Chapter 397: Chapter 426: French? (Fourth Update)
Everyone was stunned by Lin Xi’s confident reply and her counterattack against Lu Zhou, even Lu Zhou’s mother, Tang Qiaohua, was taken aback.
Was there really a problem with that French sentence just now?
This was unbelievable for Tang Qiaohua because she had invested a lot of money for Lu Zhou during his years abroad, hoping he would gain more knowledge and learn extensively.
Now, people are saying her son’s French is awful; how could she believe this?
"You’re lying!" Lu Zhou’s face changed instantly, and he shouted with a somewhat fierce expression, "How could I make such a mistake? What I said just now was obviously correct. If you don’t understand, don’t speak nonsense!"
Lin Xi remained calm, smiling as she took out her phone, "I just happened to accidentally record what you said earlier."
"If you claim I am talking nonsense, well, I happen to know a French professor from Jiangnan University living nearby. I think I’ll invite him over!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Beep... beep..."
The phone rang, waiting for the other side to answer.
Within a few seconds, the call was answered, and Lin Xi said, "Professor Peng, I’m at the ## hotel near your house. Do you have time now?"
"Yes, I have time. That’s perfect. Could you please come over for a moment? I have a bit of trouble here.
"Mm-hmm, I’ll be waiting for you here."
After hanging up, Lin Xi saw Lu Zhou opposite her, his face turning black and his body trembling slightly.
At this moment, without even needing speculation, it felt like what Lin Xi had said might mostly be true.
Furthermore, she added, "Professor Peng is not only proficient in French but also skilled in many languages. Just in time, he has studied the five languages you know; we can try them together later."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou’s face turned even darker, unable to utter a word in refutation.
Meanwhile, Peng Bo, at Jiangnan University, was playing games in his dorm room, bewilderedly answering a call from his boss, who babbled a bunch of nonsense before hanging up.
Considering calling back to ask, but decided against it!
Probably, the boss is just showing off in front of a girl!
"Meanwhile, while waiting for the professor to arrive, I have a sentence I’d like you to translate!" Lin Xi ignored the already dark-faced Lu Zhou and said, "Vive de tus padres hasta que puedas vivir de tus hijos."
"Come on, tell everyone, what does it mean?"
The guests present all looked at Lu Zhou with expectant eyes, hoping he would make a comeback and prove he’s not so lousy!
Because the guests present maintained a neutral attitude, except for the Lu family’s relatives, of course.
As for why, one reason was that Lin Xi was seemingly too arrogant, but more importantly, it was Zhou Yan’s boyfriend, which made many people jealous and envious, while Lu Zhou, many thought he was rather hypocritical and shameless.
"I haven’t been to France for several years now, so I’m a bit rusty; making a mistake is understandable!" Lu Zhou forced himself to endure the embarrassment, denying what he had just done, and continued, "If I misunderstood what you just said, the meaning should be: ’The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to search for light.’"
Anyway, he did not see Lin Xi’s recording this time.
So, he translated it randomly.
After all, those who understand French domestically are pitifully few, let alone at a wedding banquet where the chances are extremely low.
Actually, even if there were people at the wedding who knew French, would they dare to stand up and refute him?
Hearing Lu Zhou’s translation, Lin Xi immediately shook her head, but it was all within her expectations, so she remained calm and wasn’t as flustered as before.
"This sentence does not mean what you said. Its meaning is to live off your parents until you can be supported by your children." Lin Xi explained playfully.
Lu Zhou growled angrily, immediately retorting, "You’re reversing things. Clearly, it’s what I said; are you bullying everyone for not understanding French?"
"French?" Lin Xi was taken aback, "I was speaking Spanish!"
