Chapter 1030: Do You Know Who I Am? (3)
s.h.i.+ Nianyao turned to Mo Xicheng and said, “Let’s go and eat. I’m sure they serve delicious food there!”
It was a chance to help her brother advertise.
She would make sure to ask him for an advertising reward when she got home.
She thought this to herself as they made their way to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Xue quickly took the lead. The waitress greeted and welcomed them in French.
Li Xue immediately replied in French.
Actually, there were two service options for this type of French restaurants in China.
The staff who worked in such places spoke both French and Mandarin.
Because it was a French restaurant, they always greeted their patrons in French. If the patron replied in Mandarin, then they would provide their service in Mandarin.
Since Li Xue had replied in French, the waitress a.s.sumed that they preferred to be served in French. Hence from that point on, they spoke in French.
They exchanged a few words before Li Xue turned to look at Mo Xicheng and s.h.i.+ Nianyao. “I’ve asked for a private room, is that okay?”
Mo Xicheng nodded.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao nodded as well.
Yao Lili praised her enthusiastically, “Miss Li, you’re very capable, you speak such fluent French! Our Mo Xicheng doesn’t speak French, he never learnt it.”
Mo Xicheng’s eyes flashed when he heard those words.
When she pointed that out, Li Xue smiled.
Then she turned towards the waitstaff and said, “Please bring us a French menu to the private room, thanks.”
She was all set to make a fool out of s.h.i.+ Nianyao.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao, however, could tell the moment she heard Li Xue speaking French that it wasn’t authentic.
Surely, Li Xue had no idea that she was fluent in eight languages. She had majored in languages at the university!
However…
Her idol didn’t know French?
That wasn’t possible.
She recalled that he had collaborated on a film with a French celebrity previously. At the time, gossip had it that her idol and the French actor had had no problem communicating on a personal level.
But Yao Lili had just said that her idol had never taken French lessons.
It wasn’t surprising though, if one thought about it.
As an illegitimate son of the Mo family, he had already been quite fortunate to have been able to go to school and receive a higher education. Not knowing how to speak French wasn’t surprising at all.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao sighed.
She followed them as they entered the private room.
As soon as they sat down, Yao Lili started to highly praise Li Xue, “Miss Li is so learned indeed, knowing a language as difficult as French. Our Mo Xicheng doesn’t know French and that’s inconceivable! Miss Li, when you have some time, why don’t you give him some lessons?”
Li Xue nodded immediately and said, “Sure.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao fumed.
d.a.m.n! This was just an excuse to get close to her idol.
How could she possibly let Li Xue have her way with this one?
s.h.i.+ Nianyao narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Li Xue then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to s.h.i.+ Nianyao. With a faint smirk, she pointed at the menu and told the waitress, “Please take the order from this lady.”
At once, the waitress handed the menu over to s.h.i.+ Nianyao and asked her a question in French.
Everyone in the private room turned their eyes towards her at once, waiting for her to panic and make a fool out of herself.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao couldn’t help grinning when she saw the antic.i.p.ation on Li Xue’s and Yao Lili’s faces.
She blinked her innocent-looking eyes a few times and pretended to look a little lost, as she lowered her head and stared at the menu.
She flipped through the pages and, just when everyone was expecting that she would just point at a few random items, she suddenly looked up and in her effortlessly fluent French, placed a long order.
After shocking everyone, she turned to look at Li Xue directly and remarked, “Do excuse me, I majored in French.”
