How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 513 - 235 Changing Parents’ Views on Consumption_3
And just as they had predicted...
With He Jing and Lin Jiayun present, Xu Hong paid regard to Gu Heng's face and wouldn't let loose on him...
But as soon as they left, Xu Hong no longer indulged him...
Pointing at Gu Heng's nose, she launched a torrent of scolding—treating money like dirt, a profligate son—such words cascaded out, one after another.
Gu Heng didn't argue back but just listened with a smile...
He could tell that Xu Hong wasn't truly angry, she was just reluctant to part with the money...
Sure enough, after a bit of scolding, Xu Hong settled down. Although by her views on spending, a million for a piece of clothing was an outrageous rip-off, how could she not be happy if her son had his parents in mind?

Gu Heng, looking at his conflicted mother, figured he would get a speaking-to sooner or later and decided to spill all the sensational news at once.
"Tomorrow is your 50th birthday, I plan to set up a banquet at the village committee's large square, anyone who shows up tomorrow, whether I know them or not, as long as they come! I'll keep everyone for the meal.
As for the chefs, well, I've already had over a hundred summoned from the big cities, I've bought several trucks' worth of ingredients that have been delivered to the town's cold storage for preservation. The banquet will go on indefinitely, until every last bit from these trucks is consumed."
"That must cost quite a bit?"
The exact expenses hadn't been calculated, but it was definitely several million at least. After all, the several trucks' worth of ingredients wasn't just poultry and meat; there were also many high-end items like seafood involved. Just the cost for the chefs was a significant expenditure.
But Gu Heng didn't tell Xu Hong how much money it would be. Instead, he took his mother's hand, gently caressing the calluses, and slowly said, "I don't care how much money it costs, and I don't care what others say.
Just like the day I came back, when I gave away over 200,000, surely some people were smiling on the surface while cursing me as a big idiot behind my back.
I don't care about any of that.
I mainly want you and Dad to be able to hold your heads up and speak to anyone from now on.
For that, even if it means spending all my money, I'm willing."
Perhaps feeling the emotions that Gu Heng was conveying, Xu Hong's hand began to tremble again, her eyes slightly reddening, and her other hand placed itself on top of Gu's. Mother and son sat in silence, saying nothing and yet saying everything...
Just at that moment...
The one who was done swaggering, Gu Jianguo, returned.
First, he chatted with He Jing and Lin Jiayun sitting at the door, then picked up the apron that was hanging at the front door to put on himself, heading towards the gate...
The greasy apron over the bright red Tang suit looked completely out of place...
Xu Hong, seeing Gu Jianguo wrapping the oil-stained apron over a 650,000-yuan Tang suit, couldn't stop her eyes from trembling...
To put it in one phrase, she was downright livid...
Old Gu instinctually sensed hostility and looked toward Xu Hong, shivering a bit at her expression...
Although he didn't know what had set Xu Hong off, having been timid for half his life, he wasn't going to back down now, so Jianguo hurriedly approached Xu Hong with a pleasing smile, "I see we still have some green beans in the fridge, I'll go fry them up now, make your favorite stir-fried pork with green beans..."
Saying so, he quickened his pace toward the kitchen...
Xu Hong also stood up abruptly, pointing at the retreating figure of Jianguo and exclaimed, "Gu! If you dare to enter the kitchen wearing that today, I'll divorce you!!"
Gu Jianguo: "???"
Was making dinner voluntarily a mistake now too?
"You really deserve to die, you're wearing a 650,000-yuan outfit? Hurry up and change in the room! You're not allowed to wear this outfit outside ever again!"
Gu Jianguo: "???"
Listening to the noise from the kitchen doorway, Gu Heng squinted his eyes, leaning back on the couch, watching the scene unfold.
Although with the continuous change in his parents' spending habits, such noise would definitely decrease...
Yet said or unsaid...
This kind of "family" atmosphere, the enjoyment it brings, was far more intense than the comfort one gets from spending a billion or eight hundred million outside...
