"So certain?" Qin Mei shifted her gaze to Jie Jingchen.
"Granny favors boys over girls," Jie Jingchen said.
Qin Mei fell silent. That kind of sexism was a fundamental flaw.
Grandpa stood to one side, watching the scene unfold with a helpless look on his face. Granny sat in a chair while Jie Anqi knelt on the floor, crying with her head on Granny's lap.
"Stop crying." Watching her granddaughter wail with hardly a tear in sight, Granny grew even more irritated. She was in no mood to offer Jie Anqi any comfort.
"Granny, Jing Si bullied me," Jie Anqi whined, her voice choked with sobs.
"He doesn't even respect me, so it's normal for him to bully you." The memory of how mercilessly Jing Si had retorted, treating her as if she weren't his granny at all, made her feel resentful and furious.
'Did my eldest and Qiao Yanqiu give me a well-behaved grandson? No, they clearly gave me an enemy.'
