Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 390 - 389 Rejected More Than Once

Seeing that Four Eyes and the other two had already turned the corner out of the parking lot, Su Mu took out his phone to while away the idle time.

Su Mu knew that it was impossible for Four Eyes to come back without spending quite some time.

If everything went smoothly, Four Eyes would likely take even longer.

Su Mu, who had nothing to do, had no interest in wandering around Yude High School.

Having just finished his three years of high school, Su Mu naturally had no interest in other high schools.

He didn’t know exactly how much time had passed as he wasn’t keeping track.

"Dong dong"

The glass of the driver’s side window on the black Ferrari was gently tapped twice.

Su Mu shifted his gaze away from his mobile phone screen and looked outside the window, where He Qiya was bending over, standing next to his car.

Su Mu lowered the window a bit. Since He Qiya was standing right next to the car door, it wasn’t convenient for Su Mu to open the door and get out.

"Su Mu, Four Eyes has found Li Minli. They’re talking over by the sports field now," she said.

"I figured there wasn’t much for me to do, so I came straight back," she continued.

Since it was class time, He Qiya and Four Eyes were worried that showing up suddenly at the door of class 2 of the second grade might arouse the students’ curiosity.

Fortunately, they had Xiao Zhang, an insider from the school, to keep them company, so He Qiya directly asked Xiao Zhang to invite Li Minli out of the classroom.

As for He Qiya and Four Eyes, they waited outside the teaching building.

So, whether or not Su Mu accompanied Four Eyes on the visit didn’t really make much of a difference.

The biggest difference would have probably been that if Su Mu had gone along, Li Minli would have seen Su Mu first instead of Four Eyes when she came out.

Without Su Mu, He Qiya was a girl and the one called Li Minli was the principal’s assistant; the only unfamiliar boy was Four Eyes, whom Li Minli would certainly pay attention to.

Therefore, the back-view girl truly noticed Four Eyes at first glance this time.

For Four Eyes, this should indeed be a good start.

Assistant Xiao Zhang didn’t really know why Miss He had come to find Li Minli with a friend.

But Principal Zhou had asked Xiao Zhang to host He Qiya and to help her find Li Minli.

Xiao Zhang naturally prioritized completing the task assigned by Principal Zhou.

As for other matters, Xiao Zhang considered them outside his responsibilities.

After Li Minli came out, Xiao Zhang briefly introduced He Qiya’s identity, and then He Qiya promptly sent him away.

Of course, Xiao Zhang no longer needed to stay since his task was finished.

If He Qiya was preparing to leave after achieving her goal, how was Four Eyes supposed to confess to his back-view girl if Xiao Zhang was still there?

"Miss He, is there something you need from me?"

Perhaps because she was brought over by the principal’s assistant, Li Minli didn’t look scared.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhang didn’t know the full name of the chubby boy with glasses.

Xiao Zhang had only heard He Qiya call the chubby boy Four Eyes.

Xiao Zhang figured he couldn’t just address him so directly as Miss He did, right?

So until Xiao Zhang left, he didn’t introduce Four Eyes to Li Minli.

To Li Minli, it seemed the principal’s assistant had only introduced the identity of the beautiful girl, so Li Minli thought the beautiful girl must be the one looking for her.

That’s why Li Minli began speaking directly to He Qiya.

"It’s not me who’s looking for you; it’s him," He Qiya responded, pointing towards Four Eyes who seemed either too excited or a bit stage-shy.

"He?"

Li Minli was somewhat puzzled.

If the boy in front of her, who looked very ordinary but seemed to be honest, had come to find her.

Why did the principal’s assistant only introduce the beauty just now, and not mention this boy?

"You two chat, I’m heading to the parking lot."

He Qiya had no intention of introducing Four Eyes, leaving behind a remark before turning away.

In He Qiya’s mind, she couldn’t even count as acquaintances with Li Minli, so how could she introduce her to Four Eyes?

Anyway, He Qiya felt she had already helped Four Eyes find the person.

Li Minli was already standing in front of Four Eyes, that definitely counted as having found her.

He Qiya believed that she had satisfactorily completed the task Su Mu had given her.

Now, of course, it was time for He Qiya to gracefully exit the scene.

As for how Four Eyes would confess his feelings to Li Minli, that was beyond He Qiya’s concern.

He Qiya didn’t have the curiosity to stay there just to be a gawking onlooker.

Rather than stand around watching Four Eyes express his feelings for the girl he liked from afar, He Qiya preferred to go back to the parking lot to join Su Mu.

Even just sitting in her car with Su Mu in the parking lot felt much more meaningful to He Qiya than standing here.

So, it seemed that Four Eyes’s prediction was very accurate.

If it had been Jiang Xinxuan at this moment, she definitely would have introduced Four Eyes before leaving.

After all, they were all girls, and even though they were strangers to each other, it was easier to speak to them than to boys.

Watching the carefree He Qiya turn around and leave, Four Eyes was on the verge of tears.

At this point, Four Eyes couldn’t just call He Qiya back in front of Li Minli, right?

Having no other choice, Four Eyes had to speak up himself.

...

He Qiya, who had already returned to the parking lot by now, of course, had no idea about the final outcome of Four Eyes’s situation.

Therefore, He Qiya didn’t mention anything about Four Eyes to Su Mu.

Because He Qiya herself didn’t know either.

Su Mu nodded his head; by looking at He Qiya’s manner, he had already understood.

He Qiya had definitely just abandoned Four Eyes.

But this wasn’t a big deal; after all, this was Four Eyes’s own matter.

If at this point he was still expecting others to help, Su Mu felt that Four Eyes’s love affair didn’t even need to start—it could end right there.

"Su Mu, it’ll probably take a while for Four Eyes; are you bored sitting in the car?"

"Do you want me to keep you company and take a walk?"

Seeing that Su Mu didn’t seem to want to get out of the car, He Qiya took the initiative to invite him.

After all, He Qiya had come to the realization that her interactions with Su Mu were always initiated by herself.

Waiting for Su Mu to ask her first was unrealistic; He Qiya had the self-awareness to know she had not reached that position in his heart yet.

Browse around?

Su Mu looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky and didn’t seem very interested.

"It’s so hot, rather ..."

Su Mu was about to refuse directly.

Being straightforward had always been one of Su Mu’s strong points, though to those being turned down, such bluntness might seem cold-hearted.

"Mr. Su, Miss He, I’ve brought some bottles of water for you two."

"It’s such a hot day; would you like to sit in the office? There’s air conditioning."

Su Mu had not finished his words of refusal when Xiao Zhang, the assistant who had run over from a distance, interrupted him.

Seeing Xiao Zhang’s sweaty face, it was clear that he had truly run all the way here.

He lifted the several bottles of water in his hand, indicating that he really was there to deliver water.

But as he approached and saw Su Mu sitting in the car, Xiao Zhang’s last words were noticeably less confident.

Air conditioning?

Wasn’t Mr. Su sitting in the car enjoying the air conditioning right now?

Could it be that the air conditioning in a Ferrari 812 was inferior to that of an office?

Was it necessary for Mr. Su to specifically get out of the car to enjoy the office’s air conditioning?

Even though Mr. Su didn’t say anything about Xiao Zhang’s remark, Xiao Zhang himself felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Su, Miss He, please have some water."

Politely handing over two bottles of water, Xiao Zhang dared not mention anything about the air conditioning at this moment.

"Thank you."

He Qiya knew that Su Mu had been about to refuse her just now.

It was only because of Xiao Zhang’s appearance that Su Mu hadn’t voiced his rejection.

Therefore, at this moment, there was a sense of gratitude in He Qiya’s heart towards the assistant Xiao Zhang.

He Qiya felt that Xiao Zhang’s arrival was quite timely.

In her heart, He Qiya thought that today, Su Mu had already refused her more than once.

Thinking of this, He Qiya subconsciously glanced at Su Mu.

Luckily, Su Mu showed no sign of annoyance.

Perhaps because it was really too hot, Su Mu took the water from Xiao Zhang and unscrewed the cap to drink a few mouthfuls.

Seeing Su Mu’s action, He Qiya was even more convinced that Su Mu hadn’t intended to refuse her on purpose.

It was simply that it was too hot, and Su Mu couldn’t stand the heat.

With this thought, He Qiya felt a bit more at ease.

"It’s what I should do, what I should do. These little tasks are all part of my duties."

Xiao Zhang didn’t realize that He Qiya’s thanks were for his timely appearance.

With a somewhat flustered wave of his hands, Xiao Zhang noticed that this was the most polite he had seen Miss He since he met her.

"Mr. Su, Miss He, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Principal Zhou has instructed me to take good care of you; just say the word, and I will make it happen."

Although Principal Zhou had only asked Xiao Zhang to attend to He Qiya.

Because He Qiya’s cousin did not know that her cousin’s granddaughter was visiting Yude High School with the young master of the Su Family.

Naturally, she did not inform her husband of such important news.

Otherwise, it’s likely that the person receiving them wouldn’t have been Xiao Zhang, but Principal Zhou himself.

But the observant Xiao Zhang also realized that this Mr. Su’s status was no ordinary matter.

The task given by Principal Zhou to attend to He Qiya naturally turned into attending to both Su Mu and He Qiya.

"No need, you go on with your business."

"We’re just waiting for a friend to come out before heading back."

Su Mu had a good impression of this Xiao Zhang.

Seeing him standing beside his car, drenched in sweat, Su Mu simply shook his head.

The most important thing Xiao Zhang had done was to bring Four Eyes to find Li Minli.

The rest was all up to Four Eyes,

Even Su Mu, as a friend, couldn’t be of much help, so assistant Xiao Zhang was definitely out of his depth.

Moreover, there really was nothing for Su Mu and He Qiya to do here anymore.

The only thing the two of them needed to do was wait for Four Eyes to come out.

As for Xiao Zhang’s initial suggestion to go to the office for some air conditioning.

Su Mu indicated that he was already doing just that and, of course, there was no need to move.

"Alright, then I won’t disturb you two any longer, I’ll head back first."

At this point, Xiao Zhang also felt it was awkward to bring up the air conditioning again.

After greeting Su Mu and He Qiya, Xiao Zhang made his exit.

"Four Eyes might still be a while, so why don’t you also go back to your car and rest for a bit?"

After Xiao Zhang had left, Su Mu saw that He Qiya was still standing next to his car without any intention of leaving.

Inside, Su Mu was extremely curious – don’t all girls fear getting a tan?

Why was He Qiya so different from the rest?

Or was it that He Qiya was naturally beautiful and didn’t worry about the sun at all?

But even so, standing under such a strong sun must still be uncomfortable, right?

Let’s not even talk about the fear of getting tanned, just standing under the sun for a bit would make one’s skin sticky with sweat, which surely must be quite uncomfortable, right?

Thus, Su Mu was very kindly reminding He Qiya that it was time to return to her car to enjoy some air conditioning and rest for a while.

Unfortunately, Su Mu really didn’t understand He Qiya’s thoughts.

If at this moment Su Mu could invite He Qiya to his car to enjoy the air conditioning and have a chat,

that would’ve been exactly what He Qiya wanted to hear.

He Qiya looked at Su Mu with a serious expression and bit her lip.

Stealing a glance at the passenger seat of the Ferrari 812, the place she longed to be right now was right there.

But He Qiya had also driven here herself.

If Su Mu didn’t invite her into his car, it wasn’t as though He Qiya could just run over, open the passenger door, and seat herself, could she?

She would need a reason for that, wouldn’t she?

It was because she couldn’t find any reason that He Qiya forced herself to suppress the thoughts in her heart.

He Qiya knew she couldn’t tell Su Mu that she didn’t want to turn on the air conditioning, could she?

Driving a Ferrari 599 but reluctant to use the air conditioning – even a primary school student wouldn’t believe such a poor excuse, let alone Su Mu.

Helpless, He Qiya pressed down her impulse and gave up the idea of sitting in the passenger seat of the Ferrari 812.

"Then I’ll go back to my car first."

He Qiya had originally wanted to add, "If you find it boring, you can come and chat with me."

But seeing the cell phone in Su Mu’s hand, He Qiya swallowed the second half of her sentence.

"Sure."

Su Mu didn’t notice that He Qiya’s mood had dipped a bit.

Watching He Qiya turn and walk back to her car, Su Mu raised the driver’s side window, leaving just a small gap for ventilation.

He looked down and resumed checking the news on his phone.

Because Su Mu wasn’t paying attention to He Qiya, he didn’t see that before getting into her car, she cast a somewhat reluctant look back at Su Mu.

Convinced that Su Mu was not going to invite her into his car, He Qiya resigned herself to sitting down in her vehicle.

She started the car, turned on the air conditioning, and could only emulate Su Mu by resting in her car.

He Qiya realized that accompanying Su Mu to Yude High School only meant exchanging a few more words with him.

As for any other contact, she hadn’t managed to increase it at all.

Feeling frustrated about the constant distance in her relationship with Su Mu, He Qiya was at a loss for what to do.

Thinking about the topics discussed during lunch, He Qiya took out her phone and started searching.

Su Mu’s college decision was set on Z University in Wudong City, so He Qiya needed to find the nearest university to Z University.
