Chapter 881: Being Watched
It makes sense, I guess, the last time was too far and too remote; it definitely wasn’t easy to set up.
But Fang Hao did a good job last time too, it was just that he didn’t have as many people to help out.
And this time, well, Gu Qibao couldn’t help but admire his mother-in-law’s high standards for quality of life.
Quite a few bodyguards came too, quietly surrounding the place, leaving Gu Qibao flabbergasted.
So professional, just for a BBQ, the scene was indeed impressive.
Yet, Gu Qibao knew that Fang Hao had always been like this, pursuing the ultimate romantic experience, since she wasn’t short of money anyway.
It’s just that this wasn’t a private place; it was, in fact, a public area, meaning anyone could come up.
Whoever claimed it first got the spot, and no one else could really say anything about it, similar to an ordinary picnic.
Luckily, Cliff of Love was extremely spacious, so it didn’t really matter.
Today however, due to the meteor shower, quite a few people had come, bringing just a blanket and some picnic supplies, clearly unable to match their grandeur.
But in the capital, nobility abounds, and you could hit a boss with a randomly thrown brick, so ordinary folks wouldn’t be overly surprised or shocked.
In this capital, rich and powerful second-generation offspring are commonplace, and people had grown accustomed to it.
Still, when they saw the cars arriving here, everyone was genuinely shocked.
The extravagant appearance was evidently beyond that of just a wealthy or influential second-generation.
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, military Humvees, Rolls-Royces, all top-tier configurations, collectible limited editions, definitely not toys for the average person.
But that bright blue Lamborghini was really a bit of an eyesore.
Dented in both the front and back, what had happened?
It was painful even to look at.
However, when people saw the men and women getting out of the cars, their eyes went wide, and nobody cared whether the Lamborghini was an eyesore or not.
People’s eyes bulged, almost in disbelief, as every one of these men and women was attractive, with perfect features and an air of nobility.
Previously, one might have thought such a gathering of handsome men and beautiful women could only take place on TV, but here it was happening in real life.
And it was even more breathtaking than on television.
The men, one after the other, were all tall, with heights around one-eighty, standing out so strikingly, with slim and elegant figures, and dressed in clothes that evoked a sense of shame in onlookers.
The women were all pretty and charming, beautiful, and even those who were older took such good care of themselves, they looked youthful.
Even though the cars were flashy and valuable, this group of people did not give off a nouveau riche vibe.
They weren’t decked out in gold, silver, or heavy makeup; they weren’t overloaded with jewelry.
On the contrary, their attire was quite simple, but there was a sense of low-key luxury, with quality materials and exceptional tailoring.
The women didn’t wear extravagant jewelry either, sporting just simple accessories, whether a wristwatch or a ring, without excessive adornment; some even wore no jewelry at all.
The men were even simpler, featuring either a wristwatch or cufflinks; at first glance, it didn’t catch the eye, but upon a closer look, to ordinary people, it was beyond reaching, absolutely international super-brands or genuine precious gemstones.
The term ’understated luxury’ probably referred to these people, who chatted and laughed without malice or a need to show off.
But people weren’t happy, because everyone has a bit of envy towards the rich; it’s human nature, and of course, humanity’s most stubborn flaw.
