Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 530 - 529: Provoked

Of course, Bai Mingyun was also clear about the real intentions of Xiao Wu and that strong woman.

Just now, it was because everyone was talking so much that Bai Mingyun, concerned about her daughter’s health, seemed somewhat hesitant.

Now, seeing that Xuanxuan was adamantly denying it, Bai Mingyun felt she should still listen to her daughter.

At least if Xuanxuan could provide her with a clear explanation, Bai Mingyun naturally did not wish to make such a fuss in front of Su Mu and take Xuanxuan to the hospital for a check-up.

That was not a problem originally, as Bai Mingyun knew her daughter’s health could be assured with such a check-up.

But whether Xuanxuan would leave a bad impression with Su Mu’s grandparents and parents was not easy to say.

Bai Mingyun ignored the earnest persuading of Xiao Wu and the strong woman, took a step forward, and approached her daughter.

Bai Mingyun extended her hand and touched Xuanxuan’s palm, warm and without any abnormalities.

Bai Mingyun also touched Xuanxuan’s forehead, which was also warm, showing no signs of fever.

Bai Mingyun’s heart relaxed slightly; Xuanxuan seemed truly free of any discomfort.

But then, what had caused Xuanxuan’s complexion to suddenly change?

Bai Mingyun glanced at her niece and saw Bai Wanting looking at Xuanxuan with a face full of concern.

Bai Mingyun knew that the change in Xuanxuan’s complexion was definitely not because the cousin-sisters had any kind of falling out.

Bai Mingyun had always firmly believed in the good relationship between Xuanxuan and Wanting.

So from the start, Bai Mingyun had dismissed the idea that Xuanxuan’s change of complexion was due to any displeasure with her cousin.

"Mom, I really don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere,"

Jiang Xinxuan saw that her mother had not insisted on taking her to the hospital for an examination due to the others’ incitement.

The weight Jiang Xinxuan had been carrying in her heart finally eased a bit.

But now that her mother had not yet openly refused those overly enthusiastic relatives, Jiang Xinxuan feared it would not be good if her mother gave in to their words.

Not to mention that Jiang Xinxuan really wasn’t feeling unwell.

Even if Jiang Xinxuan did feel a little bit uncomfortable, as long as it wasn’t unbearable, she definitely would not want to go to the hospital for an examination at this time.

Like her mother, Jiang Xinxuan certainly did not want to leave Su Mu with the impression that she was frail and sickly.

Although Jiang Xinxuan knew that having been high school classmates with Su Mu for three years, Su Mu should understand her well.

But no matter what, just arriving at Su Mu’s uncle’s place in Huangtong City and then causing a fuss about going to the hospital seemed very inappropriate to Jiang Xinxuan.

Jiang Xinxuan felt somewhat relieved that Su Mu and Allen had already walked inside the villa.

If Su Mu had witnessed this scene, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know what he might think; anyway, she certainly would not be pleased.

In this day and age, who would want their beloved to think of them as a sickly person?

"Xuanxuan, what happened just now? Tell mom, otherwise, I really won’t feel at ease,"

Seeing her daughter repeatedly assure that she wasn’t feeling any discomfort, Bai Mingyun also felt much more relieved.

But it was a fact that Xuanxuan’s complexion had suddenly worsened.

Importantly, this kind of situation with Xuanxuan was really not common.

It was only natural that Bai Mingyun was worried.

Bai Mingyun felt that those so-called caring words from the relatives, although full of purpose, were there.

Isn’t it just to make a good impression on Su Mu?

Bai Mingyun also knew that ever since these relatives had found out that the young master of the Su Family conglomerate was coming back to the Bai Family to attend Wanting’s wedding,

they practically turned the Bai Family home into a daily check-in point.

If Bai Mingqi hadn’t strictly refrained from paying these relatives a salary, Bai Mingyun would have suspected they were the Bai Family’s nine-to-five employees.

Even more enthusiastic than the staff who went to the office to work.

These relatives didn’t show up at the Bai Family home from nine to five.

Who among them wasn’t staying at least until seven or eight in the evening before they were willing to leave?

Anyway, in the minds of these people, it seemed that the later they stayed at the Bai Family home, the more chances they’d have to meet the young master of the Su Family.

All in all, every day these relatives would wait for me, and I for you, as if they were all on very good terms.

They had to leave the Bai Family home together, and only then would they feel a bit more at ease.

Bai Mingqi had felt like blowing up at these relatives multiple times.

But then he thought, after all, this was his daughter’s big day.

Moreover, Bai Mingqi didn’t want to cause any trouble in front of Su Mu when the relatives might act up once he actually arrived at the Bai Family home.

So, Bai Mingqi had been keeping his temper in check all along.

Later, it was unknown who spread the rumor that the young master of the Su Family was Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend, Bai Mingyun’s daughter.

Now, those relatives visiting the Bai Family all turned into Bai Mingyun’s little followers.

Bai Mingyun was even jokingly referred to by his sister-in-law as someone he had specifically hired to deal with the relatives.

Knowing the relatives’ excessively affectionate behavior now, Bai Mingyun was sure that their main purpose was to show off in front of Su Mu.

But Bai Mingyun still wanted to be certain about what exactly had caused Xuanxuan to go pale just now.

"Mom..."

Jiang Xinxuan bit her lip, and then glanced at the relatives who were attentively watching her.

Jiang Xinxuan suddenly realized that sometimes being the focus of everyone’s attention was not so wonderful.

At the very least, the current Jiang Xinxuan did not wish to be the focal point of the relatives’ attention.

Jiang Xinxuan just hoped she could enter her uncle’s villa sooner.

She felt safe only when she stood by Su Mu’s side.

And yet, Su Mu was not far from her at all.

Technically, once Jiang Xinxuan entered the villa’s gate, she could stand next to her boyfriend.

But this short distance now made Jiang Xinxuan feel troubled.

Jiang Xinxuan certainly couldn’t tell her mother right in front of so many people that it was because Su Mu was preparing to take her to meet his parents that all the subsequent events had occurred, could she?

Jiang Xinxuan felt not only embarrassed to say this in front of so many people,

but also scared that if she did say it, it would provoke an even greater reaction from the relatives.

Jiang Xinxuan was very clear about the extent of the Su Family conglomerate’s influence.

Otherwise, her own uncle wouldn’t have changed his attitude towards her cousin’s and Allen’s wedding just because of the name "Su Mu."

For the other relatives of the Bai Family, the Su Corporation was of course akin to a divine existence.

So, what more was there to say about the young heir of the Su Corporation?

He too was seen as nothing short of a celestial being.

If these relatives knew the words Su Mu had shared with him on the road, Jiang Xinxuan could guarantee they would treat him even more "enthusiastically."

Perhaps they wouldn’t just be zealously urging him to go to the hospital for a check-up like they were now.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that the strong woman had been looking at him as if she were eyeing her prey all this time.

If that strong woman received a bit more provocation, she might just pick up Jiang Xinxuan and walk away with him.

Jiang Xinxuan had no impression of Xiao Wu, who had shown the warmest behavior today, and the strong woman.

But Jiang Xinxuan knew that those who could freely come and go from his uncle’s villa were definitely the closer relatives of the Bai Family.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Xinxuan didn’t have much interaction with these relatives of the Bai Family to begin with.

Besides, even if they gathered together for some event, it was impossible for Jiang Xinxuan to become familiar with every single relative.

Generally speaking, if there was something happening at his uncle’s side.

Among a whole bunch of relatives, Jiang Xinxuan would also stick with Bai Wanting.

There might be a few other children of the same age, but Jiang Xinxuan and his cousin Bai Wanting were definitely the closest.

So it was perfectly normal for Jiang Xinxuan not to know Xiao Wu and the strong woman.

"Xuanxuan, just tell Mom, that’ll be enough," Bai Mingyun said.

Noticing her daughter’s embarrassment, Bai Mingyun leaned forward a bit so that only she could hear what Xuanxuan was about to say.

Bai Mingyun definitely wanted to confirm that the recent change in Xuanxuan’s complexion had a cause, which would allow her to feel somewhat relieved.

If the sudden change in Xuanxuan’s face wasn’t because of any conflict with her cousin.

This possibility was already dismissed by Bai Mingyun.

But if Xuanxuan couldn’t come up with any other reason, Bai Mingyun would seriously consider whether she should take Xuanxuan to the hospital for a check-up.

After all, Xuanxuan’s health was of the utmost importance.

This was a standard sentiment in Bai Mingyun’s heart.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that if he couldn’t provide a clear explanation, he would certainly not be able to get past his mother’s concern.

If he couldn’t satisfy his mother’s concern, thinking about those relatives who seemed to want to glue their eyes to him now.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that if he didn’t tell his mother the truth, he might indeed be escorted to the hospital tonight by these "enthusiastic" relatives.

Jiang Xinxuan lowered his head and thought carefully.

His relationship with Su Mu was not only known to his parents but also to this whole group of relatives.

Otherwise, they certainly wouldn’t be paying so much attention to him today.

Of this, Jiang Xinxuan was aware.

Jiang Xinxuan thought about it. His parents had already formally invited Su Mu to visit their home.

Moreover, he knew that his mother was also waiting for when Su Mu would officially take him to visit Su Mu’s grandparents and parents at the Su Family’s home.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that even if he didn’t say it now, once his cousin’s and Allen’s wedding was over,

Back at her own home in Huadong City, Jiang Xinxuan still had to tell her mother about the upcoming visit to meet Su Mu’s grandfather and parents.

Not to mention, Su Mu gave very valuable gifts when she visited Jiang Xinxuan.

For Jiang Xinxuan’s visit to meet Su Mu’s grandfather and parents, she definitely couldn’t afford to seem too shabby.

Although Jiang Xinxuan’s father’s company couldn’t be considered a large corporation compared to the Su Family Group.

But in fact, the scale of Jiang Xinxuan’s father’s company was quite significant.

Especially in the construction industry, Jiang Xinxuan’s father, Jiang Maohua, could be considered a top figure.

The economic condition of Jiang Xinxuan’s family was not just decent, it was exceptionally good.

At the time, Su Mu had intentionally ignored the friendly gestures of Jiang Xinxuan, the daughter of a wealthy family, because she did not know her true identity.

One could imagine that, in Huadong City International Middle School, where wealthy children gathered, Jiang Xinxuan’s family background was quite outstanding.

So, actually, Jiang Xinxuan’s family’s financial power was really considerable.

The gifts Jiang Xinxuan planned to give her future in-laws and grandfather were certainly not associated with being mean.

Of course, this was all under circumstances not being compared with the Su Family Group.

So now, Jiang Xinxuan started to worry whether the gifts she would bring when going to meet Su Mu’s grandfather and parents in Huadong City might seem too humble.

If she couldn’t show her sincerity, Jiang Xinxuan was worried that her impression in the eyes of Su Mu’s grandfather and parents might be greatly diminished.

Moreover, this issue was not one where buying more expensive gifts equated to being better.

For Su Mu’s grandfather, the former head of the Su Family Group,

And the current leaders of the Su Family Group, Su Mu’s father and mother, even if Jiang Xinxuan brought highly valuable gifts, they might not necessarily be appreciated.

For the rich, especially the super-rich, it’s the true heart behind your gift that they value.

Of course, it wouldn’t be those cheap items either.

Therefore, regarding what gifts would be best to bring for an official visit to Su Mu’s family, Jiang Xinxuan felt she definitely needed to ask Su Mu about his grandparents and parents’ preferences first.

Then, Jiang Xinxuan naturally also needed her mother’s suggestions.

Since she needed her mother’s advice, Jiang Xinxuan certainly had to tell her mother about this matter.

Initially, Jiang Xinxuan had no intention of hiding this from her mother.

It was a happy event, and Jiang Xinxuan saw no need to keep it a secret from her parents.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that her parents had been impatient for her to formally visit Su Mu’s family.

But since Su Mu hadn’t mentioned it, Jiang Xinxuan’s parents also didn’t feel it was right to rush the matter.

Now that Su Mu had finally brought it up, Jiang Xinxuan felt her mother would probably be more excited than herself upon hearing the news.

Jiang Xinxuan had planned to find a private moment to tell her mother about this.

After all, this was her own personal matter.

This trip to Huangtong City with Su Mu and her mother was for her cousin’s marriage to Allen.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to steal her cousin’s thunder nor did she want to bring this up in front of a crowd.

Yet, seeing her mother’s demeanor now, Jiang Xinxuan knew she really had no choice but to come clean.

Fortunately, she didn’t need to announce it in front of others, and that was something Jiang Xinxuan could accept a bit more.
