Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 428 - 427 Habit

"Xiao Yu, bring over the paper and pen,"

The shop owner immediately understood upon hearing Su Mu’s words that Mr. Su was buying such expensive tea sets to give to his girlfriend’s family.

There was no need to ask further; it was surely meant for the girlfriend’s father.

Generally, women don’t really have an interest in tea brewing and such.

Moreover, the shop owner had also noticed the shopping bag in Su Mu’s hand.

"Harmony Jade Jewelry"

The shop owner knew, seeing how Mr. Su was holding the item so effortlessly, that it must not have been cheap.

Just by looking at Mr. Su’s spending this time, the shop owner could be sure that the item in Mr. Su’s hand was also very valuable.

Naturally, jewelry is meant to be given to the girlfriend’s mother.

With this deduction, the shop owner’s admiration for Su Mu began to overflow.

Visiting the girlfriend’s house just once, and he was prepared to give such valuable gifts.

Just how high could Mr. Su’s net worth be?

Ordinary people visiting their girlfriend’s house would bring gifts worth a few thousand yuan at most, and that was already considered very generous.

Of course, for wealthy families, spending tens of thousands of yuan on gifts would not be a big deal.

But now Mr. Su was clearly not playing at the level of just a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan.

Based on the complete set of tea sets that Su Mu had bought, the shop owner conservatively estimated that the gifts Mr. Su was sending were probably worth several million yuan.

If the jade piece in Mr. Su’s hand was even more expensive, then tens of millions were also very likely.

After all, the reputation of Harmony Jade Jewelry was well-established. freewebnoveℓ.com

There really were jade pieces worth hundreds of thousands, even millions of yuan there.

The shop owner knew that as long as Harmony Jade Jewelry had such expensive jade, this Mr. Su would indeed dare to buy it.

To know, the tea set that Mr. Su had chosen in his shop was also the most expensive one.

"Boss, here are the paper and pen."

While the shop owner was busy with his thoughts, the employee brought over the paper and pen.

Since it was the owner himself who had been serving the handsome man and beautiful woman, the employee wasn’t quite sure how to address them.

Moreover, the owner had not said whether the paper and pen were for the customers, so the employee could only hand them over to their boss.

"Miss, why don’t you sit down on the sofa over there to write?"

The shop owner hadn’t intended to let the employees entertain the distinguished guests. After taking the paper and pen, he made a dismissive gesture with his hand, and the employee went back to work.

Turning his head to Jiang Xinxuan, the shop owner’s demeanor took a 180-degree turn.

Mr. Su had asked the lady to write down the specific address, so naturally, the shop owner was also following Mr. Su’s wishes and asking the lady to go ahead.

"No need, just give it to me,"

Just writing down an address, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to move over to the sofa.

"Of course, here you go."

Handing over the paper and pen, the shop owner remembered that Mr. Su had mentioned delivering them to the Yulong Lake Villa area.

The shop owner knew that Mr. Su’s girlfriend’s social status was not ordinary either.

In Huadong City, aside from the wealthy area on the seaside hills, it seems that the people in the Yulong Lake Villa area were the wealthiest, right?

Looking at Mr. Su, he likely did not live in the Yulong Lake Villa area.

Otherwise, Mr. Su would not be unclear about his own girlfriend’s specific address.

Even if the Yulong Lake Villa area was large, if both were living there and were in a relationship, such basic information would definitely be known.

Could it be that Mr. Su lived in the wealthy area on the hills?

Another bold speculation arose in the shop owner’s mind.

But he didn’t dare to ask directly to confirm his thoughts, so the shop owner just had to keep it to himself.

"All right."

Jiang Xinxuan’s handwriting was not the flamboyant cursive script but very delicate and pretty small characters.

Jiang Xinxuan handed over a piece of paper with her home’s specific house number and her own telephone number to the shop owner.

"Okay, please be assured, the two of you, I will arrange it immediately."

"I guarantee that I will deliver the items to this address within half an hour."

The shop owner understood that since the gift was from Mr. Su to his girlfriend’s father.

And seeing Mr. Su was also carrying another gift, it seemed that Mr. Su was planning to visit his girlfriend’s house today.

Therefore, the gift for the elder couldn’t be too late.

The shop owner felt he should let Mr. Su see his efficiency.

"That’s settled, then."

Half an hour was something Su Mu found acceptable.

Su Mu also understood that delivering from Wanda Plaza to Yulong Lake Villa would indeed be quite the rush in half an hour.

So Su Mu didn’t urge the owner to hurry any further.

"Xuanxuan, let’s go."

Su Mu still remembered his girlfriend mentioning that her mother liked carnations.

Having chosen the gifts, it was only natural to bring a bouquet of flowers as well.

"Sure."

Jiang Xinxuan was as obedient as ever; as soon as Su Mu said it was time to go, Jiang Xinxuan’s little hand found its way back to Su Mu’s arm.

It was only because she needed to write the address that Jiang Xinxuan had taken her hand off Su Mu’s arm just before.

Now that they were leaving, Jiang Xinxuan naturally resumed her habit of holding her boyfriend’s arm.

Jiang Xinxuan had always felt a sense of security when she held onto Su Mu’s arm.

What kind of security it was, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t quite able to articulate.

"Please take your time, I will promptly arrange for the tea set to be delivered."

Seeing the esteemed customers preparing to leave, the shop owner escorted Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan to the door.

The owner had wanted to say more, but seeing that Mr. Su didn’t seem very interested,

he naturally understood that there was a significant gap between himself and Mr. Su and felt too embarrassed to force a further connection.

The shop owner thought his most important task was to ensure the tea set was delivered to Yulong Lake Villa within half an hour, so Mr. Su could see he was a man of his word.

Su Mu wasn’t going to consider the shop owner’s inner thoughts.

After all, he was just a passerby; if Su Mu spent his time on people who had no relation to him, then he was really just making trouble for himself out of nothing.

"Su Mu, are we going straight to my house?"

The jade bracelet had already been purchased, now lightly held by Su Mu.

What was initially planned as just buying some tea leaves ended up being the purchase of a whole tea set.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that these two gifts were indeed sufficiently weighty, and there was no need to keep shopping for anything else.

Since no more gifts were needed, of course, Jiang Xinxuan thought it was time to head back with Su Mu.

Taking into account the time they had spent coming to Wanda Plaza, shopping, and purchasing the two gifts,

and then the travel from Wanda Plaza to Yulong Lake Villa, Jiang Xinxuan believed that her mother should have finished all preparations at home, right?

At this time, returning home with Su Mu wouldn’t be considered too early.

Moreover, Jiang Xinxuan’s father didn’t go to the office today as Su Mu was coming over.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that even if her mother was still busy, her father would be there to welcome Su Mu.

"That should do it, now let’s pick out some carnations," Su Mu said.

Even though he had only bought two gifts—one for each of Jiang Xinxuan’s parents—it wasn’t about the number of presents.

What mattered to Su Mu was the quality of the gifts, not their quantity.

Su Mu knew that for his first visit to Xuanxuan’s home, bringing these two presents would be sufficient.

If it were about the number of gifts, the two presents he chose could easily equate in value to hundreds of others.

He guessed that if he were to do so, no matter how large the villa at Yulong Lake, they would struggle to find space for them all.

Of course, Su Mu would never do something that trivial.

All that mattered was that the thought and face were given, and then it would be time to call it a day.

But at the outset, Xuanxuan had mentioned her mother liked carnations.

Su Mu thought it would be nice to bring along a bouquet of carnations for his girlfriend’s mother.

No matter their age, women always seemed to love fresh flowers.

This was something Su Mu had often noticed with his own mother.

Su Mu remembered that during the ordinary life he had been kept ignorant of for eighteen years, his dad would bring his mom flowers every week—always different kinds.

As his dad used to say, different flowers have different messages, and it wouldn’t do to always give the same kind.

That would make the gesture seem uninspired and lacking in romance.

Back then, Su Mu would even discuss it behind his mother’s back with his dad, complaining that given their family’s financial status, it seemed like such a waste for his dad to buy a bunch of purposeless flowers every week.

His dad had only offered him a knowing smile in response and lightly tossed him the words, "You’re still young, you don’t understand women."

It made the younger Su Mu believe for a time that his mother couldn’t live without her flowers.

Later on, Su Mu finally realized their family was in no way short on money.

His mom loved flowers because his dad could well afford them.

However, Su Mu also came to understand that flowers weren’t just for young girls.

Women of his mother’s age loved them just as much.

Possibly because beautiful flowers can bring about a lovely mood.

So, Su Mu wasn’t surprised at all when Xuanxuan mentioned her mother liked carnations.

Since his girlfriend’s mother liked them, why not bring a bunch?

It wasn’t going to be much trouble.

"Are you really going to buy flowers?"

Jiang Xinxuan’s suggestion to buy flowers was initially because her mom had reminded her.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that if Su Mu were to buy carnations for her mother, he wouldn’t have to spend much.

Of course, it was also true that Jiang Xinxuan’s mother liked carnations.

One thing was certain, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t lie to Su Mu.

Now, seeing that Su Mu had already purchased two gifts worth tens of millions, Jiang Xinxuan felt it didn’t really matter whether he bought the carnations or not.

In her eyes, buying the carnations now seemed to have lost its initial significance.

Su Mu had spent far more than Jiang Xinxuan had anticipated, and it hadn’t bothered him in the least.

"Of course, didn’t you say your mother likes carnations? Bringing a bunch would surely make your aunt happy, wouldn’t it?"

Su Mu felt he wasn’t joking around at all. Why did it seem like Xuanxuan didn’t quite believe him?

"I’m not kidding."

Since his girlfriend seemed skeptical, it was better for Su Mu to clarify.

"I didn’t mean it that way, I just felt that you’ve already bought such an expensive gift, there’s no need to specifically buy carnations,"

Jiang Xinxuan certainly knew Su Mu wasn’t joking.

A bouquet of carnations, no matter how expensive, can’t be that costly.

Su Mu wasn’t short of money either, otherwise he wouldn’t have casually given a gift worth tens of millions.

It was different from the couple they had just parted ways with at the Yu Yuan Jewelry store.

Su Mu didn’t buy that expensive gift because his girlfriend demanded it.

It was simply because Su Mu could afford it, so he chose something of that caliber.

It’s what’s commonly referred to as ’different strokes for different folks.’

"Anyway, it will take some time for the tea set shop owner to deliver the goods to your place, so let’s go pick out some flowers,"

Su Mu knew that even if the shop owner was quick, there still had to be time for packaging, loading, unloading, and assembling.

Su Mu certainly didn’t want to arrive at his girlfriend’s house before the gift.

Choosing a bouquet of carnations was partly because Xuanxuan had said her mother liked them.

On the other hand, it also conveniently filled the time needed for the tea set shop owner to deliver.

"That’s true, let’s go to the first floor then. I know of a flower shop there with very beautiful flowers; I’ve bought flowers from there to give to my mother a few times,"

Upon hearing Su Mu’s words, Jiang Xinxuan also felt that what Su Mu said made a lot of sense.

If she and Su Mu went back now, they would definitely arrive much faster than the delivery personnel arranged by the tea set shop owner.

Jiang Xinxuan understood that Su Mu didn’t want to arrive before the gift.

Since her boyfriend had his own plans, Jiang Xinxuan has always been a very considerate and sensible girlfriend.

Of course, she would support her boyfriend’s decision.

Linking arms with Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu headed straight for the elevator.

Because Xuanxuan said the flower shop on the first floor was good, Su Mu was spared the trouble of choosing a flower shop.

The mall wasn’t crowded at this time, and when Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan walked into the elevator, they didn’t encounter anyone else.

It was very spacious. Su Mu pressed the button for the first floor, and the elevator went down from the third floor to the first.

"Su Mu, that’s the one,"

Long before they got close to the flower shop, Jiang Xinxuan excitedly pointed it out to Su Mu.

Maybe it was seeing the beautiful flowers that made Jiang Xinxuan so happy at that moment.

Or perhaps another reason was that after buying the carnations, Su Mu was going to her house to meet her parents.

Jiang Xinxuan felt this was a milestone where her relationship with Su Mu was advancing further.

It was of significant importance.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that after Su Mu visited her home today, their relationship would be set in stone with the Jiang family.

Even if Jiang Xinxuan were to come home late because of some "unexpected" events in the future,

She guessed her parents wouldn’t say much.

After all, she vaguely felt her mother already knew something about her last late return.

If her mother knew, then her father would certainly know as well.

It was just that her father didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask her directly, Jiang Xinxuan was very clear about that.

Now that Su Mu was willing to meet her parents, Jiang Xinxuan understood that her mother could be relieved.

Although she and Su Mu were only dating now, and hadn’t established any other type of relationship,

Su Mu’s actions today at least showed his attitude.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her parents should be able to appreciate that.
