Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 400 - 399 Resolving Hostility

Since Xuanxuan said there wasn’t any problem, Su Mu, of course, wouldn’t limit his girlfriend’s foodie nature.

After all, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had known each other for three years.

Though Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t top-notch in her high school PE classes,

Su Mu knew his girlfriend didn’t lag behind in sports, either.

Normal running was really no issue for Jiang Xinxuan.

During high school PE, they often had to do long-distance running tests, with boys running one thousand meters and girls eight hundred meters.

Hadn’t Jiang Xinxuan always completed her tasks successfully?

Knowing that flat shoes wouldn’t affect Xuanxuan’s light jogging, Su Mu no longer stopped his girlfriend’s cute behavior.

Wandering from one snack shop to another, it didn’t take long before Jiang Xinxuan’s arms were full of various snacks.

"Su Mu, shall we go sit over there to eat?"

Both her hands were full, and Jiang Xinxuan knew she couldn’t possibly buy any more snacks.

Yet standing there, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t have a third hand to pick up and eat anything.

Luckily, the walking street was flanked with round tables and stools for people to rest.

Jiang Xinxuan pointed to an empty round table nearby, wanting to go there first to set down what she was carrying.

"Okay."

Su Mu wasn’t empty-handed, either.

At his girlfriend’s insistence, Su Mu was also carrying quite a few snacks.

Based on their previous travel experience together, Su Mu knew most of these snacks would end up in his own stomach.

Plainly put, Xuanxuan loved to eat but was a somewhat unqualified foodie.

Actually, Jiang Xinxuan’s appetite was smaller than most people’s.

That’s why Su Mu deliberately prefixed "foodie" with "little" when describing Xuanxuan.

It meant that Xuanxuan had too small of a stomach and couldn’t eat much.

The walking street was fairly crowded, but many round tables were free.

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan did not need to squeeze with anyone and walked directly to a round table.

Having set down their items, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan sat down.

"Right, I bought a bunch of food but I didn’t get any drinks."

Ready to dig in, Jiang Xinxuan felt something was missing.

On closer inspection, she realized she hadn’t bought any drinks.

Having food without drinks would affect the experience of indulging in delicious snacks.

"Su Mu, what would you like to drink? I’ll go buy it."

Jiang Xinxuan picked up a napkin to wipe her hands, getting ready to buy drinks.

"No need, I’ll go. What do you want?"

He pulled back Xuanxuan, who was about to get up, and Su Mu stood up.

When walking with his girlfriend, Su Mu felt that doing things like buying drinks should still be a man’s job.

It wasn’t about being chauvinistic, but rather a form of cherishment towards his girlfriend.

"I’d like a cup of iced fruit tea."

She pointed to the HeyTea shop on one side, revealing that Jiang Xinxuan already had her target in mind.

"Wait here."

Su Mu glanced over and saw there were still a few people in line.

He walked over leisurely, not in any hurry since there were a few people ahead of him anyway.

Watching Su Mu go to buy her a drink, Jiang Xinxuan’s face was full of bliss.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that after the college entrance exams, it was as if the goddess of fortune had taken a special fancy to her.

Not only had she started dating Su Mu, but they had also developed an intimate relationship.

Moreover, today Su Mu had agreed to go to her house tomorrow to meet her parents.

Now that Su Mu was so indulgent towards her, Jiang Xinxuan felt she was really, really, really lucky.

Although Jiang Xinxuan did not follow Su Mu, her gaze never left him.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinxuan found her view blocked by an unexpected visitor.

Since Jiang Xinxuan was seated, she could only see the waist of the person blocking her.

Looking up with dissatisfaction, Jiang Xinxuan felt the person blocking her was incredibly impolite.

Because the person blocking Jiang Xinxuan’s view was not simply passing by.

After getting in Jiang Xinxuan’s way, that person just stood in front of her without any intention of moving away.

Jiang Xinxuan thought she had to take a good look to see who was so thick-skinned as to create a blockage without considering stepping aside.

When she saw the face of the person blocking her, Jiang Xinxuan was startled for a moment.

He was a young man, who would be considered quite decent-looking if not compared to Su Mu.

But having gotten used to Su Mu’s attractiveness, Jiang Xinxuan naturally thought the man in front of her was just average-looking.

Jiang Xinxuan was not curious about the young man’s appearance, but she felt she had seen this man somewhere before.

But where specifically?

Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t recall at all.

"Could you please make way?"

Since she couldn’t remember, Jiang Xinxuan certainly wasn’t going to dwell on it.

This only meant that the man was not someone significant to Jiang Xinxuan.

So, she didn’t take it to heart.

Jiang Xinxuan politely asked the man not to block her anymore.

Her boyfriend had gone to buy her a drink, and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know if Su Mu had reached the front of the line yet.

"You don’t remember me?"

The young man did not step aside as Jiang Xinxuan had hoped, but instead asked with a hint of disappointment.

When Jiang Xinxuan first looked at the man, there was a slight thrill in his heart.

Because he clearly saw a moment of surprise in the beauty’s eyes. freёwebnoѵel.com

That feeling indicated the beauty had recognized him urgently.

But now that the beauty was so calmly asking him to step aside, the man knew she had not truly remembered who he was.

The man had always been infatuated with the beauty, and when he saw her so unexpectedly today, he thought it was a blessing from the heavens>.

"Should I remember you?"

Jiang Xinxuan found it quite strange; did this man have any relation to her?

Did she need to remember him?

Jiang Xinxuan realized she had no recollection of this man in her mind at all.

"Sir, are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for someone else? I don’t know you."

Not wanting to engage further with the man, Jiang Xinxuan hoped he would voluntarily stay away from her.

She had seen this type of situation with men many times.

If the man wasn’t intentionally trying to strike up a conversation, the only other explanation was that he had mistaken her for someone else.

Regardless of the situation, Jiang Xinxuan was not interested.

"We’ve met at Z University, on the basketball court."

"My name is Zhou Haoming; you came to Z University with your friend at that time."

As it turned out, the man was Zhou Haoming, the campus hunk who had had a bit of a conflict with Su Mu at Z University.

Initially, Zhou Haoming wanted to attack Su Mu, but in the end, Su Mu had beaten him so badly that he lost all his face.

Since the basketball incident, Zhou Haoming’s reputation at Z University had declined sharply.

Even the girls who had once been smitten with Zhou Haoming were now disgusted with him.

However, Zhou Haoming had never been interested in those girls anyway, and of course, he didn’t take it to heart.

The one he had always been thinking about was the beautiful girl now standing before him.

It could be said that Zhou Haoming’s impulsive actions against Su Mu had been entirely because of Jiang Xinxuan.

Unfortunately, in the end, Zhou Haoming had sacrificed his reputation at Z University without even finding out the girl’s name.

Let alone any other specific information about her.

In the following days, Zhou Haoming wandered around the campus like a man possessed, hoping to run into the girl again.

All with the hope of encountering the girl once more.

But Zhou Haoming’s wish never came true.

The girl had appeared only once at Z University and then never showed her face again.

Just as Zhou Haoming was about to lose all hope,

he hadn’t expected that by attending a basketball game in Huadong City, he would once again meet the girl he’d been constantly thinking about.

He obviously couldn’t let such a rare opportunity slip by again.

An excited Zhou Haoming rushed over to Jiang Xinxuan, not caring if his behavior seemed too abrupt to the girl.

After all, Zhou Haoming knew that if he didn’t seize this opportunity,

he might never get the chance to see her again.

Z University? The basketball court?

Watching the man in front of her state his name and mention two key points,

Jiang Xinxuan took another careful look at this man named Zhou Haoming.

Now that he mentioned it, she seemed to have a faint memory of him.

Wasn’t this Zhou Haoming the same guy who had tried to attack Su Mu with a basketball and failed?

As she realized that this Zhou Haoming had tried to ambush her boyfriend, Jiang Xinxuan’s face turned cold.

Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t believe Zhou Haoming had the audacity to show up in front of her,

After his failed attempt to ambush Su Mu, now reminding her of his ’noble’ deeds?

If Zhou Haoming knew what was on Jiang Xinxuan’s mind, he would have felt completely wronged.

His disgraceful actions on the basketball court that day had been solely to establish some sort of connection with the girl before him.

Zhou Haoming, who had thrown himself into this mess, hadn’t managed to obtain even a bit of information about the girl.

It really felt like a case of ’the more you scheme, the less you gain.’

Of course, Zhou Haoming hadn’t wanted the girl to remember such an unflattering scene involving himself.

However, Zhou Haoming found that the girl seemed to truly have no recollection of him at all.

Having no other choice, Zhou Haoming didn’t want to come off as a deliberately flirtatious playboy,

So he had to use this method to jog the girl’s memory.

Zhou Haoming felt this was the only option left,

At least it would make the girl remember him, to know that he had indeed seen her before.

"I don’t know you."

Jiang Xinxuan did recall who this Zhou Haoming blocking her path was.

But Jiang Xinxuan had only seen Zhou Haoming at the Z University basketball court; it was not enough to consider him an acquaintance.

Besides, this Zhou Haoming harbored considerable animosity towards Su Mu.

Although Jiang Xinxuan did not understand why Zhou Haoming had been hostile towards Su Mu upon their first meeting,

She guessed it was probably because Zhou Haoming felt Su Mu had stolen his limelight.

Indeed, due to Su Mu’s presence, the female students who had been cheering for Zhou Haoming seemed to have indeed shifted their attention to Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t think of any other reason and could only conclude this.

Since there was no standard answer provided, this could only be considered as her own speculation.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan was on the same team as Su Mu.

That Zhou Haoming’s attitude towards Su Mu, and those sneaky moves.

Jiang Xinxuan naturally categorized Zhou Haoming as an enemy.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that day at the Z University basketball court, if it weren’t for Su Mu’s quick reflexes.

Su Mu might have been injured, which was quite possible.

Otherwise, Jiang Xinxuan, educated since she was young, should have been scolding Zhou Haoming right now.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Jiang Xinxuan chose to ignore Zhou Haoming outright.

"Think again, on the basketball court of Z University, you came with your friend."

Being repeatedly told by the girl that she didn’t recognize him, Zhou Haoming was also getting anxious.

In order to get the girl to remember him, Zhou Haoming had no choice but to mention that handsome guy, the very last person he wanted to bring up.

Zhou Haoming knew the girl’s relationship with that handsome guy was not ordinary.

Watching them leave hand in hand that day, Zhou Haoming also knew that the handsome guy must be the girl’s boyfriend.

But Zhou Haoming didn’t want to admit this in his heart, so he used "friend" to describe the relationship between the girl and the handsome guy.

"Do you really want to make me remember your despicable behavior back then?"

With Zhou Haoming repeatedly bringing up the Z University basketball court, Jiang Xinxuan was also getting angry.

Just how thick-skinned is this Zhou Haoming?

Doing such shameful things and still constantly reminding people?

Does Zhou Haoming think in his heart that attacking Su Mu secretly was something to be proud of?

Even if the sneaky attack wasn’t successful, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t see what there was to be proud of.

Because of the girl’s dismissive comment, Zhou Haoming was clearly startled.

Tugging at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Haoming realized that the girl didn’t actually have no impression of him.

She simply scorned the thought of remembering him.

However, Jiang Xinxuan’s attitude did not diminish Zhou Haoming’s obsession with the girl.

Even a bad impression, Zhou Haoming felt, was better than the girl forgetting him entirely.

So it seems, self-delusion can sometimes be a truly frightening thing.

What Zhou Haoming didn’t know was that if it weren’t for his repeated references to the Z University basketball court.

Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t have had any impression of Zhou Haoming in her heart at all.

Now that she remembered, it was all bad impressions.

Jiang Xinxuan only felt more repelled by this Zhou Haoming.

"I don’t know what came over me that time, I was just hot-headed and made that move."

Since the incident on the basketball court, Zhou Haoming didn’t know how many people had been talking behind his back.

But Zhou Haoming clenched his teeth and never uttered a word of explanation.

Even when facing his own basketball team members, Zhou Haoming replaced explanation with silence.

Now, in front of the girl he had been yearning for, Zhou Haoming felt he must explain.

Not for anything else, Zhou Haoming just hoped the girl wouldn’t think too poorly of him.

"I know you might not believe what I say."

"But I really had no ulterior motive, that day was also my first time seeing your friend."

Zhou Haoming conveniently omitted his true motives.

For Zhou Haoming, the most important task right now was to dissolve the girl’s hostility towards him.
