Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 513 - 512 Can’t Wait

Respecting Four Eyes, in truth, is a show of respect towards Su Mu, who stands behind him.

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu knew Four Eyes wasn’t stupid and would naturally understand the underlying relationships.

Four Eyes was a chatterbox, and when the two of them liked posts in his social circle, they naturally hoped the chatty Four Eyes would pass the message on to Su Mu.

Of course, if Su Mu took a look at Four Eyes’ social circle and noticed their likes, that would certainly be the best outcome for Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu.

In the eyes of Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu, there was definitely a difference between Su Mu seeing something with his own eyes and hearing about it through Four Eyes.

Regrettably, Su Mu did indeed look through Four Eyes’ social circle.

And he even scrolled right to the bottom.

But Su Mu just found it amusing and casually viewed the hilarious comments in Four Eyes’ social circle.

As for who liked what in Four Eyes’ social circle, Su Mu really didn’t even give it a glance, naturally missing Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu’s likes.

For Su Mu, Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu were merely minor characters.

Su Mu didn’t bother to keep them in mind.

As for Wang Mingqi’s and Zhu Haoyu’s worries about whether Su Mu would give them a hard time in the future, they were really just worrying needlessly.

Engaging in such pettiness was beneath Su Mu.

But if Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu hoped to leverage any sort of schoolmate camaraderie and seek Su Mu’s help in the future, that too was an impossibility.

For Su Mu, there truly was no sense of fellowship with Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu.

Su Mu had almost reached the bottom of Four Eyes’ social circle.

Seeing that Four Eyes had dealt with Xian Tailang, Su Mu directly exited WeChat.

Su Mu knew Four Eyes had used his name to intimidate Xian Tailang.

Su Mu felt Four Eyes was quite adept at using leverage.

Checking the time, Su Mu silenced his phone and went off to meet the Earl of Zhou in his dreams.

...

The following days were quite pleasant for Su Mu.

Every morning, he would practice Tai Chi with Elder Su.

He and Xuanxuan also picked out the wedding gifts for Allen and Bai Wanting.

Of course, the gift Su Mu chose was for Allen, and Jiang Xinxuan picked out the gift for Bai Wanting.

During the gift selection, Jiang Xinxuan insisted on paying with his own card since he felt it was his present to his cousin, and Su Mu didn’t object.

This time, the two really bought their own gifts to be given separately to the bride and groom.

...

Since Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were part of the wedding party as groomsmen and bridesmaids, they naturally needed to arrive at Huangtong City a day or two before the wedding.

However, the distance from Huadong City to Huangtong City was only a two-hour drive, and neither Su Mu nor Jiang Xinxuan wanted to take a plane.

Initially, Su Mu was uncertain about whether he and Xuanxuan would travel to Huangtong City with her parents.

But Su Mu was prepared to drive there by himself.

So even if Xuanxuan’s parents did end up going together, the four of them would definitely take separate cars.

In that case, it was much more comfortable for Su Mu.

"Su Mu, what time will you come to pick me up tomorrow?"

Since Su Mu had already made it clear that he planned to drive to Huangtong City, as his girlfriend, Jiang Xinxuan naturally expected to be in the same car with her boyfriend.

There was no need for Jiang Xinxuan to ask about this.

What Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure of was what time Su Mu planned to come to her house to pick her up.

"Will your uncle and aunt also go to your uncle’s place tomorrow?"

If Xuanxuan’s parents were also going to Huangtong City tomorrow, Su Mu felt that although he wasn’t going to be driving in the same car as them, he should still set out in his car at the same time.

Of course, if it were just Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan going, the timing would be much more flexible, and there would be no need to consider other factors.

Su Mu certainly needed to ask clearly before he could answer Xuanxuan’s question.

"Tomorrow it’ll just be the two of us. My mom went to my uncle’s house two days ago. She said that due to the time crunch, my aunt asked her to come over a few days early to help out,"

"My dad won’t be able to go until the day after tomorrow, so he won’t be traveling with us either,"

Whatever Su Mu asked, Jiang Xinxuan would of course answer truthfully.

Although most of the wedding preparations for Bai Wanting’s wedding were handled by the hotel, there were still other things that needed to be taken care of at home.

Such as home decorations, wedding gifts, and return gifts for friends and relatives, etc.

Even if everything was readily available and could simply be purchased with money,

one still had to go and select them personally.

When put together, these small chores became quite cumbersome.

And Bai Wanting was pregnant, so she couldn’t possibly be running around busily.

Not to mention Allen — not only did he not understand these things as a boy, but as a foreigner, it would be strange if he understood Chinese customs.

As the head of the family, Bai Mingqi wasn’t much help with these things either.

To Bai Mingqi, all he needed to do was book the hotel; for everything else, he believed that they could simply use his card to pay for it.

Jiang Xinxuan’s grandmother was also old and couldn’t be of much help either.

So, with Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt being the only one busy to the point of exhaustion, it was not surprising that she had to ask Jiang Xinxuan’s mother for help.

Normally, one would need a couple of months to prepare for a wedding celebration.

Who could handle getting everything ready within a week?

It was undoubtedly a tough situation for Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt.

Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt had to hastily prepare for her own daughter’s wedding.

Initially, with Bai Mingqi’s attitude, Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt naturally didn’t dare to organize anything while Bai Mingqi was in a furious state.

Wouldn’t that be adding fuel to the fire?

However, Bai Mingqi made a turnaround, and immediately set the date for the wedding.

And he set a date that was quite urgent too, within a week’s time.

If Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t been aware of her uncle’s initial stance on her cousin’s marriage to Allen, she might have thought her uncle was eager to marry her cousin off to Allen.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt didn’t dare to say much about her husband’s decision either.

Now, the most important thing was to quickly proceed with Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding. After all, everything else could wait except Bai Wanting’s pregnancy.

Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt certainly didn’t want her daughter to hold a wedding while heavily pregnant.

It’s not like such things don’t happen in society nowadays.

But the Bai Family has a prominent standing in Huangtong City, and Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt certainly hoped that as few people as possible would know about Bai Wanting’s pregnancy out of wedlock.

After all, as long as the wedding took place, no one would pay so much attention to when the child was born.

Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt was fully aware that her husband was so eager to set the wedding date in such a short time.

Wasn’t it because Bai Mingqi knew that the groomsman for Allen was none other than the young master of the Su Family Group, Su Mu?

Bai Mingqi’s admiration for Elder Su of the Su Family Group was like the endless flow of a mighty river.

Naturally, not having the chance to meet Elder Su, meeting the young master of the Su Family Group was also a very happy event for Bai Mingqi.

Bai Mingqi’s thinking was simple: the wedding had to happen sooner or later anyway.

Besides, how much longer could it be delayed? His daughter’s belly wasn’t showing anything now, but would it remain invisible if more time passed?

So, unable to delay for much longer, Bai Mingqi of course hoped to meet the young master of the Su Family Group as soon as possible.

Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt didn’t want to spell out her husband’s thoughts.

And there was nothing to spell out, after all, Bai Mingqi didn’t hide it one bit.

Otherwise, Bai Wanting wouldn’t have felt a bit sour at that time.

Of course, Bai Wanting wasn’t sour about anything else.

Bai Wanting just felt that the little life in her belly was apparently less useful than just mentioning Su Mu’s name.

If she had known it would be this way, Bai Wanting wouldn’t have resorted to such a poor strategy of "getting on the bus first and buying a ticket later."

Couldn’t she have just invited Su Mu to her house and told her father that as long as he agreed to her marriage with Allen, Su Mu would be Allen’s groomsman?

That way, the matter wouldn’t have needed to be rushed, and at least Bai Wanting would have had more time to prepare for many things.

Regrettably, at the time Bai Wanting came up with what she thought was the only solution, she hadn’t even heard the name Su Mu.

Bai Wanting was even less aware that Su Mu, the young master of the Su Family Group, was her cousin’s boyfriend.

So at that time, Bai Wanting truly had only that one option.

It was a lucky mistake—if Bai Wanting hadn’t been out of options for finding a groomsman for Allen,

and had not passed this important task to Jiang Xinxuan, it’s doubtful Jiang Xinxuan would have thought of inviting Su Mu to be Allen’s groomsman.

Without Su Mu as Allen’s groomsman, not to mention the issue of Bai Wanting’s wedding dress would definitely not have been solved,

even after Bai Mingqi had a change of heart, and Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt brought Bai Wanting and Allen back to Huangtong City,

Bai Mingqi would not have set the wedding date so smoothly.

At the very least, Bai Mingqi would have felt some disgust upon seeing Allen and would not have agreed so readily to set a date for the wedding.

So it could be said that Bai Wanting knew her jealousy was meaningless.

Bai Wanting was very grateful to Su Mu in her heart.

Even though her father had set the wedding date without Su Mu’s knowledge,

the fact that things proceeded so smoothly was also due to the name "Su Mu," and the credit rightfully belonged to Su Mu.

Allen, too, was increasingly seeing Su Mu as his lucky star.

It seemed as if any matter could proceed without a hitch as long as it had a slight connection to Su Mu.

Everyone knew the situation, so there was nothing to reveal.

In the end, everyone desired this outcome; after all the hassle Bai Wanting went through, wasn’t she just waiting for her father to agree to her marriage to Allen?

He Jingfen, though reluctant about her daughter getting married far away,

still did not want to see her pregnant daughter trapped in the awkward situation of not having held a wedding ceremony.

Even if time was tight and she was exhausted, He Jingfen felt happy in her heart.

When she was too busy to manage, He Jingfen made a call for help to her sister-in-law.

Jiang Xinxuan’s mother didn’t hesitate at all upon receiving her sister-in-law’s call and headed straight to Huangtong City.

Bai Wanting was Bai Mingyun’s only niece.

Could Bai Mingyun possibly hesitate to help with her niece’s wedding?

As for Jiang Xinxuan’s father, Jiang Maohua, being a man, there wasn’t much he could do even if he arrived early.

Even Bai Mingqi, the biological father, couldn’t offer much help with the minor details, so it was natural that Jiang Maohua, the uncle, would have even less to do.

Besides, Jiang Maohua’s company was bidding for a major project, and as its chairman, it was better for Jiang Maohua to be personally present.

As long as Jiang Maohua arrived in Huangtong City the day before the wedding, the rest was not important.

With this, tomorrow’s trip to Huangtong City became a matter for Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan alone.

"I’ll tell you when I leave home tomorrow," Su Mu said, "Anyway, the trip from Huadong City to Huangtong City isn’t very long, and there’s no need to rush."

Su Mu felt even freer when he realized he and Xuanxuan were the only ones going to Huangtong City tomorrow.

He didn’t even need to consider what time his girlfriend’s parents were planning to leave.

Considering he had plenty of time, Su Mu thought it wouldn’t be too late to accompany his grandfather to practice Tai Chi in the morning before picking up Xuanxuan.

With summer vacation already well underway, Su Mu knew that the time he could spend with Elder Su would decrease once university started again.

While he had the chance, Su Mu believed it was important to spend as much time as possible with his grandfather, who he felt was quite lonely living alone in such a large castle.

Of course, this loneliness pertained to Elder Su’s inner feelings.

If we’re talking about people, there were plenty of servants, drivers, and security in the castle.

But out of all these people, only Ah Fook could really converse with Elder Su.

Su Mu knew that, though his grandfather never said it, deep down he yearned for family affection.

Perhaps at a certain age, the desire for familial bonds does grow stronger.

"Alright, just let me know a bit in advance," Xuanxuan said.

"Su Mu, have you mentioned the trip to Huangtong City to your uncle and aunt?"

"Since we’ll be staying there for a few days, wouldn’t it be improper if your uncle and aunt aren’t informed?"

Jiang Xinxuan thought it best to inform Su Mu’s parents since Su Mu was going to her uncle’s place to help her cousin, and it would take several days; such matters should be communicated to Su Mu’s parents.

Plus, because of the wedding dress matter, Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu’s mother was already aware.

If Su Mu’s mother knew, Jiang Xinxuan was certain Su Mu’s father would know too.

It’s just that Jiang Xinxuan’s uncle had no position to invite Su Mu’s parents to Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding,

and so Bai Mingqi didn’t send out the invitation to Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping.

Who are Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping?

The heads of the Su Family Group—Bai Mingqi knew he didn’t have the clout for such an invitation.

Lacking the clout, Bai Wanting and Allen had even less right to extend the invitation.
