How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 84: Chapter 76 Going Home_3

"What? A Bentley?"

The cigarette hanging from his mouth quivered uncontrollably.

Having served as a village official for decades, he considered himself a cultured man; he definitely knew what a Bentley was. Hearing this, he quickly turned his gaze towards the emblem, and upon seeing the big 'B' emblem, he swallowed and said, "This car mustn't be cheap, right?"

Gu Heng, seeing his expression, had only one word in his mind:

Thrilling!

Then, with a casual expression, he said, "Cheap, it doesn't cost much, just about 3.8 million in full payment, not even 4 million."

"What? 3.8 million?! What kind of car costs 3.8 million?"

The first to shout was Xu Hong, who grabbed Gu Heng's hand, her face filled with disbelief.

Even his own mother could hardly believe it, let alone others. After Gu Jiandang came to his senses, he was full of doubts and continued, "Xiaoheng, you can't start picking up bad habits of bragging now, we are all family here, you must tell the truth."

"I am telling the truth, you can ask Xinran, she knows more about it."

Gu Xinran, hearing that Gu Heng had a task for her, quickly stood up and explained, "What my brother said is true, the car does cost 3.8 million."

Being a top student sure worked wonders; if it wasn't for bringing back Gu Xinran today, he wouldn't have been able to pull this off as smoothly.

The thing he was proudest of in life was being a village official, thinking he was somewhat a government officer. Now, the source of his pride had been belittled to nothing by Gu Heng.

[Host successfully released emotions, using innuendos and subtle digs to provoke his status-conscious uncle, causing his blood pressure to rise by 10%, successfully indulging in schadenfreude, reward: 660,000 yuan. Balance: 70.94 million yuan.]

Hearing the system's reward notice, Gu Heng felt delighted.

He had long wanted to properly confront these annoying relatives, and now with the system providing rewards, it gave him a perfect reason to do so.

With this in mind, he prepared to throw more passive-aggressive comments, but Gu Jianguo hurriedly stepped in, signaling him to hold back with his eyes.

Seeing his father's pleading look, Gu Heng suppressed the anger inside and said no more.

He had just gotten home and wanted to give his father some face, not tearing the relationship apart for now.

But only for now.

Gu Heng never considered himself a good person, and in his eyes, besides his parents, he scarcely acknowledged any relatives.

If someone was kind to him, even a stranger, Gu Heng would reciprocate the kindness.

But if anyone harbored ill intentions towards him or his parents, even if they were blood relatives, Gu Heng would not indulge them.
