Chapter 223: Little Princess

No one had expected Luo Tao to have such a job. Their impression was that, even though he was good-looking, he was still an ignorant thug who knew only about fighting and brawling.

As for where this impression came from, in Mo Lian’s company, it was naturally Mo Lian herself who had told them about it, while Hong Jing’s executives learned about it from rumors.

“How is that possible?” Mo Lian’s sharp voice made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

“How can a good-for-nothing who only knows how to fight and get incarcerated, who can only rely on his wife to support him, know how to translate? Mo Yan, you’re not just saying that to put up a facade, are you?”

Mo Lian had long lost her rationality due to Mo Yan’s sweet appearance. She blurted out everything that was on her mind. In the end, she did not forget to question the authenticity of Mo Yan’s words.

The others frowned at Mo Lian’s loss of composure, but they could not suppress their curiosity. They wanted to know if Mo Yan was speaking the truth.

Mo Yan looked troubled. Although she had always received royalties from Luo Tao, she had never read Luo Tao’s translated books. She did not know how to prove it.

Seeing that Mo Yan did not answer, Mo Lian’s eyes lit up. She was about to make things difficult for Luo Tao.

She only heard a series of words that she could not understand coming from Luo Tao’s mouth.

Mo Yan was dumbfounded. She touched Xu Tian’s arm.

“Sister Xu, do you know what Luo Tao is saying?”

Xu Tian looked deeply at Luo Tao and whispered to Mo Yan, “He said is your company sure that they want to work with such a brainless woman?”

Pfft! Mo Yan accidentally laughed out loud, attracting the attention of a few people. Luo Tao also turned his gaze over and rubbed Mo Yan’s head.

The director’s reply made Luo Tao smile again.

“Sister Xu, what did the director say?”

“He said there was no other way. The other party gave a lot of money. Although the other party was unreasonable, unruly, willful, and brainless, no one would go against money.”

Mo Yan covered her mouth with all her strength to prevent her laughter from leaking out.

She didn’t expect the director to have such an evaluation of Mo Lian. She suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for Mo Lian.

She always thought that she was a princess in other people’s eyes, but in reality, she was just a clown.

“Sister Xu, what language are they speaking?”

Mo Yan was curious why everyone else had the same expression as her. It was fine if she alone could not understand it, but it seemed that the others could not understand it either.

“Swedish, a minor language,” Xu Tian replied.

“Swedish? Sister Xu, you know this too! You’re simply too amazing! You’re my idol!”

Mo Yan’s eyes glowed as she looked at Xu Tian. Her eyes were filled with admiration, causing Xu Tian, who was a serious person, to break into a smile.

“I’m also amazing, why don’t I see you praising me?”

Unknowingly, Luo Tao had already ended his conversation with the director and moved closer to Mo Yan.

“That’s different!” Mo Yan retorted.

“How is it different?” Luo Tao asked with a smile.

Suddenly, the director coughed twice, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere that Mo Yan and Luo Tao were about to create again.

“I wonder where Mr. Luo learned Swedish?”

The director was a little curious about Luo Tao. All along, he had only heard rumors about Mo Yan’s husband. There were all kinds of rumors, but now, after meeting him, he felt that the rumors were not believable.

“Self-taught,” Luo Tao answered.

This answer rendered the director speechless. Not many people would deliberately learn a minor language. Firstly, it was not very useful. Secondly, if it could not be used frequently, it would gradually become obsolete. With these two points, the prospects for development using a minor language were not optimistic. Moreover, a self-taught person like Luo Tao could not do it without perseverance, understanding, and interest in the language.

Just this alone made the director look at him in a new light.

“Mr. Luo is really amazing to be able to learn Swedish by himself and to be able to work as a translator.”

Luo Tao chuckled. “My wife is the one who’s amazing. During the two to three months when I was self-learning, the expenses at home were all borne by her alone. At that time, she had just started her job.”

Although what Luo Tao said about self-learning was false, he had indeed not earned a single cent for the family during the first two to three months.

Mo Yan did not expect Luo Tao to suddenly mention her. After hearing Luo Tao’s words, she almost burst into tears. Luo Tao cared about all of her efforts and remembered them.

Even so, Mo Lian was still unconvinced.

“Ha! You can translate just by speaking a few words in Swedish? How can translation be so easy? You must be bragging.”
