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

Chapter 111 - 88: It’s Just a Bit of Frost _3

.....

.....

As he walked into the hall, he saw Old Gu sitting on the sofa, watching a patriotic war drama...

Compared to his mother Xu Hong’s meddling nature, his father Gu Jianguo was much more reserved.

Seeing Gu Heng come in, Gu Jianguo turned his head and smiled, "You’re planning to demolish our house and rebuild it?"

It was quite normal for Old Gu to guess that he was planning to build a house given that he had made such a big show of having the land measured; Gu Heng hadn’t planned to keep it a secret anyway, and he simply nodded, then sat next to him and said, "Yes, this house is over twenty years old already.

Though it’s not exactly a dilapidated house, it’s not very comfortable to live in anymore. You see my room upstairs: aside from a bed, there’s nothing left.

I thought about renovating it all over again, but it seemed troublesome, so I figured it might be simpler to just tear it down and rebuild."

"How much do you plan on spending?"

"The budget for the main structure is a couple million, and with the renovations, about five or six million."

Upon hearing Gu Heng’s words, Gu Jianguo’s hand, which was holding a teacup, couldn’t help but tremble...

"That little?!"

"Five or six million?!"

"Five or six million is enough for you to buy a house outside, why waste the money?! No way, I won’t allow it!"

People say to raise children to provide for old age, isn’t this just it?"

Seeing Gu Jianguo’s trembling lips, Gu Heng also felt bad, and could only stand up, faking a smile, "When you have time, go open a bank account and keep this money in it, just don’t let mom know!

"Don’t overthink it, things are getting better!"

Then, without waiting for Gu Jianguo to react, he ran upstairs, calling out as he went, "Call me when it’s time for dinner, I’m going to lie down on the bed for a bit."

[The host has dutifully rewarded his father, thus successfully indulging his desires. Reward: 10 million. Balance: 81.1 million.]

The system’s reward this time was remarkably brief and the amount was also significantly substantial.

Having given Gu Jianguo 200,000, it was essentially moving money from one hand to the other, yet he received a reward of 10 million...

However, this time, Gu Heng wasn’t excited, but instead hid at the stairway entrance, looking at the trembling figure sitting on the sofa with both hands over his head...

This scene was something he had never even dreamed of before...

After standing at the stairway entrance for a solid three or four minutes and seeing that Gu Jianguo had managed to pull himself together and walk toward the kitchen, Gu Heng also stepped into his small room...

Just as he had reassured Gu Jianguo earlier.

With the system, life had improved.

The memories of past struggles, now seem,

to be merely a bit of frost...
