Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 444 - 443: Swallowed a Reassuring Pill
Chapter 444: Chapter 443: Swallowed a Reassuring Pill
Anyway, when Su Mu was choosing between Z University and S University, these two top universities in the country,
he decided on Z University because its location in Wudong City was closer to Huadong City.
Su Mu felt that He Yuguang should pay even more attention to this matter.
After all, wasn’t the abrupt change in He Qiya’s personality due to the fact that her parents, He Yuguang and Huang Yuqin, had sent her to a foreign country so far away?
Naturally, this time with He Qiya studying domestically, He Yuguang would definitely take this matter very seriously.
Thinking of this, Su Mu felt relieved.
If He Qiya chose to go to a university in Wudong City on her own accord, Su Mu might feel like he was being "watched."
Although Su Mu had promised his mom and Aunt Qin to help He Qiya integrate into society as much as possible,
it was only to the extent that Su Mu could accept.
Su Mu couldn’t possibly be helping by carrying an "extra burden" everywhere, right?
Having understood this, Su Mu lost interest in exactly where He Qiya would end up going to university.
Anyway, Su Mu knew that He Qiya was not going to attend Z University.
Even if He Yuguang was capable, after all, He Qiya had not taken the national college entrance examination in the country.
Su Mu knew that Z University wouldn’t go through the back door like that. frёeωebɳovel.com
Su Mu did not think that He Qiya going to university in Wudong City would have much to do with him in the future.
Wudong City was huge, and even his girlfriend, who attended the same Z University as he did, wasn’t on the same campus.
Let alone He Qiya, who definitely wouldn’t be attending the same university as Su Mu.
Su Mu also didn’t think he would have many opportunities to meet He Qiya in the future.
So, Su Mu replied with a simple "OK."
He Qiya was returning to study in the country, but Su Mu didn’t know whether this was a good thing for the He Family or a choice made without other options.
Therefore, it wasn’t appropriate for Su Mu to say congratulations or anything like that.
If it were He Qiya getting into university through her own national college exam results, Su Mu would certainly have politely offered his blessings.
But with He Qiya’s special circumstances, Su Mu knew that blessings were not necessary.
Su Mu thought that He Qiya must have just seen him,
and as she considered him a friend, she wanted to tell him.
After all, He Qiya herself said that in the country, she only had Su Mu as a friend.
So naturally, the only person who could share this news with He Qiya was Su Mu himself.
Su Mu’s response was very brief.
For Su Mu, it meant he was now aware that He Qiya was going to study in Wudong City.
But even such a simple reply, to He Qiya, seemed like a reassurance pill.
Seeing the "OK" sent by Su Mu, He Qiya felt that it was Su Mu confirming her decision to study in Wudong City.
He Qiya believed it to be Su Mu’s acquiescence to her studying in the same city as him.
As long as Su Mu did not object, He Qiya’s mood instantly became wonderful again.
"Su Mu, I mainly wanted to tell you this news. I’m heading to Xinghuan Entertainment now, my dad asked me to sign some documents,"
It was another voice message, but this time He Qiya’s tone was noticeably cheerier.
In He Qiya’s heart, Su Mu’s attitude was decisive.
If Su Mu had shown dislike for He Qiya’s plans to study in Wudong City,
even if He Qiya truly went to study in Wudong City, she wouldn’t be very happy about it.
Now it was different. Su Mu had replied with "OK," which He Qiya interpreted to mean that Su Mu was willing to have her study in the same city as him.
After sending the voice message, seeing the silhouette of the castle already visible in the distance, He Qiya decisively slowed down her car.
If He Qiya were still following Su Mu at this time, she would undoubtedly be the one to end up feeling awkward.
That was because Su Mu never intended to invite He Qiya to his house for a visit.
You see, Su Mu had not yet brought a girl home.
Not even Jiang Xinxuan had the chance to follow Su Mu back to the castle, let alone other girls.
Besides, Su Mu had matters to attend to with Elder Su in the afternoon, so obviously, he wouldn’t have time to entertain He Qiya either.
Su Mu saw the red Ferrari that had stopped in the rearview mirror.
Since He Qiya herself had mentioned she had other things to do, Su Mu was even less obliged to greet her or anything like that.
Su Mu’s car did not slow down at all, heading straight for the castle.
It was only after He Qiya saw that Su Mu’s car had gone far away that she turned her car around, heading down the mountain.
At this moment, He Qiya felt really pleased with herself.
He Qiya told Su Mu that she was going to attend university in Wudong City.
Originally, He Qiya did have some reservations in her heart.
After all, She had only just learned from Four Eyes that Su Mu would be attending Z University in Wudong City.
Following which, this situation with He Qiya occurred.
When she sent the first voice message, He Qiya had been afraid that Su Mu would find her annoying.
Indeed, her actions resembled a piece of sticky candy.
If Su Mu knew he had misunderstood and that it was not He Yuguang’s machination,
but rather He Qiya’s own request, he might actually change his view of He Qiya.
Or perhaps Su Mu might give more thought to He Qiya’s peculiar actions.
Because of Su Mu’s mistaken assumption, he had failed to notice that He Qiya’s recent series of actions seemed to have the intention of sticking close to him.
What was once a side-by-side display of a black and red Ferrari was now a case of the two cars driving in opposite directions.
However, He Qiya knew that in the coming days, she would be very close to Su Mu.
...
Having returned to the castle, Su Mu found Elder Su in the study.
Su Mu knew that his grandfather liked to write and paint in the afternoon, so he didn’t disturb Elder Su.
Since it was still early, after acknowledging Ah Fook, Su Mu went back to his room.
Just as Su Mu anticipated, not long after he got back to his room, he received a caring text from his girlfriend.
"Su Mu, have you reached home?"
"Just got home."
Because his phone was in his hand, this time Su Mu replied to his girlfriend’s WeChat instantly like a true gentleman would.
"You’re home, but my mom and I have just left the house."
"My mother just called Aunt Qin. Su Mu, you might not know, just because you agreed to be Allen’s best man, now my uncle is in a rush arranging my cousin’s wedding with Allen."
Since she wasn’t driving, Jiang Xinxuan was leisurely texting her boyfriend, chatting about trivial matters.
Of course, because she was sitting in the passenger seat next to her mother.
For privacy reasons, Jiang Xinxuan used text chat and didn’t call her dear boyfriend on a voice call or voice chat or anything like that.
Jiang Xinxuan’s parents were aware of her relationship.
And today, Su Mu had formally visited as well.
But Jiang Xinxuan still felt embarrassed to let her mother hear the sweet nothings exchanged between her and her boyfriend.
"Because of me? I don’t even know your uncle,"
Su Mu truly did not know Jiang Xinxuan’s Uncle Bai Mingqi.
Not to mention Bai Wanting, Su Mu had only seen her for the first time at the bridal shop.
Let alone Bai Mingqi, who was even more senior.
Keep in mind, Su Mu had only officially met Xuanxuan’s parents today.
Of course, Jiang Maohua’s encounter with Su Mu at the Su Family Group’s celebration dinner didn’t count as an official introduction.
At that time, it was only Jiang Maohua who recognized the very impressive, yet "hidden," young master of the Su Family.
But Su Mu had no idea which one was his girlfriend’s father.
So, it was quite normal for Su Mu to feel this puzzled now.
How could Xuanxuan’s uncle have changed his attitude toward Bai Wanting and Allen’s marriage because of him, two people who were essentially strangers?
Of course, Bai Mingqi had already loosened up and agreed, so Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding was officially set.
It’s just that in such a short period, Bai Mingqi had gone from reluctantly agreeing to now actively arranging the wedding.
In Su Mu’s eyes, this was rather odd indeed.
Jiang Xinxuan, sitting in the passenger seat, saw Su Mu’s WeChat message and smiled slightly.
In Jiang Xinxuan’s eyes, her boyfriend was an omniscient, godlike figure.
But now, seeing Su Mu’s WeChat message, she realized even her boyfriend had times when he was unsure.
Jiang Xinxuan thought Su Mu seemed much more down-to-earth now.
Of course, Jiang Xinxuan was somewhat forced into this.
It was totally normal for Su Mu to be puzzled about someone he didn’t even know.
"Xuanxuan, what’s so funny?"
Bai Mingyun, who was driving, looked at his daughter clinging to her phone non-stop.
Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan must be messaging Su Mu.
Thinking how the young couple had so much to talk about just after parting, it could only mean that Xuanxuan and Su Mu’s relationship was very strong.
Bai Mingyun naturally was happy to see this.
Initially, Bai Mingyun didn’t want to interrupt his daughter’s conversation with Su Mu.
But now, seeing the bright smile on Xuanxuan’s face, Bai Mingyun couldn’t help asking.
"I told Su Mu about how Uncle’s attitude toward my cousin and Allen’s marriage has changed,"
"And, I also said that Uncle’s change was all because of Su Mu,"
"Su Mu just replied to the message saying he didn’t know anything about it, and that he doesn’t even know Uncle yet,"
Jiang Xinxuan simply recounted the conversation she had with Su Mu.
Bai Mingyun nodded. This was perfectly normal.
Why did Xuanxuan seem so happy about it?
Seeing her mother’s baffled expression, Jiang Xinxuan finally got to the crux of the explanation.
"Mum, you have no idea, whatever the matter, Su Mu always seemed to have everything under control,"
"This is the first time I’ve seen Su Mu not know something,"
Jiang Xinxuan was as excited as a child who had discovered a new continent.
It wasn’t that Jiang Xinxuan was happy that there was something Su Mu didn’t know.
Jiang Xinxuan just thought this side of Su Mu was quite amusing.
"You child, what’s so strange about that."
"Su Mu and your uncle didn’t even know each other, so it’s completely normal if he feels puzzled by this sudden change in your uncle’s attitude,"
Bai Mingyun didn’t understand why her daughter was so happy about this.
Her reaction was nothing but normal.
"I just think it’s rare to find something Su Mu isn’t clear about,"
Pouting, Jiang Xinxuan felt her mother was lacking a sense of fun.
This amusing situation was being described so seriously by her mother.
Bai Mingyun gave her daughter another look, and seeing Xuanxuan’s bright, beaming smile, she suddenly didn’t want to correct anything anymore.
As long as Xuanxuan was happy, whatever she found interesting must be interesting.
Fortunately, Su Mu wasn’t nearby, Bai Mingyun thought, so he wouldn’t see Xuanxuan in her "silly state."
Seeing her mother driving with concentration, no longer paying attention to her, Jiang Xinxuan’s fingers started flying over her cell phone’s keyboard.
She hadn’t had the chance to reply to Su Mu’s WeChat message immediately because of her mother’s interjection.
For Jiang Xinxuan, who always prided herself on replying in seconds, this was a minor but significant oversight.
Jiang Xinxuan feared that because of her mistake, Su Mu might just set his phone aside and stop chatting with her. What then?
Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu and Elder Su had agreed to attend the auction at four-thirty in the afternoon.
It wasn’t even two o’clock yet, so Jiang Xinxuan felt at ease chatting freely with her boyfriend, knowing it wouldn’t interfere with his important tasks.
If they weren’t blessed with ample time, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t even mention it.
After all, her uncle’s attitude towards her cousin and Allen’s marriage had nothing to do with Su Mu.
"Su Mu, my uncle really idolizes the Su Family, especially your grandfather. He utterly regards him as an idol,"
"Knowing that you, the young master of the Su Family, are willing to be Allen’s best man, my uncle’s attitude towards Allen has changed."
"My uncle is now very enthusiastic about my cousin and Allen’s wedding. In his words, it’s not for any other reason but to see you, the best man, sooner."
"So, you truly are Allen’s lucky star,"
As Su Mu’s girlfriend, Jiang Xinxuan naturally felt very proud.
Therefore, she sent several messages in one go.
Jiang Xinxuan just wanted to tell Su Mu how much he had helped Allen.
So much so that her uncle changed his attitude towards Allen just because of the name Su Mu.
Is that even possible?
Indeed, Su Mu wasn’t doing anything.
Resting in his room, Su Mu picked up his phone after it rang a few more times.
He knew the WeChat messages must be from his girlfriend.
However, after reading his girlfriend’s explanation about her uncle’s attitude, Su Mu was speechless.
Based on the portrayal by Bai Wanting and Xuanxuan, Su Mu thought Bai Mingqi would be a very serious and stoic person.
But now, Bai Mingqi’s actions made Su Mu feel Xuanxuan’s uncle was actually somewhat childish.
How to put it, Su Mu felt that regarding Bai Wanting and Allen’s marriage, Bai Mingqi’s actions were a bit childish.
Wasn’t Bai Mingqi sincerely accepting Allen because of Bai Wanting’s baby and Allen’s sincere attitude?
What Su Mu couldn’t understand was, just because he agreed to be Allen’s best man, that stern man described by Xuanxuan suddenly treated his daughter’s wedding like child’s play?
In any case, Su Mu found it somewhat incredulous.
Su Mu thought maybe Xuanxuan had misunderstood her uncle, and this might just be an excuse Bai Mingqi came up with for himself.
