Chapter 1444: Stop Acting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Huh?”

An Ning stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

1 asked you to act, but I didn’t ask you to add more scenes!

He could just say that you were a rich second-generation heir and that your parents were both teachers. Aren’t you exposing yourself by saying this?!

Lin Yi’s resume attracted the attention of the Nie family.

He was directly challenging them.

Nie Zhengyang’s mother, Fan Shulan, was a Sibanish teacher at Bingcheng University.

His father, Nie Zhongjun, was a Ruxian teacher at Longjiang University. Moreover, their English level was not bad. They were definitely intellectuals.

Lin Yi came from an international school and knew eight languages.

You can brag, but you can’t get carried away!

“Hehe…” Nie Zhongjun sneered. “You said you graduated from an international school? I’d like to know which school you graduated from and what you majored in.”

An Ning’s heart skipped a beat. What she was afraid of really happened.

If Lin Yi said that he was worth tens of millions, that wouldn’t be a problem because outsiders wouldn’t look into this.

Coupled with Lin Yi’s temperament, he did look like a rich person.

However, if he said that he graduated from a famous school and knew eight languages, the other party would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

“University of Penntania, computer science major.”

An open challenge to Peking University’s outstanding graduates!

“A computer student can actually speak eight languages?” Nie Zhongjun said.

“I assume you know a word or two in each language, and now you’re just bragging to everyone by claiming to speak eight languages?”

Seeing that the situation wasn’t looking good, An Ning gently tugged on Lin Yi’s sleeve, signaling him not to fall into the trap.

Lin Yi gave her a knowing look.

An Ning heaved a sigh of relief. There was nothing to worry about.

Lin Yi was a smart person. He definitely wouldn’t fall for it.

“Who said I only know one or two words?” Lin Yi said.

“If that’s what 1 meant, then 1 might as well say 1 can speak all the languages in the world.”

Huh?

An Ning almost vomited blood. 1 asked you to stop bragging, not continue!

Can’t you see that it’s a trap?

“Young man, I can see through it. You’re here to play a role for Ningning. 1’11 give you some face, but don’t talk big here. It’s quite boring. Go on.” Nie Zhongjun waved his hand impatiently, not even giving Lin Yi a proper look.

“Is there something wrong with your family? I’ve already explained everything to you, but you still keep saying that I’m acting? Are your ears filled with sh*t?”

“Alright, since you’re not acting, let me test you to see how good you are at these eight languages.”

Nie Zhongjun looked around and saw a sign on the wall. The title was a letter to the patient.

Every hospital had this sign in the wards. The contents were almost always the same.

“How about this? Didn’t you say that you know eight languages? Use the eight languages to read the ‘Letter to the Patient’ on the wall.”

“Well…”

An Ning’s face fell. He only knows English at most, how could he possibly translate it into eight languages?

“Uncle Nie, 1 don’t think it’s necessary,” An Ning said.

“It’s impossible for Zhengyang and I to remain together. I hope you won’t harp on it.”

“I know that there’s a conflict between the two of you, but you’ve been together for so long and know each other well. You can’t split over such a small matter. Besides, we’re already here. You have to give Uncle Nie some face, don’t you think?”

“That’s no problem, but…”

“Alright, let’s talk about this later. Let this young man translate it first.”

Nie Zhongjun had been dealing with students all these years, so he could tell at a glance that Lin Yi was bragging.

It was already very impressive that he had such superb medical skills.

To claim that he could speak eight different languages was a joke.

“That’s so embarrassing. It’ll just it look like I’m showing off.”

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If you have the ability, you have to show it,” Nie Zhongjun said.

“And just now, when you said that you graduated from an international school and know eight languages, it didn’t seem like you were planning to keep a low profile then.”

“Alright, I’ll try.”

With that, Lin Yi turned around and looked at the sign hanging on the wall.

“Dear patient, hello…”

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying?” Nie Zhongjun interrupted.

“I told you to speak in the eight languages. Why are you speaking in Huaxian? You’re just playing to the gallery.”

This was within An Ning’s expectations.

Lin Yi only knew one foreign language at most. He might even be a bad student, so how could he translate the sign?

An Ning suddenly thought of something and looked at her mother.

Since she didn’t have the strength to speak, her mother had to step in.

She knew her daughter the best.

With just one look from An Ning, Liu Guiqin understood what she meant.

“Brother Zhongjun, let’s forget about this. Let’s not pursue the matter. Let the children solve their own problems.”

“Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but 1 watched Ningning grow up, so we can’t let today’s matter go so easily. What if he’s a liar? It’s not wrong to be careful.”

“But…”

“There’s no buts. He said that he knows the eight languages. 1 didn’t want to make things difficult for him. I just wanted to test his claim on a whim since I have nothing to do anyway.”

With that, Nie Zhongjun looked at Lin Yi. “Alright, stop wasting time. If you don’t know how to do it, just admit it and leave. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”

“He’s so impatient. One look and 1 can tell that he’s not someone who can achieve great things.”

“Then you may begin. In all my years, I have never met a man who is fluent in eight languages. Start your performance and broaden my horizons.”

“Alright, I’ll try.”

Seeing that Lin Yi really wanted to give it a try, An Ning hurriedly pulled him aside.

“Stop fooling around. He’s clearly setting a trap for you. Why are you still rushing headfirst into it?”

“It’s not illegal to try.” Lin Yi said.

“After all, I’m someone who’s seen all kinds of small movies from all over the world. I’ve learned a lot of foreign languages from them, so 1 can at least do this much.”

“What time is it now? Stop bullshitting me.” An Ning was so angry that smoke was rising from her ears.

How could such a shrewd person not see that this was a trap?

A wise man was about to make a fool of himself.

“It’s not bullsh*t!”

“You’re really claiming that you’re not spouting nonsense? How could you possibly know the eight languages?”

“I’m not talking nonsense. I’ve seen movies from all over the world.” Lin Yi said, “I have many foreign resources. I’ll give you some later.”

An Ning felt a headache coming on. She was about to die from anger.

Now was not the time to discuss these indie movies!

“Ningning, what are you two talking about? Let him try. Uncle Nie really wants to broaden his horizons.”

Since Nie Zhongjun was being overbearing, An Ning had no choice but to stop arguing with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at the sign on the wall and said in perfect English,

“Dear patient, hello…”
