Chapter 462 – Bringing Huilan home! (1/2)
Afternoon, 4.30 pm.
Before knocking off, Dong Xuebing took a taxi back to the Investment Promotion Agency.
On his way, he received calls from his friends and colleagues asking him about this case and his relationship with Xie Huilan. Hui Tian Police Station, Liu Dahai, the first question after Dong Xuebing answered is, “Is it real?” Beijing Xin Hua Agency Intern Host, Su Jia, also called. “Xuebing, you are quite capable.” There’s no way for him to hide it anymore, and he can only tell them the truth.
Upon arrival, Dong Xuebing paid the driver and entered the Agency.
A few Business Section staff had also returned to the Agency, and they looked at Dong Xuebing in shock.
“Chief.”
“Chief Dong.”
Everyone had heard about it.
Dong Xuebing nodded and went upstairs to his office. Before he could reach for his cigarette, someone knocks on his door.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I was about to find you.”
Luo Haiting smiled wearily. “Chief, I heard…”
“Don’t need to say anymore.” Dong Xuebing smiled. He had repeated the same lines several times today. “It’s true. What else do you want to know? Go ahead and ask.” Seeing Luo Haiting did not say anything, Dong Xuebing continued. “Since you don’t have anything to ask, I will ask. Haha… after I was taken away in the morning, how are the investment fair preparations? Give me a summary of what you all have done. Oh, please get Section Chief Lin, Section Chief Jiang, and the rest over.”
Luo Haiting immediately leaves the office to call the rest of the department heads.
Lin Pingping, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest updated Dong Xuebing on their work while thinking if they should change their attitude.
He is Mayor Xie’s fiancé.
They still cannot accept this!
Dong Xuebing did not change at all. He listened to their updates and reminded them to note certain things before asking them to go home. He lit a cigarette, packed his things, and drove that rundown Santana out of the Agency. He is going back to have dinner with Xie Huilan.
Ring… ring… ring…
Luan Xiaoping called when Dong Xuebing was driving, and he answered. “Hello, Mum.”
“You brat! Are you trying to scare me to my death?!” Luan Xiaoping sounded like she had just cried. “I thought you are going to jail!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am not going to jail. This had nothing to do with me, and I was only implicated in it. Mum, there nothing to be afraid of. I am fine as I had not done anything wrong… Haha…”
Dong Xuebing could only hear sniffles, and Luan Xiaoping did not say anything.
He quickly consoles her. “Sorry for making you worry. Where are you now?”
“I am at your grandmother’s house.”
“Don’t be angry. How about I go over and let you give me a beating?”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Luan Xiaoping’s character is like her son, who keeps everything to herself. When she heard her son is arrested for murder with his fingerprints as evidence, she was scared out of her wits. But she is relieved after he is released from the Public Security Bureau. “Xiao Bing, I want to ask you something.”
“Yes. What is it?”
“I heard everyone saying that you are dating Mayor Xie.”
“Err… yes.”
Luan Xiaoping paused for a few seconds, and she asked angrily. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Are you trying to hide it from me?”
“No… it’s too early.”
Luan Xiaoping heard this and got more furious. “What do you mean? She said those things to prove you innocent, and you all had slept together. Even the marriage date has been confirmed, but… I don’t even know about this. Don’t you think you should let me know about this?!”
“Ah… Don’t be angry. It’s my fault.”
Luan Xiaoping paused for a second and asked. “Is it because the Mayor is looking down on us?”
Dong Xuebing quickly explained. “How is it possible? It is because of my work, and we need to keep our relationship confidential. Huilan is a nice girl and is very gentle. She will not look down on others, and this has nothing to do with our family background.” He quickly says good things about Sister Xie. “She is a nice person, and you will like her.”
