After being convinced that Xia Chuchu had developed a good impression of Ye Ming, Xu Fei decided to make a joke about the two of them and test Xia Chuchu's reaction.

So, he turned his head, looked at Xia Chuchu with a smile, and then looked at Ye Ming who was sitting beside her, and pretended to be amazed and said: "Tsk, Chu Chu, you and Xiao Ye are sitting together like this, one is handsome and chic, the other is as beautiful as a flower, and it looks like a pair of golden boys and girls!" Come on, I'll take a picture of you, just in time to go back and make my lover and daughter envious! ”

With that, he really stood up, took out his iPhone, and prepared to take a picture of them.

As he expected, after making this explicit joke, Xia Chuchu was not angry, but showed a hint of joy and shyness on her face, turned her head and glanced at Ye Ming, who was a little embarrassed, and tilted her head slightly to his side, posing for a group photo - obviously, she was very in favor of Xu Fei's proposal, and she was very happy.

It was Ye Ming, who seemed a little at a loss for a while - after all, the big beauty next to her was not only the star host of the provincial TV station, but also the daughter of the director of the provincial local taxation bureau. Xu Fei made this kind of joke in front of him, and took a group photo of them, I wonder if it will make her angry?

However, he soon found that this worry was unnecessary: Xia Chuchu not only did not get angry, but instead showed a happy and shy expression, and took the initiative to lean his head over, allowing Xu Fei to take several intimate photos of the two of them almost head to head one after another......

This made Ye Ming even more uneasy in his heart......

After such a small episode, the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became harmonious and harmonious.

Xia Chuchu also forgot the unhappiness when he first saw Xu Fei, and actually offered to drink a little red wine.

While drinking, Xia Chuchu looked at Ye Ming and pouted with a good-looking little mouth and said, "Ye Ming, you have to punish three glasses of wine first." In the afternoon at the gate of the hospital, I asked what is your name and why are you lying to me? Director Xu, do you think he should be punished? ”

Ye Ming smiled slightly and said, "I didn't lie to you!" My surname is Ye, Secretary Li and Director Xu usually call me Xiao Ye, so I asked you to call me Xiao Ye too, that's right! ”

Xia Chuchu thought about it, and then realized that he had heard "Xiao Ye" as "Xiao Ye", but when he saw the evil smile on Ye Ming's face, he knew that he must have deliberately misunderstood, so he smiled and gently punched him in the shoulder with a small fist, and forced him to make two glasses of wine alone.

Xu Fei watched the two of them fighting and laughing with each other, no matter how they looked, it looked like two people in love were flirting and scolding, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile......

Soon, Xia Chuchu's white and greasy face began to glow with a hint of reddish water, and his eyes were a little misty, obviously a little drunk.

After having another drink with Ye Ming, she suddenly asked, "Ye Ming, tell me: Why do you have such good martial arts?" Is it because your father is a martial arts master? ”

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, his expression immediately dimmed, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine silently, and then said in a somewhat sad tone: "Director Xu, Miss Xia, I can't hide it: I'm an orphan now!" I didn't have a father since I was a child, and my mother was a middle school teacher, and she worked hard to raise me so that I could finish college and be admitted to the local tax system. However, not long after I started working, and before I could repay her for raising her, she fell ill and died......"

As he said this, his voice began to choke, and tears glistened with tears in his eyes.

Xia Chuchu had been listening in a daze, but when he heard his last words, for some reason, he suddenly felt a burst of sadness, and tears immediately rolled down his cheeks like beads of broken threads......

Xu Fei had never heard Ye Ming talk about his family situation, and at this moment he heard that he had no father since he was a child, and his mother died of illness a few years ago, he was also very surprised, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother, you are now self-reliant and self-reliant." Your mother would have been very happy if she knew that you were so promising. Today is a happy day, so don't bask in this sad mood...... By the way, the dude took the liberty of asking: What the hell is going on with your father? Did your mother talk to you? ”

Xu Fei shook his head and said a little confused: "For me, my father has always been a mystery. I heard from my neighbors that they had never seen my father. My mother graduated from Capital Normal University, and when she was assigned to graduate, she took the initiative to apply to return to our hometown to teach in a rural middle school. Moreover, she gave birth to me a few months after she arrived at school, and for this reason, many villagers still say that my mother was pregnant unmarried at school, and there was really no way to hide in a rural middle school. ”

"Then why don't you ask your mother: where is your father now?"

Xu Fei then asked.

Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I asked. But every time my mother replied, "Don't ask now, and I won't tell you." In the future, if the opportunity comes, you will meet your father. If the opportunity doesn't come, you may never see him for the rest of your life. She also told me: Don't hate your father. My life in the past few decades has been chosen by myself willingly, and has nothing to do with your father. So, until my mother died, she didn't leave me the slightest clue to find my father, but only gave me a piece of jade on her deathbed, saying that this jade was given to her by my father......"

When he said this, Xia Chuchu next to him couldn't stop crying......

At this moment, Ye Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he picked it up, it was the number of Team Leader Zou of the Xinleng County Bureau.

"Ye Ming, hurry up and rent a taxi overnight to go home, I have something very important to tell you."

Ye Ming was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Team Leader Zou, what's the matter?" Can't you say it on the phone? ”

"Tell me the truth: Did you go to the provincial capital to petition the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or the Letters and Visits Office?"

"No, what am I going to visit? I told you a long time ago: this is over, and I don't want to talk about it anymore. ”

Team Leader Zou was silent on the phone for a few seconds, and then said carefully: "Let me tell you: The day before yesterday, the Supervision and Inspection Office of the Municipal Bureau received a call from the Supervision Office of the Provincial Bureau, saying that the Law Enforcement Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection called the Supervision Department and asked them to pay attention to the case you were punished to see if there was a problem that the punishment was too heavy or the basis for the punishment was insufficient. The leaders of the city bureau were very angry about this, thinking that you had deliberately gone to the province to petition. After Li Li heard about it, he went to the city bureau to find the leaders and asked you to reopen the case for investigation. According to the information I have received, it seems that the party group of the city bureau has reached a unanimous opinion and is ready to take shuanggui measures against you, investigate the problem of your beating again, and at the same time prepare to dig deep into your work style and other problems in building a clean and honest government. So, I advise you to come back immediately and stop staying in the provincial capital. ”

Ye Ming was both shocked and angry, and he didn't have time to explain anything to Xu Fei and Xia Chuchu, after hanging up the phone, he said to the two of them, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to rush back to Xinleng", and hurriedly walked out of the hotel, took a taxi, and returned to the Xinleng County Bureau overnight.

Sure enough, as Team Leader Zou said, the next day, Ye Ming was shuanggui by the Supervision and Examination Office of the Local Taxation Bureau of K City.
