    Danny observed Ste and noticed this was the first time since he rose to his current position that


    someone had taken the lead in a conversation in theirnguage with him. He found it rather intriguing.


    “You make a valid point,” he remarked. “Did you ask me to speak Hustuabourgian because you’re not


    proficient in Yostrainian?”


    Others turned their attention to Ste upon hearing that.


    Being bad at Yostrainian was not a big deal, but the fact that she asked Danny made it seem like she


    was ignorant. With Jaylene, who was fluent in Yostrainian, standing nearby, it inevitably made people


    think less of Ste. They realized that they not only had different upbringings but also varying education


    levels and views as well.


    Wenham was about to speak up for his daughter, but Ste admitted, “My speaking is average, but I


    have no problem understanding you.”


    People learnnguage when they can practice it in an environment where it is often used. Ste had


    long set Yostrainian aside after she passed it in sixth grade.

    However, she often tuned into Keegan’s phone calls when hemunicated with overseas clients in


    Yostrainian. Her spokennguage was only passable due to this. She could manage basic


    communication but was bound to stumble when it came toplex conversations.


    Moreover, Keegan had briefed Ste on Dannyst night. He mentioned that Danny appreciated


    straightforward people. Hence, Ste found it appropriate to just ask him if he spoke Hustuabourgian


    instead of pretending she knew thenguage well. After all, it was something that would be revealed


    sooner orter. It would be embarrassing if she was exposed.


    Just as Ste finished speaking, Darcie exined, “Unlike Jaylene, who spent a few years studying


    abroad, Ste did not get to grow up in a Yostrainian-speaking environment. It’s rather impressive that


    she can understand it even a little, considering that the quality of education in Hustuabourg is limited.”


    Ste paused and looked at her stepmother. While it seemed like Darcie was defending her with that


    statement, upon closer examination, it subtly highlighted the difference between her and Jaylene.


    Ste smiled and said, “Darcie, perhaps you’ve been abroad too long. Your impressions of


    Hustuabourg seem to be outdated. Conditions have improved now, and parents pay great attention to


    cultivating their children’s secondnguage. Try stopping any primary school student off the street and


    ask them for directions in Yostrainian; they’ll help you find your way. Just because I haven’t put much


    effort into learning thenguage, which doesn’t mean the quality of education in Hustuabourg is low.”


    Darcie froze upon hearing that. She chuckled and said,” Indeed, this country has changed so much


    over these years.”


    Danny was more interested in Ste’s candor. Although his girlfriend was from Hustuabourg, he did not


    have a particrly good impression of the people. This was because he had encountered a


    Hustuabourgian business partner who caused him a lot of trouble during his early entrepreneurial days.


    Danny met the person at university. They started their business together, but luck was not on their side.


    Their products did not sell well, and they had difficulty finding investors. They lived frugally, scrimping


    and saving every penny to invest in their business. They practically stayed in their office during the


    most difficult times, sharing a single loaf of bread with each other. Despite their circumstances, neither


    of them spoke of giving up.


    The business started to show signs of improvement after two years. Just as Danny thought their hard


    work was finally paying off, his partner took their profit and defected to arge enterprise at the time.
