Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 348 - 347 Su Mu’s Charm
Chapter 348: Chapter 347 Su Mu’s Charm
Jiang Xinxuan knew that her mother had never met Su Mu.
It was her father, Jiang Xinxuan believed, who must have seen Su Mu at the Su Family Group’s celebration banquet.
Her father had definitely met Su Mu.
Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan felt that her mother’s attitude towards Su Mu was most likely influenced by her father.
However, Jiang Xinxuan found it strange that Su Mu had never mentioned her father to her.
Jiang Xinxuan had originally thought that it was because there were too many people at the Su Family Group celebration banquet and Su Mu didn’t have the chance to interact with her father.
So Jiang Xinxuan didn’t specifically ask Su Mu about it.
"Dad, have you met Su Mu?"
Jiang Xinxuan voiced her doubts.
"Mm, I saw him from a distance at the Su Family Group’s banquet."
"There wasn’t any direct contact."
Jiang Maohua answered very thoroughly.
At that time, at the banquet, the most eye-catching person wasn’t Elder Su or the couple Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping.
Of course, it was Su Mu who was the most attractive, making his formal debut.
Not to mention that the identity of Su Mu as the young master of the Su Family Group was enough to scare a bunch of people.
Even Su Mu’s handsome appearance attracted the attention of all the female guests at the banquet that day.
Back then, Jiang Maohua wondered which girl would be so fortunate to catch the eye of the Su Family’s young master.
Jiang Maohua never expected that his own daughter would become that lucky person.
"No wonder Su Mu never mentioned to me about having met you."
Jiang Xinxuan nodded, it seemed her guess was correct, Su Mu really hadn’t met her father.
"Xuanxuan, you and Su Mu are about to start college, you’ve chosen Z University, what about Su Mu?"
"You two have just started dating, if it becomes a long-distance relationship, there can be a lot of changes in the relationship."
Bai Mingyun, having already approved of Su Mu in her heart, thought more long-term.
It’s the case of a mother-in-law growing fonder of her son-in-law the more she observes him.
Bai Mingyun had taken it a step further, not having met Su Mu yet, but she already regarded him as the future son-in-law.
She had even considered the various disadvantages of a long-distance relationship.
"Su Mu will be attending Z University; he was the top science student and the recruitment directors from both Z University and S University personally came to our school to scout for talents."
"Su Mu ultimately chose Z University."
"I chose Z University as well."
Since her parents already knew about her relationship with Su Mu,
and from their looks, they didn’t seem to object,
Jiang Xinxuan didn’t hide it anymore.
She had indeed chosen Z University because of Su Mu, and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t think there was anything secretive about this.
"No wonder, I was wondering why you hadn’t made up your mind, and suddenly you chose Z University?"
"It turns out it was all because of Su Mu."
Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua both looked like they’d just had an epiphany.
It’s true, a grown daughter can’t be kept at home, and it’s not just something people say.
Bai Mingyun originally thought, upon knowing about Bai Wanting’s situation, that her own daughter wouldn’t do something so bold.
After all, from a young age, Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Wanting’s personalities were entirely different.
Bai Wanting had always been bolder and appeared to have more initiative.
But Xuanxuan, she had been the caring little padded jacket since she was young, and Bai Mingyun even felt that Xuanxuan never gave her much trouble at all.
It turned out that in front of love, Xuanxuan was not any less bold than her cousin.
"Su Mu’s grades are quite impressive, huh."
First in science, that’s not something one can achieve by simply taking a test.
Jiang Maohua’s admiration for Su Mu grew even deeper.
"Of course, Su Mu is the top scholar of our school,"
When Jiang Xinxuan said this, she was very proud.
Having an impressive boyfriend made Jiang Xinxuan feel quite honored herself.
Watching her daughter, Jiang Maohua just smiled without saying a word.
Xuanxuan has deep feelings for Su Mu, which Jiang Maohua completely sees.
However, Jiang Maohua felt that the Su Family was indeed too low-key.
As the Su Family’s only heir, the announcement has come only now.
Because Xuanxuan mentioned it was the Su Family’s rule, Jiang Maohua refrained from making further comments.
But Su Mu had become the top science scholar and was being fought over by Z University and S University, the two most prestigious universities in the country.
This sort of event, let alone in a prominent family like the Su Family,
would surely be a great celebration even in an ordinary wage-earning family.
To use an old saying, it is an event that brings glory to one’s ancestors.
And yet, the Su Family hasn’t breathed a word about it.
It’s as if Su Mu scoring the top position in science was an incredibly easy and ordinary thing to do.
Of course, Jiang Maohua didn’t voice her inner thoughts.
This was the Su Family’s own affair, even if her daughter was in a relationship with Su Mu.
Jiang Maohua knew that this was not her place to comment.
The family gathered around Su Mu and chatted for a while.
Everyone already had an answer in mind, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask Xuanxuan too deeply face-to-face.
Because Xuanxuan’s return was really too late,
not to mention there was Bai Wanting, a pregnant woman, in the living room.
Not much longer, Bai Mingyun also let people go.
Jiang Xinxuan was really tired; she had just been pushing herself to answer her parents’ queries.
Hearing her mother’s order of clemency, Jiang Xinxuan was the first to stand up. After saying goodnight to everyone, she went straight back to her room.
Due to the extensive physical activity that evening, even though the private room had air conditioning, sweating was inevitable.
All Jiang Xinxuan could think of now was to take a hot shower as soon as possible to wash off the sticky sweat from her body,
and then to have a good night’s sleep.
Now that she had gotten past her parents, Jiang Xinxuan had nothing to worry about.
She could certainly sleep peacefully and meet Zhou Gong in her dreams.
"Wanting, is ’top scholar in science’ the same as being first place?"
"Is it divided like the levels in martial arts novels?"
Jiang Xinxuan had already gone upstairs. After saying goodnight to Allen and her aunt and uncle, Bai Wanting was also preparing to go back to her room to rest.
But Allen had just heard the ranking of his idol and felt he had to get it clarified.
If it was categorized like the levels in martial arts novels, wouldn’t his idol be in first place?
Allen was very excited, as if the top scholar in science wasn’t Su Mu, but himself.
"Martial arts novels? I haven’t read those,"
"But the ’top scholar in science’ that Su Mu got means first place in science,"
Bai Wanting, knowing her fiancé’s command of the national language was still lacking, didn’t beat around the bush and provided the answer directly.
"Just as I thought, Mu is really impressive,"
Allen’s excitement was too obvious, and Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua couldn’t help but notice.
The couple exchanged a knowing glance, and both grew even more curious about Su Mu.
How strong was Su Mu’s charm?
In just one afternoon, he had Allen wrapped around his finger?
"Husband, do you think Xuanxuan and Su Mu will get married in the future?"
"I see that Xuanxuan’s feelings for Su Mu are very deep. It’s just that I don’t know what Su Mu’s attitude towards Xuanxuan is."
"It seems that the relationship between Xuanxuan and Su Mu is more than just simple dating by now. I’m afraid that what should have happened, and what shouldn’t have, has already..."
Bai Mingyun looked at her husband and didn’t continue.
After all, Xuanxuan was a girl, and Bai Mingyun felt it was somewhat indelicate to speak of such matters.
"Young people nowadays are different from our time. Xuanxuan has grown up."
Jiang Maohua certainly understood what his wife meant to say.
But since it had already happened, there was no use in the couple discussing it any further.
Moreover, Jiang Maohua was very satisfied with Su Mu.
Not to mention that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family business; just that alone was enough to match his own daughter.
Jiang Maohua knew that Su Mu was not just a simple rich second generation.
Jiang Maohua admired Su Mu for the investments he had made in properties.
This showed that Su Mu was a capable person in his own right.
Not just average capability, in Jiang Maohua’s view, Su Mu’s future achievements might even surpass those of his father, the current chairman of the Su Family company, Su Ruizhi.
You know, Su Mu was just a student who had recently graduated from high school and was preparing for college.
If Su Mu were to take over the Su Family business and truly immerse himself in commerce, then his future was truly unlimited.
"Husband, do you think we should invite Su Mu over to our house for a visit?"
"After all, with their relationship being so close, as parents, we should meet Su Mu, right?"
Bai Mingyun felt that Xuanxuan was already Su Mu’s, so it was only natural for her and her husband to meet their future son-in-law, wasn’t it?
"You find a time to ask Xuanxuan about it. Then we’ll see what Su Mu’s attitude is."
"If Su Mu doesn’t want to meet the parents so soon, don’t push him too hard."
"Let nature take its course, you need to have confidence in your own daughter."
Jiang Maohua comforted his wife while getting up from the sofa and putting his arms around her waist.
It was late, and everyone needed their rest.
...
Even though Su Mu had gone to bed late in the night, he awoke at the first sound of his alarm, leaping out of bed.
It was the same old routine, a quick wash-up followed by a descent downstairs to the dining room.
Elder Su was already there, reading the newspaper.
It seemed that Su Mu’s late return the previous night had not affected Elder Su’s confidence in his grandson.
Elder Su already knew, no matter how late Xiao Mu came back, it wouldn’t affect the next day’s Tai Chi session together.
The old man had gotten used to this life with his grandson’s company.
It was just that thinking of Xiao Mu going off to university after the summer, he would be doing Tai Chi on his own again.
All of a sudden, Elder Su felt a lonely feeling.
He had lived this way for over a decade now, and it seemed as though he had grown accustomed to it.
But after about half a month of Su Mu’s company, it felt like those decades-long habits had vanished.
Of course, Elder Su wouldn’t show this sorrow on his face.
Elder Su knew that what Su Mu was doing stemmed from filial piety.
"Grandpa, good morning."
Su Mu, unaware of the old man’s internal emotions, greeted him cheerfully.
"Good morning."
Elder Su put down the newspaper, his demeanor calm, showing no sign of the emotional whirlwind that had just passed through his mind.
"Grandpa, I have something to do today and have to go out at 8:30."
Su Mu hadn’t forgotten the promise he made to Four Eyes to accompany him to Xinghuan Entertainment to meet someone today.
They had agreed to meet at Xinghuan Entertainment at 9 o’clock, and it should take about half an hour to get there from the castle.
Of course, if there were traffic jams, that was beyond Su Mu’s consideration.
You couldn’t expect Su Mu to leave an hour early, could you?
"Xiao Mu, have you been very busy lately?"
Elder Su heard from Ah Fook’s report today that Xiao Mu didn’t return to the castle until late last night.
It wasn’t a big deal for young people to play late and come back later, as Elder Su didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Elder Su trusted that his grandson was someone who knew his limits.
Originally, Elder Su thought that Xiao Mu would go back to his room to catch up on some sleep after practicing Tai Chi with him.
After all, even if Xiao Mu was young, he needed to recover his physical strength.
But Elder Su found that his grandson seemed to be made of iron.
Even if he had only slept a few hours the previous night, he didn’t look tired at all.
Not to mention that Xiao Mu was planning to go out and run errands right after practicing Tai Chi with him.
It was out of concern for his grandson that Elder Su asked this.
"Grandpa, I’m not that busy. It’s just that things coincidentally piled up today, and I have to accompany a high school classmate to Uncle He’s Xinghuan Entertainment to find someone."
"Since my classmate doesn’t know Uncle He, I had no choice but to bring him along."
Su Mu didn’t hide anything, as this wasn’t a big deal, and he simply told the truth.
Su Mu knew that if Grandpa really wanted to find out, he wouldn’t be able to hide it.
"Xiao Mu, it’s fine to help, but you should also take care of your health."
"Come back early tonight. No matter how good a young person’s constitution is, you can’t neglect it."
Elder Su was most concerned about Su Mu’s physical condition.
As for the minor matter of Su Mu helping a classmate find someone at Xinghuan Entertainment, Elder Su didn’t really care to pay attention to that.
"Got it, Grandpa."
Su Mu smiled, realizing that Grandpa wasn’t upset about him coming back late.
Was Grandpa worried that he couldn’t handle it physically?
Su Mu felt that Grandpa didn’t know about the existence of the system, this kind of mysterious being.
If Grandpa knew about the system and that it had given him something great like Champion Physical Fitness,
Su Mu thought that Grandpa wouldn’t worry about these things anymore.
With Champion Physical Fitness, Su Mu was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Even if he didn’t sleep for three days and three nights, Su Mu would still be full of energy and unaffected.
However, Su Mu still agreed, as this was Grandpa’s way of showing care, and of course, he wouldn’t go against it.
"Old Master, Young Master, breakfast is ready."
Su Mu and Grandpa hadn’t talked much when Ah Fook came over.
Because Su Mu was very punctual, Ah Fook didn’t have to wait for Su Mu to come downstairs before instructing the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.
When the time came, Ah Fook would have the kitchen begin preparations.
So, just a few minutes after Su Mu walked into the dining room, breakfast was already prepared.
"You have things to do today, so go ahead and start practicing after you eat."
Elder Su stood up, indicating that it was better to hurry.
"Grandpa, there’s no rush, we’ll make it."
Su Mu followed Elder Su to the dining table.
But in truth, Su Mu wasn’t in a rush at all.
If it hadn’t been for him taking into account the time to practice Tai Chi with Grandpa, he wouldn’t have arranged to meet Four Eyes at nine in the morning.
