Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 443 - 442: Guessed Wrong
Chapter 443: Chapter 442: Guessed Wrong
Su Mu turned his head and caught a glimpse of He Qiya maintaining the same position, looking back at him.
Su Mu nodded slightly, considering it a greeting to He Qiya.
Su Mu didn’t want to guess why He Qiya had changed direction, not driving down the mountain but instead following him towards the summit.
In Su Mu’s impression, He Qiya had always had a lot of free time.
Su Mu felt that whatever He Qiya needed to do was probably not urgent.
It was just that she happened to see him on the mountain road and wanted to drive up together.
Su Mu didn’t take He Qiya’s behavior to heart.
If He Qiya wanted to follow him to the summit, then let her follow.
The mountain road was quite spacious, having an extra car made no difference to Su Mu at all.
Su Mu knew that, in any case, after reaching the summit, He Qiya would obediently return.
Originally, Su Mu had not invited He Qiya to drive up to the summit with him.
When they arrived at the castle, He Qiya, who hadn’t been invited, naturally wouldn’t follow Su Mu inside.
Su Mu remembered the last time He Qiya had driven back by herself.
So, Su Mu was quite experienced with He Qiya’s actions and remained very calm.
In the Red Ferrari, He Qiya saw that Su Mu had only glanced at her and had no intention of stopping.
Initially, He Qiya thought that if their cars had been driving towards each other,
then given Su Mu’s speed of driving, the two cars would intersect for only about a second or two.
In such a short span of time, even if He Qiya asked Su Mu to stop, he might not notice.
Therefore, He Qiya turned her car around and followed Su Mu towards the summit.
Of course, He Qiya didn’t intend to follow Su Mu to the Su Family’s place.
After all, He Qiya had not received an invitation from the Su family.
As for showing up uninvited, He Qiya was not someone who would do such a thing.
He Qiya was just thinking that if she was driving in the same direction as Su Mu, he would pay more attention to her.
Maybe Su Mu would understand that she wanted to talk to him and stop the car.
Unfortunately, He Qiya really overthought it.
Su Mu didn’t have the inclination to guess the motives behind He Qiya’s sequence of actions.
For Su Mu, he was simply on his way home and encountered a friend who also enjoyed driving.
Now, the two were just driving together for a while.
It was that simple.
While driving, He Qiya turned to look at Su Mu several times.
She realized that after the initial nod from Su Mu, which acknowledged her, Su Mu had not turned his head to look at her even once.
Under such circumstances, even if He Qiya wanted to remind Su Mu that she had something to say to him, he was not getting the signal.
The black and red Ferraris drove at a decent speed.
As they neared the summit, He Qiya knew that the Su Family’s castle must also not be far.
Filled with impatience, He Qiya couldn’t possibly force Su Mu’s car to stop like she did during her fit of temper last time, right?
He Qiya knew that if she dared to do that again, Su Mu would probably not bother with her at all in the future.
And it wasn’t possible for He Qiya to follow Su Mu home, then tell him about her plans to attend university in Wudong City.
He Qiya, having no other choice, clung to her phone like a lifeline when she saw it lying to the side.
Confident in her driving skills, He Qiya gripped the steering wheel with her left hand while picking up her phone with her right and opened WeChat.
Because she was operating the phone with one hand, He Qiya used voice commands.
He Qiya certainly wasn’t worried that messaging Su Mu while he was driving would distract him.
If He Qiya was this confident in her own driving skills,
then Su Mu, who had always outperformed her on the road, would naturally be even less troubled.
Though Su Mu didn’t turn his head to glance at He Qiya’s car again,
both vehicles were heading towards the mountain top together, and Su Mu could still catch a glimpse of the striking red color beside his car from the corner of his eye.
Su Mu didn’t know how much longer He Qiya would continue following him.
As far as he was concerned, he hadn’t invited He Qiya to race or anything.
Even if they happened to run into each other, surely she shouldn’t keep following him, right?
After all, even if He Qiya had nothing better to do, based on her initial driving direction, Su Mu’s intuition was that she still had things to deal with today.
Indeed, He Qiya following him all this way wasn’t just about having free time.
Generally, He Qiya could indeed be considered a spokesperson for idleness.
But today, she had important matters to attend to.
It was only because she ran into Su Mu that He Qiya allowed herself to delay for a bit.
If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to delay He Qiya from her important tasks.
He Qiya knew that being able to attend the same university in the same city as Su Mu was closely linked to whether she could have more opportunities to be near him.
As Su Mu continued towards the mountain’s peak, he felt that He Qiya should probably be ready to turn back soon.
With no answer coming his way, Su Mu had to gauge He Qiya’s next move by the movements of the red Ferrari.
Right when Su Mu was speculating how much longer He Qiya would drive before turning around, his WeChat notification sounded on his phone.
Su Mu felt that at this time, there were only two women who might message him.
One was his mother.
Because Su Mu had just finished a WeChat conversation with his mother.
Bai Xiuping had also mentioned that she and her husband would be home for dinner tonight.
Su Mu guessed that if this message was from his mother, it was likely because she had forgotten something and sent a message to remind him again.
Of course, there was another woman who might be messaging him at this time.
That would be Jiang Xinxuan.
Su Mu was returning from his girlfriend’s house.
At this time, Jiang Xinxuan was probably estimating that Su Mu might have reached home by now, so it was possible that she would send a message to specifically inquire about him.
Regardless of which woman it was, these two were currently the closest to Su Mu.
Naturally, Su Mu wouldn’t ignore his phone.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Su Mu picked up the phone with the other.
For him, this little trick was really no big deal.
If he couldn’t handle such a simple task, the system might as well shut itself down.
Champion Driving Skill, of course, meant top-notch driving skills.
Upon opening WeChat and seeing the avatar with a little red dot, Su Mu realized that he had guessed wrong this time.
This WeChat message wasn’t sent by Su Mu’s mother, nor was it sent by Xuanxuan.
It was sent by He Qiya, who was driving right beside Su Mu.
Su Mu didn’t hurry to open WeChat, but slightly turned his head and glanced at the red Ferrari that had been closely following his car.
Su Mu just turned his head slightly.
Initially, Su Mu only intended to take a subconscious glance at He Qiya’s car.
Because Su Mu’s original guess was that He Qiya was just too free, which was why she was driving toward the top of the mountain following him.
Now, upon seeing the WeChat message from He Qiya, Su Mu felt that this time it might not be just because she was free.
Because the angle at which Su Mu turned his head wasn’t very large.
And since Su Mu had mostly just taken a quick peek at the red Ferrari and then turned his head back.
So Su Mu didn’t notice the rich expression on He Qiya’s face as she stared at Su Mu from inside the red Ferrari.
When Su Mu turned his head, He Qiya felt an immense surge of excitement inside her heart.
Even though Su Mu’s head turn was very minimal, He Qiya still noticed it.
He Qiya also knew that it must have been because of the WeChat message she sent that Su Mu made that motion.
Because the mountain road was very spacious, and besides the black and red Ferraris of Su Mu and He Qiya, there were no other vehicles on the road at the moment.
He Qiya, besides the basic three parts of her attention focused on driving and watching the road,
Had her remaining seven parts of attention on Su Mu.
He Qiya, of course, saw that Su Mu had already picked up his phone.
So naturally, He Qiya knew that Su Mu was picking up his phone at this time because of her WeChat message.
As for whether Su Mu had actually opened her WeChat message or not, He Qiya was unsure.
Even though He Qiya was highly focused, it was impossible for her to see through the windows of both cars to know whether Su Mu had opened her voice message in the black Ferrari or not.
He Qiya only knew one thing, that when Su Mu suddenly turned his head to glance at her car again, it certainly had to do with the WeChat message she sent.
Therefore, when He Qiya first saw Su Mu turn his head, she felt an immense happiness in her heart.
But before He Qiya’s joy had a chance to last for a few seconds, Su Mu turned his head back again.
From the angle of Su Mu’s gaze toward her side, He Qiya could even deduce that Su Mu just glanced at her car.
Su Mu didn’t at all look into He Qiya’s car.
In other words, Su Mu’s motion just now wasn’t about wanting to see He Qiya herself.
Could it be that Su Mu was unhappy upon hearing that she was going to attend university in Wudong City as well?
Or was it that Su Mu found her to be a bother, not wanting her to follow him to Wudong City?
Several ideas flashed through He Qiya’s mind, all assuming that Su Mu didn’t want her to study in the same city as him after hearing her WeChat message.
Because of Su Mu’s subconscious action, the excitement that filled He Qiya when she heard from her father that school matters had been settled had already faded away.
If Su Mu wasn’t happy about He Qiya’s action, she felt it was meaningless to do anything more.
He Qiya glanced at the road ahead; they were nearly at the top of the mountain now.
He Qiya didn’t know if she should continue to follow Su Mu all the way to the top.
Since Su Mu hadn’t made any specific gesture indicating his intentions, He Qiya was unsure whether she should stop the car and go back or what else to do.
He Qiya felt that even if Su Mu truly didn’t want her to follow him to study in Wudong City,
Given Su Mu’s personality, he would have said so directly, wouldn’t he?
Just when He Qiya was uncertain about what she should do next.
He Qiya was still very used to staring at Su Mu.
He Qiya wanted to judge again through Su Mu’s behavior.
If Su Mu showed no reaction to his WeChat message, He Qiya felt he really could stop the car.
After all, He Qiya knew that the Su Family’s castle was on the mountain peak.
Although he had never been to the castle of Su Mu’s family, there was only one on the mountain peak, and it was only the Su Family that lived there.
He Qiya didn’t need to know the exact address to guess it.
He Qiya knew that it was impossible for him to really follow Su Mu all the way back to the castle.
It wasn’t a matter of thick or thin skin; it was simply that He Qiya had no reason to follow Su Mu back to the castle.
He Qiya’s eyes were tightly fixed on Su Mu.
If at the beginning He Qiya had three parts of his attention on driving and seven on Su Mu,
Now He Qiya had just one part of his attention on driving and nine parts on Su Mu.
For He Qiya, it was enough that his car was still on the mountain road.
Everything else was not a problem.
The biggest issue now was that He Qiya wanted to know what reaction Su Mu would have after knowing that he would also be attending university in Wudong City.
He Qiya saw that Su Mu’s phone didn’t seem to be put down.
Could it be that Su Mu didn’t have time to reply to his WeChat message?
A little hope started to burn again in He Qiya’s heart.
Of course, Su Mu didn’t know that in such a short time, He Qiya’s mind had flashed with so many thoughts.
Su Mu simply found it strange that He Qiya sent a WeChat message at this time and only glanced at the red Ferrari beside him.
Even while so many thoughts flashed through He Qiya’s mind, Su Mu still didn’t know what WeChat message He Qiya had sent.
Since He Qiya had sent a voice message, Su Mu didn’t need to look at it.
He directly opened the voice message, and from it came He Qiya’s somewhat excited voice.
"Su Mu, my parents agreed that I don’t need to go abroad for university anymore. My dad has arranged a university in China for me, and as soon as the summer vacation starts, I’ll be attending university in Wudong City."
Su Mu finally understood the reason why He Qiya had followed him all this way.
It was because a significant change had occurred in He Qiya’s life.
Su Mu knew that He Qiya’s character had undergone a dramatic change because of studying alone abroad.
Therefore, Su Mu wasn’t surprised that He Yuguang and Huang Yuqin would let He Qiya attend university in China.
After all, the educational environment in China was not worse than abroad, and if He Yuguang and Huang Yuqin didn’t want to see their daughter completely isolated from society,
Su Mu knew they would make a wise choice.
There was only one thing in He Qiya’s words that Su Mu found a bit strange.
Attending university in Wudong City?
Su Mu remembered that Four Eyes seemed to have told He Qiya last time that the university he would attend was Z University in Wudong City, right?
Could it be such a coincidence?
Did He Qiya just happen to be going to university in Wudong City?
Shaking his head internally, Su Mu felt he might be overthinking it.
He Qiya had said it was the university arranged by his father.
Perhaps He Yuguang chose Wudong City for the same reason Su Mu had chosen Z University, because it was close to Huadong City.
