Chapter 57: A toad wants to eat swan meat

Zhou Ming led Chen Yexu, Li Yang and the others into Brighton Airport. Li Yang said happily to Zhou Ming, 'Teacher, what you just did was really great! That Robert guy never would have dreamed that we would just tow his car out, letting him be so arrogant and acting like he was the best. Teacher, this is so satisfying!'

Compared to Li Yang's excitement, Ye Ning was a little worried: 'Teacher, what Robert just did was really annoying, but he said he was from the Adams family, is it okay for us to do this?'

Zhou Ming said before Li Yang could reply, 'Ye Ning, you worry too much. He said he was from the Adams family, but is he really? We all know that the Adams family is an ancient family of wealthy businessmen. Such families are all very calm, where would they act like him? In my opinion, he is probably just using the name of the Adams family to swindle people.'

Ye Ning ignored Li Yang's answer and just looked at Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming smiled and rubbed her little head, saying, 'This time I agree with Li Yang's answer. The reason why aristocrats can be called aristocrats is because they have their own substance, and they don't go around talking about the Adams name all day long, as if they are afraid that other people don't know. To be honest, the performance of that Mr. Robert just now was too much like that of a bastard trying to prove his identity.'

'Of course, it is not impossible that he really is an exception, but even if he is, what can he do to us? We don't have to be afraid of him, do you think he will tow our car again? Besides, we are only here to meet Lin Muqing and will be leaving soon, so it will be too late for him to do anything, so we don't have to be afraid of him at all,' Zhou Ming said.

Having received Zhou Ming's answer, Ye Ning let out a sigh of relief and put her heart back into her stomach.

The few people walked into the airport. Since this was a private airport that served as a military airport, there was no such facility as an exit channel here, so you would go directly from the parking lot to the tarmac to wait.

When Zhou Ming led Chen Shu and the others past the terminal building to the tarmac, there were already a lot of people waiting here. Although they were wearing different clothes and had different skin tones and ethnicities, they were all holding flowers and banners, obviously sincerely welcoming Lin Muqing's arrival.

'There are actually so many people here. This is a military airport. Although private aircraft are allowed to take off and land, the qualifications of those who enter are strictly controlled. Even the teacher obtained the qualification through the joint guarantee of Tang Dynasty Bank and Deep Blue Airlines. It can be seen that the people who can enter are also of considerable status.' Chen Shu said in surprise, 'I think the people over there are not ordinary people. They should all be the leading figures of a company.'

'Of course. I've said that Lin Muqing is very influential here in the United States. Whenever someone mentions an expert in financial investment from the East, it's Lin Muqing.' Ye Ning said proudly, and looked at Li Yang provocatively. Li Yang could only shrug his shoulders uselessly.

Zhou Ming did not participate in the discussion between the three students. He did not believe that all those people over there were fans like Ye Ning, and he was afraid that there were more business partners over there. However, it was already a very remarkable thing that so many people made a special trip to the airport to pick them up. Zhou Ming was very happy for his sister Muqing to have achieved such results.

Since he arrived late, Zhou Ming was not interested in showing off, so he had to stand at the end of the crowd. After all, the plane had not yet arrived, right?

After another ten minutes or so, as the terminal's public address system sounded, a jet plane appeared in the sky not far away. The crowd cheered, because there were not many planes that could take off and land at Brighton Airport. Obviously, that was the private jet that Lin Muqing was on.

At this time, a roar of car engines came from behind the crowd, and everyone looked back to see a sports car driving straight onto the tarmac.

This surprised everyone, because according to Brighton Airport regulations, cars are not allowed to drive onto the tarmac. What's going on? As for Zhou Ming and the others, they were even more surprised, because they all recognised the car. It was the car that Robert had been driving before.

No way? Could it be that the worst and most ridiculous plot had appeared, and that guy was really from the Addams Family?

As if to prove Zhou Ming and their guesses, the sports car parked in front of the crowd, and Robert walked down the car very cool, facing everyone and said, 'I'm sorry everyone, I actually don't want to be so high-profile, but there is no space in the parking lot, and the last space was also occupied by a few gangsters, so I had to drive in. I'm sorry to bother everyone. My name is Robert, Robert Adams. Nice to meet you.'

He was that Robert, and as before, when introducing himself, he deliberately pointed out his status as a member of the Adams family.

As Robert introduced himself, someone in the crowd soon recognised him and said, 'He is the young master of the Adams family. I had the honour of meeting him once at a company board meeting. I think if it is Robert, then his behaviour can be forgiven. After all, the Adams family is the pride of Brighton and the pride of the United States!'

Someone started it, and others echoed that it was forgivable and that they were also very happy to meet someone from the Adams family.

This was a bit of a surprise to Zhou Ming and the others. They had thought that this Robert would be like the previous Fenway District Judge, just an insignificant member of the Adams family.

And he is really an oddity in the aristocratic circles. He actually drove directly in after failing to grab a parking space.

'He seems to be very concerned about face. Teacher, do you think he will remember the previous grudges and deliberately come to find fault with us?' Ye Ning asked with some concern.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said he didn't know either, because Robert's thoughts were a bit childish.

Facing a group of people praising him, Robert said that he was very touched. Not far away, the plane slowly landed on the runway of the airport. As the noise from the plane subsided, Robert said to everyone, 'Everyone is here today to welcome Ms. Lin Muqing. We all know that Ms. Lin Muqing is a very remarkable person. She left Red China and in just a few years, she has made achievements in the Hong Kong-City Joint Investment Fund. This is respectable.'

Robert suddenly changed the subject and continued, 'However, some people do not know how to show this respect. Before I came into the airport today, I heard a very ridiculous claim. Someone told me that Lin Mucheng admires him very much, to the point of wanting to sleep with him. This time, she was able to come to Brighton because of him. None of the people here have anything to do with it.'

Everyone who came here to greet Lin Mucheng today at least respects her very much. After hearing Robert say this, everyone immediately became indignant.

'Who actually dared to say that? This is really shameless, this kind of behaviour is an insult to Ms. Lin Muqing, this kind of person should be thrown into Bermuda, he should be glad that this is not 300 years ago, otherwise he would definitely be burned to death!'

Everyone spoke out in turn, condemning him. Finally, Robert pointed his finger at Zhou Ming and said, 'This shameless person is right there, at the end of the line.'

Everyone looked in the direction Robert was pointing, and they all saw Zhou Ming and the others. Instantly, these people showed disgusted expressions: 'Oh, the Chinese, they are always the most disgusting and shameless bunch of people. They have no manners at all, and they are all big talkers and scoundrels and liars! They think that because Ms. Lin Muqing is Chinese and they are Chinese, they can behave recklessly. This is really a stupid idea. Ms. Lin Muqing is at least 180 levels above them. It's like a toad trying to eat a swan. To call them toads is an insult to toads!

There were many Chinese in the crowd, and they were also saying, 'They must have come from Red China, because only there is still a place of uncivilised savagery, a kingdom of demons. At least people with a higher education in the United States are not like them!'

Faced with this barrage of abuse, Li Yang, who could not hold his tongue any longer, immediately retorted, 'This is slander! We have not said these things, and we all have great respect for Ms. Lin Muqing. We are here to welcome her today as well. This is all a deliberate frame-up by that guy Robert!'

However, Li Yang's words not only failed to turn the situation around, but instead attracted a chorus of boos: 'Look! This is the quality of the Chinese people. They are all cowards with no courage. They talk with arrogance, but when it comes to taking responsibility, they shrink back like turtles one after the other. Now they are still denying it. Does Adams, such a big family, still deliberately frame you? Don't even think about your status. It's really disgusting!'

'Please believe us, we are indeed friends with Ms Lin Muqing, but we have never said anything to slander her!' Chen Shu also stood up to explain, but his explanation only earned more boos and ridicule.

This made Ye Ning feel very aggrieved: 'Teacher, why is this happening, why don't they believe us?'

Zhou Ming was also very helpless, but in fact, from the time Robert deliberately appeared in front of them in a high-profile manner, Zhou Ming had already thought about the possible outcome. Zhou Ming didn't have time to explore how he had formed such a personality in such a family environment, but he could understand that a childish character like his would definitely not let go and would definitely want to take revenge on them. The only difference was the means of revenge.

'If you don't believe it, just don't believe it. We said it, so let's not explain it,'

Zhou Ming said to Ye Ning, and then stepped forward and said, 'Your ridicule and abuse also shows that even if you are Americans, your quality is just like that, at least as trashy as us.'

'On another note,' Zhou Ming turned his words to Robert, 'Just now Mr. Robert said that we are friends with Ms. Lin Muqing, and that she came to the United States because of me. I would like to say that yes, that is the case. Your abuse is just because you are jealous! A toad wants to eat swan meat, not to mention that I am not even a toad, on the contrary, it seems that you are.'

Zhou Ming's words made everyone scold again: 'You say we are jealous of you? This is the most ridiculous joke in the world. You are just a Chinese bragger. Why are you on the same level as us? We are 180 levels higher than you! You can only be worse than a toad. What Ms. Lin Muqing came to Brighton because of you is something only a liar and an idiot would say. You must be an idiot!'

As he listened to these insults against Zhou Ming, Robert laughed with a broad smile on his face: these Chinese people are really stupid. If you make things difficult for me, I will 'thank' you!

Chen Shu and Ye Ning Li Yang over here were also shocked by Zhou Ming's words. They completely didn't understand why Zhou Ming had said that. Instead of pouring oil on the fire and angering those people, weren't his words making Robert very happy?

Zhou Ming, however, did not have any intention of changing his attitude. He simply said, 'If you want to keep on scolding me, that's fine. It's your freedom. But Ms. Lin Muqing's plane has already been parked, and she is about to get off. Do you want to greet her with your scolding? Is this your respect? If that's the case, then I can only say "heh heh" to you.'

As Zhou Ming said these words, everyone turned around and saw that Lin Muqing's plane had stopped in front of them at some point, and the cabin door had already opened, and Lin Muqing was about to get out at any time.
