Mei Lang Jun raised an eyebrow, looked at Chen Haichang, but didnât answer. He turned to glance at his own father.
He saw Mei Shuqing slightly frown, looked in the direction of the study, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Chen Haichang cheerfully said, "Second Brother, youâre the best. Since you didnât refuse, Iâll take it as a yes. Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law!"
The way Chen Haichang called her "Second Sister-in-law" gave Liang Qian goosebumps all over, feeling awkward no matter how she heard it.
Mei Shuqing ignored him and went directly into the study to find Mr. Mei.
Seeing Han Yi at the back, Chen Haichang smiled and said, "The big nephew is back. You heard just now, the eldest brotherâs family doesnât welcome me, and you are part of their family. You wouldnât treat me the same way, right?" He then shook his head and sighed, "I originally thought we shared the same fate, had a common language, at least one family confidant in the Mei Family. What do you say?"
"Iâve never got along with them." Han Yi raised an eyebrow with a hint of a smile, making his meaning clear.
As soon as Chen Haichang heard this, his face broke into a smile, and he patted Han Yiâs shoulder like a good buddy, "I knew it, weâre in the same boat. Good nephew, everyone in the Mei Family looks at me unfavorably, youâll have to look after your third uncle more in the future."
Does he need him to protect him? Han Yi remained indifferent and didnât expose him.
But Lin Wan couldnât help but secretly smile.
"Niece-in-law, why are you laughing?" Chen Haichang whispered in her ear.
Lin Wan was slightly startled by the question, then said, "Boss Chen is different from how I knew him before."
Chen Haichang crooked the corner of his mouth, "Donât worry, niece-in-law, Iâm not a ghost whoâll scare away the little great-niece."
Chen Haichangâs words instantly made Lin Wan embarrassed, that wasnât what she meant.
After he finished speaking, Chen Haichang didnât tease them further and went directly to the sofa, sitting across from Mei Langchi with his legs crossed, lowering his eyes, squinting, just staring at him.
Listening to the conversation Mei Lang Jun heard between Chen Haichang and Han Yi earlier, he frowned, and seeing Chen Haichang leave, he hurriedly pulled Han Yi aside to ask quietly,
"Whatâs going on, what does he really want?"
Han Yi shook his head, indicating he didnât know, "Maybe itâs because of Xiao Wan, he used to be a supplier for Xiao Wanâs factory."
"Really? He knows Xiao Wan?"
"Yeah, theyâve met during business dealings."
"No wonder heâs so polite to you two, turns out itâs because of this connection." Mei Lang Jun nodded and then said, "Xiao Yi, he is very likely my grandfatherâs son."
Han Yi raised an eyebrow, "Not likely, definitely."
"Sigh, whatâs with our Mei family, why is it always such messy business? Itâs making me suspect that my dad also has some sibling or something outside... oh, and it could even be a brother."
Just as Mei Lang Jun finished speaking, he unexpectedly took a hit from Liang Qianâs fist, "What are you talking about? Do you think your dad is that kind of person?"
Mei Lang Jun was hit and bit his tongue, it was unexpected, who would have thought his always disciplined grandfather would do such a thing? Who would have thought his gentle uncle would be the same?
At this moment, Mei Shuqing came out of the study, greeted Han Yi Lin Wan, and left.
Chen Haichang also put his hands in his pockets and leisurely followed.
Han Yi glanced at Mei Langchi, still drinking tea, then led Lin Wan and Xingxing upstairs.
"Originally, we were going back tomorrow, didnât expect such a thing to happen again. Sigh, looks like weâll have to wait a few days." Lin Wan sighed and said,
"A few days then, I still have a few days off anyway, Little Star missing a couple days of school is no big deal. The things weâre teaching her now are equal to what sheâd learn in primary school."
"Yeah, are we going to take care of the grandma tomorrow?"
"No, just stay home, or Iâll take you two out for a walk. Little Star hasnât been to Tiananmen yet. I heard the weather forecast, tomorrow is cloudy, good for outings."
Lin Wan thought of the place she went to see that day and wanted Han Yi to go see it with her too, but she wasnât in a hurry, they might stay a few more days.
"Okay, take Little Star out to play."
....
Following Mei Shuqingâs family to their home, Chen Haichang was tacitly accepted by Mei Shuqing.
Since he came, Liang Qian had no choice but to clean up Ah Huiâs room for him.
"I just talked to Old Mei. Iâm aware of what he did in the past, Iâm here to apologize to you and your mother. Things are the way they are now, we should face this matter properly." Seeing Liang Qian go upstairs, Mei Shuqing turned around and motioned to Chen Haichang to talk in the study,
"I am facing it properly, Iâm back to acknowledge this father." Chen Haichang said, then suddenly chuckled, "Speaking of which, at my age, I could be your son. Now, I have to call you brother, no wonder the old man doesnât want to admit it. This is quite embarrassing."
