Chapter 71. We Should Be the Ones to Bow Our Heads!
Ye Zhibai had heard about the Ye family’s banquet hall before.
Heard before — meaning she had overheard the maids chatting about it while walking in the outer courtyard these past couple of days.
They said the maid team rotates cleaning duties for the mansion, and anywhere is fine to clean, but everyone especially dislikes the days when it’s their turn to clean the banquet hall.
The reason is simply that the banquet hall is too large, making it very laborious to clean.
— Even to the point that after each cleaning, they almost have to discard a mop, which is quite wasteful.
At the time, Ye Zhibai only smiled bitterly in her heart hearing this.
Thinking their words were too exaggerated.
A mop has to be discarded just from mopping the floor? Then the quality of your mop isn’t even as good as the creaky old chair in my former apartment!
But now
When Ye Zhibai truly stood in front of the so-called “Ye Family Banquet Hall” doors.
She understood everything.
Ye Zhibai looked up at this “five-star hotel” that she couldn’t see the top of, magnificent and resplendent, lights twinkling, extremely extravagant, and was dumbfounded.
She patted Guang Yu’s fox head with her left hand to calm herself, turned her head to ask Zhiyun beside her.
“Zhiyun… didn’t you say we were going to the banquet hall? Why is it a hotel, and such a high-end one… did the location change?”
“Hm? Ah… sorry sister! I didn’t tell you in advance, this is our family’s banquet hall, not a hotel. Look, isn’t it written on the sign over there? Um… I’m getting a call, sister please wait, I’ll contact our dad, not sure if he’s arrived yet.”
Oh oh, you go ahead and take care of that.
Thanks for pointing it out, let me take a look first.
Ye Zhibai looked in the direction Ye Zhiyun pointed.
Oh my, it really is!
The sign doesn’t say “such-and-such hotel”, but simply “Ye Group Banquet Hall”!
This so-called banquet hall is about a kilometer from the villa estate where Ye Zhibai lives, indeed very close.
Looking carefully, those standing at the entrance are all Ye family maids and bodyguards, wearing distinctive uniforms, easy to recognize. Besides them, there are no guests coming and going, indeed not a hotel.
Usually when Ye Zhibai goes out for evening walks, she can see this magnificent building.
She had been thinking at the time, how amazing, how amazing! Such a big five-star hotel, so impressive!
But looking at it today, oh my.
It’s our own family’s cafeteria!
Ye Zhibai inadvertently glanced to the side not far away, and saw a young maid from the family, carrying a big mop, walking out of the cafeteria… ahem, the banquet hall.
She was covered in sweat, clearly having just finished cleaning the banquet hall.
The maid walked to the shade of a tree, casually put the mop aside, raised her arms, and did a few stretching movements.
Mm-hmm, relieving fatigue after work, doing some stretching exercises, a very good habit!
In her past life, Ye Zhibai also liked to bounce around a bit after coming home from part-time work, almost bouncing through the broken floor at home!
So happy!
But… after the maid finished stretching, her next action
Directly confused both Ye Zhibai and Guang Yu.
They saw her take a deep breath, pick up the mop she had just put aside, and violently smash it against the solid tree!!
With a bang, the mop instantly disintegrated and scattered!
And the maid clenched her fists, happily stomping her feet!
Her joyful voice could be heard even from where Ye Zhibai was standing.
“Good! Good! Off work, off work! This old lady finally finished cleaning this damn banquet hall! Its grandmother! Freedom! Freedom!! So refreshing!!”
The little fox Guang Yu was frightened!
“Ye Zhibai… you humans are so violent, just getting off work, like going crazy.”
“It varies from person to person. Also, Guang Yu, you need to understand, humans are creatures that need to vent, not like you who are carefree without a care in the world. For example, if I’m under a lot of pressure or very irritated, I might need to beat you up, it’s the same principle.”
“Oh oh oh… I see… What?! You want to beat us up?!”
“No.”
I mean, when it’s unavoidable.
For example, if you pour your wasabi into my water cup.
Alright, now Ye Zhibai finally understood why the maids said the mop would be discarded after cleaning the banquet hall. Sorry mop, I misunderstood your quality!
The maid over there obviously hadn’t noticed the sudden arrival of the two young misses just now.
When she finished her business and turned around, she was almost scared to death on the spot!
She was seen with a grieving face, carefully throwing the mop fragments into the trash can, then gracefully, in a manner befitting the image of a Ye family maid, left extremely elegantly.
The human heart has a thousand faces.
Just like you getting off work, and you encountering your boss after getting off work.
Nothing else, just real!
Ye Zhiyun had just been on the phone contacting Ye Qinghe, and was now hanging up and putting away her phone.
From what she said on the phone just now, Ye Qinghe should have arrived early and was waiting in the banquet hall.
She reached out her hand to Ye Zhibai.
With a shake of her black hair, Ye Zhiyun tilted her head and smiled.
“Let’s go, sister, home, for a family dinner.”
“…”
Ye Zhibai repeatedly looked at the five-star hotel-like banquet hall, and repeatedly pondered Zhiyun’s words.
Actually, at this moment, she only had two words she wanted to say in her heart.
— Awesome.
The interior decoration of the banquet hall was even more exaggerated than the outside.
But walking into the banquet hall, you could clearly see that this was indeed not a hotel.
Neatly arranged high-end tables and chairs as far as the eye could see, fully equipped executive lounges, and a podium for speeches.
All of this indicated how bustling and prosperous this place would be during major business meetings or important holidays.
But as for now, in this vast banquet hall, there were only Ye Zhibai, Ye Zhiyun, and two accompanying maids behind them.
As Ye Zhiyun said, today is a family dinner, so naturally, only family members.
Alright Guang Yu, you followed for wasabi, now we’re forced to become a family too.
By the way, Ye Zhibai and Ye Zhiyun are now wearing just ordinary home clothes.
Light pink shirts and brown shorts, clean and neat, there’s no problem with that
But the problem is, they’re wearing the same thing!
It’s like couple outfits!
Oh no… this should be called sister outfits.
Guang Yu also used her divine power to replicate the same outfit on herself.
Luckily others can’t see her, otherwise it would be a terrifying triple outfit clash!
The only one bothered by the triple outfit clash is poor little Zhibai.
Well… but these clothes were prepared by Zhiyun, who said wearing this would be fine, looks very nice.
Hmm… maybe, Ye Zhibai doesn’t really care about clothing issues, as long as it’s not a light, fluttery dress, it’s all good!
Perhaps seeing her sister’s concern, Ye Zhiyun moved closer to her.
“Don’t worry, sister, I know sister is very particular, very elegant, and would definitely want to wear a gorgeous dress to such an occasion. I want to see sister wear one too! But isn’t that tiring~ This is our own family dinner, it’s fine to dress casually, family eating together, surely no one would dress very seriously and formally, right? Right? Hahaha!”
You’re subjectively speculating again!!
Gorgeous dress? You could beat me to death and I still wouldn’t want to wear one!!
But Zhiyun is right, family eating together, where’s the need for so much formality.
Surely no one would dress so formally!
Just laugh along in your heart!
Hahaha!
However, just a short ten seconds later, Ye Zhibai dared not laugh anymore.
Ye Qinghe, who had arrived early, was wearing a suit and leather shoes, tie and all, even had his hair gelled, more formal than attending the annual business conference!
He saw his daughters wearing home clothes, then looked down at his own attire
He lowered his head in shame.
Dad ahhhh!!
We should be the ones to bow our heads, not you!!
