Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 814 - 737: Cooperation (2)

It has indeed been a long time. 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 come 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 moment right now?

He’s now so mad inside that he wants to hit someone.

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 meaningful look.

Thinking to himself, not a thorough check, eh?

Han Yi nodded at him and went to the opposite side together.

Su Daimei hadn’t met Han Yi, so naturally, she didn’t recognize him when Han Yi came in.

But the two men insisted on sitting in a private room. Su Daimei had no choice but to arrange a quiet room for them.

Since it’s summer, they’re doing night market business. Most customers eat outside, but they have installed ceiling fans inside private rooms. It’s not that hot after turning them on.

Although the two men 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 meet Zhang Haichang’s eyes, saying, "I heard we know each other?"

"Yes, I do know you. But from today on, you will know me too," Chen Haichang responded directly without reservation.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want by leading me here?"

Chen Haichang did not speak immediately 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 me Uncle!"

"Oh...? You..." Han Yi was even more puzzled, not understanding.

"Speaking of it, we are somewhat in the same plight; both illegitimate children."

Once Chen Haichang said it, Han Yi immediately understood.

"... It’s really an honor."

"No, we’re different. At least, I have some 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 became serious, and he ’hummed’ a bit and said, "However... you really guessed it right. He indeed doesn’t care for me, 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 men 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 me."

"Humph, according to seniority, I’m your uncle."

"Only a few years older than me, besides, I’m not keen on being a descendant of the Mei Family. Do you wish to join the Mei Family?"

"Humph, who cares? I just want to stir things up in their family, give that Old Mei something to do in his late years."

"So... you want to cooperate with me?"

"Yes." Chen Haichang answered briskly and confidently, then took a fierce gulp of his own drink. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

A bitter breath exhaled leisurely, his eyes full of some bitterness, "My mom is different from your mom, at least you still have relatives, while I only have my mom."

His maternal family and Mei Erqing have irreconcilable hatred.

Originally, the Chen Family was generations of tomb raiders. The family was quite wealthy. His Grandpa met Mei Erqing early on, and at the time Mei Erqing was already a high-ranking official. They met 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 Mei Erqing.

Later Mei Erqing discreetly sought him out. Mei Erqing wanted him to collaborate and secretly smuggle out some treasures.
