Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 415 - 414 Unimpeded

"How beautiful! Look at that one, it’s the biggest and prettiest," she exclaimed.

"Not at all, the fireworks over there are the most beautiful. They also have the most colors," another argued.

"I think the animal-shaped fireworks are the most interesting; they can even change into different little animals, so cute," someone else pointed out.

"Quick, look, the fountain is changing too, it’s really so beautiful."

"It’s my first time seeing such a beautiful fountain on this pedestrian street. In the past, there wasn’t so much variety."

"Me too, me too. I think this fireworks banquet was a huge success. We should suggest to the authorities to hold these events more often."

...

The crowd around them let out sighs of admiration.

Of course, most of the people who came to watch the fireworks banquet were young.

Naturally, they were also more enthusiastic.

If some older folks were here to watch the fireworks banquet at this time,

just the thought of the crowdedness would probably dissuade a good number of them.

The younger people’s theory of ’the more crowded, the merrier’ does not apply to the older generation.

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were not as animated as the rest of the audience, dancing and gesturing with their hands and feet.

Jiang Xinxuan was just quietly nestled in Su Mu’s embrace, enjoying the beautiful scenery with her beloved.

After all, the cost of setting off a box of fireworks was not low, let alone the ceaseless launch of a dozen boxes of fireworks.

Considering the cost, the fireworks banquet lasted for about half an hour before it came to an end.

The fountain’s cost was much lower, so it didn’t cease with the fireworks.

But now, without the accompaniment of the fireworks, the fountain at that moment seemed far less appealing.

"It’s over, let’s go back," Su Mu said when he noticed the staff had begun to clear the emptied fireworks boxes.

The fireworks banquet had come to an end, and there was, of course, no reason to linger any longer.

And besides, last night Su Mu had taken Xuanxuan out to experience something different, resulting in a late return.

Su Mu felt there was no need to repeat last night’s story this evening.

Although tonight, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were really just innocently dating.

There were no actions beyond that.

Still, Su Mu thought about Xuanxuan being a girl; if she came home late two nights in a row, it probably wouldn’t be easy to explain to her family.

Plus, tomorrow he still had to pick out gifts with her for a visit.

Of course, Su Mu would not let his girlfriend stay up late two nights in a row.

"Okay," Jiang Xinxuan certainly wouldn’t have any objections.

Seeing that the fireworks banquet had ended and the crowd around the fountain was starting to disperse, Jiang Xinxuan realized it was time to leave.

Yet, the crowd around where Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu were standing seemed to have no intention of leaving.

At first, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t noticed, too engrossed in the fireworks – she had overlooked the fact that many people had gathered around herself and Su Mu.

Because the crowd had not pushed towards them, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t paid much attention.

Now that the fireworks banquet was over, Jiang Xinxuan casually looked around and realized she had been too naïve.

With so many people coming to see the fireworks banquet, and their spot being so prime, how could there not be others around?

That they hadn’t disturbed her and Su Mu while watching the fireworks, Jiang Xinxuan was quite pleased with the surrounding crowd for that.

But now that the fireworks banquet was over and everyone else seemed reluctant to leave,

Jiang Xinxuan noticed that people were once again glancing towards her and Su Mu, unintentionally or otherwise.

Here we go again!

Jiang Xinxuan was by now resigned to it, feeling more helpless than anything else.

With a boyfriend as outstanding as hers, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t even know what to feel anymore.

Since nobody wanted to leave, Jiang Xinxuan decided to go by herself.

After all, there were no more fireworks to watch, and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to stay and be gawked at.

The most important thing was, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want Su Mu to be gawked at.

Su Mu shifted from hugging his girlfriend’s arm to holding Xuanxuan’s little hand.

Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman preparing to leave, the crowd automatically made way for them.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan casually walked towards the parking lot.

"It’s my first time seeing such a handsome guy, why is he leaving just like that?"

"And what do you want, for the handsome guy to give you a signed photo?"

"Exactly, even if you asked, the handsome guy wouldn’t bother with you. Didn’t you see his girlfriend is a big beauty? Can you compare to her?"

"How come I’ve never seen such a handsome guy in Huadong City before? Could it be that he’s not from Huadong City?"

"You probably don’t know, but the handsome guy is the young master of our Huadong City’s Su Family Group, Young Master Su."

"Really? How come I didn’t know that?"

"There’s a lot you don’t know."

The crowd that was originally gossiping exploded with excitement at the words of someone who seemed to know some insider information.

Everyone wanted to surround the person who broke the news and ask them more questions.

Unfortunately, the informant left nonchalantly after dropping such a hint.

That person was one of the spectators who had witnessed Su Mu’s exhibition of Champion Driving Skill with Zhou Haoming.

It’s not that he didn’t want to reveal more; it’s just that was all he knew.

If he had stayed there to be interrogated by these people, it would have been only a matter of time before he was exposed.

Quit while ahead, the informant left with people’s envious gazes, feeling triumphant.

Those who remained naturally began a new round of discussion.

Only Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan didn’t bother to pay attention to these.

For Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan, the looks of envy or adoration and the words that came with them were too familiar, and there was no need to keep listening.

They made their way to the parking lot without any obstruction.

Su Mu took the car key out of his pocket and pressed the unlock button.

"Beep beep"

The headlights of the black Ferrari 812 flamboyantly lit up.

As Su Mu opened the driver’s side door, Jiang Xinxuan went around to the passenger side and opened the passenger door herself.

Jiang Xinxuan always had this advantage; she was never pretentious around Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t think it was a given for her boyfriend to wait on her.

Nor did she feel that a girl should always wait for the boyfriend to open the car door for her.

It was as though these bad habits didn’t exist for Jiang Xinxuan.

Su Mu also didn’t find anything abnormal about his girlfriend’s behavior.

Opening the car door and getting in by oneself is manageable with hands, isn’t it?

The two of them almost got into the car at the same time.

"Fasten your seatbelt."

Perhaps because Jiang Xinxuan was still reminiscing about the spectacular scene of the fireworks banquet,

she had forgotten such an important thing after getting into the car.

"Okay, I forgot."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Jiang Xinxuan had indeed forgotten.

Su Mu smiled knowingly, guessing that Xuanxuan’s heart was still with the fireworks.

"Vroom..."

A black Ferrari never keeps a low profile wherever it goes.

With a bold roar, the black Ferrari dashed forward in the dark night, like a swift leopard.

With his champion driving skill, Su Mu certainly didn’t think his speed was fast.

Besides, he was still in the city, so Su Mu couldn’t possibly be speeding.

It could only be said that the Ferrari was driven somewhat fiercely.

As someone who often rode with Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan had gotten used to it.

"Look, that’s Young Master Su’s car from the Su Family Group, he’s driving so fast."

"Young Master Su’s driving skill is really impressive."

"Isn’t that a Ferrari 812? It must be expensive."

"Does Young Master Su’s car even need to be mentioned? If it weren’t expensive, could it be worthy of Young Master Su?"

...

None of these discussing voices could enter Su Mu’s or Jiang Xinxuan’s ears.

Not to mention that the Ferrari’s windows were closed tight.

Even with Su Mu’s speed, these discussing voices couldn’t be transmitted over.

"Su Mu, what time will you come to pick me up tomorrow?"

Su Mu had already promised to go to her place tomorrow.

However, Su Mu insisted on choosing a gift first, and Jiang Xinxuan thought it would be better to ask about the time in advance.

As a girl, Jiang Xinxuan naturally needed to dress up before going out with her boyfriend for a stroll.

So, it was better for Jiang Xinxuan to ask about the time in advance to prepare.

"Let’s make it nine thirty tomorrow morning. I need to practice some Tai Chi with grandfather in the morning."

Su Mu estimated in his mind; if he got up, had breakfast with his grandfather, and then did a set of Tai Chi Fist, it should be a little past eight.

If he worked up a sweat, Su Mu would need to take a shower and such.

After the whole routine, Su Mu felt that he would probably leave home a little after eight thirty.

There should be no traffic congestion on the mountain roads by that time.

But the city center was another story.

Su Mu thought that nine thirty was a more certain time.

Su Mu knew Xuanxuan’s personality. Even if Su Mu said nine thirty, Xuanxuan would definitely be waiting outside the villa compound ten minutes earlier.

In that case, even if there was no traffic, by the time Su Mu arrived at Yulong Lake Villa, Xuanxuan would already be waiting there.

Su Mu wouldn’t have to waste time waiting, and Xuanxuan wouldn’t have to wait too long.

Su Mu thought this timing was just right.

"Okay, then I’ll wait for you at the entrance at nine thirty tomorrow."

Jiang Xinxuan nodded, as having a specific time from Su Mu made it easier for her to plan.

"Su Mu, do you like practicing Tai Chi?"

Now that the important matter was settled, Jiang Xinxuan felt at ease.

She recalled that Su Mu had never mentioned liking Tai Chi before.

Could this be a hobby of Su Mu’s?

Jiang Xinxuan voiced her curiosity.

"At first, I just wanted to accompany my grandfather and practice with him, as he’s been living alone for years and it’s too lonely."

"Later, I found that Tai Chi was quite good, and gradually got the hang of it."

Su Mu didn’t say too much sentimental stuff.

The old man living alone in the castle for so many years was indeed too desolate.

Su Mu just wanted to fulfill his filial duties.

Since Xuanxuan knew about the Su family’s unwritten rule, Su Mu had nothing to conceal.

"Hmm."

Jiang Xinxuan also felt that the Su family’s unwritten rule was a bit too impersonal.

Not only was Su Mu’s true identity concealed from him since birth, but he also lived as an ordinary person.

For Su Mu’s sake, his mom and dad even squeezed with him into that small two-bedroom place.

Now that Su Mu had mentioned his grandfather, Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu’s grandfather was also a "victim."

Wasn’t the best evidence the fact that the elderly man couldn’t enjoy family happiness by Su Mu’s side for eighteen years?

"Want to learn? It’s not bad for girls to learn Tai Chi too."

Su Mu wasn’t as sentimental as Jiang Xinxuan.

In Su Mu’s eyes, the past was already past.

Su Mu didn’t think his days before eighteen were that hard. Since it was the Su Family’s ancestral rule, and Su Mu’s dad had no intention to change it, then Su Mu could only accept it.

As for what would happen with Su Mu’s generation, that was something to be discussed in the future.

Su Mu didn’t want to worry about those shadowless things right now.

It must wait until the birth of Su Mu’s son to be concerned with the Su Family’s unwritten rules again.

Right now, not to mention a son, Su Mu hadn’t even married yet.

If he worried about such matters now, it would truly be a needless concern.

Besides, Su Mu felt that the Su Family’s rules were not unchangeable.

Adhering blindly to conventions isn’t necessarily useful, right?

Su Mu thought that the only thing he could do right now was take advantage of the summer vacation to spend more time with the old man.

Su Mu changed the topic, feeling that switching to something more light-hearted was more appropriate.

"Really? Can you teach me?"

Jiang Xinxuan’s eyes lit up when she heard Su Mu’s words.

It wasn’t that Jiang Xinxuan was particularly interested in Tai Chi or anything.

Jiang Xinxuan had only seen people practicing Tai Chi in TV dramas.

How could she be interested in Tai Chi?

What excited Jiang Xinxuan was not the sport of Tai Chi.

Jiang Xinxuan was not a person enthusiastic about sports, to begin with.

Jiang Xinxuan was excited because since Su Mu had mentioned it, she felt that if her boyfriend taught her Tai Chi, then they would have much more time together.

So, Jiang Xinxuan asked quite directly.

If Su Mu had no intention of teaching her, Jiang Xinxuan thought she might as well forget it.

Jiang Xinxuan had no desire to spend so much time practicing Tai Chi with anyone else.

When watching TV, Jiang Xinxuan thought that the movements of Tai Chi seemed slow and easy to learn.

That’s why Jiang Xinxuan had the courage to ask Su Mu to teach her.

Jiang Xinxuan knew she lacked athletic talent. If it were some more intense sports, Jiang Xinxuan really might not have the courage to learn them.

"Teach you?"

"It might be a bit difficult right now, I always practice with grandfather in the morning."

Su Mu simply thought that Xuanxuan, as a girl, could also learn.

He hadn’t expected that Xuanxuan would ask him to teach her.

Right now, Su Mu and Xuanxuan were not living together, so teaching her wouldn’t be so convenient.

"I see, then teach me when you have the chance," Jiang Xinxuan said.

Jiang Xinxuan, excited by the prospect of spending more time with Su Mu, hadn’t considered that it really wasn’t very convenient.

She thought that although they would be attending the same university in two months, they wouldn’t be on the same campus.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her wish for Su Mu to teach her Tai Chi might not be realized anytime soon.

"No problem."

Since it was agreed to teach when there was a chance, Su Mu naturally wouldn’t refuse.

On the way, the two chatted about other things, and the Ferrari soon arrived at the entrance of the Yulong Lake Villa area.
