Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 509 - 508 Desperate Struggle
Chapter 509: Chapter 508 Desperate Struggle
"There’s obviously only one Su Mu, Xian Tailang. Do you know any others?"
"The friend I’m talking about is our classmate from high school, the young master of the Su Family conglomerate."
It seemed that in order not to give Xian Tailang even a sliver of hope, Four Eyes went through the trouble of explaining Su Mu’s identity in detail.
There can only be one young master of the Su Family conglomerate.
Four Eyes believed that now Xian Tailang would not be able to find any more excuses.
"Xian Tailang, the only photo of my girlfriend’s face is her profile picture, and it really is with Su Mu."
"Of course, if Su Mu has already helped me by deleting the information, then there’s nothing I can do."
"If you really want to see a photo of my girlfriend’s face, you should ask Su Mu for it."
"After all, if Su Mu could get hold of the information once, he can do it a second time." freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Whether Su Mu will give you face or not, that’s up to you, isn’t it? I don’t need to think about that for you, right?"
Four Eyes saw that Xian Tailang clammed up the moment he mentioned Su Mu’s name.
Feeling somewhat smug, Four Eyes thought it was the right moment to provoke Xian Tailang a bit.
Why shouldn’t he when Xian Tailang had started off so arrogantly and aggressively?
Now, the mention of Su Mu’s name made him react like a mouse that had seen a cat.
Four Eyes felt that Xian Tailang’s change in attitude was a bit too quick.
Of course, Four Eyes could understand.
After all, it was Su Mu’s name that Xian Tailang heard, and it would be strange if he was not frightened.
Four Eyes specifically dropped Su Mu’s name because he knew the weight it carried.
The effect was, of course, very obvious.
Li Minli’s photos are with me?
Seeing Four Eyes’ message, Su Mu couldn’t help but smile wryly.
This Four Eyes, he really could tell a lie without even blinking.
Su Mu had personally accompanied Four Eyes to Xinghuan Entertainment to find someone.
In the end, all of Li Minli’s information was taken by Four Eyes himself; how could it possibly be with Su Mu?
Su Mu had only glanced at the photo of the girl Four Eyes was so enviously interested in, out of curiosity to see what kind of girl his good friend was into.
It was nothing like what Four Eyes had told Xian Tailang, claiming the mysterious girl’s profile photo was with him.
Su Mu stated that if it indeed were as Four Eyes said, then he would have already deleted Li Minli’s information by now.
The idea that it would still be saved on Su Mu’s device was out of the question.
This time Four Eyes was blatantly lying through his teeth.
Of course, Su Mu was not going to expose Four Eyes.
Not to mention that when Su Mu saw the conversation between Four Eyes and Xian Tailang on the social media "Moments", it was something that had happened several hours ago.
There was no point in Su Mu bringing it up now.
Even if the conversation between Four Eyes and Xian Tailang was currently ongoing, Su Mu would keep to himself.
Su Mu also felt quite disgusted with Xian Tailang’s behavior today.
Su Mu knew that Xian Tailang and Four Eyes were not very close.
Yet, Xian Tailang had the audacity to act like a boss, aggressively trying to coerce Four Eyes into posting the face photo of the mysterious girl on his social media "Moments".
This was no joke at all.
Moreover, Xian Tailang’s actions were downright baseless.
It was Four Eyes’ own business, and if Four Eyes wanted to post, they would post; nobody could force Four Eyes if they didn’t want to.
Had Xian Tailang only joined the other students in casually asking Four Eyes, it could have been seen as just a joke.
But Xian Tailang’s attitude was clearly not joking.
Xian Tailang even resorted to threats, which completely changed the nature of the situation.
Su Mu didn’t feel anything when Four Eyes frightened Xian Tailang using his name.
After all, as long as Four Eyes could deal with the irritating Xian Tailang, Su Mu thought his name could be borrowed just this once.
"Four Eyes, are you officially declaring war on Xian Tailang?"
"Four Eyes, I’ve already blocked Xian Tailang and I don’t know what that kid has said. Did he dare to ask Su Mu for a photo?"
"Oh my, I just said Xian Tailang wasted his three years of high school, and it seems I wasn’t wrong. Xian Tailang doesn’t even know you and Su Mu are good friends."
"Right, Xian Tailang’s IQ really can’t keep up. Four Eyes, you could easily take care of Xian Tailang’s friends, and isn’t Su Mu one of them? Besides Su Mu, I really can’t think of anyone else who has that much clout."
"I reckon that Xian Tailang never dared to think it involved Su Mu; that’s probably why he made such outrageous claims."
"Four Eyes, that kid Xian Tailang must be scared by now, right? Tell us, what did he say afterward? It’s killing me. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have blocked Xian Tailang so soon. I really want to see that kid cowering."
"What do you mean ’cowering’? In front of Su Mu, Xian Tailang can only be submissive. I’ve also blocked Xian Tailang, but I don’t need Four Eyes to tell me, I can guess that Xian Tailang definitely doesn’t dare to say a word now."
Ordinarily, nobody dared to casually mention Su Mu’s name.
After all, since Four Eyes didn’t say anything and Su Mu didn’t show his face, everyone naturally didn’t dare to be so presumptuous as to directly speak Su Mu’s name.
Now that Four Eyes had finally brought up Su Mu himself, it was as if everyone found an opening, and they all began to flatter Su Mu.
Everyone knew this was a rare opportunity.
It was their fault for not taking the rare opportunity during those three years of high school to befriend Su Mu.
But these people couldn’t be blamed either.
During high school, aside from a few who deliberately kept their distance from Su Mu out of jealousy.
The rest really wanted to be friends with Su Mu.
Although Su Mu came from a very average family background at that time, it was his IQ and good looks that made him the leading male figure at Huadong International Middle School.
Aside from those few who were envious and jealous of Su Mu, who wouldn’t want to form some connection with the leading male figure?
Unfortunately, Su Mu wasn’t exactly the cold type who kept everyone at arm’s length.
But he certainly wasn’t the warm, friendly type either.
His classmates, seeing Su Mu’s aloof temperament, were automatically kept at a distance of three meters.
Back then, people were curious about how Four Eyes managed to become friends with Su Mu.
However, because Su Mu didn’t reveal his identity as the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.
It led to those classmates not using all their resources to build a relationship with Su Mu.
If those students had known Su Mu’s true identity at the time, even if Su Mu was an iceberg, there would have been a large group of people shamelessly clustering around.
Those students who had been quick to block Xian Tailang naturally couldn’t see how Xian Tailang would respond after Four Eyes revealed that Su Mu was his good friend.
Of course, these students’ quick actions might not have really been due to reflexes.
This swiftness might have been to show their stance to someone.
And this ’someone’ was obvious even without asking; it definitely wasn’t Four Eyes.
After all, Four Eyes had yet to reach that stature.
Four Eyes knew in his heart that the reason his classmates, who were originally pestering him for a front-facing photo of the "mysterious girl," changed their tune so quickly today was entirely due to Su Mu’s influence.
But Four Eyes didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
After all, the change in attitude of others towards him was solely because of the respect they had for Su Mu.
If this had happened to those who are extremely prideful, they might have felt embarrassed.
But when such a thing happened to Four Eyes, it was completely a different feeling.
Far from being angry,
on the contrary, Four Eyes had always felt proud to have a friend like Su Mu.
It was like this before, and after Su Mu revealed his identity as the young master of the Su Family Group, it became even more so.
You know, even Four Eyes’s dad gave a direct nod of approval to this.
Naturally, Four Eyes was in high spirits about it.
Four Eyes found it amazing that his silence alone was enough to guess that Xian Tailang didn’t dare utter a single word now.
There was a good reason for Four Eyes to make such a judgment.
Look at the speed of Xian Tailang’s responses to Four Eyes’s messages before; they were indeed very prompt.
Basically, as soon as Four Eyes sent a message, Xian Tailang would immediately react.
Sometimes, Xian Tailang would even complain that Four Eyes was too slow in replying.
But look at now, Four Eyes had mentioned Su Mu’s big name for quite a while, and there was no reaction from Xian Tailang at all.
Four Eyes knew that Xian Tailang must have been scared senseless.
Just a moment ago, he was speaking so arrogantly, saying that none of Four Eyes’s friends could handle him, Xian Tailang, right?
He even said that giving Four Eyes’s friends a few hours wouldn’t make a difference to him, Xian Tailang.
Now, well, Su Mu hasn’t said a single word.
Just the mere mention of Su Mu’s name by Four Eyes was enough to send Xian Tailang scurrying into his turtle shell.
Four Eyes felt that Xian Tailang was really useless.
Of course, it was easy for Four Eyes to talk without feeling the pinch.
Xian Tailang hearing Su Mu’s name and not being scared would have been strange indeed.
After all, Xian Tailang wasn’t a friend of Su Mu.
And there’s another point, Xian Tailang was quite arrogant just before.
It’s even fair to say that Xian Tailang was somewhat provocatively challenging Su Mu.
Of course, at that time, Xian Tailang had no idea that the friend Four Eyes was talking about was Su Mu.
If Xian Tailang had known that Su Mu was Four Eyes’s friend, even if you gave Xian Tailang a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to say those words.
If Xian Tailang had known Su Mu was Four Eyes’s friend, this whole series of events would not have taken place.
Because Xian Tailang wouldn’t have bothered Four Eyes in his friend circle in the first place.
Of course, if we follow the principle that ignorance is not a sin, Xian Tailang’s "guilt" could be lessened somewhat.
"Xian Tailang, come on, say something. Do you still want to see a front-facing photo of my girlfriend?"
"If you really insist on seeing it, I still have to give Su Mu a heads-up."
"But it’s definitely not happening today, I just finished chatting with Su Mu, and he’s quite busy."
"How about I talk to Su Mu tomorrow and tell him you, Xian Tailang, are planning to ask for the photos from my girlfriend’s information to see if Su Mu has deleted those files?"
Four Eyes knew that Xian Tailang didn’t dare to type a single word; it was clear in his mind that Xian Tailang was afraid to answer.
But Four Eyes felt that he had been pressed for such a long time by Xian Tailang in his own social circle.
Even Xian Tailang had gone as far as threatening to confront him at the entrance of his family’s villa complex.
Four Eyes felt that if he let Xian Tailang off so easily, perhaps Xian Tailang might think he was easy to bully.
After all, with Su Mu as his strong backer, Four Eyes wasn’t the least bit afraid to keep pressing Xian Tailang with questions.
Would Xian Tailang become desperate and lash out?
Four Eyes knew that as long as Su Mu was around, even if Xian Tailang became desperate, he wouldn’t dare to lash out.
Now, Four Eyes was very relaxed.
Not for any other reason but because of his relationship as a close friend of Su Mu.
"Damn, looks like I guessed right, the moment Su Mu’s name is mentioned, Xian Tailang turns into the king of longevity."
"Do you even need to guess? Isn’t that obvious? What I’m curious about is how Xian Tailang survived three years of high school without even knowing that Su Mu and Four Eyes are close friends."
"How did he manage? Xian Tailang has spent all his time on women, that’s how he’s muddled through."
The information from Four Eyes told everyone one thing, that Xian Tailang really didn’t dare say another word again.
What does that indicate?
It indicates that Su Mu’s identity really is too powerful.
It even made Xian Tailang shrink back.
Xian Tailang indeed didn’t dare to type another word.
Four Eyes had made it so clear
Su Mu, the good friend of Four Eyes, was the very Su Family scion and high school classmate whom Xian Tailang least wanted to face.
But what Xian Tailang didn’t want to accept was one thing, the fact was quite another.
The answer was already so clear and obvious, what else could Xian Tailang say?
Should Xian Tailang go after Su Mu to get Four Eyes’ girlfriend’s photo?
Xian Tailang truly did not dare.
Not only because of Su Mu’s status.
Xian Tailang knew that if he offended Su Mu, no matter how favored he was at the moment,
if his family found out that he had offended the young master of the Su Family, Xian Tailang knew that what awaited him would definitely be something very unpleasant.
Even if Xian Tailang was reckless, he wasn’t completely brainless.
He wouldn’t gamble his future happiness.
Those classmates had already blocked Xian Tailang, but Xian Tailang hadn’t blocked them yet.
Xian Tailang’s original plan was to force Four Eyes to post a frontal picture of his girlfriend in his social circle and then see what those classmates had to say about it.
Dare to block him?
Xian Tailang felt that those classmates hadn’t thought it through at all.
In fact, Xian Tailang was just waiting to see those classmates who had blocked him express their regretful comments in Four Eyes’ social circle.
Of course, referring to regret for having blocked Xian Tailang.
Only Xian Tailang never anticipated that the development of events wouldn’t advance in the direction he had expected at all.
What Xian Tailang saw in the end were certainly not the expressions of regret from everyone.
