Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 440 - 439: A Big Question Mark

Bai Mingyun is probably fixated on what gift Xuanxuan should bring when she goes to meet Su Mu’s parents, right?

Jiang Maohua internally agrees with his daughter’s words, as Su Mu hasn’t even mentioned formally introducing Xuanxuan to his parents yet.

Is Bai Mingyun already skipping ahead to the step of choosing a gift?

Moreover, judging by Bai Mingyun and Xuanxuan’s behavior, it’s apparent that Xuanxuan isn’t in much of a hurry, whereas Bai Mingyun looks as if she can hardly wait to buy the gift immediately.

Isn’t this like the eunuchs being more anxious than the emperor himself?

Of course, Jiang Maohua wouldn’t actually voice this thought out loud.

Jiang Maohua knows that at this time it’s better not to provoke his wife.

Jiang Maohua understands his wife and knows that Bai Mingyun is straight-talking.

"Aren’t you usually very smart? Why do you seem clueless at this crucial moment?"

Seeing Xuanxuan furrowing her brow, indicating she didn’t know how to urge Su Mu, Bai Mingyun couldn’t help but gently tap her daughter on the forehead with her hand.

Xuanxuan is an academic ace and not a bookworm, so why is she so slow to catch on to these social niceties?

Bai Mingyun wanted Xuanxuan to nudge Su Mu, but not for Xuanxuan to actually directly ask him to do so.

Bai Mingyun also knew that Xuanxuan couldn’t possibly say to Su Mu directly, "Su Mu, please formally introduce me to your parents."

For such matters, Bai Mingyun knew it was better for the boy to bring it up on his own side.

It was like Su Mu’s visit to the Jiang Family today.

It had been through Xuanxuan’s invitation at the suggestion of Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua.

It wasn’t that Su Mu had come uninvited.

Therefore, for Xuanxuan to visit Su Mu’s parents,

it would have to be either at Su Mu’s suggestion or at the invitation of Su Mu’s parents.

Bai Mingyun felt that Xuanxuan had already met Su Mu’s parents at the bell-ringing ceremony for Su Corporation’s listing on the stock exchange.

Now, it’s been a while since Su Corporation’s bell-ringing listing.

But there has been no formal invitation from Su Mu’s parents for Xuanxuan to visit their home, or for a meeting of any sort.

Probably Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping either felt that since they had already met Xuanxuan, there was no need to dwell on it,

or the two of them were so busy that they simply pushed this minor issue to the back of their minds.

In any case, Bai Mingyun felt that waiting for Su Mu’s parents to remember to formally invite Xuanxuan for a visit wasn’t going to be easy.

Since it was unlikely that Su Mu’s parents would take the initiative to bring up the matter anytime soon,

the only possibility left was Su Mu himself.

And, as Su Mu’s girlfriend, Bai Mingyun felt it was more convenient for her daughter to discuss these things with Su Mu.

Of course, it had to be done in a different manner, not by directly asking outright.

"Xuanxuan, mom isn’t asking you to directly question Su Mu about when he’s going to take you home to formally meet his parents."

"You could start by asking Su Mu what kind of gifts his parents like."

"Then, you could have Su Mu help you prepare these gifts in advance; that way, Su Mu will understand that you want to meet his parents."

"On the other hand, when Su Mu’s parents have time, you won’t have to rush to pick out gifts and such."

Bai Mingyun shared her thoughts.

Bai Mingyun felt that if Xuanxuan started by picking out gifts, at the very least, it would show a kind of commitment.

This would indicate that today’s invitation to Su Mu to visit the Jiang Family really wasn’t about Su Mu’s gifts.

The Jiang Family was interested in Su Mu as a person, not the Su Family’s wealth.

Of course, Su Mu’s status certainly was a bonus, and that was something that couldn’t be ignored.

"Alright, I’ll talk to him about it when Su Mu has time," she said.

Even though her own mother made it sound so simple, Jiang Xinxuan still found it somewhat difficult to actually bring it up with Su Mu.

After all, she was urging Su Mu to take her to pick out gifts for his father and mother.

Even if Jiang Xinxuan would be paying for the gifts, she always felt like Su Mu had not mentioned taking her to formally meet his parents.

And here she was, mentioning preparing gifts prematurely.

It sounded very strange to her ears.

It was as if she was rushing Su Mu to take her to meet his parents.

Of course, that’s exactly what Jiang Xinxuan’s mother meant.

But Jiang Xinxuan felt inside that it wasn’t very nice.

She could only verbally agree.

Jiang Xinxuan was afraid that if she didn’t accept her mother’s suggestion, her mother would keep nagging her about it.

Jiang Xinxuan also understood that her mother wanted to return the favor of the big gift that Su Mu had presented as soon as possible.

Bai Mingyun was in such a rush, in large part because the gift from Su Mu was indeed too valuable.

Bai Mingyun felt that only if her daughter also gave a gift of comparable value to Su Mu’s parents would people not think the Jiang Family was coveting the Su Family’s wealth.

This was the status of the Su Family.

Even the wealthy Jiang Family, despite their daughter dating Su Mu under normal circumstances, had to consider the gap between their family and the Su Family.

They also had to take into account the thoughts of others around them.

Thinking back, such a situation would have never occurred in the Jiang Family.

"Alright, alright, we just met Su Mu for the first time today, isn’t it a bit too hasty for Xinxuan to pick out gifts for Su Mu’s parents?"

"Let’s wait a while and see. Maybe Su Mu already has plans, right?"

Seeing the troubled expression on his daughter’s face, Jiang Maohua knew Xinxuan did not want to rush Su Mu so soon.

Of course, Jiang Maohua also knew that his wife was in such a hurry for Xinxuan’s sake.

But some things really can’t be rushed.

The more you hurry, the more likely you are to mishandle things.

Seeing that Bai Mingyun and her daughter were standing still at the doorway of the villa because of this discussion,

Jiang Maohua stepped forward, placed one hand on his wife’s shoulder, and wrapped the other around his daughter’s shoulder, walking toward the villa’s main gate.

"Why aren’t you two at all anxious? It’s as if I’m the one who’s meeting the future in-laws."

Interrupted by her husband like this, Bai Mingyun mumbled a complaint in dissatisfaction.

Bai Mingyun had noticed the hint of discomfort on Xinxuan’s face all along.

It’s just that she thought it was because Xinxuan was shy, and coupled with her own impatience, she simply ignored her daughter’s slight discomfort.

Now that her husband had put it this way, Bai Mingyun felt as if she was the only one in a fuss, urging things on, while the father and daughter duo seemed leisurely about it.

Bai Mingyun realized that Xinxuan’s discomfort wasn’t just because she was shy but because she really did not want to press Su Mu.

Bai Mingyun deeply felt that her daughter was a bit too dependent on Su Mu.

Su Mu had no idea that after he left, such a little episode had taken place at his girlfriend’s home.

However, Jiang Maohua was not quite right about one thing.

Su Mu hadn’t actually thought about bringing Xuanxuan to meet his parents yet.

In Su Mu’s view, Xuanxuan had already met his parents.

Didn’t Su Mu take Xuanxuan with him to the bell-ringing ceremony for Su Corporation’s IPO?

Su Mu still remembered being very enthusiastic about Xuanxuan at that time.

They had quite a long conversation.

Even though his dad was too busy to talk much with Xuanxuan,

Su Mu thought that was perfectly normal.

After all, his dad was a man, and it wasn’t possible for him to be too enthusiastic about his son’s girlfriend.

In any case, with his mom showing warmth and affection toward Xuanxuan, that should have sufficed.

So, the step of formally introducing Xuanxuan to his parents was something Su Mu had inadvertently overlooked.

The possibility of Su Mu already having plans, as Jiang Maohua comforted his wife with, was something that was not likely to happen.

But with Jiang Maohua’s words, Bai Mingyun also stopped giving her daughter any more advice.

Since Su Mu had gone back, Jiang Maohua quickly tidied up and went to the company as well.

Jiang Xinxuan stayed at home with her mother.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu wouldn’t have time to text or call her in the afternoon.

Thinking about her aunt who had returned to Huangtong City with her cousin and Allen, they must have gotten home by now.

Fearing her brother might be displeased to see Allen again, Bai Mingyun made a call to her sister-in-law.

When Bai Mingyun heard that everything had gone well, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, did Uncle not lose his temper?"

Jiang Xinxuan, sitting next to her mom, could also make out a bit of the conversation.

However, since Bai Mingyun didn’t have the speakerphone on, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t very clear about what her aunt had said on the other end of the phone.

Listening to what her mom and aunt discussed, Jiang Xinxuan felt that her uncle had truly accepted Allen.

"Allen really should be thankful to Su Mu,"

Bai Mingyun didn’t directly answer her daughter’s question but made this remark instead.

"For the matter of my cousin’s wedding dress, Allen indeed should be thankful to Su Mu,"

"But what does that have to do with Uncle? Did Uncle also find out about the wedding dress?"

Jiang Xinxuan thought her cousin hadn’t had time to talk about the wedding dress with her uncle.

After all, taking wedding photos and such things shouldn’t be important to her uncle.

Jiang Xinxuan believed that men of her uncle’s age wouldn’t be concerned with these matters.

So when she heard her mom say that Allen should thank Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan was still quite perplexed.

Jiang Xinxuan had no idea how her cousin would bring up the wedding dress to her uncle.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, when her aunt, cousin, and Allen returned to Huangtong City, they should have discussed the wedding with her uncle right away,

not some matters that weren’t so critical to the wedding.

Of course, the wedding dress was very important for Bai Wanting and Allen.

But Jiang Xinxuan felt that her uncle wouldn’t consider it very important.

"Even if Uncle knew that the wedding dress was a gift from Su Mu, shouldn’t that be unrelated to my cousin’s wedding dress?"

"Mom, stop speaking in riddles. What is uncle’s actual attitude?"

Jiang Xinxuan knew that verbally, her uncle had already agreed to her cousin’s marriage with Allen.

However, Jiang Xinxuan wanted to know if her uncle had reluctantly agreed or if he had truly accepted Allen.

After all, the difference in attitude would indicate whether her uncle had truly accepted Allen in his heart.

From the interactions with Allen in these past few days, Jiang Xinxuan could tell that Allen really loved her cousin deeply.

Deep down, Jiang Xinxuan naturally hoped that her uncle had genuinely accepted Allen.

That way, Jiang Xinxuan felt that her cousin’s marriage to Allen would be filled with a greater sense of happiness.

After all, everyone hopes their marriage can have the support and blessings of their family.

Jiang Xinxuan was anxious to know her uncle’s attitude, so naturally, she was frustrated with her mother’s evasive responses.

"You child, why can’t you keep your composure?"

"You can’t show this kind of demeanor in front of Su Mu’s parents; it’s not proper at all."

Bai Mingyun glared at her daughter, whose anxiety was written all over her face.

Bai Mingyun felt her daughter used to be quite composed, but now it seemed as if she had regressed. Why was that?

It could only be said that Bai Mingyun’s expectations for her daughter were now based on her being a future daughter-in-law of the Su Family.

Of course, these expectations had become much stricter.

It was just that Bai Mingyun might not have realized this herself; one might say it was a sort of subconscious ideology.

Ever since she knew Xuanxuan was dating Su Corporation’s young master Su Mu, Bai Mingyun’s mind had already started to develop this awareness.

"Mom, what does that have to do with Su Mu’s parents?"

"We’re talking about uncle’s true attitude towards my cousin and Allen’s marriage right now."

Jiang Xinxuan was somewhat unhappy with her mother linking everything to Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that she was only concerned about her cousin and Allen, so why did it turn into her being impatient in her mother’s view?

Moreover, her mother even brought this up in relation to Su Mu’s parents, making Jiang Xinxuan feel like her mother was slightly obsessed.

"How is it not related? With your impatient demeanor, it won’t be good if Su Mu’s mother notices this."

Bai Mingyun did not think she was exaggerating.

The so-called elegance a woman should have must be inherent.

Bai Mingyun naturally believed her daughter should always maintain the demeanor befitting a lady of her status.

"All right, all right, Mom, I understand."

"What exactly did Auntie say? Did uncle truly agree? When Allen visited uncle’s home, did uncle give him a hard time?"

Not wanting to dwell on matters that were mere speculations, Jiang Xinxuan verbally agreed to let it go.

"Haven’t I already told you? Allen really should be thankful to Su Mu this time."

Bai Mingyun looked seriously at her daughter. How come her daughter was still asking the same question when she had already given an answer?

A huge question mark hung in Jiang Xinxuan’s mind.

Why did it all come back to Su Mu again?

Jiang Xinxuan felt almost bewildered.

But with the recent lesson learned, Jiang Xinxuan dared not press her mother for an answer.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that if she appeared overly anxious again, her mother would certainly use Su Mu’s parents to press her once more.
