the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1006: Crystal Landon, Is Your Butt Itching Again?
The old lady went to worship Buddha and wouldn’t be home for the weekend. Before leaving, she specifically left Mrs. Zhao behind to guide Crystal. Crystal asked Pearl for the guest list, and then went to the Shaw Mansion early in the morning.
"Mrs. Zhao, can you check if there are any problems with this banquet guest list?" Crystal handed over the list to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao had been by the old lady’s side for many years and had learned about fifty to sixty percent of her skills, which was enough to handle these banquets.
"Miss Crystal, let me take a look first. What type of banquet is it? It might be a bit rushed to arrange the food and drinks now," Mrs. Zhao said with a smile as she took the list.
"I asked some friends to help. These people aren’t mainly coming for the food and drinks. Just prepare some cocktails and some exquisite snacks in a self-service format. We can set it up in this courtyard." Crystal led Mrs. Zhao outside and smiled, "But I’m afraid there will be a lot of gifts, so I’d have to trouble Mrs. Zhao to register them and return them the next day."
"I understand. The old lady mentioned this before she left." Mrs. Zhao checked the list once, and there were no issues; the number of people wasn’t too many, just over twenty. Other than the people from the Howard Family mentioned by Miss Crystal, most of the guests were from regular prominent families. If the Shaw Family were akin to top-ranking officials, these people were at most the sons of third or fourth-rank officials.
Before Crystal arrived, she had already entrusted Hawk to get the drinks, and the expenses for the drinks and snacks were all covered by Pearl. Expecting to both ride the horse and not feed it is impossible.
She discussed the specifics with Mrs. Zhao. Richard Shaw had driven the old lady to worship Buddha in the morning and had just driven back, only to see Crystal setting up a drinks table in the garden in front of the main house. His handsome face immediately darkened as he asked in a low voice, "Crystal, what are you doing?"
"I’m setting up a drinks table." Crystal, busy without even lifting her head, replied, "Pearl wants to bring some friends over tonight to gain some experience. Didn’t she tell you?"
Richard saw her busy like a little spinning top, with fine beads of sweat faintly appearing on her fair small face. Her face was sharp, like a fresh lotus leaf just showing its tip in early spring. He recalled Pearl asking him about the old lady’s Buddhist worship schedule earlier. It seemed she specifically chose a time when the old lady was away to hold the event.
But what could an eighteen-year-old girl like Crystal understand? Richard, who hadn’t been in the Imperial City for years, knew that the Shaw Family kept a low profile. Even the subsidiary branches of the Shaw Family didn’t have very close contact, and Richard was the least patient with such noisy occasions. His handsome face instantly exuded a slight chill as he said indifferently, "In the name of the Shaw Family?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"In my name." Crystal lifted her beautiful face and raised her chin, "If you’re impatient, just stay in your room, or go out for a walk. Anyway, I’ll chase them out in one or two hours. This drinks table is for making cocktails. I’ve hired a bartender, and the other tables are for snacks and cooked food. I haven’t hosted this kind of banquet before, so I’m just practicing. They’re all young people, and if something goes wrong, what could they do? Give me a hard time?"
She was saying this and that, which made Richard’s handsome face a bit ugly. Using the Shaw Family’s venue to hold a small banquet and then asking him, the host, to stay in his room and not come out? Is Crystal feeling itchy again?
"Young Master, the old lady agreed to this event. Here’s the guest list. I’ve looked it over; there shouldn’t be any major issues," Mrs. Zhao handed over the list.
