How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 510 - 234 Returning Home in Triumph_3

Gu Heng also came to his senses and, turning around, shot a meaningful look at the two people.

"Auntie, hello, I'm Gu Heng's friend, Lin Jiayun. I heard you're having a birthday, so as a junior, I wanted to wish you well. This is a gift I picked out especially for you."

"Auntie, hello, I'm He Jing... I'm also a friend of Gu Heng..."

As they spoke, the two handed over the gifts they had prepared in advance.

Xu Hong first scrutinized Lin Jiayun intently, then cast a suspicious look at Gu Heng before finally smiling and saying, "You're here now, why bring anything? Come on in and have a seat."

Saying this, she gestured for Gu Jianguo to lead Lin Jiayun and He Jing towards Gu Heng's rural villa, which had cost him several million to build...

Just as Gu Heng was about to follow them, Xu Hong grabbed him...

"Son, fess up, what's your relationship with these two girls?"

Gu Heng: "???"

Could his own mother's powers of observation be so sharp? They had just met, and she already sensed something out of the ordinary between him, Lin Jiayun, and He Jing?

Before Gu Heng could speak, Xu Hong continued, "I've seen that girl Lin Jiayun before; during the New Year, you showed me her photo and even said she was your girlfriend. Why would you bring an ex-girlfriend home? Is that fair to Ranran?"

Hearing Xu Hong's explanation, Gu Heng couldn't help but scratch his head...

He hadn't anticipated that his mother would remember so well...

He had just shown her a picture of Lin Jiayun during the New Year to appease her, and she still remembered it now, even taking Lin Jiayun for his ex-girlfriend...

As long as she didn't think he was messing around outside, it was fine...

His mother, Xu Hong, was a traditional woman; she would never accept her son having a bevy of wives and concubines...

Gu Heng explained, "Ahh, she's not an ex-girlfriend. I showed you her picture during the New Year just to put you off. Actually, she's just a regular friend of mine."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"You'd better be!"

Fortunately, Xu Hong didn't dwell on it too long, just warned him a couple of times and didn't continue.

Just when Gu Heng was about to enter the house, Xu Hong pulled him by the arm again.

"What are you hurrying home for? Didn't you see how many people are here?"

"What about the people?"

Xu Hong didn't care about embarrassing her billionaire son and instantly pinched his ear, whispering reprimandingly, "All these people came to see you; you should at least acknowledge it, right?"

Acknowledge?

Gu Heng got it.

He immediately waved his driver over and instructed, "There's about 300,000 in cash in my trunk, take it out, and make sure things stay orderly. Each person from our village who's over 50 gets 1,000 yuan.

If there's any leftover, buy some senior milk powder from the supermarket, and if that's not enough, withdraw more from the credit union. I'll reimburse you later."

Xu Hong had thought her son had finally learned...

But upon hearing Gu Heng's statement, she just felt a pang...

When she said "show some acknowledgment", she only wanted Gu Heng to say a few nice words to the people to boost the family's prestige...

Who knew this kid would offer to give away 300,000 at the drop of a hat?

While the family prestige was indeed boosted...

The thought of spending 300,000 just for some prestige seemed like a loss, the more she thought about it...

And the crowd around them immediately lit up when they heard Gu Heng offering 1,000 yuan to those over 50...

Initially, they had only come to see the commotion of the county head visiting, not expecting money to be part of it.

Most of the people at home at this time were elderly, which basically meant everyone had money coming to them?

Previously, many in this group had looked on with envy...

It's always like this in the countryside...

There's simplicity indeed.

But there's also more malice, despising the poor and fearing the rich.

But if you're willing to give them a share, they'll become as close as can be, flipping eighteen generations of the family tree upside down to point out a relative connection...
