Chapter 87: Chapter 77: Liquidation in Progress_3
"I'm putting it away to pass on to my future daughter-in-law! An item worth tens of thousands, worn on me. I'm afraid someone might chop off my head just to snatch the necklace!"
"..."
Gu Heng continued with a speechless expression, "Just wear it with ease; when I have a daughter-in-law in the future, I'll buy her a new one!"
"Buy? Why spend money unnecessarily?
I think you've lost touch with reality now that you have a bit of money! Tomorrow, you will give me all your money to manage! Once you get a wife, I'll return the card to you!"
After shouting at Gu Heng, Xu Hong locked the room door and ignored everyone else...
Seeing her act like this, Gu Heng didn't know what to say...
He had no objection to handing the money over to her for management...
But if just tens of thousands in gold jewelry made her this anxious, what would happen if he handed over the bank card with over seventy million in savings? Would she just pass out on the spot?
After appeasing his mother, he of course couldn't discriminate against others.
He organized the thirty packs of cigarettes on the ground, then placed the two boxes of tea leaves he was carrying next to his dad and smilingly said, "Dad, these are all for you. The tea is Shifeng Longjing, more than ten thousand Yuan per pound, usually served to guests by top officials in Hang City. The village officials can't drink this; you should try and brew some later.
If you like it, make it your go-to tea!"
Gu Jiandang: "???"
It was definitely intentional...
It must have been intentional!
But that wasn't all, Gu Heng then placed a stack of cigarettes on the nearby cabinet: "All these cigarettes are for you too, consider them your regular supply. Those what, hard-middle, soft-middle, subpar cigarettes you used to smoke, don't smoke those anymore. Were those even meant for humans?"
"Bang!"
The table was slammed heavily.
Gu Jiandang stood up with a gloomy face, intending to walk out the door.
He was well aware that today Gu Heng had not intended to save face for him, his own nephew. He was here to settle scores! Staying any longer would only result in humiliation; it was better to leave.
"Hey! Big brother!"
Seeing his elder brother getting angry and about to leave, Gu Jianguo couldn't help but glare at Gu Heng and was about to get up to stop him, but Gu Heng firmly held his shoulder down.
"Uncle? Have you had your fill? Don't be in a hurry to leave, don't you love Dream Blue? If you like it, take it and drink it slowly. Throwing away something that costs hundreds would be a waste, wouldn't it?"
Just as he stepped out the door, Gu Jiandang stumbled upon hearing this, turned around and glared bitterly at Gu Heng, then hastened his steps and disappeared into the night.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Gu Jianguo could only sigh helplessly, his expression complicated as he looked at his son, "No matter what you say, he is still your great uncle..."
He knew his son was avenging him and was gratified that his son had now made something of himself...
But decades of subdued behavior weren't easy to change overnight. He thought that what Gu Heng had done was a bit too much...
Gu Heng remained silent upon hearing this.
He knew what his dad was thinking, but he had decided to play the villain today!
He had been powerless in the past, forced to watch his dad being disrespected. Now that he had the means, he of course needed to settle the scores!
However, he didn't plan to take things too far; he didn't want the family to be labeled as those who, once rich, scorn their poor relatives, causing alienation and resentment.
If these relatives didn't bother him with too much nonsense, then this would be the end of it.
As a son, he only wanted his parents to be respected in public, not to be the target of pointed fingers and rumors. Gossip was trivial to him, but it mattered to his parents.
The uncles and aunts who were still sitting at the dining table exchanged glances...
As seasoned opportunists, they thoroughly understood the principle of currying favor with the powerful...
Gu Heng's aunt hurriedly stood up and said, "Oh my, third brother, don't blame Xiaoheng. He was merely standing up for you today. I'll talk to Jianjun later to smooth things over with your elder brother. After all, we are family. What conflicts could we possibly have!"
After speaking, she looked gleefully at Gu Xinran, who appeared completely oblivious...
Thankfully, their daughter had a good relationship with Gu Heng; otherwise, they might have been added to today's settling of accounts.
