Chapter 391: The Emperor Must Use a Golden Shoulder Pole to Carry Manure
It was difficult for Gao Qianqian and Gao Bin to explain what they were feeling, but when they came to their senses, they had already arrived at the birthday party.
The spacious and bright banquet hall can accommodate one to two hundred people. The white and gold color scheme makes people feel like they are in a palace in a fairy tale.
The red carpet was laid out neatly, extending from the entrance to the banquet hall. Exquisite flowers were displayed, and the delicate petals seemed to have crystal dewdrops on them, which looked like gems under the refraction of light.
The huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling has a unique and complex shape, and its Baroque style is so valuable that you can tell at a glance.
Directly below the crystal chandelier is a small indoor fountain, the gushing water droplets are filled with a pleasant wine aroma.
The tables around are self-service, with expensive-looking tableware and exquisite snacks placed on the white tablecloths.
Handsome waiters in uniform shuttled among the guests, serving wine or collecting tableware and wine glasses at any time.
The band on the scene is a well-known band that just finished its world tour, and they are playing melodious music.
The picture is peaceful and beautiful.
"Sister." Gao Bin murmured, "Are people born different?"
"Why do you say that?" Gao Qianqian turned to look at Gao Bin: "Do you think the decoration here is luxurious? Or..."
"No." Gao Bin shook his head. "We've attended many high-class banquets in South City before. Although this place is luxurious, we are not country bumpkins who have never seen the world."
"Then why do you say that?" Gao Qianqian became more and more confused.
"That vase, with only a bunch of flowers in it, is placed in the corner." Gao Bin pointed and said, "It was a unique piece sold at Sotheby's last month, and it's worth 17 million.
At that time, they only said that it was bought by a mysterious rich man. I thought that this person really had good aesthetic taste, and the vase was indeed very beautiful, and it should have great potential for appreciation in the future.
If it were me, I would definitely keep the purchase carefully and wait for it to appreciate in value.
But here, it is just a vase, fulfilling its most basic value, holding flowers.
For me, it's a luxury item and I value its future value.
But to the Kong family, it is just... a vase.
Seventeen million, seventeen hundred yuan, one hundred and seventy yuan...
For the Kong family, it’s all the same.”
Gao Qianqian looked over and her eyes moved slightly.
Gao Bin turned to look at Gao Qianqian: "Sister, I don't know if I can explain this feeling clearly."
He didn't think that the Kong family was so luxurious and he was so poor.
Rather, his and the Kong family’s most basic understanding is not on the same level.
Things that he treasured, things that might take ten or twenty years of hard work to acquire, were everywhere available to the Kong family and they didn't need to be taken seriously.
So what do the Kong family really care about and what do they pursue?
Is it that he can't even imagine it in his lifetime?
Regardless of wealth, class, education, or talent, the feeling of losing mentally is terrifying...
Gao Bin felt scared when he thought about living under the same sky with such a person.
Before today, he was like the farmer who thought that "the emperor had to use a golden shoulder pole to carry manure", fantasizing about the life of the wealthy Kong family.
What about after today? Gao Bin felt that he would not think about those things anymore.
Because it must be wrong.
"I understand how you feel. I promise you that when you hold your coming-of-age ceremony, I'll also hold one for you..." Gao Qianqian held Gao Bin's hand: "An unforgettable and unique coming-of-age ceremony."
Gao Qianqian really wanted to boast that she would also hold such a coming-of-age ceremony for Gao Bin.
But she and Gao Bin were very clear at this time that when the shock of the wealth accumulated by countless generations hit them in the face, those bold words seemed so empty and ridiculous.
"Okay, thank you, sister." Gao Bin felt a warm sensation in his chest. Somehow, he remembered the question Zhong Yanyong asked in front of Zhong Yangyang. Gao Bin's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Gao Qianqian and asked, "Sister, am I handsome?"
Gao Qianqian didn't expect Gao Bin to suddenly ask her this question. She was stunned at first, and then observed Gao Bin carefully.
Before, Gao Bin was handsome.
A sunny young man with high spirits, the pride of the Gao family with both good character and good academic performance.
He is undoubtedly handsome.
But what about now?
Gao Bin, who had suffered so much, no longer had the confidence and determination he once had in his eyes.
Long-term malnutrition made him look unrecognizable. Although Gao Qianqian did not let Gao Bin starve during this period, he still looked a little thin.
Its tall and thin body, with a head that cannot be lifted up, looks like a praying mantis.
"Are you stupid?" Gao Qianqian did not answer, but reached out and rubbed Gao Bin's head. For the first time, her eyes showed selfless pity and heartache for her younger brother.
Gao Bin did not hear Gao Qianqian's answer, but when he met Gao Qianqian's eyes, he already knew the answer in Gao Qianqian's heart.
It's not that he doesn't have self-awareness. He knows what kind of person he is now.
But he also wanted to hear a favoritism from his sister.
Unfortunately, Gao Bin didn't hear it.
He chuckled and lowered his head.
At this time, the lights in the entire banquet venue slowly dimmed, and the music also became slow and melodious.
A spotlight shone on the closed door at the entrance.
Everyone looked over.
Soon, the two doors were slowly opened.
Kong Xiyan, wearing a one-shoulder dress, walked in slowly under the lights. Her slender waist could be held in one hand, and the light hem of her skirt shone brightly under the lights, as brilliant as a galaxy of stars.
Different from the casual and free-spirited look when she was driving the shuttle bus in the morning, she now had her long hair neatly tied up, revealing her snow-white neck, looking extremely elegant.
A diamond necklace with neatly arranged patterns and exquisite designs was wrapped around her neck. The priceless gem in the center of the diamonds fell right on the center of her collarbone, sparkling like stars under the light.
Even such a grand jewel on her body is just a foil to her beauty.
Those peach blossom eyes that cannot be ignored are smiling, and the expression is managed just right, just like a blooming alpine snow lotus.
Beautiful, holy, and yet with a sense of distance that cannot be approached or desecrated.
This is the real eldest daughter of the Kong family.
The next head of the Kong family is tacitly agreed upon by everyone in the Kong family.
Seeing this scene, Gao Qianqian felt as if she had never known Kong Xiyan.
In her mind, various appearances of Kong Xiyan flashed through her mind.
Gao Qianqian couldn't even tell which one was the real Kong Xiyan.
