Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 508 - 507: Bringing Out the Big Backer

"A friend with extensive connections? Four Eyes, don’t you try to intimidate me with your friends. Honestly, there aren’t many people in Huadong City that Xian Tailang is afraid of."

Xian Tailang didn’t claim to be fearless of everything in Huadong City.

The main reason was that Xian Tailang wasn’t sure if Su Mu would be interested in checking out Four Eyes’ circle of friends.

Xian Tailang knew that Su Mu definitely could see Four Eyes’ circle of friends.

They were all classmates and had added each other as WeChat friends at the time.

Of course, adding friends wasn’t for the sake of keeping in touch; after all, Xian Tailang and Su Mu had never actually contacted each other.

Su Mu used to be the top student and most handsome guy at Huadong International Middle School.

Xian Tailang felt he couldn’t compare with Su Mu in those aspects, but he believed he had his own advantages.

And that was Xian Tailang’s belief that his family was rich.

Although this wasn’t his own achievement, Xian Tailang naturally took it as his advantage, since he couldn’t showcase anything else.

It’s just that back then, Su Mu simply wasn’t interested in Xian Tailang.

Xian Tailang also didn’t want to be the kind of person who throws himself at others, because he could feel that even if he did, Su Mu wouldn’t pay any attention to him.

Back then, Xian Tailang thought that no matter how capable Su Mu would be in the future, his family had a large company waiting for him to inherit.

Xian Tailang didn’t think he would ever need Su Mu’s help in the future.

Since that was the case, it was only natural that Xian Tailang and Su Mu remained classmates for three years without any interaction between them.

If the Xian Tailang of that time had known that Su Mu was actually the young master of the Su Family conglomerate,

Xian Tailang believed he would have definitely clung to Su Mu like a lifeline.

Even if Su Mu despised him, Xian Tailang wouldn’t have just silently remained a classmate who had never spoken a word to Su Mu for three years.

At least that way, Xian Tailang might have left some impression in Su Mu’s mind, right?

Compared to the Su Family conglomerate, Xian Tailang naturally knew his own family company wasn’t much of anything.

Even if Xian Tailang really inherited his family’s company one day, he still couldn’t compare to Su Mu.

Unfortunately, Xian Tailang simply hadn’t seized the opportunity given by fate to become classmates with Su Mu.

Now, even if he regrets it, Xian Tailang has nowhere to express that regret.

Su Mu was definitely someone who could deal with him, and even if Xian Tailang continued to play the fool, he knew this very well in his heart.

So, although Xian Tailang hadn’t seen what Su Mu said in Four Eyes’ circle of friends,

Xian Tailang didn’t dare to risk boldly claiming that there was no one in Huadong City he was afraid of.

Xian Tailang feared that just maybe, Su Mu also looked at his classmates’ circles of friends; it’s just that Su Mu generally didn’t bother to speak up.

Then wouldn’t Xian Tailang’s boastful words be seen by Su Mu?

If Su Mu saw them and felt unhappy, he could easily cause trouble for Xian Tailang, who knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Xian Tailang’s mind was clear at the present.

Xian Tailang thought as long as he didn’t offend Su Mu with his words, he could say anything else to Four Eyes.

After all, in Xian Tailang’s heart, Four Eyes’ relationship with Su Mu was probably about the same as his own relationship with Su Mu.

Since it was all the same, Xian Tailang certainly wouldn’t think that the one with extensive connections Four Eyes mentioned was Su Mu.

Apart from Su Mu, in Xian Tailang’s view, no one else had the ability.

Naturally, the friend mentioned by Four Eyes couldn’t escape being scoffed at by Xian Tailang.

Xian Tailang felt that Four Eyes was simply out of options and was trying to intimidate him with some excuse.

"Four Eyes, I, Xian Tailang, am not someone who’s easily scared, and I have no interest in knowing who your friends are, let alone meeting them."

"Four Eyes, since you said your girlfriend’s information is with your friend, why don’t you just ask your friend for it? Why beat around the bush so much?"

"Do you really think I have time to go to your friend and ask? I would need to know your friend, which sadly, I’m not interested in."

As Xian Tailang read Four Eyes’ messages, he became more convinced they were just excuses.

Unfortunately, to Xian Tailang, Four Eyes’ excuses seemed rather pathetic.

Was Xian Tailang supposed to ask Four Eyes’ friend for the photos and information on Four Eyes’ girlfriend?

Then why didn’t Four Eyes get it himself and post it on social media?

Xian Tailang even suspected that the friend Four Eyes was talking about didn’t exist.

To Xian Tailang, Four Eyes’ excuses were pretty lame.

If Four Eyes’ friend had the photos and information on Four Eyes’ girlfriend, how could Four Eyes not have them?

At this point, Xian Tailang’s intelligence was fully functioning, and he quickly spotted the hole in Four Eyes’ story.

But Four Eyes didn’t care whether Xian Tailang saw through his excuse or not.

Four Eyes’ key point wasn’t why his friend had his girlfriend’s photos and information.

Instead, Four Eyes wanted to emphasize the identity of this friend.

Now, Four Eyes didn’t want to bicker with Xian Tailang anymore, considering it a pure waste of energy.

Four Eyes admitted he couldn’t handle someone shameless like Xian Tailang.

Since Xian Tailang and Four Eyes’ families were of similar standing, Xian Tailang had no reason to fear Four Eyes.

Left with no choice, Four Eyes had to bring up his powerful supporter.

"I have already said, I didn’t know the mystery woman from the start; it was my friend who used his connections to find her for me."

"Since my friend helped me, it’s natural that he would have some of her information and photos."

"Isn’t it normal to have photos in her profile? What’s so strange about that?"

Although Four Eyes indeed came up with an excuse, he felt it made sense.

After all, it was Su Mu who really found Li Minli for him.

If it weren’t for Su Mu, not to mention today’s social media post, Four Eyes might still not even know the mystery woman’s name at this moment.

Nor would there have been a chance for Four Eyes to show off on social media.

Since it was Su Mu who helped find the woman in the photos, Four Eyes thought it was reasonable for Su Mu to have Li Minli’s profile pictures.

The only thing that might seem odd to others was how Four Eyes found the mystery woman and had even started dating her.

How is it possible that Four Eyes doesn’t have even one front-facing photo of her?

Everyone would surely not think she refused to be photographed, right?

Normally, people take front-facing photos.

Four Eyes’ first social media post was obviously a sneak shot, which explains why it was her back.

Now that the two are openly dating, if the girl still only let Four Eyes take pictures of her back, it would seem questionable.

Of course, everyone knows Four Eyes is a normal guy.

Even if Four Eyes was initially captivated by the mystery woman’s silhouette,

after normal interactions, Four Eyes would undoubtedly care more about the girl’s face.

Because Four Eyes had already mentioned his incredibly resourceful friend.

Apart from Xian Tailang, the other classmates could basically confirm who Four Eyes was talking about.

Therefore, at this time, no one pointed out any loopholes in what Four Eyes said.

"Xian Tailang, I don’t want to waste words with you either. You know the friend I’m talking about, not only do you know him, but you should also have my friend’s WeChat."

"Xian Tailang, if you’re really that bored and want to see a front-facing photo of my girlfriend, then go ask my friend for it."

"Of course, that’s assuming you have the guts to ask my friend for it."

Four Eyes didn’t give Xian Tailang any more chances to quibble, and sent several messages in one breath.

"Which friend of yours? Not only do I know him but also have his WeChat?"

"Do we share a common circle of friends?"

"But seeing you so arrogant, I am curious to know who your friend is, and whether I have the guts to ask your all-mighty friend for a photo."

Xian Tailang didn’t think Four Eyes could know any truly important big shots.

Could such important big shots become friends with Four Eyes?

Xian Tailang thought that from the beginning to the end, Four Eyes was just bluffing.

If he were to be duped, he would have really fallen for Four Eyes’s complete set-up.

Is it just about getting a photo?

Xian Tailang felt a wave of disdain for Four Eyes’s words in his heart.

"Four Eyes, who is your friend? Just say it, and I’ll dare to ask for the photo."

Xian Tailang felt that his family’s economic status and standing in Huadong City weren’t much different from that of Four Eyes’s family.

There was nobody Four Eyes could befriend that Xian Tailang couldn’t reach as well.

Moreover, Four Eyes had already said it: he knew this friend of his.

Four Eyes also knew that he had that person’s WeChat.

What did this imply?

It implied that everyone was of similar worth.

Xian Tailang thought he might really have added such a person’s WeChat, just couldn’t recall it due to lack of contact.

As for how Four Eyes knew he had added his friend on WeChat...

Xian Tailang, of course, flattered himself by thinking he must be a "star" in other people’s eyes.

Obviously, Four Eyes and his friend must have mentioned him during their chat.

About this, Xian Tailang quickly figured it out.

And didn’t find anything strange about it any more.

"There’s nothing to be afraid of saying; Xian Tailang, go directly to Su Mu and ask."

"The girl from behind was found by Su Mu for me; the informational photos of my girlfriend are also in Su Mu’s hands. You can just ask Su Mu directly."

This time, Four Eyes answered quite readily, reporting Su Mu’s big name as if not worried at all that Xian Tailang would really go to Su Mu for anything.

Of course, Four Eyes was convinced Xian Tailang wouldn’t dare approach Su Mu.

Not to mention that everyone already knew Su Mu’s true identity by now.

The young master of the Su family’s conglomerate, who would dare to provoke someone with such a powerful background?

Even when people still didn’t know of Su Mu’s identity as the young master of the Su family’s conglomerate, Four Eyes was sure Xian Tailang wouldn’t dare to approach Su Mu.

This had nothing to do with family background.

Mainly, Su Mu’s presence was too overwhelming, so overwhelming that what these rich kids prided themselves on—their net worth and all—seemed like thin air in front of him.

Didn’t Four Eyes himself become attracted to that kind of presence, willingly following behind Su Mu as a little follower?

Of course, Su Mu did not treat Four Eyes as a little follower, instead, they became good friends.

This was also considered a stroke of luck for Four Eyes, surely.

Four Eyes always felt that becoming friends with Su Mu was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

Later, when Su Mu’s true identity was revealed, even Four Eyes’ dad thought so.

After hearing the conclusion his dad had come to, Four Eyes felt his status within the family rise more than just a notch.

"Su Mu? Which Su Mu?"

Xian Tailang was completely baffled when he saw the message from Four Eyes.

How could this friend Four Eyes spoke of turn out to be the only person that Xian Tailang himself did not dare to offend?

Xian Tailang felt during the three years of high school he hadn’t noticed Four Eyes and Su Mu being all that close?

Of course, back then Xian Tailang was not about to spend extra time on Four Eyes.

Let alone Su Mu, knowing full well that aside from his family background, there was nothing he could compete with Su Mu on, Xian Tailang certainly wasn’t going to make himself uncomfortable by comparing them.

Now suddenly seeing Four Eyes mentioning Su Mu’s name, Xian Tailang felt his brain couldn’t keep up.

Could it be that he missed some important information during those three years of high school?

Xian Tailang suddenly remembered a classmate’s remark that they had wasted their entire three years of high school.

Looking at it now, it seemed that the classmate was not referring to academics.

The underlying meaning of that classmate’s words seemed quite profound.

Xian Tailang’s hands were a bit shaky as he typed these few characters.

Only, Xian Tailang felt that Four Eyes couldn’t be that lucky, to become friends with Su Mu?

Xian Tailang felt that either Four Eyes was trying to scare him.

But that possibility was not so great either, after all, Su Mu could see Four Eyes’ circle of friends.

Xian Tailang knew that if Four Eyes took advantage of Su Mu’s name to scare him, and Su Mu saw it, Four Eyes would definitely have a hard time explaining it to Su Mu.

Xian Tailang felt there was another very likely possibility.

Of course, Xian Tailang very much hoped that this possibility he guessed was indeed true.

That was that the name of Four Eyes’ friend was the same as that Su Mu from the Su Family conglomerate that Xian Tailang was afraid of in his heart. freeweɓnøvel.com

Xian Tailang felt this explanation was the most reasonable.

If that was the case, Xian Tailang would have no psychological burden.

No matter which Su Mu it was, as long as it wasn’t the young master of the Su Family conglomerate, the top student and most handsome guy at Huadong International Middle School, that Su Mu.

Xian Tailang stated, any other Su Mu could come in droves and he wouldn’t mind at all.

After typing, Xian Tailang waited for the verdict as anxiously as if he were awaiting a sentencing, anticipating Four Eyes’ answer.

Xian Tailang, though forcibly telling himself, surely the Su Mu that Four Eyes was talking about couldn’t be the Su Mu he knew.

But Xian Tailang also knew that he hadn’t heard of anyone else named Su Mu elsewhere.

So, it was impossible for Xian Tailang not to panic.

If the Su Mu Four Eyes spoke of was really the Su Mu Xian Tailang dreaded, then he felt that today was just an extremely unlucky day for himself.

Asking the Su Mu from the Su Family conglomerate for a photo was something Xian Tailang did not have the courage to do.
