Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 209: Chapter 208: Doesn’t Look Simple

"Mom, I just don’t want to disturb your work,"

"To even get an appointment with the Su Family Group’s Director Bai, one needs to book it. I want to visit you more often, but you might not have free time, right?"

While chuckling, Su Mu walked into the office.

"You, always finding excuses, it’s just that you’re too busy every day."

Bai Xiuping walked over to the couch and gestured for Su Mu to sit down with her.

"You little rascal, how did you manage to provoke that girl from the Li Family?"

It was the first time Bai Xiuping had ever met Li Feiyu.

Bai Xiuping wasn’t particularly busy today, with only one meeting scheduled for the afternoon.

She had planned to head back to the castle early to have a nice dinner with Xiao Mu.

Just after returning from the meeting room and before she had a chance to reach out to her son, Bai Xiuping was informed by her assistant that a girl named Li Feiyu was in the lobby on the first floor wanting to meet her.

Li Feiyu?

Bai Xiuping said to herself that she didn’t know such a girl.

And it was unusual for a girl to specifically ask to meet her.

Bai Xiuping had her assistant find out more information.

It wasn’t until Li Feiyu mentioned her grandfather’s name that Bai Xiuping got to know the girl’s identity.

Although she didn’t understand what made Li Feiyu seek her out.

But in light of the friendship between Elder Su and Elder Li, Bai Xiuping had her assistant bring Li Feiyu up.

And honestly, Li Feiyu was quite scheming, presenting herself as a demure lady of a distinguished family in front of Bai Xiuping.

"Aunt Bai."

Upon seeing Bai Xiuping, Li Feiyu immediately called out politely.

The girl’s obliging and sensible demeanor was starkly different from the usual arrogant and domineering Li Feiyu.

"Feiyu, right? Did you come to Huadong City by yourself?"

Bai Xiuping was aware of the Li Family in Guanghai City.

Moreover, although Elder Li and Elder Su’s friendship was very good.

The younger generations rarely interacted with each other.

It seemed that except for the celebration banquet on the day of the Su Family Group’s listing, where Elder Li’s son came uninvited to congratulate,

Bai Xiuping and Su Ruizhi really hadn’t had much interaction with the Li Family.

Therefore, Bai Xiuping was very puzzled about Li Feiyu’s sudden visit.

"Yes, Aunt Bai, I came to Huadong City by myself, my grandfather and my family don’t know."

After a pause, Li Feiyu seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, but she still said it.

"I sneaked out."

Without any concealment, Li Feiyu was actually quite honest.

In fact, Li Feiyu just wanted to make Bai Xiuping feel the sincerity of her visit to Su Mu.

Also, Li Feiyu had another motive for saying this.

Li Feiyu thought that telling Bai Xiuping she came to Huadong City alone,

Would mean the Su Family couldn’t possibly neglect a girl on her own, given her grandfather’s status.

Possibly, she might even be able to stay with the Su Family.

Li Feiyu felt that if she could really live with the Su Family, she could be close to Su Mu,

And if something happened between them,

Given the friendship between the elders, Su Mu would have to give her an explanation.

However, these were merely Li Feiyu’s own fantasies.

For Su Mu, even if Li Feiyu threw herself at him, he wouldn’t spare her a second glance,

Let alone anything happening.

It was nothing but a pipe dream for Li Feiyu.

Bai Xiuping also sensed that there was more to Li Feiyu’s words than she was letting on.

Glancing at the girl who appeared very well-behaved in front of her, Bai Xiuping felt that this girl was not as simple as she seemed.

"So, is there something you needed from me?"

Bai Xiuping’s impression of Li Feiyu suddenly diminished, and her tone grew much colder.

Li Feiyu wouldn’t seek her out without a good reason, and it definitely had something to do with the Su Family.

But Li Feiyu wasn’t getting to the point, and kept emphasizing that her family didn’t know she was there, and that she had come alone, in secret.

These words sounded rather suggestive.

It was as if Li Feiyu had some kind of unspeakable affair with the Su Family or, perhaps, with a certain person from the Su Family.

The Su Family’s members were very few.

Elder Su, Su Ruizhi, Bai Xiuping, Su Mu.

Bai Xiuping knew that among the four people in her family, if Li Feiyu wished to see someone, it would likely be her son.

However, since Li Feiyu herself wouldn’t say it, naturally Bai Xiuping wasn’t about to offer the girl an opening.

As Li Feiyu had come to the company under the guise of seeking her out, Bai Xiuping continued to inquire along that line of thought.

The saying goes, "Those not of the same family do not enter the same door."

Of the four members of the Su Family, three had now met Li Feiyu.

Yet the attitudes of these three were surprisingly uniform—they all disliked Li Feiyu.

Bai Xiuping wondered whether the Su Family’s judgment was too harsh or Li Feiyu was truly failing to endear herself to people.

In any case, Li Feiyu was not looked upon favorably by the Su Family.

"Aunt Bai, I came to Huadong City to find Su Mu," Li Feiyu said, not seeming to notice Bai Xiuping’s cool demeanor, biting her lip and speaking timidly.

That tone, that demeanor.

If Bai Xiuping didn’t know her son already had a girlfriend, and she was acquainted with her,

Bai Xiuping might have misunderstood that there was something between Li Feiyu and Xiao Mu.

Fortunately, Bai Xiuping had a good understanding of her son’s tastes.

And so, she was not misled by Li Feiyu’s implications.

"Looking for Xiao Mu? Are you two close?" Bai Xiuping asked with evident puzzlement.

Just as Li Feiyu was about to nod and admit her relationship with Su Mu was quite unusual,

Bai Xiuping casually added another comment.

"Xiao Mu should actually be a stranger to you; otherwise, you wouldn’t need to come to me but could have just contacted Xiao Mu directly."

The meaning behind Bai Xiuping’s words was crystal clear: you don’t even have my son’s phone number.

That could only mean you and Xiao Mu aren’t even friends, let alone close.

Since you’re not close, your running straight to the Su Corporation to find me, Li Feiyu,

after having just ambiguously insinuated those earlier remarks, really gives one pause to think about your intentions.

Li Feiyu wasn’t expecting Bai Xiuping to change her tone so swiftly.

She was suddenly at a loss for words.

Indeed, she and Su Mu were not close.

If they were close, as Bai Xiuping had suggested, she would have gone straight to him.

Why would she need to beat around the bush and come here instead?

But Li Feiyu’s skin was not as thin as most people’s.

Otherwise, after Su Mu had made it so clear, how could Li Feiyu have insisted on coming to find his mother?

And why would she insinuate a particularly unusual relationship with Su Mu in front of his mother?

Unfortunately, Bai Xiuping wasn’t born yesterday; how could she be so easily duped by a junior?
