Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 386 - 385 Inexplicable Jealousy

"How did it go? What did your cousin’s mother say, did she agree?"

"Can we go to Yude High School to find someone?"

"Or should we wait until your cousin’s mother has talked to your cousin’s father before we can have any concrete news?"

He Qiya had already hung up the phone, and Four Eyes asked anxiously.

Four Eyes had been listening carefully with perked ears while He Qiya was on the phone.

Unfortunately, He Qiya only briefly mentioned wanting to go to Yude High School to look for someone and didn’t say much afterward.

As for what He Qiya’s cousin’s mother’s response was, Four Eyes was even less clear.

Four Eyes could only focus intently on his own position, listening.

But Four Eyes couldn’t very well stick his ear next to He Qiya’s phone to listen, either.

It’s not that Four Eyes and He Qiya were that close yet.

Even if they were very close friends, it’d still be unthinkable to actually do such a thing.

After all, He Qiya was speaking with her elder on the phone. If Four Eyes really did that, it would be incredibly impolite.

What’s more, if things went wrong, He Qiya might even get angry and refuse to help altogether.

Four Eyes, having heard no helpful information despite straining his ears, naturally chose to ask as soon as He Qiya hung up.

Four Eyes thought that He Qiya was calling her cousin’s mother.

But the principal of Yude High School was He Qiya’s cousin’s father.

So, there was also a possibility that the three of them on this side might still need to wait a while.

Maybe He Qiya’s cousin’s mother couldn’t decide on her own and had to make a phone call to her husband?

Anyway, Four Eyes considered all the possibilities and didn’t directly press He Qiya for an immediate outcome.

"No need to wait, my cousin’s mother told us to go straight there," He Qiya said.

"My cousin’s mother will call my cousin’s father."

"Li Minli is a second-year student, right? I’ll send this information to my cousin’s mother right away, to let her help me find out which second-year class Li Minli is in."

He Qiya shook her head, her cousin’s mother had agreed immediately over the phone.

It was just a matter of looking for someone, not anything particularly serious, so there was obviously no need to wait for her cousin’s father to make a statement.

Of course, her cousin’s mother had also cautioned her over the phone to just look for the person and not to cause any big fuss.

After all, it’s a school, which is somewhat different from the outside society.

He Qiya also agreed without hesitation.

He Qiya hadn’t told her cousin’s mother exactly what her friend wanted to do with that girl.

He Qiya feared that if her cousin’s mother heard it was her friend asking that girl out or something similar, she might refuse her.

He Qiya simply told her cousin’s mother that she would be accompanying them.

Guaranteed not to make any commotion at the school.

Considering her cousin niece’s character, He Qiya’s cousin’s mother had no doubt about her.

Recalling Yao Yao’s behavior over the years, He Qiya’s cousin’s mother felt that her cousin niece wouldn’t be up to any mischief with others.

He Qiya felt that she hadn’t deceived her cousin’s mother, since after all, she had promised Four Eyes that she’d accompany him to look for Li Minli.

At the time, He Qiya wouldn’t just be accompanying Four Eyes. Of course, she’d also watch him and wouldn’t let Four Eyes do anything out of line.

After glancing at Four Eyes, He Qiya thought that he didn’t seem to have much courage.

She estimated that when they actually met Li Minli, Four Eyes might not even confess.

Let alone cause any big scene.

"Is it these three characters, ’Li Minli’?"

He Qiya typed out "Li Minli" on her phone and showed it to Four Eyes for confirmation.

The reason being that neither Su Mu nor He Qiya had seen the information typed up by Zhou Lina.

She only knew that Four Eyes was looking for a girl named Li Minli.

As for which exact three characters it was, He Qiya really didn’t know.

Now, He Qiya needed to send the name of Four Eyes’ mystery girl to her cousin, so that her cousin could figure out which class at Yude High School this Li Minli belonged to.

Finding out her exact class would make it much easier for He Qiya and the others to locate her.

At this time, Li Minli’s name of course couldn’t afford a single mistake.

"The character ’丽’ is wrong, it’s not the ’丽’ from ’beauty,’ but the ’莉’ from ’jasmine,’" he said.

Four Eyes shook his head; his mystery girl’s name was so pleasant to hear.

Jasmine, such a meaningful symbol.

How could it be mistaken for the character for ’beauty’?

"Then I’ll change it," she said.

He Qiya didn’t really see a big difference between the two characters ’莉’ and ’丽’.

To He Qiya, it was just a name; the important thing was not to mess it up.

"Li Minli, is it correct now?" she asked.

Originally, He Qiya didn’t plan to double-check with Four Eyes.

The character from ’jasmine,’ Four Eyes had made it so clear, and He Qiya wasn’t illiterate; of course, she wouldn’t get it wrong.

Yet, Four Eyes kept his neck stretched out long, peering intently at He Qiya’s phone as if afraid she might make an error.

Out of consideration for Four Eyes’ behavior, He Qiya showed him the WeChat message she had re-edited to send to her cousin.

The message on WeChat contained only the three characters "Li Minli," as He Qiya hadn’t started anything else yet.

"That’s right, these are the three characters," he confirmed.

Seeing the correct name, Four Eyes breathed a sigh of relief.

He drew his neck back in.

As long as the name was correct, Four Eyes reassured himself.

He Qiya continued to tap on her phone screen for a while before putting it away.

"Should we go there directly now, or shall we wait until my cousin sends me Li Minli’s class information?" she asked.

He Qiya’s question was still directed at Su Mu.

As if it was Su Mu who was looking for someone, not Four Eyes.

One couldn’t help but wonder if He Qiya would have been so eager to help if Su Mu was actually the one searching for someone?

"Let’s head over first; there’s still a distance to Yude High School," Su Mu suggested.

"I estimate that by the time we arrive, your cousin will have sent you the message," he added.

Accustomed to He Qiya consulting him on matters, Su Mu didn’t hesitate to provide an answer this time too.

"Yes, we should head over first; that way we can also save some time," Four Eyes agreed.

Four Eyes didn’t react to He Qiya consulting Su Mu on everything either.

Like Su Mu, he had grown quite used to it.

Listening to Su Mu’s response, Four Eyes expressed his strong support.

Sitting here waiting was just a waste of time.

Four Eyes figured that He Qiya’s cousin would likely have to make some calls to inquire, which would take some back and forth time.

By the time He Qiya’s cousin relayed the detailed information to He Qiya, it would also take a while.

"Okay then, let’s go now," He Qiya decided,

Although she was somewhat reluctant to leave so soon.

After all, even though there were three of them in the restaurant now, with Four Eyes being such a third wheel,

at least He Qiya was sitting face to face with Su Mu.

He Qiya thought that once they left this place, she and Su Mu would only be able to drive their separate cars.

She still felt somewhat disappointed.

But since Su Mu and Four Eyes had both said so, He Qiya couldn’t well express any opposition.

The three reached a consensus, and naturally, it was time to pay the bill and leave.

Four Eyes had stated from the beginning that he would treat them to this meal as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Of course, Four Eyes was the one who paid.

In reality, for the three of them, all from well-off families, none really cared about the cost of this meal.

After Four Eyes settled the bill, Su Mu walked at the front, followed by He Qiya, with Four Eyes bringing up the rear as they left the Western restaurant.

"Please take your time leaving, and welcome back next time," the bright-faced greeter said to the trio as they walked out of the restaurant.

Of course, the greeter’s gaze was fixated on Su Mu.

Handsome men were always popular, especially a super handsome guy like Su Mu.

The greeter hadn’t even forgotten that the proprietress from the Love Theme Restaurant next door had come over to inquire about the handsome guy a moment ago.

As a greeter with a vested interest in handsome men, she naturally paid even more attention to Su Mu.

Unfortunately, the handsome man hadn’t given her a single glance, and the greeter had to tuck away her admiring smile.

With a beauty accompanying the handsome man, the greeter didn’t want to risk a complaint and figured it was wiser to be discreet.

He Qiya had, of course, also noticed the greeter’s look.

She felt a tinge of displeasure, but it wasn’t appropriate for He Qiya to show it.

Not to mention that she and Su Mu weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend; she had no position to express anything.

Even if He Qiya had become Su Mu’s girlfriend at that moment, it still wouldn’t have been appropriate for her to say anything.

With Su Mu’s good looks so apparent, if just any girl took a few extra glances at him or expressed some unusual interest,

as Su Mu’s girlfriend, it would be ridiculous for He Qiya to get jealous over each one, and she knew that Su Mu would find such behavior extremely annoying.

Boys hate it when their girlfriends get upset over such baseless jealousy, finding it too troublesome.

Although He Qiya had never been in a relationship, she had seen enough of these scenarios in TV dramas.

She walked past the greeter with an expressionless face, the only way He Qiya could express her dissatisfaction with the greeter.

Because this He Qiya in front wouldn’t draw Su Mu’s attention.

The greeter sensed the chill emanating from the beauty and slightly lowered her head,

a sign of submissive weakness.

Four Eyes was preoccupied thinking about how he should behave when he saw Li Minli later.

He hadn’t noticed any of the subtle exchanges between He Qiya and the greeter walking ahead of him.

It wasn’t until the handsome trio had walked quite a distance that the greeter felt the air temperature around her return to normal.

"Who would have thought that such a young beauty could have such a strong presence," the greeter murmured to herself, patting her chest.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and the three, Su Mu included, stepped in, pressing the button for the basement floor.

There weren’t many people heading down, and this elevator ride was just for the trio.

After pressing the ’close door’ button, the elevator doors began to close.

Just as the doors were closing, Su Mu thought he saw someone running towards the elevator.

But by then, the doors were almost closed, and Su Mu knew it was too late for that person to catch it.

He didn’t give it much thought, assuming the figure was just another person trying to take the elevator.

What Su Mu didn’t know was that the figure running toward the elevator was none other than the proprietress from the Love Theme Restaurant.

The lady boss knew that the handsome guy was dining in the Western restaurant next to her own, so she had been keeping an eye on the entrance.

If he were to leave the Western restaurant and take the elevator, he would surely pass by the entrance of the Love Theme Restaurant.

The lady boss felt that even if the handsome guy didn’t dine at her place this time, she should still go out and greet him.

It was common sense to build a rapport with wealthy and influential people like him during normal times.

The lady boss thought that by doing this, she would definitely make the handsome guy feel that she was very sincere.

So, since Su Mu had entered the Western restaurant, the lady boss of the Love Theme Restaurant had been trying to multitask.

Unfortunately, sometimes even if you split your heart in two, bad luck meant it wouldn’t help.

The lady boss had only looked down to settle a customer’s bill when Su Mu and his two companions already walked past the Love Theme Restaurant entrance.

By the time the lady boss looked up, all she saw was the handsome guy’s back.

Without time to greet the customer, the lady boss dashed out of the counter.

Still, she couldn’t catch up and could only watch helplessly as the elevator doors closed in front of her.

The lady boss felt that the distance between herself and the handsome guy wasn’t much, just the width of that elevator door.

But it was this same door that shattered the lady boss’s hopes of climbing the social ladder.

Su Mu, He Qiya, and Four Eyes were unaware that there was a disappointed figure outside the elevator.

To the trio, the person outside the elevator was just someone who hadn’t made it in time.

After all, the place wasn’t crowded today, and the next elevator would come soon enough.

No big deal.

Su Mu, He Qiya, and Four Eyes continued in their separate cars.

Su Mu’s car led the way, followed by He Qiya’s red Ferrari.

Four Eyes’ car was at the rear.

The three luxury cars left the Wanda Plaza parking lot in a very eye-catching manner.

Of course, they all had the same destination: Yude High School.

One black and one red Ferrari, along with Four Eyes’ Pagani, caused quite a stir wherever they went.

However, the owners of the three luxury cars were too preoccupied to notice the commotion among the pedestrians on the roadsides.

Su Mu’s car was leading the way at a fast pace.

As long as he wasn’t speeding, Su Mu would go as fast as he could.

They barely encountered any red lights on their way and eventually stopped right at the entrance to Yude High School.

The school’s electronic gate was closed, so Su Mu and the others had to halt their cars.

It wasn’t like they could just ram through it, right?

It seemed the school had never experienced luxury cars barreling towards its gates like this before.

A security guard hurried out of the guardhouse by the school gate.

The three cars were parked side by side in front of the school, and the guard approached the black Ferrari, which was closest to the duty room.

"Hello, sir, may I ask what brings you to Yude High School?" the security guard asked very politely.

The guard recognized the brand of the Ferrari and knew that he definitely couldn’t afford to offend the person inside.

Su Mu lowered his window slightly and pointed to the red Ferrari next to him.

He gestured for the guard to direct his question to the person in the red car.

Su Mu didn’t know the principal of Yude High School, so of course, it was He Qiya’s turn to step in.

It just so happened that He Qiya noticed that the security guard was talking to Su Mu.

She beeped her horn a few times, signaling the guard to come over to her.
