Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Spoke Three Words

"Uncle Li, I can’t help with this favor."

"First of all, I’m not familiar with Li Feiyu, let alone have any feelings towards her."

"Furthermore, I have no thoughts about Li Feiyu whatsoever, not in the past, nor will there be any in the future."

"Please, convey to her that she should not harbor any unrealistic ideas about me; we are not from the same world."

Su Mu’s rejection was loud and clear.

If he was wishy-washy at this time, it would only cause trouble for himself later on.

As for a woman like Li Feiyu, Su Mu thought it best never to have any interactions with her at all.

"Xiao Mu..."

Li Yaoming wanted to say something else, but he couldn’t find the words.

After all, Feiyu and Su Mu had only met once.

Especially after Elder Li recounted Feiyu’s behavior at the golf course that day.

The Li Family too knew that Li Feiyu had gone too far.

In the eyes of the Su Family, Li Feiyu was probably no better than an uncultured wild girl.

The moment Li Yaoming set eyes on Su Mu, he was very pleased with him.

Not to mention Su Mu’s identity as the sole heir to the Su Corporation.

Li Yaoming knew that if Feiyu could really be paired with Su Mu, he would willingly offer a dowry even if it meant losing out financially.

Unfortunately, Su Mu simply wasn’t interested in Li Feiyu at all.

Matters of the heart can’t be forced.

Let alone imposing such wants on someone of Su Mu’s stature.

Deep regret was in Li Yaoming’s heart, and he also felt some remorse.

If he had known that his indulgence would shape Feiyu’s personality this way,

he would have rather been stricter from the beginning.

At least then, perhaps the Su Family might have seen Feiyu in a different light.

Weren’t the two families’ patriarchs old acquaintances, after all?

Su Mu did not respond, although he knew Li Yaoming still wanted to persuade him.

Su Mu felt he had made himself clear enough.

Li Yaoming shouldn’t be as unreasonable as Li Feiyu, right?

Li Yaoming glanced at Su Mu, who stood there with a calm expression,

and felt that the aura emanating from him didn’t quite match his age.

How should he say it?

A bit too composed, and too resolute.

With a deep sigh, Li Yaoming knew he wouldn’t achieve his goal today.

"Xiao Mu, Uncle Li was presumptuous."

"Feiyu was at fault last time; Uncle Li apologizes to you on her behalf."

"I understand your point of view, rest assured, I will discipline Feiyu properly and ensure she doesn’t bother you."

Li Yaoming knew that Li Feiyu’s feelings were unrequited, and that Su Mu didn’t even want to lay eyes on her.

Although saddened for his daughter, Li Yaoming was, after all, a man of stature.

Knowing it was his daughter’s fault, Li Yaoming did not vent his anger on Su Mu.

Even if he wanted to, Li Yaoming wouldn’t dare take his frustration out on Su Mu.

The strength of the Su Family was evident.

If it weren’t for Elder Li and Elder Su’s friendship, Li Yaoming knew that Su Mu might not even deign to deal with him.

"Xiao Mu, Uncle Li will be leaving now."

Li Yaoming looked at Elder Su, who was surrounded by a crowd of people in the distance,

and gave up on the idea of going forward to greet him.

When Li Yaoming mentioned Feiyu to Elder Su earlier, it was clear that Elder Su was also displeased.

Li Yaoming knew that Li Feiyu was someone who simply could not catch Elder Su’s eye.

"Xiao Mu, I won’t disturb the Elder; please pass on my regards to your grandfather."

"Okay, take care, Uncle Li."

As for Li Yaoming’s later behavior, Su Mu was quite satisfied.

After all, once he made his stance clear, Li Yaoming didn’t insist any further, did he?

Knowing that Li Yaoming felt somewhat embarrassed, he decided to leave early.

Su Mu didn’t mind it, just watching as Li Yaoming walked out of the banquet hall.

"Su Mu, you seem to be quite popular with the ladies."

An icy voice spoke up, and without even turning around, Su Mu knew it was He Qiya.

The nickname "Ice Mountain Beauty" wasn’t given for nothing.

It wasn’t just He Qiya’s face that gave off a frosty impression.

Even the tone of He Qiya’s speech was icy cold.

Su Mu genuinely wondered if He Qiya was raised on ice cubes.

Because of what happened on the mountain road, Su Mu didn’t really want to deal with He Qiya.

Although, He Qiya’s words later on left Su Mu somewhat baffled.

But regarding the woman’s unpredictable behavior, Su Mu felt it was better to keep a distance.

However, tonight’s banquet was organized by the Su Family.

As the host, Su Mu couldn’t just treat He Qiya as if she were thin air.

Turning around, Su Mu glanced at He Qiya.

She was dressed quite beautifully, but she seemed even colder than when Su Mu had first met her.

Su Mu thought that if he put a basin of water on He Qiya’s head now, it might just freeze into a block of ice.

Su Mu, with his hands in his pockets, didn’t engage with He Qiya on this tiresome topic.

Whether he was popular with women or not seemed irrelevant to He Qiya, didn’t it?

Even if Jiang Xinxuan were here, Su Mu didn’t feel the need to explain anything.

"Don’t you want to say something?"

He Qiya had initially hoped that Su Mu would greet her and exchange a few words.

After all, she was a guest today, and Su Mu was the host.

But seeing Su Mu’s detached glance, He Qiya realized her wish was fanciful.

Having no other option, He Qiya had to start the conversation once again.

He Qiya thought she had made her intentions very clear during their previous encounter on the mountain road.

Observing Su Mu now, He Qiya felt she may have made things worse.

"Do I need to explain anything to you?"

Su Mu’s lips curled slightly, wondering if He Qiya wasn’t overestimating herself.

What was their relationship to each other?

Did he need to report everything to her?

"Su Mu, that’s not what I meant."

He Qiya bit her lip, knowing she couldn’t afford to strain their relationship further today.

Otherwise, she reckoned that Su Mu might avoid her completely whenever they met in the future.

Not to mention, if tonight’s banquet wasn’t hosted by the Su Family, Su Mu indeed would have liked to turn around and leave.

He hadn’t quite figured out the odd words He Qiya had said last time.

He figured He Qiya was just a peculiar person.

Su Mu thought it was best to keep his distance from emotionally unstable women.

The heart of a woman is inscrutable indeed.

Su Mu had no desire to waste time fishing for needles at the bottom of the ocean.

Especially a needle that had nothing to do with him!

"I was just making a joke earlier."

"Your sense of humor seems a bit low."

Without giving He Qiya any face, Su Mu bluntly shut her down.

"Su Mu, I was indeed at fault regarding the matter last time, and I apologize to you sincerely."

Unexpectedly, He Qiya didn’t get angry or turn around and leave because of Su Mu’s words.

She stepped forward, looked at Su Mu with a serious face, and softly uttered three words.

"I’m sorry."

Su Mu was stunned; so He Qiya could actually say ’sorry’?

Recalling the scene when He Qiya apologized last time.

Su Mu thought He Qiya’s change was quite significant.
