Next day.
Early in the morning.
Dong Xuebing woke up at 7 am. He had been sleeping late and waking up early for the past few days, and this habit had developed. That's why even though he slept with his wife until 12 am, Dong Xuebing still woke up early. He looked at Xie Huilan, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and covered her with the blanket. After that, he got out of bed and put on his shoes before leaving the bedroom quietly. He went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Xie Huilan.
Porridge.
Eggs.
Although Dong Xuebing had to do all the chores at home, he felt satisfied and not tired. He even felt happy. It's not bad to be able to live a normal life with his wife. After he gets the position of Deputy Chief, he might need to rest for a period of time to enjoy his life. He is looking forward to having his wife and children by his side.
After a while.
"Huilan! Huilan! "Dong Xuebing shouted upstairs.
After a while, Xie Huilan walked downstairs and covered her mouth as she yawned. "Breakfast is ready? Ah … I still want to sleep more. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Go and wash up."
Xie Huilan nodded and went to the first-floor bathroom to brush her teeth.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's phone rang, and it was his mother-in-law, Han Jing. He quickly put the phone to his ear. "Mum."
Han Jing asked. "Are you awake?"
"Yes, and I am about to have breakfast." Dong Xuebing replied.
Han Jing nodded. "Have you heard from Huilan?"
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Ah? What did she say? "
"She did not tell you. This child … " Han Jing replied helplessly. "I called Huilan, and she said she will be going to your County within these two days. I asked her to pass the message to you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Huilan is brushing her teeth now. Mum, what's wrong?"
Han Jing thought for a while. "You can ask Huilan later. I can't explain it clearly over the phone."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Don't do this. Just tell me. I am a sensitive person, and I will not be able to eat if I don't understand."
Han Jing smiled. "It's about Xiao Ran."
On the other side, Xie Huilan came out of the bathroom and wiped her face with a towel. "Is it my mother? Yeah, I'll tell you. "
Han Jing replied over the phone. "Ok. Let Huilan speak to him. Anyway, it's not urgent. It's fine if you are busy. But I heard you had just completed a successful investment. After being busy for so long, he should be able to rest for a few days, right? You should come back when you have time. "
The call ended.
Dong Xuebing still does not understand. "What's wrong with Xiao Ran?"
Xie Huilan placed the towel on the chair and sat down for lunch. "Let's talk while we eat. Our family knows about Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling's relationship. They had been dating for almost a year, and it's impossible to hide it. Not only our family, but the Fangs also know about it."
Dong Xuebing asked. "And?"
I called you to tell you about this a few days ago, but you are busy with your business. I don't know about the Fang Family, but Xiao Ran's parents are against it. They are unhappy about Xiao Jing's relationship with Sun Kai, and they agreed to let Xiao Jing and Sun Kai be in a relationship after they saw Sun Kai risking his life to save Xiao Jing. But Xiao Ran is different. He is our third generation's eldest grandson, and our family is very concerned about his marriage. Xiao Ling should be fine as her family background is similar to ours, and they are considered a good match. But you should know about our family's relationship with the Fang Family. If Xiao Ling had changed her surname, our family will surely agree to this marriage. But her surname is Fang. "Dong Xuebing nodded and said," What else? Of course they don't agree to this, and this happened a few days ago. At that time, you were busy with your business, and I called you to tell you about this. But you are too busy, so I didn't tell you.
Dong Xuebing asked. "What happened in the end?"
"After that, Xiao Ran brought Xiao Ling home and argued with his family. He even slammed the table and fell out with his family. I had watched him grow up, and he doesn't have any boldness and lacks decisiveness. After going down to the grassroots level for so long, Xiao Ran has become more mature. Haha … Xiao Ran's reaction is about the same as when I brought you home for the first time. In the end, Senior Fang came downstairs and called Senior Fang in front of everyone. He said, 'Old man, let's not implicate our children.' I don't know what Senior Fang said, but our grandfather agreed to it. He even held Xiao Ling's hand and chatted with her for a long time. Xiao Ran's parents couldn't say anything."
Dong Xuebing is also happy for Xie Ran. "That means it's settled?"
"It's not that simple." Xie Huilan shook her head. "We still don't know what the Fang family's attitude is. Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling want to get engaged, and our family had agreed to it. But the Fang family had not expressed their stance and did not say anything. Someone must go and negotiate with them."
Dong Xuebing understood what Xie Huilan meant and asked. "Ah? Are you asking me to go? "
Xie Huilan laughed. "That's right. If not, should I go?"
"Why can't you go?" Dong Xuebing replied. "You are the Eldest Sister."
Xie Huilan waved her hand. "I am the Eldest Sister in the family, but how can a woman like me handle such an important matter? This is a marriage between two feuding families, and many people are watching. My family had discussed this matter with you, and it is also Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling who suggested this. My family believes in your ability to handle this matter."
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "But I am your son-in-law, and my surname is not Xie. How can I represent your family to handle such an important matter? This is not appropriate. "
Xie Huilan replied. "It's because your surname is not Xie, and you did not have any political conflicts with the Fang family. That's why our family felt you are the most suitable person to handle this matter. If my father or my Second Uncle were to go to the Fang family, all the grudges will resurface. Also, I heard from Xiao Ling that your relationship with her Youngest Aunt is quite good now. This is also a way to ease the tension. "
Dong Xuebing is thankful for his family's trust in him, but he still feels burdened. "Should I return to Beijing?"
"You can decide when you are free these two weeks, and it's better to settle this matter as soon as possible." Xie Huilan replied.
