Dong Xuebing had always been a special person in the Xie Family.
In most families, the relatives with the same surname will be valued. After all, they are the direct relatives, and the traditional values are there. Son-in-law and grandson-in-law who do not have the same surname will keep a low profile, especially in a political family like the Xie Family. Everyone respects this tradition, but Dong Xuebing is an exception. At home, Dong Xuebing had shouted at Senior Xie. Outside, Dong Xuebing had caused lots of trouble. He had beaten up his leaders, scolded his colleagues, and offended many people. By right, Dong Xuebing should not be welcomed at home. But the truth is the opposite. No one dares to say Dong Xuebing's status in the Xie Family is higher than Xie Ran, Xie Jing, and Xie Hao. Although no one had said it, everyone knows it.
Why?
The reason is simple.
It's because no one can replace Dong Xuebing's position in the Xie Family.
Senior Xie is bedridden, and Dong Xuebing had treated him within minutes. Zhong Lizhen, who Han Jing treats as her biological sister, is under house arrest at Fuzhou's research facility, and Dong Xuebing can kill her and bring her back. Xie Guojian's promotion is because of the hard drive Dong Xuebing brought back from Fuzhou. Now, Xie Ran is getting married and cannot give him any betrothal gifts. Dong Xuebing can settle the 100 million RMB gift without saying a word. Now, Senior Xie wants to make an exception for his great-grandson's 100-day wedding, and Xie Guoliang and Ci Lifen did not say anything. They felt this is the right thing to do.
Dinner is still in progress.
Xie Ran suddenly stood up and raised his glass. "Brother-in-law, let me give you a toast. Thank you, and I will not say anything else."
Dong Xuebing clinked glasses with him. "Don't mention it."
"Cheers." Xie Ran raised his head and downed his glass.
Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Ran and followed suit.
Then, everyone began to talk about Xie Ran's wedding. Although it was just an engagement, it was definitely not a simple matter for a family like theirs. They couldn't be careless. In the end, Dong Xuebing's 100-day wedding banquet is brought up for discussion. This banquet is closer, and they must start now. After dinner, Han Jing called Dong Xuebing's mother to discuss this matter. After all, Dong Xuebing's surname is his, and even if the Xie Family is organizing the wedding, they must also seek Dong Xuebing's family's opinion. In name, Dong Xuebing's family will be the one organizing the wedding banquet for Dong Xuebing.
"Grandpa, I will go now." Dong Xuebing asked.
Senior Xie stroked his beard. "Go."
Dong Xuebing looks at the rest of the elders. "Mum, Uncle, Aunty, Second Aunt, I will go back first."
Han Jing was talking to Dong Xuebing's mother over the phone. She waved to Dong Xuebing. "Ok. Be careful. Don't drive after drinking. Take a taxi."
"What taxi? I will send Brother-in-law to the airport. I will send you."
Dong Xuebing patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder. "Alright. You are getting married, and it's a busy period. It's more convenient for me to hail a cab. Don't send me off."
Xie Ran refused. "I must send him."
Xia Yanzhen laughed. "Xiao Bing, ask Xiao Ran to send you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's fine. Xiao Ran is drunk and cannot drive."
In the end, Dong Xuebing left alone. But Xie Ran had flagged a taxi for him and even opened the door. "Brother-in-law, please drive slowly."
"Alright. Call me if you need anything." Dong Xuebing boarded the car.
After the taxi left, Xie Ran returned to the villa. He is grateful to Dong Xuebing for his help.
… …
Airport.
It's almost dark.
Dong Xuebing did not bring any luggage with him as he entered the airport. He looked at his watch. Oh, there was a traffic jam, and it's almost time to board the plane. So, he quickened his steps to pass the security check and walk towards the boarding gate.
Luckily, it's not too late.
There are still a few dozen people queuing for economy class.
Dong Xuebing is in first class and did not need to queue. He took his boarding pass and ID and boarded the plane half an hour earlier.
"Welcome to this flight."
"Sir, your seat is inside."
The stewardess smiled and pointed to Dong Xuebing's seat.
Dong Xuebing thanked the stewardess and looked at the seat number. He found it and sat down. But when Dong Xuebing looked up, he saw someone familiar sitting opposite him.
It's Fang Wenping!
Dong Xuebing asked. "Why are you here?"
Fang Wenping should have seen Dong Xuebing and was reading a book. She did not even look at Dong Xuebing. "Why can't I be here?"
Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you returning to Shanbei today?"
Fang Wenping replied. "If I'm not returning to Shanbei, why should I take this flight? Do you think I have nothing better to do? "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "We are just chatting, and why are you so anxious? I still have not settled the score with you. Sister Fang, why didn't you answer my calls? I had called you so many times. Oh, you can just call me, and I have to rush over immediately. I had something urgent to do, and you don't even answer my calls? What's the meaning of this? It's fortunate that this matter is settled. If not, you will be a hindrance! It's fine if you can't answer my calls, but you should at least let me know. "
Fang Wenping flipped a page and said indifferently, "If I want to take it, I'll take it. If I don't want to, I won't. Do I need to report to you?"
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "Hey, are you looking for trouble?"
"Who is looking for trouble?" Fang Wenping put down her book and looked at Dong Xuebing.
When the two of them met, they had never been able to have a proper conversation. Every time they met, they would quarrel.
The stewardess noticed this and quickly walks over to stop them. "Sir, madam, let's talk nicely. The plane is about to take off, and please fasten your seatbelts. We should understand each other."
Another stewardess and stewardess walked over.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "It's fine. We are just chatting."
Chatting?
How is this chatting?
The stewardess looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing glanced at Fang Wenping. "Our families are in-laws, and we know each other. Just carry on with your work." After that, Dong Xuebing ignored Fang Wenping and closed his eyes. He was thinking about how he will teach Old Fang a lesson after the flight. We are in public now, and I will not argue with you!
