Song Xiaoru gave a slight smile and said, "Third Aunt, actually Xiaodong is really capable now."
Frowning, Third Aunt said, "I'm telling you, Xiaoru, he was always causing trouble before, and I'm worried he's been mixing with undesirable people. You know, this can easily bring trouble to you. You're a member of the Song family, but he..."
"Ahem!" Second Uncle, who had been silent until now, coughed and interrupted, "Sister-in-law, don't be so negative. Xiaodong might have turned out alright."
Meeting Second Uncle's gaze uneasily, Third Aunt reluctantly said, "You know what they say, you can tell what someone will be like from when they're young. Look at Xiao Yun and Xian Ping, both so honest. But Xiaodong, he's been nothing but trouble since he was a boy. Xiaoru is such a good kid, she'll end up being held back by him sooner or later."
