“Mum.”
Everyone’s jaw dropped.
What’s going on? This guy is Madam Luan’s son?!
Chief Meng took a deep breath and felt his heart turn cold.
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing and Madam Luan in shock.
Luan Xiaoping looked at Dong Xuebing. “Hurry and move your car. Stop blocking the traffic. Mayor Zhou needs to go out.”
Dong Xuebing grumbled. “Mum, just stay out of this.”
Luan Xiaoping stared at Dong Xuebing. “Are you going to move or not?”
Dong Xuebing looked toward Chief Meng. “Ask that Meng fellow apologizes to Xiao Ma first. Look at her. His son had fired firecrackers at her and burned her shoes. She was almost disfigured. Instead of apologizing to us, he still allowed his son to do whatever he wanted. He is unreasonable, and I don’t need to be reasonable with him. Just go back, Mum. No one is leaving until he apologizes.”
Luan Xiaoping shouted. “Are you asking for a beating?!”
“He was the one who disrespected us first.” Dong Xuebing refused to give in.
Although the mother and son looked were arguing, it felt like an act.
Chief Meng’s family and friends, especially the ones who scolded Dong Xuebing earlier, turned pale. Chief Meng cursed in his heart. F**k! Why didn’t you say you were Madam Luan’s son earlier?! Are you trying to get me in trouble?! If you had said so, I would not go against you.
Ma Jian inhaled loudly.
Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing deeply.
Shen Fei understood why Dong Xuebing had that expression when he asked him to move the car earlier. It was not because he was scared of the Mayor’s wife. Thinking back, the God of Plague had scolded the District Party Secretary while working in Fen Zhou City. What else can he be afraid of? Fear is not in his dictionary. He had that expression because that woman was his mother.
Deputy Mayor Zhou finally remembered Dong Xuebing. He was one of the few who knew Luan Xiaoping’s son was the earthquake hero. Madam Luan and Mayor Yang just married, and she appeared in public with Mayor Yang for the first time yesterday. That’s why not many people know about her. Only a handful of Lui An City top leaders heard about her son. Chief Meng and the rest do not know Dong Xuebing was the earthquake hero because the earthquake was a few months ago, and Lui An City was not affected.
The situation changed.
Chief Meng stood there awkwardly.
Madam Luan did not force Dong Xuebing to do anything and continued reprimanding him. Deputy Zhou was not stupid to think she was angry with her son. It was an act, and her status does not allow her to side with her son.
Deputy Mayor Zhou frowned as he looked at Chief Meng. “Old Meng, I don’t want to say this. But you had spoilt your son. Firecrackers are dangerous, and how can he fire them at others? He is a kid, and you adults should not side with him.”
Chief Meng replied. “Yes… yes…. You are right.”
Deputy Mayor Zhou sighed. “Hurry and apologize to that comrade. Look at what your son had done. Luckily, there’s no real damage. Sigh….”
Chief Zhou was sweating buckets. “Yes…. It’s my fault.” Chief Meng shouted to his son. “Come over here immediately!”
Chief Meng’s wife knew if this was not settled, her husband’s career would end. She immediately dragged her son over.
The little boy was unwilling and was glaring at Dong Xuebing.
Chief Meng saw it and raised his arm to slap his son.
Dong Xuebing shouted. “Eh! Eh! Why are you hitting a child?! Just teach him nicely.” He got to stop Chief Meng from hitting his son, or his mother’s image would be tarnished. Many people were looking at them. Although he knows he gave others a bad impression, he did not want others to think he had abused his powers.
Chief Meng dropped his hand and pointed at his son. “From today onwards, you are not allowed to touch any firecrackers. Apologize now!”
The boy was scared, and tears started flowing.
Chief Meng’s wife pushed her son. “Hurry and apologize.”
The boy cried and said. “Sorry.”
Chief Meng walked over to Dong Xuebing and the rest. “I am sorry. We had not taught our son well. Sorry for frightening you all.”
His wife also apologized. “Sorry.”
The arrogant Chief Meng’s secretary also came over to apologize.
Luan Xiaoping said. “It’s not a big deal after all. It’s my son who had caused inconvenience to everybody by blocking the entrance. I will teach him a lesson when I get home.” Her tone does not sound like she will teach Dong Xuebing a lesson.
Chief Meng panicked. “No… no… Madam Luan. It’s our fault. I was standing far away and did not notice that comrade was injured. If not, I would have apologized straight away.” He found an excuse for himself and took a few thousand for Ma Jian.
Ma Jian waved her hand. “It’s too much.”
“Take it. I am sorry for making you frightened.” Chief Meng pushed the stack of money into her hand.
In the end, Ma Jian took one thousand and returned the rest. “One thousand is enough.”
This incident had finally come to an end.
Shen Fei and Ma Jian felt good when Chief Meng and his family apologized.
After a while, Luan Xiaoping turned to her son. “Move your car!”
“Ok!” Dong Xuebing got into his car and drove into the estate. After that, he got out and waved to everyone stuck in the traffic. “Sorry, everyone. I was forced to do this.”
“Ah, it’s fine.”
“It’s just a small matter.”
Deputy Mayor Zhou laughed. “Alright, Xuebing. Hurry and go back with Sister Luan for lunch. Haha….”
After knowing Dong Xuebing was Madam Luan’s son, everyone treated him differently.
