Chapter 172 - Contentment

He had originally thought that Fu Deren was coming over to have a proper talk with him.

But he didn’t expect Fu Deren to be so arrogant.

Given that, he saw no need to continue talking to him.

If Fu Deren wanted to plot some kind of conspiracy, or seek revenge, Chen Yang was not afraid at all.

Seeing Chen Yang’s sudden firm attitude, and that he had no intention of talking,

Fu Deren’s happy-go-lucky facade vanished as well.

His entire expression turned cold in an instant.

“Chen Yang, I gave you a chance, I hope you don’t fail to recognize it,” Fu Deren stood up and said with an icy face.

“Kid, my big brother personally made the trip here, which is already taking good care of you.

If you don’t recognize that, and something happens in the future, don’t come to regret it.” At that moment, one of Fu Deren’s underlings also spoke out indignantly.

Pointing at Chen Yang was a warning, as if their appearance here to warn Chen Yang was giving him a chance.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile, then glared at the underling who had interrupted.

Scuffle scuffle scuffle.

The underling directly retreated several steps, intimidated by just one look from Chen Yang.

“I’m letting you go now, which is also giving you a chance, otherwise, if you truly anger me, you will regret it,” Chen Yang shouted angrily at Fu Deren.

Fu Deren looked at his terrified underling, his face turning ugly.

“Fine, since you’re so bold, we’ll wait and see.

Also, please remember what you said today,” Fu Deren huffed, then put on his sunglasses, called his underlings, and left Chen Yang’s clinic.

From Fu Deren’s expression and the way he left, it was clear that he was infuriated.

But the things he showed had no effect on Chen Yang at all.

After leaving the clinic, his gang of underlings quickly got into the car, turned it around, and left the area.

After watching them leave, Chen Yang turned around and continued to lie on the rocking chair, not bothering to think about what had just happened, and not taking Fu Deren seriously at all.

Was Fu Deren just somebody who relied on having a few hooligans under him who could fight?

When it came to fighting, Chen Yang was not afraid of anyone!

“Brother Chen Yang, did someone come by just now?”

Not long after Chen Yang had lain down, the girl suddenly came out from the inner room.

Chen Yang immediately sat up and smiled, “Oh, a few aunties passed by just now, just making small talk.”

Chen Yang didn’t want to tell the girl about Fu Deren’s visit.

Because he was worried she might worry about him.

The girl, hearing what Chen Yang said, didn’t think much about it.

It was normal for the aunties to chat a bit when they passed by the door.

She nodded her head and then sat down on her usual chair, starting to read a book.

Chen Yang lay down again, occasionally dozing off, sometimes teasing the girl, admiring her stunning beauty.

After Fu Deren left Chen Yang’s house.

He was furious all the way.

“Such an ignorant kid, daring to provoke me, Fu Deren, he’s really seeking death!” Fu Deren sat in the passenger seat, his face full of anger.

The driver and the underlings sitting in the back seat, seeing Fu Deren so angry, were trembling with fear.

They knew better than anyone else how ruthless their boss was.

“Brother Ren, what should we do now?

Send a couple of brothers to deal with him, or what?” The underling who had been intimidated by Chen Yang’s gaze asked timidly from the driver seat.

Fu Deren rolled down the window, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and after a moment of silence, laughed sinisterly, “Would it not be a waste to deal with him directly?

I want to make him taste what despair is like!”

Hearing the laughter, the underlings shivered.

It seemed like they understood something.

“So Brother Ren, what should we do next?” Wang An continued to ask.

Fu Deren sneered, flicked his cigarette out of the window, then said, “That kid has several farms, right?

Start with the farms and break him down step by step, and let him witness the means of Fu Deren.”

“Got it, Brother Ren,” Wang An immediately nodded, grasping Fu Deren’s intention.

Afterward, they drove straight to Shangshan Village.

On the other side, time passed quickly in the clinic.

Chen Yang took several naps, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon, with the sun about to set.

Chen Yang stood up, looked around, and then stretched lazily.

“Xiaoxiao, you’ve been reading books all afternoon, tired, huh?

Shall we go for a walk?” Chen Yang said with a smile to Xiaoxiao.

At these words, Xiaoxiao immediately nodded with a smile, “Yes, I’ve been reading books all day, and I’m really a bit tired.”

“Okay, then let’s go out and stroll.”

Chen Yang gave a slight smile, then went to the backyard and brought the Eagle Brother along.

The mountains in the summer were most comfortable during the afternoon.

It was not only cool but the breeze between the mountains felt exceptionally comfortable on the skin.

Chen Yang walked through the fields and woods with Xiaoxiao, feeling particularly pleasant.

And Eagle Brother in the sky occasionally flapped its wings close to them, stirring a breeze that kept them cool.

“Chen Yang, how did you tame Eagle Brother to be so obedient?

Sometimes I feel it’s not like an eagle at all,” Xiaoxiao walked beside Chen Yang and looked up at the circling Eagle Brother and said.

Chen Yang also looked up at Eagle Brother and smiled, “What do you think it resembles then?”

Xiaoxiao was taken aback, “Hmm…

I don’t know what it resembles, but it just feels extraordinary.”

Chen Yang laughed inwardly.

Of course, it was extraordinary, it was an animal that had eaten a taming pill, and its intelligence was very high.

This was what Chen Yang thought, but naturally, he couldn’t say it out loud.

“Haha, Eagle Brother is actually quite normal, just a bit smarter than the usual animals,” Chen Yang laughed and played it off, then pointed to a hill not far away, “Let’s go sit over there.

I remember when we were children, we loved to play on that hill.”

Xiaoxiao followed the direction Chen Yang was pointing and looked over, then she remembered some things from her childhood.

Her cheeks involuntarily blushed slightly.

“Okay,” Xiaoxiao answered softly.

Seeing the blush on Xiaoxiao’s face, Chen Yang also recalled childhood memories.

Back then, they were both young and naive.

They often played house on that hill…

He would play the husband, Xiaoxiao the wife, using the grass as a bed, and they even slept on it…

As children, it might have seemed fun, but looking back as adults, it seemed somewhat embarrassing.

“Cough cough.”

Chen Yang coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, and then led Xiaoxiao towards the hill.

Arriving at the hill, they sat on the grass.

Blowing in the cool breeze of the afternoon, looking at the surrounding scenery, both felt very comfortable.

However, sitting there, they found they had little to talk about.

They just quietly enjoyed this comfort and tranquility.

Until the sky was about to turn dark, they both departed.

On the way back from the hill, they had to pass by the pheasant farm.

Looking at the large pheasant farm, Chen Yang said to Eagle Brother, “Blackie won’t target you anymore; you should stay around here from now on to avoid getting bored at home.”

After the incident last time, Chen Yang had Eagle Brother stay in the backyard again.

The backyard was rather small, and surrounded by other villagers’ homes, which made Eagle Brother very uncomfortable.

Every day, it fluttered back and forth across several short trees in the backyard.

Hearing this, Eagle Brother immediately called out excitedly twice, then straightaway spread its wings and rushed to the tree it had previously nested in.

Standing on the towering tree, Eagle Brother immediately looked spirited.

It seemed to have returned to its home turf.

“With Eagle Brother here, this farm is even safer than at home,” Chen Yang chuckled, then took Xiaoxiao’s hand, and they went back.
