Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 532 - 531 Not a Bad Shortcut
Chapter 532: Chapter 531 Not a Bad Shortcut
Bai Wanting found it very strange that her cousin had forgotten to tell Su Mu such a huge matter as her father’s attitude towards the Su Family.
Bai Wanting couldn’t understand what could have possibly made Xuanxuan forget such an important issue.
After all, Xuanxuan and Su Mu had driven all the way from Huadong City to Huangtong City.
In Bai Wanting’s heart, she felt it was impossible for Xuanxuan to forget, right?
Even if Xuanxuan had forgotten in Huadong City, as they got closer to the Bai Family, Bai Wanting believed that without some special reason, Xuanxuan couldn’t have failed to remember and give Su Mu a heads-up.
Xuanxuan was indeed very reliable in handling matters.
When it came to her cousin, Bai Wanting also had great trust.
Otherwise, Bai Wanting wouldn’t have entrusted such an important matter as selecting the best man to her cousin.
Even if Bai Wanting really couldn’t find a suitable best man herself, she wouldn’t assign the task to someone unreliable.
The importance of the best man and maid of honor at a wedding was, of course, very clear to Bai Wanting.
It was precisely because she was clear that Bai Wanting chose her cousin to be the maid of honor.
She then entrusted the search for a best man to this cousin as well.
So now, Bai Wanting was naturally very curious about what Xuanxuan and her aunt were discussing.
Bai Wanting knew that what Xuanxuan was discussing now was the reason she forgot to tell Su Mu about her father’s enthusiastic and admiring attitude towards the Su Family.
Naturally, Bai Wanting also really wanted to know what could distract Xuanxuan to such an extent.
In Bai Wanting’s view, the matter Xuanxuan was telling her aunt must relate to Su Mu.
Only matters related to Su Mu could make Xuanxuan lose composure to such an extent.
On this point, Bai Wanting had no doubts whatsoever.
Bai Wanting felt that what Xuanxuan was discussing with her aunt must also be a significant issue.
Otherwise, why would her usually calm aunt look so shocked?
Her aunt was well aware that the relatives of the Bai Family standing here were all paying attention to her and Xuanxuan.
Just now, her aunt’s clearly uncontrolled volume almost certainly aroused immense curiosity among these relatives of the Bai Family.
Bai Wanting knew that now was not the time to ask.
If Bai Wanting spoke up, those relatives of the Bai Family would surely follow up with questions en masse, as if finding an opening.
Of course, they would ask with great concern.
The relatives of the Bai Family were worldly people who knew what attitude to take when speaking in front of different people.
Originally, everyone was relatives, and the relationships were very equal.
Only after Jiang Xinxuan got the status of the girlfriend of the young master of the Su Family did the Bai Family relatives, without anyone prompting, elevate the status of Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Mingyun up a level.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Mingyun didn’t feel they were any different from others and treated these relatives the same as before.
"Mingyun, is there something wrong?"
Just because Bai Wanting had thought things through didn’t mean everyone else could do the same.
Bai Wanting, who stood closest to Jiang Xinxuan, did not speak up; instead, it was Jiang Xinxuan’s aunt by marriage who couldn’t hold back.
She took a few steps forward, walked up to her sister-in-law, and He Jingfen spoke up.
Both He Jingfen and her husband Bai Mingqi were very eager to enter the villa to find Su Mu.
Although He Jingfen and Bai Mingqi were not very familiar with Su Mu, they believed that as long as they could enter the villa, they would be able to speak a few words with him.
Moreover, seeing how familiar their future foreign son-in-law appeared to be with Su Mu, Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen felt that Allen was finally of some use.
At the very least, Allen could act as an intermediary to help Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen introduce themselves to Su Mu, which they considered to be a splendid shortcut.
The villa that Su Mu was currently in still belonged to Bai Mingqi, but due to various reasons, Bai Mingqi felt the need to think twice before immediately entering his own house.
He thought about how he had always wanted to meet the young master of the Su Family and today he had finally seen him.
Su Mu had also courteously called Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen "Uncle" and "Aunt" just now.
But Bai Mingqi felt that he hadn’t yet spoken a single word of "sincere conversation" with the Su Family’s young master.
Of course, Bai Mingqi wanted to enter the villa right away.
Since everyone was discussing Xuanxuan’s health issues just now, Bai Mingqi certainly couldn’t completely ignore his niece’s health.
However, as Xuanxuan repeatedly made it clear that he felt perfectly fine, Bai Mingqi shared the same thought as Bai Mingyun.
The relatives were so enthusiastic purely to make an impression on Su Mu.
Of course, Su Mu was not outside at the moment and therefore did not witness this scene.
Not having seen this, Su Mu could not possibly know how warm and concerned the Bai Family relatives were towards Jiang Xinxuan.
So, for the Bai Family relatives, only by enthusiastically taking Jiang Xinxuan to the hospital for a checkup would the young master of the Su Family Group know how much they cared for Jiang Xinxuan.
Only in this way, could they leave some impression in the heart of the Su Family’s young master, right?
Bai Mingqi was, after all, a bit more patient than He Jingfen.
Seeing his sister’s unsettled look because of Xuanxuan’s words, Bai Mingqi knew Xuanxuan must have told his mother something very important.
Of course, this important matter must be something very good for both Xuanxuan and his sister.
Not for any other reason, but looking at the smile that Bai Mingyun could not hide after the shock, Bai Mingqi knew that the conversation between Xuanxuan and his mother must have been about something very fortunate.
As for what the good news was, Bai Mingqi couldn’t guess the exact answer, but he was a hundred percent sure it had something to do with Su Mu.
Bai Mingqi also knew now was not the time to ask his sister or Xuanxuan; some things could wait until after the enthusiastic relatives had gone home. Then, Bai Mingqi felt he could find time to ask his sister.
Just because Bai Mingqi could keep his composure, it didn’t mean He Jingfen could do the same.
He Jingfen was still excited about Su Mu calling her "Aunt."
He Jingfen truly hadn’t expected the young master of the Su Family Group to call her "Aunt" so warmly on his very first visit to Huangtong City.
Seeing such a handsome Su Family young master calling her "Aunt," He Jingfen felt even more thrilled than when Allen called her "Mom."
There’s a saying that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more pleasing he becomes.
In He Jingfen’s case, it had turned into an aunt seeing her nephew-in-law, becoming more delighted the more she looked.
Of course, He Jingfen could not yet directly refer to Su Mu as her nephew-in-law.
After all, Su Mu and Xuanxuan were just in a relationship, nowhere near discussing marriage.
He Jingfen was aware that when Su Mu called her "Auntie," it was merely a formality.
Thus, the thoughts and feelings of He Jingfen could only remain in her heart.
He Jingfen noticed that Xuanxuan consistently insisted that she wasn’t feeling unwell.
He Jingfen’s thought, of course, was that if Xuanxuan was not uncomfortable, she and her husband should have entered the villa right away.
Although Allen was with Su Mu, there were so many other people standing outside the villa.
For the young master of the Su Family inside, who had no idea what was happening outside, this was hardly a proper way to treat guests.
Since when does the host stand outside not knowing what to do, while the guests are left inside the house?
He Jingfen was truly anxious and had neglected the fact that it wasn’t just her and her husband, daughter, but also her sister-in-law and niece present.
Now, a large group of the Bai Family relatives were standing at the entrance of the Bai Family’s villa.
These Bai Family relatives were eagerly waiting to hear from Bai Mingyun’s mouth what exactly Jiang Xinxuan had said earlier.
The relatives of the Bai Family, like He Jingfen, wanted to ask directly.
However, knowing they weren’t in a position to do so and though related to Bai Mingyun, they were not that intimately connected.
The relatives of the Bai Family understood that even if they did ask outright, Bai Mingyun would not tell them.
But now, as those from the Bai Family dared not ask, He Jingfen went ahead and did what everyone wanted but feared to do.
Seeing He Jingfen start to question Bai Mingyun, everyone’s breaths became even more shallow.
It seemed as if many people were holding their breath, fearing that breathing a bit heavier might cause them to miss Bai Mingyun’s response.
"Mom..."
Jiang Xinxuan, seeing her aunt question her mom, was afraid her mom, in a moment of excitement, would blurt out what she had just said.
Jiang Xinxuan called out, as a reminder for her mom to be aware of the many people around.
If it were only her uncle, aunt, and cousin, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t mind sharing such good news with her family.
Yet, the people currently standing there were relatives of the Bai Family, and not many were familiar to Jiang Xinxuan.
One could only say that before Jiang Xinxuan had the aura of being the girlfriend to the heir of the Su Corporation, the Bai Family’s relatives never thought to get close to such a girl.
Therefore, the Bai Family’s relatives truly regret not having developed a relationship with Jiang Xinxuan from the moment she was born.
Who knew everyone didn’t have the ability to foresee the future?
Now, trying to develop a relationship clearly seemed too late.
All they could do was attempt to make amends as best as they could.
"Xuanxuan, mom understands."
Bai Mingyun had merely been unable to control her emotions when she first heard from her daughter that Su Mu was going to take Xuanxuan home to formally meet Su Mu’s grandfather and parents, hence her slight lapse in composure.
Now, Bai Mingyun had adjusted her mentality internally and wouldn’t lose control again.
Bai Mingyun also knew these relatives staring intently at her were eager to hear some secrets spill from her mouth.
Bai Mingyun was certain that if she really spoke out about what Xuanxuan had just told her, these relatives would probably flip.
Su Mu was planning to bring Xuanxuan home to formally meet his own grandparents and parents, what did that imply?
It implied that Jiang Xinxuan would be officially acknowledged by the Su Family’s elders.
Of course, this didn’t necessarily mean that Jiang Xinxuan would definitely marry into the Su Family.
But no matter how you looked at it, this was very good news.
Formally visiting the Su Family to meet the elders also signified a further elevation in Jiang Xinxuan’s status.
If the Bai Family’s relatives heard this news, they would probably be so excited that they would rush straight to Jiang Xinxuan to congratulate her.
If such a scenario were to happen, things would truly become a bit out of control.
Moreover, Su Mu and Allen had been inside the villa for a while now, and if they dawdled any longer, who knew if Su Mu might come out to see why his girlfriend hadn’t entered yet?
Before Su Mu and Allen entered the Bai Family’s villa, Jiang Xinxuan and the Bai Family’s relatives had all been acting very normally.
It could even be said that Jiang Xinxuan and Bai Wanting were just following right behind Su Mu and Allen.
Considering a normal pace, even if Bai Wanting couldn’t walk too fast because of her pregnancy, given such a long time, she should have already made it into the villa, even with small, slow steps.
Bai Mingyun was now certain that her daughter wasn’t feeling any discomfort physically, so of course, there was nothing to worry about.
Concerning the great news mentioned by Xuanxuan, Bai Mingyun thought it best to wait until later when there were no outsiders at the Bai Family’s home, to talk with her brother and sister-in-law about it.
Right now, Su Mu had only mentioned bringing Xuanxuan home to meet the elders and hadn’t talked about any other marriage-related matters.
Naturally, Bai Mingyun didn’t want Su Mu to think that the Jiang Family had no sense of propriety.
If she made a big fuss just because of a visit to meet the family, Bai Mingyun would feel embarrassed herself.
Thus, all the excitement she felt now had to be kept inside; even if her sister-in-law asked her, Bai Mingyun couldn’t possibly give a truthful answer.
In fact, if the person in question weren’t Su Mu, if it weren’t the Su Family of the Su Corporation,
Bai Mingyun definitely wouldn’t be this excited just because her daughter was going to meet her boyfriend’s parents.
If it were anyone else, Bai Mingyun would at most help her daughter prepare some suitable gifts.
As for being excited, Bai Mingyun thought that with a daughter as outstanding as hers, it should be the boy’s family who ought to be excited.
Who among parents wouldn’t be thrilled to have a girlfriend for their son with credentials like Jiang Xinxuan’s?
Of course, that’s excluding Su Mu and the Su Family of the Su Corporation.
Compared with Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan’s radiance seemed to barely shine at all.
Both are excellent, but in the presence of someone supremely excellent, doesn’t normal excellence become just average?
Moreover, comparing their economic conditions, the Jiang Family was certainly wealthy in terms of the average person.
Even compared with other powerful families, the Jiang Family was quite capable and by no means inferior.
Being the tycoon of the construction industry, Jiang Xinxuan’s father wasn’t renowned for nothing.
It’s just that all this was inconsequential in front of the Su Corporation.
