Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 493 - 492: Doing "Good Deeds

"No wonder they chose my son to be the best man. I thought Xuanxuan’s cousin was really bold."

Bai Xiuping nodded, and hearing what her son said, she finally understood why Xuanxuan’s cousin would choose Xiao Mu to be her fiancé’s best man.

It turned out they really had no choice.

Bai Xiuping felt that if Xuanxuan’s cousin and her cousin-in-law had had a choice, they definitely wouldn’t have picked such a handsome boy for their best man.

That would have stolen the groom’s thunder.

What Bai Xiuping didn’t know was that Allen, the foreigner, didn’t mind at all that Su Mu was more handsome than himself.

Far from minding, Allen was actually very happy that Su Mu could be his best man.

Allen now regarded Su Mu as his own idol.

Having his idol as the best man at his own wedding was, of course, a very happy occasion for Allen.

Bai Xiuping would be even less likely to imagine that her son, serving as the best man at Xuanxuan’s cousin’s wedding, also smoothly handled Xuanxuan’s uncle.

If Bai Mingqi hadn’t learned that the young master of the Su Family would be Allen’s best man,

when the wedding was scheduled would still be an unknown.

Even though Bai Mingqi had given in, before knowing that Su Mu would be Allen’s best man, he hadn’t expressed a single word regarding the specifics of his daughter’s wedding.

Not to mention the complete 180-degree change in attitude once Bai Mingqi learned that the young master of the Su Family, Su Mu, would be attending the wedding.

Given this, neither Bai Wanting nor Allen would mind if Su Mu upstaged the groom at the wedding.

"Mom, you’re right to say that Xuanxuan’s cousin is indeed very bold."

Su Mu’s comment was referring to Bai Wanting’s act of ’boarding first and buying the ticket later’ to blackmail her father.

It’s just that Su Mu didn’t spell it out and Bai Xiuping didn’t think in that direction.

"Xiao Mu, are you going to Huangtong City with Xuanxuan and her parents this time?"

Xuanxuan’s parents are Bai Wanting’s aunt and uncle.

For such a major event as their niece’s wedding, as aunt and uncle, they would definitely be present.

There’s no need to say more about this; Bai Xiuping knew it too.

What Bai Xiuping thought of was that Xiao Mu said he was going with Xuanxuan.

So it was possible that Xuanxuan’s parents might also travel together.

Bai Xiuping and Su Ruizhi still didn’t know that their son had already met his girlfriend’s parents today.

In Bai Xiuping’s view, her son hadn’t yet formally visited his girlfriend’s family. She wondered if Xiao Mu would feel uneasy about abruptly joining his girlfriend’s parents to visit other relatives.

"I haven’t discussed this with Xuanxuan yet. We might go together or separately."

"It’s a minor issue. We can decide when the time comes. It’s not a problem."

Su Mu seemed very relaxed about it.

For Su Mu, going to Huangtong City with just Xuanxuan would be more comfortable.

But even if he were to go with Xuanxuan’s parents, it wouldn’t be a problem for him.

After all, the afternoon’s interaction made Su Mu feel that Xuanxuan’s parents were quite easy to talk to.

There was no generation gap or anything like that.

There would also be benefits to traveling together.

It’s livelier with more people around, and it wouldn’t be boring.

So, in Su Mu’s eyes, this issue was really just a small one.

There really was no need to consider it so much.

"A small matter? Aren’t you nervous the first time you meet your girlfriend’s parents?"

Even though she knew her son was exceptional.

Even Jiang Xinxuan’s parents would surely like Xiao Mu a lot when they met.

But Bai Xiuping felt that this was, after all, Xiao Mu’s first time meeting a girlfriend’s parents; shouldn’t he be a bit more concerned?

Even if Xiao Mu wasn’t nervous, he shouldn’t appear so indifferent.

In Bai Xiuping’s opinion, her son shouldn’t be behaving this way.

Bai Xiuping still remembered how nervous her husband was when he first prepared to meet her parents: he was so anxious he couldn’t sleep all night.

Even if Su Mu was more capable than his old man, he shouldn’t be acting as if he didn’t care at all.

If Xiao Mu wasn’t serious about Jiang Xinxuan, Bai Xiuping might understand.

But, according to her observations, that was certainly not the case.

If Xiao Mu wasn’t serious about Jiang Xinxuan, how could he possibly bring her to the Su Family Group’s stock listing bell-ringing ceremony?

Therefore, Bai Xiuping was somewhat unable to understand her son’s casual attitude. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"The first time? By then it won’t be the first time; it should be the second time," he said.

Su Mu found that after moving back to the castle, his old man and woman really cared too little about his affairs.

Hadn’t his parents even known he had met Xuanxuan’s parents that afternoon?

Of course, Su Mu hadn’t told his parents about this yet.

But that was because he hadn’t had a chance to see his old man and woman these past few days, so how could he tell them?

"The second time? Since when have you met Xuanxuan’s parents, Xiao Mu?"

"How come your father and I didn’t know?"

Although Xiao Mu meeting his girlfriend’s parents wasn’t exactly a state affair.

Bai Xiuping felt that, after all, it was Xiao Mu’s first love and his first time visiting the girl’s parents.

Bai Xiuping had been planning to give Xiao Mu some advice when he went to meet Xuanxuan’s parents.

Now, well, Bai Xiuping hadn’t given any advice at all, yet Xiao Mu had quietly met the girl’s parents.

Bai Xiuping suddenly felt she was a bit of a failure as a mother.

How could she only learn of her son’s significant life event after the fact?

"Mom, you and Dad are almost treating the house like a hotel. How could I possibly have the chance to tell you?"

"It was just yesterday that Xuanxuan mentioned her parents wanted to invite me to their home as a guest, and I thought it was no big deal, so I agreed."

"Oh, and I told grandpa about it this morning."

With this last sentence, Su Mu made it clear he didn’t go to meet his girlfriend’s parents sneakingly.

The only reason he hadn’t told his parents was that he hadn’t had the chance.

It wasn’t that Su Mu wanted to hide anything.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Elder Su, right?

"Dad, did you know about Xiao Mu going to meet Xuanxuan’s parents?"

With a hint of doubt, Bai Xiuping turned and asked Elder Su, who had been sitting there silently the whole time.

Of course, Bai Xiuping didn’t think Xiao Mu would lie about something like this.

Bai Xiuping felt it was too unexpected.

Xiao Mu had met his girlfriend’s parents, which was definitely not something Bai Xiuping had anticipated.

"I know, Xiao Mu told me first thing this morning."

Elder Su nodded seriously and answered his daughter-in-law’s question.

Truth be told, Elder Su also thought the phrase his grandson used just now was very apt.

His son and daughter-in-law were indeed too busy, so busy that they treated the castle as if it were a hotel.

It was quite hard for Elder Su to have a good chat with his son and daughter-in-law.

Because Elder Su’s daily routine was very regular, going to bed early and waking up early is a very good habit for someone of his age.

By the time Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping returned to the castle, Elder Su had usually already gone to his room.

As for the morning, well, Elder Su did wake up quite early.

He could also see his son and daughter-in-law in the morning.

But because Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping were in a hurry to get to the company, they could only exchange a quick greeting with Elder Su before rushing off.

Therefore, even though the family now lived together, Elder Su found that he seemed to spend more time with his grandson.

Even though Xiao Mu had reclaimed his identity and Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping had moved back to the castle to live together,

For Elder Su, there still wasn’t much communication between him, his son, and daughter-in-law.

The castle, for Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping, really was like a hotel; it was only a place to sleep at night.

The only difference, perhaps, is that this castle could be considered a super-luxury hotel.

Even the so-called presidential suites in hotels weren’t nearly as luxurious by many times over.

Another point was that the castle was Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping’s long-term fixed "hotel suite," and it was the free kind.

Initially, Elder Su hadn’t given it much thought, but now that his grandson had mentioned it, Elder Su did feel that his son and daughter-in-law were indeed spending a bit too much time at the company.

Elder Su, who had been there and done that, knew all too well that money could never be completely earned.

Back when Elder Su was young, he too was fully committed to the company.

Only when he got older and reflected on his past did Elder Su realize he had missed out on a lot.

Elder Su felt that he should find an opportunity to have a serious talk with his son and daughter-in-law.

Sometimes, things that one doesn’t consider when young become regrettable when one is older and it’s too late.

Of course, Elder Su did not want his son and daughter-in-law to have any regrets later on.

Of course, now wasn’t the time to discuss such matters, so Elder Su didn’t bring it up.

"Dad really knew about it."

Bai Xiuping glanced at her son somewhat guiltily.

It seemed Xiao Mu did have a point; she and her husband had been so preoccupied with the company that they had neglected many things about their son.

Bai Xiuping felt a twinge of guilt towards her son.

Although Bai Xiuping felt that everything she and her husband were doing now was to ensure that when Xiao Mu took over the Su Family Enterprise, it would be even bigger than it was now,

But Bai Xiuping also understood that it wasn’t an excuse for not taking the time to care about her son.

Didn’t Bai Xiuping manage to carve out time every day to work regularly, accompanying her son when they were squeezed into a two-bedroom apartment?

Bai Xiuping felt that now, because Xiao Mu already knew his real identity, she had become complacent in her heart.

Another point was that Bai Xiuping felt since Xiao Mu had moved back to the castle to live with Elder Su,

Everyday life would definitely be well cared for.

This is also a very important reason why Bai Xiuping is now able to focus all her thoughts on the company with great relief.

But now it seems Bai Xiuping has realized something.

Bai Xiuping knew that in addition to daily living, her son still needed his parents’ care and attention.

Bai Xiuping also reviewed herself in her heart.

After exchanging glances with her husband, both saw a hint of guilt in each other’s eyes.

It seemed that both Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping had realized their neglect towards their son and their family.

"Mom, it’s mainly because yesterday Xuanxuan suddenly mentioned that his parents wanted to invite me to their house."

"Since I was free, I just agreed."

"It was a bit rushed, so I didn’t manage to tell you and Dad in time."

"Plus, I figured it was just a matter of meeting Xuanxuan’s parents, not a big deal, just bringing some gifts would suffice."

"Considering you and Dad have been busy with the company, I didn’t bother you with such a small matter."

After all, he had lived with his mom and dad since he was a child.

With just a look, Su Mu could tell his parents were overthinking things.

Such a trivial matter made his parents feel guilty?

Su Mu naturally didn’t want his parents to feel guilty about him.

He spoke lightly to make his parents feel at ease.

"You’re in such a hurry? Is it because you’re going to Huangtong City with Xuanxuan soon?"

"Xuanxuan’s parents must feel it’s better to meet you before Bai Wanting’s wedding."

"Otherwise, once you arrive in Huangtong City, it would be awkward for you to meet Xuanxuan’s parents for the first time in front of his uncles and aunts."

Upon hearing Xiao Mu’s words, Bai Xiuping’s guilt was indeed redirected.

Bai Xiuping hadn’t really anticipated that Xuanxuan’s parents would be in such a hurry to invite Xiao Mu to their home.

As Bai Xiuping knew about Bai Wanting’s wedding, she naturally connected it with the matter at hand.

Su Mu really wanted to say in his heart, "Mom, you’ve got the sequence of events mixed up."

To know, the confirmed date for Bai Wanting’s wedding was set after Su Mu had visited Jiang Xinxuan’s house.

Su Mu went to his girlfriend’s house in the morning.

It was almost evening when Xuanxuan told Su Mu that the time for Bai Wanting’s wedding had been set.

In other words, when Xuanxuan’s parents invited Su Mu to their house yesterday, Bai Wanting’s wedding was still not even penciled in.

The two events couldn’t really be linked together at all.

Of course, Bai Xiuping didn’t know the details.

And naturally, Bai Xiuping didn’t realize she had misunderstood the sequence of events.

Su Mu didn’t feel like correcting his mom either; as far as he was concerned, the sequence of events was not important at all.

Let Mom understand it however she wants.

After all, Su Mu’s main goal was to keep his mom from dwelling on that guilt.

As for the misunderstanding about the sequence of events, Su Mu didn’t think it mattered much.

It’s not like Su Mu could tell his mom that Xuanxuan’s parents were eager to see him because he had done a "good deed," right?
