Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Shooting Oneself in the Foot

Hearing Su Mu’s words, Allen felt as if he had taken a sedative.

As long as Su Mu was willing to go to Canada, Allen believed that he would definitely be able to repay Su Mu’s great kindness this time.

Feeling a significant reduction in the burden on his heart, Allen was in the mood to joke and laugh with Su Mu.

In order to make Su Mu more determined to visit Canada, Allen pulled out all the stops.

From geographic charm to famous culture, and then to the Canadian delicacies that Allen thought highly of.

Anyway, anything Allen could think of, he introduced to Su Mu.

Watching Allen talk so animatedly, Su Mu thought it a pity for Allen not to be a tour guide.

Given Allen’s enthusiasm, Su Mu believed Allen would definitely make a good tour guide.

Of course, that is if a travel company could afford to hire Allen.

Allen’s worth in Canada was quite prestigious, and Su Mu guessed there probably weren’t any travel companies that could afford to lure him out of retirement.

However, Allen would be very willing to be Su Mu’s tour guide.

To Allen, Su Mu was now his benefactor.

The success of the wedding between Allen and Bai Wanting owed its greatest credit to Su Mu.

"Okay, Allen, if you keep praising like this, I’ll buy a plane ticket to Canada tomorrow."

Su Mu interrupted Allen’s continued praise of Canada.

Most of what Allen said was already known to Su Mu.

Although Su Mu had never actually been to Canada, he had read quite a lot of books.

Su Mu was not a pedant who only read books required for school exams.

For Su Mu, extensive extracurricular knowledge was most important.

If you only study textbooks, no matter how good your exam results, you will not be able to go far.

Improving oneself comprehensively is what a true top student should do.

Now seeing Allen so immersed in praising Canada, it seemed like he couldn’t pull himself away.

Su Mu made a joke, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"Tomorrow? Mu, that’s not possible."

"Mu, my wedding to Ting hasn’t yet received her father’s approval."

"Moreover, I won’t have time to return to Canada before our wedding is over."

"Mu, can you consider going to Canada later? It would be best if you could wait until Ting and I have had our wedding in China."

"After that, I’ll take Ting back to Canada for another wedding ceremony."

"You could come to Canada then and witness our marriage again."

"Plus, I’ll have plenty of time to entertain you then."

The moment Allen heard that Su Mu wanted to book a ticket to Canada the next day, he became anxious.

Naturally, Allen had almost lavished Canada with praises, indeed to attract Su Mu to go to Canada.

But the problem wasn’t about tomorrow.

If Su Mu went tomorrow, how would Allen’s plan to properly repay Su Mu proceed?

Although the wedding between Allen and Bai Wanting had not yet received Bai Mingqi’s blessing, it definitely wouldn’t be delayed for too long.

Bai Wanting had told Allen this with considerable confidence.

Allen also knew that Ting’s belly was growing daily, and time was truly of the essence.

Allen definitely had to stay in China for the time being.

This point was beyond doubt.

Therefore, Allen was truly worried now.

How would one describe it using a Chinese saying?

Allen scratched his head—was it like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?

"Mu, do you think I’ve shot myself in the foot by moving that rock?"

Faced with his inner doubts, Allen directly voiced his question.

Su Mu was somewhat at a loss for words.

He was clearly just joking, yet Allen took it seriously.

Not only did he take it seriously, but he was very, very serious.

Regarding Allen’s question, Su Mu didn’t even know where to begin.

Should he praise Allen for his good command of the language?

Or should he say that Allen was being a bit obtuse, unable to detect he was joking with him?

"Mu, you’re not really planning on going to Canada tomorrow, are you?"

"If you’re really in a hurry, then I’ll make a call and arrange for someone to receive you in Canada."

"You don’t need to bother with booking a hotel or anything, my family has chain hotels all over Canada, so you can go anywhere you want to visit."

"I’ll even find you a tour guide, so you won’t have to worry about not knowing your way around."

"It’s just a pity that I can’t host you personally."

Seeing Su Mu not answering his question, Allen thought that Su Mu was too embarrassed to refuse his offer to delay the trip to Canada.

Allen felt that if Su Mu had already made up his mind, then he could only try his best to arrange everything for Su Mu in Canada.

It was a way for him to show a bit of consideration.

As for the big favor he owed Su Mu, Allen thought that he would have to look for opportunities to repay it later.

It was just uncertain whether such an opportunity would arise.

Given Su Mu’s worth, Allen was aware that he might not be able to find such an opportunity to return the favor.

Su Mu had no idea that the matter of the wedding dress would always be on Allen’s mind.

Su Mu even thought that Allen’s warm hospitality was just part of his foreign nature.

Watching Allen’s thoughts veer off course, Su Mu felt compelled to interrupt him.

Su Mu was afraid that if he didn’t clarify, Allen might actually make a call the next second to arrange his travel to Canada.

"Allen, I was just kidding."

"Flying to Canada tomorrow, I don’t have the time for that."

"The trip to Canada, let’s wait until I have more free time in the future before I tell you."

"You make Canada sound so great, I can’t just go for a day or two and then head back, right?"

"I’d need at least a couple of weeks to enjoy myself, otherwise I’d be nothing but an air traveler, wouldn’t I?"

Flying from China to Canada takes at least around eleven or twelve hours.

If Su Mu were to go just for a day or two, it would indeed be quite a waste.

That’s not even counting jet lag.

If he had to deal with jet lag, Su Mu wouldn’t really be going to Canada for fun, but for sleeping instead.

Therefore, Su Mu thought that Allen was too straightforward.

Looking at this seemingly clever guy, why couldn’t he think a little more and realize?

He was obviously joking.

Was that so hard to detect?

"Joking?"

Allen wasn’t upset about Su Mu’s joke; on the contrary, he thought it was an excellent joke.

"That’s good, that’s good, I was truly afraid that you would actually fly to Canada tomorrow."

"Then I wouldn’t have time to host you, and that might have become one of the biggest regrets of my life."

Unlike Su Mu’s nonchalance, Allen spoke with utmost seriousness.

Allen felt that it would be good news to him as long as Su Mu planned to go to Canada a bit later.
