Chapter 273: Soft Bones

What’s more, the victim Li Mingyue kept silent, what could they do?

After all, it was just an accidental collision. Wouldn't it be bad if we make a big fuss about it?

They said they were going abroad to study, but except when applying for visas, they had never met other foreigners, and they were not sure how to deal with them.

I was taught some of it during the previous training, but when we really met face to face, I had forgotten most of it. Moreover, when I opened my mouth to speak, all the English I knew got stuck in my throat and I couldn't say anything.

The foreign man obviously didn't bother to apologize, and what was even more speechless was that he actually complained that Li Mingyue was getting in the way.

The voice was not loud, the speech was fast, and there was some slang in it. Lu Youyou heard it clearly, but she was the only one who understood it.

The old man wanted to step forward to negotiate, but Li Mingyue, who had been silent for half a moment, spoke first.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm fine. I don't blame this foreign comrade." She gritted her teeth and stood up, obviously wanting to calm things down.

The old man looked serious: "Are you really okay?"

He was just thinking that even if there was no need for apology, at least an apology would be necessary, but unexpectedly the victim left first.

Li Mingyue really didn't want to cause trouble, she remembered the face of this foreign man.

When she went to the embassy to apply for a visa, this face flashed past the door of an office. The man had a mole at the corner of his mouth, and she would not make a mistake.

She hasn't arrived in the United States yet, and her study abroad career hasn't started yet, so she really doesn't want to create any trouble.

This person might be an embassy staff member. What if, what if she is sent back as soon as she lands?

She also knew that it would most likely not affect anything, but everything unknown was frightening, and she really didn't dare to take the risk.

Li Mingyue even wanted to apologize first. The "neither humble nor arrogant" attitude that was repeatedly emphasized at the training session had been pushed to the sidelines by worry and fear.

She forced a smile at the two foreigners and said in very stiff English: "Sorry to waste your time."

Some students already have strange expressions on their faces, after all, not everyone is spineless.

It’s fine to keep silent, but isn’t it a bit too much for the victim to apologize?

They turned to look at the teacher in charge, wondering what to do next?

The old man looked at Li Mingyue and felt very disappointed with her.

Keep your back straight, don't be afraid of anything, it's not your fault!

Nothing has happened yet, and the person involved has already backed down. If they continue to speak, wouldn’t it seem like they are being unreasonable?

The foreign man seemed to have expected this outcome. He curled his lips and sneered: "Chinese people are inferior."

The sound was still not loud, but Lu Youyou, who heard it clearly, raised her head suddenly, her eyes like daggers piercing the man's face.

The foreign man was startled and looked over here immediately.

Against the gray background, Lu Youyou's eyes were like a bright lamp in the long night, nailing him to the spot with its sharpness.

"Excuse me, sir, what did you just say?"

It’s not about how fluent Lu Youyou’s English is or how BBC-like her pronunciation is, but about the overwhelming force that forces men to look at her, and then fall into a disadvantage in the invisible swordplay.

"What do you want to do?" the man asked subconsciously.

A standard nonsense opening, a standard sign of evading responsibility.

When Lu Youyou opened her mouth, the classmates' eyes widened, as if they did not expect that the one who would stand up and speak would be the "flower of the high mountain" Lu Youyou.

I never expected her to be so strong. The steps she took just now were amazing. Her aura was over 2.8 meters!

Li Mingyue was also dumbfounded. She had already rehearsed the subsequent plot in her mind - she apologized, the matter was over, her ankle was sprained, it was her bad luck.

Who knew that a Lu Youyou suddenly rushed out!

Li Mingyue's mind was in a mess. She felt a little happy that someone stood up for her, but she was mostly anxious and flustered.

It won’t affect her place in studying abroad, right? Otherwise, stop making a fuss and go to the United States first.

The old man rushed over and stood in front of Lu Youyou. He couldn't let the students rush to the front no matter what, otherwise what was the point of the teacher leading the team?

Lu Youyou took a step to the left, bypassing the skinny "mother hen" with her wings spread out, and faced the foreign man who thought he was superior.

"Sir, is it because what you said was inappropriate that you dare not admit it?"

Before she finished speaking, the man's face had already turned half dark.

After all, he is in China and is surrounded by Chinese people. Of course, he cannot say such insulting words in public.

Damn it, aren’t all Chinese people docile sheep? Is this woman an overseas Chinese?

He has been in China for two years and has never heard such authentic English!

He stared at Lu Youyou angrily, hating her for being aggressive: "Miss, I don't know what you are talking about!"

There is no evidence, so he just has to deny it.

Lu Youyou spoke, and in a clear and cool voice she repeated the two offensive words the man had just said.

Not a single word is missing, even the tone is the same.

The man's face changed immediately. If it hadn't been for a woman's voice, he would have almost thought it was a recording replayed.

"You, what are you talking about? Don't slander others casually!"

It is not right for the foreign man to reveal his identity now, and it is not right not to reveal his identity either. He is indeed an embassy staff member. If this matter is made public, it will definitely have a bad impact.

Lu Fang was standing next to Lu Youyou. He had only heard the general idea before, but now he finally understood it and stood next to Lu Youyou.

His English was not that fluent, but he was still determined to ask the foreign man for an explanation.

At this moment, a thin female voice suddenly came out.

"Student Lu, I'm fine. You see, we're about to leave, or..."

Li Mingyue didn't want to speak at first, but the foreign man's eyes wandered around in panic and just happened to pass over her face, and she was startled.

The anxiety that I had barely suppressed surfaced again.

Why didn't she stand steadily? If she hadn't fallen, so many problems wouldn't have happened!

Lu Youyou turned her head expressionlessly, and the coldness in her eyes made Li Mingyue shiver.

"You can't even stand up and talk in your own home, what are you going to do when you go out?"

Just kneel down?

Lu Youyou didn't say the second half of the sentence, but her eyes clearly expressed the meaning.

Many people felt nervous. It's not that they were not angry, but they just didn't have the courage to confront foreigners over such a small matter.

Many people didn't hear clearly just now. After Lu Youyou repeated it word by word, anyone who could understand it would be angry.

Lu Youyou has already stood up. If they don’t speak up, the foreigners might think that the Chinese are easy to bully.

More and more people were questioning him, and the foreign man couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, compared to Li Mingyue, he was the one who didn't want to cause trouble even more.

Now is the honeymoon period between China and the United States. Even if he is a thoroughgoing racist, at least he cannot show it on his face.

As a small embassy staff member, he did not want to cause a diplomatic conflict, so facing the angry students, he could only apologize.

He said sorry with a dark face and left in a hurry with his female companion.

As soon as he left, Li Mingyue became the one who was embarrassed.

Although no one said anything and everyone could understand her original intention of settling things peacefully, compared to Lu Youyou's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, the label of being a spineless person had been firmly pinned on her head.
