Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 442 - 441 The King’s Way
Chapter 442: Chapter 441 The King’s Way
"On my way driving back, Grandpa asked me to accompany him to an auction this afternoon,"
For Su Mu, who possessed Champion Driving Skill, driving with one hand was a piece of cake.
But when Bai Xiuping heard her son was driving, she still reminded him.
"Xiao Mu, then you should focus on driving, and Mom won’t chat with you anymore,"
Bai Xiuping still wanted to ask what auction Grandpa was attending in the afternoon.
Because Bai Xiuping didn’t hear anything from Grandpa when she was at home, she was quite curious.
But thinking of her son driving, chatting and getting distracted was not safe.
So Bai Xiuping put away her curiosity.
Bai Xiuping deeply felt that letting Xiao Mu know about his real identity earlier was very beneficial.
Wasn’t Xiao Mu accompanying Grandpa to the auction this afternoon the best proof?
If at this time Xiao Mu still didn’t know his true identity,
then Grandpa would surely have to go out alone with Ah Fook this afternoon.
How could he then enjoy the warmth of having his grandson accompany him?
Bai Xiuping also knew that Xiao Mu would practice Tai Chi with Grandpa every morning.
Bai Xiuping had talked about this with her husband too.
Bai Xiuping and Su Ruizhi were so busy with company matters, they simply couldn’t spare that much time to accompany Grandpa.
Originally, both of them felt very guilty about this.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mu moved back to the castle and fulfilled this filial duty.
For Xiao Mu’s actions, both Bai Xiuping and Su Ruizhi were very comforted.
Because it was something Xiao Mu wanted to do out of his own heart to show filial piety to Grandpa,
not because Bai Xiuping or Su Ruizhi had asked him to do so.
Of course, it was even more precious because of that.
"Got it Mom, if you and Dad have time tonight, try to come home early. Grandpa has mentioned you guys several times,"
"Mom, money can’t be earned to an end, you and Dad should also take it easy,"
Su Mu truly felt that his parents were working too hard.
Thinking about it, it seemed that he hadn’t had dinner with his parents for quite a while now.
Of course, Su Mu didn’t want to be too sentimental, so he mentioned that Grandpa had mentioned it several times.
In fact, Su Mu also didn’t want his parents to be so busy.
"Got it, I’ll tell Grandpa when I get back that Dad and I will eat at home tonight,"
Bai Xiuping and her husband had just returned to the Su Family Group after being busy outside.
Originally, there were piles of documents waiting for Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping to review at the company.
But after hearing what Xiao Mu said, Bai Xiuping felt that the company’s matters could wait until tomorrow.
Bai Xiuping also realized that she and her husband had been neglecting Xiao Mu a lot recently.
After sending the voice message, Bai Xiuping looked at the pile of documents on her desk,
Stood up, and Bai Xiuping decided to skip work with her husband.
With Su Family Group being such a large company, there were always endless documents to review every day.
Bai Xiuping decided that today she was going to coax her husband into being truant bosses with her.
After all, even if those documents weren’t completed today, Su Family Group would still operate as usual tomorrow.
...
Su Mu didn’t expect that by just sending a bouquet of flowers, Mom decided to come home for dinner with Dad tonight.
Could a bouquet of flowers really make Mom stop being a strong, independent woman?
Su Mu found out that today he really did something absolutely right.
Feeling exceedingly cheerful, Su Mu began humming a tune along with the music.
After all, Su Mu’s car was already on the spacious mountain road.
At this hour, there were very few cars on the mountain road.
Because those living in the mountains were all magnates, presumably they were all busy making money in their companies at this time.
Just like Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping were.
Su Mu pressed down harder on the accelerator, and the black Ferrari 812 shot out like an agile panther.
Su Mu had initially planned to race straight back to the castle.
However, before he even reached the middle of the mountain, a familiar red Ferrari came into view, heading in the opposite direction.
As for the red Ferrari, Su Mu was extremely familiar with it.
It was He Qiya’s favorite car, after all.
Su Mu noticed that since he had known He Qiya, she had always driven this red Ferrari and had never seen her switch to a different car.
Su Mu figured this must have been because He Qiya was particularly fond of this red Ferrari.
Otherwise, with the He Family’s wealth, He Qiya didn’t need to stick to the same car at all.
Because the He Family could definitely afford other cars.
Even if He Qiya had several cars priced similarly to the Ferrari 59, it wouldn’t have been anything unusual.
Just like Su Mu, although his favorite was still the black Ferrari 812 he was currently driving.
But depending on his mood, Su Mu would sometimes drive other cars as well.
In the castle’s garage, there were, in fact, several cars parked that belonged exclusively to Su Mu.
Su Mu had no intention of slowing down.
Su Mu figured that He Qiya wasn’t waiting for him today.
Because unlike the usual spots where He Qiya would park and wait for him at familiar intersections.
Today, He Qiya seemed intent on driving down the mountain.
Since it was merely a chance encounter, Su Mu felt there was no need to stop or anything of the sort.
Although there was the incident with Four Eyes seeking help at Xinghuan Entertainment.
He Qiya’s enthusiastic assistance had indeed improved Su Mu’s impression of her quite a bit.
Now, Su Mu didn’t just think of He Qiya because of Aunt Qin and his mother’s requests.
Su Mu indeed considered He Qiya as a friend now.
It’s just that they weren’t particularly close just yet.
Therefore, in cases like this coincidental meeting, Su Mu didn’t feel the need to make any particular gesture.
When the two cars passed each other, a simple exchanged glance would suffice as a greeting.
Su Mu didn’t slow down and continued driving determinedly towards the mountain top.
As for He Qiya, who kept Su Mu and everything related to him etched firmly in her heart,
she recognized the black Ferrari as Su Mu’s the moment it came into her vision.
To say that He Qiya wasn’t excited would be impossible.
And just as Su Mu had guessed, He Qiya wasn’t there on the mountain road waiting specifically for Su Mu today.
He Qiya had a significant matter to attend to today.
The matter was immensely important to her.
He Qiya even felt it could potentially affect her happiness for the rest of her life.
Just moments ago, He Qiya had received a phone call from her father.
It turned out that the matter of He Qiya wanting to attend university in the same city as Su Mu had already been taken care of by He Yuguang.
Over the phone, He Yuguang simply asked He Qiya to sign a few documents at Xinghuan Entertainment.
Some were concerning He Qiya’s withdrawal from her studies abroad.
The most important of course was the university admission material for Wudong City University that He Yuguang helped his daughter obtain.
He Qiya did not participate in the national college entrance examination.
Therefore, it was impossible for He Qiya to gain admittance into top universities like Z University or S University.
Even with He Yuguang’s extensive connections, some things were simply not possible.
Fortunately, He Qiya was aware of these critical considerations.
From the start, He Qiya never harbored lofty aspirations to attend the same university as Su Mu.
For He Qiya, the sheer luck of being able to attend a university in the same city as Su Mu was enough.
Luckily, He Qiya was adept at being born the right way, as the daughter of He Yuguang, so this small wish of hers wasn’t too difficult to fulfill.
Knowing that He Qiya wanted to go to university in Wudong City because of Su Mu,
Huang Yuqin and He Yuguang were both wholeheartedly supportive of their daughter.
Therefore, in the matter of finding a university for his daughter, He Yuguang could be said to be very proactive.
Even He Qiya herself hadn’t anticipated that in such a short span of time, all her enrollment procedures would be handled.
You must know, universities hadn’t even started their official admissions process yet.
He Qiya’s admission was equivalent to being internally sourced.
Undoubtedly, the procedures followed were far from conventional.
When He Qiya received a phone call from her father, she simply changed clothes and was ready to leave the house.
Because Huang Yuqin thought her daughter was going to the company.
As the heiress of Xinghuan Entertainment, how could she show up at the company without any makeup?
Otherwise, wouldn’t Huang Yuqin’s earlier efforts be in vain?
Huang Yuqin stopped the anxious He Qiya from leaving, finally convincing her to put on a bit of makeup.
Now, seeing Su Mu’s black Ferrari, He Qiya felt a surge of gratitude towards her mother.
At the time when her mother had held her back, insisting she at least put on some light makeup before leaving,
He Qiya had felt somewhat resistant.
He Qiya felt that compared to her university admissions, makeup was a trivial matter.
Moreover, He Qiya hadn’t anticipated meeting Su Mu that day.
So, of course, she felt that whether or not she wore makeup didn’t really matter.
He Qiya had never been fond of makeup in the past.
It was only during that time when He Qiya invited Su Mu to celebrate her eighteenth birthday with her that she put on makeup.
And then there were the two instances when she visited Xinghuan Entertainment.
Of course, both were related to Su Mu.
Today, although He Qiya’s ultimate purpose for going to Xinghuan Entertainment was also because of Su Mu,
deep down she knew that it was impossible for Su Mu to appear at Xinghuan Entertainment that day.
Therefore, He Qiya was very inclined to refuse her mother’s kind gesture.
Only because Huang Yuqin was so insistent did He Qiya acquiesce.
Recently, He Qiya’s relationship with her mother had softened a lot because of Su Mu.
Otherwise, no matter how persistent her mother was, He Qiya wouldn’t have paid her any heed today.
He Qiya opened the rearview mirror and took a glance at her own face.
Quite vibrant.
With that, He Qiya was reassured.
In the past, it didn’t seem to matter, but now He Qiya felt as if she could not dare to face Su Mu without makeup.
Even though He Qiya’s bare face was very beautiful,
because she cared too much about her image in Su Mu’s heart, He Qiya was no longer so easy-going.
Women beautify themselves for those who appreciate them, and this has always been an axiom from ancient times to the present.
He Qiya slowed down her car.
He Qiya felt that she and Su Mu were so fated today that she should certainly tell Su Mu about her imminent university life in Wudong City.
This way, she would also give Su Mu some mental preparation.
Su Mu knew that He Qiya had always been studying abroad.
As for He Qiya’s plans to study in a domestic university, Su Mu was completely unaware. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
In fact, not just Su Mu, apart from the He Family, probably no one would have imagined that He Qiya would give up her studies abroad to return to a domestic university.
After all, this contradicted the initial intentions of Huang Yuqin when she sent He Qiya abroad.
Moreover, apart from a few close people, most were unaware that the change in He Qiya’s temperament was because she went abroad to study alone.
Everyone just thought it was a case of teenage rebellion.
If it wasn’t for Huang Yuqin seeing He Qiya’s unusual attitude towards Su Mu, she probably wouldn’t have mentioned He Qiya’s condition to the Su Family.
Even if Bai Xiuping is Huang Yuqin’s good friend.
But as the saying goes, "don’t air your dirty linen in public," and this is even more pertinent for high society.
Huang Yuqin telling Bai Xiuping about He Qiya’s situation was actually a bit of a gamble.
In Huang Yuqin’s view, Su Mu might be her daughter’s only hope to return to normalcy.
Luckily for Huang Yuqin, her gamble paid off – thanks to Su Mu, He Qiya indeed started to seem more and more like a normal girl.
...
He Qiya had actually intended to stop the car.
He Qiya knew that her car was headed directly towards Su Mu’s, so naturally, he could see her.
But seeing that Su Mu’s car didn’t slow down, He Qiya guessed that the likelihood of Su Mu stopping to talk to her was pretty slim.
After a brief contemplation, He Qiya slammed on the brakes, dramatically reducing the speed of the red Ferrari.
However, the red Ferrari didn’t come to an immediate halt.
After slowing down, He Qiya sharply turned the steering wheel, sending the red Ferrari in a complete turn towards the top of the mountain.
Naturally, Su Mu noticed all the red Ferrari’s maneuvers.
He didn’t have much choice given that, from his driving perspective, He Qiya’s car was right in front of him – he would find it difficult not to see it even if he wanted to.
Moreover, Su Mu considered He Qiya a friend from the bottom of his heart; there was no question of him not wanting to see her.
However, Su Mu just found it a bit strange.
Based on He Qiya’s initial driving route,
it was clear that she was going down the mountain.
Now that she saw him, she headed towards the mountain top again. Could it be she wanted to have a car race with him?
Su Mu shook his head in his mind, dismissing this thought.
Because after He Qiya turned her car around, she didn’t increase her speed at all.
With the speed at which He Qiya was driving, Su Mu could even describe it as snail’s pace.
Su Mu didn’t know what exactly He Qiya was planning to do.
But this did not affect his driving.
Su Mu didn’t continue to accelerate because, after reaching the mountain roads, his speed had been very fast already, with no need to speed up further.
Of course, he had no intention of slowing down either.
Unclear of He Qiya’s exact intentions, Su Mu didn’t want to speculate.
Continuing on his own path was the right way to go.
The red Ferrari didn’t drive at low speed for too long.
Seeing the black Ferrari catching up, with one press of the gas pedal, the red Ferrari picked up speed,
but not to overtake the black Ferrari, instead maintaining side-by-side alignment.
