Chapter 1653
Afternoon.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The courtyard door kept being knocked on. The rhythm of the banging and the tone of the woman's voice indicated that this woman's temper was definitely not good.
Fang Shuiling was very anxious. "What should we do?"
Xie Ran frowned. "Why is she here?"
"I don't know." Fang Shuiling took a deep breath.Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m
"Did you tell her we were coming to Haishan?" Xie Ran asked.
"No," Fang Shuiling said. "Even if I told my parents, I wouldn't tell my aunt. Everyone knows her bad temper. This is not good. She should know that we're in a relationship from the sound of her voice. But how did she find out, and how does she know I'm here?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The person outside continued knocking on the door.
"Xie Ran, open the door for me," the woman's voice was very domineering. "How dare you abduct my family members?"
Xie Ran smiled bitterly. Who did he abduct?
Xie Hao couldn't stand it and stared, "Who is she to come and create a scene at my brother-in-law’s place? This is disrespecting us. Brother, don't bother, I'll go out." He rolled up his sleeves aggressively as if he was going to do something. "Watch me deal with her."
Xie Ran pulled him back. "Enough, don't cause trouble."
Xie Hao said, "If we don't teach her a lesson, she won't know our family name."
Fang Shuiling hurriedly said, "Xiao Hao, hey, don't mess around."
But Xie Jing asked, "Could your aunt be Fang Wenping?"
Fang Shuiling hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Yes."
Xie Jing slapped her forehead. "Oh no, why is it her?"
Dong Xuebing looked at them. "Xie Ran mentioned it before, and I said this name sounded familiar. Fang Wenping."
The previous topic had been diverted, so Xie Ran didn't answer Dong Xuebing. Upon hearing it again, Xie Ran sighed and said, "You must have heard of her. Fang Wenping also works in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. She's the director of the First Supervisory Office."
Dong Xuebing was startled. "The head?"
Fang Wenping.
So, this aunt of Shuiling was also a tough one.
And she was even more exaggerated than Xie Huanlan. Disowning relatives might describe her temperament, but Fang Wenping from the Fang family truly disowned her relatives. No wonder Xie Ran and Xie Jing had such a headache expression. Facing such a legendary woman banging on the door, it was strange for them to relax.
Dong Xuebing also felt a headache. "It's not good to let her keep banging on the door like this."
Xie Ran didn't know how to handle it either. He kept clicking his tongue. While anyone from the Fang family would have been okay, why must it be Fang Wenping?
This woman was a real troublemaker.
Who didn't know about her temper?
Communicating and reasoning with her was impossible.
But at this moment, Xie Ran still showed his increasingly decisive side after grassroots experience. Previously, Xie's family had always treated Xie Ran like a treasure, which resulted in his weak personality. Unlike Xie Huanlan's toughness and coldness, Xie Ran became different after some grassroots training. He thought to himself that whatever had to happen would happen eventually, and avoiding problems wasn't the solution. So, Xie Ran gritted his teeth and made a decision. He loudly said to Fang Shuiling near the door, "Shuiling, open the door."
Fang Shuiling hesitated. "But..."
"We have to meet your family eventually," Xie Ran insisted.
Fang Shuiling nodded vigorously. "Okay."
Dong Xuebing wasn't planning to get involved, but seeing Xie Ran's decision, he nodded inwardly. Sometimes, one had to be decisive to achieve something within the system and rise higher in the organization. Fear would only hold one back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The banging on the door continued.
"Shuiling, are you disowning even me now, your aunt?" Fang Wenping shouted.
Fang Shuiling pursed her lips, hesitated momentarily, then finally opened the door. "Auntie, why are you here? If you have something to say, tell me, Auntie."
From where Dong Xuebing stood, he couldn't see the courtyard; a screen wall was in between. However, just as he heard the door opening, a few seconds later, he heard the crisp sound of high heels landing on the ground, followed by the sight of a woman striding in confidently, with Fang Shuiling following behind, holding the woman's arm.
Dong Xuebing had just learned about this person, Fang Wenping, from Xie Ran and Xie Jing's conversation. But when he finally met her face to face, he found that her image completely differed from what he had imagined. Dong Xuebing was momentarily stunned because he saw a woman who was as beautiful as anyone, with a figure that could rival anyone's. She was probably not even forty, or it was hard to tell. She had meticulously arranged long hair wore a midi skirt and, black high heels, and a small sweater on top. She exuded an elegant aura and had a touch of fashion in her attire. Coupled with her voluptuous figure, she was simply a textbook example of an Eastern beauty. Dong Xuebing was the type who couldn't help but stop and stare when he saw a beautiful woman, so naturally, he looked at her a few more times.
So, this was Fang Wenping.
The woman from the Fang family who dares to disown her relatives.
He never expected her to be this beautiful; he thought she would be a sharp-tongued auntie.
