Chapter 430: Chapter 429 No Intentional Obstruction
Su Mu thought to himself that the carnations Xuanxuan was holding were indeed quite beautiful.
It reminded him of his own mother, who was a woman who loved flowers.
Su Mu figured this was a good opportunity to get a bunch of carnations for his own mother as well.
And pink carnations were after all very suitable for gifting to mothers.
Su Mu went ahead and asked the flower shop owner to wrap up another bunch.
Su Family Corporation, Bai Xiuping?
Jiang Xinxuan’s face couldn’t help but blush.
She was being ridiculously jealous for no reason.
Su Mu was getting flowers for Aunt Bai, and here she was, jealous even of her boyfriend’s mother?
Jiang Xinxuan silently felt relieved, grateful she hadn’t said anything just then, nor let any displeasure show on her face.
Otherwise, she would have been embarrassingly exposed today.
She might even leave a bad impression on Su Mu, making him think she was an unreasonable girl who got jealous over nothing.
Raising the bouquet in her hands a bit higher, Jiang Xinxuan tried to cover up her now flushed cheeks.
"Su Family Corporation?"
The exclamatory tone of the flower shop owner was a saving grace for Jiang Xinxuan.
Because of the sudden increase in the owner’s volume, Su Mu didn’t notice his girlfriend’s untimely blushing and what it was all about.
"Is there a problem?"
The tone of the flower shop owner was one of surprise, without a hint of confusion.
Given the influence of the Su Family Corporation in Huadong City, Su Mu knew that the flower shop owner was definitely aware of it.
Not to say he would understand a lot, but at least he knew.
But what Su Mu didn’t understand was why the flower shop owner was so excited.
Could it be he was reluctant to deliver because it was too far?
That shouldn’t be the case, since the Su Family Corporation was located right in the center of Huadong City.
Just now, the shop owner had also said that delivery was possible to anywhere in the city center.
That’s why Su Mu had said to wrap up another bunch and send it to the Su Family Corporation.
If the flower shop owner had stated at the start that he couldn’t make the delivery, Su Mu wouldn’t have even mentioned it.
"No, no problem."
"May I ask Mr. Su, is this for Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation?"
The flower shop owner was so surprised because he was truly shocked.
After all, the story of Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping from the Su Family Corporation was widely known among young girls.
Especially Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation, an idol for many young girls.
They aspired to become a powerful woman just like Director Bai.
The young owner felt that although she was currently running a flower shop,
as long as she managed it heartfeltly, she could possibly open a chain of flower shops someday.
There was even a chance she could become known as the Flower Queen.
So, the owner expressed such surprise when she heard the handsome man was sending flowers to Bai Xiuping of the Su Family Corporation.
Because the handsome man had mentioned the name Su Mu a moment ago.
The flower shop owner naturally came to know the handsome man’s name.
Su Mu, Su Family Corporation, sending to Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation.
The flower shop owner felt like she had understood something.
Could it be that this handsome man was related to the Su Family Corporation, perhaps even to Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation?
"Yes, it’s for Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation."
Su Mu nodded; it seemed the florist had gotten the information right.
"Can you deliver?"
Su Mu didn’t want to know why the florist was so surprised.
He just wanted to know if delivery was possible.
Glancing at his wristwatch, Su Mu didn’t want to waste more time on buying flowers.
If the florist couldn’t deliver, Su Mu wouldn’t insist.
There were plenty of flower shops, and Su Mu thought he could just pick some up from any shop on his way back in the afternoon.
"Yes, of course, it’s just that I’m not sure if the security at Su Family Corporation would let me in."
The young florist had many thoughts running through her mind.
The young lady had a faint feeling that the handsome Mr. Su in front of her must have some connection with Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation.
It was just because she wasn’t acquainted with the handsome guy.
To be exact, the young lady and the handsome guy were meeting for the first time.
And the guy was just there to buy flowers; they weren’t on familiar terms at all.
The florist knew that if she rashly asked about the handsome guy’s relationship with Director Bai of the Su Family Corporation, he certainly wouldn’t be willing to answer her.
Maybe the guy would even cancel his purchase outright, not buying any flowers after all.
So, the florist asked with some tact.
Thinking about it, the Su Family Corporation was such a large company.
How could Bai Xiuping, the wife of the chairman of the Su Family Corporation, casually accept flowers from a stranger?
Unless it was someone very close to Bai Xiuping, the concerns openly expressed by the florist could very well come true.
"It’s also possible that Mr. Su’s flowers would be allowed by the security to be placed directly at the front desk, but whether I can deliver them to Director Bai’s office, I can’t guarantee."
The florist felt her concerns were quite reasonable.
Maybe the recipient would accept the flowers, but whether the delivery could be made to Director Bai’s office was uncertain.
"I’m mainly afraid that Director Bai won’t even know that Mr. Su has sent her flowers."
The more the florist spoke, the more worried she seemed.
It was as if she feared that if Bai Xiuping couldn’t personally receive the delivery, the handsome guy might blame her.
"Just deliver them, and tell the front desk they’re from Su Mu."
"With these flowers guaranteed to reach Bai Xiuping, Director Bai’s desk."
Su Mu felt the florist’s worries were really unnecessary.
Was his signature just for fun?
With his name, Su Mu, on the card, who in the Su Family Corporation would dare to intercept these flowers?
"Alright, then I’ll do as Mr. Su instructed."
Now the florist was certain that the handsome guy definitely had a very special relationship with the Su Family Corporation.
The casual tone of the handsome guy wasn’t something a normal relationship could afford.
Pink carnations, Mr. Su, Su Family Corporation?
Could the handsome guy be the son of Director Bai and Chairman Su?
At that moment, the florist’s thoughts were becoming increasingly active.
It was just a pity that nobody was there to answer her.
So she could only wildly guess to herself. freёnovelkiss.com
"How much for both?"
Seeing the WeChat payment code on the glass door of the flower shop, Su Mu took out his phone and scanned it.
For two bunches of carnations, Su Mu certainly wouldn’t use his black card to pay.
After all, his WeChat was linked to his bank card, so for such a small amount, mobile payment would do.
"One bunch of carnations is five hundred and eighty yuan, so two bunches are one thousand one hundred and sixty yuan."
"Miss Jiang is also a regular customer of our flower shop, just knock off a little, Mr. Su, and you can pay 1,100 yuan."
Because he knew the handsome guy must have a very special relationship with the Su Family Group, the flower shop owner unconsciously used an honorific title for Su Mu, who was about the same age as himself.
Knock off a little?
Su Mu shook his head inwardly, he certainly didn’t care about such a trifle.
But it seemed like the flower shop owner had forgotten to include the delivery charge, hadn’t he?
After all, Su Mu had been an ordinary person for eighteen years.
He wasn’t a young master out of touch with the mundane world.
He understood the daily life necessities, like the service charges for takeaway orders and courier services.
So, the flower shop owner hadn’t calculated everything and was still offering a discount.
One possibility was that the flower shop owner wasn’t very good at accounting.
If that was really the case, Su Mu thought that this flower shop’s profit couldn’t be too high.
After all, renting a shop in Wanda Plaza, to begin with, the rent wasn’t cheap at all.
There was another possibility, that the flower shop owner just hadn’t thought of it.
Regardless of the reason, Su Mu still paid what he should have.
"1,500, including your delivery service fee, has been paid," he said.
"There’s just one thing, you must ensure that these carnations are as fresh when they arrive at the Su Family Group."
The sun outside was still very harsh at the moment.
Su Mu feared that if the flower shop wasn’t careful and simply left the flowers under the sun to be delivered all the way to the Su Family Group.
He guessed his mother wouldn’t be in a pleasant mood when she saw the carnations.
This was the first time Su Mu was sending his mother fresh flowers, he didn’t want anything to go wrong.
It wouldn’t do for his father to mock him afterward, saying that his old man’s flower-sending was better than his own?
"Ah? Alright, alright, thank you, Mr. Su."
"Rest assured, I will deliver these carnations to the Su Family Group myself in my car."
"I guarantee that the flowers will not be exposed to any wind or sun."
The flower shop owner hadn’t expected the handsome guy to know about delivery service charges.
He had initially hoped to curry favor with the handsome guy.
The flower shop owner hadn’t expected that the handsome guy would actually overpay.
The flower shop owner also knew that the handsome guy wouldn’t care about a small sum of money.
Not to mention anything else, just the Patek Philippe diamond watch on the handsome guy’s wrist could buy a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Huadong City.
How could someone wearing a house on their wrist possibly care about a mere hundred or two hundred yuan?
The flower shop owner’s intention to ingratiate himself with the handsome guy hadn’t been achieved, he could only eagerly assure him that he would deliver the fresh flowers beautifully to the Su Family Group.
"Let’s go."
The money had been paid, the flowers were in hand, and of course, Su Mu didn’t need to waste any more time in the flower shop.
Su Mu knew that when visiting his girlfriend’s family, Xuanxuan’s parents meant to invite him over for a meal.
But undeniably, conversation was inevitable.
Su Mu had already promised Elder Su that he would accompany the old master to an auction in the afternoon, he obviously couldn’t linger at his girlfriend’s house after lunch.
So, the only time for Xuanxuan’s parents and Su Mu to communicate was before and during lunch.
Naturally, Su Mu couldn’t keep dragging his time outside either.
Of course, because Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know that Su Mu had something to do in the afternoon.
Jiang Xinxuan thought Su Mu had cleared his entire day.
So, she wasn’t in a rush to urge Su Mu to come to her house.
Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu hadn’t intentionally delayed anything.
After arriving at Wanda Plaza, Su Mu had been continuously selecting gifts for his parents.
How could Jiang Xinxuan possibly think that her boyfriend, Su Mu, was wasting time when he was being so attentive?
Thinking to herself, Jiang Xinxuan felt that even if she and Su Mu hurried back for the lunchtime meal, there would be no problem at all.
Her own parents wanted to get to know Su Mu, and there would be plenty of time after lunch.
Jiang Xinxuan knew that when her parents said they were inviting Su Mu to their home for lunch, they meant it.
But if Su Mu was willing to stay at Jiang family’s home and leave only after dinner, Jiang Xinxuan’s parents would undoubtedly be overjoyed.
Jiang Xinxuan had heard from her father that he wouldn’t be going to the office at all that day.
The implication was clear, her father had cleared his schedule to entertain Su Mu.
"Okay."
The bouquet was large, but it was not heavy.
Carrying the flowers in her right hand, Jiang Xinxuan looped her left arm through Su Mu’s.
Su Mu had already grown accustomed to Xuanxuan holding his arm like this as they walked, and together they headed straight for the elevator hall of Wanda Plaza.
"Mr. Su, Miss Jiang, take your time, and welcome back next time."
"Mr. Su, I’ll wrap up the flowers right away and have them sent to Su Group, ensuring that Director Bai will receive the fresh flowers at the earliest opportunity."
The sincere call of the flower shop owner did not elicit a turn of the head from Su Mu or Jiang Xinxuan.
Both felt that the transaction for the flowers had now come to an end.
There was no need to respond since the owner’s promise had already been given.
They took the elevator directly from the first floor to the parking lot.
Jiang Xinxuan carefully placed the flowers in the Ferrari.
The carnations were a gift from Su Mu to her mother, and she did not want them to suffer even the slightest damage due to her carelessness or anything else.
Su Mu took his seat in the car before his girlfriend.
After Xuanxuan was seated and had fastened her seatbelt, Su Mu started the car and drove out of Wanda Plaza parking lot.
"Su Mu, you don’t have anything this afternoon, do you?"
On the road, casual conversation ensued between the young couple.
Although Jiang Xinxuan guessed this was the case, she had not confirmed it with Su Mu.
She felt it was better to ask first.
If Su Mu actually had something to do in the afternoon and she was unaware,
she feared she might unintentionally make things awkward if her parents wanted to keep Su Mu for dinner.
Of course, Jiang Xinxuan hoped in her heart that Su Mu would give her a positive answer.
Su Mu was not currently involved in the Su Group’s business.
And the university had not started yet.
In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, Su Mu should be free today.
Ironically, it just so happened that early in the morning Elder Su had arranged with his beloved grandson for the afternoon.
In Elder Su’s opinion, Xiao Mu visiting his girlfriend’s home wouldn’t mean staying there the whole day.
After all, it was his first time visiting her home, and showing moderation was the proper etiquette.
Therefore, Elder Su saw no problem with Xiao Mu accompanying him to an auction in the afternoon.
Of course, Elder Su had first consulted his grandson before bringing up the auction,
and only after confirming that Xiao Mu had no other important matters for the day, aside from visiting his girlfriend’s home, did Elder Su mention the auction.
Thus, today’s events weren’t a deliberate obstruction by Elder Su to prevent Xiao Mu from spending more time at the Jiang family’s home.
It was purely coincidental.
"This afternoon, Grandpa asked me to accompany him to an auction."
Su Mu had not considered staying at his girlfriend’s home for the whole day, so he spoke frankly.
In Su Mu’s opinion, after all, it wasn’t his home, so he certainly wouldn’t be as at ease staying at his girlfriend’s home.
