Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 61 Perfunctory
Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Perfunctory
Upon Su Mu’s sudden action, Bai Xiuping was momentarily stunned, but then she understood.
This kid was using her as a shield!
Bai Xiuping naturally noticed Huang Yuqin’s gaze as well.
If it had been before, Bai Xiuping would also have been happy to facilitate the match.
But now that Xiao Mu already had a girlfriend, Bai Xiuzhen wouldn’t follow Huang Yuqin’s lead in creating random connections.
With a slight smile, Bai Xiuping extended her left hand and placed it on Su Mu’s right.
"For your sake, kid, Mum will dance with you once," Bai Xiuping said half-jokingly as she also stood up.
A mother-son dance wasn’t unheard of.
Plus, Bai Xiuping looked very young thanks to her good self-care.
And Su Mu, with his face that made women scream, immediately attracted the attention of most women present.
Fortunately, everyone knew that Su Mu was the Crown Prince of the Su Family,
and that Bai Xiuping was his mother.
There was no need for jealousy; everyone just needed to appreciate the beautiful dancing of the handsome guy.
"Xiao Mu, where did you learn to dance like this?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Bai Xiuping and Su Ruizhi had hidden Su Mu’s true identity from him for eighteen years,
so they naturally didn’t specifically train him in advanced social dance skills or anything of the sort.
Seeing Su Mu dancing even better than herself, Bai Xiuping asked in confusion.
"I learned it at school social activities," Su Mu answered casually.
"School social activities?" Bai Xiuping was a bit incredulous.
Huadong International Middle School, which Su Mu attended, indeed had special training for developing students’ social skills.
For a prestigious school in Huadong City, such activities were pretty normal.
But Bai Xiuping didn’t believe the school could teach that well.
What the school taught was supposed to be just the basics.
Put bluntly, it was nothing more than fancy but insubstantial skills.
But Su Mu danced so proficiently, his movements could even be said to be more standard than those of professionals.’
Bai Xiuping didn’t think it was something that could be taught by the school’s perfunctory curriculum.
Originally, Bai Xiuping was thinking about when to have Xiao Mu receive specialized training in this skill.
Now it seemed, it was completely unnecessary.
"Mum, don’t you trust your son?" Su Mu said with a wounded expression.
"It’s really from school. I just got more interested, and after coming home, I learned a bit more following online videos in my room," Su Mu explained, barely making a plausible case.
Bai Xiuping thought that, apart from the reason stated by Xiao Mu, she really couldn’t think of any other.
She had lived with her son for eighteen years,
and Bai Xiuping knew pretty much everything Xiao Mu did.
Nodding, Bai Xiuping accepted Su Mu’s explanation.
"It seems you have a talent for dance,"
Good at learning plus natural talent,
Bai Xiuping summarized when considering how good Su Mu’s dancing skills were.
When the dance ended, it naturally won a round of applause.
Everyone clapped enthusiastically, as if holding their breath, seeing who could clap louder.
Graciously bowing, Su Mu walked back to his seat, escorting his mother.
"Xiao Mu, seeing how well you danced, why did you modestly tell Aunt Qin that you don’t like dancing?"
No sooner had Su Mu and Bai Xiuping sat down than Huang Yuqin spoke up with a complaint.
To dance well, one surely needs to put their emotions into it.
Could a person who didn’t like dancing perform so well?
Huang Yuqin felt that Su Mu was just brushing her off earlier.
But Huang Yuqin couldn’t really make a scene either.
On the one hand, the Su Family’s strength is there for all to see.
It’s true that I am good friends with Bai Xiuping.
But if I, for no reason at all, were to get angry at Bai Xiuping’s son, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to Bai Xiuping or Huang Yuqin.
On the other hand, Huang Yuqin can’t simply assume Su Mu likes dancing.
That’s his own business; Huang Yuqin surely can’t insist he likes it just because Su Mu dances well, right?
Moreover, if we’re being honest, it’s Huang Yuqin who has been constantly trying to get Su Mu to ask He Qiya to dance.
To say it out loud, it’s Huang Yuqin who’s been eagerly trying to matchmake her own daughter with Su Mu.
This sort of thing is really not very pleasant to speak about.
Su Mu smiled, offering no explanation, nor did he need to.
Su Mu felt that Aunt Qin’s behavior today was a bit much.
If it weren’t for the fact that she’s a good friend of his mom,
Su Mu would have long since stopped bothering with her.
Su Mu had already very clearly refused, but Huang Yuqin seemed not to take it seriously.
Only thinking of pushing He Qiya onto Su Mu was a bit too much.
Seeing Su Mu not picking up on her cues, Huang Yuqin awkwardly shut her mouth.
Tonight, she had indeed been a bit too eager.
After calming down and reflecting a bit, Huang Yuqin felt she really went overboard.
The four of them sat there, looking at the dancers in the dance floor, as if they had a tacit understanding to appreciate it together.
Seeing that it was about time, Bai Xiuping prepared to leave.
"Yu Qin, Xiao Mu and I will be heading back first."
"You guys enjoy yourself."
Bai Xiuping gave Su Mu a meaningful look and stood up, ready to leave.
"Aunt Qin, we’ll be off now."
Although he did not approve of Huang Yuqin’s actions, Su Mu still politely said his goodbyes.
"Xiuping, Xiao Mu, you’re leaving so soon? Won’t you stay a bit longer?"
Huang Yuqin and He Qiya also stood up.
"No need, the event on Ruizhi’s side should also be wrapping up; it’s time for us to head back."
Ignoring Huang Yuqin’s attempts to make them stay, Bai Xiuping, with Su Mu’s arm in hers, got ready to leave.
"Goodbye, Aunt Ping."
This was He Qiya’s first and only sentence after sitting down.
"Goodbye, Yao Yao."
Bai Xiuping was completely approachable, responding to He Qiya in a very friendly manner.
Seeing Bai Xiuping and Su Mu getting ready to leave, of course, people took the chance to make their presence felt.
"Madam Su, take care."
"Madam Su, you and Young Master Su danced so well, please grace us with such pleasure again if you have the chance."
"Madam Su, Young Master Su, take care."
...
Su Mu felt these people were really a bit too enthusiastic.
Their enthusiasm was the same when entering the venue.
Now, as he and his mother were leaving, everyone’s enthusiasm remained unabated.
Thankfully, this wasn’t a private party; otherwise, where would that leave the host’s dignity?
Of course, Su Mu also understood that these people were all drawn by the four words "Su Corporation."
Without the backdrop of Su Corporation, how many would give you a second glance?
Bai Xiuping still smiled and nodded to everyone, signaling them to feel at ease as she and Su Mu walked toward the entrance of the venue.
"Madam Su, Young Master Su, thank you for your esteemed presence tonight."
"On behalf of the charity organization, I thank Madam Su for her generous donation."
Nobody knew from which corner Xia Yiming had hidden himself, but he magically appeared just as Su Mu and Bai Xiuping were about to walk out the venue’s main door.
Su Mu was certain that Xia Yiming had been observing them from the shadows all the while.
With so many people around earlier, Xia Yiming knew he wouldn’t have been able to interject.
That’s why he chose to appear just as Bai Xiuping and Su Mu were about to leave.
