Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?
Chapter 180 - 179: A Glorious and Arduous Task

Chapter 180: Chapter 179: A Glorious and Arduous Task

The only possible problem that could have existed was resolved, and Su Mu put his mind at ease.

Flipping open New Concept English, Su Mu randomly turned to a page and started reading.

It has to be said, acquiring Champion English Speaking Skill really made a difference.

For some English words, Su Mu felt that he was pronouncing them just like before.

But the effect of his pronunciation was now very different.

Su Mu discovered that his accent now had no difference from the standard British pronunciation.

It was quite authentic.

"I wonder if Xuanxuan’s cousin’s boyfriend has an authentic English accent?"

Now that his own problem was resolved, Su Mu found the leisure to be concerned about others.

Of course, Su Mu’s concern was not unfounded.

After all, Canadians learn Canadian English, which is neither American English nor British English.

Although Canadian English is very similar to American English, there are still some minor differences.

And there are some differences between American and British English, especially in spoken language.

But if everyone is fairly professional, the problem shouldn’t be too big.

Su Mu worried that if the Canadian guy’s English was not up to par, wouldn’t his recent check-in have been wasted?

Wouldn’t communication still be a barrier?

However, worrying now was pointless, and Su Mu thought the Canadian guy wouldn’t dare come to China without any preparation, right?

Compared to Chinese, Su Mu felt that Xuanxuan’s cousin’s boyfriend should have better English.

Putting away New Concept English, Su Mu picked up a book about finance, ready to charge himself with knowledge.

Su Mu didn’t want to rely solely on university courses to learn these things.

Besides, university teaching isn’t necessarily comprehensive, and Su Mu wanted to enrich his knowledge base by reading a wide variety of books.

That’s how a top student is made.

Of course, since Su Mu’s status had been made public, he found himself with more things to handle and confessed to having slacked off a lot lately.

He hardly had time to read properly anymore.

Opening the book, Su Mu plunged into the sea of knowledge.

Su Mu, focused on reading, managed to ignore the outside world completely.

During that time, his phone’s WeChat notification sounded a few times, but Su Mu said he hadn’t noticed them at all.

Time passed, and it was a knock on the door that brought Su Mu back to the real world.

"Knock knock"

"Knock knock"

It must have been knocked several times already.

When Su Mu noticed, the knocking was still going on, always two knocks at a time.

Since Su Mu didn’t respond, the knocking would pause for a few seconds, then knock twice again.

The sound wasn’t very loud, but loud enough to ensure that the person in the room could hear it.

Of course, that did not include when Su Mu had been immersed in his book.

Otherwise, the person outside wouldn’t have knocked so many times without getting a response.

"Come in," Su Mu put down the book, looked up, and found his neck was stiff.

Looking at his wristwatch, no wonder, it was already dinner time.

"Young master, dinner is ready,"

"Elder Su is waiting for you in the dining room,"

The one who entered was Ah Fook.

Because Su Mu had stayed in his room since coming back that afternoon, Ah Fook knew the young master would definitely be dining at home.

Yet, as dinner time approached, Su Mu hadn’t come out of his room.

That’s why Elder Su had sent Ah Fook upstairs to check.

Elder Su didn’t know if his grandson was busy or had lost track of time.

However, Elder Su felt the latter was more likely.

After all, Xiao Mu was usually quite idle at home, and if he had business, he would be out and about, right?

"Alright, I’ll come down right away."

Closing his book, Su Mu returned it to the bookshelf.

As he hadn’t noticed that his WeChat on his phone had already pinged several times, Su Mu naturally didn’t think to check his phone first.

Getting up, Su Mu walked out of his room.

"Grandpa."

Seeing his grandfather waiting for him in the living room, Su Mu approached and called out to him.

"As soon as you get home, you hide away in your room; what are you busy with?"

Ever since Su Mu moved back to the castle, it was rare for Elder Su to see his grandson spending so much time in his room.

Out of curiosity, the old master casually asked.

"Grandpa, I was reading and lost track of time."

Su Mu was honest and directly answered Elder Su.

"So engrossed that you forgot to eat and sleep? Not bad."

Elder Su knew his grandson’s grades.

Su Mu had always been at the top of his class.

This time, in the college entrance examination, Su Mu even achieved third place overall and became the science top-scorer.

In theory, with such excellent college entrance exam results, even an average family would have had a good celebration.

But because of the Su family’s status, Elder Su didn’t want his grandson to be so high-profile.

With the land purchasing incident, Xiao Mu had already become a topic of lively discussion among the social elite.

If a celebration banquet were to be held, Elder Su felt that Xiao Mu was still young.

Being too sharp might not be good.

Fortunately, Su Mu didn’t care about these things and had not even mentioned wanting to celebrate.

Elder Su was very satisfied with his grandson’s composure.

Elder Su thought his grandson had the makings of a great leader and was sure he would achieve great success in the future.

"Grandpa, it’s not as exaggerated as you say, I just wasn’t paying attention to the time is all."

In response to his grandfather’s praise, Su Mu felt somewhat undeserving.

Compared to his previous studies, Su Mu found that he had indeed relaxed a lot.

"Sir, Young Master, dinner is ready."

Seeing Su Mu come downstairs, Ah Fook had the servants set up dinner.

Noticing that the old master and Su Mu were still not moving towards the dining room, Ah Fook came over to inform them.

"Grandpa, shall we eat?"

For dinner with his grandfather, Su Mu thought it was more casual to just suggest eating.

"Alright."

Old Master Su walked in front, and Su Mu didn’t even need to offer an arm for support.

Su Mu knew how robust his grandfather was.

After dinner, Elder Su invited Su Mu to play several games of chess.

As time passed and it was already after nine o’clock, Elder Su finally put down the chess pieces with satisfaction.

"Xiao Mu, you are improving very quickly,"

"It won’t be long before this old man won’t be able to beat you."

Ah Fook saw that Elder Su and Su Mu had finished their chess game and came over to put away the chess set.

Elder Su stood up and complimented Su Mu.

Su Mu’s skill in chess had indeed improved remarkably fast.

In playing chess with his grandfather, Su Mu truly relied on his own efforts.

He did not use any assistance from the system.

Su Mu didn’t even think about using the system to "sign in" or anything like that.

After all, he was just accompanying his grandfather in playing chess to pass the time.

It wasn’t for any competition where winning or losing mattered.

Su Mu believed his responsibility was simply to accompany his grandfather out of filial piety.

With his parents busy managing company affairs and having no time to accompany Elder Su,

the honorable and challenging task naturally fell on Su Mu’s shoulders.
