Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 481 - 480: Talent

Since dad and mom wouldn’t be coming back so soon, Su Mu naturally wasn’t in a hurry to go downstairs.

Su Mu knew that Grandpa definitely needed to rest a bit longer.

If Su Mu went downstairs now, he would be alone, and surely you can’t expect Su Mu to chat with a bunch of servants just to pass the time?

Su Mu hadn’t reached that level of idleness yet.

Anyway, there was still time to spare, so Su Mu picked up the phone that he had casually tossed to one side upon entering the room.

Su Mu thought he might as well browse the news to kill some time.

Upon unlocking the screen, Su Mu realized he might not have time for news after all.

The reason being that there were several unread WeChat messages showing on Su Mu’s phone screen.

He opened WeChat and started checking the messages from contacts with little red dots, deciding based on how close he was to each person.

The first was, of course, from his girlfriend Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan had already told Su Mu in the afternoon that she was going with her mother to choose wedding gifts for Bai Wanting and Allen.

Su Mu figured that his girlfriend must have already chosen the gift and returned home, which is why she sent him a WeChat message to touch base.

Upon opening it, as expected, Xuanxuan’s first message was, "Su Mu, mom and I have selected the wedding gift for cousin and Allen, now we are back home."

Because Su Mu had not replied, Jiang Xinxuan sent another message.

"When mom and I were shopping, my aunt called to say that cousin and Allen’s wedding date has been set for a week from now, we will probably need to go early to prepare, is it convenient for you?"

As it turned out, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t planned to disturb Su Mu so early.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu was accompanying Grandpa Su to an auction in the afternoon.

Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure whether Su Mu had other matters to attend to after the auction with Grandpa Su.

And she certainly didn’t dare to disturb him without reason.

It was only because her aunt had suddenly informed her that the wedding date for cousin and Allen had been set.

And it was her uncle who had personally decided on the date.

Jiang Xinxuan truly hadn’t expected her uncle to act so swiftly, with no news in the morning and everything decided by the afternoon.

Now that the wedding date for Bai Wanting and Allen was set, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan, as the best man and bridesmaid, naturally had to arrive at Huangtong City earlier.

If they waited until the day of the wedding to arrive, not to mention the issue of not making it on time,

there were many things that simply couldn’t be prepared at the last minute.

Whether the wedding could proceed smoothly was truly hard to say.

Honestly, even though the best man and bridesmaid are not the main characters at a wedding, their roles are nonetheless very important.

So, upon receiving the message from her aunt, Jiang Xinxuan felt it was better to discuss it with Su Mu sooner rather than later.

In case Su Mu had any arrangements, it would be good to sort them out sooner.

Jiang Xinxuan did not want to encounter the situation from this afternoon again.

Jiang Xinxuan had thought that Su Mu’s commitment to accompany Grandpa Su had been arranged before she had invited Su Mu to her home.

Jiang Xinxuan also felt that it was her own oversight for not asking Su Mu if he had other matters to attend to today.

What Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know was that in the eyes of Elder Su and Su Mu,

if Su Mu were to spend an entire day at his girlfriend’s house on his first visit, it wouldn’t be too appropriate.

Therefore, both Elder Su and Su Mu saw no issue with him attending the auction with Elder Su that afternoon.

In their view, the timing of the two events didn’t conflict at all.

So, it was just another misunderstanding on Jiang Xinxuan’s own part.

But no matter what, Jiang Xinxuan felt that it was right to inform Su Mu as soon as he got the news.

Su Mu checked the time, and Xuanxuan had sent the second WeChat message about ten minutes ago.

Just now, Su Mu only took a quick hot shower, not a bath, which naturally saved a lot of time.

Seeing that her boyfriend hadn’t replied to the message, Jiang Xinxuan was very conscious not to keep sending WeChat messages.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, it had already become normal for Su Mu not to reply to her messages in a timely manner.

Jiang Xinxuan was more worried about whether she was disturbing Su Mu and Grandpa Su with their work.

For Jiang Xinxuan, it was very important how the Su Family elders viewed her.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan’s limit for not receiving a reply from Su Mu was to send just two WeChat messages.

As for when Su Mu would reply to her, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t mind.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan knew that as long as Su Mu saw her WeChat messages and had the time, he would definitely reply to her.

"It’s been decided so quickly? Did your uncle give his approval?"

Su Mu didn’t know at this time that it was Xuanxuan’s uncle who had decided on the timing.

In Su Mu’s view, it was only this morning that Xuanxuan’s aunt had returned to Huangtong City with Bai Wanting and Allen.

The whole day hadn’t even passed, and the specific date for the wedding had already been set.

If it weren’t for Xuanxuan’s uncle’s approval, it really couldn’t have been decided.

"Of course, my uncle gave his approval. Not only that, my aunt said that the wedding hotel was personally contacted by my uncle."

Unlike Su Mu’s response speed, Jiang Xinxuan always maintained the good quality of replying instantly.

Of course, except for the occasional one or two special circumstances, Jiang Xinxuan was basically a good girl who would reply to her boyfriend’s messages instantly.

Thinking about the tone in which her aunt had called her mom that afternoon, the corners of Jiang Xinxuan’s mouth curled up.

It turned out that once Jiang Xinxuan’s uncle learned that Su Mu, the young master of the Su Corporation, had agreed to be Allen’s groomsman.

Bai Mingqi’s attitude had taken a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn.

Not only did he stop voicing any angry opposition to Bai Wanting and Allen’s marriage, but he also actively started planning it.

It seemed as if it wasn’t Bai Mingqi who had opposed Bai Wanting and Allen’s marriage in the first place.

Moreover, Bai Mingqi’s attitude towards Allen had obviously improved a lot.

He no longer glared or bristled his whiskers when he saw Allen.

Now, sometimes when Bai Mingqi saw Allen, he would even light up and chuckle to himself.

He Jingfen, who knew the reason for Bai Mingqi’s change of attitude, was also happy to see it happen.

Bai Wanting, of course, was very happy that her dad no longer opposed her marriage to Allen.

But occasionally, Bai Wanting would touch her belly, feeling that the little thing inside her wasn’t as important to her dad as Su Mu’s name.

To say she wasn’t upset would be impossible.

However, Bai Wanting also knew that her dad’s proactive attitude toward her and Allen’s wedding, no matter from which angle, was something she genuinely appreciated in her heart.

Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t possibly feel the same kind of upset when she heard her aunt say this.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, this only showed how awesome her boyfriend was.

Jiang Xinxuan was certainly very proud.

"Su Mu, do you have time now? Has the auction you attended with Grandpa ended?"

Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure if her boyfriend truly had time now, or if he was just taking a moment to reply to her message.

If Su Mu was still with Grandpa Su at this time, Jiang Xinxuan felt it was better not to send too many messages to Su Mu.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan had already told Su Mu the confirmed date of her cousin’s wedding with Allen.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that since Su Mu had agreed to be Allen’s best man, he definitely wouldn’t back out at the last minute.

As for the other small details, Jiang Xinxuan was of course willing to discuss them slowly when Su Mu really had the time.

After all, Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding was a week away.

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were just the best man and maid of honor.

So, for Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan, there weren’t really any pressing matters to attend to.

They just had to arrive in Huangtong City a day or two in advance.

Although Jiang Xinxuan also felt that her uncle had set the date for the cousin’s wedding a bit too suddenly.

But as long as Bai Wanting and Allen didn’t mind, there probably wouldn’t be any major issues for Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan was certain that she had no problems at all.

Now it all depended on Su Mu’s schedule.

Jiang Xinxuan thought it was fortunate that Su Mu was on summer vacation now, just like her, a student waiting to start university.

This meant that other matters didn’t need to be taken into consideration, and there should be plenty of time.

"The auction has ended, and I’m at home now."

Su Mu lounged leisurely on the beanbag chair in his bedroom; he had the most time availability at this moment.

"Then take a look at your schedule; my uncle has set the wedding for my cousin and Allen a week from now."

"As the best man and maid of honor, we probably need to go to Huangtong City a day or two in advance. Do you have time?"

When Jiang Xinxuan first invited Su Mu to be Allen’s best man, the wedding for Allen and Bai Wanting wasn’t even a sure thing.

What wasn’t a sure thing was the attitude of Jiang Xinxuan’s uncle.

Now, that uncertainty had been firmly settled, and naturally the wedding was scheduled.

This assurance, due to Su Mu’s influence, became extraordinarily enthusiastic.

It led to Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding feeling a bit rushed.

But the people involved also wished for it to be this way, and now the Bai Family had not a single objection.

Jiang Xinxuan really didn’t expect her cousin’s wedding to be such a sudden surprise.

Though Jiang Xinxuan had known that, due to her cousin’s pregnancy, the wedding wouldn’t be delayed for too long.

But still, she felt that a week was a bit rushed.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan needed to ask Su Mu’s opinion first.

"No problem, I’m not working right now, so of course, I have the time."

Su Mu realized that ever since he reclaimed his identity as the young master of the Su Family, the biggest change was having a lot of free time.

When Su Mu didn’t know his real identity, there was no way he had the leisure to lie at home and chat with a girlfriend.

If it were before, Su Mu would have been busy working at this time.

As for having a girlfriend, that was definitely out of the question.

It’s worth noting that Jiang Xinxuan had expressed her fondness for Su Mu for several years.

Yet Su Mu still didn’t make Jiang Xinxuan his girlfriend.

Jiang Xinxuan had always liked Su Mu very much.

This point was known to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan’s high school classmates at the time.

It was just that the parties involved didn’t mention it, and at that time, the number of girls who liked Su Mu in school was countless.

So no one paid too much attention to Jiang Xinxuan’s attitude towards Su Mu.

It was because of Su Mu’s attitude that Jiang Xinxuan had become unconfident.

Therefore, it was only after Su Mu resumed his true identity that Jiang Xinxuan had the opportunity to have Su Mu accept his feelings.

"That’s great, I’ll tell my cousin and Allen later that we have no issues here, so they can take care of the other wedding arrangements with peace of mind."

Hearing that her boyfriend had time, Jiang Xinxuan was of course very happy.

Now, her family already knew about her relationship with Su Mu.

Su Mu had also formally met Jiang Xinxuan’s parents.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu’s willingness to go to Huangtong City with her one or two days in advance was a sign of how much he valued her.

If Su Mu had said it was inconvenient at this time, Jiang Xinxuan would not have known how to explain to her cousin and her uncle and aunt, as well as her own parents.

Although the wedding was a bit rushed, Su Mu’s attitude still explained a lot.

Jiang Xinxuan had no worries at this point.

"Come with me to pick out a wedding gift for Allen tomorrow."

Su Mu felt that compared to Bai Wanting, who had family and friends around her, Allen seemed quite alone.

Although Su Mu had not known Allen for a long time, they both had feelings of mutual admiration for each other.

Su Mu was indeed picking out the wedding gift with Allen in mind.

"Okay, but I don’t know what Allen likes."

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t ask her boyfriend why he emphasized the gift was specifically for Allen.

After all, in Jiang Xinxuan’s view, whatever Su Mu said was right.

If Su Mu didn’t say it was a wedding gift for Bai Wanting, there must be a reason behind it.

Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t press the matter.

But really, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know what Allen liked.

It wasn’t just that Allen was a boy; apart from caring about Su Mu’s preferences, Jiang Xinxuan really hadn’t studied what other boys liked.

Moreover, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t particularly close to Allen.

Thinking about the timing, Jiang Xinxuan had only known Allen a few days longer than Su Mu had.

But Jiang Xinxuan guessed that the combined words she and Allen had exchanged over those days probably weren’t as many as Su Mu and Allen had shared in just a few hours.

That was because when Jiang Xinxuan and her mother hurried to Huangtong City, the main goal was to appease her uncle’s anger.

Of course, it was Jiang Xinxuan’s mother who stepped in, and Jiang Xinxuan could only accompany her cousin.

As for her future cousin-in-law, Jiang Xinxuan merely greeted Allen politely at first, given that they were strangers, of different genders, and Allen was a foreigner.

During the following days, Jiang Xinxuan remembered only nodding to Allen in greeting when they encountered each other at home.

Now that Su Mu wanted her to help him pick out a wedding gift for Allen, Jiang Xinxuan naturally felt she was not up to the task.

"No worries, let’s have a look tomorrow, and we’ll buy whatever seems appropriate."

Su Mu’s reason for asking his girlfriend to accompany him wasn’t because he expected Xuanxuan to understand Allen’s preferences.

Su Mu simply felt that in the matter of shopping, girls had a bit more talent.
