Chapter 120: Su Mu Finds Out That Su Chen Will Attend the Business Gathering

Seeing Su Chen grinning in front of her, Liu Yanran clenched her teeth in frustration. This Su Chen was truly greedy. He already had so much cash, yet he wouldn’t even let go of this measly five hundred thousand! This was the result of growing up without proper upbringing—no sense of filial piety whatsoever! It wasn’t that she was unwilling to part with the money. She just thought Su Chen neither needed nor cared about such a small amount.

And yet, at this moment, Su Zhenxing kept nodding in approval of Su Chen. “Su Chen is absolutely right. The money should be used for its intended purpose. It seems Su Chen has been studying hard recently—he even knows what ‘earmarked funds’ mean.”

Looking at Su Chen, Su Zhenxing felt a sense of satisfaction. Although Su Chen had started getting involved with the Su family business relatively late, he was at least putting in effort. Otherwise, how could he even know such a professional term like ‘earmarked funds’?

Then, turning to Liu Yanran, he said, “Yanran, transfer the five hundred thousand to Su Chen. Since he’s picking out his own outfit, he should also be the one to use the money.”

Liu Yanran’s facial muscles twitched, but she couldn’t refuse. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Fine, I’ll transfer it to Su Chen now.” As she spoke, she took out her phone and made the transfer.

Su Chen, watching her seething frustration as she reluctantly parted with the money, felt utterly delighted. This was how it should be! Since he had been reborn, he would never waste time tormenting himself again—he would only vent his energy outward, making others suffer instead. Acting out was satisfying in the moment, and doing it all the time was even better. He would make sure to exhaust those who had wronged him in his past life, mentally and emotionally draining them. He would take back everything that was rightfully his, everything they owed him. And when he saw them despair as they lost what they once had, their misery would be his greatest joy.

The more they suffered, the happier he would be.

Before long, he heard a notification sound.

[Ding.]

A bank message popped up on his phone.

[Industrial and Commercial Bank: Your VIP card ending in xxxx has received a transfer of 500,000 yuan via online banking. Current balance: xx.99 yuan. Sender: Liu Yanran.]

Su Chen immediately beamed at Liu Yanran, who was forcing an angry, stiff smile. “The five hundred thousand has arrived. Thanks, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pick out the best outfit for myself.”

Liu Yanran could no longer stand the sight of Su Chen’s grinning face. The more she looked at it, the angrier she got. She simply lowered her head and stopped speaking.

Seeing this, Su Chen chuckled and turned to Su Zhenxing. “Old Su, then I’ll also handle my own outfit for the business gathering this time.”

Liu Yanran immediately raised her head in alarm and objected, “No! This is an important occasion! How could Su Chen possibly know what to wear? I should be the one to prepare it for him!”

After a brief moment of thought, Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen, who was eager to choose his own clothes, then at Liu Yanran, who was adamantly opposed. Both of them had a point. Liu Yanran truly didn’t know Su Chen’s size or preferences, but at the same time, Su Chen had no idea what kind of attire was appropriate for such an event.

He came to a decision. “How about this, Su Chen? I’ll have my secretary take you to the store I usually go to. They’ll help you pick an outfit for the business gathering.”

Liu Yanran’s face instantly turned ugly.

That particular store was Banbanlu, a world-renowned luxury tailor brand. It was a top-tier, handcrafted clothing brand, an ultimate symbol of status and class. Even though Lili and Su Mu had attended numerous business gatherings with Su Zhenxing over the years, she had never arranged for them to get their clothes from Banbanlu. Although their outfits were also high-end, they were nowhere near the level of Banbanlu.

She had asked before if Banbanlu could also make clothes for Lili and Su Mu, but each time, Su Zhenxing had declined with various excuses.

And now, he was offering to have Banbanlu make an outfit for Su Chen?!

Liu Yanran was beyond displeased. She shot a dark glare at both Su Zhenxing and Su Chen. But she knew that since he had already spoken, with his strong-headed personality, there was no way he would take back his words.

She could only bide her time and make sure that when Lili and Su Mu returned, she would insist that Banbanlu also tailor clothes for them.

Su Chen didn’t know exactly which store it was, but he had noticed that every time Su Zhenxing attended a business gathering, his outfits were always low-key yet luxurious, exuding an air of refinement that far outclassed the clothing of Lili and Su Mu.

And when he saw the resentment on Liu Yanran’s face, Su Chen had to reluctantly let go of his plan to scam another outfit budget out of them.

After all, as long as Liu Yanran was suffering, he was happy.

For the sake of his own happiness, giving up one extra outfit budget was nothing.

After all, he was a wealthy man now!

A small outfit budget like this was insignificant.

Putting on a helpless expression, he nodded at Su Zhenxing. “Alright, since you’ve put so much thought into this, Old Su, I can’t let your effort go to waste. Let’s go with your plan.”

Hearing this, Liu Yanran was even more furious.

This Su Chen was getting a great deal and still pretending to be reluctant!

Meanwhile, Su Zhenxing could only sigh. But he understood. Su Chen had no idea just how high the standards of that store were.

In fact, he was almost used to this by now.

If Su Chen had obediently agreed without any complaints, he might have even suspected something was wrong.

It was better to let him get a few sarcastic remarks in.

Then, he sent the invitation, the venue details, and information about the hosts to Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced at the message and smiled.

Two minutes later, at the hospital, Su Mu—who had just had a prosthetic installed on his nose but was still wrapped in white bandages and covered in bruises—received a message.

[Dear Mr. Su Chen, the 23rd Annual Haishi City Entrepreneurs’ Conference will be held in two days on XX-XX-XXXX at 3:00 PM. You are cordially invited to attend. We look forward to your presence.]

Su Mu’s face changed instantly.

He sprang up from his hospital bed.
