Lin Che was presented fresh flowers and she looked shyly at them. The staff quickly welcomed Gu Jingze. The two of them conversed in a language that Lin Che could not understand at all. Hearing Gu Jingze speak so fluently in a foreign language, she grew admiration for him. Although she could not understand what she heard, she thought that he was very good at it.
When everybody was seated in the car headed to the resort, Lin Che then spoke, "What were you guys talking about just now? What language did you speak? You sounded so fluent."
Gu Jingze replied, "I was just thanking them for their hospitality and things like that. I spoke French. Why?"
"You know how to speak French?"
"I went to learn when I was in France."
"Then do you know English?"
"Of course. That's a universal language."
"What other languages do you know?" Lin Che asked as she stared at him with bright eyes.
Gu Jingze listed out, "Italian, Japanese, Russian, and German. I know a little of all these but when it comes to business conversations, I still need a professional translator.
"Why did you learn so much? How do you have so much time?"
Gu Jingze patted her cheeks in amusement, "You wouldn't understand with that IQ of yours. The time you use to think about eating, watching TV and just doing whatever, I use it to learn stuff."
Lin Che pouted, "So boring!"
Gu Jingze said, "Yes, it's boring to people with an IQ like yours."
"Get lost!"
Gu Jingze could not help but laugh.
Lin Che said, "But with them making it so grand when your family comes here, is it because of the presidential treatment?"
Gu Jingze said, "Your knowledge... When Big Brother wasn't president, the Gu family always provided financial support during every presidential election. You can say that the Gu family has some weight in this area. Although we don't explicitly say it, everyone knows internally."
"So does that mean that the Gu family has a say in... who gets to be president for C country?"
"See, you're not that dumb. You still can understand this."
"Of course!" Lin Che added, "I may look dumb, but I'm actually super smart." Gu Jingze laughed and looked at her, shaking his head helplessly.
She was super smart with this IQ?
Soon, the car stopped outside the resort.
The resort was huge and you could see the blue sea and sky in the distance. The villa was just beside the sea and you could immediately see it once you stepped out.
Mu Wanqing looked at the two of them and smiled.
She said, "You two can stay at this villa. We'll stay at the one behind. Anyway, we won't disturb you two."
Lin Che quickly said, "You're not disturbing us at all. I still want to stay closer to Mother."
Mu Wanqing replied, "It's okay. Jingze will resent that. Actually, we shouldn't have come this time. Since you two have a break together, you should have gone on a honeymoon. When you two got married, you never went on a honeymoon and never had a proper wedding ceremony. It's all because of this Jingze who is always saying he's busy."
Mu Wanqing grunted and glared at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze looked helplessly at Mu Wanqing. Lin Che noticed and quickly said, "Honeymoons and wedding ceremonies are not big deals anyway. I'm also rather busy anyway."
