Ding Ba once went to the pleasure quarters of Kyoto, the capital of the United States, to learn from their experience. He stayed there for a while. Before going, he heard people say that the food there was exquisite and delicious. However, after eating there, he cursed every day because there was nothing he liked. Later, he finally found a Sichuan restaurant and was able to fill his stomach.

The "stinky beans" he mentioned were natto, and the "stale soup" was miso soup—foods that locals eat almost every day, but they nearly drove Dingba crazy. He would rather starve than eat them because he simply couldn't get used to them.

His feelings at that moment were probably just as desperate as Bear Grylls' when he ate the century egg!

That's why Dingba has thought ever since that country is no place for humans. Not only is it small, but the food is also not satisfying. He thought his mother would starve to death if she went back!

Inukai Yoshi corrected him, saying, "Our country has many delicious foods, and you have three-quarters Chinese blood in you."

Ding Ba scoffed, "Anyway, I'm Chinese, I don't speak Chinese, and I can't get used to the food there. I'm not going to settle there in the future, so don't try to persuade me to go back!"

He has absolutely no sense of being a Chinese person. Deep down, he thinks he is Chinese, and his ancestors were Chinese too. Besides, wasn't China the ancient China? Maybe his ancestors were Chinese!

Inukai Yoshi was easy to talk to. "If you don't want to go, then you don't have to. But you still have to change back to your ancestral surname and go back to pay respects to your grandparents, uncles, cousins, and other relatives. They are all your family!"

Ye Qingqing wholeheartedly agreed. Inukai Yoshi's request was not excessive; recognizing one's ancestors was a must!

Ding Ba jumped up like a dog biting, "Going back to recognize my family is no problem, but I absolutely will not change my surname!"

I'd rather die than have that son of a bitch's surname, what kind of person would that be!

Inukai Yoshi looked helpless. He had just reunited with his son and was not familiar with Ding Hachi, so he didn't dare to say anything harsh. However, his son didn't want to take his surname, which made him feel a little sad.

Gong Zhu shouted, "You are your father's son, it's only natural that you share his surname, why don't you change it!"

Ding Ba grumbled and whined for a long time, but refused to give his childish reason. Hui Zi tried to persuade him, but Ding Ba remained adamant. He was easy to talk to except for changing his surname.

Ye Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she whispered a few words in Gong Zhu's ear. Gong Zhu looked at Ding Ba in surprise, then burst into laughter, pointing at Ding Ba and laughing until tears streamed down her face.

"You idiot, how can you be so stupid? Your father's ancestors used to raise dogs, that's why his surname is Inukai (Dog-Boy). What are you thinking!" Gongzhu laughed and scolded.

Ding Ba said reluctantly, "Then other people won't know the origin of my surname. They'll definitely think I'm a son of a bitch when they hear it. I can't stand it if someone calls me by my surname and I curse them every time!"

Inukai Yoshi finally understood why his son didn't want to change his surname. He was both annoyed and amused. What was going on?!

But he didn't want to force his son. However, he couldn't explain to his parents and family that his son didn't change his surname. It was too unreasonable. Inukai Yoshi looked helpless and pitiful. Lu Mo couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Ding Ba on the head, almost making him fall to the ground.

"If I tell you to change it, then you should change it obediently. In China, you can continue to be called Ding Ba, but you must go back to your ancestral home and change back to your original surname. If you don't tell me here, who will know what your surname is!"

Lu Mo's words enlightened Ding Ba. That's right, he just needs to secretly change his surname and not let others know!

Inukai Yoshi was even more grateful to Lu Mo and was determined to cooperate more with Lu Mo's company in the future. Moreover, his wife and children did not want to go back to live there, and he was already considering shifting his work focus to China.

"Back then, people said you were thrown into the river and disappeared. How did you escape?" Gong Zhu asked curiously.
