Yang Cheng curled his lips. He couldn't say that when he was abroad, fast food coffee like Starbucks wasn't good enough for him to drink, so he casually said, "I don't have the habit of drinking coffee."
As they spoke, the car stopped, and the two got out of the car. Qiangwei took the initiative to hold Yang Cheng's arm. Her bright eyes were full of excitement, like a little girl walking into a doll shop and walking into a small Starbucks.
Because the two got out of the snow-white BMW, it easily attracted a lot of attention from passers-by. Many people couldn't help but look at Qiangwei's happy and beautiful face.
Yang Cheng was not a saint. He naturally felt a little proud in his heart. Every time he appeared on the street with a woman, he could always make people envious. If one day, he brought a group of women out and snuggled up to him, he didn't know if it would make some men want to kill him.
What was sad was that this kind of thing was just a dream at present.
This Starbucks was much smaller than the one he had brought Lin Ruoxi to before, but it was designed to look like a European study. The strong aroma of coffee permeated the air, and the nostalgic leather chairs and short wooden tables were placed neatly.
Several men and women who looked like white-collar workers sat there. Some were surfing the Internet on their laptops, and some were reading magazines. When they saw Yang Cheng and Qiangwei enter the door, most of these people showed a strange look.
It wasn't that Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi had flowers on their faces. It was just that although Yang Cheng had become a gold-collar person in the company, his usual temperament was no different from when he was selling mutton skewers. He was lazy like an unemployed man on the street.
Although Qiangwei was a woman who grew up soaked in the blood of the underworld, she had the elegance and gentleness of a lady. No matter how you looked at it, she was several levels higher than Yang Cheng. What's more, Yang Cheng had an ordinary face. Compared with Qiangwei's beauty, it was like a toad biting a swan's meat.
At the first moment, many people sighed in their hearts. No wonder it was said that men who were not bad would not be loved by women. This man must have been unlucky for several lifetimes. In this lifetime, he was willing to let a flower be planted there.
Yang Cheng was too lazy to care about these strange gazes. He took Qiangwei to the bar and asked with a smile, "What do you want to drink? Just order whatever you want."
Qiangwei looked at the various beverage names on the signs and was a little confused. She had only drunk pearl milk tea when she was a student. She didn't know much about these cold coffee drinks.
Qiangwei turned her head and looked at the drinks that the others in the cafe had ordered. She didn't want to ask too much and just ordered the same drink as the one she liked.
Qiangwei's eyes lit up after taking two glances. She dragged Yang Cheng and turned around. She pointed to a large drink ordered by a woman in a white suit not far away and said, "Hubby, I want that!"
Yang Cheng took a closer look. The woman was drinking a pink cold drink. It looked really dazzling. No wonder Qiangwei was immediately interested.
Yang Cheng didn't know what it was called, so he asked the female cashier behind the counter, "Miss, what is that person drinking over there?"
The cashier maintained her smile, but she didn't hide the contempt in her eyes for Yang Cheng. After all, he was still young and not very reserved.
"Sir, that lady is drinking strawberry. It's a custom-made cold drink. It's not written on the cold drink list," the cashier explained.
Yang Chen nodded in realization. Some coffee or cold drinks were preferred by certain customers, but they weren't sold in the coffee shop all year round. Most of the time, even if the drinks weren't on the menu, it didn't mean that they wouldn't serve them. Business was always flexible.
She didn't know if the cashier deliberately said the English name, but Qiangwei didn't know what this drink was, so she pulled Yang Cheng's arm and asked generously, "Hubby, what is that 'Four Corner Berry'?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "It's strawberry. It's probably a strawberry-flavored cold drink. Do you like it?"
"So strawberry is called 'Four Corner Berry'. Then I'll choose it, but I don't need such a big cup." Qiangwei wasn't sure, so she didn't think it was necessary to take a cup that was too big.
As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from behind, seemingly unintentional. "It's ridiculous for a country bumpkin to pretend to be elegant."
The two of them didn't lower their voices, and the cafe was very quiet and small. In addition, many people around them were paying attention to the two of them. Therefore, this conversation was heard by many people.
The woman closest to them was wearing thin black-rimmed glasses. Her appearance was pretty, and she wore a light-colored silver-gray suit. She looked quite intellectual. Previously, she had been paying attention to Qiangwei's words and actions. Out of a kind of comparison, she would naturally pay more attention to someone who was prettier than her.
At this time, the woman found that Qiangwei didn't know anything about the things in Starbucks. She didn't even know the simplest English word "strawberry." Her eyes were full of contempt, and she felt that her self-confidence was strengthened again.
The spoiled temperament that she had developed in the big city made this white-collared woman say those mocking words.
As soon as she said that, some other intellectuals and office workers who had the same idea also laughed in a profound manner. Many of them looked at Yang Cheng and Qiangwei with ridicule.
Qiangwei didn't expect that these people would look down on her with a few casual words. She rarely appeared in ordinary public places, and she didn't have the opportunity to communicate with these ordinary white-collar workers in the city. At this time, when she was ridiculed, she didn't feel angry because she was looked down upon. Instead, she felt that she had embarrassed Yang Cheng, and she felt very bad.
Although she could move her fingers, and her subordinates could torture these insignificant white-collar workers to death, at the end of the day, these were ordinary people. If she used the power of the underworld to deal with them, it would only make her look more pitiful.
Originally, Yang Cheng couldn't be bothered with these people. These people just had nothing to do all day, and they liked to find a sense of superiority from the "weak." It was a waste of time to argue with them.
However, when Yang Cheng noticed that there was a trace of sadness, grievance, and sadness in Qiangwei's eyes, he didn't want to just let it go.
Yang Cheng walked to the white-collar female who spoke with his arm around Qiangwei, and said with a blank expression, "Apologize to my woman. You made her unhappy."
In this day and age, there were many overseas returnees. Many people in the cafe also came back from abroad. Soon, they could tell that this woman was speaking French.
Obviously, she wanted to embarrass Yang Cheng again. The woman's meaning was very simple. You want to argue? Sure, but do you understand what I'm saying?
Unfortunately, Yang Cheng didn't think about it and opened his mouth, "Aux excuses de femme de mine."
The authentic French pronunciation with a Parisian accent made the woman, who had her head lowered, finally raise her head in astonishment. She looked at Yang Cheng in disbelief, and the surrounding onlookers were also stunned. They even wondered if they were hearing things. How could this young man who seemed to have difficulty graduating from junior high school speak such pure French?
Qiangwei's eyes were full of happiness. Although she didn't understand, she knew that Yang Cheng was standing up for her.
She wasn't a weak woman. Because of this, it was particularly precious to have a man's protection.
"Surprised? Do you think you're the only one in the world who can speak French? Is it shameful not to know English? Do you know that your parents, your grandparents, don't know English, and there are many people who don't know English. If people who know English are just a group of people who like to be arrogant, then that's the sad reality. "Yang Cheng said lightly.
The woman's face turned red, and the people around them were also speechless. They were all educated people, and of course, they knew that what Yang Cheng said was right. It was just that people's arrogance often covered up their original innocence.
"My woman doesn't know English, but she has nothing to feel guilty about. She expressed it generously. The two of us rarely drink coffee and rarely come to such a place, but it doesn't mean that we don't have the ability to spend money here, and it doesn't mean that we're not as good as you. " Yang Cheng continued coldly, "If you still don't apologize, I don't mind suing you for assault. You can try."
Yang Cheng wasn't being alarmist, nor was he being hot-headed. The best way to deal with ordinary people was to use the rules of ordinary society, which was the legal way.
He couldn't just twist the woman's head off just because she made Qiangwei unhappy.
Every world had its own rules. Just like how the God Lord didn't release the seal on mortals, and Hongmeng didn't interfere much with the secular world.
Yang Cheng, who had a breakthrough in his cultivation and state of mind, had a deeper understanding of these seemingly tacit rules.
"I … I'm sorry, please forgive me." The woman finally lowered her head. Even though she was a little reluctant, she knew that if she didn't apologize, she wouldn't be able to get out of this embarrassing situation. Moreover, it would make her seem more of a sore loser.
Only then was Yang Cheng satisfied. He hugged Qiangwei back to the counter and ordered two medium glasses of strawberry lemonade from the dazed cashier.
When the pink cold drink was in her hand, Qiangwei's previous bad mood was forgotten. She carefully took a sip and then frowned, looking a little strange.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Yang Cheng asked.
Qiangwei shook her head. "It's sour, sweet, and has a strawberry flavor. It's very smooth, but because there are more flavors, it feels strange."
Yang Cheng wasn't in a hurry to drink it. He held Qiangwei's hand and walked out of the cafe. He planned to find a suitable restaurant for dinner while drinking.
"Hubby, what did you say to that woman just now?" Qiangwei bit her straw. Her voice was soft, and she revealed the expression of a charming little woman. She was also with Yang Cheng, and she had a relaxed attitude that she could only have when she was relieved of her burden.
Yang Cheng casually said, "That woman told me to scram and not to talk nonsense in front of her. I told her not to take yourself too seriously …" It's that simple. "
"I thought you were going to make a move just now, so I was a little worried. After all, it's not good to cause some trouble for that kind of thing. Besides, I'm not very cultured, so it's not a big deal to be said a few words," Qiangwei said faintly.
"What are you saying? You don't even owe him money, why are you letting him talk about you for nothing? Even if you're willing, my heart will ache." Yang Cheng frowned.
Qiangwei pursed her lips and asked, "Hubby, to be honest, do you feel uncomfortable because I've embarrassed you?"
Yang Chen stopped in his tracks. With a serious expression, he said, "I'll only be grateful that you're willing to stay by my side. In my eyes, even if you can't count with your fingers, I'll still find you adorable. Do you understand what I mean? If you say that again, I will be really angry. "
Qiangwei nodded thoughtfully and laughed, "Although I don't read much, I also know that 'a woman without talent is a virtue'. Hmm, it seems that it's true. Only a stupid woman like me can find a good man."
Yang Cheng reached out his hand and pinched Qiangwei's nose, causing the woman to pout coquettishly.
"I think I should just call you 'stupid'. What kind of nonsense is this …" Yang Cheng sighed. Just as he was about to ask Qiangwei what she wanted to eat for dinner, he discovered that Qiangwei had stopped in her tracks and was staring straight at the two figures on their right.
