Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 533 - 532 Gave a Step Down
Chapter 533: Chapter 532 Gave a Step Down
Bai Mingyun reined in a bit of the excitement in his heart, and the smile on his face also contracted slightly.
If Bai Mingyun were asked to maintain his usual composure at the moment, it would still be quite difficult.
The news that Xuanxuan had told him was genuinely too good for Bai Mingyun.
Bai Mingyun had always hoped that Su Mu would bring Xuanxuan home sooner to formally introduce her to his grandfather and parents.
Bai Mingyun knew that his daughter had already had some contact with Su Mu’s parents.
But no matter what, that wasn’t the same as a formal meeting of the younger generation with the elders.
Moreover, Su Family’s Old Master had never met Xuanxuan.
With only a month left before Xuanxuan and Su Mu would go to university,
there had been no opportunity for Su Mu to bring Xuanxuan home to meet the elders in Huadong City.
Once they started university and left Huadong City, the chance of this happening would be even less likely.
Therefore, Bai Mingyun was naturally anxious.
Unfortunately, since Xuanxuan’s boyfriend was Su Mu, Bai Mingyun couldn’t directly urge Su Mu to have her daughter meet Su Family’s elders.
Otherwise, no matter how one looked at it, Bai Mingyun’s actions would seem like she was eager to marry her daughter into the Su Family.
Now that Bai Mingyun’s wish was suddenly about to be fulfilled, it was only natural for him to be excited.
After taking a few deep breaths inwardly, Bai Mingyun felt his heartbeat seemed to have stabilized slightly.
Looking at his sister-in-law who was waiting for an answer, Bai Mingyun smiled faintly at her.
"Sister-in-law, Xuanxuan is fine, not feeling any discomfort. You and Big Brother can rest assured," Bai Mingyun said.
Bai Mingyun hadn’t forgotten that just now his elder brother had also been concerned and had suggested that Xuanxuan should go to the hospital for a check-up.
Of course, his elder brother’s concern for Xuanxuan’s health was genuine, which was different from the other relatives in the Bai Family.
This was something Bai Mingyun was very clear about in his heart.
So, Bai Mingyun’s reassurance was also intended to put his elder brother’s mind at ease.
Bai Mingqi nodded. When he heard Xuanxuan’s repeated assurances, Bai Mingqi knew that his niece likely didn’t have any serious health issues.
Now that Bai Mingyun had said so, this meant that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Xuanxuan’s health.
As for the specifics of Xuanxuan’s problem, Bai Mingqi didn’t want to ask in front of so many relatives at that moment.
If it hadn’t been for He Jingfen’s abrupt question, and Bai Mingqi hadn’t noticed his wife was about to ask directly,
He Jingfen probably wouldn’t have had a chance to ask at all, and Bai Mingqi would have stopped her.
Unfortunately, because all of Bai Mingqi’s thoughts were on entering the villa sooner and having a few "intimate" words with the young master of the Su Family currently inside,
Bai Mingqi hadn’t noticed his wife was about to bring up such an untimely question.
"It’s good to hear Xuanxuan is fine. Let’s go in then," Bai Mingqi said.
Finally hearing the words he wanted to hear the most, Bai Mingqi felt that there was no longer any reason for anyone to stop him from entering the gate of his own house, right?
"Mingyun, just now..."
He Jingfen was really curious about what exactly Xuanxuan had said to her mother, to make Bai Mingyun show such an agitated expression.
He Jingfen was so curious because in her heart, she was certain that whatever Xuanxuan had said must be related to Su Mu.
He Jingfen felt that Su Mu’s address to her as "Auntie" had refreshed her spirit and filled her with an immense sense of pride.
Just by looking at the relatives of the Bai Family gazing at her, He Jingfen felt as if her tail was wagging high in the sky.
He Jingfen knew that her future son-in-law, Allen, was also not of low status.
However, when He Jingfen introduced Allen’s identity to the Bai Family’s relatives, those relatives, who were usually so haughty, merely nodded slightly to show they acknowledged this, and that was it.
After all, Allen was not a local, and neither was his powerful family connected to the Bai Family’s relatives in any way.
Since there was no connection, how could the Bai Family’s relatives be interested in Allen’s background?
Thus, as Allen’s mother-in-law, He Jingfen hadn’t enjoyed a single admiring glance from the Bai Family’s relatives.
But it was different with Su Mu. Not to mention Bai Mingyun.
Even He Jingfen, because of that one "Auntie" from Su Mu, could feel the intense gaze of the Bai Family’s relatives chasing after her.
Having enjoyed a different sort of treatment once, He Jingfen was now even more attentive to anything related to Su Mu.
He Jingfen was sure that the conversation Bai Mingyun had with her daughter must be related to Su Mu; otherwise, Mingyun would not have acted so out of character.
When it came to her sister-in-law, He Jingfen could say she was quite familiar with her.
He Jingfen only focused on whether what she wanted to know was related to Su Mu.
He Jingfen had not considered that she was not the only one eager to know what Jiang Xinxuan had said to her mother.
Which of the Bai Family’s relatives present didn’t want to know?
When He Jingfen pressed the issue and asked again, the expectation on the faces of the Bai Family’s relatives grew even deeper.
He Jingfen was Bai Mingyun’s sister-in-law and Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt after all.
The Bai Family’s relatives knew that He Jingfen’s interjections were far more effective than theirs.
Perhaps Bai Mingyun might feel embarrassed to refuse He Jingfen’s probing and might just reveal everything outright.
If only Bai Mingyun would really speak up, at least then the Bai Family’s relatives could sleep soundly tonight.
Otherwise, with something on their minds, it wasn’t guaranteed that many of them could sleep at all.
"Mom, let’s go inside first. As long as Xuanxuan isn’t feeling unwell, that’s good enough. We can talk about other things when Aunt has time," said Bai Wanting.
"Moreover, Su Mu and Allen have been inside for a while. If they see us not going in, they will definitely find it strange."
Because of He Jingfen’s probing, Bai Wanting had to speak up to stop her mother’s behavior.
Bai Wanting was a reasonable person and could clearly see the atmosphere of the scene.
Bai Wanting knew that if her mother kept pressing her aunt, the happiest would be the Bai Family’s relatives.
Weren’t those relatives just now so eager to take Xuanxuan to the hospital for a check-up because of Su Mu?
Now, these people were probably guessing that whatever Xuanxuan told her mother must be related to Su Mu, and naturally, the relatives were very eager to know.
But Bai Wanting had clearly seen a troubled look on her aunt’s face.
Bai Wanting also understood that this was not the time to clarify what exactly Xuanxuan had said.
If Aunt and Xuanxuan thought this sort of thing could be said directly in front of so many people, Xuanxuan would have just said it outright.
Xuanxuan wouldn’t have needed to keep his voice so low that even Bai Wanting, standing next to Jiang Xinxuan, couldn’t hear what Xuanxuan was saying.
"Well, let’s hurry inside then, in case Su Mu and Allen are getting anxious. They might even come out looking for us."
Allen is, after all, her future son-in-law; He Jingfen didn’t just mention Su Mu’s name.
Though He Jingfen knew that whether or not Allen came out to look for everyone, these relatives would not really care.
But to bother the young master of the Su Family to come out looking for people, especially when Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t given the Bai Family relatives an opportunity to show their worth...
Standing outside the villa, of course these relatives felt it wasn’t appropriate.
"If Xuanxuan doesn’t feel unwell, let’s go inside, it’s not good to keep the young master of the Su Family waiting anxiously."
"If, and I’m just saying if, it’s not that Xuanxuan will definitely feel this way, but if Xuanxuan feels unwell anywhere, Aunt Yun, you can just call me directly,"
"Whether my uncle is at the hospital or not, I will definitely ask him to return to the hospital and personally check on Xuanxuan."
There was basically no chance for any other changes to occur.
For Xiao Wu, there was also no possibility of a miracle happening that would make Jiang Xinxuan feel unwell.
Moreover, Xiao Wu was almost certain that Jiang Xinxuan really didn’t have any discomfort.
Otherwise, Bai Mingyun wouldn’t be so composed.
Although Xiao Wu couldn’t be sure whether Jiang Xinxuan felt unwell, he felt that his only option was to express his concern for Jiang Xinxuan, the young master of the Su Family’s girlfriend, once again in front of both Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Mingyun. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Maybe this way, if he and his husband ever needed a favor from Bai Mingyun in the future, Bai Mingyun might remember his kindness.
The man holding the car keys, always ready to act as Jiang Xinxuan’s driver, opened his mouth but realized he had no opportunity to offer his assistance.
After all, the Bai Family had drivers; the man’s eagerness to be the driver had been somewhat superfluous.
At that time, the man could say he was so eager because of his concern for Jiang Xinxuan.
Now, could the man follow Xiao Wu’s remarks by saying if Xuanxuan ever feels unwell, just one phone call and he would immediately drive over to pick him up?
The Bai Family had cars and drivers, and besides, the young master of the Su Family’s eye-catching black Ferrari 812 was currently parked right in front of the Bai Family’s villa.
The man knew he had no chance to show off.
Similarly, the strong woman looked as if she had something to say but hesitated.
Perhaps the strong woman felt that if she spoke again, it would seem as if she was cursing Jiang Xinxuan to fall ill.
None of them were fools—they certainly didn’t want their attempts to brown-nose to backfire completely.
It would be an extremely disappointing outcome.
"Xuanxuan is not feeling unwell, so you can rest assured, and there’s no need to bother your uncle,"
Bai Mingyun felt that Xiao Wu’s repeated suggestions of Xuanxuan feeling unwell were quite unpleasant to hear.
At first, Bai Mingyun thought Xiao Wu’s concern for Xuanxuan was understandable.
But after both Xuanxuan and herself had made it clear that Xuanxuan was not feeling any discomfort, Xiao Wu’s continued insistence on mentioning going to the hospital if Xuanxuan felt unwell came across as unfriendly to Bai Mingyun.
Bai Mingyun’s tone had clearly become much colder.
However, considering that everyone was relatives, and given that Su Mu was currently in the Bai Family’s villa, Bai Mingyun did not want to cause any disturbance that might alarm Su Mu.
Therefore, Bai Mingyun’s response to Xiao Wu was quite chilly.
"Alright, Aunt Yun, it’s just that I’m too concerned about Xuanxuan, and I spoke without thinking."
"Xuanxuan, Aunt Yun, please don’t misunderstand; I truly am just concerned about Xuanxuan, without any other intention."
Xiao Wu, seeing Bai Mingyun speak this way, knew that she probably had really put her foot in her mouth.
She quickly, and anxiously, explained herself, and now Xiao Wu dared not say anything more.
Xiao Wu’s husband also realized that the words his wife had said were somewhat offensive.
He knew that the person his wife had offended was no ordinary individual.
If it were before, Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Mingyun might not have been considered people you could not afford to offend directly.
Although the Jiang Family was powerful, their influence was centered in Huadong City and posed no threat to the Bai Family’s relatives in Huangtong City.
But now that Jiang Xinxuan was Su Family’s young master’s girlfriend, it truly became a situation where they could not afford to offend her.
The Su Family conglomerate, although based in Huadong City, had subsidiaries throughout the country.
It could be said that the Su Family conglomerate’s business spread across the nation.
Xiao Wu’s husband was certainly aware that he and his wife could not afford to offend the Su Family’s young master.
If they could not afford to offend the Su Family’s young master, then naturally they could not afford to offend his girlfriend, Jiang Xinxuan, and this applied to Xiao Wu and her husband as well.
Xiao Wu’s husband forcefully tugged at his wife’s hand.
What more was there to say at this point?
The more one spoke, the more mistakes were likely to be made.
The wise move at this moment would be to smartly close one’s mouth and reduce one’s presence, which would be the best approach.
Others who had initially envied Xiao Wu for having an uncle who was the director of the city hospital were now pleased.
At the beginning, Xiao Wu had hogged all the attention, and the other relatives from the Bai Family had almost thought she was the lucky one of the day.
After all, if Xuanxuan were really unwell and Xiao Wu had contacted her uncle, the director, in front of Su Family’s young master, Xiao Wu would definitely have earned some credit.
Wouldn’t the others who had no chance to shine just be overshadowed by Xiao Wu?
But now, it was a different story; Jiang Xinxuan was not feeling unwell, and Xiao Wu had lost her chance to show off.
It was like everyone was back at the starting line again.
Having entered this villa, in front of Su Family’s young master, everyone’s status was the same, relatives of the Bai Family.
Who could leave a deep and good impression in front of Su Family’s young master was now truly a matter of individual skill.
"Auntie, let’s go inside if Xuanxuan is feeling fine. Su Mu and Allen are probably getting anxious by now."
"Mom, let’s talk about it later tonight; it’s rather hot standing out here for everyone right now."
It was Bai Wanting who spoke up, also giving her mother a way out.
