Chapter 188: Chapter 191: Understatement is the Most Luxurious Show-off_1
Originally, Yang Gang was just teasing, but Tong Xin really hesitated.
Her two index fingers tapped together as various thoughts swam in her eyes.
Just then, a Ferrari stopped abruptly next to them.
The car door opened, and a gorgeously dressed woman hopped out of the car and hugged Tong Xin enthusiastically, "Darling, I’m back!"
Tong Xin looked at the enthusiastic woman, glanced warily at Yang Gang, and smiled, "Little Ying, how come you didn’t give me a heads up about your return? I could have picked you up from the airport."
"Hehe, I wanted to surprise you. I was planning to go directly to your place, but I ran into you halfway." She glanced at Yang Gang standing behind Tong Xin, "And this man, could he be your boyfriend?"
Tong Xin said seriously, "He’s my fiancé."
The woman rolled her eyes dramatically, "I’m not trying to steal him from you, why are you in such a hurry to clarify? Also, my darling is much more handsome than your fiancé."
At this moment, a man walked out of the Ferrari. He was indeed handsome, but in Miss Tong’s opinion, Yang Gang still seemed to be more attractive.
"Hello, I’m Yang Gang, Tong Xin’s fiancé. Your girlfriend is really beautiful." Yang Gang walked up to him and greeted warmly.
The woman seemed a bit surprised and whispered to Tong Xin, "Sweetie, your fiancé seems quite sociable."
Tong Xin’s face darkened a bit, "Su Ying, I know you too well. You only think he’s sociable because he complimented you. I know just how much of a sharp tongue you have."
Su Ying’s boyfriend was a bit embarrassed. He had prepared his lines, but Yang Gang beat him to them.
He composed himself and responded, "Thank you, your fiancée is also very beautiful."
"Alright, stop trying to outdo each other. Come over, let’s formally introduce ourselves." Su Ying waved them over.
Yang Gang saw that this woman named Su Ying was quite lively. He didn’t feel particularly annoyed by her for now.
Yang Gang walked over with the other man.
"Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Su Ying, Tong Xin’s best friend. This is my boyfriend Nuo Ke, his Chinese name is Liu Ke. He’s Chinese-American." Su Ying said.
Tong Xin also chimed in: "Little Ying has already introduced herself, so I won’t repeat. This is my fiancé, Yang Gang."
Su Ying glanced at Yang Gang and laughed, "Although your boyfriend is not as handsome as Liu Ke, he’s still not bad."
"Hehe." Tong Xin twitched her lips, feeling displeased in her heart, "What do you mean? My fiancé is obviously the more handsome one, okay?"
"It’s getting late, let’s go eat dinner now. There’s a good French restaurant nearby." Yang Gang suggested.
"I know that French restaurant. The food there is incredibly delicious. But I heard that the restaurant is a bit peculiar. The servers there all speak French, and not a word of Huaxia, or even English. If your French isn’t good, you won’t be able to communicate at all." Tong Xin said.
Su Ying chuckled, "Don’t worry. Liu Ke can speak French. He’s passed the French TOEFL exam."
"Oh, that’s good." Tong Xin said.
Su Ying bragged, "Liu Ke has a great talent for languages. Not only is he fluent in Huaxia and English, his French is also good. He also speaks a bit of Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean. It’s really convenient to be multilingual these days."
"Mm, indeed." Tong Xin turned to Yang Gang, "Yang Gang, you need to learn more foreign languages too. Otherwise, when we go on our honeymoon overseas after getting married, we’ll have to hire a translator."
Yang Gang chuckled, "Yes, missus."
Su Ying felt a bit smug. She could tell that Tong Xin was a bit jealous that she had a boyfriend who was like a translation machine.
Even though they were best friends, it was hard to predict the thoughts of these girls. Even best friends would compare with each other in many ways.
Ordinary girls might compare grades or jobs, but rich girls like Tong Xin mainly compared boyfriends or fiancés.
Clearly, in this silent competition with Su Ying, Tong Xin had lost this round.
Su Ying glanced at Yang Gang, and smirked, "Even though Yang Gang hasn’t been abroad and doesn’t speak any foreign languages, I believe that any man Xinxin chooses must have some talent in certain areas. Liu Ke is gifted just in terms of languages."
"Yeah, I admit, language talent is definitely my weak point." Yang Gang admitted blandly.
"It’s okay. If you’re not going abroad, knowing foreign languages isn’t that useful." Su Ying consoled Yang Gang.
Yang Gang laughed but did not say anything.
Then, the four of them arrived at the nearby French restaurant.
At the entrance, a waiter came up to them and asked in French, "Can I help you with anything?"
"Uh, we, we want, um, to eat." Liu Ke stuttered for a long while before expressing their intent to dine in French.
In young master Yang’s opinion, Liu Ke’s level of French was basic, at best.
He could probably reach this level after half a day of self-study.
However, Young Master Yang didn’t say anything.
The four of them followed the waiter to a private room.
"According to the customs of French dining, once the meal begins, it’s considered impolite to move around. So, take this chance to touch up your makeup or use the restroom if you need to." Yang Gang mentioned casually.
Su Ying looked at Yang Gang surprisingly, "Yang Gang, even though you can’t speak French, you seem to know quite a lot about French dining etiquette."
Yang Gang grinned, "This is basically useless information. You can just search it up on Baidu."
"Hehe, Tong Xin, your boyfriend is quite humble." Su Ying turned to Tong Xin and said.
"Hehe, he’s alright." Tong Xin responded somewhat awkwardly.
Su Ying stood up, "I’m going to go to the restroom."
...
Su Ying was now filled with regret, "Ah, this is driving me crazy! I got lost! And I can’t even ask for directions because I can’t speak French."
At that moment, a blonde waiter walked up to Su Ying and asked politely, "Miss, how may I assist you?"
Su Ying inwardly agonized, "What kind of weird restaurant is this? Isn’t there anyone who speaks English?"
"Ah, what should I do? What should I do?" This was the first time Su Ying felt so helpless. She was starting to regret coming to this restaurant. She had insisted on eating here to show off her boyfriend’s language skills. As a result, she had ended up embarrassing herself.
Just then, a figure appeared and said, "This lady is my companion, she just got lost. Thanks for your concern."
His French was fluent, with a Parisian accent. Even though Su Ying didn’t understand what he meant, it was clear that his language skills were tremendous.
Su Ying looked at Yang Gang who had suddenly appeared, feeling utterly shocked, "Turns out, you can speak French?"
"I know a little." Yang Gang said with a slight smile.
Su Ying’s face was burning with embarrassment.
Even though she didn’t understand what Yang Gang was saying, it was clear that Yang Gang knew far more than ’a little’ French, way more than her own boyfriend!!
But he hadn’t said anything about it.
Keeping a low profile was truly the most luxurious form of showing off.
Oh, come to think of it, Yang Gang had said that language talent was his biggest weakness...
