Zhang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian immediately rose to his feet, set down his teacup, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked toward Zhang Dongyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang also stood up and followed behind Ye Jingtian, her eyes filled with curiosity as she observed Zhang Dongyang sitting atop the cargo truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cropped hair, clothes on his body were incredibly cheap, just like Zhang Fan, he looked very ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was really curious, how such an ordinary-looking man managed to raise Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang’s face showed some embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that at this time, the parents of his son’s little girlfriend would come for a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at his sweat-soaked clothes, Zhang Dongyang leaped down lightly, patted the dust off his body, and seeing Zhang Fan running toward him with a smile, he raised his hand and slapped it on Zhang Fan’s forehead, “Someone’s here, why didn’t you call me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone were coming, he, at the very least, should have dressed up a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the opulence reflected in the attire of Ye Jingtian and his spouse, he naturally knew that these two were either rich or noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did mention to Ye Xuan at noon that they should meet the parents sometime, that was just a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan was still in high school, and meeting the parents was still a long way off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan smiled helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he returned home, he encountered the incident of Zhang Zhongliang selling their family house, then his future mother-in-law suddenly arrived, and just as he brewed a pot of tea, his future father-in-law also hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply hadn’t had the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame Zhang Fan, Brother Zhang, it was our impromptu visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We couldn’t resist when we saw good tea,” Ye Jingtian said with a smile, his gaze also falling on Zhang Dongyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very curious about how such an ordinary-looking guy came to possess a top-grade Da Hong Pao tea for over ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Ye Jingtian extended his hand, laughing, “Ye Jingtian, this is my wife, Qin Shuang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang extended his hand awkwardly and shook hands with Ye Jingtian, then said, “Sorry for the poor welcome, please be forgiving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian shook his head, “We’re all family here, no need for such formalities, come now, try some of my tea-making skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian felt a bit embarrassed, having come in a hurry without bringing any gifts, yet he ended up drinking their top-grade Da Hong Pao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly went over to the stone table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhang Dongyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang’s nostrils flared, then he took a deep breath, tasted the tea lightly, and feeling the rich aroma, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately said to Ye Jingtian, “Impressive skills, far superior to my tea-brewing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian also felt a little proud, after all, this was his only hobby; if he couldn’t even brew tea well, how could he claim to love tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had personally learned tea art in Wuyi Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhang jests, come on, let’s have a few good drinks,” Ye Jingtian said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Fan, go unload the stuff from the truck,” said Zhang Dongyang, then sat down beside Ye Jingtian, and both started to enjoy the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan shrugged, jumped onto the cargo truck, looking at the pile of metal objects inside, and couldn’t help feeling surprised, “Dad, what are you buying all this stuff for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan took a closer look: fist-sized iron balls, thumb-thick iron chains, four sandbags, and even some military daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haven’t exercised for a long time, bought some stuff to practice with, and also to teach you some self-defense,” Zhang Dongyang sipped his tea and said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Self-defense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s eyes immediately brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the slick moves his dad used to beat up Wu Ge; damn, he had wanted to ask his dad about this, but his dad had already started preparing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s spirit soared, and he quickly started unloading the goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything from the truck was unloaded, Ye Jingtian and Qin Shuang were somewhat taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were all these things for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yanran’s eyes, however, lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was here for two reasons: one was to find out the identity of Zhang Fan’s dad, and the other was to learn some skills from Zhang Fan’s dad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, due to her health, she could only stay in the Inspection Department after graduating, but now that she was better, her inner violence was spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan, his hands on the two military daggers, played joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yanran ran over and snatched the military daggers from Zhang Fan’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she became even more certain of Zhang Fan’s dad’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely had a special soldier pedigree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This military dagger was roughly the same as the ones she had seen in the military academy before, but the one in her hand was heavier and the blade narrower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The groove on it was specifically for letting blood flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The row of sharp serrations on the spine was extremely practical—this was simply a divine artifact essential for wilderness survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan stared at the military dagger spinning in Ye Yanran’s hand, his eyes bulging out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yo, wasn’t he afraid of cutting his hand playing like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop playing and go cook,” Zhang Dongyang called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan responded immediately, “Right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, Zhang Fan dashed into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang watched Zhang Fan run into the kitchen and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Little Fan can cook too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang offered an awkward smile, “Since he was ten, it’s mostly been him cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food I cook can only guarantee that you won’t starve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang’s eyes softened even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting to cook at the age of ten, oh my, how much hardship has this child, Little Fan, gone through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go help Brother Fan,” Zhang Xiaoyuan said, running into the kitchen as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanran, what are you dawdling for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go help Little Fan,” Qin Shuang said to Ye Yanran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yanran’s face froze as she stared blankly at her own mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help Zhang Fan, that jerk, with cooking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanran, hurry up,” Ye Jingtian also urged at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yanran looked at her mom and dad, her heart wailing in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my, what kind of love potion had that jerk Zhang Fan fed her parents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go, too,” Ye Xuan declared, quickly running over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humph, she certainly wouldn’t let Zhang Xiaoyuan and Zhang Fan be alone together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could cook too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang was dumbfounded, “This might not be a good idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian quickly waved his hands, “What’s not good about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the kids have their fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll just enjoy our tea and wait to eat,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up as he saw Zhang Xiaoyuan, Ye Xuan, and Ye Yanran walk in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, cooking while watching the beauties didn’t seem too bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the kitchen wasn’t very spacious to begin with—Zhang Dongyang had only considered the needs of himself and Zhang Fan when designing it—it now felt a bit crowded with Ye Yanran and the others added to the mix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan ran to Zhang Fan’s side gleefully, quickly asking, “Brother, what can I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan casually tossed a cabbage over, “Wash this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And me?” Ye Xuan asked, blinking her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You peel the garlic,” Zhang Fan handed her a garlic clove and then picked up the kitchen knife to cut the meat himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Ye Yanran stood by the door, gritting her teeth as she glared at Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, Zhang Fan turned around and tossed a cucumber her way, “Your cucumber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yanran quickly reached out to catch it, then froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cucumber?\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-08T10:03:05.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","0237f23c0d2eff55175d69d8ad2a02d1a032e9e0a70cfd53848ee3bfbf58beed","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-110","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-108",1920,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-cover.jpg"]
