A priceless antique vase was broken. Although grandpa felt it was a pity, he didn't say anything else. However, he was quite dissatisfied with the old lady for secretly promising to give Yun Yao's old things to Xia Ruya, and he taught her a lesson.
The old lady knew she was in the wrong, so the matter was left unresolved.
Wen Xinya still remembers Xia Ruya's expression at that time, which was like a mirror that suddenly cracked into dense lines like spider webs, ugly, tangled, and twisted to the extreme...
This incident made Wen Xinya feel that even living under the same roof with Xia Ruya would not be such an unbearable thing.
She is no longer the impulsive and irritable Wen Xinya from her previous life. Xia Ruya's tricks to provoke the Wen family's dissatisfaction with her pose no threat to her.
Wen Xinya has been living a comfortable life these days. She has done well in the exams, which has relieved her from the tension of the college entrance examination. She doesn't have to worry about the preparations for the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, and her subordinates are doing well in their careers. She was so bored that she couldn't help but think about learning E country. Not only did she sign up for a cram school online, she also replaced the songs in her mobile phone with classic songs from E country, and her favorite costume TV series from Z country were replaced with World War II movies from E country.
Wen Xinya sat on the carpet, eating snacks while watching an old English movie from the World War II period. She listened attentively to the English dialogues while staring at the Chinese subtitles, occasionally imitating the English pronunciation and lip shape.
"Are you learning E language?" Si Yiyan couldn't help laughing as he listened to her speaking like a parrot, with stiff words popping out of her mouth from time to time. He was holding a document in his hand, but the document had actually stayed on that page for a long time without being turned over.
Wen Xinya angrily threw aside the introductory textbook on E language given to her by the study class and said, "I won't study it anymore. I won't study it anymore. E language is simply too difficult to learn. The syllable structure is too complicated."
Although she had an excellent memory and the ability to remember everything she saw, and she learned things quickly, she seemed to have no talent for learning languages. She learned theoretical knowledge better than listening knowledge in classroom English. She was thankful more than once that the listening part of the high school English test only accounted for 20 points, otherwise the English subject alone would have lowered her total score a lot.
In her previous life, until the moment of her death, she still spoke broken English.
She attributed all this to the profound, complex and extensive issue of genetics, and refused to admit that it was her own problem.
After all! My mother, a woman as smart as she is, had to bring a translator with her when she went to the UK to participate in an interview with a fashion magazine. My grandfather is highly respected and to this day, when he sees an English book, the wrinkles on his forehead are enough to kill a fly.
Si Yiyan's eyes were full of light and gracefulness. "If you don't want to learn, don't learn it. Learning a foreign language takes a huge amount of time and energy."
How could he not guess that she wanted to learn English well, but... he was really embarrassed to say that learning a language requires talent.
"I'm just learning it casually because I'm bored. I'll learn as much as I can." Although Wen Xinya said this, she picked up the textbook that she had thrown aside. English can be said to be Si Yiyan's second mother tongue. Except for the time he spent with her, Si Yiyan spoke English more than Chinese. She really wanted to learn English well and understand and participate in his world.
Si Yiyan knew what she was thinking. He took the textbook from her hand, flipped through a few pages carelessly, and threw it into a nearby trash can: "With an introductory textbook like this, it will be extremely difficult for you to learn English well."
Wen Xinya's eyes lit up. She had studied for several days but couldn't even figure out the most basic vowels. It wasn't because she didn't have the skills, but because the textbooks in the cram school were too bad.
Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms, looking at the bright look in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want to learn E language, there is an easier shortcut!"
Wen Xinya held Si Yiyan's arm and smiled flatteringly: "Tell me any shortcuts quickly, E language is too difficult to learn, the syllable structure is too complicated."
Si Yiyan smiled meaningfully and said, "It's far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us!"
"You want to teach me?" Wen Xinya then realized that English is almost Si Yiyan's second mother tongue. As a Z countryman who learns English better than many E countrymen, Si Yiyan's English level is naturally not to be underestimated.
Si Yiyan kissed her lips gently and smiled: "Of course there is no problem in teaching you, and it's not in vain..." The magnificent light in his eyes flowed with obscure understanding: "Considering the relationship between us, talking about love hurts feelings, so I make an exception and allow you to pay with your body, once per class..."
Wen Xinya's face instantly turned red as she glared at him, but she soon gave in to his extremely scorching gaze: "Si Yiyan, you are too shameless, you bastard, you pervert, your head is full of pornographic thoughts, what if I..." She opened her mouth, her face turned even redder, but her voice became much softer: "I paid the tuition, but in the end I still couldn't learn E language, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
Thinking of her poor talent for languages, she really wasn't sure of herself.
Si Yiyan's smile deepened, and a hint of flattery flowed in his eyes: "If you can't learn it, then I will return it to you twice, one lesson... twice!"
Wen Xinya's eyes suddenly widened and she glared at him again: "You... are so shameless!"
Si Yiyan looked at him and smiled softly, "So... do you want to learn it or not? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Although I can't guarantee that you can learn E language as your second mother tongue, but you won't have any problem in having a conversation or debate."
Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan, her cheeks flushed, her eyes surging, she bared her teeth, gnashed her teeth, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, bit her lip, and said calmly: "Learn if you want, who's afraid of who!"
She thought to herself that after the coming-of-age ceremony, she would be his anyway, so it didn't matter how many times he did it, right...
Si Yiyan looked at the changing expressions on her face, which were both lively and cute, and his heart was filled with tenderness: "Then let's start from now!"
"Wait!" Wen Xinya jumped up from the carpet, grabbed the bag on the sofa, and took out the paper and pen she carried with her.
Si Yiyan looked at the notebook and pen in her hands, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Wen Xinya drew a heavy line on her notebook with a pen: "I will write down the number of make-up lessons, so that you won't cheat and abuse the number of times you exercise your rights."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the time when she and Si Yiyan went to Nantong to attend the auction. She lost miserably when gambling with Si Yiyan, and she still had a bad debt with Si Yiyan.
"Baby, you are so lovable." Si Yiyan threw Wen Xinya to the ground and drowned her in a kiss with overwhelming force.
