When Ran Bingbing and Xu Yingping arrived at Luan Xiaoxue's house, Luan Xiaoxue was still busy in the kitchen, but Li Xiaomei and Xiao Wang were already sitting in the living room, watching TV. The moment Ran Bingbing saw Li Xiaomei, she was stunned. This woman looked so familiar, but she quickly smiled warmly and said casually, "Xiaoxue, I'm here."
Luan Xiaoxue quickly came out of the kitchen, and while greeting Ran Bingbing and Xu Yingping, she pointed to Li Xiaomei and said, "This is Director Li from the Environmental Protection Bureau, the first sister I met when I came back to my hometown. Today, I invited her to accompany the guests, you guys have to drink as much as you want."
Ran Bingbing took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xiaomei and said, "It's our honor to have Director Li accompany us." As she said this, she glanced at Luan Xiaoxue, and Luan Xiaoxue had a smile on her face, looking very happy. She obviously didn't know that Ma Yingjie had been taken away, but didn't this Director Li know that Ma Yingjie had been taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Wasn't this Director Li Xiaomei, who Ma Yingjie had saved the damsel in distress last time? Ran Bingbing finally remembered why she was at Luan Xiaoxue's house.
Li Xiaomei tried to calm down and shook hands with Ran Bingbing, and deliberately said with an exaggerated smile, "Reporter Ran is so young, beautiful, and talented, your future must be limitless, I'm so jealous."
Words of praise were beautiful to the ears, and Ran Bingbing smiled even more brightly after hearing Li Xiaomei's praise. At this time, Xu Yingping interrupted, "Director Ran is a great beauty, and also a great talent. This interview taught me a lot of knowledge."
Ran Bingbing pretended to casually look at Xu Yingping and said, "Xiao Xu, you only know how to say nice things. Director Li is so beautiful, look at that red apple-like face, if I were a man, I would be heartbroken at first sight."
"They are all beauties, all beautiful." Xu Yingping laughed. This time, when he followed Ran Bingbing to the county, Ran Bingbing had indeed given him a lot of guidance and experience. During the interview, Ran Bingbing accompanied Ran Bingbing the whole time, and all the key questions were asked by Ran Bingbing. This made Xu Yingping admire Ran Bingbing. He originally thought that Ran Bingbing was promoted to Deputy Director because of her pretty face, he did not expect that Ran Bingbing was really talented, so after the interview, Xu Yingping wanted to praise Ran Bingbing to everyone he met.
Xiao Wang saw that the women were praising each other, so she stood up and went to the kitchen to help Luan Xiaoxue serve the dishes. Luan Xiaoxue had made a table full of dishes. Because of Ma Yingjie, Li Xiaomei paid close attention to Ran Bingbing. Ran Bingbing did not act out of the ordinary. When the dishes were served one after another, Ran Bingbing was touched. She went to the kitchen and said to Luan Xiaoxue, "Luan Xiaoxue, don't be so busy, let's eat together."
Luan Xiaoxue nodded and walked to the living room with Ran Bingbing. She looked up at the clock in the living room and said, "Ma Yingjie should be back soon. You guys take a seat first, I'll call Ma Yingjie."
Ran Bingbing's face changed. Li Xiaomei soon saw that Ran Bingbing really knew that Ma Yingjie had been taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Li Xiaomei quickly stood up and pulled Luan Xiaoxue to her side, saying, "Luan Xiaoxue, come, sit down and eat. Don't call County Magistrate Ma. He's the leader. I'll be under pressure when he comes back. "
Ran Bingbing glanced at Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei had already pulled Luan Xiaoxue to a chair intimately and said to Xiao Wang, "Open the wine." Li Xiaomei was very flattering to Luan Xiaoxue, which made Ran Bingbing feel very uncomfortable. Yes, Luan Xiaoxue was now the wife of a government official. Although she was the deputy director of the Reporter Department, she was nothing in Li Xiaomei's eyes.
Then, Li Xiaomei acted like the host. She accompanied Ran Bingbing and Xu Yingping to drink, and took care of Luan Xiaoxue to eat. The wine was red wine. Ran Bingbing asked Luan Xiaoxue to drink some, but Li Xiaomei said, "Reporter Ran is a famous reporter. You've been to many places, so you must be good at drinking. Let's drink more today. Luan Xiaoxue is now a national treasure. You can't drink this wine. " Li Xiaomei smiled and pulled Luan Xiaoxue's hand. Luan Xiaoxue's face suddenly turned red. Li Xiaomei said, "Look, Luan Xiaoxue is so charming when she's shy. No wonder the County Magistrate dotes on you so much. If I were a man, I would also dote on you."
Li Xiaomei's words pierced Ran Bingbing's heart. The little bit of emotion that had just arisen quickly disappeared. She found an excuse to go to the washroom and sent a message to Su Xiaoyang, "Li Xiaomei, the director of environmental protection in Qin County, is a suspicious person." After sending the message, Ran Bingbing returned to the table, raised her wine glass and said, "Director Li is so concerned about my classmate. I thank you on behalf of Luan Xiaoxue. I'll drink this glass of wine. Director Li, watch and drink." Then, she raised her head and drank the whole glass of wine.
"Director Ran is such a good drinker. Of course, I'll drink to Director Ran's toast." Li Xiaomei also drank her wine.
Ran Bingbing smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Li." Then, she turned to Xu Yingping and said, "Xiao Xu, help me give a toast to Director Li."
Xu Yingping also filled his glass, raised his glass and said to Li Xiaomei, "Director Li, please take care of me." Then, he also drank his wine. Ran Bingbing looked at Li Xiaomei with a smile. Li Xiaomei deliberately said, "I'm here to accompany the guests today. It's my duty to accompany the two big reporters. I'll risk my life to accompany the gentlemen." Then, she drank another glass of wine.
"Director Li is really a heroine. I admire you very much. But we still have to rush back to Wu Du, so we can't drink with Director Li today. My classmate is a foolish person with a foolish fortune. I thank Director Li again for taking care of me. " Ran Bingbing said and raised his glass. Li Xiaomei then suggested a reunion drink. Luan Xiaoxue had never been good at saying polite words. Fortunately, Li Xiaomei was here. Besides, Ran Bingbing had been speaking up for her today, so she was a little grateful to Ran Bingbing. So, she said to Ran Bingbing, "Bing Bing, bring Yanling along next time. I'll make some authentic chicken soup for you. Sister Li, come next time too. We women can chat and drink together."
"Okay. I'll definitely drag Yanling along next time. " Ran Bingbing smiled brightly. When Li Xiaomei saw Ran Bingbing smile like this, she felt that there was something in that smile, but she couldn't tell what it was. So, she suggested a reunion drink again. She had to send Ran Bingbing away as soon as possible. As long as Ran Bingbing was sent away, Luan Xiaoxue would be safe.
After the reunion drink, Luan Xiaoxue was busy serving food to everyone. Ran Bingbing didn't eat, and Xu Yingping didn't dare to eat either. Ran Bingbing said goodbye to Luan Xiaoxue. Luan Xiaoxue wanted to say something, but Li Xiaomei said, "Director Ran and reporter Xu, be careful on the way. When you arrive at Wu Du, tell Luan Xiaoxue that you're safe." Then, she stood up. Ran Bingbing also stood up and walked out. Li Xiaomei went to see Ran Bingbing and Xu Yingping off. Luan Xiaoxue also wanted to see them off, but Li Xiaomei stopped her. She said, "You've been busy all morning, and you must be tired. Let Xiaowang help you clean up. I'll see Director Ran off."
"Luan Xiaoxue, you don't have to be so polite. We're friends. " Ran Bingbing was still smiling, but the more Ran Bingbing was like this, the more Li Xiaomei felt uneasy. She had to send Ran Bingbing away as soon as possible.
Li Xiaomei went downstairs to see Ran Bingbing and Xu Yingping off. Luan Xiaoxue tried to dial Ma Yingjie's phone, but she couldn't get through to Ma Yingjie's phone. Luan Xiaoxue thought she had dialed the wrong number, so she tried again, but she still couldn't get through. This was rare for Ma Yingjie. Where did he go?
Luan Xiaoxue was puzzled.
After a while, Li Xiaomei came upstairs. Luan Xiaoxue asked Li Xiaomei, "Sister Li, why can't I get through to Ma Yingjie's phone?"
Li Xiaomei hesitated for a moment. She didn't know how to tell Luan Xiaoxue. Seeing that Li Xiaomei didn't say anything, Luan Xiaoxue asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Ma Yingjie?"
Seeing that Luan Xiaoxue was so anxious, Li Xiaomei didn't dare to tell Luan Xiaoxue the truth, so she said, "I heard in the morning that the villagers in Ma Miao Village are making trouble because of the construction of a chemical plant. Mayor Ma of the County Magistrate went to the countryside. Ma Miao Village is very remote. I guess the signal is bad."
"Causing trouble again. Ma Ying Jie won't be beaten up again, right?" Luan Xiaoxue was still worried. Li Xiaomei knew that it took a good lie. She wanted to comfort Luan Xiaoxue, but she made Luan Xiaoxue worry. She could only say, "Luan Xiaoxue, don't worry. This time, a lot of people went to the police station. What happened last time won't happen again. "
"That's good." Luan Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaowang had already brought all the dishes in the living room to the kitchen. Luan Xiaoxue went into the kitchen to clean up. Seeing a lot of leftover dishes, she returned to the living room and asked Li Xiaomei, "Has Lili eaten? Do you want me to bring these dishes to her? "
As soon as Luan Xiaoxue said that, Li Xiaomei called her sister. If she and Lili didn't have anything to eat, she wouldn't stand on ceremony and bring some back. She rarely cooked, and she didn't like to cook.
Li Xiaomei dialed her sister's phone, but it couldn't get through. She hurriedly called home, but no one answered. Not good, something must have happened. Li Xiaomei hurriedly said to Xiaowang, "Let's go." Then she ran downstairs. Luan Xiaoxue was anxious and asked, "What happened?"
Li Xiaomei had to stop and turn back to Luan Xiaoxue and said, "You must take good care of yourself. I think something happened to Lili."
Luan Xiaoxue widened her eyes in horror. When she wanted to say something, Li Xiaomei and Xiaowang had already run downstairs.
Luan Xiaoxue walked around the house restlessly. She dialed Ma Yingjie's number every minute, but Ma Yingjie's phone always said coldly, "The number you dialed cannot be reached."
"How could this be? Is it Bing Bing's fault again? " Luan Xiaoxue remembered that she told Ran Bingbing that Li Xiaomei was the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. She was so stupid. Why did she tell Ran Bingbing that Li Xiaomei was the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau?
Luan Xiaoxue called Ran Bingbing. When the phone was connected, Ran Bingbing's lazy voice came through, "Who is it?"
"Bing Bing, this is Luan Xiaoxue." Luan Xiaoxue said eagerly.
Ran Bingbing knew that it was Luan Xiaoxue's phone call, but she asked on purpose. Seeing Luan Xiaoxue's anxiety, she guessed that it must be about Ma Yingjie, so she said slowly, "Xiaoxue, thank you for your cooking. It was so delicious. I will come again with Yanling next time. "Ran Bingbing chatted on the phone.
The more Ran Bingbing acted like this, the more anxious Luan Xiaoxue was. She felt that Lili's matter must have something to do with her. As a woman, why did Ran Bingbing become so cruel?
