The last time I took her to the International Settlement to work as an interpreter, this guy never stopped talking and even complained that British food was not tasty after the meal.

Lu Pingsheng gave Wei Miao a warning look, pulled her away from the food area, and followed Durand to meet the deputy commander and his family.

Then they separated.

Wei Miao followed the teenager in a tuxedo and watched him socialize with his peers from other countries in a noble manner.

It fully reflects the tone of a powerful European country.

"David, you speak standard French." The arrogant young man praised Wei Miao in his spare time.

Louis came to this oriental country with his father just last month.

I didn’t see any records of the mysterious ancient country in the book, nor did I feel the prosperity that my elders talked about, so I wasn’t very interested.

Instead, compared to these boring banquets that were held one after another, he suddenly became fascinated with ancient artifacts from the East.

It just so happened that the young man next to him could quickly answer all his questions and quote classics in French, which made him feel that the banquet was not so unbearable.

Wei Miao heard his praise and smiled, with dimples on her face, she said politely:

“Your knowledge also surpasses many of your peers.”

The boy in front of her was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he was thin, he was much taller than her.

Like his cousin Durand, he has a pair of deep blue eyes and golden bangs hanging down at his eyebrows. He is an absolutely beautiful boy.

The young ladies from England and France kept looking at him, and even the noble ladies from Japan blushed in front of him.

"Louis, we agreed to go horseback riding last time. Why did you break the appointment?" The curly-haired girl said coquettishly in her bright eyes.

Louis' tone naturally returned to a polite and distant tone, and he bowed slightly and said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Charlotte, I'm new here and I haven't adjusted yet."

One of them spoke French and the other spoke English.

Wei Miao was only responsible for translating the French spoken by the girl to Louis.

The translator behind Miss Charlotte turned out to be someone she knew.

Xu Manhua has a high talent for languages. After finishing the translation, she tilted her head and winked at Wei Miao with a playful smile.

It was not at all like the way Wei Miao saw her delicately pulling at Wu Ziyang's clothes in the alley a few days ago.

Xu Manhua felt a little emotional as she looked at the noble young man in front of her.

She never thought that her unintentional act of trying to please Wu Ziyang actually saved her life.

A few years ago, her parents went to the Wei family in person to express their gratitude and gave them high-end gifts and money.

In the end, the Wei family only asked for gifts and refused to accept any money, which made her think more highly of Wei Miao's family.

They were having a pleasant conversation here when a gentle and elegant voice interrupted them.

"Mr. Louis, Miss Charlotte, long time no see."

When everyone turned around, they saw a Japanese girl in kimono bending down and bowing. When she raised her head, she revealed a beautiful and lively face.

Wei Miao's gaze fell on the woman behind the girl.

Li Xiaoya was wearing a kimono and had her hair in a traditional bun made by Japanese women. She looked very different from her gentle and graceful image in the past. There was a hint of arrogance and calmness on her face.

If she hadn't seen Wei Miao again, the strange look in her eyes would have been caught by Wei Miao.

It is difficult to associate Teacher Li with the sad and weak person of the past.

Wei Miao caught a glimpse of Xu Manhua out of the corner of his eye and found that there was nothing unusual on her expression, as if the person who was bothering her during this period was not the one in front of her.

There was a flash of impatience in Louis' eyes. He was quite patient with the British, but he did not hide his irritability towards the Japanese.

"Sorry, I'm tired. I'm going to take a rest first."

Louis turned and left, and Wei Miao naturally followed him, after all, she took the two hundred dollars from Lu Pingsheng.

"You don't have to follow me. If necessary, I will send someone to find you in the food area."

Looking at the slightly surprised eyes of the usually steady oriental boy, Louis was in a very good mood and actually raised his hand and patted Wei Miao on the shoulder.

After realizing that his action was somewhat rude, he calmly withdrew his hand, turned around and left arrogantly.

What surprised Wei Miao was that this bad-tempered boy could notice her love for food after just a few glances.

If there was any reason why she liked this kind of party, it was because she liked the food at the party.

The sweetness of the cream cake, the deliciousness of the fresh fruits, and the variety of drinks all diluted her disgust for these luxurious atmospheres.

In Wei Miao's eyes, money and food are the purest and cleanest things in the world.

After Wei Miao left, a flash of disappointment passed through the eyes of the Japanese girl, but she soon put on a sweet smile and wanted to greet Charlotte.

"Miss Charlotte, the fragrance on your body is really fascinating. Can you share it with me?"

Xu Manhua raised her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoya behind the girl. She did not translate the words of the Japanese girl, but lowered her head and whispered a few words in Charlotte's ear.

"Really?" Charlotte's eyelashes curled like a doll, and her face was full of surprise.

Xu Manhua said in a brisk tone:

"You also said that Louis has very high standards. She must be special to be recognized by Louis and become his translator."

Charlotte thought of Louis' smile to Wei Miao just now. She bit her lip and thought for a while, then said to Xu Manhua:

"Then let's go find her."

Xu Manhua took Charlotte away, who was still thinking about Louis.

Matsui Yukiko, who had a sweet smile on her face, looked gloomy after seeing them walk away, and said in a bad tone:

"Masako, you are such a loser, go back and accept your punishment."

Li Xiaoya's body trembled slightly, and those embarrassing scenes flashed through her mind, but she quickly lowered her head like a tamed dog, bowed and whispered:

"Hi, Ms. Yukiko."

Wei Miao was enjoying his meal when he saw Xu Manhua coming over with a foreign lady.

"Little brat, long time no see!"

The smile on Xu Manhua's face was as bright as when they first met, except that it lacked that unique shyness and innocence.

Wei Miao swallowed the fruit in his mouth and said with a smile: "Miss Xu is still as radiant as ever."

Xu Manhua turned slightly to reveal the noble girl in a gorgeous dress behind her, and said to Wei Miao:

"This is Miss Charlotte, the youngest daughter of Sir Barton, the consul of the British Consulate."

Wei Miao stood up and bent down, and the gentlemanly manners that Lu Pingsheng had cultivated in her came into play.

After the three of them sat down, the simple and straightforward Charlotte asked straight to the point:

"How did you conquer Louis?"

Wei Miao looked at Xu Manhua, but she didn't say anything, just smiled. Wei Miao could only politely say:

“He likes smart people.”

There were no outsiders here, so Xu Manhua chuckled, "Are you praising yourself in disguise?"

Wei Miao said frankly, "I just told the truth based on my observation."

Charlotte looked at the confident Chinese boy in front of her and felt that he was different from the people she usually interacted with, so she had a better impression of him.

"So how can I make him treat me differently?"

Wei Miao looked at the girl's expectant eyes, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Manhua. This look full of expectation was so similar.

"Miss Charlotte is the Duke's favorite child. If you help her, there will be a lot of benefits."

Xu Manhua seemed not to notice Wei Miao's gaze and she spoke the last sentence in her gang dialect.

Wei Miao thought of Lu Pingsheng's investigation into the Japanese purchase of supplies, and said:

"He has been studying oriental artifacts lately."

Charlotte's eyes lit up, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, she stood up and bowed slightly to Wei Miao, smiling sweetly:

"Thank you, David."

After watching Xu Manhua and Charlotte's backs as they left for a moment, Wei Miao withdrew his gaze.

Just at this moment, the sofa beside him sank slightly, and a slightly tired voice came from behind him.

"Ah Miao, I killed someone."

Wei Miao's expression did not change, but he quickly glanced around. After finding nothing unusual, he turned his head to look at the person behind him.
