Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 503 - 502: Someone is Following Us

"Xian Tailang, do you really have to do this, block my front door? I’m also not in a position to share a girl’s photo, am I?"

When dealing with a pest like this, Four Eyes was clearly getting anxious.

Four Eyes knew Xian Tailang all too well.

To be honest, Four Eyes was actually scared of seeing Xian Tailang leisurely waiting for him outside his villa’s gate when he left.

At that time, Four Eyes wouldn’t be touched by Xian Tailang’s persistence, that feeling of being hassled by a pest wasn’t liked by anyone.

Four Eyes knew that Xian Tailang might really do such a thing, not because Xian Tailang was known for keeping his word or anything like that.

What Four Eyes knew was that Xian Tailang had one characteristic: he was just too idle.

For a person who was anxious with idleness to finally find something to do, especially if it was the kind of trivial matter Xian Tailang loved, he would certainly become someone who kept his word.

Of course, Four Eyes didn’t want to see Xian Tailang keep his word to him.

Four Eyes wasn’t idle to the extent Xian Tailang was.

Moreover, Four Eyes was afraid that if Xian Tailang kept following him, how could he ask Li Minli out to have fun next time?

If there’s always a tail following them during their dates, who knows what Li Minli would think?

If Li Minli got scared or thought Four Eyes was followed because he was a bad person or something and didn’t want to go out on dates with Four Eyes anymore—

Wouldn’t Four Eyes and Li Minli’s relationship have to say goodbye?

Four Eyes dared not take that risk.

Four Eyes even began to regret it in his heart.

If he had known that posting on social media would attract Xian Tailang’s attention, Four Eyes would have never impulsively posted that update.

He should have just silently celebrated in his heart.

Or he could have sent a message to Su Mu, a small celebration would have been enough.

That way, he wouldn’t have attracted Xian Tailang’s attention.

Four Eyes felt he had been really careless.

Mainly it was because last time he posted on social media, Xian Tailang didn’t show up or say anything.

Four Eyes had even forgotten that there was such a person in his friend list.

"What’s the inconvenience? You’ve already asked the girl out on a date. You’re telling me you can’t even share a front-faced photo? Are you kidding me?"

Seeing Four Eyes cornered, Xian Tailang was obviously quite smug.

"Four Eyes, I’m putting it out there, the whole class is watching. If you don’t post a photo on social media to show your mysterious girl’s face, I’ll block you at the entrance of your villa complex tomorrow."

"Although I don’t know your exact address, I do know which villa complex you live in."

If Xian Tailang were talking to Four Eyes face to face at this time, Four Eyes would probably see Xian Tailang sitting with his legs crossed.

What originally had nothing to do with Xian Tailang somehow became tangled with him.

Four Eyes truly felt like crying but had no tears; he had just posted on social media because he was happy, how did he end up entangled with Xian Tailang?

Seeing the messages sent by Xian Tailang, Su Mu’s brows slightly furrowed.

He had never interacted with this Xian Tailang before and had not expected that there would be such a shameless person in his class.

If Four Eyes wanted to share a front-faced photo of Li Minli, then he would; if not, at most everyone would joke about it and nag Four Eyes a bit.

Who would have thought that Xian Tailang would act like a big shot, as if he wouldn’t rest until Four Eyes shared a front-faced photo of Li Minli?

Does Xian Tailang really think of himself as some kind of potted plant now?

Su Mu felt that even Four Eyes’ parents wouldn’t necessarily force him to show them Li Minli’s full-face photo, right?

Not to mention that Four Eyes and Li Minli weren’t even in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship yet.

Of course, perhaps Four Eyes’ social circle had given everyone a misunderstanding, making them think that he had fulfilled his promise by making the girl-from-behind official.

But that’s no reason for Xian Tailang to pressurize Four Eyes into posting the girl-from-behind’s full-face photo.

Even if Four Eyes indeed started dating the girl-from-behind.

Whether or not to post the girl-from-behind’s full-face photo was Four Eyes’ right.

Su Mu really couldn’t comprehend what Xian Tailang was thinking, having the audacity to make such an overtly intrusive demand from Four Eyes.

Xian Tailang didn’t just make a demand; he also seemed resolute, as if he wouldn’t rest until his demand was met.

And so, Xian Tailang began "threatening" Four Eyes right there in his social circle.

Su Mu noticed that, because of Xian Tailang’s interference, the other classmates seemed to have an unspoken agreement to stop hounding Four Eyes for the girl-from-behind’s full-face photo.

Perhaps at first, everyone was just joking around and didn’t think much of it.

An inoffensive joke was also proof of good camaraderie amongst classmates.

It’s just that now, with Xian Tailang pulling such a stunt, the atmosphere in Four Eyes’ social circle had suddenly shifted.

Clearly, no one dared to continue joking around.

If someone still hooted along at this juncture, wouldn’t that be blatantly siding with Xian Tailang?

Never mind that it would be quite unkind.

Everyone certainly remembered something very important: that Four Eyes had a good friend, Su Mu.

Back when Su Mu was only known as a top student, everyone at school was already quite wary of him.

If Su Mu’s status had never changed, perhaps after high school graduation, everyone’s wariness towards him might have lessened significantly.

After all, if Su Mu remained just an ordinary kid from a regular family, whether they would cross paths with him in the future was uncertain.

Everyone’s cautiousness towards Su Mu in school would naturally fade with the end of their high school years.

Now, however, Su Mu’s identity was that of the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.

With such a status, not to mention Huadong City, he could have his way even beyond its borders.

Everyone was crystal clear on this understanding.

Consequently, due to Four Eyes being good friends with Su Mu back in school, naturally no one dared to press Four Eyes like Xian Tailang did.

Whether Su Mu’s friends could be provoked was something everyone was mindful of.

It’s just that no one knew which wire had snapped in Xian Tailang’s head that he kept fixating on Four Eyes.

The others didn’t echo Xian Tailang’s words and stopped joking with Four Eyes like they did before.

At this point, everyone started to change their tune, beginning to help Four Eyes by persuading Xian Tailang to back off.

They were all high school classmates, and fortunately, most had the luck to be added as friends by Su Mu.

So, it was natural for everyone to realize that whatever they said to support Four Eyes in his social circle, Su Mu would certainly see it.

This could also be seen as a way to indirectly curry favor with Su Mu, right?

"Xian Tailang, don’t be so unreasonably troublesome. After all, this is Four Eyes’ private matter. We were just joking around just now. You’re making it seem like you’re forcing Four Eyes to reveal the girl-from-behind’s photo."

"Yeah, Xian Tailang, if you’ve got too much free time, go travel or do something else. Is it fun to threaten your own classmate like this?"

"Yeah, Xian Tailang, we were just playing around with Four Eyes just now. Was it really necessary for you to use such a low move as blocking the door?"

"Xian Tailang, you better take back what you said earlier. It was really too much."

...

Once someone started, naturally, a bunch of people turned on Xian Tailang.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Four Eyes didn’t have the clout to make everyone take his side against Xian Tailang openly.

After all, Four Eyes’ family is rich, and Xian Tailang’s family is not bad off either.

For classmates like Four Eyes and Xian Tailang, who come from similar backgrounds, under normal circumstances, it would be very wise for others to choose to remain neutral.

Originally, everyone just needed to watch the excitement; there was no need to take sides between Four Eyes and Xian Tailang, right?

Although Xian Tailang himself was not particularly talented, he had the good fortune of being the only child in his family.

One could imagine the level of doting he received, and this was a very important reason for Xian Tailang’s current recklessness and impetuousness.

But now, there was a special circumstance.

And that special circumstance was Su Mu.

Who is Su Mu? The young master of the Su Family conglomerate.

Unfortunately for Four Eyes with his foresight and insight, he had become Su Mu’s only good friend in high school before everyone else was aware of Su Mu’s true identity.

By the time everyone learned of Su Mu’s real identity, it was already too late to try to curry favor.

After all, Su Mu was very clear about why these people wanted to become his good friends at that time.

Naturally, Su Mu didn’t look up to these people.

Actually, everyone felt quite wronged.

To think that even when they didn’t know Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.

Su Mu was still the top student and most handsome boy at Huadong City International Middle School.

Su Mu’s good looks were unmatched, even by the self-proclaimed most handsome boys of past years at Huadong City International Middle School.

With such high looks and intelligence, who wouldn’t want to be friends with Su Mu?

But seeing Su Mu made everyone feel inferior.

That was something money couldn’t buy, and because of this self-awareness, they had lost their best chance to befriend Su Mu.

In fact, some people really thought too much.

Even if Su Mu didn’t know his true identity back then, he was not the kind of person who was indiscriminate about who he befriended.

Su Mu was selective in making friends.

So, many people’s regrets were in vain.

However, everyone felt that because of Xian Tailang’s outburst, they had finally found an opportunity to make themselves felt in front of Su Mu.

It was naturally an opportunity not to be missed.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that just be letting others alone garner favor?

"What’s it to you? I just want to, so there,"

"You guys are really ridiculous. Weren’t you all just chasing Four Eyes for the Backshadow Girl’s photo? How come I speak up, and you act like you’ve turned into different people? Could it be that Four Eyes has secretly promised you some kind of benefit?"

Xian Tailang was probably the only one who didn’t overthink it.

Xian Tailang felt he was targeting Four Eyes.

Anyway, in Xian Tailang’s eyes, Four Eyes’ family conditions were similar to his own.

The only difference might be that as the only child of five generations in his family, Xian Tailang was really spoiled to the point where he could ask for the stars but not the moon.

But it was different with Four Eyes—according to the gossip Xian Tailang heard, Four Eyes was also the only boy in his family.

However, Four Eyes’ parents seemed quite strict with him.

Xian Tailang felt that Four Eyes wouldn’t dare let his parents know about him dating.

So, Xian Tailang brought up the topic of going to block the gate of Four Eyes’ family villa.

Xian Tailang was betting on Four Eyes being too afraid to make a big fuss.

If things did get out of hand, Xian Tailang was sure he wouldn’t face any consequences.

But whether Four Eyes would have an easy time of it was an unknown.

Another thing was that Xian Tailang had just come back from a trip and was really bored.

At this moment, Xian Tailang thought it would be a very good choice if Four Eyes really refused to share Backshadow Girl’s frontal photo.

At least this gave Xian Tailang a legitimate reason to block Four Eyes.

Xian Tailang saw this as finding something for himself to do.

At least he wouldn’t have to stay home and rot from boredom.

Xian Tailang wasn’t without friends to hang out with.

But Xian Tailang was quite particular about the economic status.

The buddies Xian Tailang hung out with had to be rich second-generation kids from families with some money.

Otherwise, Xian Tailang would feel that those without money or power were befriending him only for his wealth.

Because of this requirement, there weren’t many friends who could keep up with Xian Tailang’s wild ways.

After all, not many families spoiled their children to the extent that Xian Tailang was.

For wealthy families, the issue of an heir is very important.

If all were raised like Xian Tailang, wouldn’t that just be waiting for their family fortunes to be squandered?

Anyway, it’s unclear what Xian Tailang’s elders were thinking, not educating their only heir properly.

It seems that it wouldn’t be impossible for Xian Tailang to become the terminator of his family fortune in the future.

Because he was too idle and did not feel inferior to Four Eyes,

Xian Tailang had plenty of confidence.

Even now, as the attitudes of the other students were obviously shifting, Xian Tailang didn’t consider why they suddenly changed their stance collectively.

"What benefit? We’re all classmates, Xian Tailang, your words are too harsh."

"Exactly, Xian Tailang, what we said to Four Eyes was all in jest. You’re going too far with no restraint at all, even threatening Four Eyes. If Four Eyes calls the police, let’s see what you’ll do."

"Right, Four Eyes, if Xian Tailang really dares to block your villa’s gate, just call the police."

"Four Eyes, I’ve taken screenshots for you. If necessary, I can also testify for you."

"Four Eyes, you’re not really scared by Xian Tailang, are you? How come after all we’ve said, you haven’t given any indication?"

"Yeah, I noticed that too. Why isn’t Four Eyes speaking up?"
