After explaining all the things he had to do, Dong Xuebin finally found the time. He immediately booked the fastest flight ticket in the morning and went directly from the provincial capital to the capital. If it was someone else's matter, Dong Xuebin would not be so concerned.
After all, he is also very busy here. The Investment and Cultural Festival is over, but there are still a pair of project implementations and other work in the county waiting for him to do. How can he have so much free time? But since it is Xie Huilan's younger brother's business,
Since it was Xie Huilan's family who asked him to go over and help, Dong Xuebin definitely couldn't shirk it. He had to go there. Given the priorities, it was obvious that things at home were more important this time.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Beijing, Capital Airport.
After Dong Xuebin got out of the first-class cabin, he called home. Han Jing answered the phone, "Hey, Mom, I just got off the plane. I'm going over there."
Han Jing said: "Okay, come on."
"Then where should I go?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Han Jing said: "You go directly to the old man's house. They are all there. Mom will come over right away."
"Okay, see you later." Dong Xuebin didn't even bother to bring his luggage this time, and he didn't need to bring anything with him. He strode out to take a taxi.
On the car.
Dong Xuebin called Fang Wenping again. He wanted to say hello to Lao Fang first. Well, he also had the idea of finding out what the Fang family meant. However, the phone automatically disconnected after ringing for more than ten times. No one answered the call.
After a few minutes, Dong Xuebin called again, but no one answered. Dong Xuebin understood that as a deputy governor, the possibility of Fang Wenping being unable to reach the phone was almost zero. It was not an area without signal, nor was it
Turning off the phone, Lao Fang guessed that he didn't answer his phone on purpose. He probably knew what was going on. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin couldn't help but feel very depressed. This Lao Fang, you can die if you mess with me. You can't even call me.
You won’t answer either!
If you don't answer, don't answer.
Brother, figure it out yourself.
Dong Xuebin knew that Fang Wenping did not agree with Fang Shuiling and Xie Ran being together, so he stopped fighting and went straight to the old man's villa as a rental.
The road was a bit far, Dong Xuebin arrived at around 11 o'clock or almost 12 o'clock, and there was a traffic jam on the road for a long time.
At the door of the villa, the guard nodded to Dong Xuebin and let him in.
As soon as he entered the yard, Dong Xuebin saw Xie Ran, Xie Jing, Fang Shuiling and others standing outside.
They were talking and there was no atmosphere at all.
"My brother-in-law will be back soon. My brother-in-law can support both of us. Why don't we worry? It will be no problem if we let my brother-in-law go." Xie Hao boasted on Dong Xuebin's behalf.
Dong Xuebin walked in happily, "What are you bragging about?"
"Ahaha, my idol is back!" Xie Hao suddenly shouted.
As soon as they saw Dong Xuebin, Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling rushed to greet him, "Brother-in-law, you are here. I have been waiting for you for several days."
"Brother Dong." Fang Shuiling looked at him eagerly.
Dong Xuebin said embarrassedly: "I'm a little busy these days and haven't taken any time. I just had a day off today on Saturday. Well, where are the family members?"
Xie Jing pointed to the villa, "They were all in the house. We came out because the smell of smoke was too strong."
Xie Ran quickly said: "Brother-in-law, did you listen to what my sister said about the matter?"
"Well, I heard about it, how is it going now? What's going on?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Ran gave a wry smile, "That's it. Xiaoling's family kept silent about this matter and didn't even mention it. My parents didn't particularly agree with it. Fortunately, my grandfather spoke to my parents and told me to let me
You have to make up your own mind, and my parents can barely get by."
Dong Xuebin looked at Fang Shuiling, "Your family didn't react at all?"
Fang Shuiling lowered her head, "It's not that there was no reaction. My sister-in-law also flew back yesterday and she probably wanted to discuss the matter again, but they haven't talked to me about it, so I don't know."
It turns out that Fang Wenping came back yesterday?
This old Fang didn't even say a word to me when he came back.
Dong Xuebin said: "I also called your sister-in-law, but she didn't answer, so her attitude is probably not optimistic."
Fang Shuiling became even more anxious when she heard this, "Brother Dong, then, what should we do?"
Xie Hao patted Fang Shuiling on the shoulder like an adult, "Sister-in-law, is it okay for my brother-in-law to do something? Didn't my family say that my brother-in-law should go to your house to discuss the engagement? It must be okay, hehe, even if it really doesn't work,
, you and my brother can get married directly. If your family locks you up and won't let you go, then let my brother-in-law beat them up and snatch you out in the dark. I'm not bragging to you. Sister-in-law, although there are security guards at your house.
There are many, and the security facilities are very good, but it is impossible for anyone to be my brother-in-law's opponent. Who doesn't know my brother-in-law's fighting ability? Let alone taking action, my brother-in-law can scare them just by announcing his name."
Xie Jing slapped Xiao Hao on the head angrily, "What are you talking about? What are you thinking about all day long? Can this matter be solved like that?"
Xie Ran bowed slightly to Dong Xuebin, "Brother-in-law, I'll take care of you this time."
"Don't worry, I'll try my best." Dong Xuebin walked in after saying that, "I'll go in first."
Xie Ran, Fang Shuiling and the others did not enter the house, but just waited outside, because they knew that the elders must have something to say to Dong Xuebin alone, and it was not convenient for them to be there. Xie Hao wanted to join in the fun and jumped in to follow, but Xie Hao was
Jing grabbed him and didn't let him in.
In the house.
Sure enough, there was thick smoke billowing from it.
Han Jing looked to the side and said, "Stop smoking, you'll get choked."
Ci Lifen covered her mouth and coughed twice, got up and opened the window.
The elder sister-in-law had spoken, and Xie Guoliang and Xie Guojian quickly put out their cigarette butts. The elder brother Xie Guobang was also about to light a cigarette and put the cigarette back when he heard the sound.
The door opened.
"Dad, mom, uncle, aunt, second uncle and second aunt." Dong Xuebin came in and started calling people.
Han Jing finally smiled and said, "Xiao Bin is here, come and see Mom, why have you lost weight? Why don't you eat well over there?" She pulled Dong Xuebin for a while to ask questions.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "The food is very good, but I am a bit busy at work and tired. Hey, actually I don't feel any thinner. It's almost the same as before."
Han Jing said: "It's almost the same. You've lost a lot of weight. It's almost time for dinner. Mom will cook a meal for you later. Haha, eat more."
Dong Xuebin said: "Okay, thank you mom, I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time, and I'm really greedy."
The two of them chatted for a long time. Over there, Xie Guoliang spoke again, "Xiao Bin, do you know everything?"
Dong Xuebin became more serious now, "I know, uncle, I heard Huilan say it."
Xia Yanzhen looked at Dong Xuebin and said: "I have caused trouble for you this time. I even called you all the way back. Didn't it delay your work?"
Dong Xuebin smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, auntie, there are people in the county keeping an eye on you. It doesn't matter if I'm missing. Xiaoran's lifelong events must be the most important. No matter how busy I am, I have to come back."
Xia Yanzhen sighed and said: "Oh, Xiaoran is getting more and more stubborn. He used to be more obedient. Look, it has only been less than a year since he was trained at the grassroots level. He doesn't listen to what is said at home at all. Yesterday he even told us
Slapping the table and staring." After saying that, Xia Yanzhen also showed a rather complicated smile. This may be due to the pity of parents in the world. They hope that their children can be independent, but when this day comes, they feel a little sad.
Han Jing said with relief: "Yanzhen, it's actually a good thing that Xiaoran can persist like this."
Xia Yanzhen said: "I also know it is a good thing, it means that the child has matured and can take charge of her own business, but... why does it have to be from the Fang family? I think the little girl from the Sun family is not bad."
Xie Guoliang also had the same expression, and the old couple were still awkward. Obviously, they must have had direct conflicts with the Fang family before, and it was probably quite a lot.
There was silence for a moment.
Xie Guoliang said: "Let's stick to what we discussed before."
Han Jing looked at him and said, "Let Xue Bin go over and negotiate?"
Xie Guoliang hummed and said to Dong Xuebin: "Excuse me, Xiaobin."
"Looking at your polite second uncle, I will definitely try my best." Dong Xuebin said: "But I don't know how to negotiate. I will go directly to Fang's house. Then we will talk about Xiaoran and Xiaoling's engagement? What if they don't agree?
What should I do? Or don’t let me in at all?”
Father-in-law Xie Guobang said calmly: "You can control these by yourself."
Xie Guoliang also said: "Yes, I believe in your ability to adapt to changes. Depending on the specific situation, you can make your own judgment." The family really trusts Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin felt a weight on his shoulders again, "But what if I don't handle it well? Or what if they don't agree? Ahem, you all know my temper. Sometimes I am impulsive, and I am afraid that I will handle it."
It’s inappropriate, don’t delay Xiaoran and Xiaoling’s life-long events when the time comes.”
Han Jing patted the back of Dong Xuebin's hand who was sitting next to her, and said warmly: "If you don't agree at all, forget it, but if you can fight for it, let's fight for it. What the old man means is that Xiaoran and Xiaoling are in love.
, it is the children’s own decision, and we as elders should not interfere too much. Secondly, our family has had a long-standing feud with the Fang family, but if we can really ease the relationship through this matter, it will also be politically positive for the family.
Influence and positive effect, so the old man acquiesces to this matter, and there is no problem here in our family. Now it depends on the attitude of the Fang family, so I want you to talk to them on behalf of our family."
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "Sure, since everyone trusts me so much, then I must be fine. There are other things about the betrothal gift. I am..."
Xie Ran's father, Xie Guoliang, said: "It's all up to you."
Xia Yanzhen said: "Xiao Bin, you don't have to feel pressure. Let's talk about it first and see their attitude. It's not convenient for me and Guoliang to come forward, so you can fully represent us."
Dong Xuebin could only bite the bullet and agree. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
