Chapter 38 I Don’t Want to Associate with Rich People

Li Wenhao looked straight at Gu Meichan. "Actually, when I was in school, I was very curious. Is your family rich?"

Gu Meichan was surprised. "You really don't know who I am? Or are you pretending not to know? Even if you didn't know before, you should know now, right? Didn't Yuyu tell you?"

Li Wenhao: "Tell me what?"

Gu Meichan was surprised, "No way, she really didn't tell you?"

Li Wenhao: "Who are you?"

Gu Meichan was troubled. "Well, our family is indeed very rich. My father is the founder of Gu Group. You know Gu Group, right? Don't say you don't know who is the richest family in Jiangbei City."

Li Wenhao was stunned and his whole body was stiff.

Gu Meichan: "Li Wenhao, you don't have to be so exaggerated. Even though my family is rich, I am still the same Gu Meichan as before."

Li Wenhao: "You mean, our daughter, Yingying, married into a wealthy family, like in the TV series?"

Gu Meichan: "...Well, that's true. Yun Chi is my eldest brother's son and the eldest grandson. However, he is very rebellious and doesn't like being controlled by my grandfather and my brother, so he ran away to start his own business."

"The club I told you about was opened by Yun Chi and I. It has nothing to do with the Gu family."

Li Wenhao said: "But you two are family-oriented people."

Gu Meichan: “Yes.”

Li Wenhao was silent for a moment and replied: "I'm sorry, I can't take you home. I believe you can get home safely without me. Also, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't go to your club."

Gu Meichan: "...Can you tell me why?"

Li Wenhao paused and said calmly: "Because I don't want to associate with rich people."

Gu Meichan watched Li Wenhao scan the shared electric bike and run away impatiently. She was really confused and shouted at the top of her voice: "What's wrong with being rich? I've only seen discrimination against poor people, but I didn't expect there is discrimination against rich people."

On the way home, Gu Meichan became more and more angry, and called Gu Yunchi: "Gu Yunchi, I'm telling you, be careful, your uncle, Yuyu, discriminates against rich people."

Gu Yunchi was having dinner with Shen Lingxiao. When he heard this, his brows knitted together, "Aunt, can you explain it more clearly?"

Gu Meichan said incoherently: "It was Li Wenhao just now...it was Yuyu's uncle, his name is Li Wenhao. He just came downstairs with me, saw my Porsche, and asked if our family was rich."

"I told him the truth, but who knew he'd get so upset after hearing it. He said he wouldn't take me home and wouldn't apply for the chef position at our club tomorrow. What do you think is wrong with him? Doesn't he like money?"

Gu Yunchi didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only reply: "Aunt, don't be so angry. Let me go back to see my uncle and talk to him. Maybe he had some unpleasant experiences in the past."

Gu Meichan: "Is that so? Has he ever been hunted by a rich man?"

Gu Yunchi: "Okay, aunt, stop guessing. Let me ask Yuyu. I'll hang up first."

Lan Yu was about to take a shower and rest when she saw Gu Yunchi's video call and quickly picked up the phone. "Are you free?"

Gu Yunchi: "Well, I was having dinner with Ling Xiao, and my aunt called me."

Lan Yu: "Oh, I asked my uncle to send her back."

Gu Yunchi hesitated for a moment and said, "My aunt said that my uncle was angry and left."

Lan Yu was surprised: "Why?"

Gu Yunchi: "My uncle asked my aunt if our family was rich. My aunt told him the truth, and my uncle seemed to be very frightened. Do you know why? Why doesn't my uncle like rich people?"

Lan Yu frowned. "I don't know. My uncle likes traveling around the world. He occasionally sends me postcards to let me know he's safe. He never told me he doesn't like rich people. So, should I ask him?"

"No need for now," Gu Yunchi stopped him, "There's no need to disturb your uncle for now. I believe he has his reasons. We can find a chance to find out later. There's no need to ask him specifically now."

Lan Yu didn't expect that Li Wenhao would ring the doorbell early the next morning.

Carrying the flour and chives in her hands, she said as she walked into the house: "I bought flour and made chive omelets for you. Have breakfast before going to work. I saw that you have a coffee machine at home, so you can make coffee to go with it."

Lan Yu was embarrassed, "Uncle, I don't know how to use a coffee machine, so I usually buy coffee outside."

Li Wenhao: "How do you usually live?"

Lan Yu: "Ah... I basically stay in the hospital all the time, busy like a top."

Li Wenhao felt distressed after hearing this and said, "You go and do your own thing, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Oh, then I'll go wash my face, brush my teeth and change clothes first." Lan Yu quickly ran away. When she returned to the restaurant again, there were two cups of coffee, a plate of omelets, and a plate of vegetable salad on the table.

Li Wenhao handed her a fork and said, "The omelet tastes better when eaten hot. I was afraid you would feel sick of it, so I made a salad for you."

Lan Yu held up her chin and looked at Li Wenhao, saying with a smile: "Uncle, if any girl marries you, she will be very happy."

Li Wenhao: "Don't give me that. Just consider this as the rent I give you. I might have to stay here for a while longer. Once I find a job and get paid, I'll find a place to move out. Your hospital won't say anything, right?"

Lan Yu: "No, that was allocated to me. As long as I am still in this hospital, they will not take it back. Uncle, you can rest assured. If you get your salary, save it and use it to get married in the future."

Li Wenhao: "I will never get married, not in this life."

"Why?" Lan Yu frowned and looked at Li Wenhao. "Uncle, tell me the truth. Do you have any physical or mental problems? My husband told me last night that you still hate the rich. Why do you hate rich people?"

Li Wenhao stuffed a piece of egg pancake into his mouth and said angrily: "Because they are too hypocritical. I am telling you this now, but you may not believe me. Yuyu, your uncle came here today to tell you something."

Lan Yu: "What?"

Li Wenhao: "If you haven't married yet, I would definitely object, but since you are already married, then forget it. But remember, don't give your true heart to others, so as not to be sad and regretful in the future."

"Also, don't take a man's sweet words too seriously, just listen to them. You must remain independent so that if he wants to divorce you in the future, you won't be left with nowhere to go."

Lan Yu pondered Li Wenhao's words, took a sip of coffee, and asked curiously, "Uncle, did you ever have a rich girlfriend abroad? Were you dumped?"

Li Wenhao shook his head and said, "It's not me. I'm not that stupid. It's a good friend of mine. He was dating a rich girl. After they got married, he found out that she was dating several men."

"My friend couldn't accept it and committed suicide. As a result, the woman turned around and remarried another man. So, rich people are really bad. They just like to play tricks on us poor people."

"Don't tell me your husband is different. You are in the honeymoon period now. Wait until the honeymoon period is over and see. Any fox will show its tail. Maybe your husband is dating several women at the same time."
