One day.
Two days.
Three days later.
After explaining all the busy things, Dong Xuebin finally took the time, and immediately booked the fastest flight in the morning, directly from the provincial capital to Capital City. If it was someone else's matter, Dong Xuebin wouldn't be so concerned about it. After all, he is also very busy here. Investment Promotion Culture Festival is finished, but there will be another pair in the future. The implementation of the project and other work in the county are waiting for him. How can he have so much free time? However, since it is Xie Huilan's younger brother's matter, and since Xie Huilan's family has designated him to go over and help, Dong Xuebin definitely can't shirk it. He must go there. Considering the priority, it is obvious that this time the matter at home is much more important.
Ten o'clock in the morning. The Power of Time and Wealth 1945
Capital City, Capital Airport.
After Dong Xuebin got out of the first class cabin, he made a call 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 Old Master'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 even need to bring anything with him. He strode out to take a taxi.
in the car.
Dong Xuebin called Fang Wenping again, wanting to say hello to Old Fang first. Well, he also had the idea of finding out what the Fang family meant, but the phone automatically disconnected after ringing for more than ten times, and no one answered. After a few minutes, Dong Xuebin called again, but no one answered. Dong Xuebin can understand. Fang Wenping As a deputy governor, the possibility of the phone not being able to get through is almost zero. It's not an area with no signal, and it's not a power off. Old Fang guesses that he didn't answer his phone on purpose. He probably knows what's going on. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin couldn't help but feel very depressed. This Old Fang, you're going to die if you come to terms with me. You don't even answer the phone!
If you don't answer, don't answer.
Brother, figure it out yourself.
Dong Xuebin knew that Fang Wenping himself did not agree with Fang Shuiling and Xie Ran being together, so he did not fight and went straight to Old Master's villa for rent.
The road is a bit far, Dong Xuebin arrived at 11 o'clock or 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 I entered the yard. Dong Xuebin saw Xie Ran Xie Jing and Fang Shuiling standing outside. Xie Jing had a normal expression, and Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling both looked worried. Only Xie Hao, the kid, kept talking to them happily, without feeling any sense of the atmosphere.
"Brother-in-law will be back soon. Brother-in-law is going to fight against both. What's there to worry about? It will be no problem to let Brother-in-law go." Xie Hao boasted on behalf of Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin walked in happily. "What are you bragging about?"
"Ah haha, my idol is back! Yin Yang Heart Hunting Technique!" Xie Hao suddenly shouted.
Upon seeing Dong Xuebin, Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling all 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. The Power of Time and Wealth 1945
Dong Xuebin said embarrassedly, "I'm a little busy these days. I didn't take time out. I just had a day off today, Saturday, eh. 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?"
"Well, I heard about it. How are you doing now? What's going on?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Ran smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Xiao Ling's family kept silent about this matter and didn't even mention it. My parents didn't particularly agree with it. Fortunately, my grandpa spoke to my parents and told them to let me make my own decision. My parents just managed to get through it."
Dong Xuebin looked at Fang Shuiling, "No reaction from your family at all?"
Fang Shuiling lowered his head, "It's not that there was no response. My sister-in-law also flew back yesterday. She probably wanted to discuss the matter again, but they haven't talked to me, 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 upon hearing this, "Brother Dong, then, what should we do?"
Xie Hao patted Fang Shuiling on the shoulder like a little adult, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can't do for me Brother-in-law? Didn't my family say that I should just let you do it? I, Brother-in-law, will go to your house to discuss the engagement. It will definitely be okay. Hehe, even if it doesn't work out, you can just get the marriage certificate from my brother. If your family locks you up and won't let you go, then Just let me, 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 many guards and good security facilities in your home, there is no way anyone can be my Brother-in-law's opponent. Who doesn't know my Brother-in-law's combat prowess? Don't even think about taking action. I, Brother-in-law, can scare them with just my name."
Xie Jing slapped Xiao Hao on the head angrily, "What are you talking about? What are you thinking about all day long when you are fighting and killing? Can this matter be solved like that?"
Xie Ran bowed slightly to Dong Xuebin, "Brother-in-law, please this time."
"Don't worry, I'll try my best." Dong Xuebin said and walked in, "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 up and down to follow him, but Xie Jing grabbed him and refused to let him in.
inside the house.
Sure enough, there was thick smoke.
Han Jing looked to the side and said, "Stop smoking, you'll get choked."
Ci Lifen covered his mouth and coughed twice, got up and opened the window.
After the sister-in-law spoke, Xie Guoliang and Xie Guojian quickly put out their cigarette butts. The elder brother Xie Guobang was about to light a cigarette when he heard the sound and put the cigarette back.
The door opened. The Power of Time and Wealth 1945
"Dad, mom, uncle, aunt, Second Uncle's second aunt." Dong Xuebin came in and started calling people.
Han Jing then showed a smile, "Xiao Bin is here, come and see mom, eh, why have you lost weight, and the food over there is not good?" He pulled Dong Xuebin to greet him.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "The food is very good, but I am a bit busy at work and must be tired. Hey, actually I don't feel any thinner at all. I am 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 in a while. 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 then became more serious, "I know, uncle, I heard Hui Lan 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, "It's okay, auntie, there are people in the county keeping an eye on you. It doesn't matter if I'm missing. Xiao Ran's lifelong events must be the most important. No matter how busy I am, I have to come back."
Xia Yanzhen sighed, "Oh, Xiao Ran, this child 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 was still He slapped the table and stared at us." After saying that, Xia Yanzhen also showed a complicated smile. This may be because of 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 Xiao Ran 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 his own business, but... why does it have to be from the Fang family? I think Sun Family's little girl is not bad."
Xie Guoliang also had the same expression. 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 Xuebin go over and negotiate?"
Xie Guoliang hummed and said to Dong Xuebin, "Sorry to trouble you Xiao Bin."
"Look at your politeness Second Uncle, I will definitely try my best." Dong Xuebin said, "But I don't know how to negotiate. Should I go directly to Fang's house? Then talk about Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling's engagement? What if they don't agree? Or they won't let me in at all?"
The 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 disagree? Ahem, you all know my temper. Sometimes I am impulsive, so I'm afraid I won't handle it properly. Don't delay Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling's life-long event."
Han Jing patted the back of the hand of Dong Xuebin who was sitting next to her, and said warmly, "If there is no agreement over there, forget it, but if you can fight for it, let's fight for it. What Old Master means is that Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling are in love. It is the children's own decision. We make it. The elders should not interfere too much. Secondly, our family has long had a feud with the Fang family, but if we can really ease the relationship through this matter, it will have a positive impact on the family politically, so Old Master acquiesces to this matter. There is no problem 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, "Okay, since everyone trusts me so much, then I must be fine. There are other matters regarding 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 need to feel pressure. Let's talk about it first and see their attitude. If Guo Liang and I can't come forward, you can fully represent us."
Dong Xuebin can only bite the bullet and respond.
