Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 57: Entry Ticket

"Just want money?"

Once or twice, everyone might willingly participate.

But Mom said, this charity gala is basically held every year.

And it has been for many years.

Just think about it, if the charity asked everyone for money every year, wouldn’t it turn people off?

Now, this method is much better.

They don’t directly ask for money, they just let wealthy philanthropists donate some things they like.

Of course, the things that rich people are willing to part with are naturally not going to be ordinary.

The upper echelons of society value face the most.

And this auction has hit the nail on the head.

Su Mu felt that this charity organization must have an expert at the helm to keep getting support from these wealthy philanthropists.

The auction was very smooth, and everyone’s enthusiasm was very high.

Naturally, everyone was also very rational.

After two or three people drove up the price of an item, everyone would consciously stop raising their paddles.

After all, everyone has attended too many of these charity events.

They were just going through the motions, showing their face in this social circle; as long as they maintained their dignity, that was enough.

Su Mu took note that the sapphire bracelet donated by his mother was the most expensive.

The starting bid was three million.

The charity organization even specifically mentioned this was donated by Madam Su of the Su Group.

Everyone’s enthusiasm for bidding was obviously much higher than at other times.

On one hand, they were doing it out of respect for Bai Xiuping.

On the other hand, the sapphire bracelet was indeed valuable, and everyone knew it was worth the price.

After several rounds of bidding, the sapphire bracelet was eventually taken by a rich lady for four million eight hundred and eighty thousand.

After her successful bid, this wealthy lady even deliberately greeted Bai Xiuping.

It was at this moment that Su Mu truly understood why everyone was so keen on the charity organization’s evenings.

Although everyone knew the charity was pulling off a ’white wolf with empty hands’.

But the charity could invite big shots like Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping.

For those who normally couldn’t come into contact with these heavyweights.

Isn’t it just buying an admission ticket with money?

To become somewhat acquainted.

Bai Xiuping didn’t come empty-handed either; she bought a brooch, and it wasn’t cheap, two million two hundred thousand.

So, in and out, Bai Xiuping had donated seven million.

No wonder Xia Yiming was so enthusiastic upon seeing Bai Xiuping.

Bai Xiuping had donated several million in just one night.

Su Mu felt the charity organization’s ability to draw money was a bit too strong.

After the bidding segment ended, the charity organization wouldn’t just let everyone go home.

If the admission ticket didn’t serve its purpose, who would support the charity’s events in the future?

Everyone was invited to another hall that had been prepared earlier.

"Thank you, all philanthropists, for your generous donations, and now it’s time for our charity ball. Please enjoy yourselves," they announced.

As the music started, couples embraced and entered the dance floor.

Bai Xiuping was already surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies.

Today, Su Ruizhi hadn’t attended, and since everyone wasn’t familiar with Su Mu, it wasn’t good to rashly approach him.

The responsibility of making contacts naturally fell on the shoulders of the ladies of each family.

Su Mu watched his mom being surrounded in the center by a group of brightly dressed women.

He found a place for himself, took out his phone, and started killing time.

Some who originally thought about approaching to make conversation saw what Su Mu was doing, and they didn’t dare to approach so easily anymore.

If they annoyed the Crown Prince of the Su Family, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

Su Mu didn’t notice the conflicted expressions on the faces of those around him who wanted to approach but didn’t dare disturb him.

He opened WeChat and sent a message to Jiang Xinxuan.

Mom mentioned it, and Su Mu was also curious why Jiang Xinxuan didn’t attend the party.

If his girlfriend could come, Su Mu wouldn’t be so bored, right?

"Xiao Xuan, what are you up to? Why didn’t you come to tonight’s X charity gala?"

"My grandma came over, and Mom said we should spend more time with her. So, we decided not to attend that kind of social gathering."

His reply came instantly.

Ever since Jiang Xinxuan started dating, his phone was never far from him.

Fearing he might miss his boyfriend’s immediate call for love.

"Did you go?"

Jiang Xinxuan responded quickly, guessing that Su Mu must have been at the charity gala to ask him such a question.

A bit of annoyance crept in.

Why did it have to be such a coincidence?

Just when Su Mu was at the gala, and he couldn’t go because his grandma had arrived.

Normally, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t care about these galas, having attended too many since childhood.

But knowing that his boyfriend was at one, it suddenly meant more.

"My old man was busy, and my mom dragged me there as a backup at the last minute."

"It’s the same thing that my mom mentioned over the phone this afternoon."

Jiang Xinxuan remembered, he was right next to Su Mu when he took the call.

But since Su Mu didn’t ask what it was about at the time, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t connected the two events together.

With a face-palming emoji, Jiang Xinxuan conveyed his less than wonderful mood.

Checking the time, he realized that even if he rushed over now, it would be too late.

Besides, both his parents were accompanying his grandma.

He certainly couldn’t go to the gala all by himself, could he?

"Then you have fun. Grandma is calling me."

Sending a waving hand emoji, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want his unhappiness to rub off on Su Mu.

Nor did he want Su Mu to think he was being childish, so he quickly found an excuse to adjust his mood.

Su Mu didn’t take it to heart and replied with an OK.

With his girlfriend unavailable to chat, Su Mu resorted to scrolling through his social media.

As expected

Xia Shuya indeed hadn’t gone back to her dance troupe. freёweɓnovel.com

Looking at photo after photo of the presidential suite, along with the occasional shots of Xia Shuya "accidentally" appearing in them.

Su Mu felt he was starting to admire Xia Shuya’s dedication.

A presidential suite nearly exhausted by Xia Shuya’s countless angles of capture.

Looking up, looking down, side snaps, and the view from inside the suite.

Su Mu guessed that Xia Shuya had tried every possible angle.

Of course, Xia Shuya didn’t post just one update.

With every few photos, there would be captions.

"Presidential suite, here I am again."

"Dear only stays in this kind of suite, isn’t it a bit too luxurious?"

"Lucky I’m used to it, otherwise I’d think it’s too luxurious too."

...

Basically showing off wealth, Su Mu felt like laughing at it all.

There were also Xia Shuya’s replies in her social media comments.

Of course, it was hard to tell what was true or not.

"Dear is dear, stop asking."

It seemed like a response to someone’s persistent questions.

"Dear’s identity is a mystery, I just can’t say."

Still circling around the same topic.

"No matter how many times you ask, I won’t tell."

It was all the same routine, and Su Mu closed his social media, no longer wanting to look.
