Chapter 43: James
The four of them came to the main entrance of the main house of the manor, and Alice, who was the protagonist of the night, was receiving the guests at the door.
Dressed in a gorgeous yellow dress, with delicate lace all over the sleeves and hem, earrings and bracelets and other accessories shining in the light, and long golden hair being coiled behind her head, Alice, who was already beautiful, looked more and more gorgeous tonight.
"Welcome, thank you for taking the time to come to my birthday party, it's a pleasure to see you." Alice took a small step forward and said to everyone with a smile on her face.
"Gabriel and Bailey, you're finally here, many of your classmates have already arrived, just waiting for the two of you." With that, Alice turned her head and set her eyes on Koller.
"I was pleasantly surprised that Son Nate was here tonight, and my mother would be very happy to find out. At last year's annual meeting in the capital, I had the privilege of meeting your father, Viscount Nettes, with his humorous conversation and profound knowledge, which I remember vividly. ”
"It's my pleasure, I'm worried that I will disturb you, the most beautiful flower of the Christie family, I wish you a happy birthday, and I send you my best wishes on behalf of my father." Koller stepped forward and gave her a kiss.
"That's ......," Alice noticed from afar that Rita was being led by Koller.
"This is my girlfriend, Rita Taylor, and Gabriel's sister."
"Hello, Alice, you are so beautiful, I wish you a happy birthday." Rita smiled at Alice in congratulations.
"Thank you, and thank you for coming, and I hope you can have fun tonight." Alice's eyes seemed to flash with a twinkle, and then she said with a smile on her face.
Because there were still guests coming one after another, the four of Gong Bing and Alice didn't talk much, and they all gave the prepared gifts and walked into the door.
Passing through the front hall, along a short passage, you will come to the banquet hall located in the main house, the hall of five or six hundred square meters, the left and right are separated by a European-style column to divide many small side halls, a crystal chandelier illuminates the hall, a long table, covered with luxurious tablecloths, on which are placed all kinds of food and drinks, the guests stand or sit in groups of three or five, chat and laugh together, the servants wander among the guests, replenish food from time to time, and serve the guests at any time.
There is also a small band in the center of the hall, playing relaxing classical music.
At the end of the hall is an open glass floor-to-ceiling door that opens onto a lawn garden that is also filled with food, and guests can also go outside and enjoy themselves watching the night sky.
Bailey looked left and right, curious and excited about the things here, and then found a few classmates not far away, seeing that Gong Bing had no intention of coming over, after saying hello to him, he trotted over, eating food and talking.
Koller pulls the red-faced Rita to meet his friends and elders.
There were all kinds of people at the banquet, not only the famous people in Green Town were invited, but also many people who were inextricably linked to the Christie family, whether near or far, they would either personally or send their confidants to congratulate them.
The abandoned Gong Bing walked around the hall alone, and finally took two plates, filled the buffet table with food, and then found a random corner to sit down and eat.
Gong Bing is no stranger to banquet parties, and his home on the original earth also did a small business, and there is no shortage of big money and small money, so he has also had the experience of participating, including large and small, and the style and form are similar to those here, but there is a little retro feeling.
Familiar and different, familiar and unfamiliar, in fact, this can be said to be a parallel world of the earth.
The pictures of reality and memories are alternately interspersed in front of him, under the gorgeous lights, in the corner where no one cares, even if he is in the hustle and bustle, Gong Bing still can't help but feel a trace of melancholy, loneliness and longing are like a knife that erodes bones, scraping a scarred heart.
No matter what his appearance is, he is a stranger in this world after all, a stowaway, even if he starts to integrate into the life here, he can't change this identity, no one knows his secret, and he has no place to confide and vent.
For a moment, feeling a little sentimental, Gong Bing shook his head and shook off the thoughts that had been in his mind for a while.
Then Gong Bing silently opened the system while eating.

After Lancer's charm was absorbed that night, there was no evolution point to absorb, and it seemed to be just a one-time thing, which made him feel a little regretful.
Gong Bing checked the information about the charm on the Internet, and found nothing special, the charm is just an ordinary texture, and the pattern is just a popular style that was popular before, and he didn't find any clues.
This charm has a history of hundreds of years, no matter how much it is worth, but it is an antique, maybe you can find a map on this point?
Although he didn't have much expectations, he hoped that Lancer would keep his promise and send him something.
However, since that day, Lancer has disappeared, and he has not heard from her in his e-mail, and he does not know if she escaped the dark bounty.
Just as he was eating and thinking, a strong smell of wine came, and someone sat down next to him.
The person who came was holding a wine glass and bottle in his hand, it was a sturdy white man, even if he was sitting, Gong Bing could see that the other party was definitely more than two meters tall, and his shoulder-length blond hair was tied behind his head.
With the angular mature face of the other party, he is a charming uncle.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and I didn't expect little Gabriel to be a lot stronger, and I almost didn't recognize you." The comer was full of energy, and the sound was like thunder, which attracted the attention of people nearby.
"Uncle James? I didn't expect to meet you here, and my father also came with you to the banquet? Gong Bing greeted expressionlessly, while his eyes looked around.
Gong Bing knows this mature uncle, or Gabriel, he and his father Sean work in the same printing house company, as an assistant manager, and is a friend of his father for more than ten years, his biggest hobby is watching football and drinking, and he always finds excuses to take his father away to drink, but he is not very well treated by his mother, and his mother doesn't like this drunken guy all day long.
After beating Gong Bing, James has been to the house several times for work, and he has also had a few encounters with Gong Bing.
"Da Lin is a large company with a national name, and the branch factory in Green Town is also one of the few and more important economic industries in Green Town, so it is not surprising to receive an invitation." James drank all the wine in one gulp, then poured himself another glass, and said with a smile: "There are some things in the factory that need to be handled by Sean, so I am the only one who came over today." ”
"Are you on a business trip again?" The strong smell of wine was like a stimulating chemical, and Gong Bing moved his body in disgust.
James nodded, unimpressed by Gong Bing's small movements.
After Gong Bing cut the steak in front of him into well-proportioned pieces with a knife, he slowly forked a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
"Uncle James, how could my father's hand burn before? There doesn't seem to be a machine in the factory that needs an open flame, right? ”
"There was a small accident, nothing big, you don't have to worry too much." James's eyes were confused, and he didn't know if he had drunk too much or what's wrong: "If you have any worries, you can ask your father in person, little Gabriel, you have also grown up, and you have matured a lot, you can usually care more about your father, I think there should be more communication between father and son." ”
