Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 525 - 524 Worship

Allen’s evident familiarity with Su Mu naturally attracted the full attention of other Bai Family relatives who were standing there.

Everyone was, of course, very curious about the old friends’ demeanor shared between Allen and the Young Master of the Su Family.

Naturally, drawing attention would surely lead to discussions among everyone.

The initial topic of conversation was why Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law seemed to have formed a connection with the Young Master of the Su Family.

Everyone thought this might be an area from which they could learn.

But as they discussed, the tone of the conversation began to change.

Indeed, where there are many people, disputes are prone to arise.

This doesn’t only apply to women; it’s the same for men.

"We’re all in the same boat, so there’s no reason for one brother to laugh at another," someone said.

People tightened their expressions because those who came to the Bai Family were all related.

And these relations were not distant ones.

You must know, the relatives who weren’t very close had been "politely" asked to leave by Bai Mingqi.

Those who remained obviously had a rather special relationship with him.

Unable to show outright discontent, the person who felt they were being mocked could only express their discontent unhappily.

"We’re not mocking you; we just thought your conversation was amusing," they said.

Because they couldn’t restrain their laughter and had offended someone, the few people hurriedly retracted the smiles from their faces.

It was better not to escalate such issues.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they just give Bai Mingqi the chance to send them away?

Everyone present understood that if it weren’t for their relatively close familial relations with Bai Mingqi,

He wouldn’t be able to issue an order to dismiss them, and they would probably have been asked to leave the Bai Family like the group before them.

Nobody wanted such an outcome, of course.

After all, staying meant they harbored the same intentions as others, right?

It was truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Trying to smooth things over and knowing they couldn’t afford to cause a scene in front of the Young Master of the Su Family, these relatives proved to be quite sensible.

"What’s so amusing? Don’t all of you think the same?"

Seeing the other party relent, the person who felt they had lost face became somewhat relentless.

It was as if they wanted to force others to admit they shared the same thought, only to preserve their own dignity.

"You..."

Although what was said was true, it would have been fine to just think it—bringing such thoughts up for open discussion was a different matter.

The one who laughed initially hadn’t expected this; they didn’t want to create a disturbance in front of the Young Master of the Su Family.

Since everyone was related, a greeting was intended to suffice, and then the small matter would be put behind them.

But as they took a step back, someone else wanted to take two or three steps forward.

All these relatives of the Bai Family had their own social standings; none of them were used to being "insulted."

Feeling discontented, they naturally did not have a friendly tone.

As the situation heated up, it seemed like a conflict would erupt.

Or rather, an actual fight was unlikely, considering they were at the Bai Family home; even if emotions ran high, reason surely hadn’t been left behind.

"Alright, alright, is this how you want the Young Master of the Su Family to perceive you?"

As the situation turned sour, someone nearby made this light-hearted comment.

Instantly, the rising tempers on both sides were quelled.

Isn’t that the truth?

Arguing would be embarrassing enough, forget about fighting; just a verbal skirmish in front of the Young Master of the Su Family would be a disgrace.

Moreover, it might leave a very poor impression on the Young Master of the Su Family.

This outcome would indeed be worse than leaving no impression at all.

"Hmmph..."

"Hmmph..."

The conflict subsided, but the disdain between them was mutual.

Looks like there wouldn’t be much interaction between these relatives in the future.

As for these relatives of the Bai Family, Su Mu wouldn’t bother with them, even if they stood together in a large group.

These were people with no relation to him, so it would be strange if Su Mu paid them any attention.

"Thank you, Mu, really, thank you. I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you," Allen said.

Allen and Su Mu were not affected by those few Bai Family relatives.

Because those people were quite self-aware.

Even though they were on the brink of a "war," they managed to keep their voices perfectly controlled.

Even though Su Mu and Allen weren’t far from those relatives, they perfectly avoided the "lively" discussion.

Allen’s thanks held deep meaning.

The first thank you was definitely in reference to the bridal shop in Huadong City.

If not for Su Mu, Allen knew that his fiancée, Bai Wanting, would never have obtained her dream wedding dress.

Even though Allen had clearly stated he was willing to pay any price for that particular dress, the bridal shop manager didn’t show the slightest bit of flexibility.

Eventually, Allen realized that it wasn’t a lack of sincerity on his part, but that the bridal shop belonged to the Su Family Corporation.

To the Su Family Corporation, the money from one dress was inconsequential.

Naturally, Allen’s offer didn’t even warrant a glance from them.

If Bai Wanting couldn’t get the wedding dress she had set her heart on, it would surely be a major regret for both Allen and Bai Wanting’s upcoming nuptials.

This thank you was for Su Mu being the Young Master of the Su Family Corporation.

And the bridal shop they visited happened to be under the Su Family Corporation umbrella.

As it was Su Mu’s family business, naturally all problems were no problem at all.

Bai Wanting indeed managed to get the wedding dress she had set her eyes on, a dress that the bridal shop didn’t sell to the public.

It was Director Bai of the Su Family Group that had given Bai Wanting the dress. As for Bai Wanting’s prestige, it had greatly increased because her cousin was Su Mu’s girlfriend.

Allen’s second thank-you, of course, was for Su Mu agreeing to be his best man.

Initially, Bai Wanting had asked Xuanxuan to find a best man for her, simply because Allen had no friends in China.

Let alone finding an appropriate best man, even sourcing an unsuitable male to be a best man was impossible for Allen.

As for Bai Wanting, she had been abroad for many years. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Therefore, she had naturally grown estranged from her old friends back home.

Had Bai Wanting been asked to find a few female friends to be bridesmaids, she could have managed that.

Of course, Bai Wanting had long decided to have her cousin be her bridesmaid.

So, the task of finding bridesmaids was obviously not going to be that troublesome.

But asking Bai Wanting to find a man to be Allen’s best man left her feeling slightly powerless.

With no other options, Bai Wanting forced the tough job onto Jiang Xinxuan.

What Bai Wanting didn’t expect was that Xinxuan not only completed the task she was given excellently, finding an extremely handsome best man for Allen,

but to Bai Wanting’s greater surprise, this super handsome best man turned out to be Xinxuan’s own boyfriend.

The identity of Xinxuan’s boyfriend left Bai Wanting so shocked that she was speechless.

Xinxuan’s boyfriend, Su Mu, turned out to be the young master of the Su Family Group.

Allen, of course, had to thank Su Mu for his status.

Allen had found that ever since Su Mu became his best man, his marriage to Bai Wanting seemed to sail smoothly.

Even Bai Mingqi, the biggest obstacle to Allen and Bai Wanting’s marriage, Bai Wanting’s father, had had a change of heart when he learned that the junior master of the Su Family Group would be the best man for his foreign son-in-law, whom he had not much liked.

Bai Mingqi suddenly found his foreign son-in-law, whom he had not looked upon favorably, much more appealing.

Once Bai Mingqi’s view of Allen improved because of Su Mu, it naturally followed that he would no longer oppose the marriage between Allen and Bai Wanting.

So, after He Jingfen brought Bai Wanting and Allen back to the Bai Family from the Jiang Family in Huadong City, the wedding arrangements went as smoothly as could be.

At first, Allen was baffled, thinking maybe this sudden shift in his father-in-law’s attitude was too quick?

For his ever-changing father-in-law, Allen felt somewhat nervous.

In Allen’s view, if his father-in-law could change his attitude so drastically and agree to his marriage to Bai Wanting so readily,

what would happen if one day the father-in-law became unhappy again and decided to oppose their marriage?

Luckily, while Allen was in the dark about the reasons, Bai Wanting clearly understood them.

After Bai Wanting explained privately, Allen’s anxiety finally eased.

Because Allen realized that the drastic change in his future father-in-law’s attitude wasn’t due to the fickleness he had imagined,

but solely because his father-in-law had learned that Su Mu would be his best man, which led to such a radical change in attitude.

Naturally, realizing the enormous charm of his idol, who could even influence his father-in-law’s attitude,

Allen’s admiration for Su Mu could only intensify.

Now, when Allen said thank you to Su Mu, it was his way of expressing all his gratitude and admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Foreigners, you know, they don’t like to beat around the bush.

If they like something, they say they like it; if they admire someone, they say they admire them. Just expressing it straightforwardly is fine.

After all, Allen didn’t feel there was anything embarrassing about expressing his admiration for his idol Su Mu in front of so many people.

It was even less a matter of losing face.

Allen was more or less aware of the reasons why so many people were coming to the Bai Family these days.

Allen knew that when he thanked Su Mu, these people would not think less of him; instead, they would be envious if they had the time.

You have to understand, these people didn’t even have the chance to talk to Su Mu.

"Allen, we are all friends. It’s too polite to say such things," Su Mu responded.

Su Mu knew Allen wanted to thank him for agreeing to be his best man.

But in Su Mu’s view, he had initially agreed because of his girlfriend’s request.

Moreover, Su Mu had the time and felt that being the fiancé’s best man for his girlfriend’s cousin wasn’t a big deal.

Su Mu had, of course, agreed right away.

Later, in his interactions with Allen, Su Mu found that Allen was a very nice friend worth making.

Su Mu felt that he hadn’t made a wrong choice in being a best man.

Now, seeing Allen repeatedly expressing his gratitude, Su Mu felt that Allen was making "a mountain out of a molehill."

Of course, Su Mu knew that Allen genuinely wanted to say thanks.

It’s just that Su Mu thought Allen was exaggerating a bit.

"Did the young master of the Su Family say he and Bai Mingqi’s son-in-law are friends?"

"Heard it loud and clear; we all have ears. Seems like Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law is no small deal."

"I’ve heard Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law’s family in Canada is quite powerful too. Do you think there might be some business dealings between the Su Family Corporation in Huadong City and Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law’s family, which is why the Su Family’s young master and Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law are friends?"

"I don’t know about that, but I heard that at first, Bai Mingqi wasn’t pleased with his foreign son-in-law. Bai Mingqi didn’t want his daughter to marry so far away initially."

"I heard about that too. The matter caused quite a stir at the beginning; weren’t Bai Wanting and her fiancé taken to Huadong City by Mingyun? It was because Bai Mingqi was against their marriage at first."

"But Bai Wanting and her fiancé haven’t been back in the country for long, how did Bai Mingqi’s attitude change so quickly?"

"Old Zhang, I realize you’re really slow on the uptake. Did Bai Mingqi swiftly change his stance for any other reason than knowing his son-in-law and the young master of the Su Family are friends?"

"Can’t you see how much Bai Mingqi values the arrival of the Su Family’s young master? If you really can’t see that, why have you been hanging around Bai Mingqi’s house every day for the past few days?"

"I really didn’t know the inside story. I came to the Bai Family mainly because I heard Bai Mingqi say the young master of the Su Family Corporation in Huadong City, the Su Family’s young master, would come to Bai Family’s house to be Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law’s best man."

"The Su Family’s young master—who doesn’t want to get to know him, to establish a connection? Of course, I came for the young master of the Su Family; I thought it was Bai Mingqi who knew him. Now it seems I misunderstood."

"You really got it wrong in a major way. If Bai Mingqi knew the Su Family’s young master, he would have been bragging everywhere, would he have waited until now?"

"Besides, if it were Bai Mingqi who personally knew the young master of the Su Family, why would he suddenly change his attitude about his daughter’s marriage to that foreign son-in-law?"

"Now that you explain it, I understand. Looks like I really am getting senile."

The very normal and mundane phrase "we are all friends" that Su Mu said to Allen, made the Bai Family relatives who had been closely watching Su Mu’s every move suddenly explode in commotion.

Could it be that everyone’s half-baked guesses were all wrong?

So it turns out Bai Mingqi’s foreign son-in-law is a friend of the Su Family’s young master—no wonder Bai Mingqi’s attitude changed so abruptly.
