As he spoke, his profound eyes fell on her, giving her a lukewarm glance with an indifferent tone.
"Lately, grandma has been very resistant to me spending time with her, and you running off alone—doesn't that just provide a perfect opportunity for grandma to oppress her?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Shu's lips curled with a touch of cold laughter, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Huo Shenting. The demeanor of a meek woman she had shown earlier had completely vanished, leaving only a thin coolness.
"That really does put me in a difficult spot—neither staying nor leaving is right. Am I supposed to stay and watch you and Miss Shen being affectionate? I'd feel awkward, and you would be uncomfortable too."
As she spoke, there was not a trace of fear in her eyes. She looked at Huo Shenting's troubled face, as if she very much wanted to find a perfect solution for him.
"Perhaps you could get closer to Miss Lin; maybe then grandma wouldn't focus so much on you and Miss Shen?"
