Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 397 - 396: Subdued Everyone

"Have you been waiting long?"

Since Su Mu hadn’t rushed on the road, he had no idea if Xuanxuan had been waiting for him for a long time.

After all, this time it took Su Mu a few more minutes than usual to get from the castle to the Yulong Lake Villa area.

"No, I just got here too."

Always so understanding, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to make Su Mu feel embarrassed about anything.

Although Jiang Xinxuan had actually been standing at the entrance of the villa area for more than ten minutes already.

But Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to tell Su Mu this.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that driving never had a fixed time, a traffic light more or less could make a few minutes’ difference.

Jiang Xinxuan was completely understanding about Su Mu being a few minutes late this time.

Jiang Xinxuan never thought that girls were naturally supposed to make boys wait.

To Jiang Xinxuan, having her boyfriend come to pick her up was already a very happy occasion.

It wasn’t a big deal for a girlfriend to wait a few minutes for her boyfriend.

Does one really have to wait until the boy arrives and then dilly-dally to come out to show how important she is?

"You look very pretty today."

As his girlfriend had dressed up so carefully, of course, Su Mu wouldn’t be stingy with his compliments.

"Thank you."

Jiang Xinxuan had dressed up so attentively of course for Su Mu to see.

Presenting the best version of herself in front of the person she loved was Jiang Xinxuan’s intention for dressing up.

Now being complimented by Su Mu in person, Jiang Xinxuan felt a bit shy.

Her face turned slightly red, but thanks to her air cushion BB cream, she thought Su Mu wouldn’t notice her blushing.

"Su Mu, where will we go to watch the fireworks later?"

When Jiang Xinxuan received Su Mu’s message at noon, knowing he was with Four Eyes, she didn’t ask further.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know where the fireworks show was being held tonight.

So while she was happy that Su Mu said he would take her to a fireworks show, she didn’t know the destination.

Just as Jiang Xinxuan was preparing to leave the house, her cousin Bai Wanting had asked where she and Su Mu were going on their date.

Jiang Xinxuan could only say that Su Mu was going to take her to see fireworks, but she was completely clueless about the specific location.

Now that she was seated in Su Mu’s car, Jiang Xinxuan naturally wanted to ask.

Jiang Xinxuan wondered how there could be no buzz at all if Huadong City was hosting a fireworks show tonight.

"The pedestrian street, didn’t you know about the fireworks show there tonight?"

Su Mu thought Xuanxuan knew about it, so he didn’t elaborate in his message at noon.

Now it seemed like he had misjudged, as Xuanxuan didn’t know about it at all.

"I didn’t know."

Shaking her head, Jiang Xinxuan honestly answered Su Mu’s question.

Jiang Xinxuan had just returned to Huadong City from Huangtong City the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, she was busy accompanying her cousin to choose a wedding dress and take wedding photos.

Come evening, she watched a unique movie with Su Mu.

While others watched movies to relax, Jiang Xinxuan ended up exhausted.

This afternoon, Jiang Xinxuan accompanied her cousin shopping for the entire afternoon until dinner time before heading home.

After that, she spent time getting ready to meet Su Mu.

It could be said that Jiang Xinxuan simply hadn’t had the time to learn about the fireworks show.

In the last two days, the only people Jiang Xinxuan came into contact with were Bai Wanting and Allen.

Even Jiang Xinxuan himself didn’t know certain things, so it was even less likely that Bai Wanting and Allen, two outsiders in Huadong City, would know.

Therefore, it was impossible for someone to inform Jiang Xinxuan about the fireworks evening event.

"It’s fine if you don’t know, fasten your seatbelt and get ready to leave," he said.

Whether Xuanxuan knew about it or not wasn’t the point.

The important thing was that Su Mu knew about it, right?

It was Su Mu taking his girlfriend to see the fireworks show, and all Jiang Xinxuan had to do was follow Su Mu.

Nothing else was a problem.

"Okay."

With Su Mu leading him, Jiang Xinxuan felt he didn’t need to ask any more questions.

He depended on Su Mu with his whole heart.

It was the case for big issues and even more so for something minor like watching fireworks.

For Jiang Xinxuan, there was just one principle to follow: listening to Su Mu was never wrong.

"Boom..."

Seeing that his girlfriend had fastened her seatbelt, Su Mu wasted no more time.

He stepped on the gas pedal, and the black Ferrari shot out toward the distance.

"Auntie, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Su Mu is really a handsome guy," she said.

Following the departure of the black Ferrari, two people emerged from the inside of the gate of the Yulong Lake Villa complex.

Under the streetlight’s glow, it was clear that the two who came out were none other than Bai Wanting and Jiang Xinxuan’s mother, Bai Mingyun.

It turned out that Su Mu had never revealed his true identity before.

Let alone making a public appearance in the upper echelons of Huadong City society.

It was only on the occasion of the Su Family enterprise’s celebration banquet that Su Mu truly made his appearance.

Bai Mingyun, owing to Bai Wanting’s issues, had gone to Huangtong City.

She missed the chance to see Su Mu with her own eyes.

But that really wasn’t such a big deal.

For Bai Mingyun, even though Su Mu was the sole son of Su Ruizhi of the Su Family enterprise, it didn’t have much to do with her.

Bai Mingyun wasn’t curious enough about Su Mu to sneak peeks at him.

The problem was, Su Mu’s identity was now more than just the young master of the Su Family enterprise.

Now, Su Mu also had another identity that was very important to Bai Mingyun.

That was, Su Mu was now the boyfriend of Bai Mingyun’s daughter, Jiang Xinxuan.

Her daughter was in her first relationship, and it seemed like the young couple was making rapid progress.

How could Bai Mingyun not be curious about Su Mu?

Through Bai Wanting, Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan had a date with Su Mu tonight.

It was because Xuanxuan didn’t directly agree to bring Su Mu home in the afternoon to meet both elders, as her mother had hoped.

Bai Mingyun couldn’t resist and asked Bai Wanting to accompany her to follow Xuanxuan out of their villa.

However, Bai Mingyun knew she wasn’t supposed to show up at that moment and only stood just inside the gates of the villa complex.

With the wall for cover, Jiang Xinxuan had no idea that her mother and cousin were just a wall away, watching her and Su Mu.

"Su Mu didn’t get out of the car, I couldn’t see clearly," she complained.

Bai Mingyun had wanted to see what her daughter’s boyfriend looked like.

Since her husband, niece, and that Allen had all praised Su Mu to the skies, claiming he was incomparable.

Bai Mingyun really wanted to see whether Su Mu had grown three heads and six arms, how could he have won everyone’s hearts so quickly?

Unfortunately, Lady Luck wasn’t on her side, and Bai Mingyun didn’t get what she wished for.

Because Su Mu didn’t get out of the car at all, Bai Mingyun, looking through the car window glass, would have been surprised if she could make out Su Mu’s true appearance.

"Auntie, I told you, you were too anxious," said Bai Wanting.

"In a few days, my wedding dress photos will be ready, and Su Mu had a few shots taken with me."

"I said I’d show you the photo CD as soon as I get it, but you insisted on sneaking out to see him tonight."

"Now you didn’t see anything, did you?"

Bai Wanting touched her stomach, which wasn’t showing yet, so there certainly couldn’t be any fetal movement or anything like that.

But Bai Wanting felt like her baby already had a telepathic connection with her.

From time to time, Bai Wanting would touch her belly and communicate with her purse in her heart.

Bai Wanting always thought her aunt was a very steady person, so why was she so impatient today?

And followed all the way here to peek?

If Bai Wanting hadn’t experienced this herself, she would never have believed that her aunt was capable of doing such a thing.

"It’s because you all praised Su Mu to the skies, and I got curious," Bai Mingyun said, understandably trying to defend her impetuosity.

Being teased by her own niece when she had indulged in a rare whim, Bai Mingyun looked at Bai Wanting disapprovingly.

Was impatience only permissible for the young, while middle-aged people had to maintain their decorum at all times?

Bai Mingyun was very curious about Su Mu and thought of tonight as an opportunity to "see" her daughter’s boyfriend.

Of course, Bai Mingyun couldn’t wait to see the photos Bai Wanting would show her in a few days.

After all, seeing photos was not as authentic as seeing the person in real life.

It was truly unfortunate that, in lowering her dignity to peek, Bai Mingyun had not gotten her wish.

She was rather deflated.

And now, with Bai Wanting blundering into the discussion, who else could Bai Mingyun glower at but her "thoughtless" niece?

"Alright, it was our fault."

Knowing her aunt couldn’t back down gracefully, Bai Wanting secretly made a face, but very conscientiously took all the blame upon herself.

"Auntie, let’s go back. Now, it’s not just Su Mu we can’t see, even his car is out of sight."

Coquettishly linking arms with Bai Mingyun, Bai Wanting knew her aunt was typically softened by a gentler approach.

"Let’s go back; you, the pregnant one, also need to rest."

Bai Wanting was right, it wasn’t just Su Mu they couldn’t see now, even his car was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Mingyun knew there was no point in standing around here any longer.

She glanced at Bai Wanting’s belly, which didn’t show anything yet.

But in another two months, the difference should start to become evident.

Bai Mingyun suddenly thought of Xuanxuan’s behavior last night and wondered whether to remind her daughter about precaution.

No matter how impulsive young people are, they should still take necessary protective measures, right?

After all, Xuanxuan and Su Mu were both in the country.

Neither of them had gone to college yet, and they were both young.

If something like Bai Wanting’s premarital pregnancy happened, it would be a problem.

And not to mention Su Mu’s status - a household like the Su Family probably wouldn’t want such indelicate matters to occur, right?

Besides, the Jiang Family had a respectable place in Huadong City.

Though not on par with the Su Family, they also had considerable social standing.

Bai Mingyun certainly didn’t want her own daughter to end up pregnant before marriage, like Bai Wanting did.

It wasn’t suitable to talk about this in front of Bai Wanting, so Bai Mingyun decided she’d better have a proper chat with Xuanxuan when she returned.

...

Sitting inside Su Mu’s car, Jiang Xinxuan had no idea that she’d been followed by her mother and cousin.

If Jiang Xinxuan knew the unbelievable things her mother was capable of, I wonder what would go through her mind?

In Jiang Xinxuan’s eyes, her mother had always been the dignified image of a wealthy lady.

How could she possibly do such unspeakable acts?

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan would not find out about tonight’s events either.

Although Bai Wanting had secretly followed Jiang Xinxuan out with her aunt.

But even with a hundred guts, Bai Wanting wouldn’t dare betray her own aunt.

Ever since she was young, the person Bai Wanting feared the most was her aunt.

Although Bai Mingyun had never scolded Bai Wanting or been harsh to her niece.

But Bai Wanting was afraid of her aunt, or perhaps it was more accurate to say she revered her aunt.

Therefore, tonight’s events would have to remain a secret.

Bai Wanting wouldn’t speak of it, Bai Mingyun even less so, and so Jiang Xinxuan would never know.

Unaware of these things, Jiang Xinxuan was naturally in high spirits.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that she had been so busy with her cousin’s affairs recently that she hadn’t had a proper romantic talk with Su Mu for a long time.

Of course, last night was an exception.

Thinking of last night’s craziness, Jiang Xinxuan’s face unconsciously turned red again.

Stealing a glance at Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan found that her awkwardness seemed to have gone unnoticed by him.

She let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

If Su Mu knew that she had been constantly thinking about last night’s events, Jiang Xinxuan had no idea if he would tease her about it.

After calming herself down for a while, Jiang Xinxuan was now really looking forward to the fireworks show later.

A fireworks show at the pedestrian street?

The pedestrian street also had another name, known as Snack Street.

As a foodie, Jiang Xinxuan certainly couldn’t miss such an important event.

"Su Mu, when did you find out about the fireworks show on the pedestrian street?"

"I’ve only been in Huangtong City for a few days, how come I haven’t heard any news about it?"

Having nothing better to do, Jiang Xinxuan voiced her curiosity.

She also wanted to divert her own attention.

Jiang Xinxuan realized that she truly couldn’t afford to think about last night’s events.

Every time she thought about last night, her heart would race, and her face would uncontrollably turn red.

Maybe it was because last night’s activities were so extraordinary that it was hard for Jiang Xinxuan to forget.

If it weren’t for Jiang Xinxuan experiencing it herself, even if someone told her about it, she wouldn’t believe it.

Jiang Xinxuan would only think the person was making it up.

After all, for the general public, that cinema was just too crazy.

"I heard about it at the Su Family Group’s celebration dinner too."

"I didn’t take it to heart at the time, and it was only when I saw the date on my phone today that I remembered the fireworks show is tonight."

After his performance, Su Mu hadn’t immediately left the gathering of young people.

But Su Mu wasn’t too keen on chatting with strangers either.

So with nothing better to do, it was during this time that Su Mu overheard a few people discussing the upcoming fireworks dinner in Huadong City.

Su Mu remembered a girl saying very exaggeratedly, "If I had a boyfriend who could take me to the fireworks show, it would be so romantic."

Of course, the girl’s words also caused a burst of laughter from those around her.

Not for any other reason, but because the girl was still single.
