Did Ye Quan treat him badly? Lin Zhu wasn't even sure about that, and that was why he couldn't directly answer Lu Mei's question.
If he could put his feelings aside, then he would say that Ye Quan had treated him well ever since the two of them agreed to work harder together in the men's doubles team. True, the man did have ulterior motives behind his kind actions, but if Lin Zhu turned a blind eye and acted as if he didn't know his motives, then he wouldn't be saying that the older man mistreated him.
The man even let him live in his big house for free, and he even agreed to put his dog in a kennel so the two of them could live peacefully in the house. That's why, at first glance, Ye Quan had been treating him well recently.
