Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 154: Chapter 153 Melting Ice?

Su Mu didn’t show any reaction to He Qiya’s apology.

Given He Qiya’s behavior last time, Su Mu felt that the apology was warranted.

As Su Mu gave no response, He Qiya had no choice but to continue speaking.

He Qiya had attended the dinner that evening with the intention of clarifying things with Su Mu.

Otherwise, He Qiya really couldn’t find another opportunity to talk to Su Mu.

"Su Mu, I was too impulsive last time, I’m sorry, I almost caused an accident."

"But I did it because I knew about your driving skills."

He Qiya was somewhat nervous, her hands unconsciously twisting together.

When Su Mu heard what He Qiya said, he felt an urge to retort.

Does my good driving skill serve as an excuse for your reckless driving?

In that situation, if it weren’t for Su Mu’s good habit of not getting distracted while driving,

even the best driving skills would probably have led to a direct collision.

However, Su Mu didn’t voice his thoughts.

No matter what, today was a good day for the Su Family Corporation.

And since the incident was in the past, there was no point in arguing with He Qiya about it anymore.

"Su Mu, I really regard you as a friend, that’s why I was so impulsive."

Seeing that her apology was not effective and that Su Mu was still unwilling to talk to her,

He Qiya had no choice but to keep talking.

"Su Mu, I won’t be that impulsive in the future. Can you, can you still take me driving with you?"

He Qiya appeared unexpectedly cautious, which surprised Su Mu.

Su Mu truly hadn’t anticipated this side of He Qiya.

Considering his mother’s relationship with Aunt Qin, and the likelihood that his own driving practice wouldn’t be frequent,

And considering that he was going to college in two months,

it was even less likely that he would encounter He Qiya again.

"Okay, if we meet, we can drive together."

Su Mu didn’t give a firm reply but casually agreed.

Yet Su Mu didn’t promise to call He Qiya when he planned to drive,

just said if they met, they could practice driving together.

Su Mu felt that unless He Qiya intentionally waited for him,

the chances of them meeting wouldn’t be very high.

"All right, then it’s settled," He Qiya said, apparently not noticing Su Mu’s evasiveness.

As if she had obtained Su Mu’s permission, He Qiya smiled happily.

"As you wish, I’ve got something to discuss with my grandfather."

It seemed like He Qiya didn’t have any pressing matters,

so Su Mu found an excuse to leave.

"Okay."

He Qiya was very cooperative, simply smiling and watching Su Mu.

For a moment, Su Mu had a strange illusion.

Had the ice around He Qiya melted?

Shaking his head inwardly, Su Mu thought it must have been his imagination.

If the Ice Mountain Beauty had melted, wouldn’t that turn her into a pool of water?

As Su Mu approached Elder Su, he overheard a few people surrounding him and discussing Su Mu’s affairs.

"Elder Su, the young master of the Su Family really splurges."

"I just found out about this news, the young master spent a whole nine hundred million in cash to buy a piece of land."

"Yes, yes, I was also shocked when I first heard the news."

"At first, I thought the Su Family Corporation was making a big move. I was even thinking about getting a share of the spoils."

"Later on, I realized that this was just something the young master bought for fun."

Ah Fook must have reported it to Elder Su already.

Elder Su showed not a trace of surprise and remained utterly composed.

As these people had said, even if Xiao Mu spent nine billion to buy a plot of land just for fun, it was nothing much for the Su Family.

Moreover, Elder Su knew his grandson very well.

Xiao Mu wouldn’t be someone to act on a whim.

Elder Su estimated that the kid had spotted another business opportunity.

With profound experience, Elder Su naturally wouldn’t say more when things were still unclear.

"Children have their own ideas, and as long as they aren’t going too far, we won’t interfere too much," he said.

His words made everyone else smartly shut their mouths.

Indeed, the Su Family was wealthy.

What’s wrong with giving nine billion to the grandson to play with?

If they themselves weren’t heartbroken over it, everyone else felt somewhat embarrassed for their unnecessary worries.

This only highlighted the gap in power between themselves and the Su Family.

"What the Old Master said is correct, the real estate market is booming after all. No matter what, it won’t be a loss," someone commented.

"Right, right, right, the young master investing in land can’t lose much, unlike Old Wu’s son who ventured into the stock market and lost ten million in a flash."

"That’s right, young people should avoid playing with stocks, but trying other things is still acceptable."

Su Mu raised an eyebrow. Why couldn’t young people play with stocks?

Hadn’t he just earned thirty million in the stock market?

But Su Mu naturally wouldn’t disclose this.

Why should he tell these outsiders about his business?

Elder Su probably thought of Su Mu’s achievements in the stock market too and smiled silently.

Looking down on young people?

His grandson had just made a big profit on the stock market.

"Grandfather,"

Su Mu had already approached and called out to Elder Su.

It was to spare himself from more of their discussions.

"The young master has arrived."

"Young Master, please take a seat."

Indeed,

Upon hearing Su Mu’s voice, those who had been planning to chat more with Elder Su sensibly stood up.

"Old Master, we won’t disturb you any longer," they said.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed as if caught speaking behind someone’s back, they greeted and left.

"Xiao Mu, did you see something special about that piece of land?"

Su Mu had gone on a trip the day after purchasing the land.

Originally, Elder Su hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Thus, he hadn’t thought to ask when Su Mu returned yesterday.

It was only after those few people brought it up that Elder Su thought about asking his grandson.

The Old Master always felt that his grandson was very measured in his actions, not like someone without a purpose.

"Grandfather, it’s a secret. You will know tomorrow," Su Mu replied.

If Elder Su had asked at home, Su Mu would have shared the news with him, as he did with his father.

But now they were in the banquet hall at the Kaiman Hotel.

Though only Elder Su and Su Mu themselves were sitting there,

with people coming and going, it was hard to ensure their conversation wouldn’t be overheard.

Su Mu could clearly sense that many eyes were watching him.

Tomorrow, the application for the No. 5 subway line in Huadong City would be approved.

And importantly, the No. 5 subway was to be built right next to the plot that Su Mu had bought.

It meant that Su Mu had acquired the most central parcel of land around the subway.

At the time, Su Mu had considered that he couldn’t possibly take all the vacant land by himself, so he deliberately chose the central parcel.

That way, whoever wanted to develop near the No. 5 subway,

the land in Su Mu’s hands would become prime real estate.
