Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 347 - 346: Climbing High

Looking at the unusually calm Xuanxuan, Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua exchanged glances.

Both conveyed the same message through their eyes, it seemed that their daughter had truly grown up.

In the past, if Jiang Xinxuan ever made a mistake, she would definitely act like an obedient child.

She would definitely apologize and admit her fault first, instead of looking as composed as she was now.

As a grown man, Jiang Maohua naturally felt it was inappropriate to ask his daughter about her private affairs.

Bai Mingyun glanced at the people present and felt that now was not the time to ask Xuanxuan more personal questions.

Concerning Xuanxuan’s late return, Bai Mingyun had some idea in his mind.

They were all teenagers, boys and girls, and it was hard to say what could happen on an impulse.

Weren’t Bai Wanting and Allen sitting beside them the perfect example?

Seeing that Bai Wanting had already used the tactic of acting first and reporting later, Bai Mingyun felt it wasn’t right to say much to Xuanxuan either.

Luckily, Xuanxuan’s boyfriend was Su Mu, which gave Bai Mingyun some peace of mind.

Bai Mingyun had never met Su Mu.

But Jiang Maohua had.

Latter on, because of the land around Subway Line No. 5 in Huadong City, Jiang Maohua had even discussed Su Mu with his wife specifically.

Of course, at that time, Jiang Maohua had no idea that Su Mu was his daughter’s boyfriend.

Even though Su Mu did not sell the land to Jiang Maohua, it did not affect Jiang Maohua’s admiration for Su Mu.

Jiang Maohua thought Su Mu’s business acumen was just too good.

To be able to purchase that prime land just a few days before the specific announcement of Subway Line No. 5 in Huadong City was a clear indication of Su Mu’s superior insight.

Of course, even though Su Mu eventually sold that prime land to his own father, Jiang Maohua had no complaints.

After all, Su Ruizhi was Su Mu’s father, and Su Mu’s final decision was only natural.

If Su Mu had sold the prime land to him in the end, Jiang Maohua would have found it strange.

The elbow doesn’t bend outwards, as the old saying goes, and it’s the truth.

Anyway, Bai Mingyun had never heard her husband praising someone so much.

And it was a young junior at that.

Naturally, Bai Mingyun had a very good impression of Su Mu whom she had never met.

So, regarding Xuanxuan’s late return, Bai Mingyun didn’t get too angry.

She just thought that Xuanxuan should have informed the family before coming home so late.

If it wasn’t for finding out from Bai Wanting that Xuanxuan was with Su Mu,

the Jiang Family would have probably been frantically searching the streets by now.

"Xuanxuan, how did you meet Su Mu?"

"Is Su Mu the son of Su Ruizhi, the chairman of the Su Family Group?"

Clearing her throat, Bai Mingyun thought it best to start with more tactful questions.

"Mom, Su Mu is my high school classmate, and he is indeed the son of Chairman Su Ruizhi of the Su Family Group," Jiang Xinxuan knew her mother wanted to know Su Mu’s specific identity and answered quite in detail.

"Your high school classmate?"

"Your dad and I have never heard you mention that the young master of the Su Family Group was your high school classmate."

Bai Mingyun was somewhat taken aback.

She and her husband truly did not know that among Xuanxuan’s high school classmates was such a prominent figure as the young master of the Su Family Group.

Jiang Maohua nodded, indicating that he was just as unaware of this as his wife.

If the young master of the Su Family Group was also attending Huadong International Middle School, surely people in their circle would know, wouldn’t they?

Why haven’t we heard even a whisper of this before?

"I only found out about Su Mu’s true identity after graduation," Jiang Xinxuan said.

Jiang Xinxuan gave a rough overview of what she knew.

Of course, it was the rules and such of the Su Family that Su Mu had told her.

Even after Xuanxuan had finished sharing everything she knew, Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun still wore faces of shock.

Even Bai Wanting and Allen were left utterly baffled as they listened.

Was there really such a thing?

The rules of the Su Family were truly unheard of.

"No wonder we’ve never heard about Chairman Su and Director Bai having a son before."

"I thought the two of them were so busy with their careers that they just hadn’t had any children."

"It wasn’t until the Su Corporation’s IPO celebration dinner that, upon seeing the young man appearing alongside Elder Su, everyone finally realized that the young Master Su had grown up," Jiang Maohua said with a touch of emotion.

In the past, everyone knew that Chairman Su and Director Bai had a great relationship, but they never mentioned having children.

In high society, people would sometimes gossip behind their backs, feeling it was a bit too strange.

With such a large family business like the Su’s, weren’t they anxious to have a successor?

The sudden appearance of Su Mu at the celebration dinner caught everyone off guard.

Many realized in hindsight that they had been worrying over nothing, gossiping needlessly.

The heir had already grown up; it was just that they were unaware.

Jiang Maohua, after hearing his daughter’s explanation, finally understood why there had been no stories about Young Master Su for so many years.

It turned out that their confidentiality work was exceedingly well done.

This confidentiality wasn’t just aimed at outsiders, but even the concerned party, Su Mu, was kept tightly under wraps.

Deep down, Jiang Maohua couldn’t help but marvel at why Su Mu’s demeanor was different from that of the typical rich second generation.

So, the way the Su Family educated their children was truly distinctive.

"What a pity I didn’t have time to attend Su Corporation’s IPO celebration dinner; otherwise, I might have met this mysterious Young Master Su."

Bai Mingyun certainly knew about her own husband’s desire to acquire the subway center plot number five from Young Master Su’s hands.

Latterly, when it was announced by the Su Corporation that they had already purchased that piece of land, Bai Mingyun, like her husband, felt it was only natural.

There were no feelings of displeasure.

However, Bai Mingyun was indeed very curious about Su Mu.

Now that she knew her daughter was dating Su Mu, Bai Mingyun naturally took an even greater interest in him.

"Xuanxuan, when did you start dating Su Mu?"

"Mom, Su Mu and I started dating after the college entrance exam; we really didn’t date while we were in school," Jiang Xinxuan explained, thinking her mother was concerned about whether she dated Su Mu during their school days.

She hurried to clarify.

There was a big difference between dating before finishing the college entrance exam and dating afterward.

This was something that Jiang Xinxuan was very clear about in her mind.

Although Jiang Xinxuan’s college entrance exam scores were quite good, she still felt it was necessary to make things clear.

Of course, this was also thanks to the distant yet close attitude Su Mu maintained towards Jiang Xinxuan during high school.

Otherwise, given how much Jiang Xinxuan liked Su Mu, if he had shown even the slightest hint, chances were Jiang Xinxuan’s school romance would have been a certainty.

"After the exams?" Bai Mingyun glanced at her husband.

What Bai Mingyun really wanted to ask was about the specific timing of when Xuanxuan and Su Mu had started their relationship.

"Yes, after the college entrance exams ended, Mom, Su Mu and I weren’t really in a romantic relationship while we were still in school."

Jiang Xinxuan’s words were very confident and justified.

It was the truth, so Jiang Xinxuan was able to speak frankly without lying.

"Xuanxuan, Mom believes you, but I just want to know if you and Su Mu confirmed your relationship right after the college entrance exams?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Bai Mingyun comforted her daughter but didn’t give up on finding out the exact timing of Xuanxuan’s and Su Mu’s romantic relationship.

Hearing his wife persist in this question, Jiang Maohua couldn’t help but take an extra look at her.

Jiang Maohua already had his answer.

It seemed his wife wanted to know if Su Mu and Xuanxuan were already dating by the time he wanted to purchase the central plot of land from Su Mu.

Jiang Maohua shook his head inwardly, feeling that the question was somewhat redundant.

Even if Xuanxuan and Su Mu were dating at that time, Su Mu’s decision was justified.

The Su Family Group belonged to the Su Family, and it was only natural for Su Mu to sell the central plot to his own father.

If Su Mu had changed his mind just because of a relationship, Jiang Maohua would have found it strange.

Jiang Maohua knew that even if Xuanxuan had married Su Mu at that time,

compared to the Su Family Group, he would still have to take a back seat.

Not to mention that the two young people were just in a relationship, everything was still uncertain.

"It was almost right after the college entrance exams were over, not a few days apart."

Jiang Xinxuan nodded, agreeing with her mother’s statement.

Their relationship did start just a few days after the exams ended.

"Xuanxuan, does Su Mu know about your family background?"

With one question answered, Bai Mingyun still had other things she wanted to know.

"Su Mu should already know this from school; our family doesn’t have the same rules as the Su Family."

Jiang Xinxuan felt a bit puzzled by her mother’s question.

Apart from Su Mu, students at Huadong International Middle School wouldn’t hide their family backgrounds.

How could Su Mu possibly not know about her family’s circumstances?

"Oh right, I had forgotten about that,"

Reminded by her daughter, Bai Mingyun realized she had been so focused on Su Mu’s matters that she forgot all about this aspect.

"Alright, alright, let’s not ask about that anymore, it’s good that Xuanxuan wasn’t in a relationship at school."

Seeing his wife’s questioning becoming too obvious, Jiang Maohua interrupted to divert everyone’s attention.

"Yes, yes, it’s good that they weren’t in a relationship at school,"

Bai Mingyun also realized her own slip and quickly agreed with her husband’s statement.

"But Xuanxuan, why didn’t you tell Mom about your relationship with Su Mu?"

"Do Su Mu’s parents know about you two dating?"

The land deal was a thing of the past, and dwelling on it further was of no use.

Besides, Xuanxuan had never been involved in the company’s affairs, and Bai Mingyun didn’t want her daughter to know about it either.

If Xuanxuan accidentally let something slip to Su Mu, he might even think that the Jiang Family wanted to take advantage of their relationship to acquire that plot of land.

Xuanxuan’s relationship with Su Mu was actually a happy occasion for the Jiang Family.

Compared to the Su Family Group, the Jiang Family’s power was significantly less.

This was somewhat like marrying above one’s station, wasn’t it?

Of course, in terms of Xuanxuan’s looks, Bai Mingyun thought her daughter was second to none.

"Yes, the last time the Su Family Group went public with their IPO, Su Mu took me with him."

"I’ve met Uncle Su and Aunt Bai already,"

Jiang Xinxuan said, somewhat embarrassed.

She always felt that talking to her mother about these things was like she was sneaking around to meet the man’s elders.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know if her parents would think she was being too forward after hearing this.

After all, Su Mu hadn’t even met her parents yet, and here she was, actively making her way to his doorstep.

"How did Su Mu’s parents treat you?"

Different from her daughter’s considerations, Bai Mingyun wanted to know about Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping’s attitude towards Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan had stayed with Su Mu until this late before coming home.

Without needing to delve too deep, Bai Mingyun could roughly guess what had happened between the two young people.

Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua would definitely not have any objections to Su Mu and the Su Family group.

The key issue now was Su Mu’s parents’ attitude towards Xuanxuan.

If Su Mu’s parents approved of Xuanxuan, Bai Mingyun felt that her daughter wouldn’t have much trouble entering the Su Family’s home in the future.

"Uncle and Aunt were both very nice to me. Aunt even asked me to attend the Su Family group’s celebration banquet tonight, but later..."

Jiang Xinxuan glanced at her cousin sitting to the side and did not continue.

Later, Jiang Xinxuan was pulled away to Huangtong City by her mother, and so there was no later.

Of course, Bai Mingyun also detected the implication in her daughter’s words.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, if she had known about this earlier,

no matter what, Bai Mingyun would have taken Xuanxuan to attend the Su Family group’s celebration banquet before visiting her own brother’s house.

After all, Bai Wanting’s pregnancy was already a done deal.

One extra night wouldn’t have mattered.

But for Xuanxuan, it was different.

Bai Mingyun even felt that if she had taken Xuanxuan to the Su Family’s banquet that night,

perhaps Su Mu and Xuanxuan’s relationship would have been made public by now.

Seeing Xuanxuan hesitant to speak, Bai Wanting also instantly understood.

It seems she had inadvertently delayed a great opportunity for her cousin to make her relationship with Su Mu public.

Bai Wanting made an apologetic gesture with her hands pressed together towards Xuanxuan.

Bai Wanting truly didn’t know that her affairs had affected Xuanxuan.

Jiang Xinxuan was not unreasonable, knowing her cousin did not do it on purpose.

She smiled at her cousin, letting the matter go.

Originally, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t planned on speaking about it.

If it weren’t for her mother’s detailed questions, Jiang Xinxuan would have simply moved on from this matter.

"That’s good, Xuanxuan. From my understanding of Chairman Su and Director Bai, although they are of high status, they are also reasonable people,"

"In the future, when you interact with Chairman Su and Director Bai, you must find the right balance."

Bai Mingyun had already thought about Xuanxuan’s future with Su Mu, naturally with a long-term perspective.

"I know, Mom."

Seeing that her parents weren’t upset after learning about her relationship with Su Mu,

and that her mother even seemed quite supportive, Jiang Xinxuan’s heart finally settled.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinxuan realized that although her mother had not met Su Mu,

her impression of him was surprisingly good.

Could this be the result of her father’s influence?
