"But..."
The Madame Ruan still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Master Ruan next to her.
"No buts, Yingming is seldom back, let's not talk about these things right now."
After speaking, he leaned close to Madame Ruan's ear and whispered, "...don't scare the grandson away!"
"Oh." Madame Ruan moved her lips, finally responding, and said no more.
Just then, Zhao Shuzhen came to look for her.
Madame Ruan wanted to let the old gentleman have a talk with his grandson, so she gave Master Ruan a glance and left.
After she left, Master Ruan patted Gu Yingming's shoulder.
"I won't persuade you. Just do what you think is right; your grandma is just worried, don't take it to heart."
His grandson was of an age where kids are in junior high. What didn't he understand?
He wouldn't say those things that made one uncomfortable.
Gu Yingming felt a warmth in his chest and said, "I know grandma means well."
