Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 298 - 297: Strangle in the Cradle

Feeling the tiny force from Xuanxuan’s arm, Su Mu only responded with an indulgent smile.

Sometimes Xuanxuan could still be pretty childish.

Just like Jiang Xinxuan’s little action right now, which was completely at odds with her lofty School Beauty and top student image from school.

Seeing that Su Mu still hadn’t replied, Jiang Xinxuan became somewhat anxious and shook Su Mu’s arm.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that it really wasn’t a good habit for Su Mu to keep everyone’s appetite hanging like this.

"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore."

Knowing that his girlfriend was genuinely anxious, Su Mu decided not to keep the secret any longer.

"My mom did indeed say that the wedding dress designed by Madam Wang Weiwei hanging in that cabinet was not for sale."

Su Mu’s mom had indeed said this over the phone, and Su Mu stressed that he didn’t intend to play with everyone’s feelings.

However, Su Mu did keep a small secret and only revealed part of what his mom had said.

Bai Wanting seemed to catch a hint of something too, and reached out to pull Allen back, who was about to step forward to interrogate further because of Su Mu’s words.

That’s the profound depth of domestic culture.

Suppress first, followed by encouragement!

Bai Wanting knew that Allen didn’t even have the ticket to this kind of game, let alone comprehend the hidden meanings in Su Mu’s words.

Without any rush to urge him on, Bai Wanting did the same as Jiang Xinxuan and looped her arm through her fiancé’s.

Who couldn’t show off their affection?

She couldn’t let herself fall behind her younger cousin, could she?

Of course, Bai Wanting wasn’t thinking about competing with Su Mu and Xuanxuan in flaunting their affection.

Bai Wanting felt that by holding Allen’s arm this way, she could more promptly nip any inappropriate remarks from him in the bud.

"However, my mom also said that although the wedding dress in the cabinet isn’t for sale, she would gift the Wang Weiwei-designed wedding dress to today’s prospective bride and groom."

Upon hearing Su Mu’s words, everyone’s expressions became even more splendid.

Jiang Xinxuan was the picture of bliss, feeling that she was highly favored by her future mother-in-law.

Did Aunt Bai’s attitude not indicate that her future with Su Mu would be smooth?

Now that the wedding dress issue for her cousin had been resolved, Jiang Xinxuan began to think about her and Su Mu’s future big matters.

Maybe it was the stimulation from Bai Wanting’s marriage, coupled with the fact that Bai Wanting had also mentioned Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu’s lifelong event, whether intentionally or not, earlier on.

Jiang Xinxuan’s mind was now fully focused on the significant matters of her own life.

Bai Wanting and Allen exchanged glances. A gift for themselves?

Was Su Mu’s mother being too generous?

6.66 million?

Just giving it away to someone?

She and Director Bai weren’t even acquainted, for goodness’ sake!

Bai Wanting and Allen had only met Su Mu less than a day ago; to speak of any significant relationship between them was out of the question.

Not to mention a matter involving several millions at the drop of a hat.

Though 6.66 million wasn’t a big deal in Bai Wanting and Allen’s eyes.

But now that someone was directly gifting you something so valuable, it had a different significance.

Bai Wanting knew that there was only one explanation: Xuanxuan.

Bai Wanting guessed that Su Mu’s mother must have either met or heard about Xuanxuan.

In short, Su Mu’s mother must be extremely satisfied with Xuanxuan.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a generous gesture.

This directly gave Xuanxuan an enormous amount of face.

Wang Yizhong and Zhou Nalin understood instantly upon hearing the young master’s words that Miss Jiang was greatly favored by Director Bai.

In their hearts, they made a note to themselves that they must not take Miss Jiang lightly in the future.

Although Luo Bin’s presence wasn’t significant at the moment, he was extremely uneasy inside.

If Director Bai was willing to give the wedding dress from the cabinet to Bai Wanting, what was the meaning of his previous obstruction?

After all, this was the young master’s own family business, and by relationship, Bai Wanting could be considered half a relative to the young master.

Acting like a host in front of someone else’s family and rejecting Bai Wanting—what was that all about?

Luo Bin felt like he was a complete clown, utterly ridiculous.

The ones with the lowest positions here were those few staff members.

Originally, these staff members were waiting to see Jiang Xinxuan become a laughingstock.

If Director Bai hadn’t taken a liking to Miss Jiang, the staff members felt they could find some solace in their own hearts.

Rich family dramas, palace scheming shows—as young people, everyone had watched plenty of them.

In this scenario, Director Bai’s role was that of the rich family’s matriarch, similar to an empress in period dramas.

As for the handsome guy, he naturally fit the image of a super-rich second generation, akin to a Crown Prince in period dramas.

If the rich family’s matriarch, or the empress, disapproved of the woman her son had chosen,

Then no matter how beautiful the woman, marrying into the rich family would be rather difficult.

Of course, in modern society where marriage isn’t dictated by parental approval and matchmakers, the hopes are somewhat greater.

If this had been in ancient times, it would have basically been impossible.

However, even if the beautiful woman could marry into the Su Family, the staff members initially thought that Miss Jiang’s life would not be easy if Director Bai didn’t like her.

In the beginning, the staff members had already mocked Jiang Xinxuan in their hearts.

They thought that Jiang Xinxuan, despite attracting the Crown Prince with her beauty, could not win Director Bai’s approval? ƒreewebɳovel.com

Now, hearing the Crown Prince’s words, these staff members were completely unsettled.

Director Bai’s grand gesture of gifting the six-hundred-and-sixty-six-thousand-dollar wedding dress to Miss Bai?

Without asking further, the staff members understood that Director Bai’s move was definitely related to Miss Jiang.

It seemed that Director Bai was indeed very pleased with Miss Jiang.

The five individuals exchanged stealthy glances.

So, the great beauty had already obtained Director Bai’s approval early on, and there they were, sour for what?

Jiang Xinxuan’s mind was overflowing with the happiness of being accepted by Su Mu’s mother, leaving her no attention to spare for the thoughts of others.

Su Mu, having free time, observed all the expressions of those present.

He smiled silently, thinking, was all this fuss really necessary over just a wedding dress?

"Mu, I’m very thankful Aunt is willing to part with the wedding dress from the cabinet for me,"

"But I can’t accept such a valuable gift without merit; I must pay what is due for the dress."

Allen regained his composure after the initial excitement and immediately made his stance clear.

And, to be honest, Allen’s proficiency in Mandarin was quite commendable.

His use of terms like "part with" and "accepting no reward without merit" was flawless.

Allen was genuinely thankful for Su Mu’s mother’s agreement to part with the wedding dress.

However, he felt that since he and Su Mu had just met and had not had much to do with one another,

Accepting such an expensive gift so suddenly seemed truly inappropriate to him.

For Allen, being able to purchase this wedding dress for Bai Wanting was already the greatest luck he could ask for,

Thus, he couldn’t possibly accept Su Mu’s offer to gift the wedding dress.
