Luo Zhelan defending Jiang Yue

Old Master Luo frowned, "She's not a servant?"

Luo Zhelan nodded, struggling to explain, "Jiang Yue assumed the role of a servant during the He Family's Birthday Banquet because of me. Deputy Chief He can confirm; he's aware of her identity."

The disdain etched on Old Master Luo's face remained unchanged. "And you believe this justifies her actions? Is it dignified for her to lower herself in such a manner?"

"Now that you know she isn't a servant, you suddenly take issue with it? Grandfather, let's be honest. Your disapproval stems not from her status as a servant, but from your disapproval of her regardless. Am I correct?" Luo Zhelan's gaze bore into her grandfather's.

Old Master Luo gritted his teeth as he responded, "Yes. Your partner should be someone of comparable status to you."

Luo Zhelan couldn't help but scoff at her grandfather's admission.

He had expected as much.
