"Tang Huai is so young, yet she knows so much." Zhang Shiwan quickened her pace, walking alongside Jing Juntao: "Grandfather Jing, Tang Huai's foreign language skills are even better than mine, did you know?"
"Better than yours?" Jing Juntao stopped, his sharp eyes, which always seemed unchanging, flashed with surprise: "Have you communicated with her in a foreign language?"
Zhang Shiwan had only told Jing Juntao about where she encountered Jing Xuan and Tang Huai and didn't mention Tang Huai's interaction with the foreign investors, so she carefully recounted the matter to Jing Juntao.
The reason why Zhang Shiwan shared Tang Huai's proficiency in foreign languages with Jing Juntao was not because she wanted Jing Juntao to think Tang Huai was impressive and then like her.
Rather, she hoped that she would always be viewed as gentle, appropriate and generous, and understanding in Jing Juntao's eyes.
