"CEO Bai, I hope you don't mind what he did and don't take it to heart." Lil Dongbei was indeed quite embarrassed and didn't mean to be pretentious at all.
"You're treating me like an outsider," Bai Xiaoye said. "I'm just afraid that you'll be too embarrassed to fall out with him. If you hate him, I'll help you solve it."
Nobody knew when this old man appeared, but he appeared beside Bai Xiaoye and Lil 'Dongbei without anyone noticing. "What's there to solve? Me? "
The two of them shuddered at the sudden shout. Wasn't this old man a little too exaggerated?!
"No … that's not what we meant," Bai Xiaoye quickly explained.
Little Dongbei knew the old man's personality better. He knew that as long as the old man was standing here, it meant that he didn't mind. If he did, he would have left long ago. It would be impossible for them to find him.
"Then what do you mean?" The old man seemed to be very curious. "I have a feeling that today's matter has something to do with me."
"Old Mister, it's all a misunderstanding. Please don't mind it, "Bai Xiaoye said." If I've offended you, I'll apologize here. "
"It's okay. I'm thick-skinned." The old man smiled. "Even if you really offended me, what can I do … Hahaha."
The second half of the old man's sentence confused Bai Xiaoye.
However, the old man didn't intend to explain further. Instead, he turned and left.
Little Dongbei bowed apologetically to Bai Xiaoye. Bai Xiaoye quickly gestured for him to catch up with the old man and explain the matter.
Although Bai Xiaoye also wanted to ask the old man what he meant, she endured it in the end.
"Old Mister, don't be angry. Director Bai didn't mean that." Little Dongbei chased all the way to the old man's room. "That's because she cares about me and treats me as a friend. That's why she asked me about you."
"Although I'm old, I'm not blind." The old man smiled. "Even if I'm blind, my heart isn't blind. I can still tell who's good to you."
Little Dongbei heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"You haven't made any progress after so many years. Why don't you use your brain?" The old man said, "This shows that they are sincere to you and treat you as one of their own. Otherwise, do you think I would live in a place where a bunch of people don't really treat you as one of their own? "
Little Dongbei was suddenly enlightened. So that was the case. What the old man said really made sense.
"That's why you should be clear about this matter," the old man said. "These are all people you can befriend."
"I didn't expect you to understand things so well." Little Northeast scratched his head.
The old man glared at him. "What do you mean by that, you bastard? Do you really think I'm senile? Let me tell you, I'm very clear-headed. "
"That's good. Then I won't worry about you." Little Northeast smiled and paused for a moment. In the end, he still asked, "Just now, you said to our CEO Bai that even if she really offended you, what could you do … What did you mean by that?"
The corners of the old man's mouth curled up. "Not bad, kid. Interesting."
"Ah?" Little Northeast was like a monk. He was completely at a loss.
"If you can hear that, it means that you're starting to grow a heart and lungs," the old man said. "You're no longer the Gutless Young Master of the past. Not bad, not bad. You've improved."
"Old man, I'm asking you a question. Can you not interrupt?" Little Northeast said.
The old man said, "I can't afford to offend her, so of course I can't do anything to her." The old man said, "Don't underestimate her. Her parents aren't ordinary people. They're people who can protect her."
Little Northeast didn't understand what he meant. The old man didn't intend to explain in detail either. He waved his hand impatiently.
Although Little Northeast was by Xu Yun's side and had long been involved in the underground world, the old man knew one thing.
However, there was one thing that the old man was clear about. He knew that Little Northeast's ability had reached its limit, and it was impossible for him to improve any further. Therefore, with his skills, he could just obediently follow behind Xu Yun and the others and provide some support in the rear. Knowing more things was of no benefit to him.
This was also why Little Northeast didn't know too much about Xu Yun and the others.
The old man could tell. He believed that this was also why Xu Yun and the others didn't tell Little Northeast too much.
"Sometimes, people are always like this. They say one thing and do another," the old man said. "But you're very good. In the circle you're in, there's no such person."
"Old man, don't tell me these things that I don't understand," Little Northeast said. "Whenever I ask you something, you can't explain it clearly."
"Then what are you thinking about?" the old man said.
"CEO Bai and Brother Yun are biological siblings," Little Northeast said. "You said that her parents aren't ordinary people. Then Brother Yun's parents are the same. But why haven't I seen them before?"
The old man was stunned. "You even know this? Not bad, kid. You know a lot of things. "
"Of course I know," Little Northeast said. "They have the same father but different mothers …"
When he said this, Little Northeast seemed to regret it. He bit his lower lip. "I shouldn't have said this. You shouldn't have listened. Just pretend that I didn't say it."
"You said it," the old man said. "I'm not an outsider. It doesn't matter if you say it."
"You're not an outsider to me, but to them, we're not close," Little Northeast said. "I really shouldn't have said so much. This is their privacy."
"Hahahaha, alright. Don't blame yourself. I know all this," the old man said. "Even if you don't say it, I know it in my heart."
Little Northeast was stunned.
"Don't think so much," the old man said. "You're right. You can't speak carelessly. And you definitely can't speak carelessly. Just what you said just now is really valuable in the underground world … Hahaha, keep your mouth shut in the future."
"Don't tell anyone else!" Little Northeast was a little anxious.
The old man had a look of disdain. "Do I look like the kind of person who gossips?!"
"You don't," Little Northeast said helplessly. "I'm just afraid that you'll spout nonsense when you're drunk."
The old man was even angrier when he heard this. What kind of alcohol tolerance did he have? When had he ever gotten drunk?!
"Do you really think I'm one of those trash who doesn't know their surname after drinking a few taels of cat urine?" The old man glared. "Kid, I've drunk more alcohol in my life than you've drunk water! You have to be more careful! "
Little Northeast stuck out his tongue. "Alright, you're the best. I'm not as good as you. You can just stay here and do nothing. Just don't give me any trouble. "
"I've been here for quite a few days." The old man suddenly looked at the ceiling.
Little Northeast was stunned. "No way, old man. You can't be so narrow-minded. He just said one sentence and it's all a misunderstanding."
"Of course I'm not so narrow-minded," the old man said. "I just don't want to get involved in too many things. At my age, I've long stopped asking about such things."
Little Northeast was a little surprised. This old man was really clear-minded. He knew everything.
He had never lived in this place before, but he knew that Xu Yun would be involved in too many things.
"Then I won't force you to stay." Little Northeast nodded. "If you're comfortable here, you can stay for a while longer. You can come anytime. I'll always welcome you."
The old man snorted. "If I have nothing to do, I'll be happy to stay here for a while. But how would I know that you're surrounded by such troublesome people?"
Little Northeast didn't understand the old man's words, but he would let him decide whatever he wanted.
"Then I'll do as you wish." Little Northeast nodded.
