He coughed uncomfortably and noticed Ruan Jie shrinking his neck, visibly afraid of him. Feeling a mix of anger and indescribable emotions, he didn't actually dislike this grandson.
It's just that, compared to Ruan Hao, who resembled his late wife, and the endearing Ruan Jiaojiao, this grandson—who takes after Ruan Jianguo—simply didn't strike a chord with him. To be fair, it's mostly because this kid resembles Ruan Jianguo too much! Practically a carbon copy, even his timid appearance mirrored Jianguo's to the point of irritation.
Watching Ruan Jie hurriedly call him "Grandpa," then zip upstairs in a flash, Grandpa Shu felt an inexplicable bitterness stuck in his chest.
Ruan Jiaojiao felt a bit sorry for her second brother but also understood the knot in Grandpa Shu's heart.
