Chapter 35: The Comparison of Gifts
"Brother Liu Ling, this piece of cake is for you."
After everyone sang the birthday song HappyBrithday, the party entered the cake cutting session.
Chen Yuan still remembered that Liu Ling didn't like to eat sweet and greasy cream, so the cakes he cut were all dry cakes underneath, and he cut a large piece, which was much bigger than others.
"Thank you." Liu Ling took the cake with a smile, but he didn't have much appetite, he had eaten a lot before, and now he didn't want to eat so many cakes at all, but you can't refuse it on the surface, isn't it.
After cutting the cake for Liu Ling, Chen Yuan cut a large piece of Faye Wong and handed it to her.
"Hmph, Chen Yuan, you are heavy on color and light on friends, you cut a lot less cake for me than my brother, beware that I won't let you be my sister-in-law."
Faye Wong laughed at Chen Yuan quietly after taking the cake, which made Chen Yuan blush, glaring at her fiercely, and whispered: "Faye Wong, be quiet, don't be heard by Brother Liu Ling." ”
Chen Yuan looked at Liu Ling and didn't notice this, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Faye Wong, let me tell you, I have settled on your sister-in-law's position, and I will definitely punish you severely when the time comes." ”
"Flutter." Faye Wong couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Chen Yuan's great goal, which made many young people in the hall stunned.
Faye Wong, Chen Yuan's nominal friend, stood with Chen Yuan, forming a beautiful landscape, and even Pang Bo, who had been playing among the flowers since he was a child, couldn't help but take a few more looks, and gave birth to many improper thoughts.
Liu Ling was eating the cake by himself, while dealing with the girls who approached from time to time, and many girls came to ask this and that from before, it was really a little annoying.
However, in order not to brush Chen Yuan's face, Liu Ling had to blindly chat and fart with these girls, like a girl's friend, envious of the many single male compatriots on the side.
Of course, the young master Pang Bo, who has a big family, also has many beauties around him, although he does not attract them by his appearance, but he has not lost face by attracting many beauties with money and strength.
When the pointer in the hall pointed to seven o'clock, Pang Bo felt that the time was almost up, so he gave Xiao Wu a stealthy look and motioned for him to start moving.
Xiao Wu received Pang Bo's eyes, nodded at Pang Bo, and then walked straight to Chen Yuan, took out a gift box, and said, "Miss Chen Yuan, this is my birthday gift to you, I wish you a happy birthday today." ”
Chen Yuan didn't know that this Xiao Wu was the little brother of Pang Bo, whom he hated the most, so he happily took the box with both hands and said thank you.
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't mean to take it apart on the spot, Xiao Wu pretended to be a little panicked and asked, "Miss Chen Yuan, is my gift not good enough?" You don't even have the desire to open it and take a look. ”
In aristocratic circles, the owner of the gift would open one gift after another with his own hands, allowing outsiders to compare the value of the gifts and then choose the most expensive one.
This is also one of the means to compare the status of various families and wealthy families, the higher the value of the gift, the more rich and powerful the family, and will be respected by other wealthy families.
And if the gift you give is compared with other wealthy families and families, other wealthy families will look down on you, and the value of this gift-giving wealthy family will naturally plummet, and then it may be divided by some slightly stronger wealthy families, and there are countless such things.
The dirty unspoken rules between the wealthy can be seen in general.
Chen Yuan's original intention was not to disassemble, but under Xiao Wu's "reminder", he had to abide by this dirty unspoken rule.
When I opened the box with my slender fingers, a golden alloy card came into view.
Some knowledgeable people exclaimed.
"That's the VIP gold card of the underground racing field, this little five is really a big deal, I heard that the VIP gold card there is not something that can be done with money, at least you have to bet more than 10 million in it to handle one."
"Hehe, what is this, the gift I prepared is no worse than the one he prepared."
After Xiao Wu's invisible agitation, everyone in the hall asked their subordinates to get the gifts they had prepared.
A luxurious feast of comparison begins.
"Miss Chen Yuan, I stole this bottle of Lafite from 1992 from my father's wine cellar, I wish you liked it."
"Miss Chen Yuan, this is a luxury cruise charter coupon run by our family, after using it, you can rent a luxury cruise ship for free for a whole year, I hope you can have a good time with it."
"Miss Chen Yuan, this is an antique from the Song Dynasty that my father went to Huajing last time to photograph, I heard those experts say that it has a lot of collection value, I don't know if you like it or not."
"Miss Chen Yuan, this is a jade pendant from the Ming Dynasty, I think it will definitely look good if you wear it."
"Miss Chen Yuan, I have sent you a cart of the latest varieties of vine flowers, and there are many flower planters, who can help the Chen family's mansion to plant in the shortest possible time, I hope you can like this kind of flower."
……
……
The types and ways of gifts given by the children of these wealthy families opened the eyes of Liu Ling, who was watching the show.
Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Liu Ling has never used it to have such a high-level gathering, and naturally he has never seen so many gift styles, watching so many things that he has never seen handed over to Chen Yuan one by one, and then taken over by the subordinates on the side, Liu Ling said that he saw it with relish.
"Chen Yuan, this is my gift."
Pang Bo saw that the atmosphere around him was almost hyped, and it was time for the main protagonist to appear, so he strode to Chen Yuan's side, handed her a luxurious jewelry box and said.
Although Chen Yuan didn't like it, he didn't like Pang Bo very much, but it was not easy to save his face in front of so many people, so he had to reluctantly open the jewelry box.
"Wow, such a big jadeite, it's still an emerald, Pang Shao is really good at picking up girls."
As soon as the people around saw that it was a gift from Pombo, they gathered around and commented on Pombo's gift.
The descendants of a jewelry family took a look at this jade ring, and his eyes widened suddenly, his family ran a lot of jewelry business, so he was also familiar with jewelry under the influence of his parents.
Flawless gemstones like emeralds, which are hard to find, are expensive in the jewelry market, in fact, emeralds, known as the king of emeralds, are smaller and easier to find, but larger ones are not easy to find, and can be called priceless.
There is a very large emerald in their family as a family heirloom, and every time a guest comes, his father carefully takes it out and shows it to the guest, but Rao is so, he has never seen such a large quality as the one sent by Pang Bo.
Chen Yuan looked at the expensive emerald ring in the jewelry box, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
The value of this emerald ring is too high, if she accepts it, the matter between her and Pombo will not be clear, and it will be difficult to deal with it if she regrets the marriage.
"What's the matter, don't you like this ring?"
Pang Bo naturally understood what Chen Yuan was thinking now, what he wanted was this result, and after Chen Yuan accepted this gift, their marriage contract would be half successful.
"Chen Yuan, she probably thinks this is too precious, and it won't be good for her to regret marrying you after she accepts it."
Liu Ling, who was eating cake on the side, suddenly looked at the despicable Pang Bo and interjected.
Pang Bo couldn't help but twitch a little after listening to Liu Ling's words, why do you want to say it so bluntly?
Although he does have this thought, you can say it euphemistically, speaking in their circle usually leaves three points for people, how can Liu Ling speak so bluntly.
Although most of the people present understand this fact, you can't just expose this fact nakedly.
This is simply a slap in the face of the huge young master.
