Chapter 181 - 111 Why do you have to force me to show off?_3
Seeing Xu Ying leave, Gu Heng turned his head and smiled at Gu Xinran.
"Not bad!"
After finishing, Gu Xinran turned her gaze towards Yu Qianqian and Leyi, "Qianqian, Leyi, why don’t you go back first? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be at our class gathering tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Leyi quickly responded in a pitiful tone, "So it’s like this, Gu Xinran, you don’t want your sisters anymore now that you have your brother, whine~ I’m so sad~"
Just as Gu Xinran was about to explain, Yu Qianqian spoke up, "Let’s go together; I also want to check out Patek Philippe."
She then turned her gaze to Gu Heng, "Can Brother Xinran take us to experience it?"
Yu Qianqian was the type who was straightforward...
Perhaps it was her good family background combined with her good looks that had shaped her direct nature from a young age...
This type of personality, to put it nicely, is frank and natural; to put it unpleasantly, it is disregard for others’ feelings.
If she were an ordinary girl, this kind of personality would probably make her disliked.
But unfortunately...
She was a beauty, and in an era where simps prevail, beauties always have privileges.
When Gu Heng heard Yu Qianqian’s words, he nodded and said, "Of course we can, it’s also my first time visiting such a top-tier luxury shop, so let’s gain some experience together."
Yu Qianqian didn’t take Gu Heng’s words seriously...
After all, how could a man who could casually spend over 250,000 on his sister and wore an Ice Blue Daytona possibly have never been to a top luxury store?
She just assumed Gu Heng was being considerate of their feelings...
She really did want to gain some experience...
She quite liked watches, owning two variants herself...
However, they were just two ordinary Cartier watches, totaling just over 60,000, not even one tenth of Gu Heng’s Ice Blue Daytona...
Forget about her, even the Earl watch her father wore was only worth a bit over 300,000...
She couldn’t afford a super brand like Patek Philippe, but having someone take her to experience it was also a nice experience... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After more traveling...
Guided by the navigation, Gu Heng drove the Toyota Alphard to the banks of the Huangpu River...
As the car stopped, Xu Ying came to the door until Gu Heng opened the electric door, then slowly started speaking, "According to the address information given by Patek Philippe Origin Mansion, that small mansion building up ahead is it."
Hearing this, Gu Heng looked in the direction Xu Ying pointed...
A villa with countryside charm was dotted amongst dazzling lights, just across the river from the Oriental Pearl Tower where Gu Heng lived... This feeling was quite novel... It was because in such a bustling and noisy place, there existed a villa so out of place with its surroundings, immersing oneself in it felt like escaping from all the hustle and bustle of the city, peaceful and secluded.
Honestly...
Even before entering Patek Philippe, that kind of prestige had already taken root in Gu Heng’s mind...
After getting out of the car, just then Yu Qianqian also pulled up in her Mercedes C200...
After getting out of the car, Gu Xinran couldn’t help but ask, "Bro, are we here?"
"We are."
Hearing this, Gu Xinran looked around puzzledly, "Where is it, I don’t see it?"
Yu Qianqian, who had already parked the car, explained, "That mansion up ahead."
Gu Xinran: "???"
If Yu Qianqian hadn’t mentioned it, she would have thought it was just a fancy villa for the wealthy...
Xu Ying also timely joined in to clarify, "That’s right, apart from counters in major malls, Patek Philippe only has two proprietary stores, named Shanghai Patek Philippe Origin Mansion and Capital City Patek Philippe Origin Mansion.
It’s somewhat akin to the salons that Patek Philippe has opened in Geneva, London, and Paris, just renamed to suit our Chinese culture."
Hmm...
Useless luxury knowledge seems to have increased a bit...
Gu Heng thought to himself and then interjected to halt the conversation, "Alright, let’s go over there."
Just as they reached the gate, a middle-aged Western man performed a strangely formal greeting and began speaking in fluent Chinese: "Welcome to Patek Philippe Origin Mansion.
Are you Mr. Gu who made the reservation just now?"
"Yes, it’s me."
"We’ve been expecting you for a while now, and I’m very happy to serve you."
With that, he gestured for Gu Heng to enter.
You see, they were right when they said ’the customer is God,’ a phrase first coined by the West...
With this level of service attitude, he’s much humbler than the sales associates in other luxury stores, with just a few words, this Westerner was bending over backwards, practically licking Gu Heng’s shoes...
Recall the days when Shanghai was a concession and there were signs excluding Chinese and dogs...
As a true and devoted successor to socialism...
Seeing the Westerner’s posture, patriotic feelings surged all at once.
From another perspective, wasn’t this also a weird way of bringing glory to his country?
Under the Westerner’s guidance, Gu Heng and Yu Qianqian, among others, walked into the villa.
The villa’s interior space was vast, directly visible upon entry was an extremely luxurious hall, elaborate lighting emitting a piercing light, with tall walls on all sides casting deep shadows on the soft carpet.
The floor paved with black marble, tiles as shiny as mirrors, luxurious crystal chandeliers, glistening pure black wooden tables with shiny surfaces, imported brand-name cushion chairs, and finely carved details made the entire hall appear exceptionally luxurious and elegant.
If it weren’t for the display stands established around, Gu Heng would have thought he walked into some mogul’s home...
After Gu Heng entered, another two people came to receive them...
One was a Westerner, the other had a face from Hua Country...
What do you think?
