Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 389 - 388: Just One Step Away

Walking up to Su Mu’s black Ferrari, Four Eyes symbolically knocked on the driver’s side window.

At that moment, as Su Mu was looking down at his phone, he truly hadn’t noticed Four Eyes approaching his car.

Upon hearing the noise, Su Mu looked up and saw Four Eyes standing there, perfectly fine.

Su Mu thought his friend didn’t understand what he meant.

Putting away his phone, Su Mu pushed open the driver’s side door and stepped out.

What a hunk!

Xiao Zhang, because of Four Eyes’ action, had been watching the black Ferrari closely.

Xiao Zhang had also realized that the primary reason Principal Zhou had asked him to entertain Miss He, who told him to wait, was none other than the owner of that black Ferrari.

Even before Su Mu got out of the car, Xiao Zhang was already extremely curious.

Just from seeing the car, Xiao Zhang obviously knew that a Ferrari 812 and a Ferrari 599 were not in the same league.

Now, observing Miss He’s demeanor, Xiao Zhang was even more certain that the owner of the black Ferrari 812 was no ordinary character.

Xiao Zhang had made many assumptions but had not imagined that the owner of the black Ferrari 812 would be such a super handsome guy.

Perhaps it was a preconceived notion.

When he saw the chubby guy with the Pagani, Xiao Zhang subconsciously thought the owner of the black Ferrari was just an average-looking rich second generation.

Reality truly made Xiao Zhang feel like a frog in a well.

It turned out there was a big difference between wealthy second generations and wealthy second generations.

Just like that chubby guy gawking at the Pagani.

Rich, yes, but quite plain-looking.

If it weren’t for the fact that the chubby guy was driving a luxury car, Xiao Zhang felt he could overshadow him.

But this theory didn’t apply when it came to Su Mu.

Even without driving that quintessential rich second-generation Ferrari 812, Su Mu’s own good looks were enough to draw everyone’s attention.

Xiao Zhang felt utterly ashamed in his heart.

Compared to a handsome guy, Xiao Zhang truly seemed just as ordinary as any other passerby.

"You and He Qiya go find the person; I’ll wait for you guys in the car," Su Mu said, making the decision before Four Eyes could speak.

Su Mu had agreed to accompany Four Eyes only to the extent of coming with him to Yude High School.

Su Mu had a very clear understanding of himself.

Not wanting to become the object of attention for those girls, Su Mu thought it best to wait in the car.

Today’s protagonist was Four Eyes, and Su Mu didn’t want to steal the limelight from his friend.

Besides, Su Mu had seen enough of those lovesick gazes and really didn’t want to add any more to them.

"How about you talk to He Qiya? I’m afraid that Miss He may not want to go with me alone to find the person," Four Eyes said in a lowered voice.

He couldn’t help it; He Qiya was standing not far from him and Su Mu.

Four Eyes certainly couldn’t say that directly in front of He Qiya, could he?

Girls are thin-skinned, and what if He Qiya felt embarrassed and refused to cooperate?

Four Eyes was just a step away from meeting the girl of his dreams.

At this critical moment, Four Eyes, of course, didn’t dare to offend He Qiya.

"When did you become such a scaredy-cat?"

"You don’t dare to say a word? Is He Qiya a tigress or something?"

In Su Mu’s eyes, He Qiya was just a bit cold-natured, but otherwise pretty normal.

He couldn’t believe that Four Eyes, with his forthright personality, would be afraid to talk to He Qiya.

Su Mu simply couldn’t understand it.

"Su Mu, keep it down. If He Qiya hears you, I’ll be in trouble," Four Eyes cautioned.

Four Eyes glanced anxiously at He Qiya, relieved that she seemed not to have heard what Su Mu said.

He Qiya’s expression had not changed, which allowed Four Eyes to relax somewhat.

"Are you that scared of He Qiya?"

At Four Eyes’ insistence, Su Mu’s voice had indeed become much softer.

But Su Mu’s slow mounting confusion had not lessened one bit.

Hadn’t Four Eyes only just met He Qiya?

All the way here, Su Mu had been by his side, and he hadn’t noticed anything about He Qiya that might scare Four Eyes.

Four Eyes sighed in his heart.

What he really wanted to say was, "Bro, isn’t this all because of you?"

He Qiya liked Su Mu.

That fact was probably known to everyone who had some understanding of He Qiya, except for Su Mu, right?

The problem lay right there; if He Qiya overheard the person she liked calling her a "she-devil."

The reason lay in Four Eyes’ words after all.

Four Eyes truly didn’t know if he would be able to meet his "unseen girl" today.

Even though Four Eyes had already entered the gates of Yude High School.

But until meeting Li Minli, nothing was certain.

Four Eyes didn’t dare voice these thoughts now.

Four Eyes had long realized that Su Mu was completely oblivious to He Qiya’s feelings.

Considering that Su Mu already had Jiang Xinxuan as his official girlfriend,

and He Qiya’s status would not allow her to become the second Xia Shuya,

Four Eyes felt it was better to keep his thoughts to himself.

He shouldn’t burden his good friend with this.

"I’m in need of her help right now," he said.

Four Eyes chose a safe topic and provided a bit of explanation for his attitude toward He Qiya.

When under the eaves, one must bow the head, which was exactly Four Eyes’ situation now.

"Some nerve," Su Mu said.

Unaware of He Qiya’s feelings for him, Su Mu naturally believed what Four Eyes said.

In Su Mu’s mind, Four Eyes was being overly cautious this time.

"Alright, Su Mu, just consider this a favor for me, go and talk to He Qiya," Four Eyes said, seeming not wanting to continue this topic, unsure if he might accidentally blurt out something.

Thinking it safer to change to a secure topic, Four Eyes gestured a fist bump towards Su Mu.

"Su Mu, let’s go in together."

"My aunt’s assistant has been sent to guide us to find Li Minli."

He Qiya had noticed that Four Eyes and Su Mu had been standing there talking.

Since neither Su Mu nor Four Eyes had been speaking loudly, He Qiya couldn’t hear clearly what the two were discussing.

Yet, He Qiya did notice that during their conversation, both glanced her way a few times.

He Qiya felt sure they were talking about her, just not sure of the specifics.

Not wanting to stand aside, making wild guesses, He Qiya took the initiative to walk over.

Of course, she didn’t want Su Mu to think she came over to eavesdrop on his conversation with Four Eyes.

He Qiya spoke up before she got too close.

He Qiya, of course, wanted Su Mu to accompany her inside, and her words carried a definitive tone.

Upon hearing He Qiya’s voice, Su Mu and Four Eyes exchanged looks.

Four Eyes might have given Su Mu an "I didn’t tell a lie" look.

He Qiya’s intentions were crystal clear: she wanted Su Mu to accompany her inside to look for someone.

After all, in He Qiya’s eyes, she was there because of Su Mu.

If it were just Four Eyes, He Qiya wouldn’t be so proactive.

"You and Four Eyes can go, I’ll wait for you in the car."

Su Mu had his own plans and naturally wouldn’t comply with He Qiya’s wishes.

He Qiya and Four Eyes, plus the assistant sent by He Qiya’s cousin once removed.

The trio going to Li Minli’s class to find someone should already look impressive, right?

Su Mu didn’t want to join in on the buzz.

Su Mu felt it was more comfortable to stay in the car, listen to music, enjoy the air conditioning, and browse the news.

"You’re not coming with us?"

"It’ll be kind of boring for me alone after Four Eyes finds Li Minli."

"Su Mu, if you came along, at least I’d have someone to talk to."

He Qiya didn’t want to give up easily.

She certainly had her little schemes in mind.

He Qiya thought that once Four Eyes found Li Minli, it would probably be time for Four Eyes and Li Minli to talk alone.

And then, wouldn’t He Qiya be able to spend time alone with Su Mu on the campus of Yude High School?

Just thinking about two eighteen-year-olds strolling through the high school campus seemed like a romantic scenario.

He Qiya felt that maybe Su Mu would also develop some special feelings then.

And so, the relationship between her and Su Mu might progress as well.

"I won’t go. After Four Eyes finds Li Minli, if you feel bored, you can come straight back to the car."

"Besides, didn’t your cousin’s father send an assistant along? It shouldn’t be too boring."

Su Mu was effectively rejecting He Qiya’s suggestion.

He Qiya would be bored on her own?

Su Mu indicated that he would be very bored if he went too.

"Alright then, I’ll head back to the parking lot after Four Eyes finds Li Minli."

Seeing that Su Mu wasn’t open to negotiation, He Qiya couldn’t rightfully force anything.

Since Su Mu had personally refused, He Qiya couldn’t allow her unhappiness to affect the innocent.

So this time, Four Eyes was spared from being caught in the crossfire.

"Su Mu, then we’ll be heading over."

Even though she was still somewhat unhappy, He Qiya still managed to smile and say goodbye to Su Mu.

With a nod, Su Mu patted Four Eyes on the shoulder.

Four Eyes understood Su Mu’s intention; this was a good friend cheering him on.

Nodding vigorously, Four Eyes indicated he would do his best.

Xiao Zhang, who had been silently observing everything, was even more astonished.

He had witnessed the whole scene, noting how Miss He’s demeanor revolved entirely around the handsome man.

Xiao Zhang also realized that the owner of the Ferrari 812 was the central figure among the three rich young generations.

Unfortunately, nobody introduced Xiao Zhang to him, and Xiao Zhang couldn’t find an opportunity to approach the handsome man and pitch himself.

Seeing Miss He and the bespectacled plump boy ready to leave, Xiao Zhang quickly approached Su Mu to greet him.

"Mr. Su, hello, I’m Principal Zhou’s assistant Xiao Zhang."

"I’ll take Miss He and the others to find the person first. If you need anything, you can call Miss He, and I’ll come right back."

Although nobody had introduced Xiao Zhang to the handsome man, the fact that he had managed to become an assistant to the principal at such a young age surely meant he had something going for him.

Xiao Zhang had listened carefully to every word He Qiya said to the handsome man earlier.

Xiao Zhang, of course, now knew the name of the handsome guy.

Su Mu?

Just didn’t know which two characters it was.

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most important thing was that Xiao Zhang now had information to strike up a conversation with the handsome guy.

The handsome guy’s last name was Su.

Knowing this, Xiao Zhang naturally had the opportunity to take the initiative to speak.

Su Mu was ready to head back to the car.

Su Mu really hadn’t expected that the principal’s assistant would make a special effort to come over and greet him before leaving.

It wasn’t that Su Mu felt the assistant beneath notice because he was a nobody.

It was mainly because He Qiya hadn’t shown any intention of introducing the assistant from beginning to end.

Of course, Su Mu didn’t take it to heart.

Seeing the assistant, who was only a few years older than himself and quite savvy, Su Mu nodded.

Since the other person was so polite, Su Mu certainly wouldn’t let the assistant lose face.

"Alright, Mr. Su, then I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll go with Miss He to find someone."

Su Mu’s nod had made Xiao Zhang feel as if Mr. Su had granted him a great honor.

Xiao Zhang’s heart bloomed with joy.

Originally, Xiao Zhang hadn’t expected Mr. Su to give him the time of day.

Xiao Zhang had always thought the rich second generation looked down on others, with their noses in the air.

Xiao Zhang suddenly realized he had been too one-sided.

Wasn’t this very impressive Mr. Su a great example?

After speaking to Su Mu, Xiao Zhang quickly caught up with He Qiya and Four Eyes.

Xiao Zhang’s main task was to lead Miss He to class 2-2 of the sophomore year to find Li Minli.

If He Qiya were to look by herself, then what would be the need for Xiao Zhang?

After catching up with He Qiya and Four Eyes, Xiao Zhang walked on He Qiya’s right side.

Four Eyes followed behind the two of them.

Su Mu was back in the Ferrari.

Looking from inside the car, Su Mu saw the capable Xiao Zhang talking to He Qiya about something.

Since Xiao Zhang turned his face sideways to talk to He Qiya, Su Mu could naturally see Xiao Zhang’s moving mouth.

He couldn’t see whether He Qiya responded or not; she didn’t even turn her head to glance at Xiao Zhang.

However, knowing He Qiya as Su Mu did, he guessed it would be quite difficult for Xiao Zhang to get a response from her.

Unless it was a question that He Qiya couldn’t avoid answering.

But at this moment, such a situation probably didn’t exist.

Looking at Four Eyes trailing behind, Su Mu realized his good friend looked very nervous.

Having been classmates and good friends for three years, Su Mu could tell from Four Eyes’ rigid back how tense Four Eyes was feeling right now.

But there was nothing to be done about it; Su Mu knew that even if he accompanied Four Eyes over there now.

Su Mu wouldn’t be of much help to Four Eyes.

Four Eyes was about to have his first face-to-face meeting with the girl of his dreams.

Although Su Mu had never experienced such nervousness personally, he could understand it.

All he could do was silently say to himself, "Good luck."

Su Mu wasn’t particularly concerned about Four Eyes’ eventual outcome with Li Minli.

After all, it all depends on fate, doesn’t it?
