Xiao Yebai was young, perhaps still naive to such worldly matters, but the Zhao father and son were older, having weathered many storms, and they understood these things well.
Zhao Zirong and Father Zhao, thinking this way, discovered that their own woman, Mrs. Zhao, was sitting with Gu Nuan, seemingly engaged in a delightful conversation.
No one knew Mrs. Zhao's temperament better than the Zhao Family. Mrs. Zhao was known for her particularly stringent character, even more so than Xiao Jianming. Such a disposition meant she was demanding in conversation, setting the bar extremely high, and placing significant pressure on the other party that not everyone could withstand.
This was indeed the case. There were very few who could truly become friends with Mrs. Zhao. According to what the Zhao Family knew, the only close friend Mrs. Zhao had ever had was Ruan Ruzhen, who had passed away.
It was rare to see someone with whom Mrs. Zhao could enjoy such an animated conversation.
