Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 43 You have your highbrow culture, and I will be my lowbrow culture

When night falls, the ancient town is illuminated by lights and looks particularly beautiful.

The reflections in the river, the lanterns on the bridge, and the shop signs all emit a soft glow.

On the bluestone road, many people were hurrying towards the distance. In addition to tourists, there were also many vendors holding various commodities.
A mother and daughter walked past Gu Heng, each holding a large bouquet of various flowers.
"Mom, after you sell these flowers tonight, can you really buy me Kuromi?"

"Yeah, I'll buy it for you."

The two of them communicated in Wu dialect. Having lived in Hangzhou for so many years, Gu Heng could barely understand what they were saying. He could also hear the perfunctory tone in the mother's voice. However, after hearing this promise, the little girl's eyes seemed to have a little more expectation.
Lin Ran, who was walking in front, had already changed out of her favorite red color and was wearing a pure white winter skirt. Her standard flaming red lips were also replaced with a light plain face. Her white shoes were tapping, adding a touch of dreamlike feeling under the soft light.
It has been an unknown amount of time since they came out, and the two of them have been communicating with each other for no reason.
Gu Heng walked slowly behind her, feeling the damp and cold air after the rain.
Suddenly, Lin Ran, who was walking peacefully, turned back and stood next to Gu Heng.

"Aren't you curious about why I know your bad intentions towards Fang Xun?"

Hearing her sudden topic, Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head calmly: "Not curious."

"Why?"

Now it was Lin Ran's turn to be curious.
"Didn't you tell me before? We are all adults. If you know, then you know. It's not something to be ashamed of. There's no need to be curious."

Gu Heng said it very frankly.

He was not a gentleman at all.

Why do you have to pretend to be a serious person? Aren't you tired?
Besides, he didn't do anything illegal like forcing women of good families into prostitution. It's just like those rich people who have mistresses. Now that he has money, is it wrong for him to use the money to buy the love that was out of reach before?

right?
Whether this kind of thing would be condemned by morality was not important at all. He just wanted to live comfortably.

Listening to Gu Heng's confident words, Lin Ran's eyes flickered: "You are really interesting."

"Ok?"

Lin Ran's pace quickened again, and she soon walked in front of Gu Heng. The pleasant voice came out of her mouth again.

"I've seen many men like you who are dominated by their lower bodies, but without exception, once their dirty thoughts are exposed, they either deny it vehemently or are embarrassed and ashamed. You are the first one who is so shameless."

Listening to Lin Ran's words, Gu Heng smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.
The Huanghelou 1916, which costs yuan per pack, is smoother to smoke than the Pu'an, which costs yuan per pack.

Smoke and water vapor came out of his mouth.
“That’s because you and I are in contact with different people, in other words, we are in different circles.

I am what netizens call a low-level loser. Of course, my friends are all this kind of people. They can be proud of the fact that they spent hundreds of dollars on prostitution last night, and then share it with me with a smile.

But the people you know are probably all so-called upper-class people, right? They certainly need to maintain their glorious and lofty image as superior people, so it is normal for them to be a little sanctimonious.
When my thoughts reach the level of those people one day, I will be as hypocritical as them, to be honest with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran turned around curiously and looked at Gu Heng, and asked back: "You said you are a loser? A loser who drives a luxury car worth millions and lives in a villa worth nearly 10,000 yuan a night?"

Gu Heng had already guessed that Lin Ran would ask this question, and shrugged without any surprise: "Then you can just treat me as a nouveau riche who can win the jackpot every day, which is about the same idea."

Since obtaining the system, Gu Heng has never thought about hiding his past from anyone.

It's not necessary.

I am a commoner, why do I have to pretend to be rich and noble? Besides, even if I try to pretend, it will be like a fool trying to imitate a fool. I can't really pretend.
Which of the second-generation rich people's nobleness was not nurtured by money since childhood? There is a saying that "three generations of officials learn how to eat and dress". This thing wants to change overnight, unless the system can give itself something like [Behavior and Temperament Cultivation Instrument].

But unfortunately, the system didn't give me this thing.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Ran excitedly turned on the camera in his hand, turned back and said to Gu Heng: "This is it!"

Hearing this, Gu Heng raised his head and glanced at the billboard with the lights still flashing.

【Nanhe Folk Song Tavern】

Seeing the name of the tavern, Gu Heng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nanhe Tavern, the name is good, it's a difficult tavern to drink in."

Hearing Gu Heng's complaints, Lin Ran immediately retorted: "What do you know? Nanhe Tavern is very famous. Many folk singers often come here to perform for free. It is one of the popular check-in spots in Wuzhen!"

Gu Heng shrugged: "Anyway, I can't appreciate any folk songs. I still like those sleazy songs by internet celebrities on TikTok. Telling me these is like playing the lute to a cow~"

As he spoke, he hummed the tune of the BGM "Pendulum" which was very popular some time ago.

"Tsk! Vulgar!"

"What is vulgar? You have your highbrow culture, and I have my lowbrow culture. You drink coffee elegantly, but I eat garlic, which is vulgar?"

"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you! Go in quickly, I don't know if it's full."

After saying that, he pulled Gu Heng inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Heng could instantly feel the difference between a pub and a nightclub.
There is no noisy atmosphere like in a nightclub, only the quiet singing of the singers on the stage, no smoke and alcohol smell, only the unique fishy smell of the Jiangnan water town.
“Are there any tables available now?”

Lin Ran asked anxiously towards the bar as soon as he entered the door.

The bartender who was mixing drinks shook his head and said, "You're a little late. The last table has been cleared away just now. But you can sit at the bar first. I'll remind you when a table is available."

After hearing what the bartender said, Lin Ran replied in annoyance, then turned around and stared at Gu Heng with a bad face: "It's all your fault! You were wasting time in the hotel, and now there's no table!"

Gu Heng was too lazy to argue with her.

If she hadn't been walking slowly on the road with a broken camera, taking pictures here and there, she would have arrived long ago.
But women, no matter what kind of women they are, will never admit any other mistakes in their lives except admitting that they married the wrong person. There is no point in arguing with her.

"Since there's no room left, let's go back. Aren't you tired after walking around all day?"

Gu Heng was happy to see this. Since there were no seats left, he might as well go back and think of a way to discuss the mystery of life with Fang Xun.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'm telling you, no!
Let's sit at the bar first, and when the two hours are up, we'll go back."

Gu Heng could only sigh helplessly: "After this is over, I hope that we will never have any contact in this life. Women like you are really annoying."

Lin Ran didn't get angry when listening to Gu Heng's complaints, but instead blinked playfully.

"Whether there is any intersection, it is hard to say~"
