Tang Xuemei called on the phone while driving the car: "Hi, Jerry, I'm ready. Come out and wait for me."
Xiaojie did not follow and returned to her home after get off work. Only Tang Xuemei went there alone.
"OK, I woke up early, Meimei, I will come out and wait for you right away." Jerry was lying on the bed, naked except for a pair of boxer briefs.
After cleaning up briefly, Jerry lit a cigarette and got into the elevator.
What he didn't notice was that the words "No Smoking in the Elevator" were marked in the elevator, with an English translation below: NO SmOking in the elevatorOn
Although he could see it, he turned a blind eye and continued smoking alone.
After arriving outside the door and waiting for a few minutes, Tang Xuemei also drove her car to the door of the hotel.
"Jerry, have you smoked?" Tang Xuemei smelled the smell of cigarette smoke on Jerry and said, covering her nose.
Jerry, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also noticed that Tang Xuemei was holding her nose and said, "SOrry, I just had a craving for cigarettes and couldn't help but smoke one. Please forgive me."
"You don't smoke in the hotel, do you?"
"NO, I'm smoking outside."
Jerry had a guilty conscience, but he still showed a calm look and explained in the same natural way as usual. In fact, he had told lies like this so many times that he didn't even know how many times he told them. Sometimes, he would even believe it if he told so many lies. Don't talk about others.
"That's good. Smoking is not allowed in this five-star hotel built by my father."
Tang Xuemei said lightly.
"I know."
When he got home, Tang Jinhui had already cleaned the house and was sitting alone on the sofa reading a book seriously.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and someone seemed to be shouting outside: "Dad, open the door, I'm back."
Tang Jinhui put down his book, took off his glasses, and walked over to open the door unhurriedly.
As soon as I opened the door, I found a foreigner behind my daughter carrying large and small vegetables and meat.
"Dad, I'm back. This is my classmate when I was studying abroad. I told you, and you know who it is." Tang Xuemei happily introduced her to her father.
Tang Jinhui just glanced at the foreigner behind his daughter. This guy should be the Jerry her daughter mentioned.
"Come in!" Tang Jinhui was not too excited, but said calmly.
Jerry was not very happy to see Tang Jinhui, so he said hello to him: "Hello, uncle, I am Meimei's friend."
Tang Jinhui casually replied: "Hello!" Then turned around and walked back.
"Dad, my classmate is coming to my house for dinner today. I will cook later while you two are chatting on the sofa."
"Okay, okay, how can your father not like his daughter cooking?"
Tang Jinhui was extremely excited to see his daughter, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Jerry also sat next to Tang Jinhui, and the two of them were as awkward as two dumb pieces of wood.
After a while, Tang Jinhui put his book down, took off his glasses, and turned his head to look at Jerry.
In fact, from the moment he walked in until now, Tang Jinhui felt a little uncomfortable no matter how he looked at Jerry. He seemed to think there was something wrong with him, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific problem.
Having been in the shopping mall for many years, Tang Jinhui has a very thorough understanding of human nature. By observing the other person's expression, speech and behavior, he can roughly tell what kind of person the other person is.
Tang Jinhui watched for a while and asked directly in fluent English: "Why did you come to Jinling today?"
Because he knew that it was better to be direct when communicating with foreigners. Talking in roundabout ways might not make Jerry understand, and would only embarrass him.
"Uncle, I came to Jinling to see Meimei, and I plan to stay here for a while to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jinling." Seeing Tang Jinhui talking to him in English, Jerry opened his mouth in surprise and said excitedly replied.
"Yes, Jinling is the largest city in the country and ranks first in total GDP. There are all kinds of beautiful scenery around it. They are all original ecology and the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. If you have time, go and see more."
"Yes, uncle." Jerry said with a smile.
After a few simple greetings, Tang Jinhui found that when Jerry talked to him, his eyes were either avoiding him or looking away, and he was not afraid.
He found that this person seemed to have a sunny face on the surface, and was polite and gentlemanly. However, Tang Jinhui, who has learned a lot about human nature over the years, does not like the foreigner in front of him very much. His intuition tells him that there is something wrong with this person.
A man came to Jinling alone, and said he just came to see Tang Xuemei. Tang Jinhui didn't know that when his daughter was studying abroad, Tang Xuemei told him that a man named Jerry was chasing him, which made Tang Jinhui a little suspicious. .
Tang Jinhui sat silently on the sofa, leaning against the wall in a daze.
Jerry didn't speak to him, but picked up his phone and looked at it.
While the two were silent, a voice suddenly came from the kitchen. Tang Xuemei shouted loudly: "Jerry, come and help wash the vegetables."
Hearing Tang Xuemei calling him, Jerry stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Tang Jinhui stared at Jerry's back, thinking deeply.
Half an hour later, Tang Xuemei and Jerry walked out carrying plates of dishes.
The table was filled with all kinds of dishes, but without exception they were all Chinese dishes. Tang Xuemei took off her apron and said with a sense of accomplishment: "Dad, Jerry, try the dishes I cooked. "
She suddenly thought that when Jerry came to Jinling for the first time, it might be the first time he tasted Chinese food, so she asked: "Jerry, this is your first time eating Chinese food. Try it to see how it is different from Western food!"
"Wow, I'm also thinking about trying what Chinese food tastes like. Will I fall in love with it forever after eating it?"
Jerry also sat down with curiosity. Since he couldn't use chopsticks, Tang Xuemei took out a fork and a spoon from the kitchen and gave them to him.
Tang Jinhui went back to the room and got a bottle of Feitian Moutai, sat down on his seat, and then asked Jerry: "Do you want to drink?"
Jerry shook his head, made a pained face and said, "No, uncle, I don't know how to drink."
"Dad, Jerry doesn't know how to drink, so don't force him." Tang Xuemei said quickly.
"good."
Tang Jinhui didn't say anything else, he just ate by himself and let the two of them chat.
…
After dinner, Tang Xuemei was about to take Jerry back to the hotel, so she said goodbye to her father: "Dad, I'll take Jerry back to the hotel and I'll be back soon."
"Go and come back early. I have something to ask you."
After closing the door, Tang Jinhui lit a cigarette, walked to the corridor and looked at the bright lights and feasting in the distance. Jin Lingcheng was full of meaning.
Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Tianba, I need you to do something for me recently?"
After receiving a call from Tang Jinhui, Hong Tianba was so excited that he almost dropped his cigar: "Mr. Tang, it's my honor to serve you. What's the matter?"
Tang Jinhui directly ordered: "From now on, you arrange for a few people to lurk around the Jinjiang Hotel to observe a foreigner named Jerry to see what movements he has made during this period. He just came downstairs with my daughter and has not yet How long do you want to go?"
Hong Tianba readily agreed, but still had some questions and asked: "Mr. Tang, isn't that your hotel? Is this going to..."
"Just do what I tell you. Remember, you should know his whereabouts and life trajectory."
After saying that, Tang Jinhui hung up the phone.
He never expected that his daughter would be so friendly to this Jerry and not be wary of him at all. This may be the reason for Tang Xuemei's innocence! She has been cared for by Tang Jinhui since she was a child, and it can be said that there is no shortage of material and spiritual supplies.
Tang Jinhui did not object to his daughter having friends of the opposite sex, and this Jerry gave him the impression that he was hiding something secretly. He was a little worried that his daughter would be too close to him, and he was deeply afraid that his daughter would suffer misfortune in the future if she had a close relationship with Jerry. Poison Hand, after all, he only has one daughter, Tang Xuemei.
After sending Jerry to the door of the hotel, Tang Xuemei said goodbye to Jerry: "GOOdbye, Jerry."
Jerry behaved like a gentleman and said, "Bye, Meimei."
Just as Jerry opened the door, he turned around and asked, "Meimei, it's still early. Can you go up and sit down and chat with me for a while before going back?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Xuemei declined politely: "Jerry, it's getting late. Go back and rest first. I'll be busy tomorrow."
"OK"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and after saying that, Jerry strode in.
After returning home, Tang Xuemei saw her father sitting on the sofa reading a book as soon as she opened the door, and sat down next to him.
He whispered: "Dad, I'm back."
Tang Jinhui just glanced at his daughter and then looked back at the book: "Back."
"Dad, may I ask you something?"
"you say."
"Why didn't you speak during the meal just now? Is it because you don't like Jerry?"
Tang Xuemei seemed to have guessed that her father was not used to Jerry. During the meal, she told him to just focus on eating his own food and did not take the initiative to speak at all. This was not like his previous personality.
"Daughter, daddy, tell me something you don't want to hear."
"Dad, tell me!"
Tang Jinhui swallowed and said, "Jerry's father is a little worried. You should have less contact with him after he returns."
"Dad, he and I are just friends. We don't have the kind of relationship you think."
"Dad knows. He has lived for so many years and has seen so many different kinds of people. I just intuitively told him that that Jerry guy is not good. But he doesn't object to you having friends of the opposite sex. Think about it for yourself!"
"Okay, Dad is going to rest. You should go to bed early too."
After speaking, Tang Jinhui stood up and walked into his room.
Tang Xuemei was left sitting alone on the sofa.
And the other side.
When Jerry returned to the hotel, after closing the door, the smile on his face instantly changed into another face.
"Tang Xuemei, I came all the way to Jinling just to see you. I didn't expect you to not even give me a little face. Don't worry, I have all the means to make you kneel on the bed and beg me." Jerry's face was ferocious, and he shook his hand. He clenched his fist and punched the table next to him.
Jerry had no idea that there were several pairs of eyes lurking in a house opposite Jin Jiang Hotel, staring at him through the window, and recording everything on their mobile phones.
These people were the younger brothers sent by Tang Jinhui and Hong Tianba to monitor Jerry 24 hours a day. Tang Jinhui did this to see what kind of person this Jerry was.
"Master Hong, as soon as the foreigner came in, he punched the table and smashed it. Judging from his expression, he looked angry and seemed a little angry." A young man called and told Hong Tianba everything he saw. .
"Well, well done, keep following up."
Hong Tianba said with a smile.
The next day, Yang Mo came to the hotel as usual. As soon as he arrived in the lobby, he saw Lu Xiaoyu sitting there early. When the two met, they looked at each other for a while. It seemed that both sides had something to say. But no one took the step to speak.
Lu Xiaoyu suddenly thought of how Yang Mo almost choked to death yesterday, and instantly burst into laughter.
Yang Mo saw Lu Xiaoyu looking at him and laughing regardless of his own image, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face.
"Why are you laughing? There's nothing on my face." Yang Mo asked suspiciously.
"Why, you don't allow me to laugh when there's nothing on my face!" Lu Xiaoyu snorted, then laughed again.
Yang Mo shook his head and said with a look of disgust: "Oh, there is no cure. Just laugh. When you laugh enough, the disease will naturally heal."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Xiaoyu: "Damn Yang Mo, what did you say? Say it again, believe me or not..."
"Wait a minute, don't you want to know what I'm laughing at?" Lu Xiaoyu finally returned to normal and said to Yang Mo seriously.
After hearing this, Yang Mo became interested and asked: "Then what are you laughing at? Is it true that winning lottery tickets makes people crazy?"
"Fuck you, come here and I'll tell you."
Lu Xiaoyu looked around and after making sure no one was there, he quietly called Yang Mo over.
When Yang Mo put his ear in front of Lu Xiaoyu, she blocked it with one hand, put her mouth close to Yang Mo's ear, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Did you suffer internal injuries yesterday because of the foreigner's body odor? "
When Lu Xiaoyu leaned into Yang Mo's ear to speak, he couldn't help but feel as if his body was being electrocuted. He was very sensitive and his face turned red.
The two distanced themselves, and Yang Mo realized that Lu Xiaoyu was laughing because he was holding his breath and blushing yesterday because of smelling body odor.
"Hey, let me tell you, the smell of perfume, body odor, and sweat on the foreigner's body were mixed together. When he walked past me, I almost died on the spot." Yang Mo saw that Lu Xiaoyu also knew that yesterday He came close to him and talked about it.
When Lu Xiaoyu heard this, it seemed as if a force was finally about to burst out, and her voice filled the hall with laughter.
Before she could laugh for a minute, Jerry suddenly walked out of the elevator and appeared on the left side of the two of them. When Yang Mo saw Lu Xiaoyu smiling, he also noticed Jerry walking past from the corner of his eye.
Yang Mo blocked Lu Xiaoyu's mouth with his hands, looked at Jerry, and found that Jerry was also staring at him. The two of them kept looking at each other until Jerry walked out of the door.
Lu Xiaoyu saw that Yang Mo kept covering his mouth with his hand, and his shy little face began to turn rosy.
Yang Mo turned around and realized that he hadn't put his hand down yet. He quickly stopped it and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude just now."
Lu Xiaoyu bowed her head shyly and smiled: "It's okay."
"Hey, did he notice that we were laughing at him just now?" Yang Mo asked.
Lu Xiaoyu hesitated and said, "Probably not. I don't think he can speak Chinese."
A few minutes after Jerry went out, a man walked in at the door.
Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Mo were chatting when they suddenly looked up and were stunned.
Lu Xiaoyu has met this person before. He was the one who helped Yang Mo when he had dinner at Xihua Mansion last time.
Seeing that she was silent, Yang Mo looked behind him and turned his head to see what it was.
"Brother Yang, you're fine." As soon as Yang Mo turned his head, Hong Tianba spoke first.
Seeing Hong Tianba appear here, Yang Mo said in disbelief: "Brother Hong, why is it you?"
Hong Tianba chuckled: "How are you doing, brother?"
"Well, how are you? Where's Brother Hong? What's going on here today..." Yang Mo saw that Hong Tianba's visit here should be more than just walking around.
When Hong Tianba saw that Yang Mo found himself coming to see him, he couldn't help but admire this man, so he said, "Come on, let's talk while we go."
Later, Hong Tianba and Yang Mo came to a corner, and they were talking softly.
