The phrase “others” sounded somewhat grating to the ears. If it weren’t for Xiao Jihan’s favorable impression score of only 8 points, Yan Shu would have suspected that Xiao Jihan was jealous of her. Yuwen Che, due to the phrase “others’ kindness,” showed traces of pulsating veins on his usually elegant and handsome face. This grandson of his truly didn’t follow the usual rules.
In theory, they were all men, and Yan Shu had always refrained from taking advantage of him, addressing him as “grandson” even when there was no need. At the very least, he should have shown some gratitude or maintained a sense of propriety. But he didn’t. Not only did he not do so, but he also consistently opposed her, engaging in verbal disputes that seemed immature between two men. But he didn’t—instead of displaying the demeanor befitting a man, he took every opportunity to mock her in his words, making her feel uncertain of how to respond.
