Chapter 1031: Do You Know Who I Am? (4)
All the color drained from Li Xue’s face at once.
Yao Lili was even more speechless, but she recovered quickly enough to react and say, “So what if you speak French? Miss Li learnt it by herself! Besides, after listening to you ramble, I can tell your accent in French isn’t even half as good as hers.”
This remark caused Li Xue to frown.
Anyone who had ears could tell that Shi Nianyao was obviously more fluent in French than her.
But Li Xue wasn’t going to admit defeat.
She cleared her throat and smiled. “It’s no wonder that Ms. Shi is so fluent at French, it was your major. So I was displaying my amateur skill before an expert just now. Don’t mind me, I have only picked up a few phrases by myself. I’ve even learnt a few words in Japanese.”
Having said this, she turned to the French cuisine waitress and said, “I do recall you have a Japanese chef, he is very skilled. Please call for him.”
The waitress nodded and walked out of the room.
Shortly after, the Japanese chef came in. He bowed to greet them and said in Japanese, “Pleased to meet you.”
In simple Japanese, Li Xue started to communicate with him, showing off her ability and also telling Yao Lili, “The chef says that their fish steaks are made by pan-frying the freshest cuts, guaranteeing the tenderness.”
Yao Lili was impressed. “Miss Li, so you are not only good at French, you’re fluent in Japanese too!”
She was full of praises again, “You are awesome! But it’s not a surprise. People from wealthy families like us learn different languages to kill time, unlike others, who learn them for survival.”
She turned towards Shi Nianyao at this point and asked, “Do you know Japanese?”
Shi Nianyao paused.
At the same time, the Japanese chef asked Li Xue, “Miss, may I know how much fish by weight you’d like to order?”
Li Xue cast her gaze down and smirked faintly, as she told the chef, “Perhaps you’d like to ask the other lady.”
The Japanese chef hesitated for a moment.
Yao Lili asked Li Xue, “Li Xue, what is he saying?”
Smiling, Li Xue said, “The chef is praising Ms. Yao’s pretty looks. He says he’d like to have a few words with her.”
In any case, none of the other three knew Japanese.
Hence, no one would know how obviously evil she was.
But as soon as this thought entered her mind, Shi Nianyao had already started communicating with the chef in effortless Japanese.
Li Xue was speechless.
How- how was this possible?
It was well enough that this commoner knew French—after all, it had been her major.
But Japanese…
After Shi Nianyao had communicated with the chef, she turned to the others and told them, “I’ve asked for a kilo of fish. It’s just perfect for four steaks.”
Yao Lili was visibly stunned by now. She looked at Shi Nianyao steadily and asked, “How- how- how do you know Japanese?”
“Oh, I majored in Japanese.”
Yao Lili gulped and asked again, “What else did you major in?”
Shi Nianyao lowered her head at this point, looking at her fingers as she counted, “French, Japanese, Latin… does English count? Italian… Not many, I only know eight languages.”
Li Xue was speechless.
Eight languages… only!
As Shi Nianyao said this, she even lamented to herself that her big brother knew more than ten languages.
Then she grinned as she saw the changed expression on Li Xue’s face.
