While Dong Xuebin was still immersed in the joy of being promoted, Xie Ran also drove out of the alleys in Houhai alone. He did not go with his mother and aunt, but drove west by himself and made a phone call.
Finally, he stopped the car at an intersection. Not long after, a delicate figure slowly walked over - it was Fang Shuiling, the little granddaughter of the Fang family. The two had obviously made an appointment.
"Brother Ran."
"Xiao Ling."
"Your mother and the others..."
"Everyone's gone, home."
"Oh, where are we going?"
"Get in the car first, the car will tell you."
Fang Shuiling got into the passenger seat and the car started to drive.
Xie Ran turned his head and said: "This time the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is going to be reformed, my brother-in-law may also have to make a move and go to the new department."
"I know there have been reforms." Fang Shuiling reached out and took Xie Ran's hand, "My sister-in-law told me this morning."
Hearing this, Xie Ran sighed, "How is your aunt? She's staying at home too? She hasn't gone to work yet?"
"Like Brother Dong, he was ordered by his employer to go home and reflect." Fang Shuiling was not in a good mood, "I really don't know how the two of them ended up in such trouble."
Xie Ran said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have taken you there."
Fang Shuiling said: "I insist on following you, it's not your fault."
Xie Ran said: "It's hard to handle now. If your aunt fights with my brother-in-law like this, the family will definitely be affected. My eldest sister will definitely not do anything if she knows about it. Our two families have historical conflicts. Alas, today my mother
They also suspected that I was in love. They asked me, but I didn’t dare to say anything. I didn’t know how to say it at all. With the matter of my brother-in-law and your aunt, it is even less likely that my family will agree. "
Fang Shuiling was in a low mood, "What should we do?"
"Does your family know?" Xie Ran asked.
"No." Fang Shuiling said, "My sister-in-law hasn't told my family yet."
Xie Ran said: "That's okay. It's not appropriate to tell them now. Well, do you think this is okay? We can encourage my brother-in-law to communicate with your sister-in-law? Let them resolve the conflict first?"
"Is this possible?" Fang Shuiling was not convinced.
Xie Ran shook his head, "We can only take one step at a time. In fact, the conflicts between our two families are all caused by the previous generation. In recent years, our two families have been in peace with each other, and there have not been many major conflicts."
There is a conflict, except for your sister-in-law and my brother-in-law. If they can shake hands and make peace, the resistance will be slightly smaller. Maybe due to political reasons, the family may be able to agree to our matter."
Fang Shuiling pondered, "I don't know either, I'll listen to you."
Xie Ran decided, "Okay, let's do it like this, let's..."
…
evening.
It's past seven o'clock.
Dong Xuebin was drinking tea and listening to songs alone in the study, looking very nourished.
Suddenly, the door to the courtyard outside rang. Dong Xuebin didn't close the door and didn't know who came in, so he turned off the music and went out to take a look.
"Xiaoran?"
"Brother-in-law."
Xie Ran came in.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Why are you back again?"
Xie Ran smiled slightly and said, "Hey, aren't you invited to come?"
"Invite me?" Dong Xuebin blinked, "Why go?"
Xie Ran said seriously: "That's right, today is Xiaoling's birthday. It's not interesting for the two of us to celebrate it. We just want to have more people and make it more lively, so I'm seeing if you have time. Let's go to the KTV and roar together."
Dong Xuebin immediately waved his hand and said: "How can I sing?"
"Just be humble. What can't you do? Let's come together, brother-in-law." Xie Ran said.
Dong Xuebin still waved his hand, "It's your birthday as a young couple. I'll go and figure out what's going on. Forget it, I'd better watch a movie with my family."
Xie Ran refused, "It's not just the two of us, there are others."
"I really won't go, you can just have fun." Dong Xuebin didn't want to join in the fun.
But Xie Ran pulled him hard and said, "Just give me a face brother-in-law. Xiaoling has already called her friends. If I don't call anyone here, how embarrassing will it be for me? Everyone's birthday is full of excitement."
My friend, there are only two or three people on Xiaoling’s birthday? Where can we put this face?”
Dong Xuebin hesitated and said, "Then your name is Xiao Hao and Xiao Jing. Xiao Hao likes to join in the fun. Xiao Jing is also resting today, so she should be able to go?"
"I called, but they didn't have time." Xie Ran couldn't help but pulled Dong Xuebin out, "Let's go, brother-in-law, the private rooms are all booked."
Seeing that he had no choice, Dong Xuebin had no choice but to agree, "Then... ok, by the way, what gift should I bring?"
Xie Ran pulled him out and said, "No, no, you gave Xiaoling so much money last time, what kind of gift do you need? It will be done when you arrive."
…
Eight o'clock.
A KTV in Chengxi District.
Not far away, only a five-minute drive from Houhai.
Dong Xuebin didn't know what Xie Ran was up to. After getting out of the car, he straightened his clothes and made them neater before going inside with Xie Ran.
The waiter came up to him and said, "Hello, sir, who are you?"
Xie Ran said: "The private room has been booked, at 6106."
The waiter checked, "Is it Mr. Xie?"
"Yes." Xie Ran asked, "Is the person here?"
The waiter said: "Two ladies have already arrived, please come with me."
Dong Xuebin and Xie Ran followed the waiter upstairs. In the elevator, Dong Xuebin said to Xie Ran: "Why didn't you book a better place?"
Although this KTV is very good, it is not very famous.
Xie Ran smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of meeting acquaintances? Xiaoling wants to be quiet, and our affairs are also kept secret, so..."
Dong Xuebin nodded.
…
The box has arrived.
"Please, I won't disturb you." After the waiter brought them over, he turned around and left.
Xie Ran pushed the door open and walked in. Dong Xuebin followed him into the box without energy.
Fang Shuiling had already arrived and was sitting there eating her plate. But when Dong Xuebin saw the person next to Fang Shuiling, his expression changed slightly!
When the man saw Dong Xuebin, his face darkened!
"Fang Wenping?"
"Dong Xuebin?"
Dong Xuebin didn’t expect Fang Wenping to come!
Fang Wenping obviously didn't expect Dong Xuebin to come!
When enemies met, they immediately became cold-eyed!
Seeing Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling, Dong Xuebin and Fang Wenping immediately knew what these two people were planning. Dong Xuebin turned around and left without saying a word, and Fang Wenping also stood up and left!
Fang Shuiling hurriedly hugged her aunt, "Sister-in-law! What are you doing! Today is my birthday!"
"What's your birthday? It's not here yet!" Fang Wenping was a little angry.
Fang Shuiling said: "Today is my birthday according to the lunar calendar. You don't even remember this?"
Xie Ran also quickly grabbed Dong Xuebin, "Brother-in-law! Give me some face! Give me some face! Xiaoling's birthday is only once a year! Don't bother me!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster novels.
