It has indeed been a long ti. He thought after he revealed it to Su Ling yesterday, she would directly contact Han Yi and his team.
From what he knows, Han Yi would definitely be puzzled and co looking for him. So he had been waiting downstairs since early morning.
He didn’t expect to end up waiting all day.
Damn it, those deep and seemingly in-control characters on TV aren’t as easy to pull off in real life.
Who could have thought that he had been brewing for a whole day just to display that mont right now?
He’s now so mad inside that he wants to hit soone.
To alleviate the frenzy inside him, he quickly stood up without leaving a trace and said to Han Yi, "There’s a restaurant across the street. Let’s find a quiet place to chat."
Han Yi turned his head and glanced across the street, when he saw "Shuxiang Pavilion, Second Store," his lips curled a bit, then he turned back and gave Chen Haichang a aningful look.
Thinking to himself, not a thorough check, eh?
Han Yi nodded at him and went to the opposite side together.
Su Daii hadn’t t Han Yi, so naturally, she didn’t recognize him when Han Yi ca in.
But the two n insisted on sitting in a private room. Su Daii had no choice but to arrange a quiet room for them.
Since it’s sumr, they’re doing night market business. Most custors eat outside, but they have installed ceiling fans inside private rooms. It’s not that hot after turning them on.
Although the two n didn’t look like they were easy to talk to, they were quite generous with ordering food.
As soon as they sat down, they ordered the most expensive dishes from the restaurant.
Of course, all of these were ordered by Han Yi.
Chen Haichang just asked for two bottles of ice-cold beer.
Once the dishes were all served, Han Yi turned his head to et Zhang Haichang’s eyes, saying, "I heard we know each other?"
"Yes, I do know you. But from today on, you will know too," Chen Haichang responded directly without reservation.
"Tell , what exactly do you want by leading here?"
Chen Haichang did not speak imdiately but first lowered his head to savor the chilled beer. Then he turned to look at Han Yi, gave a self-deprecating smile, and said, "If we talk about seniority, you should call Uncle!"
"Oh...? You..." Han Yi was even more puzzled, not understanding.
"Speaking of it, we are sowhat in the sa plight; both illegitimate children."
Once Chen Haichang said it, Han Yi imdiately understood.
"... It’s really an honor."
"No, we’re different. At least, I have so value to him, while you... he probably doesn’t care for."
"Ha, you are indeed smart; just a few words and you figured it out almost entirely," Chen Haichang laughed to himself, suddenly shifting his tone, his expression suddenly beca serious, and he ’humd’ a bit and said, "However... you really guessed it right. He indeed doesn’t care for , this illegitimate child born of a housemaid."
"Why worry about these things, isn’t it great to live well yourself?"
"Ha, though saying so, not everyone can be as carefree as you. And I, have always been petty. Especially towards those n who enjoy themselves first and then shirk responsibility, I am constantly worried about these, still have it in my heart all these years."
Han Yi watched as Chen Haichang spoke so lightly, but he could sense the bitterness he had before.
"Being in this kind of relationship, there’s no need to act so strong in front of ."
"Humph, according to seniority, I’m your uncle."
"Only a few years older than , besides, I’m not keen on being a descendant of the i Family. Do you wish to join the i Family?"
"Humph, who cares? I just want to stir things up in their family, give that Old i sothing to do in his late years."
"So... you want to cooperate with ?"
"Yes." Chen Haichang answered briskly and confidently, then took a fierce gulp of his own drink.
A bitter breath exhaled leisurely, his eyes full of so bitterness, "My mom is different from your mom, at least you still have relatives, while I only have my mom."
His maternal family and i Erqing have irreconcilable hatred.
Originally, the Chen Family was generations of tomb raiders. The family was quite wealthy. His Grandpa t i Erqing early on, and at the ti i Erqing was already a high-ranking official. They t because of a mission from above.
A group of people went to open a tomb. They dug up quite a few treasures; of course, these belonged to the upper echelon. It was before liberation, around ’46, the finances were tight back then, and it was a task secretly assigned to i Erqing.
Later i Erqing discreetly sought him out. i Erqing wanted him to collaborate and secretly smuggle out so treasures.
