Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 434 - 433 Responsible

Bai Mingyun felt that accepting the gift from Su Mu was also a form of politeness.

However, looking at the generous way Su Mu gave gifts,

Bai Mingyun thought that if Su Mu brought such expensive gifts every time he visited,

even though her family really did not intend to use their daughter to climb up the social ladder of the Su Family,

other people might still think her family was coveting the Su Family’s wealth, right?

So, Bai Mingyun felt she should still have a talk with Su Mu in advance.

Otherwise, if Su Mu brought another expensive gift next time he visited,

Bai Mingyun truly didn’t know what she would do.

To not accept it would be to lose face for Su Mu.

If, because of this, Su Mu stopped coming to visit, not to mention Xuanxuan, Bai Mingyun herself would feel responsible.

But if she accepted the gifts every time, Bai Mingyun could not bring herself to do such a thing either.

Confronted with his girlfriend’s serious-looking mother, Su Mu didn’t know how to respond.

Su Mu had never really thought about his future visits to Xuanxuan’s home.

For Su Mu, this time it was because Xuanxuan’s parents had never met him,

and after all, he was already dating Xuanxuan and had been quite intimate with her.

From any perspective, it was proper for Su Mu to visit his girlfriend’s parents.

However, Su Mu had never considered what her mother had mentioned about future visits.

Su Mu was at a loss for words for a moment.

He certainly couldn’t bluntly say, "I have never thought about future visits," could he?

Unless someone had absolutely no emotional intelligence.

Normally, a person wouldn’t say such a thing.

Of course, Su Mu was even less likely to utter those words,

even if that was what he truly thought.

"Of course, Auntie really loves the flowers you brought," she added.

"These are the most beautiful flowers Auntie has ever received."

"Su Mu, if you’re willing, Auntie would be very happy if you brought a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers next time you visit."

Seeing that Su Mu did not express his opinion, Bai Mingyun misunderstood that Su Mu felt awkward about visiting empty-handed in the future.

Bai Mingyun quickly added that comment.

"Mom, aren’t the flowers I brought also beautiful?"

Jiang Xinxuan playfully protested, lightening the atmosphere considerably.

Su Mu no longer had to answer that question.

He might not visit again for a while, so Su Mu felt there was no need to debate this topic with Xuanxuan’s mother now.

"You’re in on everything, kid," Bai Mingyun said to Xuanxuan on the surface, but internally she was grateful for Xuanxuan’s very timely interjection.

The three of them stopped dwelling on the issue of gifts.

"By the way, Mom, where’s Dad? Didn’t he say he wouldn’t be going to the company today?"

Jiang Xinxuan belatedly realized that she and Su Mu had been home for a while but had not seen her father. Was it possible that her father thought they would be out shopping for gifts for some time and went back to the company to deal with work?

Jiang Xinxuan knew that today’s visit from Su Mu was reported to her parents rather late.

Jiang Xinxuan’s father even held his morning meeting via video conference.

She felt somewhat embarrassed about this.

Her actions had not given her parents any time to prepare.

Jiang Xinxuan remembered that before she left the house, her father was still at home.

Moreover, her father had clearly stated that he wouldn’t be going to the company today and would stay at home waiting for Su Mu to come.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan felt a small sense of disappointment that she didn’t see her father at this time.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her father’s absence didn’t seem very respectful to Su Mu.

Even though Su Mu was a junior member of the family, after all, it was his first visit to their home.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, both her parents should have been at home.

If the hosts weren’t present, then what was the point of inviting someone over as a guest?

Stealing a glance at Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Mu’s expression was normal, and he did not seem unhappy about her father’s absence at all.

In fact, Su Mu was very composed.

He knew that Xuanxuan’s father also owned a company, and the company was not small in scale.

Watching his own parents busy themselves everyday, Su Mu understood that running a company wasn’t easy.

Just like the huge Su Family company, even though they employed many high-salaried and highly talented individuals,

his parents were still so busy that they didn’t even have time to come home for meals.

Therefore, even if Xuanxuan’s father wasn’t at home today, Su Mu didn’t find it surprising at all.

To outsiders, the head of a company seems so lofty,

and very capable of making money.

But Su Mu knew that effort yields rewards.

The seemingly glamorous company heads also put in an amount of energy that ordinary people can’t imagine.

So, Su Mu was very understanding and of course didn’t find it inappropriate that Xuanxuan’s father wasn’t at home waiting for him.

Su Mu knew that it was Xuanxuan’s parents who wanted to meet him.

If there wasn’t a special situation, Su Mu believed that Xuanxuan’s father would definitely return by midday.

As for now, lunchtime hadn’t arrived yet, and Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry to see his girlfriend’s father.

Su Mu had heard from Xuanxuan later that her father attended the Su Family’s celebration banquet.

It was only because Su Mu and his girlfriend’s father didn’t recognize each other,

and Xuanxuan went to Huangtong City due to Bai Wanting’s matter and did not attend the Su Family banquet,

that Su Mu naturally didn’t recognize his girlfriend’s father.

As for whether Xuanxuan’s father recognized him, Su Mu couldn’t guarantee that.

That night, because Su Mu was the Su Family’s young master and it was essentially his first official appearance,

naturally, Su Mu was definitely the main character of the evening.

Therefore, his girlfriend’s father should have taken notice of him.

Also, because at that time Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan’s relationship was not known to her father,

there was no interaction between Su Mu and Xuanxuan’s father that night.

Seeing her daughter clearly downhearted, Bai Mingyun smiled.

This girl hadn’t even married Su Mu yet, so why were all her thoughts on Su Mu’s side?

Was she already feeling apologetic to Su Mu simply because her husband had not shown up on time?

Bai Mingyun thought her daughter was not considering.

Today, it was her and her husband who had wholeheartedly invited Su Mu over.

The Jiang Family also attached great importance to Su Mu’s first visit to their home.

How could Jiang Maohua possibly not be at home?

To say that Jiang Maohua had not appeared in the living room at this point,

Bai Mingyun felt that Su Mu should take most of the "responsibility."

Because it was the tea set gifted by Su Mu that had "trapped" Jiang Maohua in the study.

He smiled. If Su Mu weren’t around, Bai Mingyun would have actually liked to tease his daughter a bit.

But it seemed like it wasn’t the right time for jokes.

Bai Mingyun thought that her husband had specifically waited at home, even conducting important company meetings via video call.

It was all to give Su Mu the impression that the Jiang Family took his visit very seriously.

Bai Mingyun knew that if she played around with her daughter at this moment and delayed telling her that her husband was actually at home,

it would somewhat be a case of missing the forest for the trees.

Of course, Bai Mingyun wouldn’t do such a thing.

There would be plenty of other opportunities to tease her daughter.

But Su Mu’s visits to their home might not be as frequent, especially since this was his first time.

The first impression was, of course, very important.

Once they got to know each other better, and Su Mu visited again, Bai Mingyun knew that her husband wouldn’t always be waiting at home.

So, since the Jiang Family was demonstrating such sincerity this time, Bai Mingyun certainly hoped that Su Mu could see that.

"Your dad is in the study."

"He really loved the tea set you gave him so much that, as soon as the craftsman finished setting it up, your dad couldn’t wait to start brewing."

"Your dad even said that he must properly use the tea set and tea leaves you brought to brew a pot of good tea, and invite Su Mu to appreciate his tea-brewing skills."

Bai Mingyun, after all, was a career woman who often followed in Jiang Maohua’s footsteps.

Her words were always carefully chosen.

On one hand, her statement highlighted Jiang Maohua’s appreciation for the gift Su Mu had brought.

On the other hand, it explained why her husband hadn’t appeared for so long. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

It wasn’t that Jiang Maohua didn’t care about Su Mu’s visit.

On the contrary, he took it very seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought about brewing tea personally for Su Mu.

No matter what, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were dating.

By seniority, Su Mu was definitely a junior to Jiang Maohua.

An elder personally brewing tea for a younger person is a clear sign of the elder’s respect and affection.

"Your dad should be almost done; shall I go call him?"

Bai Mingyun stood up. Judging by the time, her husband’s tea should have been ready, right?

As for whether it was actually ready, Bai Mingyun wasn’t too sure.

After all, Bai Mingyun didn’t know much about brewing tea.

She wasn’t very interested in drinking tea, either.

Only when she was in a good mood would Bai Mingyun occasionally deign to join her husband for a cup of tea and enjoy their quiet time together.

Bai Mingyun just felt that Su Mu had been there for some time already.

She had already put on the jade bracelet Su Mu had sent.

Even Xuanxuan had noticed that her father was not around.

By now, Bai Mingyun thought that her husband should stop brewing tea in the study; it was starting to seem a bit inhospitable.

Although Bai Mingyun had already explained that her husband was brewing tea to welcome Su Mu,

the fact was that this was Su Mu’s first visit to the Jiang Family.

As the head of the Jiang Family, it was essential for Jiang Maohua to make an appearance.

"Mom, wait a moment,"

Seeing her mother about to head toward the study,

Jiang Xinxuan knew her mother was about to call someone and quickly called out to stop her. Turning to Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan gave him a radiant smile.

"Su Mu, why don’t we go to the study together?"

"Mom said that Dad made the tea especially for you, so let’s go together to the study. If Dad’s tea is really ready, it’ll be a good chance for you to see my father’s tea-making skills," Jiang Xinxuan felt that since Dad was making tea for Su Mu in the study.

It would be better for her and Su Mu to go to the study together.

If Dad’s tea was indeed ready, it couldn’t be expected to be served out, could it?

Besides, Jiang Xinxuan also wanted to see her father make tea.

You have to understand, although Jiang Maohua liked to drink tea,

He had never really thought about buying a set of tea utensils to brew it himself at home.

Today, Su Mu’s gift had enlightened Jiang Maohua.

It turned out that having a set of tea utensils in the study was quite atmospheric.

When the delivery workers finished assembling the tea set, Jiang Maohua felt that his study had gone up a notch.

"Alright."

Upon receiving an invitation from his girlfriend, Su Mu also stood up.

"Then let’s go see how your father’s tea turns out," he said.

Seeing Xuanxuan and Su Mu both stand up, Bai Mingyun felt even more satisfied with her future son-in-law.

It was better for the three of them to go to her husband’s study together than for Bai Mingyun to call her husband out.

Although Bai Mingyun said it was Jiang Maohua making tea for Su Mu,

Just the thought of Jiang Maohua actually bringing out the tea for Su Mu to drink was pleasantly submissive.

You have to realize that Su Mu wasn’t visiting the Jiang Family as the young master of the Su Family.

Now, Su Mu was there as Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend, having accepted an invitation from his girlfriend’s parents to their home.

So it’s the same saying, there’s a notion of seniority.

Bai Mingyun walked in front, followed by Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan.

Since her relationship with Su Mu was now public, Jiang Xinxuan no longer avoided any intimacy in front of her mother.

Arm in arm with Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan leaned on him as they walked towards her father’s study.

Jiang Maohua’s study was on the first floor of the villa, not too far from the living room.

After walking for a while, Bai Mingyun stopped in front of a closed door.

Su Mu knew that this must be Xuanxuan’s father’s study.

Observing the thick door, Su Mu understood.

No wonder he, Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan’s mom had talked for so long in the living room.

Xuanxuan’s father, who was in the study, had no reaction at all.

Probably the study’s soundproofing was too effective that Xuanxuan’s father simply didn’t hear the noise outside the study.

Su Mu knew that this must be because his girlfriend’s father, who usually worked in the study, didn’t want to be disturbed by the outside world.

"Knock, knock"

Despite being the mistress of the house, Bai Mingyun did not just push the door open and walk in.

Polite as ever, she knocked twice and waited at the door for a response.

Su Mu watched his girlfriend’s mother, who looked completely natural.

Then glancing at Xuanxuan, he noticed that she showed no sign of surprise either.

Su Mu then understood that this was also a way the Jiang Family members interacted with each other.

"Come in."

A deep and composed baritone voice came out, very serene.

Su Mu carefully recalled if he had ever heard this voice during the Su Family’s celebration banquet.

It meant that night, Su Mu truly had not met Xuanxuan’s father.

Not even for a moment of small talk.
