Chapter 396: Chapter 425: Continue Losing Face (3rd Update)
Today’s wedding banquet feels like a suspenseful blockbuster!
Twists and turns everywhere!
Until the last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.
"This ring wasn’t bought by you, so it doesn’t count!" Lu Zhou said, his face darkening as he completely denied it.
His words drew a lot of hisses, typical of playing the sulky card, huh.
He went on to say, "Being a good match isn’t just about money, it’s also about one’s qualities and abilities."
"I studied abroad before high school, visiting no less than twenty countries, and I speak five foreign languages: English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Now, after graduating from university, I manage a company, with annual revenue growing by twenty percent!"
"Can you say you have all this too?"
Many girls looked at Lu Zhou with changed, admiring eyes.
As for the guys, there was more envy. That innate advantage is really hard to beat, although everyone knows that the so-called company is just the Lu family’s, right?
Yet at this moment, everyone thought Lin Xi had nothing to say.
After all, it’s known he doesn’t even have a job, so what could he compare with Lu Zhou?
Lu Zhou was obviously bullying people.
"Sorry, whatever you can do, I can do as well. And I can even do things you can’t, like speaking Arabic and Hindi." Lin Xi smiled, as if he was hitting right on target, "As for managing a company, I don’t, but actually, you mean you can earn money!"
"Who’s not capable of making money? I just made a hundred million a few days ago. Can you earn that much in a year?"
Zhou Yan couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xi in surprise, and others looked at Lin Xi with skeptical faces.
This kid is so young, isn’t he exaggerating?
Even when boasting, you should know when to stop. This kind of obvious lie, you’d better not say it!
"Ha ha." Lu Zhou sneered, clearly unconvinced, and said, "Alright, let me say a sentence in French, and you translate it. If it’s correct, I’ll believe you speak one of them, and I’ll test you in other languages later."
"Okay." Lin Xi paused before answering, which seemed to many as him feeling guilty.
So everyone focused, waiting for Lin Xi to embarrass himself.
Lu Zhou coughed twice and started reciting, "Si vous avez de la chance de vivre à Paris quand vous êtes jeune, alors n’importe où vous irez après, Paris sera toujours avec vous, car Paris est un festin mobile."
"Please translate for everyone, what does this mean?" He asked again after finishing.
Quite a few guests looked at Lu Zhou with admiration, then turned to Lin Xi, waiting for his response.
At this time, Zhou Yan grew anxious, starting to secretly blame herself for wanting Lin Xi, who bullied her before, to embarrass himself here.
But as the moment of embarrassment approached, she found herself somewhat unwilling.
"Why don’t we leave?" Zhou Yan whispered to Lin Xi, even Xin Xiaoxue and Fang Cheng thought the same.
As for marriage proposals, Zhou Yan simply wouldn’t consider Lu Zhou.
Also, his mother’s conditions, what nonsense is that, truly treating her like a typical girl, expecting her to be a material girl?
She wanted to say, "Ha ha," you really overthink!
But Lin Xi shook his head at her, then looked at Lu Zhou and said, "This is from Hemingway, the meaning is roughly that if you’re lucky enough to have lived in Paris when you were young, then wherever you go afterwards, Paris stays with you, because Paris is a movable feast."
"However, you made several pronunciation mistakes, swapped the order of a few words."
"You said you studied abroad before high school, and you still mess up such simple grammar, even a famous quote, which surprised me. Was your French taught by the P.E. teacher?"
PS: Thanks to everyone for the monthly votes and recommendations. In fact, these and the next Chapter were written last night, just haven’t been modified yet. Now I’ve squeezed out a bit of time from work to fix them.
