How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 524 - 240: Shanghai_2

Gu Xinran hopped off Gu Heng, pouting and fussily fixing her hair that Gu Heng had tousled. "What's the use of a boyfriend? I don't want to hear any crappy romantic love stories right now, I just want to make money!

Dating just slows down my money-making speed!"

Gu Heng: "???"

Seeing the determined look on Xinran's face, Gu Heng couldn't help but size her up.

As the younger cousin who had grown up following him around, Gu Heng obviously wouldn't shortchange her. Believing in raising sons in poverty and daughters in wealth, he had taken over the responsibility of Xinran's living expenses from his uncle since they were children.

He gave Xinran tens of thousands of dollars in allowance each month and ordered her to spend it all. If she didn't, the amount would roll over to the next month.

At first, Xinran was a bit resistant, but because Gu Heng was very firm, she had no choice but to accept this benefit. Her monthly allowance had rocketed from $2,000 to $50,000...

With her living expenses multiplying tenfold, her life got better and better...

Her clothes were no longer from Taobao or Pinduoduo's seasonal collections but had shifted to some light luxury brands.

Wearing a PINKO skirt, Prada sneakers, and carrying an LV handbag, and with light makeup on, the previously beautiful Xinran was now not only fundamentally pretty, her entire attire added a touch of the "rich and beautiful" vibe...

After sizing her up, Gu Heng nodded in satisfaction, then teased, "What happened, got dumped?"

"How is that possible!"

She first vehemently denied Gu Heng's words, then continued to complain, "You have no idea, people at school have been saying that I'm kept. When I was interning at Gaoling Capital, those colleagues didn't have the time to gossip, but since I returned to school, those nuts keep speculating all day, and even made my advisor believe them. He talked to me recently...

He advised me not to stray...

I'm planning to start my own business now! I'll make big money and slap their faces!"

Xinran vented more and more aggrieved, almost on the verge of tears...

Gu Heng fell silent...

It would be fair to say, Xinran's situation was caused by Gu Heng—his good intentions had backfired...

After all, Xinran used to be seen by classmates as just an ordinary rural student, and now she was suddenly all decked out in branded goods, her bags all LV—given people's malice, how could they possibly think well of her?

Isn't Gu Heng himself the perfect example? Just because he splurged a little, online people called him a traitor...

Saying she was kept was actually one of the nicer things...

Not being accused of selling herself was already a relief...

After all, these days, college students making extra bucks isn't news anymore...

Seeing Gu Heng's slightly grim expression, Xinran got a bit flustered and quickly explained, "Bro, I didn't mean to blame you, just venting a bit..."

Seeing how nervous Xinran looked, Gu Heng smiled and patted her head. "It's okay, this is indeed my fault. I was only focused on giving you money to make your life better without considering the consequences.

Don't worry, I'll handle it and talk to your school leaders to clear things up."

"Oh, no need, no need..."

Gu Heng didn't heed her, and continued, "I've brought a gift for you this trip to Shanghai, do you want it?"

"A gift?! What gift?"

"You just say if you want it?"

"I do!"

Facing Gu Heng, Xinran didn't conceal her desires.

Seeing Xinran's mood brightening, Gu Heng put his arm around her shoulders and walked to the large truck parked behind, instructing the already awaiting loaders, "Open the truck door."

The loaders, hearing Gu Heng's instruction, hastened to open the truck door...

As the truck door opened, a pink Aston Martin sports car appeared in front of Xinran.

As a girl with a bursting fancy for the adorable, pink was Xinran's favorite…

Faced with such a cute pink supercar, Xinran's eyes nearly popped out...

"Aston Martin Vantage, a ladies' sports car, do you like it?"

"I love it!!"

Gu Xinran's voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees...

The surrounding students couldn't help but look over...

Once they saw the Aston Martin Vandage inside the train carriage, they all couldn't help but open their mouths slightly in surprise...

At the school gate, it was common to see others giving gifts...

They had seen people give flowers, bags, and jewelry, but this was the first time they saw someone giving a car, and a sports car at that...

Although many didn't know the value of the Aston Martin, the term "supercar" had already become deeply ingrained in their minds; even the cheapest entry-level supercar was over a million...

For a moment, the onlooking students couldn't control their hands, and they started taking photos with their phones...

Gu Heng saw these actions, but didn't show any reaction; all his focus was on Gu Xinran, "I bought this car at a car show in Jingcheng a while ago, intending to give it to you as a graduation gift. But then I thought, anytime I give it is still a gift, so I might as well give it to you in advance.

Have you got your driver's license? I'll have someone drive it down, and you can take it for a spin around the school."

Gu Xinran hadn't recovered from her surprise yet. By the time she did, the delivery personnel had already followed Gu Heng's instructions and unloaded this pink toy.

"This car is expensive, right?"

"Not expensive."

Hearing Gu Heng's indifferent tone saying it wasn't expensive, Gu Xinran nearly believed him...

But she knew that what Gu Heng considered not expensive, might be seen as an astronomical price by ordinary people. She immediately pressed further, "Not expensive, how much?"

Gu Heng could only helplessly recall, and with an uncertain tone, he said, "Probably around three to four million. You must have seen it online; I bought many cars at that car show, nearly twenty-something.

This model was one of the cheapest ones I bought. Even the company's business cars are over five million each; pretty cheap, right?"

Some students nearby, hearing this, felt their values about collapse...

Since when could a car worth three to four million be considered cheap?

Okay, okay...

Listening to her older brother seriously explaining this to her, Gu Xinran was rendered speechless, and then firmly said, "No, no, it's too expensive, I can't accept it.

If my parents find out, they'll definitely storm into the school and beat me up!"

"You don't tell, I don't tell, who would know?

I've already registered this car with a Shanghai license plate. Just use it as a vehicle for getting around; when you go home, still take a taxi as usual, won't that work?"

"No, no..."

Seeing Gu Xinran's resolute refusal, Gu Heng didn't say more; looking at the car that was already driven down, he dragged her to the car, stuffed her into the driver's seat, and sat down in the passenger seat himself...

Even sitting in the car, Gu Xinran was resolutely unyielding. Gu Heng could only helplessly say, "This car is still in my name, not yours; consider it a loan for you to drive, okay?"

"But..."

"There are no buts, if you don't accept it, I'll just smash this car in front of your school.

You know me, I'm capable of doing something like that."

After the threat, Gu Heng smiled at Gu Xinran again, "Besides, I'm not giving you this car for nothing; there's a condition."

"What condition?"

"Ahem..."

Gu Heng first cleared his throat awkwardly, then with a slightly embarrassed smile, he said, "Well... Lin Ran has blocked my phone number, and when I went to her company, they said she took a long vacation...

I was thinking you might still be able to contact her? Could you try reaching her later and arrange a meet-up..."

"You had a fallout with Director Lin?"

"All right, let's not ask too much. Just tell me if you can help?"

"Yes! Of course, I can!"

Seeing that Gu Xinran was still on his side, Gu Heng smiled contentedly...

Thousands of dollars a month for an allowance hadn't been a wasted bribe; it still worked a bit...
