Meng Tao actually wanted to buy some things. After all, she had come to Gangcheng, so she should at least bring some gifts back to give to her relatives and friends. However, Dou Nannan repeatedly stopped her from buying anything. Dou Nannan was certainly not trying to save money for her, but was afraid that Meng Tao would not be able to carry the things she bought, so she would have to help carry them. She thought that as a rich lady, she was not willing to be a laborer.

Meng Tao lost her mood for shopping because of Dou Nannan, so she simply decided not to buy anything and just walked around to get a feel for the prices.

Dou Nannan was surprised at Meng Tao's familiarity with various famous brand luxury goods. She knew more than her. When the clerk introduced the products, he sometimes spoke English, but Meng Tao could understand and follow along. Not only in English, she would even insert a sentence or two in French, German, or Japanese depending on the source of the products.

Dou Nannan was confused. She stared at Meng Tao several times, wondering if she had followed the wrong person. How could a country girl know several foreign languages? She was a little panicked: What if she accidentally lost Shen Yu's wife and children?

Fortunately, the voice cannot be 100% similar. Even if you put on makeup on your face, the voice cannot be imitated.

After coming out of the mall, Meng Tao said she was tired from shopping and wanted to take a break. The two of them found a cafe, sat down, ordered some coffee and sipped it slowly.

There were not many customers in the cafe, and the music was soft and soothing, relaxing the body and mind. Dou Nannan and Meng Tao sat in seats facing the street, talking in low voices while looking at the street view outside the glass wall.

"How do you know foreign languages? Did Shen Yu teach you? That can't be so fast. You seem to speak it quite well." Dou Nannan asked.

Meng Tao glanced at her and said, "It wasn't Shen Yu who taught me. I learned it myself."

"Just blow it. You learned it yourself in the countryside? You are so good."

"I have a tutor."

"Even if you're lying, you should consider the person you're lying to."

"There's no need to lie to you. I'm a country boy, but I have tutors. Several of them. Are you jealous?"

"Are chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep your tutors? Haha!"

"Dou Nannan, your parents gave you a very good brain, but you have grown crooked, and you are no different from a stupid winter melon."

"You... can't win the argument, so you just make excuses?!"

"It's obviously your problem."

"I have no problem. It's just that your lie can't be covered up. Nowadays, everyone goes to school to receive education. Who needs a tutor? Especially in the countryside."

"So you are stupid, short-sighted and have a dull mind."

Meng Tao ignored Dou Nannan's angry look, smiled at her, and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with a silver spoon: "Think about it, what else do we have in our countryside besides farmers, chickens, dogs, cows and sheep?"

Dou Nannan was as angry as a frog and refused to answer.

"Well, you don't want to use your brain again, right? They are educated youth who responded to the country's call to go to the countryside to work as production teams and settle down. Most of them graduated from junior high school or high school, and there are also top students who are halfway through college. My house is very spacious, and it was too lonely for me to live alone after my grandfather passed away. The production team arranged for several educated youth to live in my house. They all graduated from high school, and one of them went to college. I don't want rent, I just want them to be my tutors, so I have eight tutors, one of whom is fluent in eight foreign languages. Do you understand?"

[Qian Liang, who is thousands of miles away, is under great pressure: Taohua, let's be modest, let's just say five.] Dou Nannan lowered her eyes, then raised them again stubbornly: "I don't believe it. The country is in need of talents right now. If he really knows eight foreign languages, he should have been hired long ago."

Meng Tao: "You, you are not smart and your thinking is too simple. If you can be of use, would you still go to the countryside?"

"You, if you say that again, I will be rude to you!"

Dou Nannan was almost stupid because of what she said. She glared at Meng Tao angrily: "You spare no effort to attack me. Are you happy?"

"I can't say I'm happy. You asked for it. I even took the trouble to explain it to you. It made me hungry."

She looked at her watch. It was already noon. Who wouldn't be hungry? She was hungry too.

Meng Tao took out a coin from her bag and put it on the table, then stood up and left: "Let's find a place to eat."

The sun was a little strong at noon, so the two went back to the mall and bought sunglasses and parasols. Meng Tao paid. Dou Nannan didn't expect Meng Tao to go to the mall, so she came out in a hurry and didn't bring her wallet. She told Meng Tao that she would pay half of today's expenses and return the money when she returned.

Meng Tao didn't care. Just give it if you want. She felt that since the man was there to accompany her, he should pay for all the expenses himself.

Originally, we wanted to go to a seaside hotel, where we could eat delicious food and enjoy the sea view, but pregnant women are so hungry that they don’t want to wait even for half a minute. Mainly, the little one in her belly will be too noisy if he is hungry. So we went directly to the nearest hotel. Dou Nannan wanted to eat Western food, and Meng Tao was fine with it, so they went into the Western restaurant.

This was a two-story restaurant. It was lunchtime and there were many diners. The two did not go upstairs, but found a seat by the window on the first floor facing the street. Dou Nannan ordered the food and Meng Tao looked around, pretending to look upstairs casually. Suddenly, she felt as if there was someone sitting in the booth blocked by green ornamental plants behind the railing on the right side of the upstairs, looking at her and Dou Nannan.

Dou Nannan had her back to that side, while Meng Tao was facing forward, but she was wearing makeup and fashionable clothes, so even people who were familiar with her might not be able to recognize her.

The dishes came, and Meng Tao and Dou Nannan started eating. Meng Tao used the knife and fork smoothly, and her movements were calm and elegant. She looked like someone who was used to eating Western food. Dou Nannan whispered, "The tutor also taught you to eat Western food?"

Meng Tao shook her head: "No, I went to Lao Mo twice with Shen Yu, and once with Gu Yingying, and you and your friends scolded me for being a sparrow turning into a phoenix."

Dou Nannan: "You scolded us too."

"I'm just speaking the truth, it's not as harsh as you say."

“…”

The two of them were arguing in low voices, and the person sitting next to them just thought they were a pair of best friends discussing something.

Meng Tao was still paying attention to the upstairs. Halfway through eating her steak, she withdrew her gaze and no longer stared at the two of them.

After the desserts were served, Dou Nannan wanted to go to the bathroom, and Meng Tao said, "I'll go first, and you can go before we leave. Remember to put on your sunglasses when you stand up, and don't look around when I'm not around, and don't look back over there."

"Why?"

"Because someone upstairs noticed us."

Dou Nannan was stunned for a moment: "Meng Wenlan?"

"How did you guess it was her?"

"Shen Yu said that Meng Wenlan sneaked out and joined a gang. She is a dangerous person. We are mainly on guard against her. She is the only one in Hong Kong who can recognize me."

"You've had your hair permed again, and you're not dressed like you normally are. I've also put on makeup, so she may not recognize you right away. Don't be nervous, just relax."

"Then you should come back quickly, we have to leave here quickly."

"OK."
