Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 227: Chapter 226: Disappointed with Someone’s Lack of Progress

The outcome of this bet had been sealed from the start.

Li Yaoming sighed inwardly, Feiyu was merely struggling in vain.

Moreover, after today, Li Feiyu would truly have no excuse to appear before Su Mu.

If Li Feiyu dared not to honor the bet, it wouldn’t just be her own problem.

It would be a question of the entire Li Family’s credibility.

Hadn’t Li Yaoming personally acted as the witness?

Li Yaoming already knew the result, and was now pondering how to report back to Elder Li.

Originally, Li Yaoming shared the same thought as Li Feiyu.

Elder Li valued Su Mu so much that if Li Feiyu won the bet and earned the opportunity to stay by Su Mu’s side,

Li Yaoming believed Elder Li would not blame him for the slight delay in Huadong City.

If Li Feiyu could win Su Mu’s favor, wouldn’t it be the outcome that Elder Li most wished to see?

Elder Li had thrown such a temper at Li Feiyu after returning to Guanghai City because of Su Mu’s attitude.

Elder Li knew Li Feiyu didn’t catch Su Mu’s eye.

Thus, the possibility of furthering relations between the Li and Su Families had vanished.

If it weren’t for Li Feiyu being the only granddaughter in the Li Family of a similar age to Su Mu,

Elder Li wouldn’t have thought of introducing Li Feiyu to Su Mu after meeting him.

At that time, Li Feiyu had a boyfriend, which made the situation inherently improper.

Later, Li Feiyu just happened to break up with Zu Peng at the golf course.

Yet, Elder Li did not rush to make his intentions clear.

Elder Li’s plan was to let the two young people interact first.

When everyone had forgotten about Zu Peng, he would subtly bring it up.

Unexpectedly, Li Feiyu created an awkward situation right off the bat.

Elder Li was disappointed with his granddaughter.

Now, Li Feiyu was pulling off this grand feat at Su Family Corporation.

Elder Li had given up on Li Feiyu completely.

If Elder Li knew about the bet between Li Feiyu and Su Mu,

the outcome wouldn’t be as optimistic as Li Feiyu and Li Yaoming envisioned.

Elder Li would have definitely objected.

The reason is simple: Elder Li didn’t want to lose face in front of the Su Family again.

Unable to become in-laws, Elder Li still greatly valued the friendship with Su Junqiang.

Elder Li didn’t want Li Feiyu to affect the decades-long friendship between them.

But anyway, that scenario would not occur, and naturally, Li Yaoming and Li Feiyu couldn’t possibly know what Elder Li was thinking.

Li Yaoming was now very troubled.

Given Elder Li’s temperament, even if Feiyu isn’t stripped of her inheritance rights upon her return, she will be severely reprimanded.

Li Yaoming knew he wouldn’t fare well either, being scolded severely was inevitable.

Because of his indulgence towards Feiyu, it might even affect his position within the company.

Thinking of this, and seeing Li Feiyu still mindlessly looking only at him,

Li Yaoming pointed upwards in frustration, as iron not turning into steel.

Did Feiyu leave her brains at home?

If she can’t find Su Mu below, can’t she look up?

Li Yaoming had been watching just now.

Compared to Su Mu’s speed, Li Feiyu could be said to be moving at a snail’s pace.

Li Yaoming was internally full of contempt.

What was Feiyu thinking?

How could she even consider competing with Su Mu in rock climbing?

Wasn’t this just an act of self-humiliation?

Of course, by this time, Li Yaoming had already forgotten that when he first heard the news, he too believed that Feiyu was certain to win.

He felt like someone who had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it, anyway, at this moment, Li Yaoming thought his daughter seemed incredibly foolish.

Up there?

Seeing her father’s gesture, Li Feiyu was startled.

She was looking for Su Mu, what did her father mean by pointing up?

It hadn’t even occurred to Li Feiyu that Su Mu might have already made it up.

In Li Feiyu’s mind, it was simply impossible for Su Mu to be faster than her.

Not to mention the information Li Feiyu had gotten from the private investigator she hired.

After seeing that Su Mu didn’t even know how to choose the right climbing shoes, Li Feiyu was certain that it was his first time climbing.

Still, due to Li Yaoming’s actions, Li Feiyu couldn’t help but subconsciously look up.

Although she didn’t think of Su Mu, Li Feiyu was somewhat curious about what her father actually wanted her to see.

Su Mu???

Seeing the person who was almost at the top of the climbing wall, Li Feiyu’s mouth fell open in shock.

If an egg had fallen from the sky at that moment, it would have landed perfectly in Li Feiyu’s agape mouth.

How long has it been?

Li Feiyu didn’t understand how Su Mu could have almost reached the top in such a short time.

The climbing walls for Li Feiyu and Su Mu were both around ten meters in height.

Li Feiyu had only climbed a little over a meter so far.

Even though Li Feiyu had been slightly delayed earlier while looking for Su Mu’s exact location.

There really wasn’t much time in between.

Li Feiyu estimated that at most, she had been delayed less than a minute.

How could Su Mu possibly have climbed such a high distance in that short amount of time?

Li Feiyu knew that even if she had not been delayed, she would have only been able to climb around a meter more at most.

Li Feiyu’s climbing speed wasn’t slow by any means.

Because initially, both Su Mu and Li Feiyu had chosen two fairly difficult climbing walls.

Su Mu’s reasoning was simple; with his Champion Climbing Skill, no difficulty seemed to matter.

Moreover, the greater the difficulty, the more it would widen the gap between himself and Li Feiyu.

When the time came, the winner would be obvious at a glance, and timing might even be superfluous.

As for Li Feiyu, well, there’s no need to go into that.

Confident in her intermediate to advanced skills, Li Feiyu thought that no matter how difficult the climbing wall, it wouldn’t be a problem for her in front of Su Mu.

Li Feiyu and Su Mu shared the same thought.

The more difficult the climbing wall, the more it would separate the two of them.

Li Feiyu imagined that by the time she reached the top, Su Mu would only be able to look up at her from below.

Perhaps by then, Su Mu might suddenly see her strengths, right?

Reality is cruel.

Li Feiyu not only failed to make Su Mu have the opportunity to look up to her.

Now, it was Li Feiyu who found herself looking up at Su Mu.

He climbed with astonishing speed, in the brief moment that Li Feiyu was dazed.

Su Mu had already reached the top.

Standing firmly with both feet, Su Mu held onto one of the protruding small rocks used for climbing with just one hand.

He scanned the area below with his eyes.

This Li Feiyu’s speed is really quite ordinary, huh!

Because after climbing a little over a meter, Li Feiyu hadn’t moved any further.

In Su Mu’s eyes, the gap between Li Feiyu and himself wasn’t just a little bit.

Su Mu was somewhat curious: with her level of skill, how could Li Feiyu have the courage to propose a climbing competition against him?
