Night.
Street Dormitory, Geng Family's house.
The setting sun shines on the living room's windows. Geng Xuebing's father is reading the newspaper on the sofa, and Geng Xuebing's mother is picking lentils beside him.
Ding Dong … ding dong … the doorbell rang.
Geng Xuebing's mother put down the lentils in her hands. "Xinke is back."
Geng Xuebing's father replied angrily. "So be it."
"Let me tell you." Geng Xuebing's mother frowned. "Don't give me that face!"
"I've lost all my face because of your son! Do I still have any face left? "
"The incident had already happened." Geng Xuebing's mother replied angrily. "What else do you want our son to do?"
Geng Xuebing's father shook the evening newspaper in his hand. "I will read my newspaper."
"Read it!" Geng Xuebing's mother opened the door and sighed. "I have a worrying life. I spent the first half of my life worrying about you, and the second half worrying about Xinke. Sigh … it's better to have a daughter. Look at Yuehua. Since young, when did I have to worry about her? If our Xinke is half as mature as Yuehua, my heart won't be in my throat all the time. Look … "
"You don't want me to talk about it, and you are talking about it?" Geng Xuebing's father snorted.
"Alright … I will not talk about it anymore."
The door opened, and Geng Xinke entered. "Dad, Mom."
"You are back?" Geng Xuebing's mother closed the door. "We are preparing dinner. Is your sister coming back for dinner?"
Geng Xinke changed into his slippers. "She should be back. Didn't we say this morning?"
"Then wait for Yuehua to come back." Geng Xuebing's mother saw her son is in a bad mood and frowned. "What's wrong? About the video … does your unit know about it? "
Geng Xinke shook his head and sat on the chair. "No."
Geng Xuebing's mother was stunned. "No one knows about it? Didn't you say it had spread? "
"It should have been suppressed by my sister. It's already gone, and no one knows." Geng Xinke took a sip of water and exhaled. The stone in his heart was finally lifted.
Geng Xuebing's mother looks at Dong Xuebing. "Your sister had found the video and disk for you, and it was not publicized. Why are you still like this? Oh, did the District Government punish you for fighting with Dong Xuebing? Administrative punishment? Or something else? "
Geng Xinke paused. "There's no punishment."
Mr. Geng put down the newspaper. "You didn't receive any punishment for such a big incident?"
"Maybe my sister stopped him, and I did not hit Dong Xuebing. It's not a big deal."
"That's good." Mother Geng heaved a sigh of relief. "When your sister comes back later, remember to thank her properly. If it wasn't for your sister wiping your ass, you …"
"I understand." Geng Xinke was very grateful to his sister as he had caused trouble for her. But at the same time, he was angry with Dong Xuebing. "It's all thanks to my sister this time. If not, Dong Xuebing will bring the DVD to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even if nothing happens in the end, I will still be embarrassed. Pingping is a woman, and if Dong Xuebing makes a fuss about this, Pingping will …" Geng Xinke was very grateful to his sister.
Geng Xuebing's mother heard this and scolded angrily. "This Dong Xuebing doesn't look like a leader. My son is dating a normal person, and why did he get involved? That Dong Xuebing just wants to stir up trouble! You didn't see him earlier, but I met him on my way home. Dong Xuebing even greeted me warmly. Is he doing this on purpose? I just turned around and left, ignoring him! "
Geng Xinke's father shook his head and did not say anything.
Geng Xinke's mother replied. "Dong Xuebing had bullied us several times. I will speak to your sister tonight. She can't take it anymore! Your sister is a District Chief, and she can't do anything to a Street Office Director! "
Geng Xinke wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Geng Xinke's mother asked. "Tell me."
Geng Xinke sighed. "Mum, I don't know what my sister is thinking. Why do I feel she is getting closer to Dong Xuebing? In the past, my sister will not say anything when I mention Dong Xuebing. But recently, whenever I mention Dong Xuebing, my sister will fall out with me and find an excuse to scold me. "Dong Xuebing smiled." I also don't dare to talk back. You think this matter … "
Geng Xinke's mother waved her hand. "No. Dong Xuebing had bullied you, and your sister will remove him from her position."
"That's why I don't understand." Geng Xinke replied helplessly. "Before I got off work, I received news that the District had allocated funds to our district and even gave us policies to support Dong Xuebing's earthquake drill. What drill? This is nonsense!"
"The District approved it?"
"It's my sister's signature."
"Your sister?" Geng Xinke's parents frowned. "What is Yuehua trying to do?"
Although Geng Xinke's parents felt their son was responsible for this incident, he is still their own flesh and blood. Even after scolding Geng Xinke for the past two days, Geng Xinke's parents will still stand on their son's side. That's why they are furious with Dong Xuebing for stirring up trouble. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing and their son had grudges in the past, and they had blamed Dong Xuebing for this incident. But who would have thought Yuehua would support Dong Xuebing?
Suddenly, the door opened, and Geng Yuehua, in a suit, returned home.
Geng Xinke immediately walks up to her. "Sis, why are you so early?"
Geng Yuehua nodded. "There are not many things in the District, and I came back early. Have you eaten? "
"No. I was waiting for you." Geng Xinke looks at his mother. "Mum, are you going to cook?"
Geng Xinke's mother did not move and looked at her daughter. "Yuehua, come over. I want to ask you something."
Geng Yuehua put down her bag, nodded, and sat down. "What is it?"
Geng Xinke's mother's face changed. "You know what happened between Dong Xuebing and your brother. Why didn't you help your brother? Why are you still so close to him?"
Geng Yuehua raised her brows. "What do you mean?"
"Don't act dumb. Xinke had told me everything." Geng Xinke's mother gave her a stare. "Are you the one who approved the funds? Are you the one who approved the earthquake drill policy? "
Geng Yuehua replied emotionlessly. "Let's eat. Let's not talk about this."
"I am asking you a question. Finish your meal before you eat." Geng Xinke's mother pulled her back. "What do you think you are doing?"
Geng Yuehua looks at her mother. "I know what I am doing. Don't interfere."
Geng Xinke's mother is furious. "Your brother's reputation is ruined by that Dong Xuebing! What do you know? If you know what you are doing, you should help your brother punish him! "
Geng Yuehua waved her hand. "I don't want to talk about this today. Can we eat?"
Geng Xinke saw his mother and sister are about to start a fight and quickly stopped them. "Mum, Sis, let's eat first. We can talk while we eat."
"No." Geng Xinke's mother's temper flared. "Let your sister explain! If she doesn't explain, no one is allowed to eat! "
Geng Xinke looked at his sister and said. "Sis, I should not be the one saying this. Actually, I also feel that the earthquake drill is too much. Why did it become an earthquake all of a sudden? What drill is there if nothing happened? The Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Day had passed a long time ago. If they were to do this with great fanfare at this time, wouldn't people be gossiping that they were being formalistic? But why did you … "
Geng Xinke's parents also look at Geng Yuehua.
All of a sudden, Geng Xinke seems to be in conflict.
Geng Yuehua's eyes are burning with anger, and she pulled a long face. "Let bygones be bygones! I don't want to talk about this anymore! Why? You are asking me why? Fine! Let me tell you why! " Geng Yuehua looked at Geng Xinke in his eyes. "You think I am the one who suppressed the DVD incident? That's why no one in Nanshan District knows about it? Really? "
Geng Xinke was stunned. "No?"
Geng Yuehua replied coldly. "Even if I am the District Mayor! I can't control the public's gossip! Do you think everyone will not know about it just because I say something? Do you think this is possible? "
"Then …"
"The moment this incident happened! It's Xiao Dong who suppressed this incident! He had issued a 'gag order' to the Discipline Committee! After that, Xiao Dong came to me without saying anything! He gave me the DVD! Other than the two of us and your Discipline Committee's Secretary! No one else knows about this incident! That's why you can go to work peacefully today! This is the reason why no rumors are spreading! "
Geng Xinke was stunned.
Geng Xinke's parents were also stunned.
Geng Yuehua points to her brother. "Let's talk about the videotape incident! You think I am the one who found it for you? You think I am the one who investigated this incident for you? It's Xiao Dong! He knows it's not convenient for me to show up and did not even have lunch! He rushed to Donghai District's hotel! He spent the whole afternoon investigating this incident! That's why he brought the DVD and videotape back for you! That's why the incident did not spread! "
Geng Xinke was stunned. "This … …"
Geng Yuehua looked at him coldly. "Let's talk about you hitting Xiao Dong! Do you know why this incident was left unsettled? Do you know why the District did not punish you? Do you think this incident is not a big deal? It's Xiao Dong who spoke to the Discipline Committee's Secretary, Wu Liang! He said you did not hit him at that time! He said you did not grab him by the collar! He said the both of you had an argument because of work! That's why you can stand here and talk to your sister! That's why you did not get any punishment! "
Geng Yuehua's mother exclaimed. "Yuehua, this … …"
"Sis!" Geng Xinke asked in disbelief. "Is this true?"
Geng Yuehua replied with a straight face. "Xiao Dong had been wiping your ass from the start! You still hit him?! Touch your conscience and ask yourself! What is this? Didn't you ask me why I gave Xiao Dong policy support? Tell me why! Now you tell me why! Tell me! Tell me! "
Geng Xinke slapped himself on the head and let out a cry of pain.
So, this is the reason!
Geng Xinke finally understood!
