Questioning Xia Ru

"Wen Shu noticed that she was speaking very earnestly, which somewhat alleviated his suspicions about Xia Ru.

"Since you've explained all of these things, everyone has their own past, and I'm not such a petty person to hold your past against you.

"But I can't stand your grandmother. If you want to continue being with me, you'll have to choose between me and your grandmother."

Xia Ru almost hesitated for a moment and then said, "Of course, I choose to be with you. My grandmother only loves her grandson, Xia Yu, in her heart. In her eyes, we granddaughters are just tools for her to accumulate dowry. She doesn't truly care about us.

"When I saw her taking advantage of you that day, asking for clothes from your shop and ordering so much food, my heart ached for you.

"But I also don't want my family to look down on you. Wen Shu, you understand how much I genuinely care for you, right?"
