Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 518 - 517 Bigger Surprises

"I don’t mind, in a few days there will definitely be way more people at your cousin’s wedding than at your uncle’s place today, what’s the big deal?"

Su Mu felt that the number of people at Xuanxuan’s uncle’s house was utterly irrelevant to him.

Bai Wanting’s groom is Allen, and the main focus should indeed be on Allen.

Su Mu thought the guests visiting Xuanxuan’s uncle should be paying attention to the bride and groom.

After all, aren’t they there for Bai Wanting’s wedding?

It surely wouldn’t be the case that everyone was focused on him, a stranger, right? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Su Mu figured that Xuanxuan’s uncle said that to Xuanxuan probably because Bai Wanting had told him about the wedding dress matter.

It was, after all, a wedding dress worth more than six million, even though Su Mu had clearly stated that he wouldn’t take any money for it.

But the Bai family would have at least some sense of gratitude.

Therefore, Bai Mingqi’s stance today, in Su Mu’s view, was to express his gratitude for the wedding dress his mother had given to Bai Wanting.

Moreover, Su Mu didn’t want to see his girlfriend in a difficult position.

Su Mu figured that Xuanxuan just wanted to see her mother and the bride, Bai Wanting, sooner.

If that’s the case, just go with the flow—it’s just a change of location for a meal, and Su Mu really didn’t mind.

"Then I won’t make the call for now. If we really get stuck in a traffic jam, I’ll call my uncle to let him know."

"If that happens, my uncle probably won’t insist too much."

What Jiang Xinxuan originally meant was, should they really encounter a traffic jam or similar situation,

she would then call her uncle, and he probably wouldn’t be as agitated anymore.

After all, if there’s a real traffic jam, that would be an unpredictable situation.

It wouldn’t be something Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan did on purpose.

Even if Bai Mingqi was anxious to meet the young master of the Su family, there would be nothing he could do about it then.

Because, no matter how anxious Bai Mingqi might be, he would be helpless in the face of a highway traffic jam.

Jiang Xinxuan thought this would be the best approach.

Of course, if the journey is smooth, she and Su Mu should still be able to reach her uncle’s house before noon.

Jiang Xinxuan knew Su Mu’s driving skills.

Even speed limits on the highway wouldn’t affect Su Mu’s driving.

"Okay."

With Su Mu’s simple affirmation, he pushed the accelerator all the way down.

Both had already buckled their seatbelts while talking, and of course, Su Mu immediately drove away from his girlfriend’s Yulong Lake Villa district.

"Xuanxuan, please input your uncle’s address into the navigation."

This was Su Mu’s first time going to the Bai family in Huangtong City, so of course, he didn’t know the address of Xuanxuan’s uncle’s house.

Right now, Su Mu was just heading toward the expressway to Huangtong City; there was no need for navigation yet.

But once on the expressway, Su Mu thought it was better to have the navigation.

That way, Su Mu wouldn’t need to pay too much attention to the road signs on the highway.

The navigation would tell you very clearly how to proceed.

Especially after leaving the expressway; Su Mu would be even less likely to know which way to go.

Huangtong City is so big, how could Su Mu possibly know the exact address of Xuanxuan’s uncle’s house?

Even if Su Mu knew the exact address, it would be absolutely impossible to find the place without the assistance of the navigation, especially for someone visiting Huangtong City for the first time.

In the age of information, it truly is quite convenient.

As long as you have a network, you’re good to go.

The Ferrari 812 naturally comes with navigation; there’s no need to grab a smartphone and download the corresponding apps.

"Okay."

This wasn’t Jiang Xinxuan’s first time riding in Su Mu’s car.

Plus, Jiang Xinxuan had seen Su Mu use the car’s navigation system several times before.

For a girl like Jiang Xinxuan, who possessed both intelligence and beauty, operating such a device was a breeze, even if she didn’t know how to drive.

She deftly opened the car’s navigation, entered the destination, and pressed the confirmation button.

"Done."

When the car navigation started up, Jiang Xinxuan called out happily.

Truth be told, Jiang Xinxuan was incredibly excited about going to Huangtong City with Su Mu.

Su Mu was already driving towards the highway entrance that led to Huangtong City.

As the navigation commenced its specific reminders, Jiang Xinxuan felt she and Su Mu were getting closer and closer to Huangtong City.

Jiang Xinxuan’s excitement wasn’t because Su Mu’s girlfriend was eager to meet her mother or cousin or anything of that sort.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan’s mother had only been in Huangtong City for a few days.

Jiang Xinxuan was long past the age of being clingy to her mother.

As for her cousin,

it’s true that Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Wanting had a very close relationship.

But after all, they were both grown girls with their own social circles and love lives.

It was natural that they couldn’t be as inseparable as they were when they were children.

So, the reason for Jiang Xinxuan’s excitement wasn’t because she was about to see her mother or cousin.

Jiang Xinxuan was so excited simply because she was going to Huangtong City with Su Mu this time.

The closer they got to Huangtong City, the closer the time came for Jiang Xinxuan to introduce her boyfriend, Su Mu, to her family.

When Bai Wanting first asked Jiang Xinxuan to find a best man, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t anticipated this moment.

Back then, Jiang Xinxuan felt she knew only a few males, mostly her former male classmates.

At school, Jiang Xinxuan was the cold and academically exceptional School Beauty, hardly having any in-depth interaction with other male students.

Of course, except for Su Mu.

Even though Su Mu’s response to Jiang Xinxuan’s initiative wasn’t very enthusiastic back then, it couldn’t hold back Jiang Xinxuan’s girlish affection for him.

Jiang Xinxuan, prodded by her cousin like a duck being pushed onto a perch, reluctantly took on this significant task.

For Jiang Xinxuan, the only ideal candidate she could think of was Su Mu.

Moreover, at that time, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu had also confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Only then did Jiang Xinxuan dare to broach the subject with Su Mu.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan merely wanted to ask for Su Mu’s opinion at first.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that if Su Mu was unwilling, she would have had no choice but to return the task to her cousin.

Because Jiang Xinxuan really had no other options.

Fortunately, Su Mu agreed right away without any hesitation.

This secretly delighted Jiang Xinxuan for quite a while.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu’s prompt agreement to be her cousin’s fiancé’s best man was entirely because of her.

After all, for Su Mu, it’s not to say anything about Allen, that foreigner.

Even as to who Bai Wanting is, Su Mu also has no idea, doesn’t he?

Now, Jiang Xinxuan not only no longer felt troubled by the important task her cousin had entrusted to her at the beginning.

On the contrary, Jiang Xinxuan felt she ought to thank her cousin for giving her such an important task.

Otherwise, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t have thought to invite Su Mu to be Allen’s best man.

If Su Mu weren’t Allen’s best man, not only would her cousin’s marriage to Allen not be able to proceed so smoothly.

You should know, the most important reason Bai Mingqi agreed so readily was because the best man for Allen was Su Mu, the young master of the Su Family enterprise.

Another point, if Su Mu weren’t Allen’s best man, then the one going to Huangtong City now would probably be just Jiang Xinxuan herself.

Or it’s possible that Jiang Xinxuan would have gone with her mother a couple of days ago.

Jiang Xinxuan remembered that at that time, her aunt seemed to have told her mother that she should go along.

Fortunately, Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan definitely wanted to be with Su Mu.

Not to mention that Xuanxuan and Su Mu’s relationship is at its sweetest moment right now, Xuanxuan definitely wouldn’t separate from Su Mu after their romance became public.

Moreover, since Su Mu was originally going to Huangtong City, Jiang Xinxuan had even less reason not to go with Su Mu.

Maybe He Jingfen was just too busy at the time, she even forgot about this matter.

After Bai Mingyun gave a subtle hint, He Jingfen immediately understood.

The final outcome was, of course, that He Jingfen invited only her sister-in-law to go to Huangtong City to help her handle some affairs.

As for her niece Xuanxuan, He Jingfen knew it was definitely not appropriate to ask for her help at that time.

Jiang Xinxuan was very happy with this result.

Her aunt took the initiative to suggest that only her mother should go first, without needing Jiang Xinxuan to accompany her.

This way, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t need to find any excuse to decline her aunt’s suggestion.

If at that time her aunt had insisted on Jiang Xinxuan going to Huangtong City with her mother, Jiang Xinxuan was already considering how to speak to her aunt in her mind.

After all, for Jiang Xinxuan, she was definitely going to go with Su Mu.

If it had been before, when no one knew about her relationship with Su Mu,

and Su Mu obviously couldn’t go with her to her uncle’s home, then Jiang Xinxuan really would have gone with her mother first.

It’s only right for Jiang Xinxuan to go ahead and help out at her cousin’s wedding.

Now that Jiang Xinxuan has a boyfriend, her priorities are of course very clear in her heart.

It’s not that Jiang Xinxuan would abandon her family because she has a boyfriend.

But Jiang Xinxuan felt it was best to go with Su Mu.

Besides, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t understand wedding preparations and felt she wouldn’t be much help anyway.

Fortunately, no one minded; perhaps everyone also felt it would be best for Xuanxuan and Su Mu to go together.

You can’t possibly expect Su Mu, the young master of the Su Family enterprise, to go to Huangtong City alone, right?

If Su Mu asked, even having the Bai Family send a motorcade to pick Su Mu up from Huadong City would be acceptable to them.

But Bai Mingqi wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.

A motorcade? As if the Su Family wouldn’t have more cars than the Bai Family.

Bai Mingqi certainly knew his company seemed quite large to outsiders.

But compared to the Su Family enterprise in Huadong City, it really could be considered a small company.

Bai Mingqi did have this self-awareness.

"Xuanxuan, in a few days, I will take you to meet my grandfather and my parents,"

"You can check when it’s convenient for you."

Su Mu didn’t know that his girlfriend sitting beside him had already thought so much about it.

Su Mu had just remembered what his mother said that night and felt that he indeed should take his girlfriend to meet his grandfather.

It wasn’t as if Su Mu thought he would definitely marry Xuanxuan or anything like that.

It’s just that Xuanxuan was Su Mu’s first girlfriend, and it seemed that the old man was very eager to meet the girlfriend his grandson was dating.

Su Mu felt that he had already met Xuanxuan’s parents.

If the old man wished to meet her, taking Xuanxuan to see him didn’t seem like a big deal.

Nowadays’ society isn’t like that of the ancient times, it’s not necessary to wait until marriage is arranged before bringing someone home to meet the elders.

Nowadays, many young couples often visit each other’s families to hang out and such.

This is also a way to foster relationships.

The elders at home naturally welcome it too; they can at least ensure that their children are seeing someone suitable, checking on the other person’s character and such.

Su Mu didn’t have such thoughts, he was clear about what kind of person Xuanxuan was.

It was only after he started living with his grandfather recently that Su Mu realized how much the old man, living alone in such a large castle for so many years, had craved familial affection.

As for the old man’s wishes, within Su Mu’s capability, he naturally wanted to fulfill them as much as possible.

Now, just bringing his girlfriend home for the old man to see was even less of a concern.

The black Ferrari hadn’t even hit the highway, and there was plenty of time, so Su Mu casually mentioned it to his girlfriend.

Of course, it would definitely be after the two of them returned to Huadong City from Huangtong City.

"Really?"

Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t expected Su Mu to suddenly come out with such a statement.

Jiang Xinxuan’s heart was still rejoicing over the fact that Su Mu had agreed to visit her uncle with her.

Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t expected that Su Mu had an even bigger surprise waiting for her.

"I can do it anytime, just see when your grandfather is available,"

As if afraid that Su Mu would change his mind, Jiang Xinxuan quickly added another sentence.

Seeing his girlfriend’s anxious face, Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

"Su Mu, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"Or were you just joking with me? You don’t really intend to take me to meet your grandfather?"

Seeing Su Mu laugh all of a sudden because of her words, Jiang Xinxuan’s heart knotted up.

Could it be that she was overthinking things?

Was Su Mu purely joking with her?

Jiang Xinxuan truly wanted to visit Su Mu’s grandfather and his parents.

For Jiang Xinxuan, it was a confirmation of her status in Su Mu’s life.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that if she officially met Su Mu’s grandfather and his parents, her identity as Su Mu’s girlfriend would be acknowledged by his family.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan had actually already met Su Mu’s parents.

But since Su Mu’s parents had pressing matters, Jiang Xinxuan felt that visit was just Su Mu showing her around, not a formal meeting.

So, Jiang Xinxuan had been waiting for Su Mu to invite her to his home to meet his grandfather and parents.

Now, having waited so long for Su Mu to speak up, Jiang Xinxuan somewhat disheartenedly realized that Su Mu might have just been teasing her.
