In the courtyard,
The scene turned chaotic.
"Co back with ," Fang Wenping pulled.
Fang Shuiling sat still, "I'm not going back."
Fang Wenping was fierce, "Do you believe I'll hit you?"
Fang Shuiling looked at her with red eyes, "If you dare to hit , go ahead."
She had made up her mind. It seed her feelings for Xie Ran were indeed deep.
Fang Wenping's face darkened as she threatened, "You think I won't hit you?"
Concerned about his girlfriend's safety, Xie Ran hurriedly said, "Aunt Fang, I'll talk to my parents about Shuiling and . I'll make sure they agree."
Fang Wenping didn't even glance at him, "What does their agreent have to do with ?"
Even Xie Jing, unable to stay neutral, was provoked by Fang Wenping's sharpness, "You're breaking up a pair of lovebirds."
She narrowed her eyes, Fang Wenping remained resolute, "Today, I'm breaking them up. Let say it again: I don't agree, and no one can change my mind."
Unreasonable.
Disrespectful.
Acid-tongued.
That's Fang Wenping for you.
Forget about others; even the Fang family couldn't control her. Fang Wenping's wicked nature was well-known in their circle. People who had a bit of sophistication or understood her a little knew that this widow was a complete scoundrel. Maybe it was because of her ex-husband's affairs that she had such a temper now. Since she got her ex-husband and several legitimate heirs of the Fang family disciplined, no one dared to offend her. The reason was simple: this woman completely went against the grain. You couldn't reason with her, and when compared to a rule-abiding person, everyone preferred dealing with soone who followed the rules. Because with a crazy person, you never know what they would do. This scoundrel even managed to send her husband to jail. Facing so outsiders, she could easily turn hostile. Who wouldn't think twice before crossing her?
Fang Wenping caused a scene in the courtyard.
Xie Ran and Xie Jing found it hard to cope.
But they had all forgotten that among those present, there wasn't just Fang Wenping, the scoundrel; there was also soone acknowledged by everyone as a notorious rascal standing in the courtyard.
That soone was Dong Xuebing.
He couldn't bear it any longer.
When Fang Wenping once again disdainfully berated Xie Ran, Dong Xuebing slamd the stone table in front of him with a heavy thud. The table trembled, startling Fang Shuiling, Xie Jing, and the others, who turned their gazes towards him.
But Fang Wenping remained unfazed by the noise. Of course, she wouldn't be intimidated so easily. She looked at Dong Xuebing and said, "What are you banging for? Are you trying to scare soone?"
Dong Xuebing stared coldly at her. "What are you shouting for? You think you're the only one with a loud voice?"
The eldest brother-in-law intervened.
Xie Hao and Xie Jing wore complex expressions.
Only Xie Hao seed excited, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and shut her up. She's too infuriating."
Fang Wenping smiled, "Brother-in-law? You're Xie Huilan's husband, Dong Xuebing, right?"
Dong Xuebing smiled as he looked at her, "It's indeed my honor to et you."
Fang Wenping said, "I've heard of you, too. I didn't expect to et you under these circumstances today."
"I've also heard of your reputation," Dong Xuebing replied. "But first, make it clear whose house this is. It's my house, Dong Xuebing's house. It's not up to you, from the Fang family, to act recklessly."
Fang Shuiling also felt slightly insulted, but she couldn't care less now.
Fang Wenping exclaid, "You've got a big mouth. I call the shots here. I, Fang Wenping, do whatever I want. What's your position? Just a low-ranking cadre from the Discipline Inspection Commission. I rember you're a Director-level inspector from the Eighth Division. Your director wouldn't dare to speak to like this. Who do you think you are?" Fang Wenping was starting to sound like she was about to curse. Quite audacious. However, in terms of seniority, Fang Wenping was superior to Dong Xuebing. Moreover, she was the director of the First Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, a departnt-level official, two ranks higher than Dong Xuebing. In terms of seniority, she had the qualifications to look down on Dong Xuebing.
Fang Shuiling couldn't bear it anymore and interjected, "Aunt."
However, Dong Xuebing wasn't angry. Instead, he retorted, "You may have a higher rank in the workplace, but so what? This is my house. Did I invite you in? What are you, relying on your age and rank to act high and mighty? I'm embarrassed for your Fang family. You're so old, yet you don't know how to knock properly, embarrassing yourselves in front of our house. And you dare to use your rank to intimidate ? I don't care who you are."
Xie Ran hurriedly intervened, "Brother-in-law."
Fang Wenping said, "Now you're cursing."
Dong Xuebing glanced at her, "You can curse at , but I can't curse at you? What kind of logic is that? I'm cursing at you, specifically."
Fang Wenping got angry too, "You brat, you think highly of yourself."
Dong Xuebing replied, "You think highly of yourself, not . I'm just calling you out. It's nothing new."
When it ca to cursing, Dong Xuebing naturally wasn't afraid.
"I'm cursing at you, so what? You're still shouting at about Xie Ran and Shuiling's affairs. I don't care, but you've picked the wrong person if you co to my house and cause trouble. Did you bother to find out who Dong Xuebing is? Is this the place for you to throw a tantrum?" Dong Xuebing threw Fang Wenping's words back at her.
Fang Wenping and Dong Xuebing continued to exchange insults, hurling curses at each other.
"Believe , I'll hit you," Fang Wenping said.
"I don't believe you. Co on," Dong Xuebing taunted. "I don't even know who'll be hitting whom. Don't think I won't hit a woman."
Fang Wenping chuckled, "Ha, I don't think you'd dare hit a woman." She took a few steps forward and approached him, "Co on, hit ."
Dong Xuebing retorted, "You little brat, don't provoke ."
Fang Wenping retorted, "You're acting like a jerk."
"I've never seen a woman like you," Dong Xuebing was also infuriated.
Fang Wenping countered, "And I've never seen a little brat like you! Co on, try acting tough with !"
Dong Xuebing stood up from his chair, "You think I won't dare to hit you?"
Fang Wenping taunted, "Co on, if you don't hit , I'll be disappointed! Do you even dare to look at yourself in the mirror? I've been through more than you can imagine. Don't ss with . I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Don't think I'll back down just because of you. You don't even know your place!"
Dong Xuebing sneered, "You think highly of yourself. In my eyes, everyone has value except for you."
As soon as Dong Xuebing joined the fray, he verbally battled with Fang Wenping.
They were relentlessly exchanging insults, and it felt like they were hurling endless verbal abuse at each other.
Dong Xuebing had a sharp tongue, but Fang Wenping was no less. The two of them were like a tornado of foul language, creating an atmosphere of chaos.
Fang Shuiling and Xie Ran could only watch in shock. Eventually, Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping were so absorbed in their argunt that Fang Shuiling and the others couldn't even speak.
The argunt escalated, and the insults beca even more offensive.
Fang Shuiling was dumbfounded, and Xie Ran was equally stunned. They exchanged glances and knew they couldn't let things continue like this. If the argunt continued, it would ruin any chance of marriage between them. It was like they were sealing a lifelong enmity, and the situation was already spiraling out of control. Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping seed on the verge of coming to blows at any mont. So, they hurriedly stepped in to separate the two.
Fang Shuiling held onto Fang Wenping and tried to pull her back. "Auntie, Auntie, calm down."
Xie Ran also held onto Dong Xuebing and pulled him backward, desperately trying to calm him down. "Brother-in-law, give face. Let's stop arguing."
Fang Shuiling shouted, "Stop arguing, both of you!"
Xie Ran said, "It's my fault. Both of you, calm down."
But Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping were too absorbed in their argunt to listen. Even though Shuiling and Xie Ran pulled them apart, they continued to exchange insults. No one could stop them.
Cheering on the sidelines, Xie Hao said, "Brother-in-law, keep going!"
But Xie Jing couldn't stand it anymore. She slapped her forehead hard, completely astonished by how the situation had escalated to this point. It was unbelievable.
Dong Xuebing's earlier facade in front of Fang Shuiling had completely shattered.
Fang Shuiling and Xie Ran watched as Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping argued, almost wanting to faint on the spot. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Two leaders from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, two scions of the top five families in politics, were now engaged in such an undignified exchange.
The scene was difficult to accept. Anyone who knew the identities of the two arguing couldn't believe it.
This wasn't how officials from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection behaved, and this wasn't how scions of prestigious families spoke.
Yet, here they were, arguing like this right before them, making their heads spin.
One was the notorious troublemaker from the Fang family, the other was the infamous ruffian from the Xie family. Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping, two thorns among thorns, clashed head-on, sparking "fireworks" of confrontation.
