How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 511 - 235 Changing Parents’ Views on Consumption

Gu Heng had only been home for two days, and he was already missing the joys of living in the big city...

It wasn't for any particular reason, merely that he couldn't stand his own mother.

In a typical rural family system, the person who earned more money should have a greater say...

That was somewhat true in Gu Heng's case, but also not...

The truth was, Old Gu and Xu Hong had indeed changed. In the past, they would give Gu Heng advice in their capacity as people with more life experience, but now, they completely stayed out of Gu Heng's business affairs. For instance, when Gu Heng mentioned to Gu Jianguo that he planned to invest in some industries in the county, potentially investing hundreds of millions, seeking Gu Jianguo's opinion...

If it had been the Gu Jianguo and Xu Hong of the past, when Gu Heng consulted with them about business, even if it was just about switching jobs, they would use their life experience to advise Gu Heng, telling him that nothing was easy nowadays and to just endure it...

But now...

The old couple had come to terms with reality...

Did they know their son was more than ten thousand times better than both of them?

With their limited life experiences, what right did they have to dictate what Gu Heng should do? Let alone an investment of hundreds of millions, before Gu Heng made his fortune, they wouldn't even dare dream about one million...

Thus, there was only one answer they gave him, "Don't ask us, just decide on your own."

That was in terms of a major change relating to business direction from the old couple...

The incorrect part referred to how, in terms of daily life, the old couple still held on to the belief that they were Gu Heng's "parents," and that they had the right to control their son's thoughts.

During the two days Gu Heng was at home, if he went to bed late and couldn't get up the next day, Xu Hong would scold him and even forcibly drag him to eat breakfast...

In just two days, they had adjusted Gu Heng's daily routine back to sleeping before 11 p.m. and waking up at 8 a.m...

Also, the various meticulous teachings about life were endless...

To be honest...

Gu Heng couldn't stand it...

But as much as he couldn't stand it, he still quite enjoyed his parents' attitude...

Now that he was wealthy and important, to the extent that even the deputy county head would personally greet him and give him enough respect—this was indeed exhilarating.

But if even his own closest parents altered their attitude towards him because he had money and acted submissive in front of him, even afraid to express themselves, then what was the point?

He had just become wealthy, not become an emperor—did he have to end up a lonely man?

As Gu Heng was lost in thought, his mother Xu Hong spoke up, "Son, do you think at my age of 50, it's inappropriate for me to wear this kind of clothing? I'm afraid people will gossip and call me shameless behind my back!"

"Son?"

"Gu Heng!"

It wasn't until Xu Hong grew impatient that Gu Heng snapped out of it, looking at his mother in a custom-made cheongsam, and with a sycophantic smile said, "Gorgeous! This outfit was tailor-made just for you, there's not another woman in the world who could wear it better!

If anyone says you don't look good in this outfit, they must be blind!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, don't you trust your son?"

Xu Hong, skeptical, moved her body a bit in front of the mirror, admittedly feeling quite good...

Her mindset was still that of a rural woman. Wearing such a modern, stylish cheongsam, no matter how she looked at it, it felt awkward...

Truthfully...

Does Xu Hong look good in this outfit?

To tell the truth, while not ugly, it definitely wasn't attractive.

No choice, being an ordinary rural woman, she just had a poor foundation. Because of her years of hard labor, Xu Hong's skin was dark and dull, and due to heavy farm work, her body appeared somewhat bent, completely unable to showcase the beauty of this high-end custom-made cheongsam...

No matter if it's from the top cheongsam studio in the country or the most renowned designer in the world, it would be very hard to make a beautiful outfit for Xu Hong...

Gu Heng thought very simply...

He just felt that Xu Hong deserved all of this, so he had this cheongsam tailored for her within two days.

As for whether others thought it looked good?

Irrelevant.

As long as he thought it looked good, that was right.

Moreover, since Xu Hong was Gu Heng's mother, as long as he stood firm, no one would dare to think the outfit looked bad.

Xu Hong didn't know what Gu Heng was thinking, only feeling more and more awkward about herself in the mirror, and soon shook her head, "No, no, this outfit is too stylish for me. I'll stick to the one your dad bought for me.

I'll give this outfit to your aunt, it suits her better and she's younger."

Saying this, she prepared to go into the room to change out of the cheongsam...

But how could Gu Heng let her have her way?

He immediately gave Lin Jiayun and He Jing a look.

Both instantly understood, hurriedly blocking Xu Hong, each took one side, and cooed, "Auntie! Who says this outfit isn't beautiful! Jingjing and I think it suits you splendidly!

Moreover, this outfit is a sincere gesture from Gu Heng, specially commissioned from the best designer in Shanghai. Over thirty master tailors worked around the clock to make it for you. This isn't just any ordinary piece of clothing, do you know how much it cost to design and make it?"

"How much?"

Xu Hong knew the outfit wasn't cheap, but she really had no idea how much it cost.
