"Isn't that just like Tan Ying? She's bullied you since you were little. You were just silly back then. The moment she came looking for you, you'd go trotting right over," Tan Deming said, then added teasingly, "Good thing you've wised up now."
"I know. Looking back, I really do think I was incredibly stupid," Tan You said, not at all offended. 'This is my grandpa. I could never get angry at anything he says.'
"To be blunt, it wasn't that you were stupid, just too soft-hearted and too honest." Tan Deming sighed. "These days, honest people are the ones who get taken advantage of. Just think about it—how many things has Tan Ying taken from you since you were kids?"
"Those hair ties I bought you—you wore them for less than two days before Tan Ying took them. It made me so angry I stopped buying them for you. In the end, they all wound up with Tan Ying anyway."
"I'd give you an apple, and you'd still share it with Tan Ying, even though her family is much wealthier than ours."
