Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 433 - 432 The First and Last Time

But if Su Mu said he would never come again if his mom didn’t accept gifts, then he truly meant it.

Jiang Xinxuan still felt somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that, given Su Mu’s character, he really might do as he said.

After all, it was Su Mu’s first visit to her house, and if her own mother refused to accept his gift,

it must have been quite an unpleasant feeling for Su Mu.

Though it wasn’t exactly disrespectful, Su Mu would definitely feel he had lost face, and that was certain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxuan grew anxious.

It wasn’t like her family couldn’t afford to spend ten million on a gift to reciprocate to Su Mu’s parents in the future.

Jiang Xinxuan thought her mother should have already considered all of this from the beginning, right?

Why was she now stalling?

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want Su Mu to feel unhappy during his first visit to her home.

"Mom, Su Mu selected this especially for you, just open it and take a look," she said.

Jiang Xinxuan surreptitiously tugged at the hem of her mother’s clothes, signaling her not to be so rigid. freёnovelkiss.com

She understood Su Mu’s temperament well.

He had carefully picked out a gift for her mother, yet her mother wanted to refuse without even taking a glance because she felt it was too valuable.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that her mother was afraid the Su Family would think that the Jiang Family was trying to latch onto the Su’s due to their social status.

What a pity, Jiang Xinxuan knew that her mother wanted to show that the Jiang Family wasn’t trying to use their daughter to climb up to the Su Family,

and that they hadn’t invited Su Mu over just to accept gifts from him.

However, Jiang Xinxuan noticed that her mother was, perhaps, overexerting herself, giving off an impression of being somewhat insensitive to social niceties.

Being tugged by her daughter like this, Bai Mingyun realized her own mistake.

She hastily stopped her hand, which had been shaking in a gesture of refusal.

"Since Su Mu has brought it with such sincerity, and since he picked it out himself, then I will accept it," she said.

"Su Mu, please sit down," she added.

Having received the gift bag from Su Mu’s hand, Bai Mingyun hastily invited him to sit.

Because of the gift-giving and the refusal to accept gifts, Su Mu and the other two had been standing the whole time.

Bai Mingyun felt she was indeed a bit off her game today.

She had not even taken notice of this most basic principle of hospitality.

"All right, Auntie," replied Su Mu.

Having given his gift, Su Mu casually sat down.

For Su Mu, although it was his first time visiting his girlfriend’s home,

he didn’t feel the slightest bit constrained.

"Mom, hurry and open it to see," urged Jiang Xinxuan, trying to dissipate the awkwardness.

She persuaded her mother to open the box from Yu Yuan Jewelry Store.

"This, Su Mu, this jade bracelet is so beautiful, it must be very expensive, right?" Bai Mingyun exclaimed as she opened the box and was instantly captivated by the alluring green jade bracelet.

As an enthusiast with a considerable understanding of jade,

Bai Mingyun didn’t need to see the receipt to know that the bracelet Su Mu presented was much more valuable than the tea set in her husband’s study.

It was not just a little more valuable.

By Bai Mingyun’s estimation, the price of the bracelet was likely about double that of the tea set.

Nevertheless, since Bai Mingyun had already agreed to accept Su Mu’s gift before opening the box,

even knowing the bracelet in hand was valuable, it would be impossible for her to express that she couldn’t accept it.

Who is Su Mu?

The young master of the Su Family Group.

Bai Mingyun knew that the gift worth millions was nothing to Su Mu.

The Jiang Family was not ordinary either, and it wasn’t that they couldn’t accept such gifts.

Still, Bai Mingyun only wanted to avoid giving the impression to the Su Family that she was so eager to invite Su Mu over just for the gifts.

Considering the length of Su Mu and Xuanxuan’s relationship,

Bai Mingyun felt it was indeed too early to invite Su Mu to their home.

After all, most young people nowadays treat dating like playing a game.

If the mood strikes right, they date, and who knows, they might break up just because of one wrong glance on any given day.

If one has to meet the parents after not dating for very long, that really does add quite a bit of trouble to most young people’s lives.

Bai Mingyun’s eagerness to meet Su Mu was really because she already had a rough idea about the incident of Xuanxuan coming home late that night.

After all, Xuanxuan’s behavior that night was quite apparent.

At least as someone who has been through it, Bai Mingyun could tell at a glance what sort of "good deed" her daughter had done.

Bai Mingyun thought that the relationship between her daughter and Su Mu had already reached the point where what had to happen had happened.

As Xuanxuan’s mother, wanting to meet Su Mu should be quite normal, right?

Fortunately, Su Mu did not make excuses and agreed very readily to come to the house.

This let Bai Mingyun relax a little the heart that had been hanging on a thread.

Bai Mingyun feared that Su Mu would refuse to come, which, in her view, would be an indication of his attitude.

If Su Mu was unwilling to meet his girlfriend’s parents, it meant that Xuanxuan was not yet of significant importance in Su Mu’s heart.

Of course, the current outcome was what Bai Mingyun hoped to see the most.

Now, Bai Mingyun was no longer troubled about how expensive the gifts Su Mu gave were.

In any case, it had already exceeded her expected price range.

Bai Mingyun now felt that since the gifts were from Su Mu, they also represented the importance he placed on Xuanxuan.

If Su Mu didn’t care about Xuanxuan, why would he spend so much money on gifts for her and her husband?

Even if Su Mu was very wealthy, he wouldn’t spend tens of millions on an unimportant person, right?

Bai Mingyun was very confident about the relationship between her daughter and Su Mu.

Bai Mingyun knew that she must happily accept the gifts Su Mu gave her.

As for the concerns she had, they could wait until Xuanxuan went to meet Su Mu’s parents to give something back in return.

In fact, Bai Mingyun was really overthinking it.

Not to mention that Su Mu’s parents wouldn’t even care about such trivial matters.

If Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping knew that their son had given tens of millions worth of gifts to his girlfriend’s parents,

Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping probably wouldn’t even blink.

To spend a little money on two gifts – Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping might even say that Su Mu had given too little.

Of course, if the positions were reversed and it was Xuanxuan giving gifts to Su Mu’s parents,

Bai Mingyun wouldn’t care about a ten million yuan gift either.

Because Bai Mingyun knew the Su Family’s standards were very high.

If the gift was too insubstantial, they might not even take it seriously.

Of course, this was mainly an issue of status.

The Su Family’s strength needs no further explanation.

Not comparing to the Su Family, the Jiang Family in Huadong City was also quite remarkable.

It was only because they were up against the even more powerful Su Family Group that Bai Mingyun seemed a bit timid.

"Mom, Su Mu said that as long as you like it, that’s all that matters. As for the price, you really shouldn’t ask."

Jiang Xinxuan’s thoughts were now completely on Su Mu’s side.

Seeing that her own mother had accepted Su Mu’s gift,

Jiang Xinxuan was also very happy.

Regarding the price of the jade bracelet, which her mother had asked about unconsciously, Jiang Xinxuan felt that mentioning it outright would seem rather vulgar.

Besides, the invoice for the jade bracelet was in the gift box bag.

After Su Mu left in the afternoon, Jiang Xinxuan planned to remind her mother to keep the invoice safe.

Such a valuable item’s maintenance might require the invoice or similar documents in the future.

This important thing certainly couldn’t just be carelessly thrown away.

Jiang Xinxuan understood her boyfriend quite well.

Su Mu had not considered the price issue when buying the jade bracelet.

So how could he mention it at this time?

Her own mother had already praised it so much, was it really necessary for Su Mu to show off again, saying that the jade bracelet was indeed very expensive?

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu would never do such a thing.

So, without waiting for Su Mu to answer, Jiang Xinxuan preempted her mother’s question.

"Mom, try it on and see, does the size of the jade bracelet fit?"

When buying it, Jiang Xinxuan had mentioned her mother’s wrist size.

Because she often accompanied her mother to buy such jewelry, Jiang Xinxuan was familiar with her mother’s sizes.

Su Mu just stood by and smiled.

Was this not supposed to be a woman’s moment?

Su Mu, who didn’t understand women’s jewelry, didn’t want to interrupt and say anything.

"I could tell at a glance it was very suitable. Xuanxuan, did you tell the jewelry store clerk about mom’s wrist size?"

Without much thought, Bai Mingyun knew for sure that this was her daughter’s doing.

Although Su Mu had said that he chose it, implying it had nothing to do with Xuanxuan,

jade bracelets like this, with their fixed shape and no place to adjust size,

often require the jewelry store clerks to measure the customer’s size first and then bring out the corresponding model to fit.

"No, Mom, this jade bracelet is the only one at the Yu Yuan Jewelry Store of this price range."

"Even if I wanted to tell them, there was no choice available."

"It’s just that this jade bracelet is fated for you, fitting your size perfectly."

What Jiang Xinxuan said was essentially the truth.

Indeed, the Yu Yuan Jewelry Store had only this one model of jade bracelet in this price range.

When Su Mu decided to buy it, even the jewelry store clerk felt it was fated.

If Jiang Xinxuan’s mother’s wrist wasn’t this size, even if Su Mu wanted to buy this most expensive jade bracelet, it would have been of no use.

Buying a jade bracelet that Xuanxuan’s mother couldn’t wear wouldn’t make sense,

just as buying a medium-sized shirt for someone who wears size large.

Even if the shirt is expensive and branded, what’s the use if it doesn’t fit?

It would only serve as a nice-looking piece of fabric with no practical value.

"Mom, please try it on."

Seeing that her mother was only holding it, Jiang Xinxuan urged impatiently.

Jiang Xinxuan just didn’t want her mother to delve into why the jade bracelet so coincidentally fit perfectly.

After all, talking too much might give things away.

Jiang Xinxuan had made up his mind to completely dissociate himself from the purchase of the gift with Su Mu.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan would never admit that Su Mu buying this jade bracelet also owed something to his own contribution.

Of course, this contribution would not be praised by Jiang Xinxuan’s mother anyway.

"You child, what’s the rush?"

Bai Mingyun glared at her daughter.

Why was Xuanxuan urging her to try on the jade bracelet that Su Mu had just given her in front of him?

Bai Mingyun had only met Su Mu for the first time today.

Rushing to wear the jade bracelet Su Mu had given her, Bai Mingyun worried Su Mu might have some other thoughts.

"Auntie, why don’t you try it on, I’m also picking these for the first time; I’m not sure if it’s suitable."

Picking up on the SOS signal from his girlfriend, Su Mu also spoke up to encourage her.

"You two kids."

Bai Mingyun could glare at her own daughter.

But of course, she couldn’t possibly do that to Su Mu.

"Alright, seeing how eager you both look, I’ll give it a try."

Bai Mingyun had taken a liking to the jade bracelet at first sight.

It was just that trying it on directly in front of Su Mu seemed a little too hasty.

Now that she saw Su Mu and Xuanxuan both persuading her, Bai Mingyun was no longer insistent.

In Bai Mingyun’s mind, as long as nothing unexpected happened, Su Mu should be her son-in-law.

Given that her future son-in-law’s gift, which was also a very thoughtful one, Bai Mingyun felt a hint of pride in her heart now.

She carefully placed the jade bracelet on her left wrist.

The emerald-green jade bracelet made Bai Mingyun’s fair wrist look even more dignified and imposing.

"It’s really beautiful, mom, Su Mu does have good taste, doesn’t he?"

Jiang Xinxuan’s words credited Su Mu, yet her face also bore a look wishing for her mother’s praise.

Because Jiang Xinxuan felt the jade bracelet was entirely suitable for her mother’s wrist.

This was also the fruit of a shopping trip she had with Su Mu, and Jiang Xinxuan felt she deserved some credit.

At this moment, Jiang Xinxuan seemed to have forgotten that from the beginning, she was afraid of her mother’s blame,

but always wanted to disassociate herself from this "credit."

"Mom, say something, will you? Is it pretty? Do you like it?"

Perhaps because she was in her own home, Jiang Xinxuan obviously talked much more than when she was outside.

Su Mu remembered that back in school, Jiang Xinxuan used to be the epitome of a cool girl amongst the females.

It just wasn’t possible for her to show such a girlish demeanor.

"When did you become so impatient? You don’t want Su Mu to laugh at you."

Prodding her daughter’s forehead, Bai Mingyun was in such a good mood that she wasn’t blaming Xuanxuan anymore.

Because while Bai Mingyun verbally focused on Xuanxuan, the smile on her lips and her doting tone said it all.

"It’s beautiful, of course, it’s beautiful. How could Su Mu’s carefully chosen bracelet not be beautiful?"

Considering the component of the jade bracelet, Bai Mingyun also understood the price of the bracelet.

Not to mention anything else, how could such an expensive bracelet not be beautiful?

Bai Mingyun also thought Xuanxuan was being somewhat childish, to be so eager to ask for her opinion.

"Su Mu, I will accept your gift. Thank you very much."

"Just one thing, this is the first and the last time; you must not bring such valuable gifts when you visit our home in the future."

"Otherwise, it would be too formal."
