Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Fear of Backfiring

What was even more terrifying was that He Qiya not only had no interest in the men she met on these arranged dates.

Huang Yuqin noticed that her daughter’s personality was becoming colder and colder.

Just when Huang Yuqin and He Yuguang were about to lose hope,

Su Mu appeared.

At He Qiya’s birthday party, Huang Yuqin noticed that her daughter took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Su Mu.

And they talked for almost half an hour.

Moreover, there was the fact that He Qiya and Su Mu went to play tennis together.

This made Huang Yuqin even more convinced that Su Mu was the person who could pull her daughter out of the darkness.

But Huang Yuqin had some understanding of Su Mu’s attitude towards He Qiya.

Su Mu was not interested in He Qiya.

However, this did not affect Huang Yuqin’s thoughts.

Because Huang Yuqin knew that her daughter had developed feelings for Su Mu.

Considering the Su Family’s background and the friendship between Huang Yuqin and Bai Xiuping,

Huang Yuqin felt that even if it meant swallowing her pride, she had to strive for her daughter’s happiness.

So, Huang Yuqin approached Bai Xiuping.

Hoping that Bai Xiuping, given their friendship, could persuade Su Mu to guide He Qiya accordingly.

Of course, Huang Yuqin did not disclose her intention of matchmaking He Qiya and Su Mu.

Because of Su Mu’s clear attitude, Huang Yuqin feared it might backfire.

Huang Yuqin’s proposal was to ask Su Mu to treat He Qiya as a younger sister and to look after her a little more.

Bai Xiuping also liked He Qiya very much.

Although she knew that Su Mu had a girlfriend, her good friend’s request was not excessive.

Besides, Yao Yao was still young, and Bai Xiuping thought it would be a pity if He Qiya continued on her current path.

Bai Xiuping agreed to Huang Yuqin’s request.

"Xiao Mu, come over, Mom wants to talk to you for a moment,"

Seeing that Su Mu showed no reaction, Bai Xiuping stood up and signaled for Su Mu to follow her to a corner of the banquet hall.

Bai Xiuping briefly explained He Qiya’s situation.

At the end, Bai Xiuping added,

"Xiao Mu, Mom is not putting you in a difficult position."

"Your Aunt Qin also said, just treat Yao Yao as a little sister."

"You don’t need to feel any psychological burden, just help Yao Yao interact with others more."

"So that Yao Yao can integrate into this social circle."

Listening to his mother’s introduction, Su Mu glanced at He Qiya, who was still sitting alone.

If that was the case, Su Mu felt that He Qiya indeed seemed quite pitiful.

A perfectly good girl, sent abroad directly by her family.

Perhaps in He Qiya’s heart, it felt almost the same as being abandoned by her parents?

"I understand,"

Su Mu nodded.

Having learned about He Qiya’s experiences, Su Mu felt that he didn’t find her so dislikeable anymore.

Perhaps He Qiya’s coldness was just a form of self-protection.

As a favor to his mother, Su Mu headed for the specially designated karaoke area.

"Young Master Su, are we singing? What song would you like? I’ll queue it up for you."

"Young Master Su, you should sit here, this spot has the clearest view of the screen."

"Young Master Su, would you like me to get you a drink or something?"

...

No introductions were necessary; everyone here already knew who Su Mu was.

Seeing Su Mu’s presence, everyone was naturally very enthusiastic.

Not to mention that the Su Family was hosting today, but even on other occasions, the prestige of the Su Family was unmatched.

Everyone’s attitude towards Su Mu was also very polite.

"Just call me Su Mu," he said.

They were all about the same age, and Su Mu felt it a bit odd to be addressed as Young Master Su by everyone.

Earlier, when he was with his grandfather, people had called him "young master."

Su Mu knew they did so out of respect for his grandfather’s status.

He didn’t say anything about it then.

Now, since it was time to have fun, being casual seemed better.

Declining someone’s kindness, Su Mu directly walked over to where He Qiya stood.

Due to He Qiya’s coldness, everyone had tried to approach her for a while but felt hopeless and eventually gave up.

As a result, the space next to He Qiya was left empty.

Su Mu chose a spot not too close yet not too far from He Qiya and sat down.

Feeling someone approach, He Qiya didn’t even lift her head.

Possibly because He Qiya was always immersed in her own world, coupled with the noise of the music, she hadn’t heard other people greeting Su Mu earlier.

Naturally, she didn’t realize that the person who had approached her was Su Mu.

"Su Mu, have a drink," offered a girl brazenly, calling out his name.

She felt that Su Mu had allowed others to call him by his name and it seemed less distant to call him that way.

Su Mu?

He Qiya was particularly sensitive to these two characters.

She looked up excitedly and was startled to find that it was indeed Su Mu himself sitting not far from her.

"Su Mu, you?"

He Qiya intended to ask why Su Mu was sitting there.

But then she thought, the evening banquet was hosted by the Su Family, and the Kaiman Hotel was also owned by Su Mu’s family.

Was there any place where Su Mu couldn’t sit?

So He Qiya just stared at Su Mu blankly.

He Qiya had never thought that Su Mu would take the initiative to sit next to her.

After all, his previous attitude was there, wasn’t it?

Moreover, He Qiya also knew that she had gone a bit too far with some things and it was normal for Su Mu to ignore her.

"It’s more fun with the young crowd around here," said Su Mu nonchalantly, catching He Qiya’s questioning gaze.

That served as an answer to the doubt in He Qiya’s mind.

"Oh," she responded, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Indeed, the place was full of young people and quite lively.

But it seemed to have nothing to do with He Qiya.

He Qiya remembered that she used to enjoy the lively atmosphere too.

Back then, she would often meet up with her friends to go shopping or catch a movie during the holidays.

He Qiya recalled that she had five girls to hang out with at school.

Because of their constant companionship at school, they were even called the "Five Girls Action Team."

Later on, under the coercive measures of her parents, He Qiya set off alone on a journey to study abroad.

There, as a girl on her own, she naturally faced a lot of covert hostility and exclusion from people of different skin colors.

It was then that He Qiya learned to be indifferent to everything around her.

It seemed like a voice in her head was telling her that as long as she ignored everything, she wouldn’t get hurt.

Sometimes, He Qiya would hide under the blankets at night, secretly shedding tears in the dark.

At that time, all she felt was that her parents were too cruel.

They had tossed her to the other side of the planet and didn’t care a bit.

Therefore, after returning, He Qiya wasn’t very keen on interacting with others.

It seemed like keeping her distance from people had become a habit for He Qiya.
