Chapter 17: What Is Going On On This Day?
Still in the large family room, Chen Qiang and the others are now busily preparing for the feast. Although after the remark from Zhang Ping made the atmosphere become awkward and not warm like in the start, but because they are busily preparing the feast now, at least it made livelier than just sitting there and felt awkward to talk.
Just as Chen Qiang placed the food from the kitchen to the large table, one of the guards in this house which is the subordinate of Da Hongli telling them that Da Hongli and his family had arrived in front of the gate and have been coming here. Then he saw Zhang Kai, who was also preparing the food looking so excited, and he vigorously walked out to the outside, seems wanted to greet them.
Without a second thought, he also walked out, following Zhang Kai. After all, he was the host and also the one who suggested Da Hongli's family come here with great difficulty.
He then also arrived outside the house after Zhang Kai. He saw him and Da Hongli hugging each other and two other people. It seems they are Li Hua and Li Wei, the family of Da Hongli.
Li Hua is now 40 years old, 3 years younger than her husband. She still looks young despite her age, not much different from his impression on the last time he met her a long time ago.
While Li Wei, she is just stood there chewing gum, seems feeling bored. She didn't look very feminine, so different than her mother. She only wears jeans and a casual shirt.
Chen Qiang doesn't have an impression toward her as he seems never met with her. Although he knew that she was one year older than him.
She has some blonde hair on her which gets tied. She also has an athletic body and can be considered to have the high stature, maybe around 170 cm, not much different from him who is 176 cm. Her expression shows that she was not interested in meeting them as she has 'not care' expression on her face.
Well, he also didn't care about it as he has achieved his purpose.
After Da Hongli had hugged Zhang Kai, he saw Chen Qiang also coming to greet them. He gives a very different impression from the last time they met, he now has a manlier body which got highlighted by his tight shirt, his well-toned body seems will make his shirt get torn. It is making him so contrast from the pale and lean man beforehand.
However, it was not because of it that took his attention the most, but something different from him. Like his calm look and tranquil aura. Although it was not anything standout as normal people would view it as something ordinary. However, for him who is a mercenary, it gives a very different impression to him.
After all his profession is taking serious importance to the peoples even from their first meeting as it was very needed for them to judge their subjects like enemies or even friends in every situation.
Chen Qiang calm's look seems very hard for him to judge, like what he is thinking, feeling, will do and etc if placed in every event that he needs to judge him. Like in gambling or even in the place of his enemy. It is as if he is facing an experienced soldier instead.
Moreover, his normal tranquil aura seems to give the domineering and pressure to him. Although he knows that he is training very hard, there is not something that can get by only training, no matter how hard it was as they would also need many experiences to have a disposition like these. And it which attracted his attention.
Chen Qiang noticed that Da Hongli was gazing at him strangely when he examined his family, he then smiled and greeted them, "Welcome home uncle, aunt Li Hua."
Li Hua was surprised by the appearance of the man who greeted them, she then asked. "Are you Chen Qiang?!"
"Of course it is me, are you have forgot me?" Chen Qiang replied with a smile.
"I'm not, I'm just surprised that you became so manlier than your father, after all, you were so thin and pale like a woman when you were young." Li Hua answered Chen Qiang while approaching him and then hugging him.
"By the way she is your sister, Li Wei." Li Hua then introduced her daughter to Chen Qiang.
"Hello, sister. Finally, we can see each other. I'm Chen Qiang and Nice to meet you." Chen Qiang greeted Li Wei artificially while stretching out his hand.
"Hello." Li Wei also stretching her hand and shake it with Chen Qiang. However, she answered with a flat voice and hurriedly took back her hand.
Chen Qiang didn't slightly feel bothered with it, he then looking back to Li Hua and asked with a smile, "Aunt, how with the journey? You must be tired from it, right? So let's get in and don't stand here any longer."
Although Li Wei feels slightly displeased about her daughter's actions, she still cannot blame her as she and her husband were literally forced her to change her living environment and her university.
Then they went in together to the house, making the house even livelier as Li Hua and Lan Shuang, the wife of Zhang Kai seem will never stop their chatting.
Li Wei has been feeling bored despite the lively on this room. However, her interest seemed piqued when she saw the four dogs which were lying in the corner room on the sofa. She then approached them while getting wondered when she saw the scars on the two dogs.
'Are they are hunting dogs?' she thought.
Just when Li Wei was near the four dogs, all of them suddenly opened their eyes and stared at her, made her surprised. However, her interest seems to get more piqued by it as she continues approaching and then stretching her hand, toward the different dog that has scars on its face. That dog let out the deep-low growl since she stretched her hand toward it, then that dog also stretching its head toward her hand while keep staring at her.
However, just when her hand is slightly near the dog.
"Stop!!!" She suddenly hears a loud voice that seems toward her. She annoyingly looks at the source of the voice, only look Chen Qiang staring at her, no, he stared toward the dog that she wanted to touch. The loud voice also makes everyone focused on him.
The dog, which has the name Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi (Little 51), let out a low-pitiful whimper when it saw Chen Qiang staring toward itself after he shouted.
This made Li Wei getting more annoyed and could not bear to interrogate him.
"What are you doing shouting like that?!" She asked with an angry expression to Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang looked toward Li Wei who asked him with an angry expression.
With a concorted face, he thought, 'This silly girl, what she knows. If I didn't stop it, she would have a bloody hand now!'
When he heard the low growl from his dog. He immediately looked toward it. Just seeing this ignorant girl stretching her hand toward one of his dogs, which has been feeling irritated and ready to bite on her. He immediately shouted to stop it.
However, it is still his mistake that he didn't move them today. It was due to the habit that his two dogs would always be together with him and they are also living with him in this house, made him didn't have the thought to move them as he believed that they would not act aggressively toward his close people.
In the end, he belittled Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi's (Little 51) aggressiveness, which is the pinscher kind. He forgot that his pets were an only ordinary dog, despite how high they intelligent were, they are still animals. It is impossible for them to only take the right action. It seems it was Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi (Little 51) who regarded Li Wei as a complete stranger and felt irritated when she wanted to touch it.
Because his training also not only made them obedient and stronger, but it also made them more aggressive and wild. After all, he trained them not to make them be his obedient pets, but to be the powerful killing tool for him to use in the upcoming event.
Seeing Chen Qiang ignoring her, she then continued to ask him while feeling annoyed, "Hey! Don't ignore me. Why? Do you shout like that?!"
"I'm just doing it to make you did not get the harm" With a slightly cold voice he replied.
"Harm? Do you mock me? Just because I am a girl, I cannot touch your hunting dogs?!"
"You don't know anything. They are not ordinary hunting dogs."
"What is extraordinary? I can fight with a lot of them barehanded." She said with a mocking face.
"Owh you are very strong then, huh?" Chen Qiang asked while feeling amused to see her proud expression.
"Sister Wei, don't be angry. Brother Chen Qiang really had good intentions. These dogs are really very fierce. We can show to you later if you don't believe it" Lan Yue said to Li Wei to ease the atmosphere a bit.
"Yes, I can show how strong my Xiao Wu (Little 5) to you." Chen Xi added with a proud expression.
This made Chen Qiang face become concorted again and have the thought to take back his dogs again from his sisters.
"Hey kids, don't make the scenes anymore and just start the meal." Zhang Kai said after facepalmed himself. What is actually going on on this day?!
While Da Hongli who was seated beside him, cannot help but get an awkward face. Initially, he gets startled by Chen Qiang loud voice, then intense when seeing Chen Qiang and his daughter arguing, and afterward, he didn't know what he was feeling when seeing this just became a scene for a little girl to boast about.
