Afternoon.
It's half past one.
Upstairs in the Fang family villa, only Dong Xuebin could be heard chattering away. Sometimes he was so stunned that he didn't even take a breath.
Talk and talk.
Poor, poor. The Power of Time and Wealth 1949
This guy used his language skills to the fullest.
Old Master Fang has already expressed his attitude, saying that Xiao Ling is not yet able to bear the burden of marriage responsibilities. In fact, it is a polite refusal. Calling so many elders and juniors of the Fang family into the room does not show the importance of Dong Xuebin., Dong Xuebin is definitely not worthy of such a large-scale reception from the Fang family. Not to mention that the relationship between the Fang family and Xie Family itself is extremely poor. Old Master Fang may have done this because of Old Master Xie That call, since Dong Xuebin was calling on behalf of the Xie Family this time, and it was a happy event like a marriage proposal, the reason for calling the family together to discuss and then reject the call was also out of sympathy for Old Master Xie, the former General Secretary, and Xie Family It's just the most basic respect. After all, although the two families are at odds with each other, they have never waged an all-out war without stopping, because politics and various factors do not allow for such a large-scale political struggle. The superficial calm needs to be maintained, and things must be done in order to save face.
But Dong Xuebin didn't seem to understand what Mr. Fang meant by doing this. He seemed to understand nothing and was still chirping. Moreover, this guy was always very cheerful, completely ignoring the hostile looks of the younger generations of the Fang family and several female family members, as if he didn't see it. "Grandpa Fang, uncles and aunts, , I think so. Now Xiaoran is on the right track politically, and Xiaoling is about to start work. Now is the time when they both have free time, so it is perfect to get engaged and get married. If Xiaoran is busy at work later, it will be more tiring to do things at that time."
Everything will be done!
Didn't you listen to a word I co-wrote?
"I said Secretary Dong." A junior from the Fang family stood up and also called Dong Xuebin's official position. His distant attitude was clear at a glance, "My grandfather has made it very clear that before my sister got married, we accepted your family's kindness, but this matter..."
Dong Xuebin blinked and said, "I didn't say marriage? I said engagement. It's not time to get married, so we have to get engaged first. We'll get married when the time comes. We actually have the same intention."
You - uncle!
Who has the same idea as you!
The younger generation of the Fang family was speechless at that time!
The boss of the Fang family spoke, "Little Dong, please come back."
Dong Xuebin said in surprise, "Our date hasn't been decided yet."
What are you talking about? Can you understand what we are saying? I have always heard rumors about Dong Xuebin. They probably already knew what kind of person this was, but when they met in person, they were still a little speechless. After talking for a long time, you didn't take it to heart at all??
A female family member frowned and said, "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? Haven't we made it clear enough? Xiao Ling will not marry into your family! Leave now!"
"Liu Er." Old Master Fang glanced at her, "Why are you talking to the guests?"
The woman shrank her neck and said, "Dad, I'm sorry."
You can tell. The tutors in the Fang family are very good. Except for Second Sister-in-law, who is a bit hot-tempered, the other elders have also maintained basic restraint towards members of this political rival family. After all, they are all high-level officials. This kind of self-restraint is still there, and as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Dong Xuebin came to propose marriage happily with sincerity, so they shouldn't go too far. Otherwise, if others find out, you won't be able to find fault with them. Now they just want to put this matter away peacefully, but the problem is that this Dong Xuebin was born, he pretends not to hear anything, is extremely shameless, and is a bit of a rogue.
Look, Dong Xuebin was talking again, looking at Fang Shuiling's father and mother, "Third uncle, third aunt, you two elders should also know the children's wishes, Xiao Ling and Xiao Ran It's a true free love, and the special affection between each other makes me envious. They are a perfect match. I wonder if we can find a time to make a date? If not, let's make a date. I think it will be this month!"
Third uncle? The Power of Time and Wealth 1949
Third aunt?
What you call is too kissy, isn't it?
A junior couldn't stand it anymore, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm going downstairs."
Dong Xuebin I was stunned to hear that one of them was gone alive. You can just say that this guy left people speechless.
Xiao Ling's mother snorted, but because Old Master was present, she didn't say anything rude.
Xiao Ling's father looked expressionless, and it was hard to tell what his attitude was towards this matter.
In the end, it was the boss of the Fang family who concluded, "Little Dong, you know what we mean. Go back and convey it to your family. It's getting late. Old Master still has to take a nap. If you want to stay for a cup of tea, just sit down. You want to..."
Before he could say his farewell words, Dong Xuebin said, "Well, since you invited me, I'll stay and have a cup of tea. I'll be fine if I go back anyway."
Fang family. "..."
I'm just being polite, do you really agree?
I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned!
One of Fang Shuiling's sisters burst out laughing, thinking that the legendary and amazing Dong Xuebin was really amazing, it was so funny.
Dong Xuebin turned around and said, "Grandpa Fang, I won't disturb your lunch break."
After saying that, Dong Xuebin left the house. Seeing that no one greeted him, he went downstairs by himself.
Only the Fang family members were left in the room, and Fang Wenping was still reading a book silently in the corner without moving.
Everyone knew that Old Master was going to rest at this time, so they all left one after another, but before everyone could go out, Old Master Fang looked in the direction of Fang Wenping, "Wen Ping, why don't you say a word? This is not your style. Haha, what do you think about this?"
Fang Wenping said calmly, "I didn't watch much."
Old Master Fang smiled and said, "Do you think it was inappropriate for me to refuse?"
Fang Wenping looked at the book without raising his head, "I didn't say that."
"You have always regarded Xiao Ling as your own daughter. I know you want your child to be happy, and so do I, but there are some things..." Old Master Fang said.
Fang Wenping interrupted him. Fang Wenping was the only one in the whole family who dared to interrupt Old Master. She closed the book in her hand with a snap and said, "You don't have to tell me this. I don't have any objections here. It's up to you to decide. What do you take?" Any idea will work." Fang Wenping paused and looked up at them, "But I leave it here. If something goes wrong with Xiao Ling and causes irreparable harm to the child, then don't blame me Fang Wenping for turning your back on me!"
What a shame, boss! " The Power of Time and Wealth 1949
Fang Wenping looked at him, "I didn't just tell dad, I told everyone."
When the younger generation saw their sister-in-law going crazy, no one dared to say a word. No one in the family knew about their sister-in-law's temper and character. She was a bastard among bastards, and many times, there was no sense in her dictionary. There was no way to talk about this with her.
Lao Dadao: "Did you ever talk like that? Who doesn't do it for the good of the children? Do you think you are the only one who cares about Xiao Ling?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Second Brother came out to smooth things over and said, "Brother, Fifth Brother, please say less, say less."
The eldest sister-in-law also pushed the eldest brother and said, "You keep yelling at your sister, you don't act like a big brother at all."
The family members were obviously used to Fang Wenping's temper, so there were no surprises. Old Master Fang even laughed a little after hearing this, looked at Fang Wenping and said, "Wen Ping, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Fang Wenping said calmly, "I don't know."
Old Master Fang said with a smile, "You don't make up your mind, and if you are not satisfied with someone else's decision, then you are being unreasonable."
Fang Wenping put the book on the table and said, "Many people have said this about me, but I always think that I am quite reasonable."
Fang Shuiling's father sighed, "Xiao Ling's side is indeed... This child has been very obedient to us since she was a child. This is the first time she has such a big idea. Xiao Ling looks soft and gentle, but she is actually very stubborn in her bones. I'm afraid that Xiao Ling's side won't accept it."
After hearing this, Fang Shuiling's mother also looked worried.
The boss asked, "Third brother, what you mean is about Xiao Ling and Xie Ran, do you agree?"
Fang Shuiling's father said, "I didn't say that, I'm just worried that Xiao Ling's rebound will be too big, so our dad still has to make the decision on this matter."
Old Master Fang smiled and said, "Then let's take a look again."
Second Sister-in-law heard this and immediately said, "Dad, you..."
If you didn't agree just now, why do you want to wait and see again now?
But if you think about it carefully, Old Master's previous words were all full of wealth, and he didn't say anything to death. It was obviously intentional, and I don't know what Old Master was thinking.
Lao Dadao: "What do you mean?"
"Okay, let's all disperse. "Old Master Fang waved his hand, "I'm just going to take a day off today. I finally have some free time and I need to have a good sleep. "Old Master is probably busier than everyone here combined. After all, given his status, it is rare to find time to rest for a day.
Everyone took a look and said nothing more, so they all said goodbye, left the house and went downstairs.
"What do you mean dad?"
"Have no idea."
"Dad must have his own considerations, let's not guess."
"I still have something to do here, brother, third brother, I'm going back to the unit first."
"I have to go too, let's go together. You can give me a ride and I won't drive."
Everyone went downstairs, and then they saw Dong Xuebin sitting alone in the living room, drinking tea leisurely. He obviously poured it by himself, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all!
