Shi 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 assumed 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 Shi Nianyao . “I’ve asked for a private room, is that okay?”
Mo Xicheng nodded .
Shi 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 Shi Nianyao .
Shi 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 .
Shi 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 . ”
Shi Nianyao fumed .
Damn! This was just an excuse to get close to her idol .
How could she possibly let Li Xue have her way with this one?
Shi Nianyao narrowed her eyes and smiled .
Li Xue then shifted her gaze to Shi 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 Shi 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 .
Shi Nianyao couldn’t help grinning when she saw the anticipation 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 . ”
