Chapter eight hundred and thirty seventh aggressive step by step retreat
Facing the words of this stranger who brought each other closer together, Zhou Yi just smiled calmly.
"Mr. Zhou is kidding. The surname Zhou is a big Chinese surname. There are no one in Zhou and millions. If these people were all one family five hundred years ago, how big would this family be?"
"I'm just that." Smith Zhou shrugged his shoulders, and a look of self-deprecating expression appeared on his face. "I was born abroad and spent decades of spring and autumn abroad. This time I returned to China just to see what the hometown described by my ancestors was like. But I didn't expect that people like me could no longer be considered a Chinese. I can't even have the most basic greetings of Chinese people. It's really ridiculous to get up."
"People who do not experience Chinese cultural education cannot learn the implicit language and tactful way of saying things. And it is naturally difficult for us who have settled overseas to understand this linguistic art."
After raising the teacup in front of him, Zhou Yi suddenly changed his topic.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, haven't asked you where you are from?"
"Me?" Hearing this sudden question, Smith Zhou smiled and responded. "I am from Los Angeles, and I am considered the third generation of American immigrants. When I was young, I joined the American paratroopers and then left such a disease. Later, I simply immigrated to France and settled there. It was where I met Alexia."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi took a look at Alexia from Smith. He had to be a very typical blonde beauty with a polite manner and elegant expression. He knew at a glance that she was a woman born with a higher education and even a nobleman. Of course, the most important thing is that she looked less than thirty years old, and compared with Smith, who was almost over fifty years old, this woman seemed too old.
You can see the gap between about twenty years old at a glance, a typical example of an old cow eating tender grass. It is no wonder that so many people showed that strange look to them before. After all, for most single dogs, this is the most disgusting behavior. The good cabbage has been slaughtered, so that they can't even eat leaves of vegetables, which is a very serious crime.
However, Zhou Yi's idea is different from these single dogs. You know, he is gloriously standing in the ranks of life winners. Although he only has one by himself, in his family, there are four or five devoted women waiting for him. If this comes out, it will be enough to make these single dogs have the urge to burn him to death. Therefore, a life winner like him will not have any jealousy towards Smith at all. On the contrary, he has the simplest appreciation.
"This sister is very beautiful, Mr. Zhou, you are lucky."
"I have been praised. Sometimes I feel that the luckiest thing I have encountered Alexia."
In front of Zhou Yi, he pinched the hand of the woman named Alexia without any pretentiousness. Smith's face once again showed a gentle smile. "By the way, I haven't asked you, Mr. Zhou, where are you from?"
"I lived on the West Coast for a while and then basically settled in New York. Since the incident in New York, I have made the same choice as most New Yorkers and settled in Huiyao City. Just so happens that I have free time recently, so I took my wife and children back to mainland China to have a look."
Describing himself like an ordinary white-collar worker with spare money, Zhou Yi just started to be careless in front of Smith. When he heard his answer, Smith just smiled and began to talk about irrelevant things.
"Is that so? Then this is really a pretty good decision. You know, in recent decades, China's development has been a leap process. Sometimes I wonder if moving home here will be a clearer decision."
"Maybe, after all, the world's economic center is moving here. It's better to make a decision earlier than you will regret it later."
"That's the same. And no matter what, China is also the hometown of us Chinese. Looking at the scenery here and the people here, there will always be a feeling of wanting people to return to their roots. Our ancestors have been thinking about such a day. Maybe in my hands, their dreams are time to come true."
"So, you have decided to return to China to develop." Zhou Yi looked at Smith in front of him in surprise, and said bluntly. "I thought that three or four generations of immigrants like you and me had given up on this idea."
Faced with Zhou Yi's method, Smith smiled, and a look of vicissitudes suddenly appeared on his face.
"You will know when you are so old as me. At this time, relatives and memories are the most important thing. Loneliness will make you desperately look for everything that can comfort your soul. Only in this way can you feel a little better."
"I have been doing nothing in my life. I am so old, but I don't even have a child. If I hadn't met Alexia, I might still be alone and helpless. So from that time on, I was thinking about taking her to find a place where I could rest in peace. And here, the hometown of my ancestors, is undoubtedly the best choice."
"This would be a good choice. It would be a good choice for a man like you."
After watching Smith quietly for a while, Zhou Yi said to him as if he was stressing. When he heard his words, Smith's face froze, and then he returned to his calm and elegant appearance.
"You have to be right, and I think this will be my most correct decision. Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this gentleman and this lady?"
"My son Zhou Yu, and my wife Qin Ge Lei."
"A very cute child. Zhou Yu, if I remember correctly, it should be the feather fan and the scarf. Zhou Gongjin was wiped out in ashes while chatting and laughing. This is indeed a good name."
Silently exclaimed, Smith Zhou looked at the guy who didn't care about the conversation of a few adults and was only caring about his own happiness. A different look appeared in his eyes.
"If possible, can I take a photo with this child? Really, I really like this cute child. If I had a child, his child should be that old now."
As soon as such words came out, people couldn't help but think of his sadness for his life, and they inevitably felt a little sympathy for him. But all this did not work for Zhou Yi. He just looked at Smith in front of him, stared at him for a moment before saying to him.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhou. My child doesn't like being photographed, so I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't satisfy your wish."
Such behavior is a bit inhumane, but Zhou Yi shows his inhumane thoughts. He has already seen something, so he doesn't mind revealing some of his thoughts from his actions.
As a smart man, Smith naturally understood what he meant. So a look of regret suddenly appeared on his face, but he still suppressed the disappointment in his heart and showed a gentle smile to Yan.
"Since that's the case, I won't force it."
"This is the best!" Looking at Zhou Yu who had already eaten and drunk enough, and the increasingly silent atmosphere between them, Zhou Yi stood up and said to Smith. "I'm very happy to know you, Mr. Smith. But I think this brief meeting is time to end. If possible, I hope this is our last meeting. Do you understand what I mean?"
Such sudden words not only made Smith look surprised, but even Qin showed an incomprehensible look. But soon, Smith reacted and then put a bitter smile on his face.
"I understand, I understand. I know very well what you mean. Mr. Zhou Yi, I will do it, please rest assured."
"I mean not just me, but some other people. Including them, you don't want to contact them, never. Do you understand what I mean?"
Almost a little aggressive, Zhou Yi once again emphasized to Smith. Faced with his aggressiveness, Smith was always giving in step by step.
"I understand what you mean, and I can assure you that I won't do that. I definitely won't!"
"I hope you remember what you said today."
Squinted his eyes and stared at Smith for a while. Zhou Yi turned his gaze to Qin.
"Dear. I think we should leave now. Where are you?"
"certainly!"
Qin naturally could not go against her intentions for Zhou Yi's obvious sign. She pulled up her child and inserted her hand into Zhou Yi's arms. From beginning to end, she did not comment on their conversation. This means that she silently supports Zhou Yi.
And just like this, Zhou Yi and his wife and children slowly disappeared from his sight. Like Qin, Alexia, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but feel in her heart and said indignantly to Smith.
"How could he talk to you like this? Don't he know your identity?"
"No, Alexia. Of course he knows that he is smarter than you think. But it is because of knowing this that he would say that to me."
Holding Alexia's hand, Smith, who had been smiling, gradually faded away.
