How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 332 - 159: It Feels Great to Be the Villain

There were quite a few comnts under the trending topic...

Gu Heng picked a few with the highest likes to check...

As expected...

Many of the comnts, other than being bitter and mocking, hardly had any good ones...

[Is it really that no one cares about generals’ graves, but everyone knows the trivial affairs of the rich? Wasting public resources, wouldn’t it be better to cover the Middle East situation more with this ti?

I just want to ask, not to ntion buying a 200 million car, even if it was 20 billion, what does it have to do with us ordinary people?]

[Wang Sicong’s illegitimate child’s lon isn’t even finished yet, and here cos another rich second generation scandal? Looking at his age, he’s probably just over 20, did he earn this money himself? To spend it like this?]

[2.3 billion, I guess it would take a small truck to carry it, right? Just to buy a few tal clunkers? This money could have fed tens of thousands of people in the mountains for a year, couldn’t it?]

[Shut up, you holier-than-thou, up there!]

Seeing how engrossed Gu Heng was, Jiang Ruxue couldn’t help but lean forward, her eyes shifting to the comnts...

Seeing these harsh comnts, Jiang Ruxue took the phone back, then turned off the screen, stuffed it back into her pocket, and after hesitating for a long while, she slowly spoke, "You actually don’t need to mind these comnts."

Normally never having comforted anyone, Jiang Ruxue didn’t know what to say at first, and after struggling, she managed to squeeze out these few words...

Gu Heng looked at her serious expression, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You don’t think I would be affected by these comnts, do you?"

"But just now..."

Gu Heng shook his head, "I’m just a bit unaccustod."

"Unaccustod?"

Jiang Ruxue didn’t understand.

"I did imagine I’d be famous soday, but I didn’t expect it to be in this way, being tagged directly as a show-off."

Jiang Ruxue went silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke again, "Actually, Mr. Gu, no matter what the label is, you really shouldn’t take it to heart."

Gu Heng looked up, his gaze fixed on her delicate face, signaling her to continue.

"With information so developed nowadays, even if you, Mr. Gu, try to hide it, who knows if it might co out soti. And no matter how you beco famous, the tags on you won’t be very nice.

In today’s society with such a large wealth gap, rich people, in the eyes of ordinary people, are actually just a pejorative term. Take Wang Sicong, what has he actually done? Isn’t it just living a lavish life? But his money is neither stolen nor robbed; to put it harshly, as long as he doesn’t break the law, how he wants to spend his money has nothing to do with ordinary people. Even if he breaks the law, there are laws to punish him, nothing to do with ordinary people either.

But why are there so many people taking a moral high ground to criticize him? Is it really because the moral standards of ordinary people are higher? I don’t think so.

In fact, they are not really criticizing Wang Sicong, they’re just jealous that the person living lavishly isn’t themselves."

Listening to Jiang Ruxue, Gu Heng couldn’t help but take a good look at this girl in front of him who was even younger than himself...

Actually, he understood what she was saying... Discover exclusive content at .Côm

But he only gradually understood it because he had experienced it firsthand.

In fact, let tell you, I have been one of those online trolls before...

Back then, cooped up in a tiny rented room scrolling through TikTok, seeing those rich folks on TikTok with fancy cars and beautiful won, while I, working to death every day, earned only 4500 a month, even adding an egg to instant noodles felt like a luxury. In this state of ntal imbalance, on the internet where one doesn’t have to be accountable for what they say, venting one’s emotions, occasionally being an online troll was just too normal...

Gu Heng deeply understood the psychology of these trolls...

If venting at him made them feel a bit better, Gu Heng was willing to let them vent, considering it a way of giving back to his forr self...

Having co from such a mindset himself, Gu Heng didn’t really care about these comnts...

But the Jiang Ruxue in front of him definitely hadn’t experienced what he had...

For her to understand this principle and articulate it so clearly was really precious...

Thinking about this, Gu Heng joked with a smile, "You must be the one they call ’awakened to the ways of the world,’ aren’t you?"

Listening to Gu Heng’s teasing, Jiang Ruxue maintained her usual composure, still as indifferent as snow, "Standing from the perspective of a bystander, you actually co to understand everything."

After speaking, Jiang Ruxue realized that Gu Heng truly didn’t take the comnts seriously and stopped talking further, resuming her focus on eating her food slowly and ticulously.

Hearing her mature-sounding tone, Gu Heng smiled wryly, no longer speaking, and scooped a spoonful of tomato beef rice mixed with bright red sauce into his mouth...

The taste...

diocre...

No matter what, it was still cafeteria food, how delicious could it get compared to the dishes ticulously cooked by chefs in five-star hotels that Gu Heng was used to...

But if Gu Heng was picky, he wouldn’t be in the cafeteria today...

Eating enthusiastically from the cafeteria fast food in front of him that cost just over ten yuan per serving...

Jiang Ruxue, while eating, glanced at Gu Heng out of the corner of her eye...

She was a bit puzzled about what kind of person Gu Heng really was...

To be able to spend over two billion on luxury cars and yet be able to enthusiastically eat a simple al in the cafeteria costing just a dozen or so yuan...

She knew rich second generations; her roommate Lizi was one...

For three years in college, Lizi always ate exquisite als delivered from ho, never once setting foot in the cafeteria...

But to Jiang Ruxue, such behavior seed perfectly normal...
