Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 512 - 511: Cannot Pass

"Sincere? Xian Tailang, you’ve really confused me—what do you mean exactly?"

"From the start, I didn’t want to send a front-facing photo of my girlfriend, but you, Xian Tailang, kept insisting on it."

"Now I’ve told you, her profile has a photo, it’s just not with me. Initially, I didn’t even know my girlfriend; it was Su Mu who helped me find her, so obviously, the information is with Su Mu."

"I’ve made it all clear now, you should be able to satisfy your curiosity. Why are you changing your attitude again?"

"Xian Tailang, you’re so fickle, what if you change your mind again tomorrow and start pestering me for a front-facing photo of my girlfriend?"

"I’ve decided to delete you as a friend, of course, you won’t be able to see my girlfriend’s front-facing photo in the future either."

"If you pull the same stunt again and show up at my door, though I’m not afraid of you, it’s still going to be a hassle, and I really don’t want to deal with you, Xian Tailang."

"So, it’s better to clear things up today. After this, I, Four Eyes, won’t have anything to do with you, Xian Tailang."

Four Eyes sent a barrage of messages all at once, leaving no chance for Xian Tailang to reply.

Su Mu saw how "fervently" Four Eyes was messaging and couldn’t help but laugh.

This Four Eyes really is a chatterbox by nature.

Even though Four Eyes wasn’t speaking to Xian Tailang face to face, he was still able to exercise his strong suit by messaging.

Su Mu felt that Xian Tailang must be driven nearly insane by Four Eyes by now.

For Xian Tailang, it would be much better to talk face to face with Four Eyes.

At least that way, the conversation between Xian Tailang and Four Eyes wouldn’t be known to others.

You should know, right now, many classmates are watching Four Eyes’s social circle.

Never mind the classmates who spoke before; there are probably many who haven’t spoken, just silently watching this drama unfold.

Even if some people didn’t have time to witness the "battle" between Four Eyes and Xian Tailang as it happened.

But like Su Mu, Four Eyes’s social circle posts are right there on WeChat, waiting for others to view when they have the time.

So, Four Eyes really put Xian Tailang through the wringer this time.

It’s not only that other classmates say they will block Xian Tailang after this incident.

Xian Tailang himself will probably end friendships with his high school classmates.

Not for anything else, but because Xian Tailang really lost face in a big way today.

From the very beginning, he bragged incessantly, constantly pressuring Four Eyes to send a front-facing photo of the girl from the back. Now Xian Tailang is groveling for Four Eyes’s forgiveness.

This drastic change of attitude is apparent to everyone.

Not just apparent, earlier on, everyone also vocally condemned Xian Tailang.

It just wasn’t very effective.

"Four Eyes, I promise I won’t go back on my word. I really don’t want to see the front-facing photo of your girlfriend anymore."

"It’s not that your girlfriend isn’t pretty—in my many years of experience with women, I can vouch for her. Just by looking at your girlfriend’s back, I can affirm that she must be very beautiful."

"Four Eyes, you don’t have to worry about me showing up at your villa’s gate or anything of the sort. To tell the truth, I really don’t dare to ask you for a front-facing photo of your girlfriend anymore."

"You said your girlfriend’s information is with Su Mu—who is Su Mu? He’s the young master of the Su Family enterprise. Do you think I’d dare to bother him?"

"So, Four Eyes, you can rest easy. I truly won’t bother you for a front-facing photo of your girlfriend anymore."

"If you want to remove me as a friend, just go ahead and do it. I won’t bother you again in the future."

Xian Tailang must have realized that without making himself clear, Four Eyes was not going to let him off so easily.

Xian Tailang might have also considered it in his heart.

Xian Tailang had already apologized to Four Eyes, which was certainly a humiliating thing for him.

Since he had already done something humiliating, Xian Tailang felt he might as well make himself clear.

Without any further disguise, Xian Tailang directly revealed the real reason he didn’t dare to ask Four Eyes for the frontal photo of his girlfriend.

Of course, it was because of Su Mu.

Fearing the identity of Su Mu, Xian Tailang didn’t think there was anything humiliating about it.

Even if the whole class was watching, Xian Tailang thought that no one would say anything about him being afraid of Su Mu and not daring to provoke him.

After all, Xian Tailang knew that not just the students in the class but probably no one in Huadong City dared to provoke Su Mu, right?

The Su Family Group, these four words were Su Mu’s greatest strength.

What Xian Tailang didn’t know was that Su Mu wasn’t just the young master of the Su Family Group.

Su Mu also had a secret weapon, which was a super mysterious system.

Although the system wouldn’t give Su Mu cash or other tangible rewards, what it provided him with was top-notch stuff from around the world that money couldn’t buy.

This was far more useful than just giving cash.

Of course, Su Mu could also make money using the system.

Aren’t the stock market and the number five subway line the best proof of that?

If Su Mu wanted to, isn’t it just a matter of how much he wants to earn?

After all, the system could even provide Su Mu with information from the future.

Su Mu was essentially a wealthy man who controlled time.

"Xian Tailang, you’ve finally hit the nail on the head. I know you resent me. What you’re afraid of is Su Mu, isn’t it?"

"What about it? Do you feel very frustrated inside, thinking that I’m using my connection with Su Mu to force you to bow down to me?"

"But what can you do about it? Su Mu is my friend, not yours, Xian Tailang. That’s my biggest capital in dealing with you."

"Xian Tailang, since you’ve already made your position clear, I’ll delete you right away. I know you won’t dare to trouble me in the future, as long as you still have a brain."

"Xian Tailang, if you see this, just squeak, and I’ll delete you immediately."

Four Eyes had initially intended to just delete Xian Tailang.

But on second thought, if he moved too quickly and Xian Tailang hadn’t had the chance to read the message he sent,

then Four Eyes would have sent his previous messages for nothing if he deleted Xian Tailang as a friend.

You can’t see the Moments content of someone who is not your friend, and this is a setting Four Eyes had made on WeChat.

Four Eyes certainly didn’t want to have typed so much for nothing; he thought it safer to have Xian Tailang make a statement before deleting him as a friend.

"I’ve seen it."

Xian Tailang was much more self-aware, and he probably knew that he couldn’t just stay silent and get away with it.

Seeing these four words, Four Eyes didn’t hesitate at all and immediately deleted him as a friend, all in one fell swoop.

After blocking Xian Tailang, Four Eyes felt like he had shaken off a pesky irritant.

Truthfully, Xian Tailang really was a despicable person.

Four Eyes knew that if it weren’t for his connection with Su Mu, he really wouldn’t have known how to deal with Xian Tailang.

Of course, Four Eyes wasn’t afraid of Xian Tailang.

He wouldn’t compromise just because of Xian Tailang’s threats, either.

But Four Eyes knew that Xian Tailang was not only idle with plenty of time to cause trouble,

the key issue was that Xian Tailang was a real scoundrel who would actually do something like blocking the entrance to one’s own villa complex.

For Four Eyes, pursuing the girl he liked was supposed to be a wonderful thing.

However, if it were really messed up by Xian Tailang, it would ultimately be an unpleasant situation.

Especially since it wasn’t just Four Eyes’ family living in the villa complex.

Most people there were businessmen who usually had some contact with Four Eyes’ dad.

Those people wouldn’t know the real reason why Xian Tailang came to block the door.

They might even misunderstand and think that Four Eyes had done something disgraceful.

If word got out that it was related to issues with girls, people’s imaginations would likely run even wilder.

By that time, Four Eyes couldn’t possibly explain the situation to every household; he really would be unable to clear his reputation.

It wasn’t just Four Eyes; his parents would also be subjected to gossip behind their backs because of him.

Thinking about all this, Four Eyes actually felt a shiver down his spine.

Four Eyes quietly celebrated his good fortune at having Su Mu, a well-connected friend with a powerful background.

Even Xian Tailang, that wealthy and influential rascal, backed down the moment he heard Su Mu’s name.

But Four Eyes knew that his friendship with Su Mu was genuine.

When Four Eyes became friends with Su Mu, he didn’t even know that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.

At that time, even Su Mu himself didn’t know his true identity, so how could Four Eyes possibly know?

However, now that Su Mu had revealed his true identity, Four Eyes felt that having a friend to make things easier was indeed a fantastic feeling.

"Four Eyes, I also removed Xian Tailang. I originally thought about just blocking him, but now I think it’s better to just delete him as a friend like you did, to clear him out completely."

"Four Eyes, I removed Xian Tailang too—that guy really was an eyesore in my friend list. Seeing his profile picture just made me feel disgusted."

"I’ve also removed him, and I guess everyone who saw Four Eyes’ social media post today will delete Xian Tailang, right? Xian Tailang wouldn’t have the nerve to show his face in the class group anymore."

"You’re actually right. I just noticed Xian Tailang left the class group. Guess he knows he has no face to stay in the class group."

"Su Mu is truly impressive. Without saying a word, he scared Xian Tailang into leaving the group."

"Who is Su Mu to talk to Xian Tailang? Does Xian Tailang have that much clout?" novelbuddy.cσ๓

"This is the truth. Xian Tailang really doesn’t have the clout to have a conversation with Su Mu."

"Four Eyes, is Su Mu really busy? Check when Su Mu has time, maybe we can all get together once more before we start university?"

Everyone knew this was a rare opportunity. If it weren’t for Xian Tailang’s behavior today, they wouldn’t have an excuse to express their "admiration" for Su Mu.

There had already been a graduation dinner, but at that time, nobody knew the true identity of Su Mu, and some students hadn’t attended.

Those classmates who did not attend the graduation dinner expressed genuine regret when they learned that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Group.

However, even among those who did attend the dinner, there were hardly any without regrets.

Everyone realized a serious problem: why hadn’t they taken advantage of the three years in high school to become good friends with Su Mu?

Now that they knew Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Group, everyone understood that even if they tried to ingratiate themselves, Su Mu might not give them the time of day.

After all, everyone could clearly see the ulterior motives involved.

To say that Su Mu wasn’t foolish was an understatement; Su Mu’s intelligence could easily crush that of the others.

How could Su Mu not see through such obvious intentions?

Therefore, even though everyone was very anxious to foster a closer relationship with Su Mu at the graduation dinner,

they also knew they couldn’t appear too eager.

So, despite their inner turmoil, they still had to force themselves to be patient.

Not to mention Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu, who initially intended to make Su Mu uncomfortable at the dinner.

Now, these two didn’t dare utter a single word in the class group chat.

The pair only hoped to keep a low profile so as not to remind Su Mu of their petty schemes that wouldn’t stand scrutiny.

Of course, Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu still hoped that once Su Mu had forgotten about their schemes, they could possibly improve their relationship with him.

After all, both of their family businesses were based in Huadong City.

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu knew that they would eventually take over their family businesses, just as Su Mu would take over the Su Family Group.

In such a situation, they naturally hoped to mend their relationship with Su Mu.

At the very least, they would consider it a huge relief if Su Mu neither helped nor hindered them.

Su Mu rarely posted on social media.

Neither Wang Mingqi nor Zhu Haoyu could simply go and chat with Su Mu either.

It would be surprising if Su Mu bothered with these two.

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu were certainly more intelligent than Xian Tailang.

Although they wouldn’t usually take the initiative to approach Su Mu out of jealousy,

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu kept a close watch on Su Mu in secret without any lessening in their attention.

Of course, Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu were also aware of the relationship between Su Mu and Four Eyes.

Since they knew that Four Eyes was a good friend of Su Mu,

and Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu didn’t have the opportunity to court Su Mu’s favor directly,

it was natural for them to take full advantage of Four Eyes as an "intermediary."

Their liking of Four Eyes’ posts on social media was merely to show Four Eyes—and ideally Su Mu—that they had always taken an interest in Four Eyes’ affairs.

Yet they didn’t pester Four Eyes for a front-facing photo of his girlfriend in his social media posts like the other classmates did.

Not even in jest.

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu knew they weren’t in a position to do so; moreover, they wanted to show their utmost respect for Four Eyes.
