161 The Strongest in the Mortal World

Ay… Hao Ren let out a long sigh. He understood what Grandma meant, but there was not much that he could do about it.

Although Grandma was senile, her mind was sharp. She could clearly tell that Hao Ren had been avoiding Xie Yujia in the past two days. Even when he talked to her, it was more just out of courtesy. There was a distance between them that was maintained on purpose.

Little Carrot's family had reached out when Hao Ren's family was going through the toughest times. Therefore, Hao Ren's strange behavior towards Xie Yujia had angered Grandma greatly.

On top of that, Xie Yujia was kind and considerate, and there was nothing that Grandma didn't like. Since Xie Yujia was loving, respectful, and thoughtful as if she was Grandma's own granddaughter, Grandma could not stand Hao Ren's aloof attitude towards Xie Yujia. 

"Grandma…" Hao Ren wanted to explain himself, but Grandma wanted to hear none of it and went back to her room.
