Xu Chunliang was not a sharp-tongued person by nature, but since Qiao Rulong dared to ridicule his grandfather for going to the Capital City to plead, Xu Chunliang wouldn't show him any courtesy, speaking without holding back.
Qiao Rulong felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Xu Chunliang said, "Although I respect Elder Qiao greatly, I don't believe he would sacrifice everything for you. What matters most in his heart isn't your happiness, but the honor of the family. In this regard, you are far less fortunate than I am."
Qiao Rulong struggled to control his inner rage. Xu Chunliang's words were like sharp knives, each one piercing precisely into his heart.
Qiao Rulong realized that Xu Chunliang saw through his weaknesses and struck unrelentingly at them. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Even though you and Xiaoxue have broken up, I never regarded you as my enemy. I even sympathize with you somewhat."
