Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Chu Xiangyu whispered, "There's a foreigner making a scene up ahead, and nobody can understand what he's saying."

He had barely finished speaking when a flight attendant asked, "Does anyone speak English?"

"Could you please translate what this foreigner is saying?"

The people around him whispered among themselves, but no one answered.

People these days generally have low levels of education; many can't even recognize all the Chinese characters, let alone speak English.

Lu Yang stood up helplessly and said, "I can speak some English."

The flight attendant looked at him with some suspicion and asked, "Are you also going to register for university?"

"There was someone who was going to register at the university just now, and he couldn't understand what the foreigner was saying."

Lu Yang smiled. He had long forgotten the English he learned in high school. The English he learned later was all from interacting with foreigners while working in a restaurant.

"Don't worry, general communication is no problem."

Lu Yang was too lazy to say more and followed the flight attendant to a soft sleeper compartment.

Inside the private compartment sat a blond, blue-eyed, big-nosed foreigner who was blocking the doorway with a furious expression, pointing at the three people in the sleeper compartment and launching into a tirade.

Unfortunately, the three of them were completely bewildered because they couldn't understand a single word.

Lu Yang paused at the door for a few moments, and the foreigner said, "Who stole my pocket watch? Come out right now, are you all deaf?"

The flight attendant glanced at Lu Yang, who said speechlessly, "His pocket watch is missing, and he suspects the three people in the compartment stole it. He's questioning those three people."

"I didn't steal anything from him, don't talk nonsense!"

The old man with gray hair among the three said angrily.

The other two were also furious upon hearing this, and they all declared that they hadn't stolen anything from the foreigner.

The foreigner gradually became agitated and started swearing at the three of them.

Seeing the situation deteriorate, the flight attendants were sweating profusely.

Lu Yang immediately asked the foreigner in English, "When was the last time you looked at your pocket watch?"

The foreigner was quite excited; after talking for so long, he finally found someone who could understand him.

He thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems to be in the bathroom. I'll go wash my hands over there."

He pointed to the restroom in the distance, saying he hadn't thought to look there earlier.

Lu Yao was standing right next to him, his face ashen. He never expected Lu Yang to be so good at English.

Lu Yang immediately told the flight attendant, "He just went to the restroom. Please look for his pocket watch there."

The flight attendant immediately ran over and returned shortly after, holding a gold watch in her hand.

"It fell on the ground. The lighting wasn't very good over there, so I had to search carefully to find it!"

The flight attendant excitedly waved the watch in front of the foreigner and asked, "Is this the one?"

The foreigner grabbed the pocket watch, excitedly saying yes, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Lu Yang.

With a serious expression, Lu Yang said in English, "Although the people here are generally not wealthy, there aren't many people with bad character."

"Take good care of your belongings and don't falsely accuse others in the future."

The foreigner blushed, smiled awkwardly, and insisted on chatting with Lu Yang, even taking out several pieces of imported chocolate from his bag.

The flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief: "Comrade Lu, thank goodness for your help. Although you both share the same surname and are both college students, you are clearly more knowledgeable!"

Other onlookers chimed in, "Universities come in many tiers; some are good, some are average, they're all different."

Lu Yao, who was listening nearby, turned pale and then flushed, and sat down angrily, leaning on his cane.

Lu Yang thought the foreigner wanted to talk to him about something, but later realized that the guy probably just couldn't speak the language and hadn't struggled to speak at all since coming to China.

When someone finally talks to him, he becomes like a chatterbox.

Fortunately, he and Lu Yao were both going to Haishi, so they quickly got off the train and caught their way to Haishi.

When Lu Yang returned to Chu Xiangyu's side, he handed her a piece of chocolate and said, "That foreigner gave it to me, here's one for you."

Chu Xiangyu said with some regret, "Lili told me before that your cousin took your place in college, and I didn't believe it. It turns out it's true. You're really unlucky."

Lu Yang looked up and said, "I can pass the exam once, and I can pass it again, and I can do even better!"

"I'm short of money right now. Before I go to university, I need to settle things for my mom, Lili, and my younger brother and sister."

Chu Xiangyu nodded slightly, her tone becoming more serious: "You and Lili are both rare good people. If you want to do business in the future, I can help you."

Lu Yang quickly thanked them. After three days of train travel, they finally arrived in Guangzhou.

Lu Yang's bottom was so hard from sitting that when the train arrived at the station, he stood up while holding onto the seat in front of him, and took a couple of steps like a crab before he could slowly walk again.

"Take your luggage."

Chu Xiangyu smiled and pushed the luggage to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang carried the luggage and escorted Chu Xiangyu off the train.

After walking for a while, Lu Yang suddenly felt a chill on his buttocks. He subconsciously touched it and felt a surge of anger.

"I was grabbing a coat when a kid slashed my pants. Luckily, I had some toilet paper in my pocket."

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and stopped, pulled a jacket out of his backpack, and tied it around his waist.

He was somewhat terrified because he hadn't even noticed when his pants had been cut open.

This made him very nervous. Guangzhou was much more dangerous now than when he came here to work six years later in his previous life.

Chu Xiangyu laughed so hard she almost fell over. After she finished laughing, she pointed to the bus in front of her and said, "Let's find a place to stay."

“There are many villages around Guangzhou, and the whole village is related to each other. We can eat and stay at their homes, and they can make some money. We can just consider it as paying protection money.”

Lu Yang immediately nodded: "I'll do whatever you say."

The two spent a few cents to take a bus and got off at the small village that Chu Xiangyu had mentioned.

Chu Xiangyu entered the village with ease and said to a woman in her fifties, "Sister, could you please arrange a room for us and get us some food?"

The woman smiled and said in heavily accented Mandarin, "Then I'll cook you two bowls of noodles."

"We'll stay in the same room you stayed in last time you came."

After thanking her, Chu Xiangyu beckoned Lu Yang to walk together toward a row of low bungalows.
