Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 384 - 383: Moving with Emotion

He Qiya knew that if it was only Su Mu helping Four Eyes to speak up, she really had no way to refuse.

But there was still a very important issue here.

He Qiya felt that it was better to ask Su Mu before he brought it up.

Otherwise, she was afraid she would not have the chance to ask later.

He Qiya did not immediately answer Four Eyes’ question, her eyes firmly fixed on Su Mu.

"Su Mu, will you come with us this afternoon?"

This was the crux of the matter!

If Su Mu’s answer was affirmative, He Qiya would naturally be willing to make the trip.

After all, He Qiya only needed to show up, but if she was expected to say something to Li Minli for Four Eyes.

Or rather, if Four Eyes wanted He Qiya’s help with matchmaking, she felt that he was overestimating her.

He Qiya did not have the ability to pull strings for Four Eyes with a stranger.

But if Su Mu said he would not be coming this afternoon, He Qiya would of course refuse Four Eyes’ request.

In He Qiya’s heart, she and Four Eyes were not even that familiar.

To have He Qiya follow Four Eyes to meet someone completely unknown was something she resisted through and through.

Su Mu hadn’t expected Four Eyes’ question to be turned back on him by He Qiya.

Su Mu had not planned on going.

Just like Su Mu had said, to Li Minli,

Su Mu and Four Eyes were both strangers.

The appearance of two unknown boys in front of Li Minli at the same time seemed like it might scare the girl.

Especially since Four Eyes was going there to express his affection.

That would probably frighten Li Minli even more, wouldn’t it?

Su Mu instinctively wanted to shake his head.

Since he felt his presence wouldn’t be of any use and might even have a "bad influence,"

Su Mu certainly preferred to avoid any trouble.

He was also thinking that if he was free in the afternoon, he would return to the castle early.

It seemed like it had been several days since he had played chess with the old master.

The afternoon would be a good time to play chess with the old master, write some calligraphy, and let him enjoy the joy of family.

"Of course, Su Mu will come with me this afternoon,"

"Su Mu is the most important witness to the beginning of mine and Li Minli’s fate, how can he not go?"

"Su Mu, you’re coming with us, right?"

Before Su Mu could reply, Four Eyes rushed to give He Qiya a positive answer.

So, He Qiya’s initial judgment of Four Eyes was wrong.

How could Four Eyes be considered slow?

He was definitely on his toes.

Four Eyes knew that if Su Mu wasn’t accompanying them this afternoon, He Qiya would definitely reject his request very bluntly.

Four Eyes had long seen through He Qiya’s feelings for Su Mu.

And after Four Eyes had asked He Qiya, she had turned the question to Su Mu instead.

If Four Eyes still couldn’t read into this,

then as an observer, he really would have failed miserably.

The watcher sees more than the player.

Four Eyes had seen the signs, but Su Mu, the person involved, hadn’t thought about it in any other way.

Su Mu just figured that He Qiya was not very familiar with Four Eyes,

which was why she thought of bringing him along, right?

After all, compared to Four Eyes, He Qiya was certainly more familiar with Su Mu.

Now it turned into both He Qiya and Four Eyes staring at Su Mu.

He Qiya was waiting for Su Mu’s answer.

Four Eyes was looking at Su Mu with a pitiful expression.

Fearing that Su Mu would refuse, Four Eyes also made a gesture of putting his hands together in a pleading manner.

Four Eyes knew that the key to resolving all issues now lay with Su Mu.

It could be said that if Su Mu agreed, there was still a chance for success.

If Su Mu refused, at the very least, Four Eyes would not be able to seek out his crush that afternoon.

That was because Four Eyes needed to find a girl he knew to accompany him to approach Li Minli, in order to lessen the resistance of Li Minli towards a strange man.

In that case, the afternoon would definitely be too late.

Four Eyes didn’t have particularly good luck with the opposite sex either.

Plus, he hadn’t thought about developing any female friendships over the three years of high school, so it would be odd if his luck with girls were any good.

The only girls Four Eyes could really call friends now were Jiang Xinxuan and He Qiya.

The issue was that both of these girls became friends with Four Eyes because of Su Mu.

Naturally, Four Eyes also knew that if He Qiya didn’t agree to help today, and he was to seek Jiang Xinxuan’s assistance instead.

He would definitely have to go through Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan was, after all, Su Mu’s legitimate girlfriend.

Four Eyes couldn’t just bypass his own girlfriend to coax someone else’s girlfriend to come out, could he?

The key point was, Four Eyes didn’t have that capability, did he?

Thinking about it, whether it was Jiang Xinxuan or He Qiya, Four Eyes would have to rely on Su Mu.

Four Eyes felt it would be best to just ask Su Mu to accompany him today, that way He Qiya would surely agree too.

And the matter would be resolved.

Su Mu glanced at He Qiya, then at Four Eyes, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

It seemed he truly had to make the trip that afternoon.

Considering He Qiya’s personality, Su Mu knew if he didn’t go, Four Eyes might not be able to persuade the Ice Mountain Beauty at all.

He might as well do a good deed thoroughly and see it through to the end.

It was Su Mu who had led Four Eyes to Xinghuan Entertainment and found Li Minli’s information.

Now that they were going to seek out Li Minli in person and Four Eyes needed help, Su Mu couldn’t really just stand by and do nothing, could he?

Four Eyes not having female friends was something Su Mu was very aware of.

During the three years of high school, aside from maintaining a somewhat distant relationship with Jiang Xinxuan.

None of the other female classmates had caught Su Mu’s eye.

In comparison to Su Mu, Four Eyes’ situation was even more pronounced.

Su Mu knew that, over the three years of high school, Four Eyes had not developed friendly relationships with any of the girls.

To those female classmates, Four Eyes had really always remained just a classmate.

In the words of their high school homeroom teacher, Mu Youqing had many faults.

But the one thing teachers didn’t need to worry about was Mu Youqing having issues with puppy love.

Su Mu hadn’t thought much of it before, but now reflecting on it, Four Eyes really should have had some female friends during high school.

That way, they could have come in handy at critical moments like this, couldn’t they?

Having more friends makes for an easier path, this saying couldn’t be more accurate.

"Su Mu, if you don’t speak, I’ll take that as you agreeing," said Four Eyes.

"We’ve been classmates and friends for three years, don’t you want to witness your best friend’s happiest moment in life at the first opportunity?" pleaded Four Eyes.

"Su Mu, I’m begging you, just accompany us this one time," Four Eyes implored, growing a bit anxious as he saw Su Mu remaining silent.

Four Eyes knew that instead of asking He Qiya, it made more sense to get Su Mu to agree directly.

As long as Su Mu agreed, there wouldn’t be any problem with He Qiya.

"Okay, okay, cut the mushy talk; I’m not a girl."

Unable to bear Four Eyes’ fervent gaze, Su Mu patted his arm as though shaking off a case of the goosebumps.

Honestly, with Four Eyes’ chubby figure paired with his pitiful expression, it was tough to arouse anyone’s sympathy.

Su Mu felt it was quite an accomplishment that he had managed to stick around for so long.

After all, Su Mu didn’t want to crush the confidence of his good friend.

If it hadn’t been for his tight bond with Four Eyes, Su Mu probably would have excused himself and left by now.

A chubby kid, and a boy at that, trying to act cute in front of you.

Probably too much for anyone else to handle.

"Su Mu, you mean you agree, right?"

Though Four Eyes asked as if in doubt, he actually already knew the answer.

"Su Mu, I knew you wouldn’t just ignore your friend."

"Being friends for three years isn’t for nothing, Su Mu. Making friends with you is the best decision I’ve made in my life, Four Eyes."

It seemed like Four Eyes spoke as if he was moved by emotion.

That proud look seemed to genuinely come from the heart.

And Four Eyes truly was speaking from his feelings.

Four Eyes couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he last received praise from his own father.

In his father’s eyes, Four Eyes had always been a disappointment.

Poor academic results, with no apparent talent for business.

So far, Four Eyes’ performance had been quite mediocre indeed.

Four Eyes was self-aware enough to understand his own capabilities weren’t up to par.

Especially when compared to the former generations of the Mu family, Four Eyes’ abilities were decidedly average.

With this realization, Four Eyes no longer expected any praise from his dad.

However, when he heard the news that Su Mu, the young master of the Su Family Group, was his son Mu Youqing’s good friend.

Four Eyes’ dad gave his son unprecedented praise.

Four Eyes’ dad said, Mu Youqing hadn’t done anything in eighteen years worth being proud of.

But becoming friends with Su Mu was the most correct thing Mu Youqing had done in these eighteen years.

When faced with praise from his old man for the first time, Four Eyes was utterly baffled.

Just because he had become good friends with Su Mu, he had received such high praise from his own father?

It should be noted that Four Eyes had befriended Su Mu long before his true identity was revealed.

And they had been good friends for three years.

Back then, Four Eyes’ dad was aware, but only commented that Four Eyes should learn from his brainiac friend.

Never had he shown such excitement.

Indeed, society now is all about status.

Four Eyes felt he had truly understood this point.

Su Mu as a person hadn’t changed, but his status had.

Even Four Eyes’ father’s attitude towards him had undergone a significant shift.

Four Eyes wondered, could this be described as ’when one man attains Tao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven’?

Four Eyes wasn’t sure if he was using the phrase correctly.

But anyway, Four Eyes felt that becoming good friends with Su Mu was indeed something to be proud of.

Regardless of Su Mu’s status, Four Eyes recognized him for who he was.

"Stop talking about all that stuff; you better ask He Qiya for her opinion first."

Su Mu felt more and more goosebumps as he listened to Four Eyes.

Luckily, there were only three people here, and He Qiya knew that Four Eyes was looking for his mystery girl.

Otherwise, if someone unfamiliar saw Four Eyes staring so intently at Su Mu, they would definitely get the wrong idea.

Su Mu didn’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, so he quickly diverted Four Eyes’ attention to He Qiya.

Even if Four Eyes looked at He Qiya with the same enthusiasm, it wouldn’t draw excessive attention from others.

A young boy looking at a beautiful girl, isn’t that perfectly normal?

"Ah? Right, I forgot to ask He Qiya."

Four Eyes had been preoccupied and suddenly forgot the key person for this afternoon’s plan.

Although Four Eyes knew the answer was quite clear already.

As long as Su Mu was willing to make the trip, He Qiya would surely be willing too.

It was one thing to know it in his heart, but on the surface, Four Eyes felt he should still ask.

At least some basic respect was due.

Four Eyes knew that interacting with girls could not be as casual as with boys.

Sometimes the little details that boys don’t find very important are actually very significant to girls.

"He Qiya, Su Mu has agreed to accompany me to find Li Minli, could you please join us this afternoon?"

Very polite, Four Eyes felt he was getting the hang of dealing with girls.

That was to give enough face where it’s due.

Make the girls feel that you genuinely respect their opinions.

Though somewhat formal, the approach seemed to work quite well.

"Okay."

He Qiya nodded, signifying her agreement to Four Eyes’ request.

After all, He Qiya only cared about whether Su Mu would go along.

Now that Su Mu had agreed, He Qiya would naturally not refuse either.

"Great, Su Mu, He Qiya, shall we go now?"

With both influential individuals on board, Four Eyes felt he also had the courage to meet the mystery girl.

Strike while the iron is hot, a saying Four Eyes understood.

Four Eyes thought that while he was impassioned, he should go find Li Minli right away.

If he delayed any longer, he might lose his nerve again.

"Where do you plan to start looking?"

Su Mu hadn’t even glanced at Li Minli’s information.

Four Eyes wanted to show it to Su Mu earlier, but Su Mu felt that it was Four Eyes’ search, not his own.

So, Su Mu didn’t even take a peek.

Su Mu’s curiosity wasn’t that big to begin with, especially about a girl who had no relation to him.

It would be odd for Su Mu to take an interest in someone else’s private information.

Now, since Four Eyes was dragging him along, Su Mu needed to know where their next specific destination was.

"Oh right, I forgot about that."

Four Eyes slapped his forehead, having been so focused on the search that he hadn’t even decided where to start. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

How was he supposed to search for someone like this?

"Su Mu, look, Xinghuan Entertainment’s file here has Li Minli’s school name and home address."

"Su Mu, where do you think we should go first? To her school or her home?"

Four Eyes took out two pieces of information printed by Zhou Lina from his pocket, spread them out, and placed one in front of Su Mu.

Four Eyes thought it was better to consult Su Mu’s opinion first for such decisions.

After all, when it came to thinking things through, Four Eyes knew he was far behind Su Mu.
