Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 502 - 501: The Unknown Factor

Su Mu probably had some understanding of the situation.

Although Four Eyes and Li Minli did go out on a date, according to Li Minli, the two of them were only supposed to go out as friends for the day.

At least that was definitely the relationship between them when they first went out.

As for Li Minli’s thoughts later on, because Four Eyes didn’t keep up with the ring, their relationship remained that of ordinary friends in the end.

Su Mu noticed that the Moment Four Eyes posted was already up by the afternoon.

That is to say, at that time, Four Eyes probably hadn’t realized that he might have missed a very good opportunity to officially win over the silhouette girl, Li Minli.

So at that time, Four Eyes went out to play with Li Minli just as normal friends.

Four Eyes looked very happy.

He had taken several silhouette photos of Li Minli, along with a caption: "The most beautiful silhouette girl".

Su Mu didn’t know whether Li Minli had seen Four Eyes’ Moment at the time.

After all, they had already added each other as friends, so it was only a matter of time before Li Minli would see it.

It just depended on whether Li Minli had time to check Moments on her phone then.

If Li Minli saw Four Eyes’ Moment, maybe she would be moved and praise Four Eyes on the spur of the moment.

If Four Eyes had made a confession at that moment, perhaps their relationship could have become official.

If Li Minli said those words to Su Mu without seeing Four Eyes’ posted Moment,

Su Mu felt that Four Eyes really caught her eye.

This wouldn’t be just a spur-of-the-moment thing for Li Minli; it seemed Four Eyes still stood a very good chance.

Of course, this was just Su Mu’s speculation, and he didn’t feel the need to verify which circumstance it was.

All Su Mu needed to do was to wait for Four Eyes to share the good news with him.

The Moment Four Eyes posted was quite low-key, without any displays of wealth.

Perhaps he didn’t want others to know where he was dating the silhouette girl.

Four Eyes had even blurred the backgrounds in the photos.

It was the first time Su Mu realized that Four Eyes had started to become cunning.

Yet his cleverness didn’t seem to be very effective when it came to crucial matters.

The comments under Four Eyes’ Moment, however, were exploding.

It was evident that his classmates led quite leisurely lives during the summer vacation.

They seemingly had plenty of time on their hands.

If everyone had been very busy, there wouldn’t be so many people leaving timely messages and replies in Four Eyes’ Moments.

Keep in mind, Su Mu still had time to browse Moments near midnight.

Which means, if everyone had been really busy, then the comment section under Four Eyes’ Moment wouldn’t have been so lively.

By the time everyone would have had the chance to see it, it would have been old news.

Naturally, people wouldn’t be as eager to leave comments.

Quickly scanning through the comments under Four Eyes’ Moment, most of them were surprised by the speed at which things developed with the silhouette girl.

There were quite a few similar comments.

"Four Eyes, you didn’t really get your silhouette girl, did you?"

"Wow, Four Eyes, since when did you become so proactive? You even outpaced me in asking out beauties."

"Four Eyes, you didn’t know your silhouette girl from before, did you? Was that last photo deliberately shot without showing her face? Otherwise, how could you possibly go on a date with her so quickly? You shouldn’t have even known her that well in such a short time, right?"

"Four Eyes, come clean, how did you manage to win over your silhouette girl?"

"Four Eyes, stop keeping us on tenterhooks. Do you dare to show us the face of your silhouette girl?"

"Four Eyes, what’s the meaning of always putting a silhouette in your Moments? Could this just be a staged photo? If you really got this fast, do you have the guts to show us her face?"

"Four Eyes, tell me, where is this silhouette girl from? What’s her family background? Have any of us met her? And how did you find her?"

...

Su Mu originally thought his classmates only knew how to show off their wealth on Moments, which he found quite boring.

Seeing everyone’s comments in Four Eyes’ Moments, he suddenly felt that they were actually quite humorous.

However, the questions everyone was chasing Four Eyes for could be summed up in a few points.

The first point was how Four Eyes had managed to win over the silhouette girl.

After all, Four Eyes never said in his Moments that his relationship with the silhouette girl was merely platonic.

To everyone else, going out together like that, plus Four Eyes’ bold proclamation last time, led them to jump to conclusions, which was understandable.

The second point was whether Four Eyes had known the silhouette girl before.

Based on their understanding of Four Eyes, if he hadn’t previously known the silhouette girl, how could he possibly have won her over so quickly?

After all, if he didn’t know the silhouette girl to begin with, with Four Eyes’ usual pace, it would still be an unknown if he even could have gotten to know her by now, let alone go out and play together.

It can be said that as classmates, they knew Four Eyes very well.

Having such a doubt was quite normal.

The third point was an extension of the second. freewebnoveℓ.com

If Four Eyes hadn’t known the silhouette girl before, everyone would certainly be curious about how he managed to meet her and get her to go out in such a short time.

After all, in a sea of people, finding someone you don’t know is not that easy.

Despite it being the digital age, if there was no information about the silhouette girl at all,

finding her would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

So, everyone was very puzzled by Four Eyes’ sudden display of impressive capabilities.

Everyone knew Four Eyes’ background very well.

Even though Four Eyes was indeed a rich second generation, everyone knew that he wasn’t that capable.

Unless...

Thinking of Four Eyes’ relationship with Su Mu, everyone had a hunch.

Yet, they dared not blatantly mention Su Mu’s name in Four Eyes’ Moments.

After all, this was just their speculation. If it wasn’t Su Mu’s help, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

That was something everyone was wary of.

Hence, they simply kept pressing Four Eyes for answers in his Moments without presumptuously voicing their own guesses.

Last but not least, and certainly a point of great interest to everyone.

Why is it that Four Eyes, even now, still only posts photos of the girl’s back on his social media?

Everyone was quite dissatisfied that Four Eyes again only shared a photo of a girl’s back profile.

Logically speaking, since Four Eyes has started dating the girl, why doesn’t he satisfy everyone’s curiosity and share a front-facing photo of her at the very least?

Could it be that Four Eyes is afraid someone might steal his mystery girl just by seeing her face?

Everyone felt they were no saints, but they wouldn’t stoop to doing such underhanded things.

So, regarding Four Eyes’ recent social media post, there were a lot of complaints.

The questions started with how Four Eyes managed to date the back-profile girl and ended with collective skepticism about why he only shared photos of her back profile.

Even though people read Four Eyes’ accompanying text.

"The most beautiful from behind," where obviously the focus was on the back.

But no one was interested in seeing just the back profile.

No matter how attractive it is, what’s the point if the key part—the face—is left out?

In today’s society, appearances are everything. If you have a face like a smashed pumpkin, what good is an alluring back-profile?

However, those classmates also understood that Four Eyes would never really go for someone with a smashed-pumpkin face.

After all, as a bona fide rich second generation, the beauties Four Eyes had seen were not few in number.

Although Four Eyes lacked experience in dating, he certainly wasn’t face-blind.

Bear in mind, even if Four Eyes didn’t have close female friends,

there were plenty of beauties at Huadong City International Middle School.

Even the School Beauty, Jiang Xinxuan, was in the same class as Four Eyes.

Therefore, no one believed Four Eyes had a significant lapse in aesthetic judgment.

The main focus of everyone’s hounding of Four Eyes was why he was keeping them in suspense and not sharing a front-facing photo of this mysterious girl.

"The time isn’t right yet, when the moment comes I will definitely satisfy everyone’s curiosity," Four Eyes must have said after his date with Li Minli, finding the time to reply to the messages from his classmates in the social media thread.

Su Mu noticed that by the time Four Eyes replied with this message, the comments on his social media were frighteningly numerous.

He didn’t know whether to commend Four Eyes for his popularity or to say that everyone was just too free.

In the absence of Four Eyes’ response, everyone still left so many enthusiastic messages.

Su Mu continued to scroll down because he noticed that after Four Eyes replied, his classmates seemed to be even more agitated, as if given a vent for release.

"What do you mean by ’when the time comes’? You’re already dating the back-profile girl; isn’t it time yet?"

"Yeah, Four Eyes, that excuse is pretty flimsy. Are you deliberately teasing us singles?"

"What singles? I have a girlfriend. Four Eyes, you’re really stingy. I’ve brought my girlfriend to school for you all to see, and you can’t even share one front-facing photo in your social media."

"Four Eyes, is there some hidden story? Or is it that your back-profile girl isn’t that pretty after all?"

"That doesn’t make sense; is Four Eyes’ taste really that bad? I think Four Eyes just wants to keep us in suspense."

"Four Eyes, you’re really being unfair. Look how enthusiastic we all are when you post on social media, yet you pull something like this."

"Are you acting like this because we’ve graduated from high school, Four Eyes? Careful, or a few of us brothers might show up at your doorstep tomorrow to confront you. I’m sure we can catch you out with your back-profile girl, and I’ll definitely take several photos then to expose the face of the girl you’ve been hiding in our class group chat."

Su Mu noticed that everyone’s emotions were getting more and more excited, as if Four Eyes didn’t let everyone "review" Li Minli’s frontal photo, they wouldn’t let Four Eyes off the hook.

Look, someone even thought of the method of blocking the door.

Su Mu felt this person was really too idle.

He checked and sure enough, it was his high school classmate, known as "Xian Tailang."

Su Mu wasn’t very familiar with this Xian Tailang.

But after all, having been classmates for three years, Su Mu still knew some basic information about him.

This, of course, was thanks to Four Eyes’ big mouth and enthusiasm.

Even if Su Mu didn’t want to know about these people he didn’t care about, Four Eyes would chatter away next to him.

There was no helping it; Su Mu, with his super-strong memory, passively remembered quite a bit.

Su Mu remembered Four Eyes once saying that Xian Tailang’s family was very well off.

Of course, aside from the few who got into Huadong City International Middle School through their grades, the families of the other students were obviously either rich or noble.

This was something Su Mu was very clear about, even without Four Eyes mentioning it.

After all, Xian Tailang’s grades were consistently at the bottom.

This excluded the possibility that Xian Tailang had gotten into Huadong City International Middle School on his own merit.

Suddenly, Su Mu realized that he didn’t even remember Xian Tailang’s real name.

It was probably because the three characters of Xian Tailang had already become that classmate’s special nickname, and the real name was no longer familiar to everyone.

Su Mu remembered Four Eyes explaining the origin of Xian Tailang’s name.

It was because Xian Tailang’s family had money, and Xian Tailang himself was not a go-getter.

As a result, Xian Tailang didn’t need to spend time on studying at all.

When a student stops studying, of course, they have plenty of time on their hands.

The ultimate result of being too idle was that a perfectly good high school student became Xian Tailang.

As long as it wasn’t about studying, Xian Tailang wanted to meddle in everything.

At first, no one knew who gave him the nickname "Xian Tailang."

It must have been because everyone thought it was very apt, and the three characters "Xian Tailang" just spread like that.

What’s more, Xian Tailang himself didn’t see anything bad about this nickname, and readily accepted it.

Since it was Xian Tailang who put out such a statement, Su Mu knew that if Four Eyes didn’t show some reaction, Xian Tailang would really make good on his threat.

After all, he had all the time in the world; this may have even given Xian Tailang something to do to pass the time.

Typically, when dealing with a shameless person, one just has to accept their bad luck.

This time, with Xian Tailang putting out tough words, Four Eyes’ situation wasn’t much different from dealing with a shameless person.

For a moment, Su Mu actually became quite interested.

Su Mu wanted to see how his good friend would deal with and get rid of this boring Xian Tailang.

After all, if he couldn’t satisfy Xian Tailang, the guy might really end up waiting at the gate of Four Eyes’ villa.

Such boring and shameless actions were very suited to someone like Xian Tailang.
