How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 431 - 198: Money Really Can Do Anything



Gu Heng, after shifting his gaze away from the little anchor, had completely forgotten about her.

It wasn’t that Gu Heng had such great magnanimity; it was simply unnecessary. @@novelbin@@

After all, she was just a small-time broadcaster, just as she thought herself: if he really wanted to target her, it would hardly be more difficult than stepping on an ant.

While it was a society governed by law and talks of hiring killers were obviously nonsense, dealing with such minor characters was easy with money. There were countless ways to make her life miserable without any legal consequences.

But Gu Heng didn’t have any life-and-death grudge against her, not even enough to be considered resentment, so naturally, he wouldn’t go to such extremes.

...

Pushing open the door to the general manager’s office, Gu Heng glanced at the office layout, which remained the same as several months before, and then at the people seated inside. He just smiled and stepped in.

Those engaged in conversation inside turned their heads towards the door as it opened.

It was Lin Jiayun, her face full of indignant anger, pointing at the contract in front of her; just as she was about to speak, she saw their gazes turn, and turning her head, she saw Gu Heng walking right up to her side.

"Gu Heng!!"

Feeling the presence of outsiders, Lin Jiayun had already tried her best to control her emotions.

But upon suddenly seeing Gu Heng after several months, she couldn’t help but scream, and in an instant, she lunged into Gu Heng’s arms.

How she had endured these past few months... Read new adventures at NovelBin.Côm

If summed up, it would be in four words:

[Fearful and anxious.]

Why fearful and anxious?

Oh, the reason was simple.

As a gold canary financially maintained by Gu Heng, what was her most useful attribute? To put it nicely, it was the provision of "physical services" and emotional value; to put it crudely, it was providing company in bed.

And what happened? Since the New Year, Gu Heng had spent some time back in Hang City, and now almost five months had passed without him meeting with her. Even requests to see him were rejected...

She also knew many other kept women, those men, flaunting the money they spent, couldn’t get enough of dying on those women’s bellies; she had never heard of Gu Heng’s "free-range" style of keeping someone...

Especially a few days ago, scrolling through Weibo, she saw the trending searches about Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana, sending her already fearful and anxious emotions nearly out of control.

She was well aware that she was just an internet celebrity, and compared to a top entertainment figure like Ouyang Nana, there was no comparison.

Now that Gu Heng could easily play with big entertainment stars, would he still care about a little internet celebrity like herself?

If not for the fact that Gu Heng allowed her the use of luxury cars and mansions, and that he regularly transferred funds to her—each time more generous than the last, amounting to almost a million over these months...

And the fact that Gu Heng never ignored her attempts to maintain a relationship, showing not the slightest hint of impatience, Lin Jiayun might have even suspected that Gu Heng had too many gold canaries to care for and was thinking of discarding her.

If she were really thrown aside, Lin Jiayun felt she couldn’t accept this reality...

Not because she loved Gu Heng that much, but these months of driving luxury cars, living in mansions, buying high-end products, and dining in upscale restaurants had thoroughly indulged her, and all of this was bestowed by Gu Heng. Without him, it would all disappear.

Fortunately, when Lin Jiayun was about to despair, she suddenly received a message from Gu Heng that he was returning to Hang City.

This settled Lin Jiayun’s heart back into her stomach...

In this regard, Gu Heng didn’t seem to be someone who "favors the new and tires of the old"; even with a big star like Ouyang Nana, he still thought of his little internet celebrity...

The more she thought about it, the more a wave of inexplicable emotion surged in Lin Jiayun’s heart...

Gu Heng didn’t know what Lin Jiayun was thinking in her heart, and if he did, he would probably just smile and stay silent.

Who doesn’t "favor the new and tire of the old"?

Most people, regardless of gender, "favor the new and tire of the old."

Those who don’t are mostly the ones who lack the ability to "switch to new," forced to "cherish the old." If they had the ability, they would be more flamboyant than the next, a fundamental human nature, unrelated to gender.

As for why Gu Heng didn’t "tire of the old"?

The reason was simple: others favor the new because their wealth isn’t enough to provide for that many women; thus, they have to abandon the old for the new. But his money was practically overflowing, so there was no need for that.

Whether new or old, he would keep them financially, enjoy them when he remembered, and set them aside when he didn’t, like somebody keeping a reserved toilet without using it.

Like Lin Jiayun, a goddess in the eyes of so many netizens, all it took was a few million a year to make her solely his, so why not?

As for the cost of a few million...

To speak more boldly, for him, that wasn’t even considered money anymore...

Ordinary people make choices, but the wealthy naturally want it all.

Gu Heng gently patted Lin Jiayun’s back and finally slowly pushed her away with a smile.

"Why are you here at the company? Didn’t I ask Sister Jing to take you home? I’ll be home after sorting things out here; I’ve been learning to cook lately, so I’ll make you dinner tonight!"

Listening to Lin Jiayun’s housewife-like declaration, Gu Heng smiled helplessly.

He gently touched her head and said, "If I don’t come, should I just sit at home and watch others bully you?"

Gu Heng didn’t dwell on why He Jing had brought him directly to the company; it was nothing more than deep friendship, wanting him to take a stand for Lin Jiayun, even though it meant using him a bit, but it was purely out of good intentions.
