And just as they had predicted...
With He Jing and Lin Jiayun present, Xu Hong paid regard to Gu Heng's face and wouldn't let loose on him...
But as soon as they left, Xu Hong no longer indulged him...
Pointing at Gu Heng's nose, she launched a torrent of scolding—treating money like dirt, a profligate son—such words cascaded out, one after another.
Gu Heng didn't argue back but just listened with a smile...
He could tell that Xu Hong wasn't truly angry, she was just reluctant to part with the money...
Sure enough, after a bit of scolding, Xu Hong settled down. Although by her views on spending, a million for a piece of clothing was an outrageous rip-off, how could she not be happy if her son had his parents in mind?
Gu Heng, looking at his conflicted mother, figured he would get a speaking-to sooner or later and decided to spill all the sensational news at once.
