Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 419 - 418 Too Clingy to Su Mu

Bai Wanting’s concerns were actually superfluous, as Allen would never be jealous of his own idol, okay?

Even if it was his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Allen didn’t feel there was anything to it.

Everyone liking Su Mu was very normal to Allen.

If people didn’t like Su Mu, that’s what Allen would find strange.

No one was unhappy; everyone was genuinely pleased about Su Mu’s visit to the Jiang Family tomorrow.

The matter between Bai Wanting and Allen also seemed to have reached a final conclusion—both just needed to return to Huangtong City and wait to get married.

The issue between Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu would, after tomorrow, be officially acknowledged with the meeting of their parents.

Even though Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were only dating, meeting the parents could make it all feel much more official.

Because He Jingfen would take Bai Wanting and Allen back early tomorrow morning.

It was indeed getting late, so after chatting for a while, everyone retired to their rooms to rest.

"Su Mu, have you arrived home?"

Back in his room, Jiang Xinxuan estimated the time, thinking Su Mu should have reached home by now.

After sending a WeChat message, Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu wouldn’t immediately reply to him.

Waiting a minute and not receiving a reply from Su Mu as expected, Jiang Xinxuan took his change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

At that time, Su Mu had indeed returned to the castle.

Because it was very late, Elder Su had long gone to rest.

After Elder Su rested, Ah Fook would also usually retire to his own room to rest.

So, apart from a few servants, Su Mu hardly saw anyone else.

Before entering the castle gates, Su Mu noticed the light was on in his mom and dad’s room.

But it wasn’t the bright overhead light, more like the dim light of a bedside lamp.

Su Mu knew his mom and dad had returned to the castle and guessed they were getting ready for bed.

Knowing his parents had been busy all day, Su Mu didn’t intend to disturb his mom and dad.

Upon returning to his room, Su Mu also glanced at his phone, but at that time Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t had the chance to send a message yet.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t just start texting Su Mu while in front of his Aunt, right?

Doing that would seem disrespectful to the elder and make everyone think he was too clingy to Su Mu.

Family members all knew they had only just separated from Su Mu.

So, by the time Jiang Xinxuan returned to his room and texted Su Mu, Su Mu had long been enjoying his hot bath.

Soaking in a luxurious hot bath before bed had become a mandatory routine for Su Mu.

Once Su Mu finished all his bedtime preparations and came out of the bathroom, he threw himself onto the soft, large bed.

That’s when Su Mu finally had time to pick up his phone and browse through it.

This had become another habit of his.

He would check his phone before bed, responding to messages if needed.

If it was from someone not so important or the message was trivial,

then it was up to Su Mu’s mood to decide whether to reply or not.

Turning on his phone screen, Su Mu discovered that everyone was a night owl.

And sure enough, there were little red dots on Su Mu’s WeChat.

Opening WeChat, he found several days’ worth of unread messages.

Sorting by closeness, Su Mu first clicked on Xuanxuan’s avatar.

His girlfriend, besides his family, was of course the most important person compared to others.

"Su Mu, have you gotten home yet?"

Jiang Xinxuan had probably gotten used to Su Mu’s WeChat response pattern, simply sending him this short message.

She didn’t rush for an answer when she didn’t get a reply from Su Mu right away.

"Got home, just finished showering."

It had been over an hour since he had parted with Xuanxuan.

Su Mu felt that with his driving skills, how could he possibly not be home yet.

Even a novice driver should have made it home at snail’s pace, right?

So, Su Mu had given his girlfriend a reason why it took him so long to respond.

"I just took a shower too."

She replied in a second, making Su Mu wonder if Xuanxuan was even clutching her phone while showering.

How could she time her response so perfectly?

What Su Mu didn’t know was that when Jiang Xinxuan said she had just finished showering, she had actually already dried her hair and was cuddling her phone waiting for his message.

"Su Mu, I didn’t find out until I got home today that my aunt had come over."

"It’s because my uncle finally relented today and approved of the marriage between my cousin and Allen, and auntie came to pick up my cousin and Allen for their trip to Huangtong City."

Since Su Mu was Allen’s best man, Jiang Xinxuan felt it was her duty to tell him such important news immediately.

It would prepare him mentally.

Her uncle’s approval of her cousin’s wedding to Allen indicated that the ceremony was approaching fast.

Jiang Xinxuan knew she and Su Mu would both need to go to Huangtong City, so Su Mu might as well get ready in advance.

"Looks like Allen finally made it through."

Su Mu was truly happy for Allen.

The wedding ceremony signified that Bai Wanting’s father finally acknowledged Allen.

For Allen, coming all this way finally amounted to something.

Jiang Xinxuan noticed that Su Mu hadn’t mentioned her aunt at all—could it be that he didn’t notice?

Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t mentioned that her aunt would be returning to Huangtong City early in the morning.

According to their plans, Su Mu was supposed to visit her home tomorrow.

Did Su Mu truly not mind an extra elder at her home?

Jiang Xinxuan realized she might have been overthinking it.

When Jiang Xinxuan saw her aunt, apart from being happy, she also felt a vague worry.

The timing of her aunt’s visit was just too coincidental; Jiang Xinxuan feared that Su Mu might mind.

Now, seeing Su Mu’s reaction, Jiang Xinxuan thought she had really been over-worrying.

"Yeah, auntie said she would take my cousin and Allen back early tomorrow morning, as there’s a lot to do for the wedding."

Even though Su Mu didn’t ask, Jiang Xinxuan still reported the situation at home to her boyfriend honestly.

"That’s a shame; otherwise, I could’ve congratulated Allen in person."

Su Mu really didn’t care one bit that Xuanxuan’s house now had an aunt.

You see, Su Mu had always been the child favored by other people’s family members, and being liked too much was never an issue for him. So how could he mind that the Jiang Family had one more aunt?

Su Mu, upon reading Xuanxuan’s message that Allen and the others would be leaving early tomorrow, felt a twinge of regret.

"Never mind, I’ll congratulate him when the wedding comes around."

"Mm, once my cousin and Allen’s wedding date is set, I’ll tell you right away."

Jiang Xinxuan’s focus was different from Su Mu’s.

Su Mu saw the difficulties Allen had faced.

Jiang Xinxuan cared about whether Su Mu minded having an aunt by marriage in the family, though Su Mu wouldn’t meet his aunt tomorrow.

"Su Mu, my aunt really wants to meet you. It’s just because my cousin’s wedding is so rushed that she’s eager to take her and Allen back early in the morning."

Since her boyfriend didn’t mind having an additional aunt in the family, Jiang Xinxuan naturally shared her aunt’s sentiments.

For some reason, Jiang Xinxuan always felt that through her aunt’s attitude and words...

Jiang Xinxuan thought that at her cousin and Allen’s wedding, her uncle might be even more excited to meet Su Mu than her aunt.

Jiang Xinxuan felt it was better to give her boyfriend a precautionary warning in advance.

To prepare Su Mu psychologically, so if her uncle was truly very excited at that time, Su Mu would probably be more accepting.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan’s understanding of her uncle’s attitude was based purely on her own speculation.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t directly mention her uncle to Su Mu.

She just brought up her aunt first. After all, her uncle and aunt were a couple, and Jiang Xinxuan believed that once Su Mu knew about her aunt’s attitude...

he would find it easier to accept her uncle’s reaction later on.

Meet me?

Allen is Xuanxuan’s aunt’s son-in-law, so her wanting to meet me only shows that she’s very concerned about Xuanxuan, her niece.

Su Mu didn’t think much of it and simply felt it was the concern of a senior for a beloved junior.

So, Su Mu didn’t pick up on Xuanxuan’s hint. After all, Xuanxuan’s aunt would leave early in the morning the next day.

Su Mu certainly wouldn’t meet Xuanxuan’s aunt tomorrow.

This kind senior could only be seen at Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding.

Su Mu thought that at the wedding, it was Bai Wanting and Allen who would be the center of attention.

As just a groomsman, Xuanxuan’s aunt probably wouldn’t have the time to "care" about him, right?

"Will you and your uncle and aunt see off your aunt tomorrow morning?"

"If it’s not convenient, I can visit your family another time."

Xuanxuan had said her aunt’s visit was unexpected, and Xuanxuan hadn’t known in advance.

Therefore, when Xuanxuan mentioned inviting him to her house tomorrow night, Su Mu thought there might be a change of plans.

If Xuanxuan was too embarrassed to say so, then it was better for Su Mu to bring it up himself.

In Su Mu’s eyes, visiting his girlfriend’s parents was not such an urgent matter.

Changing the date was simply a triviality.

"No need, my aunt came with a driver. They will leave by themselves early in the morning tomorrow and don’t need my parents and me to see them off."

Upon seeing Su Mu’s WeChat message, Jiang Xinxuan who had been lying down, suddenly sat up.

She hastily replied to Su Mu’s message, as she didn’t want Su Mu to change the agreed plan because of her aunt’s arrival.

Although it seemed like a small thing to Su Mu,

to Jiang Xinxuan, it meant something very different.

Besides, Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt truly didn’t need an escort.

She had come directly from Huangtong City with a driver; how could she possibly need Jiang Xinxuan and her family to see her off?

Jiang Xinxuan’s parents were already aware of Su Mu’s visit the next day.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that her mother might be so excited she wouldn’t sleep well all night and would start preparing early in the morning.

If they were to tell their parents now that Su Mu needed to change the time,

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know what her parents might think.

"Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Su Mu didn’t realize that his girlfriend was feeling extremely anxious right now.

Since Xuanxuan’s aunt didn’t need them to drive her, Su Mu no longer had to consider these matters.

"Alright, you should rest early, good night."

As if afraid that Su Mu would change his mind, Jiang Xinxuan immediately bade good night after receiving her boyfriend’s affirmative reply.

This Jiang Xinxuan was so different from the one who had always wanted Su Mu to talk with her a bit longer in the past.

"Good night."

Su Mu thought his girlfriend wanted to rest because of the shopping planned for the next day, plus, even if they didn’t need to drive Bai Wanting and the others,

since they had to leave in the morning, Xuanxuan would definitely need to get up early.

Su Mu didn’t think much about it; if his girlfriend wanted to rest, she should rest, and indeed, it was getting late.

There were a few avatars with red dots, and Su Mu noticed that Four Eyes’ avatar had the number three on it.

It seemed that Four Eyes had sent him three WeChat messages.

Without opening them, Su Mu knew that the messages from Four Eyes would definitely be about Li Minli.

Indeed

"Su Mu, are you asleep?"

"Su Mu, I’m so excited I can’t sleep right now, guess what good thing happened to me?"

These two messages were sent one after the other, probably because Su Mu hadn’t responded for a long time.

Half an hour later, another message from Four Eyes came through.

"Su Mu, you aren’t really asleep, are you? Let me tell you, Li Minli agreed to go on a date with me, I’ve asked Li Minli to watch a movie with me tomorrow."

Su Mu glanced at the time; it had been over twenty minutes since Four Eyes sent the third message.

All together, nearly an hour had passed.

Su Mu wasn’t sure if Four Eyes was still waiting for a reply from him at this point.

But considering Four Eyes’ excited state, he was probably too restless to sleep, right?

Su Mu felt he should send a message anyway, after all, this was Four Eyes’ first official date with a girl.

As a friend, Su Mu felt he should encourage his brother.

"Good sign, seize the opportunity."

A simple sentence, Su Mu couldn’t possibly give Four Eyes a step-by-step tutorial on dating.

"Su Mu, you finally responded to my WeChat, if you hadn’t replied, I was about to message Jiang Xinxuan to find you."

No sooner had Su Mu sent his message than Four Eyes replied immediately.

It looked like Su Mu’s guess was spot on, Four Eyes really was too excited to sleep.

You should know, after returning from Yude High School, Four Eyes had been engaging in "talks of love" with Li Minli.

Four Eyes thought that it might be Li Minli sensing his sincerity, finally agreeing to meet up with Four Eyes to increase their actual understanding of each other.

However, because Li Minli’s schoolwork was still very pressing recently.

Li Minli had only agreed to watch a movie with Four Eyes.

Li Minli had made it clear beforehand that after watching the movie, she needed to go home to study.

For Li Minli, watching a movie was equivalent to giving herself some relaxation.

After all, continuous high-intensity studying was very exhausting.

An occasional rest was greatly beneficial to improving study efficiency.

Four Eyes, of course, agreed without any hesitation.

With a beginning, there might be further developments; even if Four Eyes wasn’t the sharpest, he wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip away.
