Hei Dan scratched his head awkwardly, "Brother Yan, ever since you left, Uncle's business has grown bigger. He even married a young wife and had a child. He asked me to come to Jinmen to open a shop and sell Chang'an leather goods."
"Nonsense!"
Li Yan curled his lips into a sneer, "What a nice excuse. Didn't your uncle promise to treat you like a son and let you inherit the family business? Now that he has a child, I'm afraid he finds you in the way."
"It's not Uncle's fault."
Hei Dan quickly explained, "He's in a difficult position. Aunt has been causing trouble..."
As he spoke, a flash of sadness crossed his eyes, "My parents have both passed away. They never saw me get married. Now I have no attachments, so I might as well go out and make my way. At least Uncle taught me all the skills."
"My condolences."
Li Yan sighed and patted Hei Dan on the shoulder.
