So, such a smart person, yet speaks so honestly, basically says whatever's on his mind. You know, this feeling is quite reassuring. Xu Hongdou now kind of understands why Xu Man Ni is so devoted to Zhao Heng, her brother-in-law.
Clever but not cunning at all, treating people sincerely, that is really rare.
Most people, especially those who consider themselves clever, like to play tricks and think everyone else is a fool.
Unbeknownst to them, there's a saying that fits perfectly: "Cleverness may backfire."
Maybe a small trick will be delightful for a moment, but there will always be a time or two when others are smarter than you, with deeper schemes. Just once, and you could fall into a big trap.
In today's social environment, if someone has no background or family power, just one big trap is enough to destroy them.
Especially someone who likes to think they're clever!
"Do you really need to beat around the bush when talking to family? Then they're not really family."
