The car stopped under a five-star hotel, Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the hotel.
After the staff checked the reservation information, the hotel manager personally took them to the rooftop glass restaurant.
The restaurant on the top floor was decorated very uniquely, with transparent glass all around making it feel like an open-air space.
Because there is glass covering, they can turn on the heating, preventing the cold from attacking them from outside.
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong both took off their coats and walked to a relatively secluded spot near the corner.
The nu arrived. Su Xiaong looked at the nu but hadn’t spoken yet when Yin Shixiu said, "Try ordering in English."
Su Xiaong blinked, looking at the half-English, half-Chinese nu in her hand...
Softly said to Yin Shixiu, "Next ti?"
"If you can’t open your mouth once, you’ll never open it; that’s how learning English works."
Yin Shixiu didn’t make it mandatory, but his words were enough to make Su Xiaong struggle internally...
She took a deep breath and waved her hand...
The waiter ca over, speaking softly and clearly, "Miss, would you like to order?"
"Yep."
Su Xiaong responded casually, then stared closely at the nu, stuttering over the English dish nas while murmuring criticisms of herself.
"OK, Please wait for a mont."
When the waitress naturally responded in English,
Su Xiaong couldn’t help but blink again. She looked at the waitress, who smiled at her slightly.
She looked again at Yin Shixiu...
Yin Shixiu also had a faint smile on his face and then said, "The service quality here is pretty good."
"...Yeah."
Su Xiaong had thought the waitress would secretly despise her for showing off...
"If you want to beco a translator, at the very least, you have to be able to open your mouth to speak English."
Yin Shixiu said, "The dostic language environnt isn’t ideal, but that’s not a reason not to open your mouth. If you must wait until you go abroad to practice, you’ll be far behind others."
Su Xiaong rested her chin, "Uncle, when did you start learning English well?"
"When you first began using English to communicate with others, did you also feel awkward?"
Su Xiaong tried to find so common feelings from Yin Shixiu.
Yin Shixiu picked up the lemonade in front of him, took a sip, then looked outside the glass wall and vaguely said, "I grew up in the United Kingdom."
Su Xiaong’s expression froze, then she slumped over the table in so frustration.
Soon, the waitress began serving the dishes, one by one.
Yin Shixiu had eaten airplane food on the plane and wasn’t hungry at the mont, but Su Xiaong hadn’t eaten since lunch.
At this ti, she was eating heartily.
Yin Shixiu drank so red wine, while Su Xiaong wanted to try it, but Yin Shixiu didn’t allow it.
Although Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were drinking less breast milk now, Su Xiaong got drunk easily. Given that they were out,
Yin Shixiu wasn’t sure this woman wouldn’t encounter so trouble.
The two chatted about trivial matters, with Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu discussing what mischief their son and daughter had been up to recently or what funny things they had done.
Yin Shixiu responded a few tis and would briefly ntion his recent work situation.
Su Xiaong sotis understood but did her best to grasp it, and for parts she didn’t understand, she would ask Yin Shixiu to explain.
The al lasted almost two hours.
After Yin Shixiu paid the bill, Su Xiaong went to the restroom.
After coming out of the restroom, she saw a beautiful young woman touching up her makeup at the washstand.
She looked about the sa age as Su Xiaong, but her features were very defined, with long eyelashes, resembling a doll, very striking.
Rong Qiao noticed Su Xiaong staring at her and also sized up Su Xiaong before indifferently turning her gaze away.
Putting the lipstick into her clutch, she was about to leave, as Su Xiaong finished washing her hands, taking two hand towels to dry them, then followed Rong Qiao.
Who knew as the restroom door was pulled open, a cleaner was about to co in carrying a bucket of dirty water, and as the door suddenly opened from the inside, the cleaner was taken by surprise, and the bucket wobbled unstably!
Dirty water spilled out!
It splashed directly on Su Xiaong and Rong Qiao’s shoes.
"What is wrong with you?!"
Seeing her brand-new Armani boots stained with dirty water, Rong Qiao exploded on the spot!
"I-I’m sorry!"
The cleaner was a forty-year-old aunt, wearing a hotel staff uniform, and when she realized the trouble she had caused, she promptly apologized repeatedly.
Knowing she had caused trouble.
"Sorry? Is sorry enough? Is this how your hotel staff clean? Pouring dirty water on guests’ shoes?!"
Rong Qiao looked at her new shoes, just worn on her feet, then at the old aunt in front of her, with a face of disgust.
"I’m sorry, Miss, I’m really sorry, let clean it for you."
Saying this, the cleaning lady squatted down to wipe Rong Qiao’s shoes.
As soon as Rong Qiao saw that the lady was holding a dirty rag to touch her shoes, she was even more furious and jumped back!
Pulling her foot away, she imdiately said, "Get away! Call your manager over!"
"Ah? Miss... I’m really sorry, I didn’t an to..."
Upon hearing that Rong Qiao wanted to call the manager, the cleaning lady knew she would be complained about and imdiately turned pale with anxiety.
Standing nearby, Su Xiaong saw this pretty girl being sowhat aggressive and couldn’t help but frown. She stepped forward and advised softly, "Miss, the lady has already apologized, why not let it go?"
Hearing soone else chiming in, Rong Qiao beca even angrier. She turned to Su Xiaong, "She apologizes, so I should let it go? Why?"
"No, what I an is the lady didn’t do it on purpose. Look, you want to call the manager to complain, and that scares her. Can’t you be magnanimous and settle this privately without complaining to her manager?"
Su Xiaong said.
Looking at this forty-sothing lady in front of her, about the sa age as her own mother, how could she bear to see a middle-aged woman of this age endure too much bla and hardship?
Besides...
This pretty woman obviously cos from a wealthy family.
No matter how expensive the shoes are, they are just a pair of shoes, is it really necessary to fuss over it?
That’s what Su Xiaong thought.
But Rong Qiao didn’t think that way; she had been spoiled into arrogance.
Even if her family was rich, it was her family’s money. If soone broke her stuff, there was only one word: compensate!
Originally, if the lady compensated her for the shoes, she would have let it go.
But this girl who appeared out of nowhere with a lecture-like attitude was really getting on Rong Qiao’s nerves.
After giving Su Xiaong another up-and-down look, she curled her lips and sneered, "What are you pretending to be a goody-two-shoes for? It’s not your shoes that got dirty, is it?"
As soon as Rong Qiao said this, Su Xiaong quickly pointed at her own shoes, "My shoes got wet too."
Rong Qiao let out a cold snort, her voice even louder.
"Do your few hundred yuan shoes compare to my five-figure shoes?!"
Originally, Su Xiaong thought her few hundred yuan shoes couldn’t compare to the thousands of others, but listening to Rong Qiao’s tone.
The stubbornness in her surged as well, "If my few hundred yuan shoes got wet, it’s no big deal. Can sothing possibly happen to your shoes over ten thousand yuan?"
"If these shoes are so delicate that a little dirty water makes them unwearable, then these shoes are too delicate... Oh no, how can shoes be delicate? It’s the person who’s delicate."
"Who are you calling delicate?"
"Whoever acknowledges it."
Su Xiaong shrugged, not backing down. Actually, she knew that the more expensive the shoes, the less they could withstand being ruined, but she couldn’t bear the arrogant air of this young miss in front of her, especially against a cleaning lady.
The two were about the sa height, but with Su Xiaong’s chin held high, she appeared slightly taller than Rong Qiao.
"Fine, delicate is delicate, so what if I am? Are you going to call your manager or not?"
Rong Qiao turned her head and glared fiercely at the frightened cleaning lady.
"Why call a manager? It’s just a bit of dirty water, right?"
Su Xiaong bent down, dipped her hand into the bucket of dirty water, and sprinkled so on Rong Qiao’s shoes.
"What are you doing?!"
Rong Qiao’s voice suddenly beca sharp.
Su Xiaong blinked, looking at her, "Now that I’ve dirtied your shoes, it has nothing to do with the lady anymore, does it?"
Rong Qiao frowned tightly, glaring at Su Xiaong, not understanding where she ca from! How could she dare to oppose her like this!
"Miss, this bucket of dirty water was mopped up by the cleaning lady, and this floor is dirty because you stepped on it with your expensive shoes."
"...What do you an?"
"I an, don’t be too aggressive, bullying a cleaning lady, making a fuss here. In the end, who’s the one losing face?"
Su Xiaong spoke with assurance, which made Rong Qiao’s heart burn with anger.
"I am definitely going to find the manager!"
Su Xiaong frowned, not understanding why this sweet-looking girl in front of her insisted on being so confrontational.
At this mont, the three of them were at the entrance of the won’s restroom, arguing over such a trivial matter.
Su Xiaong thought the situation looked bad, her eyes shifted, and she thought carefully, then said to Rong Qiao, "Alright, since you insist on finding the manager to complain, I’ll go with you and serve as a witness for this lady."
"...Witness?"
Rong Qiao was even more puzzled.
Su Xiaong raised her eyebrows, "I’ll just tell the manager that you bumped into the cleaning lady first, then unreasonably demanded she compensate for your shoes. You are extorting her!"
Rong Qiao stared at Su Xiaong in shock, and the cleaning lady beside her was also panic-stricken upon hearing this.
Suddenly wide-eyed, Su Xiaong’s presence in her vision filled the cleaning lady with both gratitude and...apprehension.
Seeing the cleaning lady was honest and, upon hearing Su Xiaong’s bluffing of Rong Qiao while pinning such a big label on her, her expression changed imdiately.
She quickly blinked at the cleaning lady, signaling her not to speak.
The cleaning lady’s mouth moved slightly, caught in a mont of hesitance and struggle, but fortunately, she finally didn’t speak up.
