Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 517 - 516: Spoiler Alert

Fortunately, Bai Mingqi really did hear it.

When Bai Mingqi heard that his niece and her mother would be driving to Huangtong City with Su Mu soon, he was truly excited.

Bai Mingqi resisted the urge to snatch the cellphone from his sister’s hand.

Instead, Bai Mingqi’s entire attention was focused on the words Xuanxuan was saying on Bai Mingyun’s phone.

It was imaginable that when Bai Mingqi heard Xuanxuan say if uncle’s house is busy, they could have lunch outside before going to uncle’s house, Bai Mingqi was thrilled.

How could Bai Mingqi not be excited?

Bai Mingqi had urgently set the wedding date for Bai Wanting and Allen, wasn’t it just to see Su Family Group’s young master, Su Mu, sooner?

If it weren’t for Bai Mingqi still retaining a hint of reason when he found out that Su Mu would be the best man for Allen,

Bai Mingqi really wished he could have held his daughter’s wedding with Allen the very next day.

He Jingfen being able to bring back Bai Wanting and Allen from Huadong City had already indicated that Bai Mingqi had softened his stance.

But when exactly the wedding would take place depended on when Bai Mingqi’s upset feelings would fade away.

When Bai Wanting and Allen returned to Huangtong City with their mother, they hadn’t expected that just because of the words "Su Mu," their wedding would proceed so smoothly.

They knew that upon returning home, a "thunderstorm" was inevitable.

After all, to let Bai Mingqi release his displeasure, he had to let out his frustrations, right?

Very fortunately, this "thunderstorm" was completely changed by the words "Su Mu."

Now in the Bai Family, there was no need to fear seeing Bai Mingqi’s displeased expression.

The current Bai Mingqi was all smiles, as if he couldn’t stand to wait to marry off his daughter immediately.

Wasn’t Bai Mingqi’s rush to set the wedding date for Bai Wanting and Allen all about eagerly meeting the famous young master of the Su Family Group, Su Mu?

But now things had turned around, Bai Mingqi had finally looked forward to Su Mu coming to Huangtong City.

According to Xuanxuan on the phone, they didn’t plan to go directly to the Bai Family, they wanted to dine out first.

Of course, Xuanxuan was just being considerate, not wanting to disturb anyone at Bai Family because of the wedding preparations.

But Bai Mingqi didn’t see it that way.

How important could the wedding preparations be? Most of it was outsourced besides some minor details.

Besides, He Jingfen had specifically asked Bai Mingyun to come over and help with those minor details, hadn’t she?

For Bai Mingqi, the most important thing at the moment was to entertain the young master of the Su Family Group properly.

In Bai Mingqi’s eyes, Su Mu wasn’t just an ordinary groomsman at his daughter’s wedding.

If it had been a regular groomsman, Bai Mingqi probably wouldn’t have bothered to show much hospitality.

A normal groomsman, Bai Mingqi would definitely think it was a matter for the young people to handle themselves.

He would let Bai Wanting and Allen entertain him themselves.

There’s no way Bai Mingqi would personally take the responsibility to welcome him.

But Su Mu was different.

Su Mu was the grandson of Su Junqiang, the idol whom Bai Mingqi had always admired.

He was also the heir to the Su Family Group.

Just for that reason alone, Bai Mingqi didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Bai Mingqi hadn’t had the chance to meet Elder Su in person, because he never had the opportunity.

For Bai Mingqi, this was a cause for deep regret.

Luckily, now he finally had the chance to meet Elder Su’s grandson.

To Bai Mingqi, this was also a matter of great honor.

Moreover, Bai Mingqi had heard from his wife that Su Mu was now Xuanxuan’s boyfriend.

If Xuanxuan and Su Mu were really able to make it work, Bai Mingqi believed that his greatest wish in life would truly be fulfilled.

After all, as long as Xuanxuan and Su Mu were really together, Elder Su would definitely attend their wedding.

There was no doubt about it.

As the uncle from the bride’s family, wouldn’t Bai Mingqi then have the opportunity for a face-to-face encounter with Elder Su?

Thinking of this, Bai Mingqi was incredibly excited.

The current Bai Mingqi was wholeheartedly looking forward to Su Mu and Xuanxuan getting married in a church sooner rather than later.

Of course, no matter how much Bai Mingqi thought about it, it was of no use.

What Bai Mingqi could count on now was that he could finally meet the young master of the Su Family group.

Regarding Xuanxuan’s suggestion of going out to eat, Bai Mingqi was, of course, vehemently against it.

Wasn’t that the equivalent of delaying the time he wanted to meet Su Mu?

If Su Mu and Xuanxuan ate out, and then spent time aimlessly wandering and having fun, wouldn’t Bai Mingqi end up spending the whole day waiting?

That was why Bai Mingqi had such a strong reaction.

Bai Mingqi no longer cared whether or not it was appropriate to show such an agitated attitude in front of the younger generation.

In short, nothing could delay Bai Mingqi’s chance to meet Su Mu.

Even though this opportunity was certainly not going to slip away, Bai Mingqi felt waiting even a minute was unacceptable.

Jiang Xinxuan, hearing her uncle’s intense opposition to her suggestion, said no more.

In the end, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t mean anything by it.

Jiang Xinxuan simply thought that her aunt’s house might be busy, messy with the wedding preparations, and full of people.

Not wanting to cause any trouble, Jiang Xinxuan had made the suggestion.

Since her uncle was so opposed, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t insist on it.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that she wanted to enjoy Huangtong City properly with Su Mu.

It was possible to go out after lunch anyway.

Considering the wedding wasn’t until the day after tomorrow, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu didn’t need to prepare much else.

Their early arrival was only to familiarize themselves with any wedding procedures they might need to know in advance.

Only after getting a positive response from his niece did Bai Mingqi leave space for Xuanxuan and her mother.

Bai Mingyun, seeing her brother’s excited behavior just now, was truly speechless.

Logically speaking, Bai Mingqi was a man who had been exposed to a great deal of the world.

Now, to get so worked up about meeting Su Mu seemed childish to Bai Mingyun.

Of course, Bai Mingyun had evidently forgotten that on the day she knew Su Mu would be visiting her house the next day, she had been so excited she barely slept all night.

Early the next day, Bai Mingyun hurriedly went with her housemaid to the supermarket for shopping.

Compared to Bai Mingqi now, Bai Mingyun’s behavior back then was equally excited.

But Bai Mingyun wouldn’t think so; she believed it was because it was Su Mu’s first time visiting her home.

It was only right for Bai Mingyun to prepare well.

Because of Bai Mingqi’s interruption, Jiang Xinxuan and her mother hardly had a chance to speak.

Bai Mingyun only had time to urge Jiang Xinxuan to tell Su Mu to drive slowly on the road before being called away by her sister-in-law to help with something.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t mind.

Her mother had gone to Huangtong City so many days in advance precisely because her aunt was too busy and needed help.

So, Jiang Xinxuan understood why her mother didn’t have time to talk to her.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinxuan checked her dress and appearance in the mirror at home repeatedly.

Once she was completely satisfied, Jiang Xinxuan had the servants take her packed suitcase downstairs.

Seeing that the time was almost right, she herself dragged the suitcase toward the gate of her villa complex.

The walk wasn’t short, but Jiang Xinxuan didn’t feel it was an issue.

She didn’t want to have the family driver drop her off at the villa entrance either.

For Jiang Xinxuan, dragging her suitcase towards the gate, eagerly anticipating Su Mu’s arrival to pick her up, felt quite romantic.

The incident that followed involved Su Mu teasing Jiang Xinxuan.

Jiang Xinxuan had no choice but to change the subject.

"Why wait hungry for us? When it’s time, you could’ve just let your uncle and the others eat first. We can simply find a restaurant outside to eat at," she said.

Su Mu found it a bit unreasonable. Was it such a big deal to wait, that one had to stay hungry?

Su Mu drove himself for the very sake of having more freedom with time.

If it happened to be lunchtime and he and Xuanxuan were hungry, they could just drive the car to any mall and find a decent-looking restaurant to eat at.

It was a very simple matter and didn’t feel inconvenient at all.

If he heard that Xuanxuan’s uncle’s family was waiting for them, Su Mu would actually feel less at ease.

"Su Mu, I called my mom this morning to tell her we’d go to Huangtong City this forenoon."

"Just so happened that my uncle was by her side at the time. I did mention that if my uncle’s family was busy, we’d have lunch outside on our own."

"But my uncle overheard it and said no matter how late, they would wait for us. He insisted we must come home for lunch."

"Su Mu, would that make you unhappy?"

"There might really be a lot of people at my uncle’s house. If you feel it’s inconvenient, I can call my mom again and let her know," Jiang Xinxuan said.

She felt Su Mu might not want to eat with so many strangers and could feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Xinxuan also blamed herself internally.

When her uncle insisted on waiting for Su Mu to have lunch, why hadn’t she considered whether Su Mu would feel uncomfortable?

Because Jiang Xinxuan knew her uncle would be so enthusiastic towards Su Mu.

So, at the time, she really hadn’t given it much more thought.

Now, seeing that Su Mu didn’t seem very keen on going to her uncle’s house for lunch, Jiang Xinxuan suddenly realized—had she been too inconsiderate?

Su Mu had met her parents, which was fine.

But that didn’t mean he was ready to meet a whole bunch of her relatives right now.

Besides, Su Mu agreed to go to Huangtong City to be Allen’s best man.

He wasn’t going to satisfy his uncle’s admiration for the Su Family.

Of course, Su Mu didn’t know about Bai Mingqi’s intense obsession with the Su Family.

Jiang Xinxuan also didn’t know how to explain to Su Mu why her uncle was so fixated.

Jiang Xinxuan subconsciously wanted to make up for her earlier lack of consideration.

"Su Mu, I’ll call my mom now, or maybe I should just call my uncle directly"

Jiang Xinxuan knew her uncle’s temper and felt it was better to call him directly to convey that it was Su Mu’s wish, so he wouldn’t wait for Su Mu and her any longer.

Only if she made it clear that this was Su Mu’s wish did Jiang Xinxuan know her uncle would reluctantly accept it.

Otherwise, if she let her mom convey the message, she guessed her uncle might not believe it.

Jiang Xinxuan unzipped her bag, ready to take out her phone.

But remembering her uncle’s excited voice earlier, Jiang Xinxuan’s brow slightly furrowed.

She wondered if her uncle would be even more agitated upon receiving this call than he had been earlier?

Thinking of her uncle’s booming voice, Jiang Xinxuan looked awkwardly at Su Mu sitting next to her.

Wouldn’t that make Su Mu hear her uncle "shouting and screaming"?

Would Su Mu think her uncle was being "abnormal" in some way?

Jiang Xinxuan certainly didn’t want Su Mu to misunderstand her uncle.

After all, it was her own uncle, and certainly, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want Su Mu to have a bad impression of him before they even had a chance to meet.

Su Mu certainly noticed his girlfriend’s slight frown and hesitation to take her phone out of the bag.

Su Mu thought Xuanxuan might want to see her mom and cousin sooner, so she probably wanted to go to the Bai Family’s place earlier.

Su Mu’s visit this time was to be Allen’s best man.

It was quite normal for the groom’s best man to meet the Bai Family’s people.

It was inevitable sooner or later, and Su Mu had no objection to meeting the Bai Family’s members.

Su Mu just thought it was strange because of Xuanxuan’s comment that "Uncle will be hungry waiting for us".

Seeing his girlfriend in such a dilemma, Su Mu checked the time, guessing that driving to Huangtong City wouldn’t be too late.

As there was still enough time, Su Mu certainly didn’t want to see his girlfriend looking troubled.

"Never mind, you don’t need to call now. If we’re really running late because of traffic or something, we can just call your uncle then to let them know not to wait for us."

Although Su Mu estimated there was enough time.

But he couldn’t guarantee the traffic conditions on the highway.

If there really was a traffic jam or some other emergency happened, Su Mu said there would be nothing he could do.

"Su Mu, do you mind if there might be a lot of people at my uncle’s house?"

"My cousin Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding is in the next two days, so there should be quite a lot of people coming and going at my uncle’s house."

Jiang Xinxuan was, of course, very happy to hear Su Mu’s words.

But at the same time, Jiang Xinxuan felt she should let Su Mu know so that he could be mentally prepared if he really wanted to go directly to her uncle’s house and meet a whole bunch of people.

Of course, if Su Mu didn’t want to meet so many people after knowing this, Jiang Xinxuan felt she could understand.

Putting herself in his shoes, if Jiang Xinxuan were suddenly introduced to so many strangers, she herself might not be willing either.
