"Uncle Li? Uncle Li, are you asleep?"
At midnight on Antique Street, it is so quiet that not even a shadow can be seen.
Yet, at such a time, he stands at the shop’s entrance and actually asks if the person inside is asleep?
Fortunately, the old servant inside, recalling his recent care for their young master of Phoenix Blue Ink, finally climbs out of bed and goes downstairs.
"It’s Mr. Lin, why so late? Do you need something?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you are going to Fengdu tomorrow?"
Isn’t that the place of the auction?
Hearing this, Uncle Li immediately nods: "Yes, I’m taking a few people there tomorrow. Does Mr. Lin know about this?"
Lin Yebai stands there and smiles: "I heard about it, but I’m not attending this time. Did Aning mention anything you need to auction? You can let me know, I know the owner there."
Uncle Li almost revealed that the young master wants him to auction their Phoenix Blue Ink seal, but recalled the young master’s instruction not to tell anyone, especially this Mr. Lin.
So, he changes his words: "Actually, there’s nothing much. You know, we Phoenix Blue Ink don’t have many valuable things now, it’s like trying our luck."
"Really? How about this, should I give you some things?"
"No, no, how can I inconvenience you?" Uncle Li instinctively refuses.
But Lin Yebai notices that the old servant isn’t that persistent, so he insists on giving him some items, saying it’s for the auction, and when Phoenix Blue Ink rises again, he can return them.
Of course, Uncle Li is pleased to agree!
Originally, when Ye Ning decided to auction the Phoenix Blue Ink seal, he was not in favor of it. Why would the family leader sell the family’s foundation? How will things be managed in the future?
So, in the end, Uncle Li excitedly agrees but requests not to tell the young lady.
Lin Yebai certainly won’t tell that girl. After finishing this talk, he changes his tone to finally ask what he really wants to know: "By the way, is Aning back?"
Uncle Li shakes his head: "No, her son seems to have no one to look after him, so she went to care for him."
When Lin Yebai hears this, his heart skips a beat.
Xiaobao is not the same Xiaobao as before; he has a father now, and a particularly prestigious identity. How could he have no one to care for him? Probably with just one request, many people would rush to take care of him, right?
The man standing in the cold wind in a thin jacket suddenly feels chilled to the bone: "Doesn’t he have his father? Why would she need to care for him?"
"That I don’t know, but the child is still so little, wanting to see his mother is normal." Uncle Li seems to have no issue with this.
Yes, their young master, despite having deep enmity with that family, since the child is already born, can’t just ignore it, after all, he is always her son.
So, tonight Ye Ning taking care of the child does not seem unusual to him.
But the young man standing before him hears this and his entire demeanor turns pale, his hands in the pockets of his jacket clenching so tightly that his veins bulge.
