He had barely pressed the doorbell for a second or two when the door opened.
It was Yang Ruoxi who came to open the door.
The moment Yang Ruoxi opened the door, her face was still full of excitement, but upon seeing Chen Yang, her little face instantly fell into a look of grievance.
Sob sob sobâŚ
âChen YangâŚâ
Crying, Yang Ruoxi stretched out both of her arms and hugged Chen Yang, and he hurriedly opened his arms to welcome her.
Then, the two of them embraced each other.
The sound of Yang Ruoxi sobbing loudly made Chen Yangâs heart ache.
âSob sob sobâŚ
Chen Yang, Iâve missed you so much.
I couldnât go out, I couldnât play with my phone, and I was locked up at home all the time.
Itâs been so boring, so miserable.â
While crying, Yang Ruoxi also poured out her grievances to Chen Yang.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang quickly offered comfort, âYeah yeah, Iâve missed you too.
Donât cry, Ruoxi, everyone is watching.
After today, youâll be free.â
A second before, Yang Ruoxi was crying bitterly, but upon hearing that everyone was watching, her crying suddenly stopped.
When she looked back, sure enough, all eyes in the room, sitting on the couch, were fixed on her and Chen Yang.
Yang Ruoxiâs face instantly felt hot and turned red.
âAhem.â
At this moment, Li Han at the side coughed twice, breaking the awkwardness.
âRuoxi, letâs go inside first, and talk after we go in.â
Li Han said with a smile to Ruoxi.
Just now, Yang Ruoxiâs attention had been entirely on Chen Yang, and she only remembered Li Han when she heard her voice.
âSister!
Iâve missed you too.â
Excitedly, Yang Ruoxi hugged Li Han and then the three of them walked into the house together.
Upon entering the house, Chen Yang immediately looked over at the couch in the living room.
On the couch in the living room sat five men.
Three of them were Li Hanâs father, Yang Ruoxiâs father, and Old Master Li.
The other two were young men about Chen Yangâs age, whom he did not recognize.
However, from the moment Chen Yang walked into the house, the gazes of these two young men had been unfriendly toward him.
Chen Yang noticed this.
While Chen Yang was guessing who these two were and why they were here, Li Han at the side suddenly let out a small exclamation in surprise.
âSss!
How come heâs here!â
Hearing the unexpected tone in Li Hanâs voice, Chen Yang couldnât help but ask curiously in a low voice, âWho is this?â
âThatâs the son of the rich man that uncle was forcing Ruoxi to marry!
Iâve seen the photos!â
Li Han replied in a whisper.
Upon learning the manâs identity, Chen Yang instantly understood why the man had been looking at him with displeasure the moment he walked in.
So it was a love rival.
The corner of Chen Yangâs mouth lifted slightly as he approached the couch.
âOld Master Li, Uncle Li, Uncle Yang.â
Chen Yang approached and greeted them very politely.
âMm-hmm.â
Yang Tiancheng, seeing Chen Yang arrive, just nodded slightly, his demeanor neither cold nor warm.
However, Li Hanâs father and Old Master Li were much more enthusiastic.
âYouâre here?
Come, sit down.
Your aunt and the others are in the kitchen preparing food, and weâll be eating soon,â Li Hanâs father said with a smile.
âYes, Divine Doctor, itâs been a long time since youâve visited, and the old master here has been wanting to consult with you about some health knowledge,â Old Master Li said warmly.
âSure, Uncle Li,â Chen Yang said with a smile, nodding his head.
Then he turned to Old Master Li, âOld Master, you want knowledge about maintaining health?
After dinner, Iâll talk to you about this topic.â
âAlright, alright, alright!
We must have a good chat later.â
Old Master Li had a very good impression of Chen Yang, after all, Chen Yang had treated his illness before.
After briefly greeting everyone, Chen Yang prepared to take a seat.
But at that moment, Yang Ruoxi suddenly noticed the antique wooden box that Chen Yang casually placed on the table.
So she immediately asked out of curiosity, âHey, Chen Yang, whatâs this?â
With that one question from Yang Ruoxi, everyoneâs gaze shifted towards it.
âOh, this is a little gift I prepared for the Old Master.â
Chen Yang said quite nonchalantly.
âA gift?
Whatâs inside?â Yang Ruoxi continued to ask with curiosity, even walking over, wanting to open it to have a look.
It wasnât just Yang Ruoxi who was curious; the Old Master, Yang Tiancheng, and Father Li were curious as well.
Before Yang Ruoxi could open it, however, an irritating voice suddenly erupted.
âHmph, what good can come from a shabby wooden box given by a poor country bumpkin?â
âComing over for a meal and bringing such rubbish, you really have some nerve.â
Following the voice, it came from a man sitting at one end of the sofa, his face full of disdain.
As soon as those harsh words were spoken, everyone frowned.
Yang Ruoxi was especially infuriated on the spot.
âZhou Qianzheng!
What are you talking about?â
Just a moment ago, the man called Zhou Qianzheng displayed complete disdain, but upon looking at Yang Ruoxi, his face softened immediately.
âRuoxi, what Iâm saying is the truth.
Who brings junk as a gift when they go to someone elseâs home to eat?â
Zhou Qianzhengâs expression became scornful again as he looked at Chen Yang, âOnly those without upbringing from the backwoods can come up with such things to give.â
Zhou Qianzheng and Chen Yang, in a sense, were rivals in love.
Their confrontation had turned the atmosphere tense; everyone present was caught off guard and had not anticipated this.
Including Chen Yang.
Nonetheless, Chen Yang was merely momentarily startled before a playful smile appeared on his face.
âYouâŚâ
At this point, Yang Ruoxi, clearly angered, wanted to defend Chen Yang, but Chen Yang stopped her.
Chen Yang took a step forward, confronting Zhou Qianzheng.
âYou keep saying that an uncultured person from the backwoods gives gifts, so Iâm quite curious, what does a wealthy person like you bring when you go to someoneâs home for dinner?â Chen Yang asked with a smile.
âHmph.â
Zhou Qianzheng, his face full of contempt, pointed to a corner of Li Hanâs home and said, âLook over there; all those are the gifts I brought for Old Master Li.
Knowing that the Old Masterâs health isnât good, I brought all kinds of top-quality nourishments.â
After speaking, Zhou Qianzheng arrogantly pointed at Chen Yangâs wooden box and said, âYou see your broken wooden box, is it comparable at all?â
Chen Yang followed Zhou Qianzhengâs direction and looked over.
Indeed, the corner was filled with various types of supplements, birdâs nest, deer antler, ginsengâŚ
a series of costly supplements available on the market.
However, those things did not catch Chen Yangâs eye.
âAnd here I thought you brought something good, turns out itâs just a pile of trash,â Chen Yang said with a cold laugh.
âWhat!!â
Zhou Qianzheng instantly flew into a rage, almost slamming the table and standing up.
âWhat did you say?â
Zhou Qianzheng glared at Chen Yang, appearing extremely angry.
Chen Yangâs words made Zhou Qianzheng fly into a rage on the spot, which took everyone by surprise.
Yang Tiancheng, who was closest to Zhou Qianzheng, frowned, thinking that Zhou Qianzheng was behaving inappropriately.
At the same time, he felt Chen Yang was being a bit too boastful.
Although the things Zhou Qianzheng brought might not be anything special,
they were at least of considerable value, in contrast with Chen Yangâs gift, which didnât seem comparable at all.
Even so, he did not make his position known but chose to quietly observe the subsequent developments.
Both Father Li and Old Master Li knew that Yang Tianchengâs silence meant something, so they too did not speak up, sitting quietly on the sofa, watching both parties.
