At this point, a 360-degree encompassing light focused on her, but she showed no signs of stage fright. After taking her position, she slightly raised both arms.
She didn't fully extend her arms, as if a pre-determined gesture had only been half completed. Her face bore a mix of 70% perfunctory, 20% impatience, and 10% indifference, then she withdrew her hands, repositioning them in front of her lower abdomen and slightly leaning forward, she began speaking into the microphone—
"Thank you for coming. I don't have anything special to say, I just hope you all enjoy everything my family has prepared for me."
Having said that, she nodded gently at Zuo Zongcai, then grasping the hem of her dress, she turned and left the stage from the side.
The guests below had hardly reacted when she had already drifted away like a cloud.
Getting on stage took about two minutes, but her speech and exit together lasted only 15 seconds, brisk and unexpected, leaving people gaping in astonishment.
