Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 527 - 526: The Gap

"Cousin, I know that Uncle’s change in attitude is all because Su Mu agreed to be Allen’s best man."

"But Su Mu still doesn’t know about this, and with Uncle making such a big fuss now, I don’t know what Su Mu might be thinking."

Jiang Xinxuan watched Su Mu, who was walking ahead and chatting with Allen.

From the occasional turn of Su Mu’s face towards Allen, Jiang Xinxuan could tell that Su Mu didn’t seem unhappy at all.

There was even a faint smile on Su Mu’s face.

It seemed that Su Mu and Allen got along quite well.

Jiang Xinxuan thought to himself.

Jiang Xinxuan just didn’t know whether Su Mu would find his Uncle’s grand preparations a bit too much once he saw them.

If Su Mu didn’t like this kind of scene, Jiang Xinxuan felt he shouldn’t have made that call to his mother this morning.

Jiang Xinxuan simply wanted to give his Uncle and the others a heads up that he and Su Mu were coming to Huangtong City today.

What Jiang Xinxuan didn’t expect was that his Uncle really took the preparation seriously.

But maybe a little too seriously.

So many people, without knowing exactly when Su Mu would return to the Bai Family,

were actually all neatly standing at the gate of the Bai Family Villa waiting. Jiang Xinxuan thought it was a bit over the top.

Now, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure if Su Mu would be annoyed by Uncle’s exaggerated gesture.

But for now, Jiang Xinxuan saw no signs of upset from Su Mu.

The worry that Jiang Xinxuan had was somewhat alleviated.

What Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know was that Su Mu didn’t take any of it to heart.

To Su Mu, Xuanxuan’s Uncle’s actions were indeed a bit extravagant.

But Su Mu couldn’t very well tell an elder that what he did was not good, could he?

Since they were so enthusiastic about welcoming him, Su Mu could only accept it.

Although Su Mu was still not quite sure about the real reason behind Xuanxuan’s Uncle’s warm welcome,

Su Mu knew that Xuanxuan’s Uncle meant well, and that was enough.

After all, one shouldn’t slap a smiling face.

How could Su Mu possibly be unhappy when someone was being overly enthusiastic with him?

Besides, Bai Mingqi’s excessive enthusiasm wasn’t without bounds.

Bai Mingqi just stood with a crowd at the villa gate to welcome Su Mu.

He didn’t circle around Su Mu or disturb him in any way after he got out of the car.

Naturally, Su Mu wasn’t going to make any comments.

"Su Mu doesn’t know that my father’s change of heart about me and Allen’s marriage is because of him?"

"So, does Su Mu also not know how much my father admires his grandfather?"

"Xuanxuan, you didn’t tell Su Mu such important things?"

Bai Wanting was very surprised by her cousin’s words.

If Su Mu knew nothing, then the Bai Family’s preparations today would indeed seem quite strange to him.

All of a sudden, Bai Wanting was also a bit worried that Su Mu might have other thoughts upon seeing her father’s odd behavior.

"Cousin, I simply didn’t have the chance to mention this."

When Jiang Xinxuan said this, she felt a bit guilty.

Because on the way, Su Mu had mentioned that after returning from Huangtong City, he would formally introduce her to his grandfather and his parents.

Jiang Xinxuan was so excited that she forgot to remind her uncle of his extraordinary admiration for the Su Family.

Now facing her cousin’s questions, Jiang Xinxuan lowered her head slightly.

Jiang Xinxuan was too embarrassed to directly tell her cousin that she was about to meet her future in-laws and the big BOSS of the Su Family, Elder Su.

Jiang Xinxuan had not even thought to explain to Su Mu the reason behind her uncle’s potential over-enthusiastic behavior after arriving in Huangtong City.

Since she had not mentioned her uncle’s admiration for Elder Su, Jiang Xinxuan naturally also forgot to tell Su Mu that her uncle had so quickly changed his opinion about her cousin’s marriage to Allen, solely because Su Mu would be Allen’s best man.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Xinxuan herself felt a bit embarrassed.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that if she had informed Su Mu ahead of time,

at least Su Mu would have been prepared.

Seeing her uncle’s exaggerated actions, Su Mu might not have found anything strange at all.

Jiang Xinxuan silently felt relieved that her boyfriend’s mental fortitude was strong enough not to be scared by her uncle’s "human wave tactic."

If an ordinary person arrived at the house of what was essentially a stranger, and encountered such a situation before even entering the door,

more importantly, when Su Mu saw the crowd standing at the entrance of the Bai Family Villa, he had no idea what was going on.

That person probably would not have dared to enter, right?

But Su Mu got out of the car without changing his facial expression or skipping a beat.

Su Mu acted very calmly, not looking the slightest bit scared.

Because of Su Mu’s reaction, Jiang Xinxuan also forgot about the "mistake" she had made.

Now that her cousin had reminded her, Jiang Xinxuan started reflecting deeply.

"I forgot to say it."

Knowing that this reason seemed far-fetched, but unable to find any other explanation, Jiang Xinxuan lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Xuanxuan, what’s wrong? Are you tired from the trip?"

Bai Mingyun, who was walking behind them, had been closely observing Su Mu and her daughter’s every move.

Bai Mingyun also worried that the large spectacle her brother had put on might make Su Mu uncomfortable.

At first, Bai Mingyun wanted to persuade her brother.

If it were just her brother’s family and her own, Bai Mingyun thought that standing at the door to welcome Su Mu wouldn’t have been an issue.

The problem was that there were simply too many people from the Bai Family today.

Even though Bai Mingqi had sent away most of the people, the number remaining at the Bai Family home was still quite significant.

The scale of such a gathering at the door, without even thinking about it, was clearly known to be extensive.

However, Bai Mingyun knew that she simply could not persuade her brother.

Moreover, Bai Mingyun felt that her future son-in-law deserved such a ceremony.

Pride in her heart outweighed a trace of worry, and Bai Mingyun thus refrained from expressing any opinion.

There was also another reason; Bai Mingyun had assumed that her daughter would introduce the Bai Family’s situation to Su Mu on the way to Huangtong City.

Of course, the focus was on introducing his admiration for the Su Family.

Bai Mingyun thought that if Su Mu knew about these things, he would not be so surprised to see the grand entrance at the Bai Family’s doorstep.

So, when Bai Mingyun saw Su Mu getting out of the car with a calm expression, he thought he had guessed right.

Su Mu was prepared for his brother’s performance.

Seeing that everyone looked at his future son-in-law with eager to please expressions, Bai Mingyun felt even prouder.

Now Su Mu and Allen were walking at the front, with Bai Wanting and Jiang Xinxuan following behind.

Bai Mingyun’s attention naturally focused on his daughter.

Without a daughter, where would a son-in-law come from?

Jiang Xinxuan was the treasured pearl in the palms of Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua, and now of course, she was even more so.

Bai Mingyun saw his daughter get out of the car with a smile at first.

Then she also helped Bai Wanting walk towards the villa’s gate with a face full of smiles.

Of course, because of Su Mu, Su Mu and Allen were at the forefront.

On normal days, Allen would certainly not enjoy such treatment.

In the Bai Family, even if Allen really married Bai Wanting, the real master would not be Allen, but Bai Mingqi.

But since Su Mu had clearly expressed that he and Allen were friends,

compared to Bai Mingqi, who was not as familiar with Su Mu, Allen’s position was now much more important.

Thus, Allen was now leading the Bai Family’s most honored guest, Su Mu, toward the inside of the villa like a host.

Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen had no objections whatsoever.

For Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen, it was more than joyful to see their son-in-law express an out-of-the-ordinary relationship with the young master of the Su Family; how could they possibly have any differing opinions?

Bai Mingyun walked behind Bai Wanting and Jiang Xinxuan with his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Bai Mingyun did not interrupt his daughter and niece’s whispering conversation, because in his view, it was normal for the two cousins to talk about girly things, which did not necessitate undue attention.

Because of Su Mu, Bai Mingyun also had to divert some attention to deal with those relatives who were desperately trying to please him.

Bai Mingyun certainly knew that these relatives were so eager to please him because of Su Mu.

If Su Mu were not his daughter’s boyfriend, these relatives would normally just exchange pleasantries.

To have these people flatter Bai Mingyun was not at all realistic.

Indeed, Bai Mingyun’s husband was also a construction magnate in Huadong City.

But this was Huangtong City, and the Bai Family’s relatives were also people with status and standing.

When compared to Bai Mingyun’s husband, they were not necessarily inferior.

So, to expect these people to fawn over Bai Mingyun, there had to be a very special and significant figure, and what’s more, this figure had to have a special relationship with Bai Mingyun.

Now, Su Mu was the significant figure in the eyes of these Bai Family relatives.

And indeed, Su Mu met the criteria of having an extraordinary relationship with Bai Mingyun.

Su Mu was Bai Mingyun’s daughter’s boyfriend; if this connection wasn’t strong enough, then they could only wait until Jiang Xinxuan married Su Mu.

But truly, if they waited until that day to start flattering Bai Mingyun,

the Bai Family’s relatives were not fools, of course they knew by then it would be too late.

Bai Mingyun was dealing with some overly enthusiastic relatives while keeping an eye on the four young people’s actions in front of her.

When she noticed her daughter suddenly bowing her head and the smile on her face disappearing, Bai Mingyun subconsciously thought that Xuanxuan must be feeling unwell.

Because Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan and Bai Wanting, the two sisters, had been very close since childhood.

Bai Mingyun remembered that even though her niece had a rather impatient personality,

it seemed like Xuanxuan and her cousin had never really had any squabbles from childhood to adulthood.

Of course, Bai Mingyun wouldn’t think that Xuanxuan’s sudden bowing of her head and the disappearance of the smile on her face were due to a conflict with her cousin.

Bai Mingyun wouldn’t even believe that the cousins could harbor any negative feelings toward each other.

Bai Mingyun understood her own daughter quite well.

Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan was a child who understood the bigger picture.

With Bai Wanting’s wedding just a few days away, it was even less likely that Xuanxuan would have a conflict with her cousin at such a time.

Bai Wanting too, had always taken care of Xuanxuan in the role of an elder sister.

Adding to the fact that today Xuanxuan and Su Mu had come to be bridesmaids and groomsmen for her wedding, Bai Mingyun felt that Bai Wanting wouldn’t say anything inappropriate to Xuanxuan.

Therefore, seeing her daughter’s behavior, Bai Mingyun subconsciously assumed that Xuanxuan might have gotten tired on the way over.

But then Bai Mingyun remembered that Su Mu had been driving.

Ever since her daughter had obtained her driver’s license, she had hardly ever really driven a car.

The Porsche sports car that Jiang Xinxuan bought to celebrate passing her driving test was still parked nicely in the courtyard of the Jiang family villa.

Jiang Xinxuan had never once driven it out.

Once, Bai Mingyun even teased her daughter, feeling that Xuanxuan buying that Porsche sports car was purely a waste of space.

After all, a white Porsche sports car gets dirty very easily.

Although Jiang Xinxuan herself had never driven it, the Jiang family’s driver had taken it out quite a few times.

Of course, there was only one purpose for the Jiang family’s driver to take Jiang Xinxuan’s Porsche sports car out, and that was to wash the white Porsche until it was spotless.

As if Jiang Xinxuan would impulsively decide to drive her beloved car out at any moment.

Bai Mingyun knew her daughter’s driving skills were very raw and, of course, Xuanxuan would be even less likely to drive on the highway.

Moreover, Bai Mingyun had seen it clearly just before that Xuanxuan got out of the passenger side.

Bai Mingyun knew that Su Mu wouldn’t let his girlfriend drive either.

Bai Mingyun was convinced that Su Mu was very clear about Xuanxuan’s driving skills.

Sometimes Bai Mingyun found it strange that she had heard Xuanxuan say that Su Mu had gotten his driver’s license around the same time as her.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, Su Mu indeed hadn’t received his license much earlier than she had; they pretty much got them around the same time.

But it seemed that there was more than a little difference in driving skills between Su Mu and Xuanxuan.

Bai Mingyun had never truly witnessed Su Mu’s driving skills.

If Bai Mingyun had seen Su Mu and He Qiya racing on the mountain roads, she certainly wouldn’t have the courage to compare her daughter’s driving skills with Su Mu’s.

This wasn’t just a slight gap.

This was a gap of many times over.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Xinxuan’s driving skills were too embarrassing to even mention in front of Su Mu.

Not to mention making a comparison.
