Chapter 1315: Chapter 1314
To deal with unruly children, you must first deal with their unruly parents. Let the parents handle their kids themselves; that’s the most effective approach.
Sure enough, under the strong woman’s slap, although the unruly child looked very aggrieved, he obediently bowed to Lin Fan: "I’m sorry, brother."
The woman smiled apologetically: "Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry, I offended you today. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this once."
Everyone looked at Lin Fan; this woman was really too arrogant earlier. The way she insulted Lin Fan—if Lin Fan didn’t let it go, everyone could understand and even feel relieved because this woman was indeed too excessive and made many people unhappy.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "It’s really not a big deal. Since you’ve apologized, let’s just forget it."
The woman was overjoyed, with a grateful expression, she nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin."
After speaking, the woman hurriedly pulled the unruly child away, afraid that Lin Fan would change his mind and argue with her further. She couldn’t stand up to Lin Fan.
Seeing that Lin Fan let the woman go, people around gave him a thumbs-up, commenting on Mr. Lin’s unusual generosity for not fussing over it. Compared to the woman’s earlier aggressiveness, Mr. Lin truly showed magnanimity, worthy of being the richest man in Yun City—his perspective is indeed different!
For Lin Fan, this was just a small episode. Of course, Lin Fan didn’t realize at this moment that he would encounter this mother and son again later.
Soon, it was time to board the plane, and Lin Fan got on the plane.
Nothing happened on the way, and two hours later, the plane landed at Hong Kong Airport.
Lin Fan was about to wait at Hong Kong Airport and then transfer to the flight going to the capital of the United Kingdom, London.
Seeing that there was still half an hour before the connecting flight, Lin Fan felt a bit hungry, planning to grab something to eat since he didn’t have time for breakfast. Earlier, he received a call from Ye Tianyu, went to the prison, and then rushed to catch the flight, leaving him quite hungry now.
Lin Fan looked around and saw a convenience store not far away, so he walked over, intending to buy something to eat.
Hong Kong is an international metropolis, and Hong Kong Airport is a bustling hub with flights to various parts of the world. So in Hong Kong Airport, you can see many people from different countries and with different skin colors. Of course, Hong Kong is part of Huaxia, so Huaxia People are still the majority here; it’s just noticeably more diverse compared to other places.
Although Lin Fan had been in Yun City for many years, he wasn’t entirely inexperienced. However, he rarely dealt with foreigners, so seeing so many foreigners for the first time was somewhat unsettling for him. Thinking about his upcoming trip to the United Kingdom, where it’s mostly foreigners, made Lin Fan feel a bit amused.
The biggest problem undoubtedly was the language barrier, which made Lin Fan feel a headache coming on. Yes, that’s indeed problematic.
Even though Lin Fan graduated from college, his language talent was exceedingly poor, and his foreign language skills were quite bad.
It’s laughable, but Lin Fan never passed the College English Test Band 4 despite taking it twice. Then he just gave up on it. Thankfully, at that time, passing Band 4 wasn’t a requirement for college graduation, so Lin Fan successfully got his diploma.
Moreover, he did fail a subject in college; the only one he ever failed was English. Later, he passed the make-up exam before graduation and got his diploma. Thinking about it brought a taste of bitter tears, and Lin Fan couldn’t figure out why his language skills were so poor.
Now he felt he had underestimated the situation; maybe he should have brought Wei Yue’er along to be his translator. Wei Yue’er had overseas experience, making her quite proficient in foreign languages.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment but decided not to call Wei Yue’er, as he needed her in Yun City to handle his business affairs.
If it really comes to it, he could always hire a translator locally in the United Kingdom afterward.
Lin Fan chuckled bitterly to himself—what can he do if his foreign language skills are lacking?
Thinking this, Lin Fan arrived at the convenience store, picked up a piece of bread and a bottle of water, intending to make do with that.
It was peak timing, with quite a few people in the convenience store. Customers were lining up to pay, so Lin Fan joined the queue.
After waiting for a while and just when it was about to be Lin Fan’s turn to pay, suddenly a fair-skinned foreign woman appeared from the side, aggressively cutting in line before Lin Fan.
Lin Fan frowned; if the person had kindly asked, he might have let her go first, thinking maybe she was in a hurry and he had time before his flight. He could afford to be a gentleman, letting her pay first.
But now, this foreign woman showed no politeness at all, didn’t greet Lin Fan, and forcefully cut in line, not even looking at him, as if she didn’t regard him at all.
Lin Fan wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied; how could he swallow this insult?
Lin Fan reached out and pushed the foreign woman a little, saying: "Hey, please line up."
The foreign woman staggered, angrily turning to look at Lin Fan, shouting in a language: "What are you doing?"
Lin Fan said: "Line up!"
The foreign woman actually understood Huaxia language and impatiently said in Huaxia language: "Get out of the way! Don’t block my path, you Huaxia person!"
Lin Fan was at a loss for words; this foreign woman’s manners were exceptionally low indeed. Though Lin Fan’s foreign language wasn’t good, he watched movies, and from the woman’s accent, he could tell it was a London accent, meaning this woman was likely an Englishman.
"Since you can understand Huaxia language, let me reason with you. You cut into my queue, and you’re still justified, telling me to get out of the way?" Lin Fan chuckled.
The foreign woman gave Lin Fan a disdainful look and snorted: "Inferior being, is there any problem with me telling you to get out of the way? This is my country, I can tell you to get out; now get out!"
Lin Fan shook his head and said: "You might have misunderstood; either you’re naturally not very bright or you’re still sleepy. Tell me, how is this your country? Sorry, but this is Huaxia!"
The foreign woman stomped her feet: "This is my country, not your country, so please get out!"
Lin Fan said: "Hilarious! Didn’t your Queen inform you or what? This is Huaxia—open your dog eyes wide and see clearly, Hong Kong Airport, Huaxia!"
People around had already noticed the commotion and couldn’t help but laugh hearing Lin Fan’s words.
Indeed, even a three-year-old knows this is Huaxia; the foreign woman must still be dreaming.
Lin Fan said: "Firstly, this is Huaxia. Secondly, cutting in line is wrong, so go to the back of the queue voluntarily, or I won’t be polite!"
The foreign woman made a scene: "Why should I let you, you Huaxia person, I look down on you!"
Lin Fan said: "Whether you look down on me matters little to me. I look down on you even more. Is this the quality of you Englishmen?"
At this point, the person before Lin Fan had finished paying, so it was Lin Fan’s turn, but the foreign woman was still hogging the spot.
Fed up with arguing, Lin Fan simply grabbed the foreign woman’s collar, lifted her, and tossed her aside.
