How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 129 - 96 Does He Really Have a Girlfriend?! (Two in

Gu Heng also saw Li ngxue.

Their gazes t instantly.

There was no helping it...

Amid a crowd of ordinary faces, Li ngxue’s delicate face was just too striking...

There’s a saying that’s quite true.

Won change a lot when they grow from girls to won.

Won in their twenties are at their most charming stage, having both the youth of a girl and the grace of a young woman... Compared to her greenness at eighteen, the difference was just too significant...

If it had been the Gu Heng of the past, seeing Li ngxue’s face, which he couldn’t get over in his youth, he probably would have lost his composure...

But now...

It seed like he felt nothing.

Li ngxue was indeed beautiful, but her beauty was only relative to that of ordinary people.

Compared to Lin Jiayun, He Jing, and Lin Ran, she was still a tier lower. He was now used to eating high-class steaks; who would reminisce about the wild pork they had eaten before?

That would be degrading!

Thinking this, Gu Heng rely nodded towards her, a casual indication...

Neither warm nor cold, as if she were an ordinary friend he hadn’t contacted in many years.

And Li ngxue, having seen that look in Gu Heng’s eyes, couldn’t help but tremble in her heart...

If Gu Heng were still down and out as before, she probably would have proudly lifted her head, feeling fortunate about her past decision, then walked past Gu Heng with poise and grace...

But now the situation was completely reversed...

How does that saying go?

It’s not scary to et with an ex; it’s only awkward for the one who is worse off...

The words she had spoken when dumping Gu Heng, fueled by the passage of ti, had finally turned into slaps that loudly hit her face, making it burn red.

Just as Li ngxue deliberately avoided Gu Heng’s gaze, Zhao Fang had already left Li Feng’s embrace and grabbed Li ngxue’s hand, saying, "ngxue, co sit in this car with !"

Saying so, she pulled Li ngxue to the passenger side door of the Bentley Flying Spur without waiting for a reply.

Li ngxue made a symbolic struggle... but it was just symbolic; Zhao Fang barely used any force, and Li ngxue had obediently seated herself...

She also wanted to know if Gu Heng really had no feelings for her anymore...

If there was even a slight chance, she planned to try again with Gu Heng. Just like the bridesmaid said before, rich n were scarce nowadays, and everyone around her was just an ordinary salary earner, the highest inco being only tens of thousands a month.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such an inco was already quite good, but it was far from eting Li ngxue’s standards for choosing a spouse...

Zhao Fang knew Li ngxue was the kind of person who valued appearances and didn’t expose her; after all, she pulled Li ngxue to the passenger side to create a chance for her best friend to get close to Gu Heng.

Li Feng also knew his wife’s intentions, and as he also wanted Gu Heng to shed his bachelor status, both of them tacitly sat in the back without speaking.

As for Gu Heng...

He was aware of the intentions of Li Feng and his wife.

But his feelings for Li ngxue were now even stranger than those for a stranger; to put it bluntly, his impressions of Yu Han, with whom he had been intimately entangled just two days before, were deeper than hers.

So he had no objections at all, and without a word, he took the driver’s seat, acting as the chauffeur.

....

....

"Hengzi, first take Fangfang to my house, cross a threshold, and after my parents give the changing mouth fee, let’s go straight to the city. The hotel already called ; our wedding banquet is from 11 AM to 2:30 PM."

"OK."

Nowadays, even rural people rarely hold weddings in their hotown; most opt for hotels that specialize in hosting weddings.

Although it is a bit more expensive, it is more presentable.

A wedding is a once-in-a-lifeti event, so naturally, they try their best to make it more ceremonious...

Li ngxue sat in the passenger seat looking at Gu Heng’s profile, hesitated for a long ti, and was just about to speak when Gu Heng’s phone suddenly rang...

Seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, Gu Heng quickly maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and brought the phone to his ear.

"Is this Gu Heng, Mr. Gu? I am Zhang Yong, Xu Song’s agent; we contacted each other yesterday."

"Yes."

"We have already received your deposit of 400,000. Xu Song is now ready at the Qing’an Grand Hotel. Do you have ti for a eting now? Also, could you settle the remaining 400,000 final paynt?"

Hearing the voice on the phone discussing money, Gu Heng not only didn’t feel the slightest annoyance but rather felt a sense of relief.

He promptly responded, "Then please wait for at the hotel, I should be able to arrive within an hour."

"Good, I’ve already brought the contract. It is drafted according to our discussion yesterday. You just need to confirm it."

"OK."

After a short conversation, Gu Heng hung up the phone.

Inviting Xu Song to Li Feng’s wedding was a spur-of-the-mont decision...

It was mainly because he had thought a lot yesterday about how to make Li Feng’s wedding morable.

Whether it was giving a red packet of 888,888... gifting a luxury car... or a wedding house...

But in the end, he rejected all these ideas...

The reason was simple; it wasn’t that he was reluctant, but such gifts wouldn’t deepen their relationship, and might even turn a friend into an enemy. Gu Heng had heard plenty of such stories growing up around him.

There were not many friends he could confide in; he didn’t want to test so-called human nature.

Plus, he was only Li Feng’s "dad" in na, not his biological father.

He thought it best to let him handle such matters of housing and vehicles himself.
