Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?
Chapter 159 - 158: A New Height

Chapter 159: Chapter 158: A New Height

"Su Mu, you sing even better than those pop stars; if you went into the entertainment industry, all those so-called kings would have to step aside,"

Before He Qiya could say anything, the people around them once again gathered close.

This was a golden opportunity to chat with the young master of the Su Family Group, and naturally, no one wanted to pass it up.

Besides, there wasn’t a trace of flattery in this.

What everyone was saying was more genuine than real gold.

Of course, their tone of voice was very confident too, so there was no need to worry that Su Mu would misunderstand them as just trying to butter him up.

"Yes, yes, Su Mu, with your singing skills, you really could make it big in the entertainment industry. You’d be an instant hit,"

"What are you talking about? Su Mu is the sole heir of the Su Family Group. How could he possibly consider a career in entertainment?"

"Exactly, what status does Su Mu hold, how could he be interested in being some pop star?"

...

The main character hadn’t said anything, yet the crowd around him had split into two camps.

One side supported Su Mu going into the entertainment industry.

The other believed that it was beneath Su Mu’s status to do so.

For some reason, even though Su Mu hadn’t expressed his stance, everyone began to debate it.

It was as if they wouldn’t rest until they came to a conclusion.

"I was just singing casually, singing is not my hobby."

Su Mu’s casual remark successfully quieted the two squabbling parties.

Singing casually?

Singing is not Su Mu’s hobby?

Everyone felt a deep sting.

To sing so well without even trying?

How could that sit well with those who loved singing so much they had even attended special classes for it since childhood?

To do something so perfectly without it even being a hobby.

Once again, everyone’s perception of Su Mu reached a new height.

He Qiya moved her lips, but she didn’t say a word.

Even Su Mu’s casual singing was better than her own.

He Qiya realized that she really had nothing to show off in front of Su Mu.

"Today is a private dinner party, so everyone can be more relaxed and have fun,"

The subtext of Su Mu’s words was that if everyone focused on having a good time, they would stop worrying about him.

As people who had been mixing in these circles since childhood, everyone thoroughly understood the meaning behind Su Mu’s words.

Knowing that Su Mu didn’t want to be surrounded, the crowd dispersed very sensibly.

Su Mu sat there, watching the group start to play around noisily, and felt the world suddenly become much quieter.

"Su Mu, I..."

He Qiya sat down next to Su Mu, not sure what to say.

Regarding the car crash incident, He Qiya didn’t know whether Su Mu had forgiven her.

Moreover, He Qiya could sense that Su Mu probably had no special feelings for her.

But the fact that Su Mu had invited her to sing together a moment ago gave He Qiya a glimmer of hope.

"Look how happy everyone is. It’s not good to be so tense alone, wouldn’t it be nice to join in the fun?"

Su Mu was entirely following his mother’s wishes, treating He Qiya like a younger sister and giving her guidance.

"Okay,"

He Qiya didn’t argue, and obediently sat there.

Watching Su Mu watch the group playing around, He Qiya also shifted her gaze there.

The dinner party was a resounding success.

Everyone had a great time.

Of course, the happiest was Huang Yuqin.

Seeing her daughter’s transformation, Huang Yuqin’s smile never left her face.

"Xiao Mu, your uncle and I will be heading back first. When you have time, come and visit Aunt Qin’s house, okay?"

Huang Yuqin enthusiastically greeted Su Mu without any airs of a senior.

"Okay, Aunt Qin,"

Su Mu agreed verbally.

Since she had extended such a warm invitation, it was only polite to accept it.

After all, she was mom’s good friend.

As for whether he would go in the future, that depended on Su Mu’s mood.

Anyway, Su Mu now felt that the chances of him visiting Aunt Qin’s home in the future weren’t many.

Unless it was like last time when He Qiya had her birthday and invited Su Mu’s whole family to attend.

Of course, that also depended on whether Su Mu was in Huadong City at the time.

If Su Mu were attending university in Wudong City by then, he admitted that he could only disappoint Aunt Qin.

Most of the guests had already said their goodbyes.

Su Mu went home with his grandfather in the same car back to the castle.

Going upstairs, back to his own room, naturally, Su Mu was going to take a lovely hot bath.

When everything was done, Su Mu checked the time, it was almost eleven at night.

He checked his phone, no missed calls or anything like that.

It seemed that Jiang Xinxuan’s uncle’s affairs must be quite thorny.

Since it was already late, Su Mu didn’t want to disturb his girlfriend.

He figured whatever it was, he could ask tomorrow.

Plus, regarding Jiang Xinxuan’s uncle’s issues, Su Mu felt he was an outsider, and might not be able to be of much help anyway.

He set his phone to silent mode and snuggled into the embrace of his soft, large bed.

A dreamless night

The next morning, Su Mu was awakened by the endearing alarm.

With a turn, Su Mu didn’t indulge in lingering in bed due to staying up late the night before.

For someone with Champion Physical Fitness like Su Mu, last night’s activities were child’s play.

After a quick wash and brush up, Su Mu changed into his sports gear.

Heading downstairs to the dining room, Elder Su was already there, reading the newspaper.

Seeing his grandfather up early despite staying up late the night before as well, Su Mu genuinely thought his grandfather had impressive vitality.

To be at that age and to still have such good health was truly not something an average elderly person could achieve.

"Grandfather, good morning,"

"Morning,"

Elder Su had expected his grandson to get up later today.

Aren’t all young people nowadays accustomed to sleeping in?

Elder Su had specifically instructed Ah Fook to let the kitchen staff know breakfast could be served later.

Seeing Su Mu coming downstairs at his usual time, and looking spirited as always,

Elder Su nodded his head in approval.

"Ah Fook, have them prepare breakfast."

"Yes, Master."

The grandfather and grandson chatted casually for a while, and then Ah Fook led the servants to serve breakfast.

After breakfast and a short rest, the grandfather and grandson went to the backyard to do their daily Tai Chi exercise.

When all was finished, Su Mu glanced at his wristwatch.

He was fifteen minutes later than usual.

It was the time he and his grandfather had waited for breakfast.

Today, Su Mu didn’t have anything important to do, so time wasn’t an issue.

The system had informed him that the approval for the number five subway in Huadong City would be issued today.

The system didn’t specify the exact time, though.

So Su Mu had no choice but to wait.

Until midnight, it would still be considered today.

Therefore, Su Mu decided not to go out today and just wait at home for this significant piece of news.

"Xiao Mu, is there something going on today?"

Old Master Su could tell there was something different about Su Mu.

Usually, at this time, Xiao Mu would accompany him in practicing Tai Chi and then prepare to leave the house.

Why was it so unusual today?

Old Master Su remembered the last time Xiao Mu behaved out of the ordinary was while waiting for his driver’s license.

So, what was Xiao Mu waiting for today?
