Yang Yichen furrowed his brows slightly; the noise made his heart sink a little. He glanced at Yang Bingshan and said, "You should leave quickly!"
Yang Bingshan's old face flushed, and he cleared his throat. "It's not easy for me to come back once; can't I at least see you?" Yet, there was always a hint of embarrassment in his heart.
"No need. You should take care of yourself! I don't need anything here!" Throughout the conversation, Yang Yichen never referred to him as "father."
There were many times when he felt nothing for this father!
"You..." Yang Bingshan pointed at Yang Yichen in anger, his face turning bright red!
At that moment, a woman dressed in a red long skirt, adorned with a golden butterfly hairpin, her makeup heavy and her slender waist accentuated, walked in with a graceful sway.
A sweet voice spilled from her cherry lips: "Master! I've missed you!"
With a flirtatious glance, she gently caressed Yang Bingshan's chest, making him melt instantly.
"Hahaha! Yan'er, you understand me well. I’ve missed you too; let’s go!" He lightly wrapped his arm around the woman's delicate shoulders and they left together.
Wen Family gently patted Yang Yichen's shoulder. "Yichen, don’t take it to heart!"
"Mother, I’m fine; I’ve long since let it go!" He gazed into the distance, watching Yang Bingshan and the woman leave without stirring any emotions within him.
Many years ago, he would have stood up for his mother, felt sad about his father's distrust, and racked his brain to earn his father's affection.
But now, he had long accepted it. Watching Yang Bingshan change women one after another and seeing more and more illegitimate children in the backyard only made him smile self-deprecatingly.
His own physical weakness stemmed from this chaotic household; the struggles of living with his mother had forged his current stable position and resilient spirit!
"Mother, you rest; I’ll head back to my courtyard first!"
"Okay, be careful, Anan. Take good care of Young Master!" Wen Family was fully focused on Yang Yichen!
Nodding lightly, Yang Yichen left Wen Family's courtyard under Anan's care.
As soon as he entered his room, the warm smile on Yang Yichen's face disappeared immediately. "Anan, close the door!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Anan's demeanor changed dramatically, no longer resembling the ordinary servant seen by outsiders; a chilling aura emanated from him, instilling fear in those around.
"Let them in!" Yang Yichen commanded, and Anan gestured towards the outside.
In just a few moments, two figures clad in black entered: "Master!" If they did not speak, no one would notice their presence.
The black clothing blended seamlessly with the cold silence of the air.
"How is the task I assigned you going?" Yang Yichen's face turned icy, his cold voice sending shivers down spines.
"Reporting to Master, it has been completed and we are ready to follow your orders at any time!" the two black-clad figures replied in a mechanical tone.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, each sound resonating deep within the soul. After a long pause, he spoke again: "Alright, continue monitoring. Do not alert the enemy. Also, unless there are unexpected developments, do not report to me!"
"Understood!" The visitors responded respectfully and then left as silently as they had come.
Beside him, Anan was puzzled: "Young Master, why don't you continue..."
"No! It is far more interesting to torment them slowly. The pain inflicted upon my mother and me must be repaid double!"
With a snap, the cup in his hand shattered into dust, vanishing into thin air.
Anan showed no reaction, as if this were the most ordinary occurrence.
Who would have thought that the sickly Young Master of the Yang Family possessed such extraordinary skills? Who would have imagined that the seemingly ordinary Anan could remain so unfazed?
At this moment, Anan recalled his former life; perhaps at three or five years old, he was just an ordinary beggar on the streets, easily bullied by others.
With no one to rely on and nowhere to call home, he went wherever he could find food. But he was just like other children—lost in a life without aspirations or direction.
Until one day, while being chased and beaten, he encountered the boy before him. At that time, Yang Yichen was also just a child!
Each step took effort as he was carefully cradled by a servant of the Yang Family. Yet in that moment, the seemingly frail child uttered a single sentence that saved him!
"I want him to play with me!"
Thus, he became Yang Yichen's playmate!
He once envied the young master's life, free from worries about food and clothing, living in abundance!
But when he truly understood, he realized how difficult Yang Yichen's life was!
Yang Bingshan was a very fickle man, unable to resist beautiful women!
And after giving birth, Wen Family had been weak and gradually losing weight, which naturally did not attract his favor. Consequently, Yang Yichen was often bullied by the women in the backyard!
However, the young man endured each time, not letting his wife know, fearing that Wen Family would worry!
It wasn't until later, through a chance encounter, that they gradually improved their situation!
As time passed, Anan recalled all those years of life and sighed at the intrigues within the big family.
A light sigh escaped unconsciously.
"Let's go, we should head back!" Pushing open the door, Yang Yichen felt the warm sunlight and thought of the girl's warm smile and rosy cheeks, unable to help but smile!
At that moment, concerned about her son, Wen Family came over: "Yichan, what's wrong? Are you leaving now?" She felt quite reluctant.
"Mother, I'll come back to see you in a few days. If you want, you can come back to the countryside with me!"
"No need. I'm used to staying at home. You can come back whenever you want!" Wen Family always held back her reluctance as she sent her son off!
"Yichan, I won't leave. I'll stay here and watch over those people who are asking for trouble, guarding what belongs to you!" she silently thought to herself!
At the same time, elsewhere, Liu Qingxi sold the rabbit and wild chicken. This time it wasn't live animals, so the price was a bit lower, but still amounted to five Ten Wen!
Happily heading to the grocery store to buy food and stock up on some necessary oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, before long, most of the money was spent!
Kid looked at the meat bun with a pitiful expression, unable to move, leaving her speechless. Didn't she just eat meat yesterday to satisfy her cravings?
Liu Qingyan's world of food was beyond the understanding of ordinary people; as long as it was delicious, it was impossible not to like it!
"Alright, alright, can I buy you one?" Liu Qingxi genuinely felt like she had raised a pig!
"No... it's fine!" Liu Qingyan waved her hand in refusal, knowing that their money was running low.
But still... could you not look at it so hungrily?
Liu Qingxi felt defeated, but Kid's sensible demeanor pleased her, so she bought him a meat bun anyway!
In short, money is earned, not saved. Liu Qingxi adhered to this principle and absolutely refused to be stingy!
Liu Qingyan was satisfied, and a smile spread across her face uncontrollably!
Just as the two were carrying their baskets and preparing to leave Biqi Town, the same carriage from the morning stopped in front of them!
"Qingxi, get in the car!"
Leaving Liu Qingxi standing there with a face full of black lines...
