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

As the two became more familiar in their conversation, Lu Yuan also couldn't figure out what was going on with Gu Heng...

If you were to say he is a second-generation rich...

He doesn't seem like it...

Like Wu Yifeng, a typical rich second generation who had experienced everything imaginable from childhood, though he didn't control much actual wealth, his knowledge and sophistication were undeniable...

If you were to say he isn't a second-generation rich, he treats money like it's nothing...

Splurging tens of millions without a care...

Forget Wu Yifeng, even I don't have his audacity...

But in terms of knowledge, let alone comparing with genuinely high-class people, Gu Heng probably couldn't even match those small-time bosses...

This contradictory combination within Gu Heng made it hard for Lu Yuan to pin down his identity...

But he didn't think too much about it...

There are too many rich people in Hua Country, and the appearance of a couple of oddballs isn't something strange...

...

It wasn't until they stopped that Lu Yuan also ceased probing into Gu Heng's affairs, saying with a laugh, "Okay, we're here, we can talk more back at home."

Saying this, he led Gu Heng out of the car.

"How do you like this villa of mine?"

After getting out of the car, Lu Yuan still couldn't help but show off to Gu Heng...

Show off; it's human nature to flaunt. Ordinary people think that big shots don't like to show off because big shots only flaunt among other big shots, and ordinary people rarely even get to see them...

Clearly...

Lu Yuan had already considered Gu Heng a peer...

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Heng looked towards the villa ahead, a hint of emotion in his eyes...

Seeing the look in Gu Heng's eyes, Lu Yuan continued, "This villa complex is called Dayi Villa, you must have heard of it, right?"

Gu Heng shook his head...

Dayi Villa?

Gu Heng only knew about Tomson First Class...

Seeing Gu Heng shake his head, Lu Yuan was initially taken aback, feeling as if he had been choking mid-flaunt...

But he quickly recovered and continued with a smile, "When you have time, just search for the top ten mansions in Asia. Dayi Villa is on that list."

"This one must be pretty expensive, right?"

"This one is okay, over 2,300 square meters. It cost 1.4 billion when I bought it.

The largest one, the king of the building, still hasn't sold; it's over 3,000 square meters, 70,000 per meter."

Hearing this price, Gu Heng's gaze flickered.

Seeing Gu Heng's expression, Lu Yuan teased, "Tempted? How about I buy that building king, and you can be my neighbor?"

A villa costing over two billion...

In a place like Yangcheng City, where the wealthy are everywhere, only a minority could afford it...

Lu Yuan was clearly joking, but Gu Heng took it seriously, holding back to say, "Brother Lu, could you help me contact the sales office? I'd like to have a look."

Lu Yuan: "???"

"You really want to buy?"

Gu Heng didn't directly answer but instead, looking towards the villa's green belt developed outside, said, "Honestly, I don't really like villas because they are all built in the suburbs. Although not far from the city center, it still lacks a bit of liveliness.

I still prefer those large flats in city centers, like Tomson First Class, Shenzhen Bay."

Lu Yuan managed to calm his mood a bit upon hearing Gu Heng's words...

If Gu Heng had really decided to buy a several billion-dollar villa just because of a jest, that would have really been too much for him to accept...

After all, I am still paying off the mortgage on this 1.4 billion...

But what Gu Heng said next sent Lu Yuan's newly calmed emotions into turmoil again...

"However, Brother Lu, please still contact the sales office for me; I plan to buy a villa for my parents to live in. I was initially planning to build them a western-style house back in my hometown, but now I regret that.

They are getting older, and you never know when some emergency might arise. The medical facilities back home are too inadequate, and I am not reassured.

I might not live there, but they can. I can even set up a private medical team later on; it would be appropriate for them to retire here."

This was Gu Heng's real thought...

He was now more than just ordinarily wealthy; his previous thoughts needed some adjustment...

Building a western-style house in his hometown might have boosted Gu Jianguo's status, but in reality, it only slightly improved the living place. Considering the frugality of the old couple, probably their daily life wouldn't change much...

But if he moved them to a big city, arranged for dedicated servants, private medical care, that alone would put his mind at ease regarding their health...

If the old couple found the big city life boring, he would buy another building, claiming it as his property, and let them manage the rents.

If they felt they could help him out, he believed they definitely wouldn't refuse...

And his operations would also count as an investment...

No matter how the real estate market might crash, the several billion-dollar mansion he bought wouldn't just drop to a few hundred thousand or million.

Similarly, buying a building for investment made sense.

He would have no worries about the future, even if the system malfunctioned one day, he could still ensure a life without financial worry for himself and his parents."

"Are you serious, kid?"

"Of course, I am serious."

Lu Yuan, looking into Gu Heng's earnest eyes, suddenly didn't know what to say...

He could only helplessly say, "Let's not hurry with the buying, let's go inside and talk slowly..."

Saying this, he led Gu Heng towards the house...

Walking into the villa's hall, they saw two servants bringing slippers right to their feet...

It was obvious that Lu Yuan had already grown accustomed to this kind of service. He turned to Gu Heng and smiled, "Come in and sit first, later I'll ask the servants to prepare a room for you and Miss Xu. I usually spend most of my time at the company, often staying near the company, and I come here only occasionally. You can stay here as long as you like."
