"Do you really understand English?" Li Boyang asked another question, "And can you speak it fluently?"

"Mmhmm." Ye Zhuo nodded.

Li Boyang's gaze was filled with mockery and contempt when he replied, "Honesty is the wonderful tradition of China; I hope that we can continue to pass on this tradition."

It would be fine if she admitted that she did not understand English because no one would make fun of her anyway. However, a hypocrite girl like Ye Zhuo was destined to be like this for the rest of her life.

Ye Zhuo was confused by his remark. Was Li Boyang insinuating that she was not honest'?

She suspected that Li Boyang had been influenced by rumors that he heard, dreaming up something and creating something out of nothing At this point, though, she could prove that she was right.

"Boyang!" Qian Lingyu's voice was heard coming from the inside.

"Coming." Li Boyang walked into the house.

"I thought I told you not to talk to her anymore? Why won't you remember that!?" Qian Lingyu's tone sounded very unpleasant.

"We were only greeting each other. Mom, you overthink!"

Qian Lingyu heaved a sigh.

She was not overthinking. All this was because Ye Zhuo was too beautiful to the point where she was afraid that Li Boyang would not be able to control his feelings.

After all, Li Boyang was restless from hitting puberty.

Qian Lingyu said in a sincere tone, "Boyang, I'm a very open-minded parent, and I know that children of your age are more sensitive. As a result, I'm not opposed to letting you socialize with others. There's an old saying that birds of a feather flock together. Boyang, the person that you should date is not Little Ye but someone similar to your classmate, Zhao Xuehua. Did I say anything when I see you traveling home with Zhao Xuehua after school every day?"

Zhao Xuehua was a typical rich kid. She was chauffeured in various luxury cars after school every day.

Every once in a while, Zhao Xuehua would choose to walk home with Li Boyang when she was in the mood.

Zhao Xuehua was the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, but who was Ye Zhuo?

"Noted." Li Boyang nodded.

Meanwhile, Sister Liu came running in while gasping for air. "Lingyu! Lingyu!"

"What's going on?" Qian Lingyu asked.

Sister Liu said, "There's a table of foreign customers seated at Zone C. I can't speak English... What do I do?"

The barbecue shop was located in a rather good area.

Foreigners would frequently come to the shop to have meals, but most of the time, they were able to converse in the Chinese language. It was a rare occasion to encounter foreigners who could not speak Chinese.

At this point, Sister Liu had noticed Li Boyang standing next to Qian Lingyu. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Boyang! I remember that you're a class representative in your English class, right?"

Upon hearing that, Qian Lingyu smiled and said, "That's right! Our Boyang does really well in English! He'll do fine!"

Li Boyang was blushing ever so slightly. "Uh, uh, then I shall give it a try then." It was a good opportunity for him to practice his spoken language.
