chapter 41 Only English is useless

The young man in formal attire is Stephen Price in Gracelynn 's mouth. He is 1.8 meters tall, with a slender figure, handsome features and mature and deep eyes. He has a well-read and elegant temperament, as well as a wise and decisive temperament of a shopping mall elite. As soon as he appeared, he immediately became an eye-catcher. People's temperament is developed by the environment. Stephen Price's temperament is related to his experience of studying abroad, his family, and his current outstanding achievements. Edgar Austin doesn't have the aura of being classy at first glance like Stephen Price. Edgar Austin's temperament is the simple, friendly and down-to-earth temperament that most ordinary people have, although it can give people a very friendly feeling. , but not lofty at all. "Oh, Stephen, please sit down quickly."Gracelynn followed and greeted him. "Hello Aunt Lan, hello Uncle Shan, hello Uncle Hai."Stephen Price greeted him gracefully, and then looked at Lola Gellar with a sunny smile on his face, "Lola, long time no see, hello." "You... okay." For some reason, Lola Gellar became nervous inexplicably. Stephen Price greeted all the Ning family members, except Edgar Austin. He glanced at Edgar Austin, his eyes indifferent. "Oh, you are so polite, please sit down." He kindly took Stephen's hand and led him to the dining table, and personally pulled out a dining chair for him to sit down. The seat Gracelynn arranged for Stephen Price was actually right next to Lola Gellar's seat. Edgar Austin didn't know what happened yet, so he thought to himself: "Is this young man also from the Ning family? Why didn't Lola Gellar tell me in advance that there were relatives coming? He didn't say hello to me, what kind of person was he? mean?" Lola Gellar returned to her seat, with Edgar Austin on her left and Stephen Price on her right. Both men are handsome and each has his or her own characteristics. But her heart was in a state of confusion, and she didn't dare to look at Edgar Austin or Stephen Price. Asher Gellar and Leonel Gellar also took their seats. Gracelynn walked to the door of the private room and called a waiter over, "The food is ready to be served." Edgar Austin suddenly realized that he had not served the food just now because he was waiting for the young man who had just come in. From Gracelynn's various reactions, he seemed to have guessed something. He couldn't help but glance at Lola Gellar, but Lola Gellar buried her head and didn't dare to look at him. "Stephen."Asher Gellar broke the brief silence and said with a smile: "Is your work at Wanxiang Group going well?" Stephen Price smiled and said: "It's okay. Miss Veronica treats me well, and I have adapted to the working environment of Wanxiang Group." Asher Gellar said: "That's good. I know you are in charge of the wind power project. Please give Miss Veronica a few kind words. If we can win the order from Vientiane Group, our company's tasks this year will be ahead of schedule." finished." Stephen Price still maintained the gentle and charming smile on his face, "Uncle Shan, don't worry, I will definitely find an opportunity to speak well for your company in front of Veronica. I believe Miss Veronica will also make the right choice, after all. Your company is a large state-owned enterprise with unparalleled reputation and strength." Asher Gellar also smiled, "Then I'll thank you first." "Uncle Shan, you're welcome."Stephen Price looked very polite. Gracelynn said with a smile: "Quietly, this kid Stephen is still so polite. I watched you grow up. When you were young, I knew that your kid would be very promising in the future. No, I really saw it. Right." Stephen Price smiled and said, "Aunt Lan, you are too polite." Leonel Gellar said: "Lola, you and Wen Qiang haven't seen each other for several years. Please pour Stephen a glass of wine and have a drink with him later." Lola Gellar hesitated for a moment and nodded gently. Several people were talking lively, and Edgar Austin suddenly became an insignificant figure and a foil. When things got here, Edgar Austin finally understood. In this matter, Lola Gellar originally asked him to act in order to deal with her parents. But he didn't expect that Stephen Price would appear halfway, and Lola Gellar's parents obviously liked this kid more. Lola Gellar's parents invited Stephen Price here for a very clear purpose, which was to make him, his current "boyfriend," feel ashamed and quit. After understanding the truth of the matter, Edgar Austin felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was not Lola Gellar's real boyfriend, it was really hurtful for Lola Gellar's parents to do this. Edgar Austin was about to leave when Stephen Price suddenly looked at him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, who is this gentleman? Why don't you introduce me to him?" "He is..."Lola Gellar stopped talking. Gracelynn rushed to say, "He's your Uncle Shan's friend."Asher Gellar said, "Yes, yes, yes, his name is Edgar Austin Lei. My friend also knows Lola." Stephen Price stood up and stretched out a hand, "Hello, Mr. Xia." Edgar Austin also stood up and shook hands with Stephen Price, "Hello, Mr. Ren." After shaking hands, Ren Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Mr. Xia's hands are really strong and the calluses are very thick." It was good at first, Ren Zhiqiang seemed very graceful and polite, but in a blink of an eye it was no longer the case. He said that Edgar Austin's hands were strong and calloused, which was obviously a mockery. How could a returnee student and corporate executive like him look down on an ordinary worker like Edgar Austin? "How can he be here, uncle Shan?"Stephen Price looked at Asher Gellar and asked. Asher Gellar's English had been returned to the teacher a long time ago. He shook his head and said he didn't understand. However, he could tell that Stephen Price didn't want Edgar Austin to understand what he said. Stephen Price looked at Lola Gellar tenderly and said in English: "Is he your boyfriend?" Lola Gellar glanced at Edgar Austin and said bravely in English: "No, no, we are just good friends." She was telling the truth. She and Edgar Austin were indeed good friends, not lovers. Stephen Price smiled and said in English: "So that's it. I thought he was your boyfriend. He is not suitable for you. You are so beautiful, and only the best man can be worthy of you." His meaning was also very obvious, Edgar Austin was not worthy of Lola Gellar, and it would take a very good man to be worthy of her. Although he didn't say what kind of man is a very good man, the implication is that he is definitely like this. Lola Gellar glanced at Edgar Austin quietly, her eyes filled with guilt. Show off your English? There was a hint of disdain on the corner of Edgar Austin's mouth, and he also said in English: "He speaks English well. This is probably what he calls a very good man. What he means is probably that he is very suitable for you." , you can seriously consider it.” Stephen Price was stunned immediately, and his handsome face had a hint of pig liver color. He showed off English because he thought that Edgar Austin, a man who did rough work, couldn't understand it at all, but he didn't expect that Edgar Austin not only understood it, but also spoke such fluent English, and even satirized him to the fullest! Lola Gellar shyly avoided Edgar Austin's eyes. She knew that Edgar Austin was already very uncomfortable, and it was all because of her. Edgar Austin looked at Stephen, and then said in French: "Mr. Ren, don't think that you are so great just because you came back from studying in the United States, and don't look down on others, because you are not better than anyone else, everyone has good and bad sides. On the one hand, you gave me the impression of being too arrogant." Stephen Price looked at Edgar Austin in surprise, and the pig liver color on his face became more obvious. He didn't understand French, and he didn't know what Edgar Austin said, but he could still guess from Edgar Austin's tone and disdainful eyes that it was definitely not a good thing. He wanted to refute, but at this moment he hesitated. He was the first to show off his English skills. Edgar Austin knew English. Not only did Edgar Austin refute him in English, but now he spoke in French. What foreign language should he use to respond? ? This is what embarrasses him, because he only knows English! Leonel Gellar and Gracelynn Huilan also looked at Edgar Austin dumbfounded. They never expected that a high school student they looked down on could actually speak two foreign languages, and he could do so fluently! Asher Gellar didn't look too surprised. He lowered his head in embarrassment and secretly said in his heart: "Should I tell them that Edgar Austin also understands German?" The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Fortunately, at this time, a waiter pushed a dining cart into the private room and served the food. Gracelynn took this opportunity to break the silent atmosphere in the private room. She laughed twice and said, "Haha, what foreign language do you young people say? We can't understand it. I gave all the English I learned at that time to the teacher. Let’s all speak in Mandarin, okay?” "Yes, yes, we speak Mandarin."Leonel Gellar also said. But before the waiter could bring all the dishes in the dining car to the table, Edgar Austin stood up and said in Russian: "Sorry, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first." All eyes were focused on Edgar Austin, surprised, confused, and puzzled. "Edgar Austin, what do you mean?"Gracelynn looked at Edgar Austin dissatisfied. Edgar Austin said: "I don't mean anything else. I mean I have some urgent matters that I need to deal with. I'll see you another day. Goodbye." "Edgar Austin, you..."Lola Gellar stopped talking. Edgar Austin patted her shoulder and said, "Let's talk another day. Goodbye." After saying that, he strode out of the private room. Lola Gellar watched Edgar Austin's back disappear, feeling filled with guilt. Stephen Price said contemptuously: "He's just a guy who does menial work. He's so arrogant, Lola, you'd better avoid associating with such people." "Yes, yes, let's eat and leave him alone."Gracelynn said with a smile. Asher Gellar poured a glass of wine for Stephen Price, "Stephen, let's have a drink." At this moment, Lola Gellar suddenly stood up, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. You can eat, I'm leaving." "You..."Gracelynn suddenly became angry, "Sit down!" "I'm not a child anymore!"Lola Gellar said this loudly, and then quickly left the private room. The four people in the private room were stunned on the spot and couldn't recover for a while. Lola Gellar walked out of the private room and looked around for Edgar Austin, but there was no trace of Edgar Austin anywhere. At this time, her phone rang with a text message alert. She opened it and looked at it, but it was a text message from Edgar Austin: Sorry, I couldn't help you. Take good care of your father, follow his wishes and don't make him angry. I don’t know why, but Lola Gellar tears suddenly flowed out. She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and walked back to the private room she had just left.
