Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035
Secretary Xu arrived at the scene and immediately spotted Ding Fan and Mu Zi.
During the day, while accompanying Xiao Chuan on official duties, Secretary Xu had seen these two people. At that time, Xiao Chuan was extremely respectful towards them.
Xiao Chuan is a classic example of fairness and integrity, so anyone he would treat with such respect must be someone of considerable influence.
Moreover, Secretary Xu was aware that this evening, Xiao Chuan's father, Elder Niu, had specifically hosted a family dinner to invite these two individuals.
Who is Elder Niu? He is a renowned war hero from the founding battles, and it's said he has connections with numerous influential figures in Yanjing.
In Liyi City, he is a highly respected individual and every year, leaders from the city and the province would proactively visit Elder Niu during the New Year.
And for someone like Elder Niu to personally invite Ding Fan and Mu Zi, what does that indicate? It indicates that these two must have impressive backgrounds.
So upon seeing Ding Fan and Mu Zi, Secretary Xu hurriedly jogged over to them.
"What are you two doing here?"
Off to the side, Niu Qiang was completely dumbfounded. What's going on here?
That Xiao Chuan is Niu Qiang's father. In Liyi City, Xiao Chuan is the Deputy Mayor, essentially second only to the mayor.
There are numerous people scrambling to curry favor with the Deputy Mayor's secretary. And now, Secretary Xu was proactively greeting Ding Fan and Mu Zi.
While Niu Qiang was still in shock, the two traffic officers were also bewildered.
You must know, it's not just them, but even the captain of the traffic division would show great respect to Secretary Xu. How could someone honored by Secretary Xu be an ordinary person?
For a moment, both were secretly relieved they had upheld the law properly before. Otherwise, they knew the repercussions of offending the powerful.
There are many traffic officers who've been dismissed for being oblivious.
At this point, these two traffic officers realized they had no place to speak here, so they sensibly stayed aside quietly.
Ding Fan, by now, had figured out Niu Qiang's identity.
It seems, through the earlier phone call and the interaction between Niu Qiang and Secretary Xu, Ding Fan was sure that Niu Qiang was indeed Elder Niu's grandson and Xiao Chuan's son, as Mu Zi mentioned.
Ding Fan couldn't help but sigh at the coincidence of the world.
Mu Zi also recognized who had arrived. "What else could we be doing? Look, he crashed into my car."
At this point, Mu Zi flatly insisted that it was indeed Niu Qiang who had hit his car.
"You…" Niu Qiang was somewhat angered.
However, before Niu Qiang could say a word, Secretary Xu already started speaking.
"Niu Qiang, shut your mouth!" Secretary Xu's voice was almost reprimanding.
Secretary Xu had worked alongside his father for years, but he had never been scolded this way before.
While Niu Qiang was still in shock, Secretary Xu continued. "Niu Qiang, these two are the guests Elder Niu is inviting for dinner tonight..."
Niu Qiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Niu Qiang knew that his grandfather was hosting a dinner tonight, but he never imagined the guests would be these two individuals right in front of him.
He heard that the guests invited by his grandfather tonight were very influential, supposedly big shots from Yanjing, and the visitors were also supposed to treat his sister's illness.
Finally, Niu Qiang understood why Secretary Xu had treated him that way earlier. He was protecting him, fearing that Niu Qiang might further offend them.
"Aren't you going to apologize?" Secretary Xu prompted Niu Qiang.
"Honored guests, I apologize…" After a moment of hesitation, Niu Qiang approached Ding Fan and apologized as if he was a schoolboy admitting his mistake to a teacher.
Niu Qiang's friends behind him were all stunned.
Who is Niu Qiang? In Liyi City, he is a formidable figure, and there are not many in the elite circle who don't know him.
With an aloof nature, this proud guy would not fear even if the sky fell.
And yet, such a person apologized after someone kicked the bumper of his sports car!
If it hadn't happened right in front of them, everyone would think it was impossible.
In truth, Niu Qiang's friends didn't understand.
While Niu Qiang was very proud, it was all about who he was dealing with.
How could he easily offend Ding Fan and Mu Zi?
Elder Niu had told him that these two had the chance to treat his sister's illness. How could Niu Qiang dare to offend people like that?
He's been very close to his sister since childhood, so regardless of anything else, just for his sister, he wouldn't dare to not bow down.
At this point, Mu Zi also understood.
She didn't expect that the spoiled brat in front of her was Elder Niu's grandson. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Elder Niu and Elder Mu have had a friendship for years. She didn't expect that upon meeting, they'd be met with her mischief.
Even with her thick skin, Mu Zi felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.
With this, the situation was resolved.
Ding Fan and Mu Zi's car was heading to Elder Niu's house, and having been hit by Elder Niu's son, upon realizing Niu Qiang's identity, what more could they say? Besides, previously Mu Zi had kicked and broken Niu Qiang's sports car bumper.
And at this point, Niu Qiang also had nothing more to say.
After all, Ding Fan and Mu Zi are both honored guests of his family. By now, how could he possibly offend them?
At the moment, Secretary Xu and the traffic police on the side gave a simple explanation, and this traffic accident was handled privately.
After all, Secretary Xu is the secretary of Deputy Mayor Niu Xiaochuan. How could these two traffic policemen dare to say anything else?
After finishing the matter with the traffic police, Ding Fan and Mu Zi finally drove, with Secretary Xu and Niu Qiang, towards the Niu Family.
And those spoiled brats who were previously with Niu Qiang, after everyone had left, began to speculate about the origins of Ding Fan and the others.
"Who exactly are those two people?"
"I think those two are definitely not simple. You know, there are very few people in Liyi City that Niu Qiang is afraid of."
"Isn't that obvious? How could those people be simple? Didn't you see that woman earlier? She kicked and bent the bumper of Niu Qiang's sports car; how could such a person be simple."
"If you ask me, the most extraordinary person is still that man with that woman. That woman is so fierce, kicking and bending the bumper, and yet she is so obedient in front of that man. That man is the most formidable."
For a moment, everyone was guessing what kind of person Ding Fan was.
In the west of Liyi City, Greenwater Residence.
Greenwater Residence is a villa community, and all the housing types here are villas. The layout within the community resembles a forest park.
Rockery, woods, small rivers...
In the bustling city, this place indeed enjoys a quiet and leisurely peace.
All those living in the Greenwater Residential District are influential figures in Liyi City, and even some big stars have made their homes here.
The villa of the Elder Niu family is right here.
Secretary Xu drove in front, greeted the security guards, and then Ding Fan and Niu Qiang's cars entered the community one after another.
Even the well-traveled Mu Zi couldn't help but marvel at the sight of this place. This community is designed entirely in a garden style, and just the small river within is a stroke of genius.
Greenwater Residence…
Clear water and green mountains, truly a place for health and wellness.
Under the guidance of Secretary Xu's leading car, the group quickly arrived at a villa within the community.
This villa, with its antique charm outside, combined with the surrounding mountains and trees, looked somewhat like a residence from a fairy tale world...
After Mu Zi parked the car, everyone stepped out of the vehicle.
By this time, Niu Xiaochuan had been waiting at the villa's door for a while. It seems that after entering the community, Secretary Xu had informed Niu Xiaochuan.
If someone were to see this scene, they would undoubtedly be astonished beyond belief.
You should know, in Liyi City, Niu Xiaochuan is famously fair and honest, and there are very few people he would personally greet.
"Uncle Niu, we meet again." After getting out of the car, Mu Zi displayed a cute and playful demeanor as she walked over.
This Mu Zi is quite clever. By calling him Uncle Niu instead of Deputy Mayor Niu, she fostered a very close atmosphere with just that one word.
Seeing Mu Zi act this way, Niu Qiang, who had experienced her ways before, was quite speechless inside.
Previously, Mu Zi was nothing like her current self when she was messing around with him.
"Mu Zi, I actually guessed you were Elder Mu's daughter at the scene, but I couldn't confirm it, and when I got back, my father even scolded me..."
Niu Xiaochuan teased without any official airs in front of Mu Zi.
Niu Xiaochuan glanced at Ding Fan beside him. "This must be Young Master Ding Fan, correct?"
Niu Qiang was somewhat doubtful if he had heard his father correctly regarding Ding Fan's title.
After all, Niu Xiaochuan usually looks down on playboys, and he rarely uses 'young master' to address anyone. Yet today, his father called Ding Fan 'Young Master Ding.'
Seeing Niu Xiaochuan greet him, Ding Fan calmly smiled at Niu Xiaochuan. "Greetings, Uncle Niu."
Considering his age, Ding Fan was only about twenty-two or twenty-three, so calling him uncle was indeed appropriate.
Niu Xiaochuan secretly observed Ding Fan.
Though he had observed Ding Fan during the day, it was too general.
This time, when inviting Ding Fan, Elder Mu had highly praised him.
Saying that Ding Fan is a once-in-a-millennium genius...
Such words coming from Elder Mu's mouth were incredibly rare; this evaluation was simply astonishing.
Therefore, Niu Xiaochuan seriously examined Ding Fan once again.
Not boastful nor humble, composed and dignified...
Just this demeanor alone was quite remarkable.
"Young Master Ding, my father is already waiting. Shall we?" Niu Xiaochuan said to Ding Fan after giving him a careful look.
Soon, everyone gathered around Ding Fan and walked into the villa.
"Which one of you invited the Doctor? I'm really curious to see what modern doctors look like." Just as everyone stepped into the villa's hall, a voice came over.
