Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 399 - 398: The Center of Attention

Su Mu understood at once no wonder Xuanxuan’s mom was so eager to meet him; she knew he had won her daughter’s heart.

As the parent of a girl, they would definitely attach great importance to this.

Su Mu didn’t find anything strange about it.

However, Su Mu didn’t feel the slightest bit scared of meeting Xuanxuan’s mom.

Setting aside the fact that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Corporation,

Su Mu was always seen as the exemplary child in the eyes of other parents.

Of course, if Su Mu’s identity hadn’t been revealed, there might have been a sense of mismatch in terms of economic status between him and Jiang Xinxuan’s family.

This was also why, during the high school years, though Su Mu had unique feelings for Jiang Xinxuan,

he always maintained a careful distance from her.

Su Mu certainly didn’t want Jiang Xinxuan’s parents to think he was reaching above his station.

Therefore, Su Mu was willing to ignore Jiang Xinxuan’s feelings towards him rather than being treated "differently."

But now, none of these were problems anymore.

After Su Mu’s true identity was revealed, if anyone was to be considered out of their league, it would have been Jiang Xinxuan.

The economic strength of the Jiang Family and the Su Family was simply not on the same level.

Since Su Mu didn’t see any problem, naturally, there was no issue.

"Su Mu, my parents probably don’t object to us dating."

"They certainly wouldn’t oppose us being together either."

"When I got back so late last night, my parents didn’t say anything to me."

"This should be a sign that they’ve already tacitly consented."

"So my mom’s invitation for you to visit our home is probably just to meet you."

"Will you agree?"

Jiang Xinxuan saw that Su Mu didn’t agree or refuse, and suddenly she didn’t know what he was thinking.

Fearing that Su Mu might misunderstand her mom’s intention of inviting him over, Jiang Xinxuan hurriedly explained.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan hoped Su Mu would agree to visit her home without any reservations.

So after saying so much, Jiang Xinxuan once again looked at Su Mu with a face full of expectation.

Jiang Xinxuan wanted to gauge from the slight expressions on Su Mu’s face whether he was willing or unwilling to meet her parents.

"What’s the problem with that? I’m just a student with nothing much to do; I can come at any time."

Su Mu’s tone was incredibly relaxed.

Meet the parents?

In a relationship, meeting the parents isn’t such a big deal, right?

Su Mu felt it was all just a standard procedure, so was it necessary for Xuanxuan to look so nervous about it?

Plus, theoretically, Xuanxuan had already met his own mom and dad.

His girlfriend had taken the lead in meeting his parents.

What would Su Mu, a boy, have to feel embarrassed about?

"Really?"

Perhaps Jiang Xinxuan thought Su Mu agreed too readily and couldn’t quite believe it for a moment.

"Of course, it’s true, truer than gold. Is that okay now?"

Su Mu was amused by Xuanxuan’s cute demeanor.

All he did was agree to meet her parents; was there a need to be so excited?

"You go back and ask your uncle and aunt when they’re free; I’ll come over to visit them."

Compared to himself, a person with plenty of free time, Su Mu felt Xuanxuan’s parents were definitely busier than he was.

It’s better to see when they’re available and then make a visit.

"My parents are free anytime."

It was as if he was afraid that Su Mu would change his mind, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t even need a second thought before he answered directly.

But Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t wrong.

If Su Mu were to visit, Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun would indeed be available at any time.

On one hand, Su Mu was Xuanxuan’s boyfriend, and naturally, Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun took that very seriously.

On the other hand, and this was the most important reason, it was because of Su Mu’s identity.

It was no longer Su Mu who was climbing up the social ladder to be with Jiang Xinxuan; rather, it was Jiang Xinxuan climbing up to be with Su Mu.

Compared to the Su Family, the Jiang Family’s economic status in Huadong City was indeed far lower.

If it were someone else visiting as Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend, one would really have to check whether Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun had the time.

At that time, Jiang Maohua and Bai Mingyun would totally play the seniority card, without needing to consider other factors.

"Are you sure? Don’t you need to go home and ask first?"

It was really that Xinxuan’s response came so quickly that it made Su Mu feel it was a bit unreliable.

How could Xinxuan’s father, a big shot in the construction industry, be available 24 hours a day?

Su Mu expressed his disbelief.

Even seeing his own father and mother wasn’t something Su Mu could do at any given time.

Of course, if Su Mu were willing to go to the Su Family Group to find them, that wouldn’t be a problem.

But since Su Mu generally didn’t want to show up at the company, the opportunities to see his parents were naturally much less.

Now, hearing Xuanxuan say her parents were always available, Su Mu was indeed a bit skeptical.

"I’m sure. My mother said exactly that."

Jiang Xinxuan nodded vigorously to prove he wasn’t lying.

"My mom said, just let us know in advance when you have the time to visit our house."

"By then, my parents will definitely make time."

Hearing his girlfriend say this, Su Mu, who had been driving seriously, couldn’t help but glance at her.

Very serious indeed!

Su Mu knew that these words were not just Xinxuan taking it upon herself.

It seemed like Xinxuan’s mother really was eager to meet him.

"Then let’s do tomorrow afternoon. I’ll pick you up in the morning, and we can buy something your parents would like."

Su Mu didn’t know Xuanxuan’s parents at all, and was even less likely to know the preferences of the two seniors.

So, it was obviously a very wise choice to bring his girlfriend along to pick out gifts.

"There’s no need to buy anything, my parents just want to meet you."

Jiang Xinxuan felt that her mother’s invitation for Su Mu to visit their home wasn’t meant to make him spend money.

Of course, she wanted to stop Su Mu from buying gifts.

"Wouldn’t it seem impolite to visit for the first time empty-handed?"

"If you’re not accompanying me to select gifts, I’d feel awkward about visiting."

Su Mu knew how to exploit Xinxuan’s vulnerability with just one sentence, leaving Xinxuan without the courage to rebut.

Jiang Xinxuan was one hundred percent eager for Su Mu to visit her parents’ house.

If Su Mu changed his mind over the matter of gifts, Jiang Xinxuan would probably regret it to death.

Considering Su Mu’s status, Jiang Xinxuan also understood that picking out a few gifts would be a trivial matter for Su Mu.

Since it was a minor issue, Jiang Xinxuan stopped insisting.

One couldn’t let a small issue lead to a big loss, right?

"Alright, then come to pick me up tomorrow morning, and we’ll look together."

Jiang Xinxuan thought that since she was going with Su Mu, she could just make sure not to let him choose anything too expensive.

"Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning."

And so, the matter that Jiang Xinxuan considered very important was happily decided.

For Su Mu, it really was a small matter.

He didn’t know why his girlfriend was so nervous about it.

Logically, shouldn’t Xuanxuan be the one to feel this kind of anxiety when meeting her own parents?

Now, it was Su Mu going to meet his girlfriend’s parents, and while he wasn’t nervous, Xuanxuan was exceptionally anxious.

What Su Mu didn’t know was that Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t nervous about him meeting her parents.

Jiang Xinxuan was anxious that Su Mu might be unwilling to meet her parents.

So, Su Mu had really misunderstood the reason for his girlfriend’s nervousness.

Luckily, Su Mu had agreed, and all of Jiang Xinxuan’s nervousness had disappeared.

Thinking that her boyfriend would officially meet her parents tomorrow, Jiang Xinxuan felt an indescribable happiness in her heart.

"Do your parents have any particular likes?"

There was still some distance to the pedestrian street, and Su Mu thought he should ask first so he would know where to go to choose a gift tomorrow.

"My dad likes to drink tea, and as for my mom, well, she doesn’t really have any particular hobby."

Jiang Xinxuan’s father was a tea enthusiast, something she had known since she was a child.

And Jiang Xinxuan didn’t see any problem with telling Su Mu about her dad’s hobby.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s view, for her tea enthusiast father, Su Mu could simply buy a couple of tins of good tea leaves tomorrow.

Even though good tea could also have prices in the five digits, for someone of Su Mu’s status, this really was a very light gift.

As for Jiang Xinxuan’s mom, she truly didn’t have any particular likes.

If Jiang Xinxuan had to say, it was that her mom really liked jade.

But remembering that it was Su Mu’s first time visiting her home,

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want the gift Su Mu brought to be too valuable.

Otherwise, Jiang Xinxuan always felt as if inviting Su Mu to her home was like asking him for a gift.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t like that feeling.

So, she purposely ignored mentioning her mom’s preference.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that her parents didn’t want to meet Su Mu because they were expecting him to bring gifts.

For Jiang Xinxuan’s parents, being able to see Su Mu in person was what mattered the most.

Jiang Xinxuan had heard her father say so.

At the Su Family enterprise’s evening gala, Jiang Xinxuan’s father hadn’t even had the chance to meet Su Mu.

The young master of the Su Family was, of course, the center of attention.

The Jiang family wasn’t particularly close to the Su Family,

so naturally, there was no way to get involved and get to know Su Mu at that kind of event.

Of course, if Jiang Xinxuan had attended that evening gala, things would have been different.

Regrettably, there are no "ifs" in all these matters.

"Okay, we’ll go to Wanda Plaza tomorrow and see then."

Su Mu wasn’t worried; now that he knew Xuanxuan’s dad liked tea, he’d simply choose a gift that catered to that preference.

Simple as that,

And for Xuanxuan’s mom, well, most women like jewelry, right?

Su Mu thought that he and Xuanxuan could just have a look tomorrow and buy something that looks nice.

After all, none of this was a big issue.

These days, as long as you have money, what’s there to worry about not finding the right gift?

"Alright."

As long as Su Mu agreed to come over, Jiang Xinxuan would certainly listen to whatever he said.

She didn’t even have the slightest intention to disagree; Jiang Xinxuan was completely a compliant little woman.

This very important matter for the Jiang Family was indeed easily resolved by Su Mu.

Su Mu didn’t hesitate for a second before agreeing to Xuanxuan’s request to meet the parents.

It can only be said that Jiang Xinxuan thought too much about it.

When two people are dating, what’s wrong with meeting each other’s parents?

It’s not like meeting the parents means you have to get married or anything.

In Su Mu’s view, it really wasn’t anything particularly significant.

There weren’t many red lights along the way, nor was there any traffic congestion, so Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan chatted about some light-hearted topics until they reached their destination.

Since cars aren’t allowed on the pedestrian street,

Su Mu parked the car at the parking lot at the entrance to the pedestrian street.

Well, as the name suggests, a pedestrian street is definitely a place you walk into.

"Su Mu, it seems like the firework dinner hasn’t started yet."

After getting out of the car and walking into the pedestrian street, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t see the sky filled with fireworks.

She didn’t even catch a glimpse of fireworks.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu wouldn’t lie to her, so the only explanation was that Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu had arrived early, and the firework dinner hadn’t started yet.

"It seems like it’s supposed to start at 9:30 PM, we indeed came a bit early,"

Su Mu checked his watch, and it was just past 8:30 PM.

There was still about an hour to go until the firework dinner.

Su Mu hadn’t brought his girlfriend over without planning properly.

Su Mu knew his girlfriend was a little foodie.

He had brought Xuanxuan early, of course, to satisfy the foodie in her.

"Shall we go and eat something tasty first?"

Su Mu knew that Xuanxuan would surely not refuse his suggestion.

And sure enough,

"Yeah, sure, since we have time, let’s go find some snacks first."

Jiang Xinxuan clarified that she wasn’t hungry; it was purely the nature of a foodie.

Having mentioned going to eat something tasty, Jiang Xinxuan naturally grabbed Su Mu’s hand and headed over to the food stalls on either side of the pedestrian street.

"Slow down, be careful not to trip."

The pedestrian street usually has a substantial number of people at night.

Due to tonight’s firework dinner, there were even more people.

Because of Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan’s outstanding appearance, they naturally became the focus of public attention.

One could say that the flow of people around Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan was much greater than in other areas.

But everyone also had a certain level of decency and did not get too close to the handsome guy and beautiful girl.

Instead, they gave the attractive couple a certain amount of space.

This actually provided Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan with a bit more freedom to move around.

"It’s okay, I didn’t wear high heels today."

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t slow down; instead, she turned her head and smiled at Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that Su Mu’s concern was due to her walking in high heels the day before, which is why he asked her to slow down.

She specifically explained this, feeling that she was not like the delicate Lin Daiyu from traditional stories.

Walking a few quick steps really wasn’t a problem for her.

Watching his girlfriend show off her true foodie nature, Su Mu simply smiled indulgently.

Seeing all the tasty food, Xuanxuan’s adorable side was fully on display.

This was a far cry from Jiang Xinxuan’s usual composed and superior demeanor as the top student and school beauty at school.

It can be said that people who were not familiar with Jiang Xinxuan might think they were looking at two different people.
