Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 55 Untapped Gold Mine

He told Xiao Wang the address his mother had sent him.

At Su Mu’s request to drive faster, the Bentley sped along the road the entire way.

Luckily, they didn’t encounter any traffic police, otherwise, a ticket would have been inevitable.

Maybe some "kind-hearted" traffic police would even have escorted Su Mu to his destination.

Because of the Bentley’s price, other cars on the road dared not get too close for fear of accidentally scratching it and not being able to afford the damages.

Even if it wasn’t their fault, no one would try to compete with the Bentley for the road.

After all, the person inside could be someone they couldn’t afford to offend, which would be a loss not worth risking.

Thus, even during rush hour, the Bentley still maintained its elegance.

Without any mishaps, Su Mu managed to reach the destination before his mother.

Just as Su Mu got out of his car, Bai Xiuping’s vehicle pulled up beside him.

"Xiao Mu,"

Bai Xiuping called out to her son as she rolled down the window.

Considering her son’s punctuality, Bai Xiuping decided not to pursue the matter of Su Mu hanging up on her earlier.

"Mom, welcome," Su Mu said jokingly as he opened the rear door of the car for Bai Xiuping.

Lifting her left arm, Bai Xiuping naturally extended her right hand and took his.

From his mother, Su Mu learned that the charity gala was organized by some sort of charity institution in Huadong City.

It was held nearly every year.

Socially conscious individuals would donate their belongings, which would then be auctioned off, and the proceeds would be donated to children in poor areas such as mountain regions.

Of course, the benefactors targeted here were primarily the upper echelons of society.

The items donated by wealthy individuals naturally had value, and correspondingly, the auction prices would not be low.

"Mom, what did you donate?"

Since it targeted the upper class, Bai Xiuping, as the wife of Su Ruizhi from the Su Family Group.

Su Mu didn’t believe that the charity organization would miss the opportunity to ask his mother.

"A bracelet,"

Bai Xiuping said casually.

Su Mu understood that what his mother donated would not be as trivial as she made it sound.

The price was sure to be steep.

The Su Mu of the past would not have dared to say such things.

In the two-bedroom apartment he used to live in,

Su Mu knew the most valuable item his mother owned was a ring with a small diamond on it.

But it was only after returning to the mansion that Su Mu realized how understated his mother had been previously.

All sorts of jewels that dazzled in the jewelry box, whether they had famous names or not,

Su Mu felt that his mother could wear different pieces every day for several months without repeating any.

"Madam Su, you’ve arrived,"

As Su Mu and his mother chatted casually, they walked into the venue.

The staff in uniform from the charity organization who were waiting at the entrance of the hall immediately greeted Bai Xiuping upon seeing her.

Su Mu understood; it seemed his mother was a major benefactor, and the staff’s attitude said it all.

"Director Xia, hello,"

Bai Xiuping greeted the director affably without putting on airs.

A director?

Su Mu took a sidelong glance, originally thinking it was just a regular staff member, but it turned out that the rank was not low at all.

"Madam Su, thank you for your support of our charity organization,"

"And for that sapphire bracelet you donated, I, on behalf of the children in the mountains, thank you for your generosity,"

When Bai Xiuping contributed, naturally, the item was of considerable value.

This Director Xia was very aware of that, and with such an important guest, the attitude had to be just right.

The annual activities of the charity organization could go on, thanks to the generous and wealthy benefactors like Bai Xiuping.

"Director Xia is too kind."

Bai Xiuping had heard such compliments too often and no longer felt any ripple in her heart.

"Madam Su, who is this?"

Noticing that Bai Xiuping was not interested in the topic, Director Xia’s eyes shifted to the young man who had come in with Bai Xiuping.

Initially, he had only given him a glance because it was not Su Ruizhi, and thus the director hadn’t given it much thought.

Now, taking a closer look, Director Xia’s heart immediately leaped with two words: Handsome!

Director Xia was certain he had never seen Su Mu before.

Su Mu didn’t seem very old.

But seeing the very close manner between Su Mu and Bai Xiuping, Director Xia felt baffled.

With super-rich tycoons like Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping, naturally, the charity organization paid them special attention.

Director Xia knew that the relationship between Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping was very good.

But what was the deal with this handsome young man?

And Bai Xiuping didn’t seem to avoid bringing the handsome man to such a public event at all.

Director Xia felt there must be something he didn’t know.

"My son, Su Mu."

Bai Xiuping had no idea about all the thoughts that had floated through Director Xia’s mind.

Indeed, Director Xia’s mind was already filled with many speculations.

But he had never guessed that Su Mu would be Bai Xiuping’s son.

Mainly because Bai Xiuping was so well-maintained, it didn’t seem at all that she could have a son that old.

In the past, there had been no talk of Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping having children, had there?

At that time, Director Xia even gossiped about how, with such a large empire like the Su Family Conglomerate, Chairman Su wasn’t anxious about having a child to inherit it?

Turns out it wasn’t that they weren’t having children, but that the son was already so grown up!

Wait a minute

If Bai Xiuping’s son, then wouldn’t he be the Crown Prince of the Su Family Conglomerate?

Director Xia felt as if he had just discovered an unmined gold mine.

In the future, the Su Family Conglomerate would all belong to this Crown Prince, and Director Xia would definitely not miss such a great opportunity.

"Young Master Su, hello, I am Xia Yiming from XX Charity Organization, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

"On behalf of the XX Charity Organization, I thank you for attending tonight’s charity gala."

Su Mu nodded slightly, not very interested in Xia Yiming, who was obviously a seasoned player.

He had been standing here all this time, before his identity was known.

Why wasn’t Xia Yiming so enthusiastic then?

Seeing that he got no response from Su Mu, Xia Yiming forced an awkward smile.

This Crown Prince wasn’t easy to deal with, was he?

Xia Yiming also felt a twinge of annoyance; why hadn’t he avoided being so mercenary at the beginning and focused all his attention only on Bai Xiuping?

It seemed that the Crown Prince had noticed, which is why he was so cold.

"Madam Su, your son is really handsome."

"He has inherited the best qualities of you and Mr. Su."

Unable to get a smile out of the Crown Prince, Xia Yiming shifted his flattery back to Bai Xiuping.

Bai Xiuping wasn’t charmed by Xia Yiming either, merely smiling faintly.

"Xiuping, Xiao Mu, you’re here."

An excited female voice came through, and Su Mu and Bai Xiuping turned around.

It was Huang Yuqin, holding onto He Yuguang, with He Qiya following behind them.

"Yu Qin, you’ve arrived."

Bai Xiuping took Su Mu’s arm naturally and turned toward Huang Yuqin.

Xia Yiming awkwardly retreated to the side, realizing that his deliberate ingratiation was not well-received by either Madam Su or the young master of the Su Family.
