The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 20 The Clown
Wang Hao felt a chill run down his spine as Gu Heng stared at him with such a gaze, and inexplicably took a half-step back.

"Indeed, indeed, we were careless in this matter."

Wang Hao touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject: "So what are you doing now? You seem to be doing well."

"Unemployed."

Gu Heng was too lazy to waste any more words with Wang Hao. He gave him a casual reply and then prepared to leave with the Helena Rubinstein gift box he had just bought.

Liu Nanyi, who had been chatting happily with Gu Heng, quietly moved to the side.

If Liu Nanyi had some feelings for Gu Heng just now, thinking that he was both handsome and rich, she might consider getting to know him better.

After Wang Hao returned and learned about the other party's situation, his feelings towards that person faded considerably.

Is a top university student dating a high school dropout?
He could also be a food delivery driver, or perhaps the boyfriend of an unemployed person?
If this gets out, won't her classmates and friends laugh at her to death?
Liu Nanyi gently bit the straw of the BaWang ChaJi tea, her mind racing with thoughts.

"Ta Tata..."

However, just as Gu Heng turned around, picked up the five Helena Rubinstein gift boxes, and prepared to leave, the crisp sound of high heels on the marble floor grew louder and louder.

The person who arrived was none other than Luo Xiwen.

At this moment, she was carrying two bags of drinks from BaWangChaJi, looking at the three girls who had inexplicably appeared beside Gu Heng, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.

From morning till night, Gu Heng was always surrounded by beautiful girls, each one younger and more elegant than the last.

'but……'

'He doesn't look too good.'

Having worked at China Merchants Bank for four years, Luo Xiwen had naturally developed a knack for reading people. When she noticed that Gu Heng's expression was unusual, she swallowed back the words "Gu Heng" that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Mr. Gu, I'm back."

"I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered one of the four best-selling drinks from BaWang ChaJi for you. You can try them all."

Ignoring the surprised looks from others, Luo Xiwen quickly walked to Gu Heng's side, her gentle voice filled with respect.

Mr. Gu?
As Luo Xiwen finished speaking, Liu Nanyi and the other two women, as well as Wang Hao, were all stunned. None of them had expected that such a dignified and elegant mature woman would be Gu Heng's subordinate.

what is happening?
Didn't he just say he delivers takeout?

So what's the deal with this beautiful and sophisticated mature woman in front of me?

Looking at Gu Heng, who had a calm expression, Liu Nanyi, Su Tang, and Feng Yao suddenly felt as if a layer of mist had enveloped him.

Is he a high school dropout working as a food delivery driver?
Or is he a wealthy and powerful boss?

Which identity is the real him?

On the other side, Wang Hao looked at Luo Xiwen's dignified and pretty face, and then at the bag of BaWangChaJi drinks she was carrying.

Suddenly, he felt like a clown in front of Gu Heng.

Liu Nanyi and her friends wanted to drink milk tea, so they waited in line in front of them, looking miserable.

Gu Heng wanted to drink milk tea, but a top-tier beauty like Luo Xiwen was there to queue up for him.

Mudd!

Damn it!

What makes Gu Heng so special?!

At that moment, jealousy almost caused Wang Hao to lose Li Zhi.

I gritted my teeth until they were shattered, but I still couldn't figure out why.

"Just give me any drink."

When Gu Heng saw Luo Xiwen return, his expression softened slightly.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiwen quickly took out a cup of Wanli Mulan from the drink bag, then proactively inserted the straw for Gu Heng before handing it to him.

Their attentiveness was so great that they practically fed Gu Heng the milk themselves.

During this process, Shen Jia, the personal shopper who had just helped Gu Heng deliver the items, returned. "Mr. Gu, let me do it."

When Shen Jia saw the Helena Rubinstein gift box in Gu Heng's hand, she immediately took it from him.

Gu Heng did not refuse.

"Let's go."

Gu Heng gestured to Shen Jia and Luo Xiwen, then walked towards the Helena Rubinstein brand counter.

As for Wang Hao and the three girls, Liu Nanyi, they didn't even glance at them again.

That blatant indifference caused a great sense of loss for the three girls who were usually the center of attention.

"Why are you still angry...?"

"I didn't say anything, is it really that big of a deal?"

After Gu Heng and the others had gone far away, Wang Hao couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself.

"Wang Hao, what's going on with your classmate?"

Feng Yao, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly asked a question, and after she did, Su Tang and Liu Nanyi also turned to look at her curiously.

"His parents divorced when we were in junior high school..."

Facing the inquisitive gazes of the three girls, Wang Hao didn't hide anything and briefly recounted Gu Heng's experience.

"So that's it..."

After the three girls learned the reason, they realized that they had completely guessed the situation wrong.

"So, after graduating from junior high school, the other person started working to support themselves? And now it seems they've even achieved some success through their own efforts and become a self-made millionaire?"

Liu Nanyi's cherry lips parted slightly. She hadn't expected that the boy who was the same age as her had such a difficult background, and she hadn't expected that he could achieve such a turnaround in just three years.

From a penniless young man to a wealthy and beautiful boss.

Such an experience would undoubtedly have a great impact on these girls who were studying in an orderly manner.

"Maybe……"

In response to Liu Nanyi's murmur, Wang Hao gave a muffled reply.

His sense of superiority as a student from a prestigious university was completely shattered in front of Gu Heng.

"It's probably just a little bit of money..."

Wang Hao watched Liu Nanyi drink the milk tea he had painstakingly queued up to buy, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Heng. The shadow of the past once again enveloped him, making him mutter with a sour tone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Nanyi and the other two women glanced at Wang Hao, but remained silent and did not respond.

Small money?

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that such a dignified and elegant beauty could not have been treated with such respect by someone with a little money.

However, even though they knew, Wang Hao was, after all, their classmate from the same school, and he had just gone to the trouble of queuing up to buy them milk tea. So, even if they felt a little resentful, they pretended not to hear him.

"Yiyi, Tangtang, I just saw a long queue at the LV store in Zhuozhan. It seems like they have a lot of limited edition bags in stock. Shall we go check it out?"

Feng Yao noticed that the sales assistant's gaze had fallen on her again. Worried that the sales assistant would bring up the old issue again, she quickly suggested to her two roommates that...

"Wow, wow!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Nanyi immediately perked up and enthusiastically echoed her sentiments.

"Let's go."

Su Tang nodded, indicating that she had no objection.

As for Wang Hao...

As everyone knows, a "nice guy" is even worse than a simp.

Naturally, whatever the girls say goes.
