Normally, everyone would stick with their own national team.
Each country forms its own group, and everyone just does their own thing.
But of course, there are always exceptions—some people just love to mingle everywhere.
Cici never expected that the first person to run over to the China team would be Clarence!
What surprised Cici even more was that Clarence was actually one of the contestants in this tea art competition.
Clarence had spotted Cici early on. She truly hated this Chinese woman... it made her grit her teeth!
Charles Yin, that arrogant and devilishly charming man, was indifferent to all other beauties, but treated this Chinese woman differently!
This made Clarence really upset!
Back in England, Clarence had never managed to get the upper hand over Cici. Now that they're in Japan, Clarence was determined to embarrass her!
"I heard everyone in the Yun Family is incredibly talented. I never really believed it before, but now that I’ve met Miss Cecilia Grant, I have to admit it! I didn’t expect Miss Grant to be not only skilled in languages but also a master at brewing tea." Clarence walked over and said directly to Cici, "It’s a shame I didn’t get to taste your tea back in England. What a pity!"
Cici’s expression changed slightly.
On the surface, Clarence’s words sounded harmless, but if you thought about it, you’d realize she was actually mocking the Yun Family for always serving others.
Whether it’s translating or brewing tea, isn’t it all just serving other people?
Who would’ve thought—a proper British aristocrat, playing word games just like the Chinese!
Max Mo, sitting nearby, gave a gentle smile and said, "Miss Clarence, as a British noble, you still insist on doing everything yourself. For such a small competition, you personally came to lead your team. That must be exhausting! I always heard British nobles don't bother with trivial matters, but I guess that’s not always true."
Max Mo’s implication was clear: As Miss Clarence, you’re ignoring your own family’s business in England to come all the way to Japan for a minor contest. You must have a lot of free time—probably because you’re not favored at home. And if you’re not favored, what right do you have to criticize others for serving people?
At first, Clarence didn’t catch the hidden meaning, but when she saw Cici struggling to hold back a laugh, she quickly figured it out.
Clarence shot Max Mo a fierce glare. She dared to offend Cici, but she wouldn’t risk crossing Max Mo.
After all, Max Mo represented his country in certain matters!
She might be a lady of the Clarence Family, but she wasn’t the sole heir. If she got on the wrong side of China’s elite, her family definitely wouldn’t protect her!
