Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 420 - 419: Don’t Want the Intent to Be So Obvious

Chapter 420: Chapter 419: Don’t Want the Intent to Be So Obvious

"Why bother talking about it, if you want to chat this late, it’s not like I have to be glued to my phone."

Regarding Four Eyes’s train of thought, Su Mu truly admired it.

It was so late, so why would Four Eyes think Su Mu would go to Jiang Xinxuan?

You know, Jiang Xinxuan isn’t Su Mu’s wife yet, and it’s even less likely for them to be living together directly.

Su Mu didn’t know where Four Eyes got such an idea from.

"I was just anxious to share with someone."

"Li Minli is someone you helped me find, so of course I wanted to share this great news with you."

Four Eyes felt wronged.

He went out of his way to tell Su Mu such important news, yet Su Mu seemed not very excited, right?

At this moment, Four Eyes was really blinded by love.

It was Four Eyes who liked Li Minli.

As for Li Minli agreeing to watch a movie with Four Eyes, the most Su Mu could feel was happiness on behalf of Four Eyes.

Where would there be any excitement?

Su Mu expressed that even watching a movie with his girlfriend isn’t anything to be excited about, let alone Four Eyes’s affairs with Li Minli.

"Have you picked the movie?"

Not wanting to get tangled up in Four Eyes’s peculiar thought process, Su Mu felt it better to ask something practical.

"I’ve chosen one, I didn’t know what type of film Li Minli liked, so I picked a blockbuster."

"Then there’s no problem, go to sleep early and don’t meet your silhouette girl with panda eyes tomorrow."

Su Mu was initially worried that Four Eyes would make a blunder in choosing the movie.

If Four Eyes followed another one of his bizarre trains of thought and picked an animated or a horror movie, for example.

Su Mu felt that if that were the case, Four Eyes would really have a hard time getting into a relationship.

Since Four Eyes’s choice was very normal now, Su Mu had no more comments to make.

"Right, how could I forget that."

"Su Mu, I won’t chat with you anymore, I’m going to sleep."

After sending a goodbye emoji, Four Eyes didn’t care whether he could sleep or not, he threw his phone aside and hid under the covers.

Considering the temperature of the air conditioner was set very low, it would be strange if this kind of behavior didn’t make Four Eyes sick.

"This temperament..."

Su Mu knew he didn’t need to respond to Four Eyes’s message at all.

He guessed that at this point, even if Four Eyes couldn’t sleep, his eyes would be tightly shut.

Su Mu had already read and replied to messages from two people important to him.

He glanced at a few other avatars.

One was He Qiya, another Xia Shuya, and one was a former high school classmate, but Su Mu had never been close to that classmate before.

Su Mu found it strange, why would an old classmate, who wasn’t very familiar and barely contacted before, be looking for him so late at night?

He clicked to find a long message.

"Hello Su Mu, I have a favor to ask of you. My dad has some business he would like to discuss with the Su Family enterprise, but since we’ve never cooperated before, my dad can’t find the appropriate person to talk to. Could you please, considering we were classmates, help us with an introduction?"

"Boring."

Su Mu found it truly baffling.

Such an abrupt message, without any clear explanation, and they expect to do business with the Su Family enterprise?

The classmate who sent the message really left no deep impression on Su Mu at all.

Su Mu knew that he probably hadn’t spoken a single word to this person throughout his three years of high school.

Because at that time, Su Mu was just a child from a regular working-class family.

So some classmates who thought their families were rich and powerful were very arrogant.

Plus, although Su Mu’s family was average, his handsome looks and academic excellence dazzled the school’s girls.

Therefore, many boys regarded Su Mu as public enemy number one.

A person who could be considered a stranger suddenly comes over asking for help, and the first thing out of their mouth is wanting to do business with the Su Family Group.

Su Mu felt this person was either too egotistical or had a problem with their brain.

He had no idea where this person got the confidence to send such a long message to him.

Without a reply, and no need for one, Su Mu directly deleted the friend.

Speaking of this WeChat friend, Su Mu remembered that it was someone’s suggestion at the time to add each other as friends among classmates.

Of course, except for Li Feifei.

Li Feifei was too obviously aiming for Su Mu, so of course, he wouldn’t add her as a friend.

At the time, Li Feifei had also sent many friend requests to Su Mu, all of which he had rejected.

Originally, Su Mu had no intention of deleting anyone.

Now that he had encountered such an oblivious person, Su Mu certainly wasn’t going to be polite.

A simple deletion was a matter of one second, and Su Mu didn’t let irrelevant people waste much of his time.

Except for glancing at that long block of text.

In the end, only He Qiya and Xia Shuya’s avatars were still lit up with red dots.

Without feeling sleepy, Su Mu clicked on He Qiya’s avatar.

"Su Mu, is there any progress between Four Eyes and Li Minli? Will you be going to the fitness center with Four Eyes anytime soon?"

He Qiya now seemed to know how to beat around the bush, understanding the principle of indirect approaches.

He Qiya knew that if she kept pestering Su Mu directly, she would definitely make him feel annoyed.

Now, He Qiya felt she was just concerned about Four Eyes’ situation, after all, it was because of Xinghuan Entertainment that Four Eyes found Li Minli.

He Qiya’s question didn’t seem too abrupt.

And by now, He Qiya had quite a good understanding of Su Mu.

She sent only one WeChat message, not rushing Su Mu for a reply, just waiting quietly.

"There’s a bit of progress, I guess, but you should ask Four Eyes about the specifics the next time you see him."

The result of Four Eyes’ movie date with Li Minli tomorrow is still unknown; as for their progress, Su Mu didn’t feel it was his place to say at the moment.

It’s better for a good friend to speak for himself, Su Mu didn’t want to say much.

"Okay then, will you be going to Super LM Fitness Center with Four Eyes tomorrow?"

One didn’t need to guess to know that He Qiya had been holding her phone, waiting for Su Mu’s reply.

The speed at which He Qiya texted back said it all.

But Su Mu’s response wasn’t what He Qiya was most concerned about.

To He Qiya, the specific progress between Four Eyes and Li Minli was irrelevant.

What He Qiya really wanted to know was whether Su Mu would go to Super LM Fitness Center tomorrow.

Of course, mentioning Four Eyes was just He Qiya’s way of not making her own intentions too obvious.

After all, they had agreed to go work out together in the future.

If He Qiya hadn’t mentioned Four Eyes, it would have seemed a bit scheming.

He Qiya’s feelings for Su Mu were both hopeful that he would know and yet afraid for him to find out.

"I have something else to do tomorrow, so I’m not going to the fitness center."

Su Mu’s schedule for tomorrow was packed full.

In the morning, he had to pick out gifts with his girlfriend, and then visit her family.

Of course, these plans were all because of the warm invitation from his girlfriend’s parents.

Otherwise, Su Mu felt that his relationship with Xuanxuan had not been going on that long.

Meeting the parents was certainly not something to rush into.

It was also because they had been a bit too... vigorous at the movie theater that day, which resulted in Xuanxuan returning home too late.

Su Mu guessed that Xuanxuan’s mother must have noticed something, which was why she was so eager to meet him.

Well, if meeting them was what it came to, Su Mu really didn’t mind, nor did he have that anxiety about meeting elders.

So, when Xuanxuan mentioned it that evening, Su Mu agreed right away.

But this was Su Mu’s private matter, of course, there was no need to share too much with He Qiya.

Thus, He Qiya didn’t know that Su Mu was going to meet his girlfriend’s parents tomorrow.

He Qiya didn’t even know that Su Mu had a girlfriend.

To Su Mu, his relationship with He Qiya just wasn’t that close, so there was no need to specifically mention that he had a girlfriend.

Su Mu thought that when it was time for He Qiya to know, she would naturally find out.

Being in a relationship was very normal, and if he brought it up deliberately, it would feel like he was showing off.

Plus, since He Qiya and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know each other at all, Su Mu naturally never mentioned his girlfriend in front of He Qiya.

As for He Qiya, it was because her mother was matchmaking her and Su Mu on her own initiative.

He Qiya thus had the impression that Su Mu didn’t have a girlfriend yet.

He Qiya felt that, with the relationship between her mother and Aunt Ping, how could her mother not know if Su Mu got a girlfriend?

So, this "beautiful misunderstanding" really arose due to a discrepancy in timing.

Without knowing that her son Su Mu already had a girlfriend, Bai Xiuping genuinely shared the same wish as Huang Yuqin to matchmake Su Mu with He Qiya.

Even then, Bai Xiuping tacitly accepted some of Huang Yuqin’s maneuvers.

Later, upon learning the truth, Bai Xiuping refrained from further matchmaking.

Bai Xiuping also subtly suggested to her good friend Huang Yuping that she should stop meddling in the young people’s affairs.

Alas, Huang Yuqin did not grasp Bai Xiuping’s intentions.

Bai Xiuping also didn’t find a suitable opportunity to clarify things with Huang Yuping.

Moreover, Bai Xiuping was genuinely very busy, so this small matter never truly weighed heavy on her heart.

The end result was what it was now, with He Qiya thinking that Su Mu didn’t have a girlfriend, while silently harboring affection for him.

Su Mu, on the other hand, simply regarded He Qiya as a sister with a different surname, without any romantic feelings between them.

A relationship shrouded in mystery thus came into being.

It seemed that among those around them, only Four Eyes was truly aware of the relationship between He Qiya and Su Mu.

But for some reasons, Four Eyes also chose to watch the situation unfold.

So, the misunderstanding continued to exist.

"So, Su Mu, you seem to always be very busy."

Knowing she had no place to pry into what exactly Su Mu would be busy with tomorrow, He Qiya had to settle for such a remark.

Of course, He Qiya hadn’t expected Su Mu to give herself an explanation.

"Hmm."

As expected, Su Mu’s response was very simple.

Although it was within He Qiya’s expectations, she still felt a sense of loss.

You should know that after He Qiya went home, she went straight to her mother and discussed her intention to attend university in Wudong City.

Of course, for such an important decision, He Qiya had to give her mom a reason.

Knowing that her mother had long seen her feelings for Su Mu,

He Qiya didn’t hide anything and told her mother all of her most genuine thoughts.

He Qiya knew that at this time, the only people who could help her were her parents.

The result, of course, was as He Qiya had expected.

Huang Yuqin not only did not oppose her daughter’s decision but actually gave it her full support.

Huang Yuqin also learned then that Su Mu was this year’s top science student.

News that Su Mu would be attending Z University in Wudong City.

Huang Yuqin was also very puzzled. With such excellent exam results, why hadn’t the Su Family released any news about it?

Even her good friend Bai Xiuping had not mentioned it to Huang Yuqin.

Could it be that to the Su Family, Su Mu’s great achievement was just an ordinary event?

Huang Yuqin couldn’t help but wonder if Su Mu’s grades were always outstanding.

So, becoming the top science student in the college entrance exam was not surprising to the Su Family.

Of course, these matters were minor now, and Huang Yuqin was certainly not going to call her good friend to inquire about Su Mu’s college entrance examination specifically.

Without any context, Huang Yuqin didn’t want to make Bai Xiuping think she was being abrupt.

After knowing her daughter’s thoughts, Huang Yuqin naturally started to call her husband and deal with school-related matters.

Because He Qiya had also looked up some school information online, she and her mother had discussed it for a long time.

Only after that did they decide to choose one of the two universities in Wudong City closest to Z University.

The work for He Qiya and Huang Yuqin ended there; what remained naturally became He Yuguang’s responsibility.

Having some free time, it took He Qiya half a day of thinking to come up with an excuse to send the WeChat message to Su Mu.

Now, seeing that Su Mu’s reply was different from what she had expected, He Qiya still felt a small sense of disappointment.

However, He Qiya, who knew Su Mu well, understood that Su Mu had no interest in this topic when she replied with just one word.

"Then remember to call me when you have time to go to the fitness center."

He Qiya herself couldn’t remember how many times she had repeated this sentence.

Any chance she got, He Qiya made sure to say it again, with the aim of reinforcing the memory in Su Mu’s mind, so that he wouldn’t forget there was someone like He Qiya.

This time, Su Mu didn’t ignore her and replied with an OK emoji.

Su Mu felt that He Qiya had been quite helpful with Four Eyes’ matter.

At first, He Qiya didn’t even know Four Eyes; in the end, He Qiya helped out because of Su Mu.

So compared to his previous attitude, Su Mu had become much more approachable.

He Qiya understood that her chat with Su Mu for this time had already ended.

"Good night."

Thinking that Su Mu probably wouldn’t put down the phone and rest immediately, He Qiya hurriedly sent another message.

Of course, He Qiya also knew that this time Su Mu wouldn’t reply to her message.
