Xu Xiaodao is still the same Xu Xiaodao.
She never disappoints.
Jiang Yuan patted the other's shoulder satisfactorily, saying, "Good girl, Sister-in-law usually spoils you for good reason."
Xu Jinyan's lips twitched, and he shot back with a single word: "Scram!"
Did she think he was speaking up for her?
Thank you, but no!
He was purely defending his own face.
Others bullied a person he himself must respect like an ancestor; who did they think they were shaming?
It's like one's own house cat getting bullied by a stray cat. It was a clear disregard for him as the owner, something he couldn't tolerate.
Yet, this doesn't have anything to do with whether he likes the cat.
So don't overthink it.
Yu Chengcheng popped up from the side, her eyes twinkling with mirth as she sized up the two of them: "Tsk, you two have such good rapport, I'd believe you were really dating!"
Jiang Yuan: "Nonsense, I'm his sister-in-law."
In the future.
