Chapter 23: Memories of Gu Ya
Chapter 23
Her grandfather did odd jobs and her grandmother farmed to barely raise Gu Ya and her siblings.
She studied very hard because her teacher told her that in order to change her fate, she had to study diligently. If she was admitted to university, she could find a decent job in the city and settle there as a city resident, never having to live in hardship again.
One day, the neighbor's sister came back in a luxury car.
She also brought back a handsome and wealthy boyfriend.
Word was they were going to get married.
The neighbor's sister's boyfriend bought many things for Gu Ya's uncle and gave them a lot of money.
She envied the neighbor's sister very much, and also wanted to marry a handsome and rich man. That way, she wouldn't have to live in hardship either.
So in addition to studying diligently, she also wanted to marry a wealthy man.
Because of her outstanding grades, a kindhearted person noticed her and sponsored her university education.
In order to marry a rich man, she kept herself pure and chaste.
At university, she fell in love with a senior student, but when she found out his family was just ordinary working-class, she decisively gave him up.
Because the senior didn't meet her "wealthy" criteria.
In order to find the wealthy man of her dreams, she didn't have a single romantic relationship.
But where could she easily find such a wealthy man?
First, she wasn't breathtakingly beautiful, just average-looking.
Also, truly wealthy tycoons weren't people she could get access to.
So after graduating university for several years, she still hadn't found a wealthy man.
She heard wealthy men liked to go to the gym to work out, so she got a gym membership and started going regularly, hoping to meet a wealthy man there.
But after understanding things for a while, she was utterly disappointed. The men at the gym were at most white-collar workers, still far from her ideal of "wealthy."
She then heard that real wealthy people enjoyed golfing.
So she turned her sights to the golf course.
She originally wanted to get a membership card for the golf course, but those membership cards were too expensive. The cheapest yearly one was 300,000 RMB!
She didn't have that much money!
Although she had been working for a few years, in order to attract wealthy men's attention, she hadn't saved much money because she spent a lot to dress herself up.
So she didn't have much savings.
Without a membership card, it cost over 1,000 RMB to golf once.
Her previous monthly salary was just around 8,000 RMB.
If she went golfing a few times a month, her whole salary would be gone.
What to do?
If she didn't go, she wouldn't meet wealthy people.
She had no choice but to put it on her credit card.
Fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent.
Finally at the golf course she met a wealthy man - Tang Guangyao.
Who is now her husband.
Young, handsome men didn't look twice at her.
So she turned her attention to middle-aged men.
She went golfing a few times and noticed Tang Guangyao also came to play regularly. She took the initiative to chat with Tang Guangyao, and after some back and forth, they got acquainted.
But how could a man Tang Guangyao's age not already have a wife?
When Gu Ya first met Tang Guangyao, he was married.
Not only did he have a wife, he had a mistress and another lover too.
Gu Ya definitely didn't want to be the fifth woman.
So when she learned Tang Guangyao was married, she decisively gave up.
After that, she met several more wealthy older men.
But she discovered these wealthy old men not only had wives, but also many lovers.
