Section 111 Solving Troubles in Ridiculous Ways [I]
When Qin Lang and Rachel figured out what was going on, they did have a feeling of crying and laughing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Why did Yi Shui's father clash with Elizabeth's father? Everything seems simple: Henry Daubers is wandering in the hallway and collides with Yi Anping, who is also wandering in the hallway. This is a common dispute, but for them, it is a precursor to a fierce conflict.
First of all, they simply have no way to communicate.
Secondly, they are all very bad, and their chests are full of anger - Daubers and Yi Anping have almost the same fate, coming from their own country to the United States to look for their children, only to find that they have done something against their will. Unfortunately, they were also arrested by the police, humiliated, and beaten up.
No matter who this kind of thing happens to, he will not be in a good mood. So Daubers and Yi Anping are like two vats full of gunpowder, and any spark is enough to cause a violent explosion.
Finally, a sufficient but not particularly important underlying factor, like many Westerners, Henry Daubers despised Chinese and considered Chinese uncivilized barbarians, while Yi Anping, like many Chinese, had a deep contempt for the "foreigners".
All the elements of conflict are in place, and what is lacking is only the spark that causes conflict. Now they had a little dispute, which was no different from a lit, "hissing" fuse, and the explosion happened as a matter of course.
Of course, it was Mr. Daubers who first instigated the dispute. He was already quite annoyed that Yi Anping's son seduced and pestered his daughter—he regarded Qin Lang as Yi Anping's son, and in his opinion, all Chinese looked the same—so he did not hesitate to punch the nasty yellow man in front of him.
Yi Anping naturally slapped him back.
In fact, if it were in China, he might not have the courage to fight back. Although he despised all "foreign yi", these blonde and blue-eyed monsters were the objects of fear of the government lords after all, and considering the various adverse effects that a dispute with them might bring, Yi Anping was more willing to swallow his anger.
But now he was in the United States, and he had seen Yi Shui snorting at a group of American thugs. As a businessman approaching the age of fifty and with a wealth of social experience, he certainly knew what that meant. Although he couldn't accept Yi Shui's rebellious move of running away from home and cutting off his braids, Yi Anping still regarded his son's power as his own strength.
With such a powerful son backing him, why should he be afraid of a Western monkey jumping up and down?
So he immediately slapped Daubers in the face. Of course, this is the end of the matter, the two hysterical fathers were separated by the people who arrived quickly, and then Qin Lang and Rachel also rushed to the second floor.
After Qin Lang used the tools of violence, the two angry powder kegs quickly turned into two deflated balls, and after a few quiet seconds, they began to complain to their relatives and spit out everything that had just happened like a bamboo tube pouring beans - and, of course, there is no doubt about it, Daubers and Yi Anping both emphasized that it was not themselves who provoked the incident.
Qin Lang looked at them with tears and laughter, and finally said to Rachel, "We have to let them go back to their rooms, I don't want William Mather to see the joke." ”
"I couldn't agree more, Qin." Rachel nodded, turning to her cousin, "Elizabeth, send uncle back to the room, Mr. Mather of the Cleveland Consortium is coming to us for dinner tonight." ”
She made a point of mentioning the Cleveland Consortium and made an emphasis in an accentuated tone. Naturally, if her uncle, who was keen on high society, had known anything about the Cleveland Consortium, he would have quickly returned to his room, redressed his monkey face, and dressed himself in the best suit.
He will do that, and he is already doing that. The moment he heard "The Cleveland Consortium," Henry Daubers was already walking to his room.
Behind him, Rachel smiled contemptuously and walked over to Yi Shui. "Need help?"
He shook his head. "Thanks, Rachel. But I can ...... myself."
As Yi Shui spoke, Yi Anping had strode into his room, but he still looked angry—at least the loud "bang" he made when he closed the door spoke for itself. Yi Shui made an apologetic gesture to Rachel and rushed into the room as well.
Then Qin Lang heard him screaming. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"What else can I do, of course, I pack up my things and go back to Sichuan." Yi Anping replied loudly. Then the father and son were caught in a heated argument.
"What are they talking about, Qin?" Both Rachel and Duncan want to know.
"Yi Shui's father asked him to go back to China with him," Qin Lang slowly explained while listening carefully to the arguments in the room, "He wants to take Yi Shui back to China to get married...... He has already found a fiancée for Yi Shui. Of course, Yi Shui would definitely not agree to his father's request, after all, he had never even seen the face of his fiancée. ”
Tie the knot? Fiancee? Duncan pouted. "There also seems to be a young lady over there who is going back to London to marry a fiancé whom she has not met......"
"Shut up, Duncan!" Rachel glared at him fiercely and continued to ask, "Can Yi Shui convince his father?" ”
"I don't think that's likely." Qin Lang shrugged, "But ......" he looked at her and looked at her carefully for a while, "I have a convincing reason. Follow me, Rachel. ”
Before she could answer, he had taken his hand and walked towards Yi Anping's room, and walked in after simply knocking on the door without getting permission. "Sorry to interrupt." He said loudly, and the room quickly fell silent, "I just heard that Yi Shui is going back to China to get married?" ”
"That's right." Yi Anping nodded resolutely, while Yi Shui let out a brief protest: "Dad! ”
Qin Lang laughed and quietly gave Yi Shui a hint. "Mr. Yi, I have to say, this is absolutely impossible. Yi Shui can't go back to China to get married. ”
"What are you?" The attitude is very clear: what qualifications do you have to interfere in the Yi family's housework?
"Because Yi Shui is already engaged to this Miss McBride." Qin Lang pointed at Rachel and said to Yi Anping very seriously, and his voice was full of threats, "According to American law, he can't marry or engage a second woman, otherwise the police have the right to prosecute him." ”
"W-" Yi Shui almost choked on his own saliva. Engaged to Rachel? Even if her purpose with Qin Lang was to solve the problem at hand for him, it was still too ridiculous: when did they get engaged? Oh, my God...... Can such a serious thing be talked about casually?
He was embarrassed, really embarrassed.
"Joke," Yi Anping didn't notice his son's reaction, his attention was completely focused on Qin Lang and Rachel, and he was still sneering at them, "Why do Western officials take care of our Chinese's household affairs?" ”
Qin Lang shrugged. "Miss McBride can protest to the Prime Minister's Yamen through the U.S. government and ask the imperial court to hand over the water." He blinked, "Mr. Yi, I don't think you have the ability to fight against the imperial court. And, if Yi Shui's marriage problem is raised to the level of a diplomatic issue, I think someone may lose their heads. ”
Yes, the imperial court. Yi Anping doesn't care about the U.S. government, the police, or the law, but as a Chinese, he has no reason not to fear them. He hesitated. "She can really raise it to the imperial court...... Protest? ”
"Miss McBride has some friends in the U.S. government who are happy to serve her. Anyway, it's just a trifle. ”
Scare always works, especially against a normal person who is not so brutal and who doesn't know your hole cards. Yi Anping quickly deflated. Yet the anger in his breast was strong. After a moment of silence, he turned to Yi Shui. "Are you really engaged to that foreign woman?"
"Yes, Dad." Yi Shui could only answer like this, otherwise Qin Lang and Rachel would definitely make him look good, "I'm already engaged to Rachel." ”
"Bastard thing!" Anger finally erupted. However, the hand was raised, and it froze in the air for a while, but then it fell down again - Yi Anping still remembered what happened in the Los Angeles Immigration Department detention center, and there were some shadows in his psyche. He had a son whom he could not teach. Yi Anping was silent, and could only let his anger burn himself.
He remained silent and motionless. For a moment, Qin Lang thought that he had been hit too badly, and began to think about whether he should call a doctor to be on standby at home. But soon, Yi Anping waved his hand weakly.
"Get out, you all get out." His voice was also weak, "I'm going to be alone for a while." ”
Qin Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's get out." He made a gesture and exited the room with Rachel and Yi Shui. Since Yi Anping needs to think quietly about some issues, he will let him think quietly. And they still have something to do: arrange dinner today.
Now, one issue has been dealt with, and only another question remains. This will be resolved at dinner.
