Chapter 722: Geng Family apologized

Evening.

Gengs family apartment living room.

Geng Yuehuas words made her parents and brother speechless.

No one said a word for a few seconds.

After a while, Geng Yuehuas mother asked.

“Yuehua, is it true”

“Yes.” Geng Yuehua poured a cup of tea and drank it.

Geng Xinke looks at his sister.

“Sis, why didnt you tell me about this earlier”

Geng Yuehua coldly replied.

“Xiao Dong asked me not to tell you.”

“But….” Geng Yuehuas father frowned.

“Why did he help Xinke”

Everyone looks at Geng Yuehua, waiting for her reply.

Thats right.

Why is he so helpful

Geng Yuehua paused for a second and put down the teacup.

“Xinke is Xiao Dongs subordinate, and Lin Pingping is his former subordinate.

He will be affected if anything happens to you.

I cannot say he is not doing this for himself, but he put aside his grudges to help you.

He let you off after you grabbed his collar and went to Dong Hai District to clear your mess.

I think you all are biased against him.

I had met him several times these few days, and I can tell he is not a scheming person.”

Geng Xinke smacked his lips.

Geng Yuehuas mother sighed.

“Yuehua, you should have told us earlier.

I had ignored Dong Xuebing when he greeted me earlier.”

Geng Xinke felt terrible.

Dong Xuebing had invited him to have dinner earlier, and he rejected him.

“No matter what, it was Dong Xuebing who helped us.” Geng Yuehuas father said.

“We cannot let him think our family is unreasonable.”

Geng Yuehuas mother nodded.

“Yuehua, help me thank him when you see him again.”

Geng Yuehua replied emotionlessly.

“I had thanked him.”

“Thank him for you!” Geng Yuehuas father said.

“We are staying in the same building.

Cant you thank him yourself Why must you ask Yuehua to be the messenger”

Geng Yuehuas mother gave him a stare.

“How am I supposed to thank him after showing him that attitude earlier”

Geng Yuehuas father ignored her and looked at his son.

“Speak up.

Why are you keeping quiet”

Geng Xinke doesnt know what to say.

He hated Dong Xuebing to the core and swore to go against him in the future.

But it was Dong Xuebing who put aside their grudges and saved him.

His anger towards him disappeared.

If Dong Xuebing had not helped, those DVDs would have been sent to various departments, and countless people would have seen them.

His assault case against Dong Xuebing would also not be settled so quickly.

Geng Xinke said.

“Dong Xuebing had invited me to have dinner together this afternoon.

How about we call him over to have dinner together” He is not an ungrateful person and wants to thank him.

Geng Xinkes mother nodded.

“Alright.

Yuehua, give Xiao Dong a call.”

Geng Yuehua sat there as if she had not heard anything.

Geng Yuehuas mother asked again.

“Yuehua, did you hear me”

Geng Yuehuas father frowned.

“Can you be more sincere How can you ask Yuehua to call him Ask Xinke to go upstairs to invite him.”

Geng Xinke nodded.

“I….

I will go upstairs and invite him.”

“Fine… fine….

I am not sincere like you all.” Geng Yuehuas mother grumbled and stood up.

“I will prepare dinner now.”

Stairwell.

Geng Xinke called Lin Pingping after he stepped out of his apartment.

“Hello, who is it”

“Pingping Its me.”

Lin Pingping paused for a second.

“How did you know my number” Although they had slept together, she had not given him her number.

“I got it from someone.

Its easy to get it since I know you are working in Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency.”

“Stop calling me in the future.”

“Ok.

Have you taken your dinner What are you doing now” Geng Xinke asked.

“I am cooking now.

What is it you want”

“I just want to tell you that everything is settled.” Geng Xinke said embarrassedly.

“You are right.

I dont know anything about Dong Xuebing.

He was the one who recovered the recordings and suppressed this issue.

I had misunderstood him.”

Lin Pingping paused for a second.

“What did he do”

“Its like this….” Geng Xinke told Lin Pingping what had happened.

Lin Pingping sighed in relief.

“Chief Dong had helped me a lot when he was with the Investment Promotion Agency.

Sigh….

I owe him another favor.” She is not surprised that Dong Xuebing stepped in to help her as she knows he is very protective of his subordinates.

“I am going to invite Dong Xuebing to come to my house for dinner.

I will thank him for you.” Theres an underlying meaning in this sentence.

Lin Pingping got the underlying message.

“No need.

I will thank him myself.”

“Err….

Alright.”

“Bye.”

“Ok.

Please take care of yourself.”

“I know.”

Lin Pingping treats Geng Xinke formally like an ordinary friend, and theres nothing Geng Xinke can do.

They split after they graduated and he had dated other women after that.

But those women could not give him the same feeling he felt when he was with Lin Pingping.

He regrets breaking up with her and tries to call her again.

But she had changed her number, and they lost contact until two days ago.

Geng Xinke ended the call and went upstairs to Dong Xuebings apartment.

He is troubled and feels uncomfortable doing this.

This is difficult for him as he had to put aside his pride.

Geng Xinke hesitated for a while before pressing the doorbell.

Ding dong… ding dong….

The door opened, and Dong Xuebing stepped out.

“Eh Secretary Geng Why are you here Come in.”

Dong Xuebing was watching TV alone when Geng Xinke knocked on his door.

Geng Xinke smiled.

“I will not go in.

Director, have you taken your dinner My parents had prepared dinner, and they are inviting you over.”

Dong Xuebing is puzzled.

“I have not eaten, but I will not bother uncle and auntie.

I am about to cook dinner now.”

“Its not a bother.

My family will be glad if you can join us.” Geng Xinke said this with difficulties.

“Haha….

Alright.

Let me switch off the TV first.”

Dong Xuebing returned to his apartment to switch off the TV and grabbed two cartons of cigarettes before going downstairs with Geng Xinke.

He slowly understands why Geng Xinke changed his attitude towards him.

Yuehua must have told her family what happened.

Its not a bad thing if they know about it.

Dong Xuebing doesnt mind having a good relationship with Yuehuas family.

Geng Family apartment.

“Xiao Dong, you are here.” Geng Yuehuas father puts down his newspapers.

Geng Yuehuas mother also comes over to greet him.

“Xiao Dong, come in.”

Dong Xuebing smiled politely.

“Uncle, auntie, I was not prepared and didnt have any good gifts.

Haha….

But it is bad to turn up empty-handed.

Here are two cartons of Zhong Hua Cigarettes.” He placed the cigarettes on the table.

Geng Yuehuas father replied.

“Why are you bringing gifts”

“Thats right.” Geng Yuehuas mother added.

Dong Xuebing laughed.

“Its a small token, and this is my first time visiting you all.

Gifts are a must.”

Geng Yuehuas mother smiles.

“You all Beijing people are so polite.

Fine.

We will accept it, but dont bring anything next time.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing changed to slippers and entered the living room.

“Mayor Geng.”

Geng Yuehua nods at Dong Xuebing and continues watching TV.

Dinner.

Everyone sat at the dining table, and Geng Yuehuas father took out a few bottles of alcohol.

“Here, Xiao Dong.” Geng Yuehuas mother raised her glass of plain water.

“I cant drink, and I will drink this instead.

Let me give you a toast.

I heard everything from Yuehua.

Thank you.”

Dong Xuebing cannot allow elders to offer him toasts.

“No….

no….

Auntie, dont mention it.

Thats what I should do.”

Geng Xinke added.

“Let me have a toast with Director Dong instead.

Thank you.”

Dong Xuebing reached out to stop him.

“Stop toasting with me.

The first glass should be me toasting with uncle and auntie.

I cannot let elders offer a toast to me, and Xinkes matter is a simple matter.

Thats what I should do, and I did not do much too.

Lastly, I was too rash and impulsive in the past, and it caused some misunderstandings.

Its all my fault, and here is a toast to both of you.

I hope you will not blame me for what happened in the past.”

Dong Xuebing knocked his glass against Geng Yuehuas parents glasses.

Geng Yuehuas mother is smiling brightly.

“You are too modest.

It was my son who had ….”

Geng Yuehuas father interrupts.

“Stop talking about it.”

“Yes… yes….” Geng Yuehuas mother said.

“Its all in the past.

Lets not talk about it anymore.

Lets eat.”
