At this moment, Edward was squatting on the ground in Villa No. 1 of the Hot Spring Resort, playing with his pet Green Turtle, Kuba, in his small goldfish tank.
"Sigh, it's all thanks to President Li that I'm able to accompany Anqi and protect our last peace. "Kuba, our peace is coming to an end, right?" Edward teased Kuba as he muttered to himself.
At this moment, a supervisor in a suit and a waiter walked in from the door. The two of them walked up to Edward and bowed.
"Chairman!"
"What is it?" Edward asked.
"The hotel staff has prepared a farewell party for you."
"A farewell party?"
" Although you'll only be leaving in a few days, I think it's better to hold the meeting when the chairman's wife is not around," the supervisor said as he glanced at the waiter beside him, meaning that everyone had the same opinion.
" Thank you." Edward thought about it and was secretly delighted.
What Edward didn't know was that Liang Anqi had already driven back to the hotel. She was carrying her beloved pet Chris in her arms. She was wearing a gorgeous tight red dress as she walked into the hotel lobby.
A male waiter was just walking out of the banquet hall when he saw Liang Anqi walking in. He was shocked and quickly went up to greet her.
"Madam!"
"Where's the chairman? Is he still in the office?”
" Uh, this…that," the waiter stammered.
Liang Anqi turned her eyes to the banquet hall because she could vaguely hear Edward's familiar voice.
Liang Anqi ignored the waiter and walked towards the banquet hall.
" Oh no, it's over," the waiter mumbled as he slapped his thigh.
At this moment, a self-service farewell party was being held in the banquet hall. Below the stage, employees in the uniforms of various departments were walking around. Accompanied by the elegant piano music, everyone was leisurely tasting champagne and enjoying a short happy time. On the stage, Edward, who was wearing a vest, was performing his favorite English song to his heart's content.
“Ididitmyway,yesthereweretimes…..”
His magnetic voice coupled with his passionate singing made the employees praise him.
“anddiditmy~~”
Just as Edward's passionate performance reached its climax…
"Bang!"
The door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open, and Edward's singing came to an abrupt halt. He looked in the direction of the door in surprise, his expression odd and helpless, like a singing cob suddenly becoming a wimp.
The employees all looked in the direction of the door. The scene was silent.
Liang Anqi walked towards the stage with disrespectful steps, and the employees all made way for her.
Edward was at a loss and could only walk down the stage towards Liang Anqi.
"Old…wife."
"Didn't you say that you would be very busy these few days? What are you doing?”Liang Anqi asked coldly.
" Uh, that…that, holding a farewell party," Edward explained like a child who had made a mistake.
"A farewell party?" Liang Anqi looked around at the employees.
" Then continue with your farewell party," Liang Anqi said lightly.
At this moment, the atmosphere returned to its peaceful state. Everyone was chatting and drinking. Edward had no choice but to quietly accompany Liang Anqi. Liang Anqi crossed her arms with one hand and played with the earring with the other. The two of them stood at the side, bored and silent.
At this moment, a waitress walked past with a few glasses of champagne and whispered to another waitress. The other waitress turned around and walked into the linen room to take out another glass of red wine.
" Ladies and gentlemen, let's invite the chairman to give his final speech," the host called out from the stage.
Edward glanced at Liang Anqi as she put down her glass and walked up to the stage. Liang Anqi didn't even look at him as she played with her fingernails.
" Cough cough, hello everyone. Thank you for your hard work recently. Don't forget that you are the owners of this hotel. I hope that everyone can continue to work hard in the future…"
At this moment, the waitress holding a glass of red wine whispered to another waitress,"Sister, this is the cup for that crazy woman as revenge for torturing us all this time."
" What is it?" another waitress asked.
" Laxatives, the strengthened version. I guess I'll have to suffer a little tonight."
The two waiters were plotting something, but they didn't know that their unusual behavior had already attracted Liang Anqi's attention. She glanced at the two waiters and remained silent.
" When I leave, I hope you guys will work harder. When I return to America, I will continue to look forward to the hotel's prosperity. I don't want to leave..." Edward continued his speech.
The waitress brought the champagne to Liang Anqi. Liang Anqi glanced at the champagne glasses on the tray and picked up the red wine glass. The waitress was secretly delighted and turned to leave.
" Hey, stop!" Liang Anqi shouted at the waiter.
"Did you call me?" The waiter turned around in surprise.
"What is this?" Liang Anqi raised her glass and asked.
"What?" The waiter pretended to be innocent.
" Try it," Liang Anqi said as she handed the cup over. The waitress panicked and backed away with a guilty conscience.
"Why not?" Liang Anqi asked coldly.
…..
At this moment, Edward, who was giving a speech on the stage, had already reached the end.
" Thank you, everyone. Thank you for giving me this unforgettable farewell party," Edward said excitedly. He had the demeanor of an executive, and there was a warm applause from the audience.
"Alright, let's have a toast now."
“呯”
Suddenly, there was a sharp and abrupt sound of glass shattering. The applause suddenly stopped and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
A waitress was lying on the ground, crying in a daze," Why are you doing this to me?" she asked as she wiped away her tears.
Edward panicked. Finally, something had happened. He hurriedly ran over.
"What is it?" Edward asked with a frown.
" She actually pulled a prank on my champagne," Liang Anqi said calmly.
" No, it's really not," the waitress who was helped up explained.
" Alright, drink it," Liang Anqi said as she handed the glass over.
The scene suddenly became silent and awkward. A large hand reached out and took the glass from Liang Anqi's hand.
"Can we do it now?"
" Edward!" Liang Anqi looked at Edward with disbelief and hatred.
" Thank you for today's farewell party, everyone. Let's call it a day." Edward turned around and left after he finished speaking. There was a sparse applause from the crowd to show their support for Edward's actions.
"Stop!" Liang Anqi shouted.
Everyone immediately stopped moving. Liang Anqi turned around and walked towards Edward.
"Do you not believe me? Do you think I'm deliberately finding fault, throwing a tantrum, and causing trouble? I don't care about others, but Edward, do you think so too?”Liang Anqi questioned Edward.
" Angie, that's enough," Edward mustered his courage and said.
" Everyone, go back," Edward said to the staff beside him and led the way out.
"Stop right there!" Liang Anqi shouted again.
Edward paused for a moment, then walked forward again. All the employees followed him out.
Liang Anqi was left alone in the spacious banquet hall. She didn't know what she had done wrong.
