Chapter 76—Special Announcement!
The next day, Xu Long Wei requested all the staff of Jia Garden to gather in the main hall for a sudden announcement. The staff member who remembered the previous incident was adamant about moving their feet and leaving their spot, suspecting that something unfortunate might happen again tonight.
However, Butler Yang reassured them that their master had no intention to reprimand them; so far, he hadn't heard any issues. Believing the butler's word, they all moved to the area and waited for the family to arrive.
A few minutes later, three people entered the hall, so they bowed their heads and greeted them in unison. Xu Li is seen holding his mother's hand while he has his father's large hand on the other side.
Xu Long Wei didn't waste any more time and addressed his staff. "I gathered you tonight because I have an announcement to make. In two weeks, your mistress and I have decided to open Jia Garden for the first time. We will have a massive party to celebrate my marriage with your mistress. As the people I trusted the most in maintaining Jia's garden, I expect everyone to do their job and make sure that the party will go smoothly."
Butler Yang was surprised by the unexpected news, but he recovered from his stunned expression, and then a huge smile plastered his face. Like him, the staff was also delighted, and it shows in their faces; they are glad the house they are serving will have a complete family.
Although they didn't have a pleasant opinion of their mistress at first, as they spent time with her these past few days, they learned that she is mostly misunderstood because of her silent personality. Which, in their opinion, should be a common occurrence by now, since their master is quite similar.
Everyone in the hall gives the couple massive applause followed by congratulatory words. However, the most elated person after hearing the news is definitely the small version of Xu Long Wei, Xu Li. His parents tried their best to hide this piece of information from him, so he was not aware of their plan to marry.
Learning that his parents will marry excites him, so he couldn't control himself from giving them a massive hug. "Mommy, Daddy, are you really going to get married?"
Staring at the brilliant light of excitement in his son's eyes, Jia knelt and patted her son on the head. "My sweet, what are you talking about? Your daddy and I are already married; two weeks later will only be a formality to tell our family that I am your mom and that I am back."
"Yeheey! I can't wait for my cousins to see you!" Xu Li exclaimed.
The staff who were witnessing the heartwarming scene in front of them were shocked again. They didn't know that their master and mistress had already tied the knot. All this time they thought that the head of the wealthiest family in Country X was single. Even the news outlet that continuously digs for his past relationship couldn't find anything to spill to the public. "Damn, these two are indeed mysterious. How many secrets does this couple purposely hide from others? For sure, Country X's elite will be shaken by this news!
In their mind, they could already visualize the devastated expression of the entire woman in country X when they hear that the aloof and mysterious bachelor is already taken and in a loving relationship. Though they doubted this knowledge would stop any woman from scheming to take Xu Long Wei from his wife.
Glancing at their mistress' face, however, made them retract their thoughts. No, the woman is too formidable to challenge, and based on their last experience when their master was seduced, any woman who would plan to take him will have a dreadful end. They shudder at the thought.
Butler Yang took over and informed the staff to return to their jobs. Tomorrow, he will notify them of their part to help with the preparation. They move out of the room thrilled; they can't wait to see the house vibrant with colors, lights, and people appreciating the beauty of Jia Garden.
