Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 514 - 513: The Kid from a Poor Family

Jiang Xinxuan was still unsure whether Su Mu had informed his family about going to Huangtong City to be Allen’s best man.

It was a perfectly normal reaction for Jiang Xinxuan to ask such a question.

After all, it wasn’t a round trip that could be done in a single day.

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan would have to stay in Huangtong City for at least a few days.

They both figured they wouldn’t be able to make it back to Huadong City on the day of the wedding.

Weddings are usually held in the evenings.

Even if they, as the best man and maid of honor, didn’t have much to do, they would still have to go through the entire event.

By the time the wedding was over and there was nothing left for Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan to do, it would probably be late.

Su Mu was planning to drive to Huangtong City himself.

So naturally, he would have to drive back himself as well.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that if they were to return to Huadong City on the same day as the wedding, Su Mu would definitely be exhausted.

Out of concern for her boyfriend, Jiang Xinxuan would of course prefer that Su Mu rest well before the two of them headed back to Huadong City.

If Su Mu left for a few days without notifying his family, Jiang Xinxuan was genuinely afraid that Su Mu’s parents would worry.

"My dad and mom already know, there’s no problem," Su Mu assured.

It really wasn’t a problem—it was just being a best man, not a big deal.

Even for something as important as college entrance exams, which were considered a major event in most families, the Su Family didn’t seem to care too much.

Su Mu recalled riding his bicycle to the exam venue on his own the day of his college entrance exam.

Not to mention his mother didn’t dress up in a traditional qipao, which symbolizes victory, to cheer him on like other students’ mothers did.

Su Mu remembered that on the day of his college entrance exams, his parents acted as if it were an utterly mundane event and didn’t even bother to see him off.

Luckily, Su Mu was a top student and didn’t need such superficial gestures to boost his confidence.

Otherwise, he would have felt like he had already lost the battle before the exams even started.

"As long as Uncle and Auntie know, that eases my mind," Jiang Xinxuan said.

It was hard not to notice that Jiang Xinxuan, who hadn’t yet become part of the family, was already very considerate of Su Mu’s parents’ feelings.

"Su Mu, just let me know before you set off tomorrow, and since we’ll be taking the highway, you should get some rest early as well, goodnight."

Jiang Xinxuan, anticipating the trip to Huangtong City alone with Su Mu the next day, was truly thrilled.

This was Su Mu’s formal introduction in front of her relatives.

Although Su Mu had already met Jiang Xinxuan’s parents.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that the more of her relatives Su Mu met, the deeper their relationship would be confirmed.

Jiang Xinxuan loved Su Mu very much and naturally hoped that their relationship would continue as it was.

To hold hands and grow old together.

This was the future with Su Mu that Jiang Xinxuan aspired to.

"Goodnight."

Su Mu wasn’t actually sleepy, but since his girlfriend had said as much, he thought it best to let her get her beauty sleep.

Su Mu got up and sorted out some clothes and personal items for the trip to Huangtong City the next day.

After all, they were going to stay for a few days, and it was essential to prepare a change of clothes.

Su Mu, having lived as an ordinary person for eighteen years, was very adept at handling these little details of life.

He was nothing like those pampered young masters who grew up having others wait on them hand and foot, needing assistance for everything.

Checking the time and realizing it was getting late, Su Mu had no wish to read the news or browse social media anymore.

Having silenced his phone, Su Mu lay down on the comfortable bed and closed his eyes to meet the mythical figure Zhou Gong in sleep.

...

The following morning, what reminded Su Mu that it was time to wake up was naturally the beautiful ringing of the alarm clock.

Su Mu did not have anything like morning crankiness.

In Su Mu’s opinion, if it were not because he had already set an alarm, he wouldn’t care much about waking up on time.

Otherwise, Su Mu’s biological clock could automatically wake him up.

Su Mu quickly washed up, changed into a set of sportswear, and went downstairs.

Although today Su Mu was planning to go to Huangtong City with his girlfriend.

But Su Mu had already planned that he would still proceed with his morning Taichi practice with his grandfather.

"Good morning, Grandpa."

Seeing the Elder Su reading the newspaper in the living room, Su Mu greeted his grandfather with a booming voice.

"Good morning, Xiao Mu. Aren’t you going to Huangtong City today? Why get up so early?"

Elder Su had thought that his grandson would be going out today and assumed Xiao Mu would need to cancel joining him for Taichi.

The Elder had psychologically braced himself for practicing Taichi alone in the garden again today.

Elder Su felt that he had been practicing Taichi alone for so many years without feeling anything amiss.

Xiao Mu had not been back at the castle for a very long time, so the time spent practicing Taichi with the Elder was also not very long.

But subtly, Elder Su seemed to have gotten used to having his grandson accompany him in the practice.

Therefore, even though Elder Su knew that Xiao Mu was going to Huangtong City and probably would not have time to join him for Taichi,

The Elder still sat in the living room out of habit, waiting for Xiao Mu to come downstairs.

Of course, if Su Mu did not come down at this time, the Elder would not have anyone call for him.

In Elder Su’s heart, perhaps this had become a habit.

Fortunately, the Elder’s wait was not in vain.

Although Su Mu really was set to take the freeway to Huangtong City with his girlfriend today,

For Su Mu, who possessed Champion Driving Skill and Champion Physical Fitness, this really was a trivial matter.

"Grandpa, it’s not too early now, I still need to practice Taichi with you."

"I’ll be going to Huangtong City for a few days, and I’m afraid I’ll get rusty and you’ll look down on me when I come back."

Su Mu said playfully as he briskly walked towards the Elder.

Su Mu did not want to say anything too sentimental.

Such thoughts of wanting to spend more time with the Elder, it was enough that Su Mu himself knew them.

Besides, even if Su Mu didn’t say it out loud, that didn’t mean the Elder wasn’t fully aware, right?

"You little rascal, hurry up and have breakfast," said the Elder.

Of course, the Elder understood his grandson’s intentions, and saying he was not moved would be impossible.

After all, the Elder, who had been in charge of the Su Family enterprise for most of his life, did not show the excitement in his heart on his face.

The Elder put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the dining room.

"Okay, Grandpa, I’m quite hungry myself," replied Su Mu.

Su Mu didn’t need to support the Elder; the Elder was quite healthy and did not need anyone to help him walk.

Following behind the Elder, Su Mu continued to talk as they made their way to the dining room.

"Ah Fook should have everything ready, eat more if you’re hungry," the Elder said, turning back and smiling at his grandson.

After having breakfast at home and accompanying Elder Su to complete a full set of Tai Chi, Su Mu returned to his own room to change into a new set of clothes.

Because he was doing Tai Chi earlier, Su Mu was wearing sportswear.

He was about to go to Huangtong City soon, so naturally, Su Mu needed to dress more formally.

A Patek Philippe diamond-set business series watch, what clothes to match with what style of watch.

This was also why Su Mu at the time bought both the diamond-set business series and the sports series Patek Philippe watches.

Su Mu’s physique could be described as a walking clothes hanger, no matter what kind of clothes he wore, they would always take on a special flavor on him.

That special flavor might just be the inherent nobility in Su Mu’s bones.

Plus, the brands he was wearing now were all top of the line, naturally attracting even more attention.

The things Su Mu needed to prepare had already been packed the night before.

As a boy, the things Su Mu prepared weren’t many, just a few sets of clothes to change into.

One trolley suitcase was completely sufficient.

Su Mu knew that Xuanxuan would definitely need to dress up before heading out.

Which girl doesn’t want to look beautiful before going out?

Besides, this time Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were going to Huangtong City.

Even if it was Jiang Xinxuan’s biological uncle’s place, it counted as a relative’s home.

Because the Bai Family was hosting a joyous occasion, who knows what kind of people would be at the Bai home, Jiang Xinxuan would definitely want to dress up nicely.

Even if Jiang Xinxuan didn’t dress up, she was still a great beauty.

Su Mu remembered that when he and Xuanxuan went on a trip last time, she looked the most beautiful just after a shower.

But even if Jiang Xinxuan was naturally beautiful, if you asked her to go out bare-faced, she probably wouldn’t have the courage.

It’s just like how even the thinnest woman would think she needs to be even thinner to be more beautiful.

Beautiful women, of course, want to elevate their beauty by dressing up.

Isn’t there a saying: "There are no ugly women, only lazy ones"?

If ugly women can make themselves pretty through makeup and dressing up, then beauties certainly can’t afford to be negligent.

If they were outshone by someone who was naturally less attractive simply because they didn’t dress up, that would be so frustrating.

Of course, Su Mu wouldn’t think so much about a girl’s inner thoughts.

He just knew that Xuanxuan would definitely want to dress up as well.

Since dressing up was involved, it would certainly take a good amount of time.

Su Mu sent a WeChat message directly to his girlfriend, "Xuanxuan, I’m heading over now, get ready."

Su Mu’s castle was located on a hill by the sea in Huadong City.

Jiang Xinxuan’s Yulong Lake Villa was in the downtown area of Huadong City. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Looking at the direct distance, it wasn’t very far from the castle to Yulong Lake Villa.

But how could a city possibly allow you to drive in a straight line, nor would there be such roads made.

Of course, driving in the city area would certainly take up quite a bit of time.

Su Mu was very experienced in driving from the castle to Yulong Lake Villa.

Su Mu knew that the time it would take him to go from the castle to Xuanxuan’s home should be more than ample for Xuanxuan to dress up thoroughly.

"Okay, I’ll get ready right away."

Instant reply

Seeing the WeChat message from his girlfriend, Su Mu hooked the corner of his mouth.

It seems Xuanxuan is already up, huh?

Maybe at this moment, Xuanxuan is already dressed up, you never know.

Su Mu remembered that every time he went to pick up Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan would always be waiting at the gate of the Yulong Lake Villa area.

There really wasn’t a single time Su Mu had to wait for her.

That was one of Jiang Xinxuan’s many strong points, I guess.

Jiang Xinxuan never felt that just because she was a girl, and a very beautiful one at that, she should be particularly spoiled or anything.

Of course, this philosophy of Jiang Xinxuan’s only applied to Su Mu.

In the eyes of everyone else, Jiang Xinxuan was definitely a proud and beautiful girl.

You know, during those three years at Huadong International Middle School, so many boys lined up just for the chance to say a word to Jiang Xinxuan.

Yet our great beauty never even gave these people a proper look, let alone speak to them.

Back then, a saying circulated in Huadong City International Middle School: If you want to catch a glimpse from the great beauty Jiang, you must follow Su Mu.

The reason is simple, the eyes of the masses are keen.

Throughout high school, Jiang Xinxuan showed a different attitude towards Su Mu compared to other boys, so the young people understood, of course.

The great beauty Jiang had a crush on Su Mu.

What a pity, who was Su Mu?

Even though, at that time, Su Mu had not disclosed his identity as the young master of the Su Family group, in Huadong City International Middle School he was still a notable figure.

Want to follow Su Mu? That wasn’t an easy task.

Plus, in high school, the distance between Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan was maintained almost imperceptibly.

Everyone couldn’t quite grasp what Su Mu’s thoughts on Jiang Xinxuan truly were.

Speculation that sparked imagination stopped there.

There were no other rumors spreading around.

After all, no one dared to speak carelessly.

Certain things you can guess all you want in your heart, but speaking them out loud, you have to consider the other party.

Su Mu, even if just a student from a very average family background, was not someone other students could afford to provoke.

Of course, no one dared to spread rumors.

Later, after Su Mu disclosed his real identity, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they had some discernment back in their high school days and hadn’t caused trouble with Su Mu.

Probably only Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu regretted it so much they could spit blood.

They had gone through three peaceful years of high school, yet these two chose to embarrass Su Mu at the graduation dinner of all times.

Well, now, they had really hit a steel plate.

After kicking that steel plate, both probably felt as if they were battered and bruised.

And for Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu, their actions at the graduation dinner were truly foolish to the extreme.

They had held back for three years of high school, so why couldn’t they restrain themselves at the very end?

Was it because they felt that they definitely couldn’t compete with Su Mu at school?

But once high school was over, they probably wanted to show off their economic status in front of Su Mu, one way or another.

After all, throughout those three high school years, Su Mu had always portrayed himself as a kid from an ordinary family.

Even Su Mu’s attendance at Huadong City International Middle School was due to passing the entrance exams on his own merit.

Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping didn’t pull any strings, let alone use the Su Family group’s name to place Su Mu into that elite school in Huadong City.

So, right up to the graduation dinner, Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu still deeply believed that Su Mu was just a kid from a poor family.
