"Sister Ping," the bodyguard asked, looking at her.
Fang Wenping scolded, "What use of me keeping you beside me?"
Fang Shuiling also became angry, "Aunt! Please go back! I\'m begging you, okay?"
Fang Wenping looked at her niece and said, "You\'re being used by others! Instead of helping me, your aunt, you\'re helping outsiders!"
"I\'m not... not helping others!" Fang Shuiling stepped forward to block them. "But can you guys not fight? How did it escalate to physical violence? You\'re the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission!"
Dong Xuebing sneered at Fang Wenping. "You want to fight with me? Are you kidding me? Don\'t you even bother to find out who I am?"
Xie Ran also hurriedly intervened. "Brother-in-law! You should also keep quiet for a bit!"
Dong Xuebing was very angry. "They started the fight! It\'s good enough that I haven\'t given them a beating!""Brother-in-law!" Xie Ran exclaimed. "Just give me some face and stop talking! Let\'s all talk calmly. We\'re all people of status!"
Xie Jing also didn\'t want things to escalate, so she quickly came to Dong Xuebing\'s side, fearing that he would hit Fang Wenping. They all knew how strong their brother-in-law was. No one in the courtyard could stop him if he wanted to hit someone. Xie Jing was afraid that things would develop in a direction nobody wanted to see, so she used her body to separate Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping. However, Xie Jing was unnecessarily worried. Dong Xuebing wouldn\'t hit Fang Wenping. He despised hitting women. Though he had a bad temper, he still cared about his reputation. Hitting a woman? That would be too shameful.
The scene became tense. Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping started arguing again.
"How come the Xie family has someone like you!" Fang Wenping scolded.
"How come the Fang family has such a shrew!" Dong Xuebing retorted.
"Alright, brat!" Fang Wenping coldly looked at him. "You\'re challenging me, Fang Wenping?"
Dong Xuebing sneered, "Threatening me? Scaring me? Bring it on! Do you dare bite me? Go ahead!"
Fang Wenping slammed the table and stood up. "Come over here!"
"I\'m coming! I\'m offering my arm for you to bite!" Dong Xuebing also stood up.
"Aunt! Hey!" Fang Shuiling hurriedly hugged Fang Wenping\'s waist. "Don\'t fight!"
Xie Ran and Xie Jing rushed over, one on each side, hugging Dong Xuebing\'s arms. "Brother-in-law! Calm down! Calm down! Don\'t fight anymore!"
"I can\'t calm down!" Dong Xuebing shouted.
"Brother-in-law!" Xie Ran exclaimed. "If you want to hit someone, hit me first!"
"Why would I hit you!" Dong Xuebing glared.
Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping were like water and fire, shouting and fighting.
Xie Jing felt her face burn with embarrassment. This was so humiliating!
The bodyguard also felt powerless. He knew Fang Wenping\'s nasty temper but didn\'t expect the Xie family to have a troublemaker like her!
What kind of place was the Fang family?
What kind of place was the Xie family?
How could they have such two scoundrels?
The bodyguard couldn\'t help but sigh, not knowing how to handle the situation.
Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping, referred to as a female scoundrel and a hooligan, already indicate their temperaments and characters. They won\'t listen to others, so no matter how much Xie Ran, Fang Shuiling, and others tried to intervene, they wouldn\'t listen. The more they argued, the fiercer it got, and if everyone hadn\'t been pulling and restraining them, they would probably have started fighting long ago.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
Ring, ring, it was Fang Wenping\'s phone.
As Fang Wenping took out her phone, she scolded Dong Xuebing, "Even if your parents will never speak to me like this! Do you think I cannot put you in place?"
Dong Xuebing sneered, "Don\'t act all high and mighty with me! Who falls for that? I\'ve lived this long! I\'ve never been afraid of anyone!"
"Alright, kid!" Fang Wenping pointed at him.
Fang Wenping answered the phone, "Hello, what\'s up... yeah... yeah... you want me to come over? What kind of mess are you people making? Why does everything have to be handled by me... huh? Then what are you all doing? Everything\'s on me, huh... huh? Then why do I need you? Get lost and find another job; what\'s with lazing around... stop with the nonsense! If you\'re not capable, say so! Stop making excuses... Fine! I don\'t want to waste time with you; it\'s my bad luck to have to support you, a bunch of idle people from the Discipline Inspection Commission. What time is it now? Yeah, I got it! I\'ll be back in an hour! Hang up!"
Fang Shuiling asked excitedly, "Did something happen at work?"
Fang Wenping cursed, "A bunch of freeloaders, everything has to be dealt with by me. It\'s hard for me even to take a day off. Sooner or later, I\'ll have them all fired!"
Fang Shuiling didn\'t even care about her aunt\'s foul language anymore. "Should I escort you out? Work is more important. It\'s not that they\'re incapable; it\'s mainly because you\'re too capable to overshadow them. If something happens, they have to seek your guidance." She flattered.
Fang Wenping\'s expression softened slightly. "... I\'m leaving!"
Dong Xuebing sarcastically remarked, "You\'re just bragging yet criticizing others\' abilities. Do you think you\'re the only one who knows how to work? Can you bring down the cow from the sky for a break?"
Fang Wenping coldly replied, "I have things to do. I don\'t want to waste time with you. Don\'t worry, we\'ll meet again, Dong Xuebing, right? I\'ll remember you!"
Dong Xuebing said, "I\'ll remember you too!"
After giving Dong Xuebing one last glance, Fang Wenping strode out.
Fang Shuiling hurriedly caught up, Xie Ran followed, and they walked her out of the courtyard.
A little while later, after the courtyard gate closed, Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling entered the yard, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, one was sent away!
But Dong Xuebing was still cursing, "This old woman! She\'s unreasonable and thinks she\'s above everyone else! Is she a Bureau-level leader? I\'ve never seen such a scoundrel!"
Xie Ran was sweating, thinking neither of them was better, so they shouldn\'t criticize each other.
Fang Shuiling quickly apologized on behalf of her aunt, "Brother Dong, sorry just now, my aunt..."
Dong Xuebing looked at her and said, "I\'m not criticizing you, Xiao Ling. What kind of person is your aunt? I\'ve never seen such a scoundrel!"
Fang Shuiling said, "It\'s all my fault."
Dong Xuebing was still angry and wanted to scold more.
But Xie Jing pulled him, "Brother-in-law, it has nothing to do with Xiao Ling."
Dong Xuebing also realized it was inappropriate, so he stopped criticizing Fang Shuiling. Instead, he sat heavily on a chair, slammed the table hard, and made a heavy, muffled sound, "Don\'t let me see her again!" Dong Xuebing considered himself unbeatable in argumentation; he always had the upper hand whenever he scolded someone or debated. Who would have thought that this time, he encountered a worthy opponent who spoke as harshly as he did and had a temper as bad as his own? Dong Xuebing was genuinely angry. He hated Fang Wenping like he had never hated any female comrade. So what if she was beautiful? What\'s most important for a woman? It\'s character, demeanor, and temperament! For Fang Wenping, no matter how beautiful she was, it didn\'t matter. Her character was despicable, so her beauty was useless! Dong Xuebing truly hated her!
Seeing her brother-in-law looking furious and having nowhere to vent, Xie Jing couldn\'t help but find it somewhat amusing. She poured him a cup of hot tea. "Brother Dong, have some water first."
Dong Xuebing picked it up and took a gulp, but it was too hot, and he ended up burning himself. He took a few breaths to cool down. "Why is it so hot? Are you in cahoots with Fang Wenping?"
Xie Jing couldn\'t help but chuckle, "Aunt Fang is a female comrade. Do you have to be so upset with a female comrade?"
Dong Xuebing was annoyed, "Is she a woman? I\'ve never seen such a woman before! She even had her bodyguard try to take me down. Her arrogance blinds her!"
His girlfriend was still present, so Xie Ran advised, "Please stop scolding her."
"What\'s wrong with scolding her? I showed mercy by not hitting her!" Dong Xuebing was still angry. "Xiao Ling, I\'m giving you face today. Otherwise, would she even leave? I could have taken her down with just a flick of my finger!"
Fang Shuiling blinked her eyes, "The matter has passed, Brother Dong. Please don\'t dwell on it with my aunt. Let me apologize on her behalf."
Dong Xuebing angrily said, "Passed? It hasn\'t passed! Let me tell you, this matter isn\'t over between me and her! Whether she\'s a donkey or a horse, I\'ll drag her for a walk!"
"Nicely said!" Only Xie Hao was shouting, "Brother-in-law, you\'re awesome!"
Xie Ran kicked his brother, criticizing, "What nonsense are you filling your head with? Can\'t you see there\'s already enough trouble?"
Xie Hao smirked. He didn\'t care about anything else. He had heard of Fang Wenping\'s infamous reputation and didn\'t dare to confront her. He knew she was a despicable female scoundrel. But since his brother-in-law was now at odds with Fang Wenping, Xie Hao naturally lent his full support.
Everyone had different thoughts.
The most frustrated were Xie Ran and his girlfriend.
Previously, Xie Ran had thought optimistically, perhaps naively, that the conflicts between the two families were mainly among the elders and didn\'t involve the younger generation. Perhaps if they could maintain a mutually beneficial relationship, the two families might even be able to ally through marriage. After all, it\'s all about maximizing benefits. But now, with Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping fighting so fiercely, even resorting to physical violence, this conflict became even more irreconcilable. The Fang and Xie families already harbored deep-seated grievances against each other.
Thinking of this, Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling were both in a bad mood. They knew that their marriage prospects were now even more slim, with almost no chance of success.
Alas! This matter has escalated!
