Chapter 614 Toasting is taboo

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Song Yinyin quickly shook her head: "No, it's nothing! Oh, Your Excellency, eat it quickly. If you think it tastes good, I will make it for you next time!"

President Shimeier was quite surprised: "Oh, you can do it?"

"Well," she nodded, "I learned from my mother. Although I am not good at cooking, longan glutinous rice cakes are not bad."

"Am looking forward to."

President Shi Maier nodded, put the longan glutinous rice cake on the plate into his mouth, nodded and said, "It really tastes good, but it doesn't seem to be as good as the ones I've eaten before."

"Have you ever eaten this longan glutinous rice cake before?"

Song Yinyin asked in surprise.

"Well, I came to Imperial City more than 20 years ago, and a friend also made this longan glutinous rice cake."

Song Yinyin nodded and said, "That friend of yours must be very skilled."

"That's right." President Shi Maier responded, seemingly lost in memory.

A waiter just passed by her, holding a plate full of crystal-clear wines of various colors, Song Yinyin called out to him on a whim, and took two glasses of red wine.

She handed one of the glasses to President Shi Maier and saluted, "President Shi Maier, can I toast you?"

Toasting is a kind of culture in country Z, and it is a very common thing.

However, at this moment, President Shi Maier showed a surprised expression on his face, and he has not taken the glass of wine in Song Yinyin's hand for a long time.

Not only that, but the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Song Yinyin wondered intuitively, why did everyone look at her with strange eyes?
Just as he was thinking, Lu Jinhan strode over.

"Song Yinyin, put down the wine quickly!"

"Uh, why?"

Looking at Lu Jinhan's angry face, Song Yinyin was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

Lu Jinhan tensed his jaw, walked over and snatched the glass of wine from her hand, and quickly put it back on the plate in the waiter's hand.

Then, he turned around and bowed respectfully to President Shi Maier, and said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, it was your wife who offended you, please forgive me."

After a slight pause, he turned his head and stared at Song Yinyin, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you apologize to President Shi Maier soon?!"

Song Yinyin was stunned, she didn't know what she did wrong at all, why did Lu Jinhan want to attack herself so nervously?
She hadn't seen such a cold side of Lu Jinhan for a long time.

Probably when she just returned to China, when she and Song Dabai were taken to Lu's mansion by Lu Jinhan, he had such an indifferent expression on his face.

For a moment, she only felt wronged, and her eyes were slightly red.

On the contrary, President Shi Maier shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, I don't think Mrs. Lu knows the customs of our S country, so it's understandable for her to say something wrong, she didn't mean it."

Smiling, he looked at Song Yinyin and said, "In our country S, most citizens believe in Christianity, and alcohol is forbidden. Especially on formal occasions, if you toast to an elder, it will be regarded as a toast." It is a big taboo, it is a kind of disrespect or an act of colliding with the other party. If it is serious, it will be cast aside or despised by others."

After listening to President Shi Maier's explanation, Song Yinyin suddenly realized.

She was terrified, never thought that 'toasting' is a taboo in country S!
The so-called ignorance is innocent, Song Yinyin is indeed unintentional, and President Shi Maier is also very open-minded and tolerant, forgiving her ignorant behavior.
