Chapter 67: Chapter 65 Mom, I Bought a House
The house was bought...
The thrilling sensation of spending millions surged like a high tide and dissipated as quickly as the tide ebbed...
Holding the property purchase agreement and looking around at the brand-new decor, Gu Heng slowly spoke to He Jing and Lin Jiayun, "You guys go out first, I want to sit here alone for a bit."
Sun Li and Chen Hao heard this and left the room without a word.
Now, Gu Heng was their absolute financial backer, and since 10.23 million had been swiped from his card, the ownership of the house had already become his, lacking only a nominal property title...
It wasn't just politely asking them to leave; even if he had told them to get out, they wouldn't have dared to utter another word.
Lin Jiayun wanted to continue live-streaming in the room, but she too was pulled out by He Jing...
At that moment, only she truly understood Gu Heng's feelings...
Although she didn't know where Gu Heng got such a large sum of money, she was certain that Gu Heng wasn't some rich second generation... For ordinary people, when distant dreams were suddenly realized, confusion inevitably followed the initial excitement...
...
When the surroundings quieted down, Gu Heng slowly sat down on the sofa, gazing out the window at the scenery, and made a call to his mother...
"Three of bars... Pong!"
The call connected, and noisy sounds immediately came from the phone.

"Speak if you have something, don't delay my mahjong game," his mother Xu Hong's impatient dialect rang out at the same time.
The old home didn't have any special products; the only special thing might be the incredibly dense mahjong halls along the road sides, especially now close to the New Year, when people who had slaved away outside all year ran back to dominate the mahjong tables. Clearly, his own mother was also among this group dominating the tables...
Gu Heng's emotions, which he had been brewing for a long time, were suddenly quashed by his mom...
"Are you going to talk or not? If not, I'm hanging up!"
"Wait, don't move, I'm calling the 60,000!"
Hearing his mother's impatient tone, Gu Heng couldn't muster his emotions anymore and could only reluctantly announce the good news, "Mom, I bought a house."
"Bought what?"
"Bought a house!"
Sure enough, this statement immediately stirred up excitement at the mahjong table.
"No way! He even bought a house? Isn't a house nowadays worth at least a couple million? Your son must have really struck it rich!"
"..."
All sorts of compliments made it harder for Xu Hong to keep quiet than suppressing an AK...
After all, who doesn't like to hear good things... even if they know it's not true, they still enjoy it...
That's how it is in the countryside. People always say complimentary things to your face, and the nasty stuff only behind your back...
But as the flattery grew more and more outrageous, Xu Hong couldn't help feeling a bit guilty.
After all, in her heart, she knew her son didn't have the means to buy a house; it was just the Gu family tradition to boast and show off...
Today it's buying a house; tomorrow it might turn into buying a villa. After all, compared to city neighbors who might live next to each other for decades without knowing each other, rural neighbors gather everyday to chat, and some stories definitely get blown out of proportion.
For instance, working by screwing bolts might, after a few days, become serving as a soldier in Russia. Saying he's delivering parcels in the capital could be twisted into owning land there. Saying he's a line manager in Dongguang could turn into being the mayor of Dongguang...
Thinking of this, Xu Hong took the chance when others weren't paying attention to transfer 1000 yuan to Gu Heng on WeChat...
When her son comes back, he can deal with these gossips himself...
Consider this 1000 yuan as compensation for Gu Heng...
With that thought, Xu Hong's slight sense of guilt towards Gu Heng dissipated completely, and she wholeheartedly joined the intense game before her...
...
Meanwhile, seeing the 1000 yuan transferred by his mom, unaware that it was compensation, Gu Heng was secretly moved while sitting on the couch...
Although she verbally disparaged him, she still cared about him in her heart...
The money given by his mother compared to system rewards felt entirely different. Gu Heng happily pocketed the 1000 yuan transfer, completely unaware of what awaited him back at his hometown...
When Gu Heng stepped out of his room, he found only three people at the door. He glanced around, somewhat puzzled, "Where's Jingjing?"
Seeing that He Jing was not around, Lin Jiayun's mood seemed visibly better. She smiled and said, "The boss called her a while ago; there's some urgent matter at the company, so she left first and told me to let you know."
"Alright then. Are you heading back too? Do you need a ride?"
Just as Lin Jiayun was about to speak, she was interrupted by Gu Heng's ringing phone...
