Only now did Stephen know why Situ Yulin was snickering on the phone. This kind of banquet would never come on a whim. Maybe she had already arrived in Seattle when she called. Seeing the two of them surrounded by so many Many people were courting the two of them, so Stephen turned around and prepared to leave first.

"Stephen, you are heartless, you want to run when you see me." Stephen had just turned around, and before he could take a step, Situ Yulin's voice came from behind him, so Stephen had to stop and turn around again. Turning his head, facing several pairs of hostile eyes, he said to Situ Yulin with a smile on his face, "So it's Miss Situ, sorry, I didn't see it."

Although Stephen seldom experienced such things, he also knew that in a situation like two flowers surrounded by several flower protectors, his appearance was likely to be hostile by everyone, especially if the two flowers were of the kind The strong family background is especially moving, and the hatred value is even more.

Especially when Situ Yulin shouted so ambiguously, as if the relationship between the two people had been there before, it increased the possibility. You can tell by looking at the eyes next to the two people, most of them are undisguised. Looking at him with hostile eyes, there were only two people who were not as obvious as that, but they were full of vigilance, vaguely surrounding Mo Xueru, and they seemed to be Mo Xueru's suitors.

"I just talked on the phone tomorrow morning. What are you doing with your identity? Who are you pretending to be for?" She has an unbearable passionate pursuit. These guys who have never seen the world really think that they can attract girls by opening their tails like a peacock.Two, it made Stephen's life not so easy. This guy is really dishonest. He arrived in Seattle, and instead of saying that he would do his best to be a master, he turned around and wanted to leave. Third, he just wanted to see Mo Xueru's reaction to this.

"Hehe..." Stephen had no choice but to touch his nose and dryly laughed twice. Seeing Stephen's blunt reaction, he was not at all as free and easy as a child from a family should be. Even such a simple question seemed so embarrassing. Behind Situ Yulin These people immediately felt relieved, thinking that the two should have nothing to do with each other, and their hostility towards Stephen was much less, but their eyes were still full of vigilance and precaution.

They are all the children of high-level local Chinese associations in Seattle. For them, Situ Yulin, the daughter of a Hongmen tycoon, a wealthy and powerful family, and a noble person is like a princess, who can come to Seattle to participate in today's event The dinner party is really a very rare situation. Although they feel that the hope is not very good, they feel that they want to impress each other with their personal charm.

What's more, in addition to his family background, Situ Yulin is definitely a beauty worth pursuing. As for Mo Xueru next to her, although she is not inferior to Situ Yulin in beauty, when they hear that she was born in China, these people are right. She lost interest. If Situ Yulin wasn't around, it would be okay to pursue her just for fun. With Zhuyu in front, she would be able to take care of her.

Most of these people are third- or fourth-generation Chinese, and they lived in the United States from birth to growth. Naturally, they feel the strength of the United States. In addition, they are not in charge of any business, and they are in the second-tier city of Seattle. The contact with the country is not particularly close, and I don't know much about the rapid changes in the country. I have developed the habit of sitting in the well and watching the sky. I still feel that people from the country come here to enjoy the autumn breeze, so naturally I don't like Mo Xueru. He paid attention to it, but he didn't notice Situ Yulin's respect for Mo Xueru. He thought it was because they were all female.

But the two around Mo Xueru, one is the son of the consul of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco, and the other just came out of China recently. They are very clear about Mo Xueru's background, so they naturally know what kind of situation Mo Xueru's father is in now. The status is no longer just a high-level leader, but has become a national leader.

Of course, to these children of third-rate families in the United States, the national leaders of China are like the kings of a small foreign country to them, and the politicians here are not so high, even to the president of the country, they have nothing to do with it. What respect, let alone the children of a foreign country's dignitaries.

"I know you. What's your name? You're a player." Standing next to Situ Yulin at this time, a guy wearing Armani casual clothes, fair skin, and a slightly hooked nose pointed at Stephen. He didn't know who he was. Whether it was intentional or I really don't know, as a Seattle native, I don't even know Stephen's name.

"He's a big star, are you a quarterback or a running back?" A slightly dark-skinned guy next to him who looked like a bit of mixed race joked, and the others immediately laughed. Stephen didn't respond as if he didn't hear the provocation.

Such a family member who has not or has not shown any ability and relies on the family's lingering skills is not worthy of respect in the entire mainstream society, and like Paris Hilton, no matter how extravagant his behavior is. Unruly, at least she has her own pursuit, and no one despises her.

In the mainstream culture of the United States, especially the young people of Stephen’s age, they all admire successful people like Jobs, Bill Gates, and Zuckerberg who rely on innovation to start from scratch, and rely on their own hard work to win success. Although it is said that it is becoming more and more divorced from the real economy, at least it is relying on itself, not the family.

They look down on careers like Stephen who rely on hard work to survive, and Stephen also looks down on bastards like them who count on the cuteness of their family. , A young man standing behind him gave him a hand.

"Cousin, what are you pulling me for? Why don't you let me teach that guy a lesson? A basketball player dares to show face at us. He doesn't want to be in Seattle anymore." The others walked forward, and the two guys stayed.

"He was specially invited by Consul Hong and our father. The invitation letter was written by your father himself. Although I don't know what is important about a basketball player, it's better not to make them angry. If you want to be angry, Find another way." This guy looked more stable, and he was a year or two older than the other young people. Hearing his words, the fair-skinned, hook-nosed guy temporarily suppressed his anger.

Stephen recklessly walked in the middle, and Situ Yulin and Mo Xueru naturally walked beside him, one left and one right, so that the others had no choice but to walk behind them and look over from a distance, It's like Stephen and Shuangmei are traveling together with a group of attendants.

Such a large group of people walking together immediately attracted the attention of the welcoming guests, and immediately reported to the chief behind. After seeing that it was Stephen, several people immediately came out to greet him. This is a courtyard with two entrances, and the front is Western style, later became a complete Chinese style.

A few people in suits and leather shoes stood outside the flower-corner round arch, how uncoordinated they looked, seeing their parents coming out to meet this guy they looked down upon, these young people involuntarily slowed down, only Stephen led Situ Yu Lin and Mo Xueru walked over.

"This is Brother Shi. I am Hong Tianpei. I am very grateful that Brother Shi was able to attend this banquet in his busy schedule." Standing at the front was a man in his 40s wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The person who looked handsome and fit the image of the diplomatic mission took a step forward and came to Stephen, introducing himself while extending his hand.

His name was on the invitation letter, so Stephen naturally knew that this was not the consul of the Consulate General in San Francisco. Seeing that the other party was so humble and polite, Stephen was not an arrogant person, and the other party was also quite old, so Stephen naturally wanted to be more humble and polite : "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, when the elders call, the boy will naturally come."

Stephen naturally didn't know that Hong Tianpei didn't intend to adopt such an attitude at the beginning. Although he shouldered the mission from the country, he didn't think it was a big deal, and at Stephen's age, he didn't deserve such a serious treatment. , but when he saw Mo Xueru beside Stephen, and saw that Mo Xueru kept his eyes on Stephen even though his head was half down, he immediately thought of a possibility. , Need to use diplomats like myself.

Then Hong Tianpei introduced to Stephen the people standing behind him, most of them were leaders of local Chinese organizations in Seattle, and they were of different ages, but the youngest was about the same age as Hong Tianpei. Stephen was naturally polite and humble But not humble, this is Shi Xianghua's words and deeds.

"Brother Shi has an elder who is a well-known barrister in Los Angeles and a celebrity in the Chinese community in Los Angeles. This is also a family background." Seeing Stephen's performance is not at all like a basketball player, but like a white-collar worker , some people immediately became suspicious, Hong Tianpei immediately explained without waiting for them to ask questions.

Stephen smiled, but frowned involuntarily. Although San Francisco and Los Angeles are on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, Los Angeles has its own Chinese consulate. A consul of the consulate in San Francisco knows him so well. Could it be that there is something wrong? More than just an ordinary dinner party?Stephen immediately suspected the purpose of today's banquet.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk. The banquet is about to start. If Brother Shi wants to stay with young people, he can go with them. He probably has nothing to say to us old people." After Situ Yulin and Mo Xueru exchanged a few words, other people and young people also followed. At this time, another guest arrived, and an old man asked Stephen to go with these young people.

"Let's have a private chat after the banquet." Hong Tianpei stretched out his hand again, and suddenly whispered something to Stephen while shaking hands, and Stephen nodded. As expected, if it was all right, he would not have invited him.
