Xu Damin sighed in his heart. Sure enough, he couldn't hide even if he tried to hide. He couldn't even pretend to be invisible.
He stood up bravely and forced a happy face: "Yes, we were not just a family five hundred years ago."
"Oh?" Dong Changsheng became interested: "Does this mean you really have the same ancestors?"
Only Mrs. Ball was confused.
She didn't know much about domestic culture, so naturally she didn't know what this meant.
"Yes, this Mr. Xu, his name is Xu Erlong, is my cousin." Xu Damin forced a smile.
"So it turns out that Xu Damin was staring at his cousin just now?" Jiang Tingting looked at Xu Damin, then turned to look at Xu Erlong.
If you look closely, you can see that their facial features are somewhat similar.
However, Xu Erlong's appearance and temperament are more tough, while Xu Damin's appearance and temperament are more gentle and feminine.
Jiang Tingting was a little ashamed. It turned out that Damin was not staring at the beautiful girl just now, but he was just looking at his cousin.
Thinking like this, Jiang Tingting felt mentally balanced.
https://m.
"Oh, what's going on?" Mrs. Ball still didn't quite understand.
Xu Damin had been wondering just now, why did Xu Erlong appear here?
Seeing that Mrs. Baoer was confused at this moment, Xu Damin smiled and said: "When I saw Erlong here for the first time just now, I couldn't believe my glasses and couldn't imagine that this was my cousin. After all,
When I left home after taking the college entrance examination, my cousin was still catching eels in the countryside and selling them, working as a self-employed businessman. I didn’t expect that he would actually appear here in this short period of time, which really surprised me.”
On the surface, this sounds like it's a surprise for cousins to meet here.
But the underlying meaning is that Xu Erlong's life story.
A poor boy from the countryside, who had no formal job and could only catch eels and sell them, was very low-income. However, he suddenly changed his identity and appeared in a suit and leather shoes on such an occasion. It was difficult not to make people doubt his origins.
Sure enough, Dong Changsheng's eyes looked at Xu Erlong, full of interrogation.
After all, Dong Changsheng is an overseas Chinese, but he has lived abroad before, but he is very clear about these domestic sects.
Could it be that he is another opportunistic person? Then he tries every means to sneak into such a place, hoping to get some benefits from foreign guests?
The waiter at the hotel entrance requires people with Oriental faces to show their passports when entering and exiting, just to avoid suspicious people coming out to approach foreign guests.
But Mrs. Ball and the foreign guests did not understand the meaning.
Many words have a different flavor when spoken in another local language.
What's more, when this sentence is translated into foreign languages, its meaning changes.
When Mrs. Baoer's translator translated Xu Damin's words to Mrs. Baoer, it turned into a statement of fact, saying that Xu Erlong had sold eels before.
Mrs. Baoer looked at Xu Erlong with interest: "Xu, you used to sell eels? My God, you know how to do a lot of business. This is so surprising."
Although Xu Damin did not understand Mrs. Baoer's words, looking at Mrs. Baoer's expression, he did not feel contempt or suspicion towards Xu Erlong, but an expression of surprise and approval.
Xu Damin secretly hated that his foreign language was not very good.
Although I am also trying hard to learn foreign languages, I am still a mute in foreign languages.
Are you OK?
May I have your name?
How are you today?
Can you help me?
Excuse me, please bring me my hat...
Now when the foreign guests spoke, they spoke so fast that Xu Damin could only understand a few words.
Xu Damin was panicking. He felt that Xu Erlong was a potential danger here, and he wanted to drive Xu Erlong away.
Only when Xu Erlong is not here can he feel a little more at ease.
Xu Daming's plan failed, so he tried another one.
He frowned and said to Xu Erlong: "Erlong, I'm so happy to see you here. It's great. You didn't go to college at first, but you have always been worried about me and have many prejudices against me. I am also very guilty,
I feel like it's delayed your future. But now that you're able to get along like this, attend such a party, and get to know foreign guests, you're considered promising, so I feel at ease."
Jiang Tingting and Dong Changsheng both understood this.
It turns out that this Xu Erlong himself did not have the ability to go to college and had a lot of resentment towards Xu Damin. In the past, he could only make a living by selling eels in the countryside, but now he is still like this.
Song Tingting said bluntly: "He himself has not been admitted to university, so why does he have so many prejudices against you? You don't have to worry about it. This university is not so easy to get into. There are only a few classmates in our school who have been admitted to university."
Dong Changsheng frowned, and he vaguely reminded Mrs. Baoer in a foreign language: "Mrs. Baoer, as friends, I kindly remind you that the country has a large population and complex composition, and there are many mixed dragons and snakes. You are making friends.
When you encounter something, you must keep your eyes open and be vigilant.”
Xu Erlong listened to his words, obviously he was telling Mrs. Baoer to be wary of him.
Xu Erlong smiled at Dong Changsheng and answered him in a fluent foreign language: "Mr. Dong, thank you for your kind reminder, but it's best for you to remind yourself. After all, we have a large population in the country, and there are many people.
It’s knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts.”
Dong Changsheng was extremely shocked when he heard Xu Erlong's words.
First, I was shocked that Xu Erlong could speak a foreign language fluently.
Since he can speak foreign languages, he can naturally understand clearly what he reminded Mrs. Ball just now, which shows that he is a bit of a villain.
Secondly, Xu Erlong's words are equivalent to telling himself unmistakably that instead of being wary of him, it is better to be wary of Xu Damin who knows people well but does not know his heart.
In fact, there was no need for Xu Erlong to remind him, Dong Changsheng had a general impression of Xu Damin, and he was not a good person.
Dong Changsheng laughed and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu's foreign language skills to be quite good, but I was too abrupt."
Xu Damin was shocked when he heard the few of them chatting and laughing, and almost turned to stone on the spot.
This, this, how can Xu Erlong know foreign languages?
I am a college student and have been studying in college for more than a year, but my foreign language proficiency is only at the test level.
But how come Xu Erlong can speak foreign languages?
Xu Daming felt that many things exceeded his expectations
I remember when I met a stranger in the village who wanted to repair a truck, I didn't know anything about it, but Xu Erlong actually knew how to repair a truck?
It's the same now. Even though I'm a college student, I can't talk to these foreign guests smoothly, but Xu Erlong can actually do it?
Wen Ye listened as Xu Damin contained Xu Erlong.
Xu Damin's insinuations and tea-smelling words were incomprehensible to the foreign guests, but Wen Ye listened to them one by one.
Wen Ye has always been low-key and doesn't like to show off or steal the limelight.
