4733 Never Too Late to Love (140)
“It’s somewhat amazing!” Bai Sheng said half-jokingly, “I think you are very diligent and thrifty.”

“That’s a fact. Your husband is certainly a thrifty man.” After a pause, Gu Chengze continued, “Is this something that surprises you?”
“Uh huh.” Bai Sheng nodded her head seriously and said, “Actually, I did some recalling. I remember going to your house when I was a child. It was your birthday or something. My impression was that you came from an above average family background, that kind of middle-class!”

When Gu Chengze joined the class as a new transfer student, his attire and appearance gave Bai Sheng the impression that he was from a middle-class background.

“Because most of the children in the class come from middle-class backgrounds.”

At that time, the kindergarten that Bai Sheng and Gu Chengze attended was considered a rather good one, among the others in the capital.

However, when Bai Sheng visited at Gu Chengze’s house, she was stunned. It turned out that his house was actually so luxurious and huge.

Although children in kindergarten did not have any concept of class, on the way home, Bai Sheng had heard her mother exclaiming more than once, that Gu Chengze’s family background was one of the best in the capital, let alone in school.

“At that time, I my mother kept saying that you came from a good family. She told me to be careful when I interacted with you.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” Bai Sheng also had a blank look on her face as she said, “At that time, my mother kept talking about ‘the Gu family in the capital’. I did not know what the adults were thinking. I only knew that you were fun to be with, so I was willing to play with you. However, I had never paid attention to your family background. But after you grew up, including now, you give me the impression that you’re a young master from a wealthy family. Yet, you’re very diligent and thrifty in your daily life. Usually, young masters spend money extravagantly. In fact, your family background is one of the best in the capital, isn’t it so? But you give me the feeling that you’re careful with expenses. It the kind of…”

“Spending on the critical things?”

“That’s right.”

Gu Chengze inserted the SIM card into her cell phone and returned the device to her. “Here, it’s done!”

“Have you been so thrifty since you were a child?”

Gu Chengze pursed his lips and said indifferently, “When I was young, I didn’t have any concept of money. I lived a life of hardship with my mother but I don’t have any concept of that either. Actually, the philosophies I have weren’t instilled by anyone. It was my father’s expectations of me. From the time I became an adult, other than tuition fees and basic living expenses, I’ve had to work for whatever I wanted.”

“Me too…” Bai Sheng continued, “But I’m different from you. I did not have this sort of family background, but you do.”

“I actually understand my father’s good intentions. He feels that it’s better to teach a person how to fish than to give him a fish. If we rely on the Gu family’s wealth, although even now I have no idea how vast the Gu family’s assets are, my father reckoned that raising ten of me and ten generations of the Gu family’s bloodline won’t be a problem. However, he hopes that I can be independent nevertheless.”

After a pause, Gu Chengze continued solemnly, “Actually, it’s not like I’ve never hung out with those second-generation heirs before. I’ve done the bars, nightclubs, and private clubs. I’ve tried with everything, but I don’t like that kind of environment.”
