Chapter 166: The Raven Can Save Lives
"Ruth’s phone can’t send or receive Chinese text messages because her network isn’t China Mobile or Unicom, so if you send her Chinese texts, all she gets is gibberish." Back in the living room, Mia curled up on the sofa again and stared at Yusuf curiously. Despite her large frame, she’s never known what the words ’shame’ or ’embarrassment’ mean."
Yusuf nodded, foreigners’ phones being able to receive Chinese text messages would be odd indeed; he had only asked out of curiosity.
"So, what’s this party you’re attending tomorrow night where you have to bring a male companion?" Yusuf suddenly remembered he had previously agreed to be her date for the evening.
"It’s a regional charity event hosted by ’Sichuan-Western Business Friends.’ All the attendees are well-known wealthy merchants from Sichuan and the West. I’m representing my family’s company. You know I’m a director there. With my dad not in the country, and the other managers not carrying enough weight, my dad asked me to go."
"As for why I need a male companion, it’s because you’re my shield. At these kinds of parties, there are always some annoying second-generation rich kids who try to bother me. I can’t be bothered with them, so if anyone pester me tomorrow night, you’ll just send them packing for me."
"Oh, sure, no problem, I’ll send them packing!" Yusuf readily nodded and said.
"That’s what I’m talking about, real brotherhood there!" Mia praised him.
"A promise is a promise, right? How could I go back on my word?" Yusuf chuckled.
"Hmm, dress formally tomorrow, that’s all," Mia advised.
"Got it, won’t let you down, Miss Lara," Yusuf laughed.
