Chapter 582: A Precise Translation by Choi Min-ah
"Cui Min'er?"

The Korean girl, dressed in a Chanel suit and carrying an LV handbag, looked quite surprised when she saw Choi Min-ah.

Although she was still speaking Korean, you could still tell the pronunciation just by hearing her name.

From the expression on the girl named Lina's face, Zhou Wang had already made a preliminary judgment that she and Cui Min'er were probably not just acquaintances, but rather had a very close relationship.

But it's hard to say what the relationship between the two is like.

Because Choi Min-ah's expression was a bit strange.

Embarrassment, bewilderment, and even a hint of fear...

The only thing missing was the joy of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".

The man accompanying Lina seemed to know Cui Min'er as well. After a brief moment of adjustment, Cui Min'er quickly went to greet the couple and began to talk to them.

Choi Min-ah's expression was still a little awkward. The two of them chattered away in Korean, which fell into Zhou Wang's blind spot, causing him to frown.

Zhou Wang couldn't help but ponder. Since he now had the talent of "language proficiency," why not take a day or two to learn Korean?

Although he doesn't like the people of this country, it's always more convenient to travel abroad... You can understand when others are cursing at you, right?

However, although Zhou Wang couldn't understand it at this time, there were others around him who could.

That was Yu Duo, who taught herself Korean so that she could communicate with Choi Min-ah more easily.

So when Zhou Wang looked up and saw her listening intently, he immediately grabbed her and pulled her over.

"Hey, don't just sit there watching the drama unfold, share what they're saying..."

Su Yaqing and Shen Yutong, who were also curious, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and quickly squeezed over to keep watching Yu Duo.

Yu Duo now had a legitimate reason to stand next to Zhou Wang. She secretly glanced at Su Yaqing and Shen Yutong, and seeing that neither of them seemed to be acting strangely, she squinted her eyes contentedly like a kitten before chuckling:

"Actually, it's nothing. The guy's name is Song Zheshuo, and the girl's name is Li Lina. They seem to be Min'er's high school classmates. Judging from their conversation, they might have been good friends before?"

"emmm..."

Yu Duo listened intently for a moment, then began translating in real time.

"This couple is a tourist from Hong Kong Island. They seem quite surprised to see Choi Man-yee here... Hmm, they seem to know Choi Man-yee's fiancé. I overheard Li Lina asking if they've had a fight recently..."

"Ah, listen to it again right away!"

Su Yaqing, standing to the side, had bright eyes, her gossip-loving spirit burning even brighter.

Although the four of them had lived together for over a year, they didn't really know Choi Min-ah's fiancé very well.

When Choi Min-ah talks about her fiancé, it's mostly about embellishing her vanity, like, "My Woo-bin oppa transferred several hundred million won to me again today," "He insisted on giving me a Bvlgari necklace, and I couldn't stop him," "Oppa said he'd buy me a Porsche when I go back to Korea," and so on...

Even Yu Duo, who was the most tolerant of Cui Min'er, had long been tired of hearing it. At first, she would agree with these conversations, but later she realized that it seemed that this was all Cui Min'er was sharing.

Is this what a normal relationship should be like?
Shouldn't what couples should really be proud of be those unforgettable romantic memories?

That's what Yu Duo thinks anyway.

Rather than saying Choi Min-ah was in a relationship, it's more accurate to say she was being kept by a sugar daddy...

However, recently, since Choi Min-ah returned to Korea, she seems to have rarely mentioned her "Oppa Woo-bin".

Now that they suddenly have a chance to learn more about her fiancé from a different angle, the three girls are naturally very curious.

Yu Duo listened intently for a while longer, then said uncertainly, "It seems they really did have a fight. Apparently, it's because her fiancé wouldn't let her come back to China, but she still ran back... Uh, that girl named Lina also said that Cui Min'er's fiancé is very angry and has openly stated on his WeChat Moments that if Cui Min'er doesn't go back to apologize, he won't give her a single penny in the future..."

The three girls looked a little embarrassed. They recalled some details of their recent interactions and realized that Cui Min'er might really be very poor.

For example, when they went shopping together in Shenzhen, Cui Min'er hardly bought anything, and the few decent outfits she wore were mostly from the previous season.

This is certainly not in line with Choi Min-ah's personality.

But at the same time, they were also a little puzzled.

"Hey, why is Min'er so tough this time?"

Shen Yutong said, puzzled, "Logically speaking, given how much Min'er values ​​her fiancé, even if she doesn't return to the country, she should at least try to apologize and admit her mistakes. But in the past few days, I haven't heard her contact her fiancé at all... This doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Yes!"

Yu Duo belatedly realized, "She seems quite happy all the time, and doesn't seem to be troubled at all. Also, I haven't heard her mention her Woo Bin oppa lately."

The two girls were whispering amongst themselves, while Su Yaqing remained silent. She only glanced at Zhou Wang with a charmingly playful look while seemingly lost in thought, and then gave him a symbolic pinch on the lower back.

Zhou Wang looked completely innocent.

No... what does this have to do with me?
Even if Cui Min'er really had some thoughts, it was just her wishful thinking. At the pool, Zhou Wang passively saw her naked... Yes, standing there for ten minutes was definitely not Zhou Wang's subjective intention.

He uttered a curse to the sky... never mind, he dared not utter it.

At this moment, Cui Min'er seemed to have finished her greetings with the couple. After hesitating for a moment, she led them over and introduced Su Yaqing and the others.

Su Yajing and the other two girls greeted them politely, but what made them feel uncomfortable was that the man named Song Zheshuo was alright, at least his attitude was still very humble and polite, but the girl named Li Lina had a haughty attitude.

It was as if she wouldn't have bothered talking to the three of them if it weren't for Choi Min-ah.

Zhou Wang could tell that this girl came from a well-off family; her casual clothes, without any visible logos, would place her among the "upper class" in South Korea. But the problem was...

Su Yajing and the others were also dressed quite well.

This only shows that she doesn't look down on Su Yajing and others, but rather on all Chinese people as equals.

That inexplicable sense of superiority is innate.

As for her boyfriend, Song Zheshuo, he was polite on the surface, but judging from the lewd glint hidden deep in his eyes, he was purely interested in the three girls' pretty appearances, rather than genuine politeness.

We're all men, who doesn't understand whom?
Perhaps only Su Yaqing noticed that Yu Duo and Shen Yutong were both a little lacking in intelligence, but she didn't realize it.

However, after they noticed that Su Yajing wouldn't shake hands with the man, they also didn't raise their hands, which made Song Zheshuo, who wanted to check the quality of their skin, a little embarrassed.

After introducing the three girls, it was naturally Zhou Wang's turn last. But as soon as Cui Min'er turned her gaze to Zhou Wang, both Li Lina and Song Zheshuo frowned. Li Lina even made no attempt to hide her disdain, turning to Cui Min'er and asking her a question.

"God, Cui Min'er, are you kidding me? This rude man is with you too?"

She was speaking Korean, of course, but the tone of disgust was universal.

Su Yaqing's expression changed immediately, and she turned to look at Yu Duo, "What did she say?"

Yu Duo was trembling with anger at this moment, "She...she said Zhou Wang is a man without manners."

While Su Yaqing and Shen Yutong were both taken aback, Zhou Wang remained completely unsurprised.

He had already guessed from their expressions and tone that what they said when they were criticizing him was definitely not nice, and now it was simply solid evidence.

"Lina, what are you saying? Shut up!"

Unaware of what had happened before, Choi Min-ah was shocked and quickly tried to stop him.

"I'm just stating a fact, why should I shut up?"

Li Lina frowned, "But you, Cui Min'er, how could you become friends with someone like that? It'll be a laughing stock if word gets back to China!"

"Stop talking!"

Cui Min'er was extremely anxious. She secretly glanced at Zhou Wang, who had no expression on his face, and after realizing that she couldn't stop Li Lina at all, she quickly turned to Zhou Wang and bowed repeatedly to apologize.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Zhou Wang, she...I didn't expect her to say these things. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't hold it against her, okay? Besides, this really has nothing to do with me..."

Cui Min'er was ten times more flustered than when she first saw the two of them. She seemed afraid that Zhou Wang would take his anger out on her because of this and develop a dislike for her again. As a result, she became incoherent.

"Cui Min'er, why are you apologizing to him? How can an ordinary Chinese man be worthy of your groveling? Are you disgracing us?"

Li Lina's face darkened, and she scolded, "Have you thought about what Park Woo-bin would think if he saw you like this? Are you trying to provoke him even more?"

Upon hearing Yu Duo's whispered translation, Zhou Wang immediately narrowed his eyes.

Because when Choi Min-ah apologized to her, she spoke in Chinese, but Lee Lina responded immediately, even though she still spoke in Korean, one thing was very clear.

That was this South Korean woman named Li Lina, who clearly understood Chinese.

Actually it is not surprising.

The prevalence of Chinese language education in South Korea is beyond many people's comprehension.

In fact, since 2011, Chinese has been included in the "second foreign language" curriculum in South Korean primary and secondary schools, becoming a popular choice after English and Japanese.

Many schools in South Korea offer Chinese as an elective course, and some private schools even make it a compulsory subject.

Especially in the "elite education" prevalent in South Korea, Chinese is of paramount importance.

...There's no other way. The little bit of culture they're so proud of is basically just skin and hair that they've plucked from the towering tree of China. If they can't even learn to recognize the roots, how can they possibly study their own culture?
So, after realizing that the other party could understand Chinese, Zhou Wang didn't need Yu Duo to relay his words. He immediately spoke calmly:

"I lack manners? Then may I ask who gave you the audacity to point fingers at other people's behavior in another country?"

"Granny?"

Li Lina was clearly a little confused and subconsciously looked at Cui Min'er beside her, "What does this mean?"

She can understand Chinese in general, but she is not fluent in spoken Chinese, and the vocabulary is obviously from an obscure field that schools would not teach.

Choi Min-ah was certainly aware of the significance of those two words, but she immediately looked troubled, unsure how to translate them.

At this moment, Zhou Wang looked at her and said, word by word, "Don't make any changes. Translate it to her using the most appropriate words for you."

Zhou Wang's tone was not harsh, but Cui Min'er trembled inexplicably, unable to muster even the slightest desire to disobey.

So she could only speak in Korean, stammering to Lee Lina and Song Cheol-seok, "Well... well... if I had to translate it, maybe 'a son of a bitch like J's' would be more accurate... right?"

Li Lina and Song Zheshuo's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

Zhou Wang almost lived in Bengbu as well.

I asked you to translate literally, but not to translate it this precisely!

I overheard Yu Duo and Cui Min'er chatting before, and they mentioned that in Korean, the most insulting word is actually "dog's offspring." Everyone has basically heard it in Korean movies; it's that very common phrase, "Hasagi"... oh, no, it's "gae-sae-kki."

And the term "J-girl" goes without saying.

Even in South Korea, this industry is not illegal, but it is considered the lowest level of society. For a girl like Li Lina, who was born into the upper class, it is an insult even more severe than being called a "bastard".

So she instantly trembled with rage, pointing at Zhou Wang and cursing in an incredibly shrill voice:

"You bastard...you damned bastard, how dare you insult me ​​like that..."

Song Zheshuo also scolded Zhou Wang a few times, but he seemed to genuinely not understand Chinese, and Zhou Wang didn't understand anything.

He seemed to have rolled up his sleeves, ready to make a move, but after glancing subtly at Zhou Wang's solid chest and abdomen, he merely assumed a stance and hesitated to attack.

At this moment, the suddenly tense atmosphere immediately attracted the attention of other diners, as such a scene was quite rare in such a high-end place.

The nearby waiters also gathered around, and the first one to arrive was the one who had shown off in front of Zhou Wang earlier.

Li Lina angrily began to berate the waiter.

"How could you let such a low-class, uncivilized man in here? I'm going to complain about you, no, I'm going to expose you... I'm going to tell all the tourists from South Korea how disgusting your restaurant is..."

The waiter immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly called the manager over.

After hearing what had happened, the manager walked towards Zhou Wang with a serious expression.

"Sir, please leave immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang was immediately delighted.
