Chapter 136

There was an obvious trace of arrogance and superiority in her voice. No one could blame her since it was indeed difficult to apply for a membership card at Shanghai Nights, and in Eastshire, having the membership card was a symbol of status!

However, she didn’t know that both Matthew and Sasha each had a Supreme Card and Diamond Card.

So how could these waiters stop them at the door?

Still, Sasha didn’t think much of it and smiled while walking into the restaurant with Penny. In the restaurant, a Caucasian man was seated casually in one of the booths, and when he saw Sasha, his eyes lit up and he sprang up from his seat. “Penny, who’s this beautiful lady?” he asked in a foreign language smugly, as if speaking in this language made him more superior.

“She’s a good friend of mine!” Penny replied in the same language with a smile. Then, she turned to Sasha and said, “I’m sorry, Peter just came here and can’t speak our language too well.” Turning back to him, she continued, “Peter, you’ll have to adapt since not everyone is highly-educated in this country!”

An arrogant look appeared on Peter’s face. “That’s a shame! Our language is used worldwide and one can only integrate into the civilization of the world by mastering this language!”

He was implying that one couldn’t integrate into the world civilization without knowing his language and Matthew snorted, thinking that Peter was too proud. Didn’t he know that the biggest part of the world was using the language from Matthew’s country? Moreover, Peter’s country only had a history of a few hundred years old, but he actually had the guts to bring up the topic of world civilization. The civilization here was the oldest and most widespread!

But Penny simply smiled, as though she was agreeing with Peter. “Let me introduce everyone! This is my fiancé, Peter, and this is a good friend of mine, Sasha Cunningham!” she said with a smile, completely ignoring Matthew who was standing next to Sasha.

“Beautiful lady, it’s my pleasure to meet you!” Peter extended his hand, took Sasha’s and bent down to plant a kiss on the back of her hand. Matthew furrowed his brows and swiftly stood in front of Sasha while pushing his hand away. With a frown, Peter cast Matthew a disdainful look and said, “Excuse me, sir. In my country, it’s considered very rude to cut off a gentleman’s kiss on a lady’s hand!”

Matthew replied coldly, “In my country, you’re considered a rogue for grabbing a lady’s hand and kissing it without first asking for her permission!”

Penny’s face turned stone cold and she said in a low growl, “What did you say, Matthew? Do you know that in Peter’s country, it’s considered a form of respect to kiss a lady’s hand? You’re a filthy person and so are the thoughts in your mind. Such a gentlemanly gesture has turned into a roguish act in your eyes. I think you’re the thug here!”

“I don’t know if this is a form of respect in his country or not!” Matthew scowled. “But doing this in our country is disrespectful to the ladies!”

Annoyed, Penny retorted, “Peter isn’t from our country, so shouldn’t you respect his customs?’

“Since he’s here in our country, shouldn’t he respect our traditions then?” Matthew shot back.

“You—” Furious, Penny had no rebuttals and could only curse at him angrily instead. “I can’t communicate with an uncultured person like you! Sasha, why did you bring this useless bum here for a meal? Are you trying to spoil my appetite? Tell him to go home so as not to affect our mood!”
