4636 Never Too Late to Love (43)

That was as much as Yun Tianyou could stomach. His handsome face was filled with disdain.

"Gu Chengze, do you want me to warn you not to push your luck? Don't tell me you're getting married just for the Maybach and the 50 per cent discount?"

Gu Chengze ignored him and snapped his fingers. "It's settled then."

"Wait."

Gu Chengze raised an eyebrow. "Why? Are you going back on your word?"

"No." Yun Tianyou snorted. "I'll keep my word. I can't ruin my reputation. But is she going to be here on the weekend?"

"Who?"

"Who do you think?"

Gu Chengze realized that the "she" he was referring to was Bai Sheng. "She'll be there."

"Are you paying the full amount or taking a loan?"

"Full amount."

Yun Tianyou felt a little better. If this guy couldn't pay for the house with a 50 per cent discount, he'd kick him out of the office immediately.

Upon leaving the Shengyu Building, Gu Chengze was secretly delighted as he recalled the boy's pained expression earlier. Ever since he was young, Yun Tianyou had almost always suppressed him and bullied him. Now that he had suffered such a huge loss, Gu Chengze finally felt vindicated.

Just as he got into the car, Bai Sheng's call came in. Gu Chengze picked up the call and heard her cautious voice on the other end.

"Cheng… Hubby, I have something to discuss with you."

The way she addressed him was extremely pleasing to his ears. "What is it? What's up?"

"Um, can we put the matter of buying a house aside for now?"

Bai Sheng's mumbling made his heart ache for some reason. He was a little confused. "What's wrong?"

"I've asked around. The Chunjiang Tianxi property is really expensive! I don't have much money now. I would like to take on a loan to help you, but I'm afraid I can't afford it. Hubby, it doesn't matter where we live. I just don't want you to bear so much pressure…"

She finally mustered her courage and told him how she felt. She felt sorry for him, and it was not worthwhile that he had to carry a debt in order to buy them a house.

Gu Chengze was greatly moved when he heard this. Did this silly girl really think that he was an ordinary working class citizen? However, he did not tell her his identity.

Sheng'er…

The intimate nickname was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bear to say it aloud. He was afraid that she had forgotten him. This was one of the concerns. But more than that, he didn't want her to be with him only because of the memories of their youth. He wanted to start over with her.

However, he didn't lie. Strictly speaking, he was indeed receiving a salary from the Gu Corporation. The CEO position was a transient one and he was indeed paid an annual salary. But as far as she could understand, working class referred to the sort of employee who earned a few thousand yuan a month.

Gu Chengze laughed and said, "Who said I was taking up a loan? I'm prepared to pay it off in full."

"In full?"

"Yes. I've already negotiated the deal. I can get the house at a 50 per cent discount. This way, I'll save a lot of money. Don't worry, there's no pressure. Don't worry."

…

Bai Sheng hung up the call in a daze and looked at the computer screen, feeling terrible.

Full payment!? Even with a 50 per cent discount, it was a huge sum! Most locals would have to sell their ancestral property to afford it. Where did he get so much money?

He told her not to worry, but she was still extremely worried. She felt that buying a house was not as simple as he made it out to be!
