Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 60: Coming Together to be Cannon Fodder?

After a long silence, Lin Mumu was getting a bit anxious.

What was the situation now?

Su Mu had spoken a sentence and the other party had stopped responding.

They didn’t say whether they wanted to continue playing a few more rounds, nor did they say whether they were surrendering and quitting the game for good.

Lin Mumu was worried Su Mu would grow impatient, as the player was someone she had found for him.

If things fell through like this, what would she do if Su Mu no longer sought her out in the future?

"Are you still playing or not?"

With the other party remaining silent, Lin Mumu had no choice but to start calling out in the room.

Mr. Su’s time shouldn’t be wasted, right?

Lin Mumu didn’t realize that Su Mu was simply bored to death now, which was why he had talked so much with those two people.

If it had been any other time, he wouldn’t care whether you accepted it or not.

Su Mu couldn’t be bothered to explain anything.

"We’re not playing anymore, we admit defeat."

The other party seemed to have been awakened by Su Mu’s remark, straightforwardly admitting defeat.

"..."

"Not playing anymore?"

Lin Mumu was a bit stunned. These two had been acting all high and mighty in the WeChat group, bragging every day about being the invincible masters of battleground games.

So why were they admitting defeat so readily now?

Unfortunately for Lin Mumu, no one answered her.

After saying that, the two players directly exited the room.

"Handsome guy, should I call a few more people so we can keep playing?"

Seeing that Su Mu was still in the room, Lin Mumu tentatively asked.

It seemed that the handsome guy had plenty of time today?

"No need, I’m logging off too."

Su Mu now felt a sense of loneliness that only a great master could understand.

With no desire to continue gaming, he said those words and directly exited the room.

He didn’t even leave Lin Mumu the opportunity to say goodbye.

Looking at the room now left with only herself, Lin Mumu also silently exited.

She had played games in the online world with Su Mu a few times.

Lin Mumu could feel that Su Mu’s interest in her hadn’t increased in the slightest.

A bit aggravated, she scratched her hair a few times, not knowing how to change the current situation.

Su Mu, however, wasn’t thinking as much as Lin Mumu. Putting away his phone, he picked up the champagne on the table and sipped it lightly.

The taste wasn’t bad.

Su Mu didn’t know much about wine and for now, this was the only conclusion he could draw.

"Miss He, may I have the pleasure of this dance with you?"

Bold move!

Su Mu looked up at the courageously commendable young man.

Didn’t the man know about He Qiya’s coldness from last night, yet he still dared to come forward at today’s dance to be cannon fodder?

The man was rather good-looking, and his outstretched hand was very insistent.

Even though He Qiya didn’t give the man a glance, he still held his inviting posture.

The smile on his face didn’t change at all, giving off a refreshing vibe.

Unfortunately, Su Mu was here.

Otherwise, the man’s appearance could have been considered handsome.

He Qiya truly didn’t move her head even a bit, acting as if she hadn’t heard at all.

"Miss He, may I invite you to dance with me?"

The man probably thought He Qiya hadn’t heard him, so he raised his voice slightly and repeated the question.

He Qiya finally made a move.

It wasn’t to accept the man’s invitation but to turn her back to the man completely.

Awkward!

Pure awkwardness!

The man could have consoled himself by thinking He Qiya hadn’t heard him.

But now she had proven with her actions that she had not only heard but heard very clearly.

It’s just that they didn’t want to deal with you, that’s all.

The man’s smile on his face became somewhat strained, and he didn’t know whether to retract his hand or keep extending it.

The men nearby who had been paying attention to the commotion here couldn’t help but reveal expressions of schadenfreude.

Su Mu noticed that those men had also been rejected by He Qiya the night before.

Seeing someone else walk the same path they had, those men clearly felt much more at ease.

They must have figured that it wasn’t their fault they were rejected last night.

It was just that He Qiya didn’t take to anyone.

Huang Yuqin gave the young man an apologetic smile.

Now, Huang Yuqin was having some regrets.

If she had known that sending Yao Yao abroad for a few years would make the child’s personality so cold.

Aunt Qin would have never let her daughter leave her side to study in a foreign land.

Domestic education was also very good; it was only because Aunt Qin considered the issue of face that she resolutely sent He Qiya out of the country alone.

Seeing the look on Huang Yuqin’s face, the man understood as well.

This Miss He was not going to accept his invitation.

With a slight tilt of his body, the man still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and excused himself.

For two consecutive evenings, He Qiya, the Ice Mountain Beauty, had firmly secured her throne.

Su Mu felt certain that for future events like this, there likely wouldn’t be anyone brave enough to approach He Qiya anymore.

Huang Yuqin had also realized this.

She felt a bit anxious inside; if things kept up like this, how would He Qiya ever break into social circles in the future?

Though it’s not like her family’s status was low.

But in Huadong City, they were not at the very top.

For a debutante in high society, reputation was still very important.

Huang Yuqin was eager to change He Qiya’s cold image in everyone’s eyes.

Huang Yuqin glanced at Su Mu, really wanting him to invite He Qiya to dance.

But she had hinted so many times just moments ago, and still, Su Mu hadn’t agreed.

Huang Yuqin truly felt uneasy.

She tried to send Bai Xiuping a look, hoping to create some opportunities for the two youngsters.

But Bai Xiuping didn’t seem all that enthusiastic.

Huang Yuqin remembered that the night before, Bai Xiuping seemed quite keen on Su Mu and He Qiya being together.

She was a bit baffled as to why everyone’s attitude had changed so much overnight.

Su Mu and Yao Yao had become strangers to each other.

And Bai Xiuping seemed to not care at all about the matters between the two kids.

Su Mu hadn’t ignored Aunt Qin sizing him up with her eyes.

Fearing Aunt Qin would bring up the same old topic again, Su Mu thought it better to take the initiative.

Standing up, Su Mu straightened his clothes.

Seeing Su Mu’s sudden movement, Huang Yuqin’s eyes lit up.

Could it be that Xiao Mu had come to his senses?

Was he preparing to invite Yao Yao to dance?

Judging by the way Su Mu was acting, he certainly seemed ready to ask someone to dance.

Except for Huang Yuqin and Bai Xiuping, the two elders, there was only one young woman left, He Qiya.

Huang Yuqin’s facial muscles trembled slightly with excitement.

"Would you honor me with a dance, beautiful lady?"

With a very standard gesture, Su Mu extended his right hand to his own mother.

That’s right!

Su Mu was inviting his mother to dance.

Su Mu’s strategy for being proactive was to invite his mother to dance first.

This way, he could avoid Aunt Qin asking him to invite He Qiya to dance.

His mother would be there, and out of consideration for face, she would certainly have to express herself.

Then, Su Mu would have no choice but to ask He Qiya to dance.

It wasn’t that Su Mu was afraid of He Qiya rejecting him.

He simply did not want to dance with the Ice Mountain Beauty.

Aside from driving, Su Mu hadn’t found anything in common to talk about with He Qiya.
