A while later, Han Jiayuan finally calmed down a bit!
Although her heart still felt as though it held a skittish rabbit, she had indeed relaxed a lot more compared to before.
At the very least, her body, which had been tense like a drawn bow, completely loosened.
After relaxing in this manner, Han Jiayuan looked at Hu Xiaobei squatting in front of her and realized that he was staring intently at her ankle!
Looking at his unwavering gaze, a slight smile formed on her lips...
"Indeed! He is my own Xiaobei brother, definitely not a stranger! So, there really is no need for me to be nervous!"
After reassuring herself with these thoughts, she felt her racing heartbeat slow down.
Hu Xiaobei, oblivious to Han Jiayuan's inner turmoil at that moment, did notice she was now much more relaxed than before because when he had first held her ankle, he could feel her entire being tensed to the extreme!
"Okay, it's not a serious injury!"
After confirming that Han Jiayuan's ankle was just a minor abrasion, Hu Xiaobei relaxed quite a bit.
After smiling at Han Jiayuan, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Jiayuan, remember to be more careful in the future, okay?"
Han Jiayuan hadn't finished speaking when she stopped, because at that moment, she saw her pink sports shoe being taken off by Hu Xiaobei...
"Xiaobei brother, you..."
"I need to reposition your ankle, so I have to remove your shoes and socks!"
As he explained, Hu Xiaobei grabbed the top of her sock and peeled the pure white sports sock off her delicate, fair foot...
Instantly, a foot as elegant and translucent as a lotus was revealed before Hu Xiaobei...
"Your foot shape is incredible!"
Amidst sincere admiration, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but thoroughly examine it...
Hu Xiaobei found Han Jiayuan's foot shape to be quite similar to Han Xueyao's, except Jiayuan's instep was even more slender...
At that moment, delicate blue veins were faintly visible on Han Jiayuan's pale, jade-like instep...
"Xiaobei brother, what are you looking at!"
Han Jiayuan, feeling self-conscious under his intense gaze, bit her red lip, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Having clearly sensed Han Jiayuan's embarrassment, Hu Xiaobei smiled.
Soon after, Hu Xiaobei gently grasped her dainty foot...
In an instant, he felt Han Jiayuan's body tense up again...
Knowing that she had become anxious again, Hu Xiaobei smiled and began treating her.
Elsewhere, Qian Shidie led President Fang and the others to the outskirts of the orchard.
After casting a flattering look at President Fang, Qian Shidie quickly began, "President Fang, this is the place. I painstakingly cultivated all the fruit trees in this orchard. Now, they've all been taken by Hu Xiaobei as his own! President Fang, you must stand up for me!"
Hearing Qian Shidie speak so plaintively, President Fang reassured her, "Don't worry, you're my person; I absolutely won't let you suffer any loss."
"Thank you, President Fang!"
Upon hearing him express his gratitude, President Fang casually waved his hand.
Afterward, President Fang squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the enormous orchard before him. He noticed that indeed the orchard was bustling with popularity, with over ninety percent of the visitors coming here specifically for it...
"Hu Xiaobei ah, it seems you've made quite a bit of money using this orchard previously! Soon, I will have you cough up all the money you've earned!"
In President Fang's eyes, since these fruit trees were cultivated by Qian Shidie, they belonged to him and the company!
Now that Hu Xiaobei had completely claimed them as his own, he was clearly showing no respect for Fang. Therefore, it was necessary to make him pay a price.
He had to know that some benefits weren't for scum farmers like him to touch!
While making this cold vow privately in his heart, Fang Xiong gazed at the boundless orchard!
In an instant, Fang Xiong became somewhat overexcited. He knew that once he got hold of these fruit trees, the canning factory could truly be revived...
"Hu Xiaobei, you're done for!" Updates are released by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
As Qian Shidie quietly observed Fang Xiong's changing expressions, he guessed what Fang Xiong was thinking at the moment and also reacted with wild laughter inwardly...
While Qian Shidie was bursting into maniacal laughter, Fang Xiong spoke chillingly, "Bring someone here and drive everyone out of the orchard. Seal off this orchard for me temporarily!"
Upon Fang Xiong's order, those eager thugs approached with fierce expressions!
Soon, they began to forcefully evict people...
"What's going on here?"
"Yeah, what's happening?"
The tourists who were driven out of the orchard were completely confused, as they had no clue what had just happened...
Soon, they saw Fang Xiong and Qian Shidie!
After recognizing that Qian Shidie was the same person who had knelt in front of Hu Xiaobei, crying his eyes out just a while ago, they guessed that it was obviously Qian Shidie's resentment from earlier, so now he had come back for revenge...
"What the hell are you doing?"
The people from Xiaohe Village, who worked in the orchard, saw the thugs starting to drive people away and questioned them loudly...
Hearing the questioning, the thugs sneered over and over!
"Get lost, or we'll beat you to death!"
"That's right, get out of here if you don't want to die!"
"Exactly, we've taken over this place!"
Hearing the thugs' threats, the villagers wanted to say something, but Qian Shidie arrogantly spoke first!
"Don't waste your breath. Hurry up and get Hu Xiaobei for me, tell him his days of usurping are over. From now on, the orchard will return in its entirety to its rightful owner!"
After Qian Shidie spoke, all the people from Xiaohe Village recognized him, and their faces instantly showed disdain!
Seeing the undisguised disgust in their eyes, he instantly become furious, "What's with that look? Do you have a death wish?"
"A death wish? Looks like you're the one with the death wish!"
"Yeah, did you forget how you just cried like a sobbing mess?"
"That's right, trash that forgets the pain as soon as the wound heals!"
Disdained in such a way, Qian Shidie said coldly, "I admit that previously, I wasn't as cunning as Hu Xiaobei, so I indeed lost, but this time, with President Fang here personally, I won't lose again. Stop your chatter and fetch Hu Xiaobei for me! You're not worthy of speaking to me, nor to our President Fang!"
"Alright! Just you wait!"
As they were talking, one of the fastest young men immediately raced towards Hu Xiaobei's residence...
At the same time, the news of Qian Shidie bringing people to make trouble again spread throughout Xiaohe Village...
Han Xueyao, who was at home preparing to cook for Hu Xiaobei and Han Jiayan, dropped the vegetables she was picking as soon as she heard the news and walked out resolutely, knowing she was the community leader and had to step forward at this time...
