Chapter 897: Upstaged
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Sheng pinched himself discreetly, feeling a sharp sting.
This wasn’t a dream.
Wang Qiang and the others finally snapped out of their daze. They couldn’t comprehend the foreign language, and they assumed the little girl was just mimicking Xu Sheng’s accent. It sounded convincing enough.
Wang Qiang’s face regained some of its bravado as he smirked, “Anyone can babble nonsense, young master. Just because I don’t speak foreign languages doesn’t mean I can’t tell she’s just messing around.”
Xu Sheng ignored Wang Qiang, feeling embarrassed for him. The little girl was speaking genuine, fluent foreign language—not just making noise. He turned to Su Le and continued to question her in the same language, “How do you know this language?”
Su Le puffed out her cheeks, her smile radiant as she replied effortlessly, “Because I just can! It’s so easy; it would be strange if I couldn’t!”
Her mother spoke this language every day, often chatting with the wall or telling her bedtime stories in it. She had been listening so much that it was only natural she could say a few words herself, even if this was her first time speaking.
Xu Sheng’s confidence took a massive hit.
In defiance, he decided to use even more complex vocabulary to challenge her. “Are you in school? Who’s your foreign language teacher? Why is he teaching you?”
Su Le tilted her head, blinking her big eyes a few times. “I haven’t started school yet, but I have an amazing mom! She knows everything. She didn’t specifically teach me foreign language, but she speaks it so well that I learned just by listening to her every day!”
Xu Sheng gulped hard, feeling further diminished. For a moment, he found himself at a loss for words.
The others around him were equally dumbfounded, especially Su Li and Gao Ming, who were just beginning to process that little Su Le could understand and speak a foreign language fluently.
Oh my god, had Su Le received divine inspiration? Su Li remembered that just six months ago, Su Le could barely speak. Just a few months back, she had only just caught up to normal speaking levels. How had she suddenly become so impressive?
Despite the playful teasing from his sister, Su Li didn’t mind at all. When he got home, he happened to bump into Su Shen, who was just coming back from outside.
Excitedly, he shouted, “Dad, Dad! Lele is so awesome! She speaks foreign language really well!”
Su Shen locked the car door and strode over, scooping up Su Le with a gentle smile. “Really? My little Lele is so talented! You can speak a foreign language now?”
As Su Shen carried her inside, his two sons trailed closely behind.
Su Le nodded enthusiastically and said, “Mommy teaches me! I can speak foreign language now! Daddy, I want Mommy to hug me!”
Su Le spent most of her time with Gu Zi, but lately, Gu Zi had been busy studying for exams, leaving Su Shen to care for her more. Naturally, Su Le was more attached to Gu Zi and often looked for her while being held by Su Shen.
He placed her on the sofa and patted her head affectionately. “You’re so smart, Lele! But let’s wait a bit before we find Mommy for a hug. We don’t want to disturb her while she’s studying.”frёewebnoѵēl.com
