Han Dongping laughed dryly. âI always thought that you had high expectations, yet surprisingly you still fell for such an ordinary woman.â
âThatâs still better than Dai Yiran. Dai Yiran was completely defeated by that ordinary woman, so she canât even be considered ordinary.â Shen Nuo spat in the eyes of Han Dongping. âWhat a lousy taste you have.â
Han Dongping calmed his nerves. He would not stoop to that womanâs level!
âMom,â Han Zhuoli looked at her gleefully.
But Shen Nuo replied harshly, âThereâs no need for you to be happy. I didnât say that I have accepted Lu Man. I will still remain reserved regarding my opinion of her.â
Han Zhuoli did not expect that Old Mrs. Han and Shen Nuo would not be pleased with Lu Man.
However, he wasnât worried about his family members doing anything to Lu Man behind his back.
Both Old Mr. Han and Han Xijin were open-minded, they wouldnât place their attention on such a small matter.
As for Old Mrs. Han and Shen Nuo, their personalities were honest and upright, even if they were dissatisfied, they also wouldnât play any cheap tricks in the dark.
âYou may not be satisfied with her right now, but thatâs only because you havenât met her and you donât understand her.â Han Zhuoli picked up two cups of tea, passing one of them to Old Mrs. Han and the other to Shen Nuo. âHonestly, sometimes she can be a little dumb too.â
âI donât care.â Old Mrs. Han accepted the tea. âAnyway, you arenât allowed to bring her back.â
âGrandma, look at you, when I didnât have a girlfriend, you kept chasing me and refused to let me into the mansion. Now that I finally have a girlfriend and proudly told you about her, you are displeased.â Han Zhuoli stood up. âAnyway, Iâve already decided on Lu Man. If you donât let her visit, then I wonât come over too. Whenever you allow her to come, Iâll bring her along and visit together.â
âYou brat! How could you speak to Old Mrs. Han like that!â Han Xijin reprimanded.
âI have decided on Lu Man. Iâm not young either, all of you should believe in my taste and judgment. Grandma, if you knew about the difficulties Lu Man has gone through, you wouldnât blame her for being crafty. She had to deal with her own biological father, step-mother and step-sister framing her and she also had to rely on herself to care for her motherâs illness. She has a heavy burden on her shoulders, itâs very difficult for her.â Han Zhuoliâs face was serious. âI think that itâs not wrong to be scheming. Even though my mother has a straightforward personality, she is not innocent and gullible.â
âShe used her schemes to save people, and not to harm others. To be honest, Grandma, are you really not crafty in any way at all? If not, how could you have managed to avoid being harmed and plotted against by others over and over again? As long as you donât harm others, that wouldnât really be considered as being scheming, but rather, itâs wit. She is a smart person, she wouldnât drag me down when other people are trying to plot against me. If I were to be with someone who knew nothing and was very innocent, then wouldnât it be the same as being with an idi*t?â Han Zhuoli pursed his lips, showing his disapproval towards people like that.
Old Mrs. Han, ââŠâ
Shen Nuo, ââŠâ
Her son wasnât talking about her, right?
She thought she was rather smart, actually.
Old Mrs. Han pursed her lips. âIt couldnât be that because of her sad and pitiful past, you like her out of sympathy?â
âGrandma, you are belittling me too much. In this world, there are plenty of people who deserve pity and sympathy, could I possibly like each one of them? I can tell when itâs sympathy,â Han Zhuoli displayed a hurt look to Old Mrs. Han.
âLet me consider it.â Old Mrs. Han finally opened up a little. âIâm just considering, donât try to ask for more!â
âYou still have to give her a chance to get to know you. You have to meet her in person to confirm that sheâs good, no?â Han Zhuoli asked, grinning cheerfully.
