In the evening, in front of the Kong family mansion.
On the crowded street, a series of carriages suddenly appeared. The carriages were very luxurious, full of majestic patterns and patterns. Looking from afar, it gave off a luxurious feeling. After the surrounding people recognized which family the palanquin belonged to, they hurriedly stepped aside and took the initiative to open up a smooth path.
Soon, the leading carriage stopped in front of the Kong family mansion. A servant pulled open the curtain and respectfully said, "Reporting to Eldest Miss, we've arrived at the Kong family mansion."
After speaking, two figures walked out of the carriage. First was Kong Yan, who was supported by the servant. She stepped on the back of the stepping slave and got off the carriage. Then, she looked at Lu An who was standing on the carriage.
However, Kong Yan noticed that Lu An's expression was stunned. His eyes were fixed on the kneeling stepping slave. Kong Yan was a little curious and asked, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get down! "
Lu An was startled. Then, he frowned slightly and looked up at Kong Yan who was already standing on the ground. He nodded and said, "Okay."
After speaking, Lu An jumped lightly. He did not step on the slave's back and landed directly on the ground.
This time, it was Kong Yan who was startled. However, she remembered that Lu An was the child of a poor person. He did not even have any relatives or friends. How could he have used a slave? She thought that Lu An was just not used to it. Then, she said casually, "Don't jump down like this in the future. It's not elegant."
After speaking, Kong Yan turned around and walked towards the stairs. She did not see Lu An's increasingly serious expression.
Lu An did not move. He gently raised his head and glanced at the magnificent Kong family mansion. The construction of the gate was extremely imposing. Especially the plaque inlaid with gold and the two words' Kong family mansion 'written in gold. It clearly showed the extraordinariness of a wealthy family.
"What are you looking at?" Kong Yan's urging voice suddenly came from the front. "Why aren't you coming in? My family is already waiting for you! "
Lu An was startled. Looking at Kong Yan's urging expression, he took a deep breath and nodded. Then, he walked inside.
The servant walked in front to lead the way. Lu An followed behind Kong Yan in the Kong family mansion. This was the first time he had come to such a mansion, and it was also the first time he had seen such a beautiful mansion.
Magnificent buildings were constructed from dark purple ancient trees, and pure marble slabs covered the entire floor. Precious trees and flowers were planted in every corner. Even in the evening, their fragrance lingered in the air. Not only that, but there were also clear streams and lakes in the mansion. Red and white koi fish swam around in groups. Every corner refreshed Lu An's understanding of the mansion. In his opinion, this was a paradise on earth.
After passing through a beautiful corridor, Lu An seemed to have appreciated all the beautiful sceneries in the world. Finally, the group arrived in front of an exceptionally elegant building. The red sandalwood door was wide open. Lu An looked inside and sure enough, there were many people sitting around a huge table.
Everybody came to the front of the door. The servants walking in front made way for Kong Yan and Lu An, and stood at both ends with their bodies bowed. Kong Yan strode forward. Lu An's footsteps paused for a moment, but he still followed.
When Kong Yan and Lu An walked up the steps, the people inside stood up. These people were dressed in brocade and were dressed in gorgeous clothes. Among them, the first person to come out was a middle-aged man. He walked in front of Kong Yan and carefully sized her up. Then he could not help but say, "Not bad. This time you left home for more than two months. Finally, you did not lose weight.
Kong Yan heard this and showed a smile on her face. Then she said to the middle-aged man, "Father."
Hearing Kong Yan's address, Lu An was not surprised in his heart. He looked at the middle-aged man and sized him up from head to toe. Although this person's stature was not very tall, but he was quite imposing. Especially his pair of eyes looked very sharp. His eyebrows were raised like a sword edge. He was afraid that he was not a good person to provoke. From Kong Yan's tone, the relationship between father and daughter should be good.
"Let me introduce you." Kong Yan turned sideways and said to the middle-aged man, "This is the student who helped us to free ourselves, Lu An."
As soon as Kong Yan's words came out, everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Lu An. Everyone began to size him up as if they wanted to see through everything about Lu An.
Lu An felt everyone's gaze but did not care. He had received countless cold looks, not to mention this kind of probing gaze. He stood on the spot and bowed to the middle-aged man. "Junior Lu An greets senior."
The middle-aged man looked at the young man who bowed to him. His eyebrows slowly tightened and his eyes became sharp. He used his past experience to observe every detail of Lu An. Finally, after three breaths, he smiled and said in a clear voice, "Quickly get up!"
Lu An heard this and got up and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Although you and my daughter are not classmates, but both of you are in Starfire Academy. You are a genuine schoolmate. There is no need to be so polite!" The middle-aged man smiled and said loudly, "My name is Kong Jinshang. You can call me Uncle Kong!"
Lu An heard this and said, "Greetings Uncle Kong."
"Haha, good good good!" Kong Jinshang stretched out his hand and patted Lu An's shoulder in satisfaction. Then, he grabbed Lu An's wrist and said intimately, "Come, tonight's banquet is prepared for you. Quickly take a seat!"
Kong Jinshang pulled Lu An's hand and walked forward. He went around half of the seats and came to the side of the second seat. Kong Jinshang then said loudly, "Please take a seat!"
Lu An smiled politely and said, "Uncle Kong, please take a seat first."
Kong Jinshang was stunned. Then, he laughed and said, "Everyone take a seat! Everyone take a seat! "
After the two of them sat down, the others also took their seats. One of them shouted outside the door, "Serve the dishes!"
Soon, dishes were brought in by elegantly dressed maids and placed on the table one by one. Every dish was fragrant and extremely beautiful. It could be said that every dish was a delicacy that made people salivate.
"Nephew, these are delicacies from all over the country. Some of them were even shipped from other countries. I don't dare to say anything else, but other than my Kong family, no other family in the entire Starfire City can take out so many seafood dishes! "Kong Jinshang said loudly, his voice filled with pride.
However, when Lu An looked at the food that he had never seen before, he felt that Kong Jinshang was indeed worthy of his pride. Just as Sister Yan had said, the Kong family's business took up half of the entire Starfire City's seafood market!
The dishes were still being served. Because the table was so big that it could accommodate nearly twenty people, the dishes seemed to be piled up like a mountain. Looking at the beautiful dishes, Lu An even felt dazzled.
"The dishes are all here." Kong Jinshang looked at the table of dishes with satisfaction. He turned to Lu An and said, "Nephew, don't be polite. Eat as much as you want. Otherwise, you will be looking down on me, Kong Jinshang!"
Lu An was startled when he heard this. In fact, his saliva was about to flow out, but he knew that he could not be rude at this time, so he nodded and said, "Alright, junior will definitely not be polite."
"Haha, good!" Kong Jinshang laughed in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the banquet began.
At the same time, many women appeared in the garden outside. These women were dressed gorgeously. Some of them held long belts in their hands while others held musical instruments in their hands. Soon, they were ready. Following that, subtle music and beautiful dancing began.
"Watch and eat, watch and eat!" Kong Jinshang laughed loudly, then looked at Lu An and said loudly, "Nephew, tonight we are not going to return until we are drunk!"
Lu An was startled when he heard this, but seeing Kong Jinshang's interest, he could only nod and say, "Junior will do his best."
Kong Yan sat on the other side of Kong Jinshang. Looking at Lu An's performance, she didn't know why, but she was satisfied and happy. She picked up a mouthful of delicacies and tasted them carefully.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively. With wine and good words, everyone quickly became talkative.
"I say, nephew, this time you have really done my Kong family a big favor!" Kong Jinshang obviously drank a lot of wine. His face was red, but he was even more interested. He put his arm on Lu An's shoulder and said loudly, "You have doubled my Kong family's income!"
"And let me tell you, things are not that simple!" Kong Jinshang's voice was filled with the smell of alcohol. He said loudly, "You should know that although my Kong family occupies half of the seafood market, it is not enough to cover the sky with one hand! But this time, you have greatly reduced my family's cost. This time, my Kong family can completely compete with other businesses in a price war. Monopolizing the entire market is just around the corner! "
Feeling Kong Jinshang's enthusiasm, Lu An slightly frowned, but still respectfully said, "Then I will congratulate Uncle Kong."
"In order to repay you!" Kong Jinshang acted as if he didn't hear Lu An's words and said loudly, "I asked my daughter to give you a small gift! I know that it is insignificant compared to my Kong family's benefits, but don't think it is too little, I will give you more! "
"There's no need … There's really no need …" Lu An was shocked when he heard this. He quickly said, "That's enough …"
"For example!" Kong Jinshang didn't hear what Lu An said. He waved his hand and shouted, "How about I marry my daughter to you?!"
Lu An was stunned!
At the banquet, a man's face instantly turned gloomy!
