Chapter 130 Will it work?
Mother Ji looked around four times, "Hua Yan, have you seen your Aunt Chen?"
Ji Huayan said, "I didn't see it."
"That's strange, how can you not find it?" Ji's mother urged, "Don't just sit there, look for it quickly."
Ji Huayan didn't want her to see Chen Yan at all, but she was just perfunctory, thinking that they would both leave soon. Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a tall figure sitting in the auction seat.
She seemed to have seen this man somewhere before. By the way, that night, he and his sister came to the Gu family's housewarming party together. At that time, his sister had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
She didn't see clearly that night, but it turned out that this man was actually quite good-looking. Sitting in that position, it seemed that he had a good family background.
Before she could think more, there was a commotion around her. A foreigner dressed as a reporter was gesticulating and saying something, looking very anxious.
The people sitting around him were all Chinese, and seeing this, they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"What is he talking about?"
"I don't know. Where's his translator?"
"It seems like he left for something. Does anyone understand what he is saying? He seems to have something urgent.. Is there anyone who understands a foreign language?"
"Yes, yes, whoever understands can come and help..."
Seeing this, Ji's mother hurriedly said to Ji Huayan, "Hey, didn't you study abroad for three years? Then you should understand what he is saying. Go and translate it. If you can help, won't Chen Yan look at him with new eyes?"
The most important thing is to stand out in front of so many people, which will only benefit the Ji family. If we can get the favor of foreigners and promote it to them, wouldn't it be even better? Then we won't need to look at Chen Yan's eyes again.
Thinking of this, Ji's mother was excited and pushed Ji Huayan, "Go!"
Facing the aggressive look of Ji's mother, Ji Huayan was in a dilemma. She couldn't say that she didn't go to Europe at all, but used their money to go to the cheapest small country in Southeast Asia, just to save money for eating, drinking and having fun.
She gritted her teeth, took a step forward and said in broken English, "H, HI..."
When the people around her heard her speak, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her expectantly.
The foreigner thought that someone who could understand foreign languages had come, and his eyes lit up immediately. His speech made Ji Huayan feel overwhelmed.
She couldn't understand what the foreigner was saying at all; he used only unfamiliar words.
Seeing that her face was not right, Ji's mother hurriedly pulled her and asked, "What is this foreigner talking about?"
“…”
Ji's mother was anxious. With so many people watching, wouldn't this make her lose face?
"Didn't you study abroad? Don't you understand?!"
Ji Huayan stammered, "He said, he said something was missing and he wanted to find it..."
"What are you looking for?" Ji's mother was furious. Seeing that she was still hesitating, her face darkened and her voice was cold, "Do you know how to do it?!"
Ji Huayan had a hard time saying her heart out. Facing Ji's mother's murderous gaze, she felt like she was seen through and couldn't help but feel panicked. If Ji Nian Shan knew that she had lied to them, it would not be so easy to get away with it!
Just then, Chen Yan noticed the movement, stood up and came over here, and Zhou Nuan hurriedly followed.
The moment she saw the mother and daughter of the Ji family, Chen Yan frowned.
"How did you get in?"
The mother and daughter of the Ji family looked at each other and said nothing.
Chen Yan asked again, "What happened?"
The people around them quickly told what happened, and finally pointed at Ji Huayan and said, "I thought this lady knew foreign languages, but it turns out she can't understand."
Ji's mother quickly explained, "She understands, she really understands. We sent her abroad to study for three years, and we can cultivate her with all our heart. She is just too nervous. Hua Yan!"
She stared at Ji Huayan intently, with an expression that she didn't want to embarrass her, "Don't be nervous, show your Aunt Chen what you have learned over the years."
Ji Huayan was pushed in front of the foreign reporter again. Upon seeing this, the foreign reporter started talking again, but this time his speaking speed was much slower.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ji Huayan had nowhere to hide and could only prick up his ears and listen with difficulty.
Fortunately, the speed of speech slowed down this time, so she only understood half of it.
Zhou Nuan stood behind Chen Yan and watched with interest.
In the original book, Ji Huayan's character is a kind and smart academic master. In just three short years, she learned a foreign language fluently, without any accent, just like her mother tongue. Later, when the Ji family became bigger, she was in charge of all foreign-related businesses. Gu Xiyue encountered troubles abroad several times, and she helped solve them all.
She also wanted to see how good the foreign language skills of the intelligent heroine were, and whether she was really as good as described in the original book.
She waited for a long time before Ji Huayan stuttered to translate, "He, he said his tripod and, and...some other small things were lost."
and telephoto lens.
She didn't understand this word.
Zhou Nuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: Logically speaking, this word shouldn't be a very difficult one. It's intriguing that Ji Huayan, whose mother tongue is a foreign language, couldn't translate it.
Everyone could see Ji Huayan's unnaturalness, and Chen Yan's brows furrowed even deeper.
Didn't she say she went to study for three years? She couldn't even translate these few sentences properly? Then what did she learn during these years?
Chen Yan thought she was just playing around and not studying hard, so she didn't ask further questions. She just nodded and said, "Then tell your foreign friend not to worry. Where did the thing go missing? Did he forget to take it or drop it somewhere? Ask him to think about it and I can send someone to look for it."
Ji's mother quickly pushed Ji Huayan and said, "Yes, tell your foreign friends as soon as possible."
She was full of hope that as long as Ji Huayan did a good job, Chen Yan would definitely change her opinion of them!
Unexpectedly, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Ji Huayan's heart became more and more panicked. She only knew a little bit to begin with, and now in front of so many people, her mind went blank and she couldn't even remember that little bit.
The more panicked and nervous I became, the more nervous I became, the harder it was to remember. It took me a long time to remember one word, "Don't worry, We, We..."
We tried for a long time but couldn't get it out.
Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw this, they began to whisper, "Will it happen?"
"That's right, if you don't know, just say it. It's embarrassing in front of foreigners."
"I don't think she knows how to do it. Let's go find someone who knows how to do it."
Ji Huayan felt anxious and angry after hearing this, and she wanted to yell at those people who were talking without any hesitation: If you can do it, then do it!
She glared at those gossipers, and suddenly saw Zhou Nuan standing behind Chen Yan, and an idea came to her mind.
This imposter knows foreign languages, let her expose her!!
