Bai Xue sneered, âAbout the price difference, my fiance will take care of that. Change it now.â
The manager replied, âMiss Bai, 1 suggest you discuss this with Mr. Li. This is a custom design chosen by Mr. Li, and we donât dare make changes without his consent. Please donât make it difficult for us.â
At this point, it would be best for Bai Xue and Li Yan to resolve the situation together.
Bai Xue angrily pulled out her phone and, through gritted teeth, said, âSo much trouble. Iâm calling my fiance right now.â
She dialed Li Yanâs number, and after a long wait, he finally answered.
Upon hearing Li Yan pick up, Bai Xue felt relieved and proudly put the call on speakerphone.
Bai Xue asked, âLi Yan, are you busy right now?â
Li Yan replied indifferently, âI have a meeting in a while. Whatâs the matter?â
Bai Xue, hearing Li Yanâs dispassionate tone, though uncomfortable, didnât dare to react.
She coquettishly continued, âIâm at the venue of my birthday banquet. The decoration is terrible, and 1 want to change it to something more appealing. But these people wonât allow it unless you agree.â
The manager quickly interjected, âMr. Li, let me explain the situation. Miss Bai has selected a wedding-themed decoration, which comes at a different cost and doesnât match the birthday theme. We donât want there to be any misunderstandings.â
Bai Xue shot the manager a glare. She retorted, âWhat misunderstandings could there be? Or do you think the Li family wonât pay you? Youâve decorated my birthday party as if itâs a funeral. Are you here to celebrate me or curse me?â
The manager hastened to explain, âMiss Bai, please donât misunderstand. 1 must clarify that a birthday party and a wedding banquet are entirely different. They have distinct themes and symbolism, and the atmosphere they create is also dissimilar. Can you understand?â
Bai Xue indeed understood, but she didnât want to be bogged down in details. She hoped that everyone would misunderstand. It was, after all, her and Li Yanâs engagement banquet.
Bitingly sarcastic, Bai Xue remarked, âJust change a few props, whereâs the misunderstanding? Youâre just making excuses for a poorly done job. 1 see that your hotel will be closing down sooner or later.â
The manager was left speechless. Bai Xue had no idea that the hotel was also connected to the Li family. How could she imply that it might close down?
On the other end of the call, Li Yan coldly said, âAlright, I understand the situation now. Stick with the original plan. If you donât like it, you can cancel the birthday party tomorrow. I wonât force you to accept something you donât like.â
This was a face-smacking scene. All eyes in the room turned to Bai Xue.
Upon hearing Li Yanâs response, Bai Xueâs expression soured. She immediately turned off the speakerphone and coquettishly said, âLi Yan, itâs not that I donât like it, but 1 find it a bit too cold. Can you make some minor changes?â
Li Yan reiterated, âI already told you, if you donât like it, you can cancel it. I wonât force you to do something you dislike.â
Bai Xue explained, âThatâs not it, Li Yan. Please donât misunderstand. Itâs just that, although itâs a bit cold, itâs not too bad. Changing it would be a waste of time.â
Though Bai Xue was deeply unhappy, and Li Yan was becoming increasingly indifferent, she had to compromise at this point. The current decoration might be somewhat unsightly, but it was better than canceling the event.
âAlright, 1 have a meeting to attend. Thatâs all,â Li Yan declared.
Before Bai Xue could say anything more, the call was abruptly ended.
Iler expression remained unsightly, and she had to adjust her mindset and suppress her frustration. She glanced at the staff and said, âYou all continue with your work. Donât waste any more time. Get a move on.â
The manager, now politely smiling, assured her, âMiss Bai, rest assured, tomorrowâs birthday party will be perfect.â
Hearing this, Bai Xue felt a bit relieved. Nevertheless, she was in no mood to remain at the scene after the recent embarrassment. She pretended to check the time and stated, â1 still have some things to take care of.â
Bai Xue tried to console herself, thinking that with everything in place, it might not turn out as bad as she feared.
The manager smiled and assured her, âMiss Bai, please go ahead. There wonât be any delays here.â
Bai Xue nodded and promptly left.
As she exited the room, the hotel staff began to discuss among themselves.
âDammmmmn. Didnât she say he loved her to bits? Why didnât he allow her to change the theme then?â
âWho knows? Sheâs just a mistress, after all.â
âKeep your voices down. We donât want to get fired.â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of?â
âDo you all want to be fired? No matter what, she was still the boss âwomanâ.â
âTsk, who knows? Either way, those rumors that he spoils her silly are all fake.â
âBut Li Yanâs engagement to the Jiang family has been canceled, right?â
âThatâs true, but they didnât disclose this womanâs identity.â
âBut, she just said that Li Yan is her fiance..â
