Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 526 - 525: A Willing Matter

"Su Mu, Allen truly wants to thank you, and I am also very grateful that you could come to Huangtong City to be the best man at our wedding with Allen."

Although Su Mu said it was no big deal, Bai Wanting still stepped forward to express her and Allen’s gratitude towards Su Mu.

Bai Wanting, of course, understood even better than Allen the very reason that their wedding turned out to be so ceremonious.

So, when her own father heard that the young master of the Su Family Group would be Allen’s best man,

Bai Wanting saw the gleaming look in her father’s eyes and knew that her and Allen’s wedding was set.

Bai Wanting felt that just the name "Su Mu" was far more useful than the little life she was counting on in her belly.

After all, the little one in Bai Wanting’s stomach wasn’t born yet, and it was not too realistic to say that Bai Mingqi currently had much affection for his future granddaughter or grandson.

Moreover, the seed in Bai Wanting’s stomach was sown by Allen, and naturally, Bai Mingqi initially had some unpleasant impressions of this little life.

Even though the sower was a foreigner he didn’t like.

Bai Mingqi knew that if he let his daughter marry Allen, it was not just about his daughter’s baby being mixed-race and no longer purely of his nation.

Even the communication with his son-in-law, Bai Mingqi felt, was not very pleasant.

Therefore, Bai Mingqi, who had this mentality from the start, how could he suddenly come to like his little unborn grandchild, be it a boy or a girl?

At that time, seeing her father’s vehement opposition, honestly, Bai Wanting’s heart also felt terrible.

Bai Wanting was not someone who only thought of love and not of family.

Seeing the closest person to her being so dissatisfied with the future husband she had chosen, Bai Wanting, apart from the strength she showed on the surface, also felt very struck internally.

Even though Bai Wanting and Allen temporarily moved to Huadong City with her aunt, Bai Wanting still couldn’t help but secretly wipe away tears when nobody was watching.

Bai Wanting had thought that her ploy of "getting on the bus before buying a ticket" would make her parents accept Allen a bit more easily.

But reality told Bai Wanting that she had oversimplified things.

Bai Wanting thought that she would just go through with her wedding to Allen under her father’s reluctant attitude.

Bai Wanting knew that because of her pregnancy, even if her father was reluctant in his heart, in the end, he would certainly nod his head, however grudgingly.

It was knowing this that Bai Wanting stubbornly made herself into a "trendsetter" who got pregnant before marriage.

Bai Wanting knew she had bet correctly when her mother came to Huadong City to take her and Allen back to Huangtong City.

What Bai Wanting hadn’t expected was that, because of the name "Su Mu," her father’s attitude had undergone a complete 180-degree turn.

Bai Mingqi was no longer reluctantly accepting, in fact, he went against his usual behavior and started making arrangements for Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding.

Even the date of the wedding was personally set by Bai Mingqi.

Bai Mingqi not only personally scheduled the wedding date but also aimed for it to be as soon as possible.

Sensing the change in her father’s attitude, the unspoken grievance in Bai Wanting’s heart dissipated like smoke in thin air.

Who wouldn’t want their marriage to be blessed by their family?

Bai Wanting certainly did as well.

Now, the "thank you" Bai Wanting said to Su Mu was truly from the bottom of her heart.

"Happy wedded bliss."

The groom-to-be and the bride-to-be were both eager to say "thank you" to Su Mu, who just had to accept it.

It’s not like the three of them could stand at the villa’s entrance forever exchanging "thank yous" and "no need to thank me," right?

Su Mu thought that would be utterly boring.

"Cousin, let’s go inside and talk. It’s pretty hot standing at the door, and everyone’s been waiting," he said.

Jiang Xinxuan was certainly the one who knew Su Mu best among them all.

Seeing how Su Mu reacted, Jiang Xinxuan understood that he didn’t want to keep hearing his cousin and Allen say "thank you" and the like.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that since Su Mu had agreed to be Allen’s best man from the start, he had no intention of having Allen and Bai Wanting thank him endlessly.

Now, Bai Wanting and Allen were not only thinking about thanking Su Mu; they even considered him a lifesaver in their hearts.

Of course, Bai Wanting and Allen’s attitude towards Su Mu was extremely "devout."

Jiang Xinxuan realized that Su Mu considered Allen a friend; otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought about giving Allen a wedding gift.

If it were just about being a best man, Su Mu would definitely not have gone to buy a wedding gift for Allen personally.

Since they were all friends, it was perfectly normal for friends to help each other out.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu didn’t like that kind of empty back-and-forth thanking.

Of course, what Allen and Bai Wanting said wasn’t just empty talk; their words were truly heartfelt.

From their tone and attitude, Su Mu could naturally tell this as well.

"Right, right, Su Mu, Xuanxuan, let’s go inside and talk. Although it’s not blazing hot today, it’s still somewhat warm, so let’s not keep standing outside talking," urged Bai Wanting.

Bai Wanting stood tiredly, supporting her lower back for a while.

Although Bai Wanting wasn’t showing yet, standing for so long was very tiring indeed.

"Cousin, let me help you," offered Jiang Xinxuan.

As a girl, Jiang Xinxuan was naturally far more attentive than a bunch of grown men.

Seeing her cousin support her lower back with her hand, Jiang Xinxuan understood that she was tired from standing.

Jiang Xinxuan had no idea how long her uncle and cousin had been standing at the villa entrance.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t specified to her uncle over the phone the exact time she and Su Mu would depart.

Since even Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure herself, how could she possibly inform her uncle?

Besides, when Bai Mingqi heard that Su Mu was coming to Huangtong City in the morning, he was so excited he didn’t even think to ask his niece about her specific departure time with Su Mu.

If Bai Mingqi had known the exact time Su Mu and Xuanxuan were leaving, he could have estimated when they would arrive in Huangtong City.

That way, even if Bai Mingqi wanted to have everyone at the villa entrance to greet Su Mu, he would at least have a sense of the timing.

Unfortunately, Bai Mingqi didn’t ask, and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t say.

For Jiang Xinxuan, it never crossed her mind that her uncle would go to such lengths.

Jiang Xinxuan was aware of how much her uncle cared about Su Mu coming to Huangtong City.

But Jiang Xinxuan had never expected her uncle to care to such an extent.

He was actually standing at the villa’s entrance to welcome them personally.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, they might even think that the Bai Family was expecting some high-level leader today.

Of course, for Bai Mingqi, Su Mu was much more important than any high-level leader.

Jiang Xinxuan did not know exactly how long her uncle and cousin had been standing there.

But seeing her cousin’s appearance, Jiang Xinxuan understood that it must have been a considerable amount of time.

If her uncle had timed it according to the call she made, Jiang Xinxuan guessed that they must have been standing at the entrance of the villa for at least half an hour.

From the time Su Mu sent a WeChat message to the time he drove to pick up Jiang Xinxuan, that duration was definitely more than half an hour.

Because of Su Mu’s superior driving skills, the time spent on the highway was indeed less than that of an average driver.

Based on that, Jiang Xinxuan felt that her uncle must have been standing there for about half an hour.

"Cousin, how long have you guys been standing here?"

Because of everyone’s courtesy, Su Mu and Allen were the first to walk toward the villa’s main gate.

Jiang Xinxuan was supporting Bai Wanting and followed behind.

Supporting her cousin, who obviously looked somewhat tired, Jiang Xinxuan asked softly in her cousin’s ear.

Jiang Xinxuan was indeed curious about how long exactly her uncle had been waiting outside with so many people.

"It’s been more than half an hour, I guess. Your uncle started counting the time as soon as he received your call."

"Then, he sent away those relatives who are not so close. Xuanxuan, you probably also know how frequently those relatives usually visit; they came every day this time because they heard something about it. They knew that the young master of the Su Corporation was coming back to the Bai Family to be the best man, so they came here to report every day."

"Their purpose, of course, isn’t really to help, as they verbally claim. Coming here every day, they just want to meet Su Mu as soon as possible."

"Their aim is to establish some connection with Su Mu before the wedding, as they surely won’t get a chance when the wedding comes, since Su Mu will definitely not have time to deal with those people then."

"My dad thought there were too many people and was afraid that Su Mu would feel uncomfortable, so he sent them all away."

"The ones left are those who really couldn’t be sent away; we all have family ties, and there is regular contact. When people cling on and refuse to leave, my dad really had no choice."

"The current number of people here is really the limit of what my dad can manage. Xuanxuan, you should explain to Su Mu later."

Perhaps also worried that Su Mu might mind, Bai Wanting felt it was better to let Xuanxuan explain to Su Mu.

"I understand, cousin. But you’ve been standing for so long, and you have a little baby in your belly. Why don’t you go in and rest for a while?"

"Uncle didn’t even know the exact time Su Mu and I were arriving in Huangtong City. Why did he insist on standing at the gate waiting?"

"If Su Mu and I were an hour or so late, would uncle continue to stand at the gate waiting?"

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her uncle was too inconsiderate of her cousin, letting a pregnant woman stand outside in the sweltering heat, which was rather cruel.

"No, my dad told me not to come out, but I felt that I should come out to welcome Su Mu."

"Xuanxuan, you should understand, the smooth progress of mine and Allen’s wedding owes a lot to Su Mu’s efforts."

Because Jiang Xinxuan mentioned the little life in her belly, and since Bai Wanting indeed felt somewhat tired,

Bai Wanting subconsciously touched her stomach.

Bai Wanting certainly had no intention of speaking on behalf of her father.

Indeed, when Bai Mingqi was preparing to lead everyone out to welcome Su Mu, he considered his daughter’s condition as a pregnant woman.

Bai Mingqi himself was not sure when exactly Su Mu would return to Huangtong City.

For Bai Mingqi to stand at the villa’s entrance to welcome Su Mu, of course, he needed to be early.

Therefore, Bai Mingqi had said that Bai Wanting could wait in the living room first, and come out when Su Mu and Xuanxuan arrived.

After all, both Bai Mingqi and Su Mu were aware of Bai Wanting’s situation.

Bai Mingqi felt that Su Mu probably wouldn’t mind this special "consideration" for Wanting.

Because she was filled with gratitude towards Su Mu, Bai Wanting did not accept her father’s special care.

Bai Wanting felt that since everyone else had gone out to wait for Su Mu, she shouldn’t be overly fussy either.

Besides, Su Mu was coming to Huangtong City for her and Allen’s wedding, and Bai Wanting felt that she should be the one standing at the door welcoming Su Mu more than anyone else.

Because of Bai Wanting’s insistence, Bai Mingqi did not say much more.

He simply said that if Bai Wanting felt uncomfortable, she should go inside and rest.

Bai Wanting had no idea when Su Mu and Xuanxuan would actually arrive.

Bai Wanting was afraid that just as she turned around to go back into the villa, Su Mu and Xuanxuan would arrive.

So, with this psychological suggestion, Bai Wanting was steadfast in waiting for Su Mu’s vehicle to appear.

Bai Wanting kept telling herself that if she just held on a little longer, Su Mu and Xuanxuan would be there.

This holding on for "a little longer" suddenly turned into over half an hour.

To be honest, if Bai Wanting weren’t already such a stubborn girl, she might not have lasted until now.

Bai Wanting felt that even if she had to stand for another half hour waiting to welcome Su Mu, it was the least she could do.

Not to mention that thanks to Su Mu, Bai Wanting had obtained the wedding dress of her dreams.

More importantly, because of Su Mu, her father’s attitude towards Allen had fundamentally changed.

This change was something Bai Wanting and Allen couldn’t buy for any amount of money.

How ecstatic Bai Wanting felt inside was imaginable.

Both Bai Wanting and Allen fully supported her father’s request for the family to go out and wait to welcome Su Mu.

Bai Wanting and Allen did not think that standing at the door waiting for Su Mu was a waste of time at all.

Su Mu could now be considered Bai Wanting and Allen’s benefactor.

Of course, the other people in the Bai Family had no objections to Bai Mingqi’s decision either.

These people had been frequenting the Bai family home over the past few days.

Today, even when Bai Mingqi was urging them to leave, they were reluctant to part with the Bai family home, insisting on staying, all for the chance to meet the young master of the Su Family, right?

Therefore, going out to welcome the young master of the Su Family was something everyone was willing to do.
