Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 51 Spare Tire?

The Bentley became quiet all of a sudden.

Jiang Xinxuan sneakily glanced at Su Mu.

Fortunately, Su Mu’s face was calm, showing no sign of anger.

As he was contemplating how to start the conversation, Su Mu’s cellphone rang just in time.

In fact, Su Mu wasn’t mad at Jiang Xinxuan at all.

The silence was just to let himself calm down and adjust to the physical sensations.

Picking up the phone, it was a call from his mom.

Su Mu looked at Jiang Xinxuan, whose face was still flushed, and answered the call.

"Mom, what’s up for calling me at this time?"

Su Mu didn’t want his mother to detect anything unusual in his voice, so he spoke in a mischievous tone.

"Xiao Mu, are you at home or outside?"

Indeed, Bai Xiuping hadn’t noticed any difference in her son’s tone.

Furthermore, Bai Xiuping was holding a document in her hand.

The result of doing two things at once was, of course, that she wouldn’t pay too much attention to minor changes.

"I’m outside."

Could it be that mom really had something she needed me for?

Normally at this time, mom should be at the office, too busy to concern herself with me, right?

"There’s a charity event tonight, and your dad can’t make it due to some last-minute issues. You accompany mom, will you?"

One advantage of Su Mu’s public identity was that it could be used as a convenient alternative.

Bai Xiuping felt that her excellent son should be shown off a little.

"Mom, are you treating me like a spare tire?"

Su Mu complained loudly.

What does dad having last-minute issues mean?

Did mom mean that this wasn’t something meant for me?

Was I just being pulled in because dad was unavailable?

Su Mu felt like his importance had been downgraded.

"Xiao Mu, sometimes being a spare tire isn’t a bad choice,"

"Not everyone has the privilege of being your mother’s spare tire, right?"

As Su Mu ranted, Bai Xiuping set down the document she was holding and began to "educate" her son.

"Alright, alright, alright, mom, I can’t win against you."

"I’ll head back right away, and wait for your grand arrival at home, is that okay?"

Fearing his mother’s lecture, Su Mu voluntarily raised the white flag and surrendered.

"Pfft"

Jiang Xinxuan had never seen this side of Su Mu and couldn’t hold back her laughter.

She even forgot the awkwardness from before.

"Son, is there a girl next to you? Who is she? Is that your girlfriend?"

The now fully attentive Bai Xiuping’s sensitivity shot up more than twofold.

She could not be fooled by the oddities in Su Mu’s voice over the phone.

Connecting to the fact that Xiao Mu himself had admitted to having a girlfriend.

Bai Xiuping suddenly perked up.

Her demeanor suggested she wished Su Mu would bring his girlfriend home right then, so she, the future mother-in-law, could take a good look at her.

Last night, Bai Xiuping returned to her room feeling regretful.

If only she had known Su Mu would date the Jiang family’s daughter.

Bai Xiuping really felt that in previous encounters with Jiang Xinxuan, she should have held onto the girl for a good look and a chat.

Instead of leaving without exchanging a word.

In Bai Xiuping’s memory, the Jiang’s daughter was quite well-behaved, and she was quite satisfied with Xiao Mu’s taste.

"Mom, the signal here isn’t very good, what were you saying?"

"Mom, I can’t hear you clearly, I’ll head home and wait for you later."

Worried that his mother’s enthusiasm might frighten Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu hastily hung up the call.

"Su Mu, how dare you hang up on me..."

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

Bai Xiuping hadn’t finished her threatening words, and the busy tone was already blaring through the phone.

"This kid."

Bai Xiuping shook her head and put down her phone.

"Was that Auntie?"

"Sorry, I just couldn’t hold back."

Jiang Xinxuan had been beside Su Mu all along and naturally heard the conversation between Su Mu and his mother.

"It’s fine, my mom wants to meet you. I’ll find a time to take you to see her."

Su Mu put away his phone and spoke casually.

Now that his mom knew about his girlfriend, there was no need for any secrecy.

"Okay."

Jiang Xinxuan nodded, agreeing to it.

She hadn’t expected that Su Mu would think to take her to meet his parents.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her status in Su Mu’s eyes must be pretty high.

The joy in her heart showed on her face as a bashful blush.

Jiang Xinxuan gazed at Su Mu with tender affection.

"I’ll drive you back."

Su Mu got out of the car, ready to switch places with Jiang Xinxuan.

Being looked at like this by Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu felt he might turn into a big bad wolf.

And gobble Jiang Xinxuan up completely!

Jiang Xinxuan had no idea of the effect she was causing, still immersed in the excitement of Su Mu being willing to take her to meet his parents.

She obediently got out of the car, with her mind now full of thoughts about what to pay attention to when meeting Su Mu’s mother...

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan."

"Huh?"

It took calling Jiang Xinxuan twice before she reacted.

"Go sit in the back."

Su Mu had already driven to the parking lot of the bus station.

Xiao Wang was also standing next to the Bentley, waiting.

But Jiang Xinxuan was completely lost in her thoughts and didn’t realize she was supposed to move to the back seat.

With a hint from Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan followed and moved to the back seat.

After dropping Jiang Xinxuan off at Yulong Lake Villa, the Bentley made a U-turn and headed towards the seaside of Huadong City.

On the way back to the castle, as the Bentley passed a familiar intersection, Su Mu instinctively glanced over.

"Xiao Wang, turn around, head to that intersection behind us."

"Okay, young master."

In that instinctive glance, Su Mu noticed that the red Ferrari 599 was indeed parked at the intersection.

Su Mu didn’t plan on driving that afternoon, so he didn’t want to leave He Qiya waiting for nothing.

The Bentley stopped next to the red Ferrari.

With a puzzled expression on her face, He Qiya got out of her car when she saw Su Mu.

Seeing the person she had been waiting for, He Qiya also got out.

"You’re using a driver?"

He Qiya’s first thought was that Su Mu was so skilled at driving, why would he need a driver?

Remembering what Su Mu said last night about not having a driver’s license, He Qiya quickly caught on.

It seemed that Su Mu was indeed a law-abiding good citizen, not one to drive without a license.

Watching He Qiya go from surprise to an understanding look, Su Mu knew there was no need for further explanation.

"I have some things to do today, so I’m not driving this afternoon."

He Qiya had been waiting here, and both knew implicitly they were waiting to drive together with Su Mu.

"Do you have an event tonight?"

He Qiya was a girl who didn’t like crowded events.

But today, Huang Yuqin had pleaded with her all day, insisting that He Qiya attend some charity ball that evening.

He Qiya had taken the opportunity to grab the car keys and slip out while her mother was on a phone call.

Now, hearing Su Mu mention that he was busy, He Qiya immediately connected it with what her mother had said.

After the Su family returned home the previous night, Huang Yuqin hadn’t stopped praising Su Mu in front of He Qiya.

Good family background, handsome, excellent grades, high intelligence...

He Qiya felt at that moment her mother was like a salesperson.

And the product she was selling was naturally Su Mu.
