She threw a look of satisfaction at Mo Xicheng and raised an eyebrow.
Right from the start, Mo Xicheng had kept silent, just sitting back and observing as Shi Nianyao single-handedly defeated them time and again. She had so effortlessly countered Yao Lili and Li Xue’s attacks.
Strangely, watching how Shi Nianyao showed her capabilities, he suddenly found her very clever and adorable.
His Nianyao had turned out to be a genius!
She knew eight languages… It looked like he would have to work harder to keep up.
Li Xue was already speechless with anger at this point.
Instead, it was Yao Lili who spoke again after recovering from the shock, “Huh! Still, nothing beats speaking our own mother tongue, Mandarin. What’s the point of knowing so many languages? Not like you’re going to be an interpreter!”
Shi Nianyao sighed and said, “It happens that being an interpreter was my childhood dream.”
Unfortunately, her elder brother had felt that the job was too demanding and hadn’t let her do it.
But obviously, Li Xue and Yao Lili misunderstood her remark.
They thought it meant that she didn’t have the status or means to become an interpreter.
The two of them smirked and lowered their heads.
Randomly, Li Xue started again, “Ms. Shi, do you play the piano?”
On that note, Yao Lili added, “Our Li Xue has a level nine certificate in piano! So do you play?”
Did she play?
Errr.
Shi Nianyao smiled and replied, “A little.”
Being on national level 10 was really nothing. After all, it wasn’t as if she was a concert pianist.
Li Xue paused.
Yao Lili continued, “Indeed, everyone took piano lessons in grade school. How could you possibly not play a little?”
Shi Nianyao raised an eyebrow at that remark and said nothing.
One could say that this meal was extremely exhausting.
Li Xue and Yao Lili wouldn’t stop trying to provoke her so that they could beat her. However, she either stared blankly in pretense or, like the moment she spoke French, she would defeat them completely.
This girl Shi Nianyao… Who would have thought she was this knowledgeable?
The four of them walked out of the restaurant together after the meal.
Once outside the restaurant, Yao Lili said to her son, “Mo Xicheng, why don’t you take Miss Li back to her hotel?”
The man frowned at once.
Yao Lili humphed icily and said, “Miss Li came to Hengdian because of you! Does it make sense that you don’t care about her safety?”
His frown deepened.
Upon hearing this, Shi Nianyao took a step forward, intending to volunteer to accompany the girl back instead, but Mo Xicheng reached out and held her back. Then he turned towards Li Xue and said, “Miss Li, which hotel are you staying in?”
“Hengdian Holiday Inn.”
Mo Xicheng nodded, lowered his head and searched on the navigation system of his cell phone.
Thinking that he was going to drive Li Xue to the hotel himself, Yao Lili immediately smiled.
Li Xue looked pleasantly surprised as well and shot Shi Nianyao a triumphant look. She then walked in front of all of them.
But just as they had taken a few steps, a car suddenly pulled up and stopped next to them. Mo Xicheng opened the back door of the vehicle and said, “Miss Li, I’ve got you an express car and will check your whereabouts on the navigation system to ensure your safety. You shouldn’t have any concerns now.”
Li Xue: …!!
Yao Lili: …!!
Yao Lili was now angry and shot at Mo Xicheng, “Mo Xicheng, why are you being so obstinate? I’m asking you to take her back.”
Mo Xicheng lowered his head and then looked at Yao Lili. “Mom, I don’t wish for you and Miss Li to misunderstand anything.”
At once, Li Xue put on a pitiful expression.
