Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 489 - 488: A Vivid Lesson

"Alright, Xiao Mu, your grandpa and I will be your witnesses,"

"Don’t worry, your grandpa and I will definitely make sure your dad keeps his word."

Being specifically requested by her precious son, Bai Xiuping certainly had to clarify her stance.

"Right, Dad? You’ll be Xiao Mu’s witness too, won’t you?"

Although Bai Xiuping seemed to be taking matters into her own hands by agreeing to Xiao Mu’s request on behalf of Elder Su,

she still held a great deal of respect for Elder Su and ultimately sought his opinion.

The reason Bai Xiuping didn’t consult Elder Su at the outset

was because she knew how precious the grandson was to Elder Su.

Bai Xiuping felt certain that Elder Su wouldn’t refuse such a small request from Xiao Mu.

Therefore, Bai Xiuping agreed to her son’s request before seeking out Elder Su’s opinion.

Frankly, it was just a formality.

After all, everyone was quite aware of what Elder Su’s attitude would be.

"Xiao Mu, just go ahead and answer your dad’s questions; Grandpa is watching over you,"

Faced with his daughter-in-law’s query, Elder Su also expressed his stance with great enthusiasm.

As for monitoring Su Ruizhi on behalf of Su Mu, there was no need for Elder Su to spell it out.

Of course, it was to watch Su Ruizhi and make sure he was someone who kept his word and was trustworthy.

If outsiders knew that the chairman of the Su Family, was actually resorting to petty tricks with his own son,

to the extent that he needed his own father and wife as witnesses, it would surely shock many to the core.

Don’t think that Su Ruizhi is just being "monitored" by his family.

In fact, Chairman Su is quite imposing outside.

And the idea of him resorting to petty tricks is utterly inconceivable to outsiders.

For everyone, Chairman Su is seen as a decisive and trustworthy top boss.

Nobody would expect such a situation to arise.

Of course, it’s also because it’s happening within his own home.

It’s with the three most important people in his life that Su Ruizhi allows himself to be this "indulgent."

If there were outsiders present, it would be impossible even to catch a glimpse of this side of Su Ruizhi.

"Thank you, Grandpa; thank you, Mom,"

Seeing his robust support system being so cooperative, Xiao Mu was, of course, very sweet with his words.

Glancing proudly at his dad, Xiao Mu didn’t dally any longer.

"Dad, you often send flowers to Mom, so you must be very familiar with roses, right?"

"I guess the flowers you most often give to Mom are roses as well."

After a slight pause, Xiao Mu waited for his dad to answer his question.

"Of course, you surely understand the meaning of roses—they represent love. How could I not give roses to your mom?"

Su Ruizhi answered his son’s question without a second thought.

This also was a great opportunity for Su Ruizhi to express his love for his wife, and how could such a clever man miss it?

Since Elder Su was also present, Bai Xiuping felt somewhat embarrassed by her husband’s overt declaration of love.

Giving her husband a glare, a blush spread across Bai Xiuping’s fair face, making her appear even brighter and more fetching.

Seeing his wife’s shy demeanor, Su Ruizhi couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.

"Dad, you’re absolutely right,"

Su Mu had certainly noticed the little gestures between his father and mother, and not wanting to embarrass his mom, he shifted the attention away.

"But Dad, do you know that roses are also very suitable for Mother’s Day gifts?"

"In other words, roses are also a kind of flower that is very suitable to give to moms."

Su Ruizhi was clearly unaware of his son’s statement.

Seeing the puzzled look on Su Ruizhi’s face upon hearing what Xiao Mu had said made it obvious.

Having gifted his wife roses for over a decade, Su Ruizhi always thought that roses were only appropriate for lovers.

Now hearing Xiao Mu say that roses could also be given to mothers, Su Ruizhi was naturally skeptical.

However, because Xiao Mu had demonstrated a considerable degree of expertise about flowers earlier, Su Ruizhi thought it was better to listen respectfully.

"Xiao Mu, are you serious?"

Su Ruizhi didn’t say anything, but Bai Xiuping couldn’t hold back.

Bai Xiuping thought about how she too had been receiving flowers for so many years.

In Bai Xiuping’s mind, roses had always represented romance and were not to be casually given away.

Apart from lovers and spouses, Bai Xiuping had always believed that it was inappropriate to give roses to anyone else.

Now hearing Xiao Mu say that it’s okay to give roses to mothers, Bai Xiuping was understandably surprised.

"Mom, aren’t you being a bit too old-fashioned? I thought it was just Dad who wasn’t aware, but even you didn’t know?"

Su Mu shook his head with an expression of deep regret.

Actually, Su Mu knew that before he acquired the Champion Flower Identification Skill, he too thought the same.

Roses, the flower of love, should of course only be given to someone you love.

But now, Su Mu’s understanding of flowers was not to be compared with before he had this skill.

"Mom, with society progressing so fast, internet culture and people’s attitudes have become very open."

"Roses are no longer limited to just the concept of romantic love."

"Indeed, roses represent love."

"They say a son is his mother’s lover from a past life, and a daughter is her mother’s little cotton-padded jacket."

"A bouquet of roses, given to a mother, can also represent the love of a son or daughter."

"Therefore, for Mother’s Day, giving roses to mom is also very appropriate."

Su Mu breathed out his knowledge about the alternative meaning of roses all at once.

Su Ruizhi blinked, had he really "lost" just like that?

Su Ruizhi truly hadn’t expected that he would lose to his own son in this matter.

But this time, Su Ruizhi was left speechless as Xiao Mu had already taken the precaution of securing two heavy-weight witnesses.

Su Ruizhi admitted he dared not offend them.

Besides, this time Su Ruizhi had no intentions of being dishonest.

After all, he genuinely felt convinced inside and out by this "loss."

Su Ruizhi knew the question he posed had been very tricky.

But even with such a tricky question, Xiao Mu had answered effortlessly.

Moreover, the answer Xiao Mu provided did not require Su Ruizhi to double-check online or elsewhere, to confirm its validity.

It’s important to note, Xiao Mu’s explanation was very logical and well-founded.

Su Ruizhi couldn’t find any words to refute it even if he wanted to.

"Xiao Mu, when did you learn so much about the meanings of flowers?"

"Mom, you never seemed to be particularly interested in all those flowers and plants before, right?"

Bai Xiuping finally voiced her inner doubts.

Who made Xiao Mu give such a lively lesson to everyone?

He had slipped up.

Su Mu said to himself.

According to his parents’ understanding of him, Su Mu knew that saying so much would definitely arouse his parents’ suspicions.

But Su Mu had long thought of an excuse.

After all, it wasn’t a bad thing, and telling a white lie would make everyone happy.

The trouble was that the system was too mysterious, and Su Mu couldn’t explain its existence to his grandfather, father, and mother, right?

If things went wrong and Elder Su and his parents thought he was delusional or hallucinating, that wouldn’t be fun at all.

Moreover, the system had never said that its existence could be revealed.

Su Mu felt that it was better to respect the system.

"Mom, I’m about to go to Wudong City for college, aren’t I?"

"That means I definitely won’t be able to come back to Huadong City often, let alone visit you, Grandpa, and Dad frequently."

"Grandpa and Dad are men; it’s not too bad for them, at worst when I miss them I can just give them a call."

"But I definitely can’t treat my beautiful mom that way."

"I thought, since I won’t be able to see Mom often, I should send her flowers more often to express a son’s feelings of missing her."

"Since I don’t have to work now and have plenty of time, I specifically looked up books on this topic."

"I was actually planning to surprise you with this after I started college, but Dad forced it out of me today."

Su Mu didn’t even blink as he took the system’s credit for himself.

Not only that, but Su Mu also gave his mom a rainbow fart.

Seeing the proud smile on his mother’s face, Su Mu knew his explanation had been accepted.

Moreover, his rainbow fart seemed to be even more effective than his dad’s show of love just now.

"Xiao Mu, you are the best to Mom."

Bai Xiuping didn’t even need to consider her husband’s feelings anymore.

Thinking about how her son had specially learned so many things he was not originally interested in just for her.

Bai Xiuping was, of course, immensely touched.

Su Ruizhi was completely stunned this time.

He hadn’t expected that Xiao Mu had learned so much for this reason.

What could Su Ruizhi say?

After all, Xiao Mu already held the top spot in his wife’s heart.

Now with this new act from Xiao Mu, Su Ruizhi knew he could never shake that.

"Mom, you are the Director Bai of the Su Family Group. How can you be so sentimental?"

"If others found out that their Director Bai has such a girlish side, wouldn’t your dignity be gone?"

Seeing his white lie move his mother so much, Su Mu felt a twinge of guilt.

Changing the subject, Su Mu thought it would be more relaxing to talk about other things.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where am I acting like a little woman?"

Bai Xiuping, who was still immersed in profound emotion, felt embarrassed to continue expressing her touched feelings about her son’s filial piety after his remark.

Raising her hand to touch her hair, Bai Xiuping concealed her slight embarrassment.

"Right, Xiao Mu, when you mentioned going to university, I remembered something."

"Your Aunt Qin called me this afternoon and said that Yao Yao won’t be going abroad for college."

"Aunt Qin mentioned that Yao Yao’s father has already arranged for her to attend a domestic university, which is also in Wudong City."

Of course, Bai Xiuping did not mention the other implication revealed in Huang Yuqin’s phone call.

That was about He Qiya attending university in Wudong City because it related to Su Mu.

Since Huang Yuqin had merely hinted at it quite subtly.

According to her, He Qiya didn’t have other friends in China.

Luckily, He Qiya and Su Mu got along quite well, and Huang Yuqin said that with Yao Yao attending university in Wudong City, she could occasionally visit Su Mu for fun.

In this way, He Qiya wouldn’t have to repeat her previous situation of being alone abroad.

This time, Huang Yuqin was clever and did not explicitly tell her good friend that she wanted to matchmake Su Mu with her daughter.

Because Huang Yuqin faintly felt that Bai Xiuping seemed to be less enthusiastic about pairing up the children.

After all, He Qiya is a girl, and Huang Yuqin felt her good friend intentionally avoided those topics.

So naturally, Huang Yuqin was more subtle about it.

No matter why Bai Xiuping stopped bringing up the matchmaking of the two children.

As the girl’s mother, Huang Yuqin couldn’t keep appearing too forward.

Anyway, as far as Huang Yuqin was concerned, as long as Yao Yao and Su Mu spent more time together and developed feelings on their own,

everything would be easy to discuss then.

Huang Yuqin believed that if Su Mu and Yao Yao started dating on their own, Bai Xiuping would definitely not oppose it.

And why would Bai Xiuping have a reason to object?

In terms of relationships, Bai Xiuping and Huang Yuqin were good friends and would never be an obstacle to Su Mu and He Qiya’s romance.

In terms of family background, although the He Family’s Xinghuan Entertainment could not compare with the Su Family Group.

As the only daughter of He Yuguang, the future of Xinghuan Entertainment would belong to He Qiya. freewebnoveℓ.com

It’s as if Xinghuan Entertainment is He Qiya’s dowry, and of course, it’s worthy of Su Mu.

So, in Huang Yuqin’s view, the biggest issue right now was Su Mu’s attitude.

There’s no need to mention Yao Yao, Huang Yuqin knew her daughter’s feelings very well.

Huang Yuqin knew that Yao Yao’s heart was fully occupied by only Su Mu.

If Su Mu developed feelings for Yao Yao, it would be a cause for universal celebration.

It was because of this knowledge that Huang Yuqin supported her daughter’s decision to attend university in the same city as Su Mu.

The saying goes ’the one who is near the water gets the moon first’, and that’s exactly how Huang Yuqin understood it.

Since Huang Yuqin sensed a change in Bai Xiuping’s attitude, her words were extremely cautious.

She also didn’t mention anything about He Qiya attending university in Wudong City to further develop a relationship with Su Mu.

Since Huang Yuqin did not specify her intentions, Bai Xiuping felt awkward about telling Huang Yuqin to stop meddling with the children’s relationship.

Naturally, Bai Xiuping also lost the opportunity to tell Huang Yuqin about Su Mu already having a girlfriend.

In Bai Xiuping’s view, it would seem somewhat like slapping her good friend’s face if she bluntly revealed everything without her friend having indicated such.

If things turned sour, it could even affect the friendship between Bai Xiuping and Huang Yuqin.

Bai Xiuping believed that if He Qiya got closer to Su Mu, she would naturally find out about his girlfriend.

It would be better to let Yao Yao discover this fact on her own than to rashly bring it up with Huang Yuqin.
