Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Eyeliner

The rascal actually benefited from staying by the matriarch’s side! Bao Lao San thought to himself. The woman, who had remained silent, couldn’t help but feel happy after hearing the matriarch’s words.

In the end, the couple left with smiles, while the matriarch watched their departing figures with a disappointment that couldn’t be hidden.

Not long after, Housekeeper Liu came in. Seeing that the matriarch was in a heavy mood, he didn’t say a word. He picked up the tea on the table, noticing the cup was already cold, and was about to turn around to get a new one.

"Bring it here," the matriarch’s voice carried a hint of melancholy.

"Alright." Housekeeper Liu had intended to offer some advice but decided against it, knowing her temper.

The matriarch sipped the tea, the bitter taste quickly spreading across her mouth.

After she finished, Housekeeper Liu took the teacup and stood to the side.

Her eyes carried some indescribable emotions, but her voice was clear and strong, "The Bao Family has killed another child!"

Her eyes widened as she spoke these words.

Housekeeper Liu furrowed his brows deeply, remaining silent.

The matriarch continued, "Withdraw the spies placed in the third son’s house. I’d like to live a little longer!" She wanted nothing to do with the filthy affairs of her reckless offspring!

The reason she had placed spies in Bao Lao San’s house was simply because when she announced the Bao Family heir’s identity, she feared some relatives might have other ideas. So, she placed her people among all the relatives to guard against ill intentions. Over the years, she hadn’t withdrawn the spies...

Now, withdrawing spies from Bao Lao San’s place first must mean she was truly angered by the affairs of his household!

"I’ll give the orders later," Housekeeper Liu replied respectfully.

The matriarch rested one hand on the bed, slowly lying down, and mumbled, "Still no news of Ah Xun?"

Housekeeper Liu paused, noting that the matriarch had been mentioning the second young master more frequently, "No news."

This was an expected outcome for both of them.

If the second young master truly wanted the Bao Family to find him, he should have shown up long ago.

"I’d like to sleep for a while, you can leave now," the matriarch’s voice was soft.

"Alright."

Housekeeper Liu, upon seeing her weary expression, left with the cold teacup in hand.

When he reached the hall, he happened to encounter Bao Shaojin coming in through the main door. He respectfully greeted, "Eldest Young Master!"

Bao Shaojin’s gaze fell on the teacup in Housekeeper Liu’s hand, a dark glint crossing his eyebrows. He then asked, "How is Grandma handling the Bao Cheng matter?"

Housekeeper Liu wasn’t at all surprised that the Eldest Young Master was aware of the issue. He even had the illusion that perhaps the Eldest Young Master knew about it before the matriarch did!

"The matriarch decided that Young Master Bao Cheng will stay with her for the time being." Housekeeper Liu was present when the decision was made, as Bao Lao San and his wife hadn’t yet arrived at the Bao Mansion then.

"Hmm." Bao Shaojin let out a cold snort, about to pass by Housekeeper Liu on his way to the matriarch’s bedroom.

"Eldest Young Master, the matriarch is asleep," Housekeeper Liu reminded.

Bao Shaojin paused, his cold and proud face indifferent, and then he turned to head outside.

Housekeeper Liu quickly spoke, "Eldest Young Master, aren’t you staying at the mansion tonight?" After all, he had already come.

"No." Bao Shaojin’s voice was chilly, colder than usual.

Housekeeper Liu watched his departing figure, feeling something unusual about the Eldest Young Master tonight. Not thinking too much, he recalled the matriarch’s instructions and hurried to withdraw the spies from Bao Lao San’s house. The matriarch’s health couldn’t stand this stress! Considering how Bao Lao San and his son were always causing trouble, the matriarch had cleaned up after them countless times!

Exiting the mansion, Bao Shaojin returned to the car.

Assistant Lin had thought he would stay at the Bao Family, but fortunately, he had waited patiently nearby.

"To T University!"

Before Assistant Lin could ask where to, Bao Shaojin’s voice, cold and indifferent, announced it.

"Alright, Mr. Bao." Assistant Lin started the car.

The car was warm from the heater, and before Mr. Bao got in, Assistant Lin had felt comfortable. Now, with Mr. Bao’s tall frame in the back seat and without changing the car’s temperature, why did it suddenly feel so cold? Assistant Lin was puzzled.

Upon hearing "T University," Assistant Lin had a revelation.

Cold as it was, it was only physically cold. Mr. Bao’s heart was likely even colder! Assistant Lin thought.

Earlier today, in Mr. Bao’s office, a subordinate had come to report something. Assistant Lin was present, and Mr. Bao hadn’t dismissed him. Thus, Assistant Lin knew a bit about the Bao Family’s affairs.

It wasn’t very late, only eight or nine in the evening, and many cars were whistling by.

The moon was covered by clouds, and under the dim sky, at least there were streetlights. Students strolled by on the sidewalk in groups, chatting and laughing.

There were also couples, fingers intertwined, with the girl beaming with a sweet smile and the boy looking at her with intense affection—gazing at her talking, at her teasing, with a lovestruck expression...

Assistant Lin drove slowly, causing several students to look at the car with shock and envy... After all, a Rolls-Royce Phantom wasn’t something you saw every day, especially moving at such a snail’s pace!

"Find a less crowded place to park."

Bao Shaojin’s deep voice ordered.

Following the command, Assistant Lin accelerated to the usual parking spot.

At a corner with a certain distance from the school, where few people passed by, once the car stopped, the smell of smoke filled the air.

Assistant Lin noticed that Mr. Bao’s smoking frequency had indeed increased recently, whether at the company or outside. Mr. Bao almost always had a cigarette. Assistant Lin hadn’t realized how much Mr. Bao relied on smoking before!

Moreover, this week at the company, he even drank during the day! Assistant Lin had never seen this before. When he first heard Mr. Bao’s request, he was stunned, thinking he misheard until Mr. Bao irritatedly repeated it. Only then did Assistant Lin quickly arrange for the liquor.

Alas!

Assistant Lin began to miss the old Mr. Bao. Besides work, it was all work. As long as he didn’t make mistakes, everything was fine, without needing to read Mr. Bao’s expression, as he always had the same one.

Now, with smoking, drinking, abnormal moods, and incomprehensible actions...

Exhausting! Assistant Lin lamented in his heart.

When would this situation come to an end?
