Chapter Thirty-Seven, I was speechless

"Mom, don't be angry. That Mariana deserves it. My sister deserves it!"

"Mom, go slowly, be careful of the stairs~"

Sophie walked out of the principal's office and was silent all the time. Oscar and Hannah kept saying a word, but Alice was also silent. Until everyone walked out of the school gate together, they saw James strode towards them from afar.

"I was in class, Sophie, Alice hit someone?"

"I'll shock them for the time being, let's talk about it when you get in the car."

Sophie waved her hand and the whole family got into the car obediently. At this moment, the momentum she showed was definitely not the calm and gentleness she usually was at home, but like a gold medal lawyer who was about to step into court and faced with the trial team's endless talk!

As soon as the car started, James asked immediately: "Alice, baby, the principal hung up the phone number, did you fight with a girl?"

"It was Mariana who provoked first!"

Oscar first said loudly: "I heard Mike talk about the situation at that time. Didn't Alice write a manuscript from Jurassic Park and send it to the publishing house? I don't know how Mariana had a brain. She insisted on accusing Alice of stealing her father's manuscript, and then kept insulting her, and even insulting our whole family!"

"Yes, yes!"

Hanna also said, "Malisa told me the situation at the first time, and her sister is so amazing. Marisa said she still feels dreaming until now. She said, her sister knocked Mariana away in an instant!"

"Hit...fly?"

James was a little unconscious. Although Hannah was very young, he knew that his youngest daughter could hardly speak in an exaggerated way: "Alice, what's going on?"

Alice never said a word from almost the beginning.

When the chaos spread in the classroom, Sissi, Johnny, Mike, Marisa and other students with good relationships with her stood on her side without hesitation, and there were absolutely a large number of people. When Mr. Joseph, Director Robert, and Principal Hirota arrived one after another, they all pointed out that it was Mariana's fault, and Alice didn't even need to explain it herself.

When Mariana's parents arrived, Oscar was by no means a good deal. She still didn't need to speak as her sister, and her younger brother confronted the couple speechlessly. After all, when a teenager yelled regardless of the silence, adults often couldn't hold on.

Of course, during this process, Alice was not without helping secretly, but just using a little mental power. She easily made Mariana unable to even let go of a fart.

As a result, she did not surprisingly notice that as a Japanese-born Principal Hirota was extremely speechless about this situation. Who could have imagined that the "victim" had become the suppressed party to make the mistake? And he was the Chinese whom he had always hated as a Japanese?

"This is the case with the violent acts brought about by inferiority and superiority."

Faced with her father's problem, Alice opened her mouth and said something unscrupulous, which made Oscar and Hannah look at each other.

However, James was silent.

A sense of inferiority and superiority.

With his daily understanding of his daughter and his life experience, he instantly understood the meaning of these two words.

The Mariana Levin family is an immigrant from Czechoslovakia and was moved from Eastern Europe four years ago. Everyone knows this.

As a member of the Warsaw Pact, this small country located in Eastern Europe is really not wealthy. Four years ago, in 1980, James was not sure about the specific situation, but he could leave his hometown and immigrate to other countries, and he was also heading to the United States, as the head of NATO... God knows what kind of living standard is that the Levins family can make such a decision.

After all, generally speaking, if you can, you should go to the Soviet Union and live in Moscow or St. Petersburg?

The only explanation is that in order to survive and live a better life, the family had to come to the United States from a distance instead of seeking a visit to their Soviet elder brother, the steel and military power.

How can we not make them feel inferior when we come to America in this capacity?

Then in this case, their daughter met Alice, who was a mixed Chinese race.

"This is impossible to avoid, kid."

After a long silence, James said: "Although the United States is a melting pot, its racial discrimination problem has always existed. Although this phenomenon has been much more eased now, and it is mainly concentrated among black and white people, we will still be affected in some ways."

Sophie sighed as well.

As the wife who has been with James for more than ten years, she certainly understands all of them.

"Speaking of this, Alice and Hannah, you really should be saddened that you were born in the 1970s."

Sophie laughed self-deprecatingly: "Mom, I was born in the late 1940s and went to college in the 1960s. Do you know that in the 1950s, the proportion of women going to college was very low, and most of the majors were not open to women. For example, almost all women who worked as nurses in medicine, because the real majors were not open to women at all!"

"So Alice, you don't have to be too uncomfortable about what's going on today, the country is still changing very quickly. Think about it, when my mother finished studying, there were only a handful of female doctors in the entire American history, but look at how many women are going to get high education now?"

"Then the same reason, the various contradictions we encounter every day will definitely be solved continuously, from big problems to small troubles. Everyone think about it, what was our Culver City Mayor's goal last year when he ran for the election?"

After the question was asked, Hannah answered: "Fence the lawns of all residential communities with fences, and the city government will pay for it!"

Hearing Hannah's tender voice, laughter rang out in the car, Sophie then said, "Yes, it's just a fence to cover the lawn. This is the promotional goal of the mayor's election. Why is it just such a trivial matter?"

Now, Hannah couldn't answer, pouted and frowned, and Oscar spoke: "Because big things like widening the road and expanding the library have been solved, so he had to focus on trivial matters."

“Correct, that’s it!”

Sophie laughed loudly, "Because all the big problems have been solved, we can only deal with some trivial matters. And think about it, with the questions raised by Oscar just now, our Culver City had not achieved ten years ago, widening the roads and expanding the library. If such things were put into some slightly backward countries, wouldn't it actually be trivial?"

"Because there are more important problems that have not been solved, such as the transformation of slums, popularization of medical insurance, and the increase in employment rates. Even as a larger city, we should strive to achieve industrial modernization and strive to achieve a well-off society as soon as possible... Cough, that's the reason."

Almost said too much, Alice coughed twice, but Hannah thought she was uncomfortable and patted her on the back twice with great considerateness.

"Don't worry, mom, I understand these principles."

As she said this, Alice couldn't help but sigh and looked out the window. Since it was already noon, James drove to the city for dinner, not far from the street, clearly visible in Chinatown, Los Angeles.

"Actually, as long as we become stronger, no one will dare to find fault any more."

Looking at the plaque at the end of the street, Alice smiled slightly: "I have confidence than any of you. In just 30 years, China's GDP will definitely reach the second place in the world. Mom, should you make this bet with me?"

The second in the world in thirty years, this prophecy is really exaggerated. Sufi certainly wouldn't think it could be realized, but she still smiled lightly and looked at James immediately, and sure enough, she also showed a warm smile when she saw him.

However, Oscar in the back seat rolled his eyes, and Sophie couldn't help but feel that he was too disrespectful to his sister, right?

"Okay, then I'll bet with you."

As James slowly slowed down and prepared to park at their target hotel, Sophie smiled and said, "But since you think China will become so powerful, do you also have to achieve something?"

“That’s a must!”

Alice looked out the window and Cadillac was parking in front of a Chinese restaurant. She was having fun watching the compatriot wearing traditional clothes keep directing.

"The first step is to make a fortune of 100 billion US dollars. All industries are involved, and the whole United States will be turned into its own back garden! Then, then... uh... the next steps have not been considered yet, but since we have reached this level, it would be too untasteful to talk about money. Hello, Oscar, Hannah, are you right?"

Hannah kept nodding at her at the first moment, and Oscar leaned lazily on a cup and hummed.

"Then the richest man in the world, why don't you plan to lead mankind into the universe?"

"Uh...this is still a bit exaggerated."

Seeing her parents laughing in the front row, Alice grimaced in the backview mirror, and said happily: "But it is still very good to fight against it, come on, work hard~"

"Oh! Come on, sister!"

"Well, mom is optimistic about you."

"Okay, my daughter is really good for her father."

"Of course~ Oh, Oscar, don't you say anything? Your sister, I want to become the richest man in the world!"

Oscar curled his lips and cut.

"It's useless. Let's ask Cisco to make its first pot of gold first. It's a bag company that has spent five dollars to register in the living room!"

"Uh...well, I'm speechless."
