4187 The Other Side 156

"Of course not!" Gu Jinglian said, "I'm thinking of buying a villa here. In the future, we can then come whenever we want and stay for however long we wish. As long as you like the idea!"

Inevitably, Chu He felt extremely pampered. Of course, Gu Jinglian doted on her after they got married. However, proclaiming that he'd buy a villa here just because she said that she liked this place was just a little too…

Chu He asked tentatively, "The villas here must be expensive!?"

"I've heard that some of the private islands are up for sale."

Chu He was stumped when she heard this. "I've heard that villas here sell at sky-high prices. Private islands must cost a fortune."

Gu Jinglian smiled. "If you like it, it has its value!"

The woman couldn't help but laugh at his remark. "Actually, there's no need for this! It's good enough that you have this intention! If you wish to come here again in the future to have some fun, we'll find the opportunity to do so! After all, how many times can you come here? Spending that sort of money is too extravagant and wasteful."

Gu Jinglian found her thinking objectionable, however he did not take her too seriously. Ultimately, Chu He and he were different individuals, and there was a huge difference between them when it came to spending habits.

Chu He had been through tough times, during which she only had a base salary of two thousand a month and overtime work brought her a few hundred more. On top of that, she had to raise Baby Chu single handedly. One could only imagine how difficult that period of time had been.

And as a child, Chu He had experienced a life of displacement. She stayed in a refugee camp where people had to fight over a small piece of bread. Sometimes, she ended up with only scraps and had to endure a night of painful hunger.

So money had always been precious to her.

After marrying Gu Jinglian, to put it in a tacky manner, one could say she had achieved instant success. If one wanted a definition of getting rich overnight, this was it.

Gu Jinglian was so rich that he had no idea what his own net worth was. However, Chu He simply could not get used to a life of luxury. She was an optimistic person by nature, and enjoyed hard work. And being used to hardship, she always felt as though she was living in poverty. Living her life honestly made her feel at ease.

Chu He was a very independent woman. She never liked to depend on others. Gu Jinglian did not allow her to hold a job, as he felt that the Gu family was able to support all of them. However, Chu He was not used to living off a man, and it took a while to convince her.

But Gu Jinglian was different.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Back then, when having 10,000 yuan was considered an upper-class household, the same amount was probably his pocket money for a week as a primary school kid. Old Master Gu was willing to give him more than ten 100-yuan bills a day. This was a treatment that no one else had.

At that time, the other children in the class would at most be given a few cents of spending money a day, 50 cents was considered a luxury.

The difference was obvious.

Therefore, Gu Jinglian, who had grown up in such an advantageous environment, naturally had no concept of the value of money. To him, a Gucci bag worth tens of thousands of yuan was equivalent to the price of a meal for ordinary folks.

Ever since she married Gu Jinglian, Chu He's every word and action gave him a throbbing headache.

She developed an obsession with online shopping. Ever since she learned how to shop online, she had gotten used to trawling through the online shops, bulk buying anything she thought was of reasonable quality.
