"The countries and continent M where you studied abroad are their native languages. The list naturally favors these languages, and ignores and suppresses other ancient cultures with profound connotations that they don't have."
“So I think that it’s great that your classmate’s work is on this list, but don’t use the fact that no one in China has made it to the list as an excuse.”
"This list is just a statistical data they created. It only represents their rules. It doesn't mean that there is no good music outside the list."
That's putting it mildly.
It sounds terrible too!
The round-faced girl was almost immediately struck by Jiang Li's series of words, her face turned pale with anger. She widened her eyes, puffed up her cheeks, and couldn't find any words to refute for a long time.
Jiang Li didn't mean to attack her sharply. He shrugged his shoulders and said cynically, "I'm just expressing my own opinion. I don't mean anything else."
"You guys continue, pretend I don't exist..."
With him messing things up, no one else could continue the conversation.
The round-faced girl sneered and managed a smile: "Aunt Ye, my classmate didn't mean to show off. I just like her so much that I couldn't help but say a few more words. If there is anything wrong with what I said, you and Grandpa Ye don't mind. I don't have so many ideas. I just simply want to introduce my classmate's music works to you..."
She didn't mention Jiang Li in any of her sentences, but she mentioned Jiang Li in every sentence.
Even Zhang Yang could hear the hidden meaning in her words, implying that Jiang Li was petty and elevating her casual remarks to a moral level.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but lower his head and touch his nose bridge. He felt that he didn't need to step forward and find ways to ruin the blind date today.
With Jiang Shao's performance and lethality, it would be strange for the girl to have a good impression of him. I'm afraid that if you give the girl a knife now, she will stab him a few times.
"It's okay, Jiang Li didn't mean any other thing. You and your classmates shouldn't take it to heart." Ye Lan laughed, but his attitude towards Elena became visibly colder.
This made the round-faced girl very angry. She glared at Jiang Li fiercely and stood up to support Mr. Ye: "Grandpa Ye, let's go eat."
"Oh, are you hungry?" Ye Maoshan stood up with a smile. Just as the old housekeeper came over, he asked, "Is the food ready in the kitchen?"
The old housekeeper only took a glance at the situation in the pavilion and saw that the blind date was a failure. He immediately bowed and said, "It's ready. You can have dinner anytime."
Ye Maoshan gently patted Haitong's hand, indicating that she didn't need to support him, and said to the old housekeeper: "Then let them serve the food."
He looked at the others and invited them with a kind face, "Let's go together."
Jiang Li and Zhang Yang walked at the back.
Zhang Yang gave Jiang Li a thumbs up without leaving any trace: "Master Jiang, you are awesome."
Jiang Li glanced at him and made a gesture as if to chop him.
Zhang Yang ran away laughing.
Ye Lan, on the other hand, had walked a distance with the "classmates" brought by Hai Tong two steps ahead and exchanged a few simple greetings. Now, he slowed down his pace and waited for Jiang Li to join him.
"Aunt Ye..." Jiang Li felt frightened when he saw Ye Lan deliberately slowing down her pace to wait for him. He was at a loss as to how to start the conversation.
Ye Lan gave him a reproachful look and said, "Now you know to call me, why didn't you save some face for the girl just now?"
Jiang Li knew he was in the wrong and that what he said was a bit harsh, so he kept silent.
