Chapter 348 Sure enough, this family is not a good family
With the brothers' inexplicable but obedient cooperation and hard work, a table full of what Esposito called "traditional Italian home-cooked dishes that have been passed down for centuries" was ready.
Although they weren't quite sure whether the food they made themselves under Grandma Leta's completely impatient nagging instructions was Italian or Chinese.
To be honest, when they came here, they thought they would encounter some famous mafia scene from movies and TV shows, with a bunch of people in suits standing in a row as a front. However, until now, apart from the fact that Grandma Leta was too familiar with everyone and was not polite at all, treating them as family, Dalin and Zhao Hao could not find any strange thing that made the mafia different from ordinary people.
Even though Esposito had excitedly explained to them the glorious deeds of Godmother Nora Vinic from the time she took over to the present day after Yu Yu was called away - of course, those deeds were beautified or mosaiced so that they could be broadcast - they still found it hard to believe that this was a gang's lair and that the straightforward and fierce old lady was the gang boss.
Before dinner started, the doorbell rang.
Land Rover, who was closest to the door, wanted to help open the door, but Esposito stopped him and told him, as a guest, to rest in the living room and he could do this small thing.
Lu Hu realized belatedly that this was a mafia gathering place. Perhaps the person outside the door was an operator returning from a mission. He whispered to Yu Yu, "If I had opened the door by mistake just now, and the big brother outside saw me and thought I was sent by a rival gang, would I have been accidentally..."
Yu Yu praised Lu Hu's rich imagination, but at the same time, he felt that Lu Hu's perception of him was a little distorted: "Brother Hu, do you think you look like a threat to them?"
"How could I be a threat? I'm a decent citizen who poses no threat to society."
"That's all, what you watch are TV dramas, not documentaries." Yu Yu patted his shoulder and told him to relax. The mysterious and dangerous mafia was just a lie to fool children. They are now harmless citizens...
On the other side, Esposito walked forward and opened the door. Two women and one man were standing outside.
"Who's that, Percy?" asked Grandma Leta.
"Same-city express, MAMA," Esposito said.
"Oh, delivery guy, do you want to stay for a quick meal?"
"You are very kind, Mrs. Noravinitch. It's a pity that I don't have the honor of having dinner with you. I will definitely invite you out for a drink next time I have the chance."
This time it was the delivery guy who responded. Standing in the doorway, he saw the people in the living room and immediately lowered his hands, which had been casually resting on the shoulders of the two female guests on his left and right, and politely greeted everyone.
"Why did you bring two girls with you?" Esposito cursed in Italian.
"I'm not God. How would I know you'd call me at the last minute? I was just about to go out to the nightclub for an all-nighter." The man rolled his eyes and said, "Here, the keys to the three cars. They're parked outside. I'll do as you say."
After saying this, he patted Esposito on the shoulder, seemingly because he noticed that except for one lady, Grandma Leta, the rest of the guests at the dinner were all men. "Tsk, Mr. Esposito, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the arrangements you made for the guests are not at all authentic. How can you truly demonstrate the hospitality of Noravinich?"
"We have gender equality now, so how can you still be a bunch of grown men accompanying the old lady at a party? The old lady will probably get tired of looking at a bunch of grown men like you all the time. How about I find you some young and beautiful girls to balance things out?"
The guys who were helping to serve the dishes and set the tableware in the living room couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw the man suddenly pull Esposito to talk and laugh in Italian, and occasionally glance at them and point at them.
"What are they chattering about?" Zhang Yuan looked at Yu Yu in confusion.
By chance, the man pointed at Zhang Yuan and said, "I happen to know a girl who likes Chinese men with small eyes. She thinks they have a unique charm."
Yu Yu looked at Zhang Yuan and translated seriously, "He said he really likes Chinese men with small eyes like you. He thinks you have a unique charm."
“???” Zhang Yuan took three steps back and grabbed Lu Hu’s clothes with a look of horror on his face.
"Don't worry, he's not targeting you. He just thought Sheng Ge and Liang Ge were still charming."
Yu Yu said seriously, of course, what people originally said was that people like Chen Fusheng and Wang Zhengliang are not young in themselves, but because of their racial advantages, they look younger than their actual age in the eyes of Europeans. Their charm that combines maturity and youth is also very popular in the eyes of these girls.
"Huh? Still charming? Me and Brother Liang?!" Chen Fusheng frowned in disbelief, so much so that shark marks appeared on his face again.
“Isn’t the atmosphere here so free???” Wang Zhengliang didn’t understand but was greatly shocked.
"Hahahahahaha!" Su Xing and Wang Yuexin couldn't help laughing so hard that they fell over. As early as when Yu Yu was talking nonsense to Zhang Yuan in a serious manner, they knew that Yu Yu was making trouble again. Although they couldn't understand the original meaning of the words, they were sure that it was not what Yu Yu said.
The man didn't understand the Chinese language, but he could see that Yu Yu was explaining something to them. He didn't know Yu Yu's identity, he just thought she was the translator they hired.
"What did he say? Don't mistranslate it. Why do some of them look so happy while others look so terrified... Oh, I get it. Not only beautiful women, but also some handsome men, right?"
Esposito, who could barely understand a few words of Chinese, gave him a meaningful look and patted his head with great concern.
"It's okay, you don't have to look for anyone, you don't have to bother with it, just take these two ladies out to play."
"Okay, if you change your mind, call me." Faced with Esposito's order to leave, the man made a phone gesture to the old Beibeis and obediently left with his arms around the two beauties.
However, this scene had a different meaning in the eyes of the brothers. Su Xing looked at Zhang Yuan with a malicious look: "Is he trying to get someone with a unique style to have a private contact with him?"
"? Why didn't you say that he wanted to find those two who still had charm!" Zhang Yuan glared at Su Xing fiercely.
Whether it was the boy who went to dance with the girls or the old northerners, they probably didn't know that their reputation was damaged.
Boys still have to protect themselves when they go out.
The brothers did not take this episode to heart. After the man left, Esposito returned the car keys to Dalin. They were happy at the moment that the equipment vehicle had been recovered and were preparing to drive the equipment vehicle back to the hotel after dinner.
At the dinner table, Grandma Leta led everyone in a pre-meal prayer, and only after that did they start using their knives and forks to check their cooking results.
I didn't expect it to taste so good.
Su Xing proudly stated that the meat sauce lasagna was so delicious not only because of Wang Yuexin's meat sauce and Chen Chu's freshly peeled tomatoes, but also because if he, a Chang'an native, hadn't rolled the noodles, it would definitely not have such a chewy texture.
It is easiest to chat at the dinner table and bring people closer together. In addition to the subordinates who suddenly appeared to deliver the keys just now, Dalin and Zhao Hao finally took some meaningful shots.
Grandma Leta said they are running a community mutual aid association. There are many rich people in Italy, but there are even more people from the lower classes and refugees who have fled from war-torn countries.
It is difficult for the Italian police to manage these refugees, so it is time for the Noravinich Mutual Aid Association to play a role.
They provide them with jobs that are enough to keep them fed and clothed, provide them with housing, and maintain law and order in the community. At least with the help of Noravinich, the crime rate in the small towns around Rome has plummeted, unlike other places that are still plagued by refugee problems.
"Without their homes, all they want is a meal to fill their stomachs. Sometimes, the simpler the need, the more likely people are to go to extremes," said Grandma Leta. "But your country is good and safe, without war or conflict. That's the most precious thing."
"So when Xiao Sai first started to develop in China, I was most relieved."
Others didn't understand what Grandma Leta meant, assuming only that their grandson thrived in a peaceful country would reassure the elders. But Yu Yu knew what she was talking about. She was referring to his youth, when he'd wandered from country to country, seeking refuge. There were some unsavory things going on in the nobility. Relatives who didn't want the old duke's favored heir alive sent assassins to chase him around the EU, until he eventually fled to the Southern Hemisphere.
But if it weren't for them, Yu Yu probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to help the little Su Xing in the alley, nor would he have met such a good brother in his youth. Because under normal circumstances, Yu Yu would have been forced by his family to stay in an aristocratic school in Europe until he graduated from high school and went to college.
So they were still somewhat useful, but unfortunately the old duke and his stepfather got rid of them so decisively that not even a trace of them remained, leaving Yu Yu with no chance to repay them properly.
Grandma Leta glanced at Yu Yu and raised her glass: "Gentlemen, I think we should drink to peace."
Everyone immediately raised their glasses and prepared to toast when Wang Yuexin suddenly noticed that Grandma Leta's gesture was actually the same one they used to toast to their new jobs. "Look, guys, Grandma's gesture is so standard. Xiaoyu, have you mentioned this to Grandma before?"
"Do I need him to remind me about this kind of thing? I know it from watching your show," said Grandma Leta.
"It's a success, our show is really a success, the overseas market is booming..." Wang Zhengliang was talking when he felt something was wrong - "Wait, Grandma, can you understand Chinese?"
"After all, I have a grandson who is of Chinese descent, so of course I have to learn your language." Grandma Leta laughed with a malicious smile.
So, they previously mistakenly thought that the foreigners couldn't understand their whispers, but in fact, they understood them and were just cooperating with them?
The brothers began to urgently reflect on whether they had said anything that should not be said.
Grandma is really something. She had to wait until the last moment to say it. It turns out that Yu Yu’s family are not good people!
