Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 521 - 520 Unimpeded
Chapter 521: Chapter 520 Unimpeded
"My parents don’t know you personally, but your name often comes up in my household."
"It’s just that my parents didn’t know about us dating at the time, so I just listened on the side without saying anything."
Jiang Xinxuan honestly answered Su Mu’s question.
"They often talk about me? In my memory, your mother definitely hasn’t met me."
"As for your dad, I think he has only seen me at the Su Family Group’s banquets, but even then, he probably just glanced at me from a distance. I don’t recall any uncle with the Jiang surname coming up to talk to me."
"You’ve already said you didn’t join the conversation, so it has nothing to do with you."
"What do your parents usually say about me?"
Su Mu was puzzled—both Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun were elders, and quite the big bosses at that.
Why would they have the time to frequently discuss someone they barely knew at home?
Was there something about him that particularly attracted Xuanxuan’s parents?
Su Mu really couldn’t think of a specific reason for a moment.
"It’s because of your bold moves and your foresight in buying up that large plot of land in the Metro Economic Circle around subway line five."
"From the way my parents spoke, it seemed like my dad also wanted to buy that plot of land from you."
"But in the end, you sold it to your own family’s company."
Jiang Xinxuan remembered that after she and her mother returned to Huangtong City from their trip, her father brought up this matter at the dinner table with her mother.
Of course, Jiang Maohua didn’t complain about Su Mu not selling the land to him.
When Jiang Maohua spoke of Su Mu to Bai Mingyun, it was all in praise of him.
Jiang Maohua also highly agreed with the decision Su Mu eventually made.
If Su Mu hadn’t sold the land to his own company but had instead sold it to Jiang Maohua,
that’s what would have seemed odd to him.
So, in the Jiang Family, all the discussions about Su Mu were in admiration of him.
Comments like how Su Mu had a great eye and a keen business acumen.
In fact, according to Jiang Maohua, Su Mu’s business acumen was even sharper than those who had been scrambling in the business world for decades.
Think about it—just a few days after Su Mu finalized the paperwork for that piece of land, the information on subway line five was announced.
It can be said that the money Su Mu used to buy the land was never idle.
It wasn’t just a case of good luck and having spare family funds,
buying a piece of land, holding onto it for a few years, then just happening to catch the construction of the new subway line. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Su Mu’s money had barely settled before it multiplied several times over.
It couldn’t be considered idle money just waiting to make a profit.
In Jiang Maohua’s view, there must have been something Su Mu noticed, which is why he was so eager to buy that plot of land.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the Su Family Group.
If it were the wisdom of the Su Family Group that noticed something, then it would have been the Group taking action, not Su Mu.
If it were the Su Family Group dealing, Jiang Maohua knew it wouldn’t just be about a single piece of land.
After all, Su Mu represented an individual, and compared to the Su Family Group, that was different.
Therefore, when Jiang Maohua spoke to his wife about the young master of the Su Family, Su Mu, he was full of commendation.
Because Jiang Maohua said so much, Bai Mingyun was filled with curiosity about this mysterious young master of the Su Family.
Previously, Bai Mingyun had never heard about the existence of a young master in the Su Corporation.
At that time, Bai Mingyun even discussed privately with her husband, wondering how, given Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping’s age, the two had not had a child.
After all, with such a huge fortune lying with the Su Family, whether a boy or a girl, there surely needed to be an heir, right?
Once Bai Mingyun became aware of the existence of the Su Family’s young master, she truly felt that she was just worrying unnecessarily.
Didn’t the Su Corporation have an heir?
According to her husband’s description, not only did the Su Corporation have an heir, but they also had an extremely outstanding one at that.
Bai Mingyun also hoped in her heart that the Su Corporation would hold another banquet, so she could also meet this mysterious young master.
But Bai Mingyun also knew that Chairman Su of the Su Corporation and Director Bai were generally low-profile.
Over the years, the banquets held by the Su Corporation could really be counted on one’s fingers.
Therefore, Bai Mingyun lost an opportunity to see the true face of the Su Family’s young master because of Bai Wanting’s issue.
Another chance like this would be quite rare indeed.
The regret in Bai Mingyun’s heart was naturally imaginable.
Yet, what Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua did not know was that the Su Family’s young master they had always wanted to meet, but had not been able to, was actually their daughter’s boyfriend.
When they found out this news, the shock in both Jiang Maohua’s and Bai Mingyun’s hearts simply couldn’t be described in words.
Knowing they couldn’t force Xuanxuan to invite Su Mu over, Bai Mingyun could only ask her daughter to discuss it with Su Mu.
To Bai Mingyun’s surprise, Su Mu agreed immediately.
This led to the later situation where Su Mu visited the Jiang Family.
"It seems like your dad really cares about that plot of land, he even knew I sold it to my dad, not just gave it to him."
Su Mu didn’t find anything odd when his girlfriend said this.
He would definitely prioritize his family when it came to land he owned.
Actually, even if his dad hadn’t offered a high price, Su Mu would have still sold that plot of land to his family’s company.
Su Mu had decided to sell it precisely because he understood the importance of that piece of land.
It was just unfortunate that at the time, his parents were busy with the company’s IPO and didn’t focus on the economic value of the plot of land he mentioned.
Since the information was provided by the system, Su Mu couldn’t just tell his parents that the number five metro would definitely be built there.
If his parents pressed for the source of the information, Su Mu admitted he wouldn’t be able to explain.
After all, it was only a personal purchase, and Su Mu’s actions couldn’t be too grand.
Securing the most central plot for purchase was already the best he could do.
Su Mu knew that even if Xuanxuan had called him at the time.
If his dad hadn’t wanted that plot of land, Su Mu would certainly not have said much more.
You should know that back then, Xuanxuan’s dad had offered a very reasonable price, giving Su Mu no reason to refuse.
But the Su Corporation also intended to develop the Metro Economic Circle of route number five.
So, even if it had been Xuanxuan who called Su Mu, the result would have been the same.
"I remember such an incident, your father did call someone close to my grandfather at the time, probably because your father didn’t know about my relationship with you, nor did he know how to contact me."
Su Mu nodded, affirming he remembered the situation.
He wouldn’t pretend he didn’t know about it just because he didn’t sell the plot of land to his girlfriend’s dad in the end.
"I remember your father’s offer was also quite high back then, and I was actually planning to sell the land directly to your father."
"Coincidentally, my dad also called saying he wanted to acquire that piece of land."
"So, in the end, I gave the land to the Su Family Group."
Su Mu wasn’t trying to explain anything to his girlfriend; he was simply telling the truth.
In Su Mu’s view, his actions were perfectly normal.
If Jiang Xinxuan had been in charge of the decision, Su Mu believed that Xuanxuan would certainly have chosen her own family in the end as well.
Su Mu didn’t think Xuanxuan would get upset over something like this.
After all, it really had nothing to do with Xuanxuan.
Even if the person wanting to buy the land from him was Xuanxuan’s father.
Business is business; they’re separate matters, and it wasn’t something for Jiang Xinxuan to get upset about.
"I heard about this from my dad too, and he said you did the right thing,"
Jiang Xinxuan nodded, agreeing with what Su Mu had said, which she already knew.
"It seems your father has gathered quite detailed information about my business."
"He wasn’t already thinking about introducing me to you at that time, was he?"
"But then he learned we were actually dating already, so he didn’t bring it up?"
Su Mu was clearly joking.
"How could my dad think like that? You make it sound as if I couldn’t find anyone to want me."
Jiang Xinxuan muttered somewhat dissatisfied.
Her own father simply admired Su Mu a lot; that’s why he paid extra attention to him.
How could that have anything to do with her?
Jiang Xinxuan knew that if she had not been dating Su Mu, her parents would probably still consider her too young to date.
Of course, since Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend was Su Mu, her parents had not uttered a single word of opposition from the moment they learned she had a boyfriend to the present.
With Xuanxuan’s boyfriend being Su Mu, what more could Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun say?
Forget opposition, both of them were entirely supportive.
As Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan drove to the Bai Family in Huangtong City, they chatted all the way.
The two lovebirds naturally had endless topics of conversation.
Especially Jiang Xinxuan, who was always overjoyed simply being with Su Mu, even if they did nothing at all.
Not to mention, Su Mu was now taking her to visit her own uncle’s home.
For Jiang Xinxuan, it felt like returning to her maternal home.
Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t married Su Mu yet, so of course, there couldn’t actually be talk of returning to her maternal home.
But Jiang Xinxuan felt that visiting her uncle’s home with Su Mu shared a similar sentiment to returning to her maternal home.
After all, her uncle’s home was part of the Jiang Family, wasn’t it?
Didn’t that equate to a feeling somewhat like the bride’s family?
Of course, this trip was for Su Mu to be a groomsman for Allen at the Bai residence in Huangtong City. Any notion of returning to her maternal home was simply Jiang Xinxuan’s personal fantasy.
The distance from Huadong City to Huangtong City wasn’t actually too far.
And with Su Mu’s Champion Driving Skill, even though he stuck to the speed limit on the highway,
he was still much faster than the average driver.
After all, apart from the highway’s speed limit, all other road conditions were a piece of cake for Su Mu.
He couldn’t even recall if he had ever had to brake on the highway.
Indeed, driving on the highway felt much better to Su Mu than driving in the city.
It was basically smooth and unobstructed.
However, it still wasn’t quite the same as the mountain roads in the wealthy districts.
...
"Su Mu, just take a left up ahead, and we’ll be at my uncle’s villa,"
Perhaps due to the Bai Family’s celebration, there were already quite a few visitors coming and going.
Bai Mingqi must have mentioned it to the guards at the villa entrance, because when Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan drove in,
Jiang Xinxuan just reported her uncle’s name and the guards let them through without further question.
To the guard, anyone who could drive a Ferrari 812 Superfast surely had to be super wealthy.
And it’s not like such super wealthy individuals would have nothing better to do than to loiter aimlessly around a villa area.
Besides, since she could mention Bai Mingqi by name, she was undoubtedly headed to the Bai residence.
Moreover, the guard did have some recognition of Jiang Xinxuan.
A big beauty like Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t commonly seen even in a rich person’s villa community.
And although Jiang Xinxuan and her mother might not visit her uncle’s home frequently, they still came around two or three times a year.
The guard didn’t dare to casually greet the beautiful lady, but he also didn’t make it difficult for the lovely couple and just let them through.
In this kind of wealthy villa community, although Bai Mingqi had indeed given prior notice,
the guards would usually check the guest’s credentials before granting access.
With Su Mu, however, the guard didn’t ask any further questions before letting them in, which was really an exception.
One reason was that the guard was somewhat familiar with Jiang Xinxuan.
Another reason was that none of the guests heading to the Bai residence had approached in as flashy and domineering a Ferrari 812 Superfast as Su Mu.
For the guard, owning such an extravagant supercar was out of the question.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t appreciate a good thing.
The guard had recognized the eye-catching black Ferrari 812 Superfast as soon as it appeared at the villa community gate.
For a villa community guard like him, having a keen sense of judgment was indeed necessary.
This keen sense was about assessing the wealth of those entering and leaving the community through external indicators.
Although it might not be 100% accurate, it was generally very close.
At the very least, the guard knew that people who rode in fancier cars were definitely not short on cash.
As the Ferrari 812 Superfast made its way into the community, the guard even bent over and gestured politely.
Because of this gesture, he was so astonished that he stood there, unable to straighten up for quite some time.
The guard had naturally assumed that a luxurious car should be paired with a beautiful woman; the woman sitting in the car was just as expected.
But when the guard bent over, he finally dared to take a proper look at the owner of the Ferrari.
