Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Comparing People Can Be Maddening, Comparing Goods Makes You Want to Throw Them Away

Han Jingting started to worry, "Then what should we do? Zhong Ling is going to get engaged to that Guo Gongcheng tomorrow, doesn’t that mean she will be deceived!"

"No way, I’m going to call Zhong Ling right now and tell her she must not get engaged to that scammer!"

As Han Jingting picked up her phone to call Zhong Ling directly, she was stopped by Chen Xuan.

"Zhong Ling is already so blinded by happiness, if you call her now, she won’t believe you. She might even think that you are jealous of her!"

"The result will be that you won’t be able to persuade her, and you might even damage your sisters’ relationship!"

Through what had happened during the day, Chen Xuan had realized that Zhong Ling had been deeply tricked by Guo Gongcheng, and she had complete trust in him. It would be impossible for her to listen to anyone else.

Han Jingting was stunned, "Then what do you suggest we do now?"

Chen Xuan thought for a moment, "How about this, let’s wait until we see Zhong Ling tomorrow and tell her in person. It will be more credible that way!"

Han Jingting nodded, "Alright, let’s do that!"

The next day, Chen Xuan and Han Jingting caught a flight to Jiang City.

The engagement party was being held at a hot springs holiday hotel on the outskirts of Jiang City.

The whole holiday hotel specialized in hot springs and health, with a very stylish setting, nestled between mountains and forests, and the environment was very nice.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, Zhong Ling and Guo Gongcheng were already waiting there.

Gu Ruirui, also a college classmate of Han Jingting, and her boyfriend Sun Jun had also arrived.

"Jingting, you’re finally here!"

The moment she saw Han Jingting, Zhong Ling was overjoyed.

However, the next moment, when Zhong Ling saw Chen Xuan standing beside her, her face turned sour.

"Jingting, why did you bring him along!"

Her voice was filled with complaints and dissatisfaction.

Guo Gongcheng said with an arrogant look, "Let it be, Zhong Ling, they’re here now, it wouldn’t be nice to send them away, would it?"

"Didn’t he look down on me last time? Today is just the right opportunity for him to see my strength!"

Zhong Ling said triumphantly, "You’re just so magnanimous, Gongcheng, not like some people, whose jealousy is just too strong!"

When Zhong Ling said this, her eyes were on Chen Xuan, obviously with a pointed meaning.

Chen Xuan smiled wryly in his heart, they say a girl in love has zero IQ, and it seems to be not an exaggeration at all.

He was clearly well-intentioned, but Zhong Ling took it as jealousy, which left him quite helpless.

Han Jingting also felt secretly relieved in her heart, thankful that she had listened to Chen Xuan the day before and hadn’t directly called Zhong Ling to tell her Guo Gongcheng was a fraud. Otherwise, she might have been regarded as an enemy by Zhong Ling too.

At this time, Guo Gongcheng and Zhong Ling led everyone into the holiday hotel.

"President Guo!"

"President Guo!"

Along the way, the staff of the hotel greeted Guo Gongcheng eagerly.

Gu Ruirui was puzzled, "Zhong Ling, how come everyone here knows your boyfriend?"

Zhong Ling said with pride, "I forgot to tell you, this whole hot springs hotel is run by Gongcheng, he’s the boss here!"

"My goodness, really?!"

"Running such a big hotel must cost a lot of money, right?!"

Gu Ruirui was amazed.

"Not too much, just a few billion I guess."

Guo Gongcheng spoke with a casual air that was pure Versailles.

"A few billion? Just that?!"

Gu Ruirui’s eyes were so wide they nearly dropped to the floor.

After all, Gu Ruirui came from an ordinary family, and her boyfriend Sun Jun was just a regular office worker, earning less than ten thousand a month.

To them, a few billion was astronomical, a height they couldn’t hope to reach in their lifetimes.

Yet for Guo Gongcheng, such a sum seemed hardly worth mentioning.

The gap between people was just too huge!

Gu Ruirui glared venomously at Sun Jun beside her, her eyes filled with reproach as if to say, look at him and then look at you!

Sun Jun, knowing he was at fault, hung his head and dared not make a sound.

Seeing Sun Jun’s defeated posture only fueled Gu Ruirui’s discontent.

In terms of looks, in terms of temperament, she didn’t consider herself inferior to Zhong Ling at all. Yet in the end, the boyfriend Zhong Ling had found was countless times better than hers, which made Gu Ruirui very bitter.

Sometimes Gu Ruirui wondered if she should dump the underachieving Sun Jun and find someone better, someone who truly matched her worth?

At that moment, Zhong Ling turned to Chen Xuan, "You see, this is the gap between you and Gongcheng! What do you say now, do you still dare to accuse Gongcheng of bragging?"

"Let me tell you, just because you aren’t capable doesn’t mean everyone else is as incapable as you are! Hmph!"

Zhong Ling had now instinctively started defending Guo Gongcheng.

In fact, her defense wasn’t just of Guo Gongcheng; she was actually defending herself.

To her, Guo Gongcheng was her pride, her capital for showing off in front of her friends. Anyone who dared disparage Guo Gongcheng was, in her eyes, simply jealous of her!

Chen Xuan felt quite helpless in the face of Zhong Ling’s protective attitude.

However, if the hot spring hotel really did belong to Guo Gongcheng, then it was a good thing.

It meant that although Guo Gongcheng loved to boast, at least he had some assets, and Zhong Ling wouldn’t have to endure a hard life with him.

Han Jingting felt complicated. She randomly blocked a few remarks for Chen Xuan, so Zhong Ling didn’t pursue the matter any further.

Soon after, Chen Xuan and others arrived inside a private room in a separate courtyard.

Outside the window was a bamboo forest, and among the bamboo, a hot spring emanated steam, creating a rather beautiful environment!

The so-called engagement feast today was really just a gathering of Han Jingting, Gu Ruirui and their close friends.

The actual engagement feast would be held tomorrow.

"President Guo, you start off with a few billion just like that. With such generosity, you must have made a lot of money, right?" Sun Jun asked curiously.

Guo Gongcheng still had a nonchalant demeanor, "It’s alright, I don’t have much money, just tens of billions, that’s all."

"Apart from this hot spring hotel, I’ve already been discussing acquisition matters with the owner of Jinxiu City in Huai City."

"It won’t be long before I’ll also take a stab at the real estate industry."

Guo Gongcheng’s casual tone left Sun Jun and the others tongue-tied.

A net worth of tens of billions, talking about taking a play into the real estate industry – that’s what a real rich person is, that’s what a true success story looks like!

Sun Jun was green with envy.

There he was, so young, yet already a billionaire boss undertaking billion-dollar projects at will.

And then there was himself; years after graduating, he was still just a worker, unable to produce even tens of thousands, let alone billions.

Indeed, comparing oneself to others will only lead to disappointment, and measuring one’s goods against others’ will only highlight one’s own inferiority!
