Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well-written the dialogue is in this chapter? Because I'm genuinely impressed. Each character has such a distinct voice that I can basically tell who's speaking just by reading the lines without looking at the names. Ning Yichu's dialogue is absolutely vicious and I love it. "I'm not the one who's been cuckolded and raised an illegitimate child for fifty-three years" — this man does NOT hold back. And then there's the exchange with He Rulin where he casually drops "You're an illegitimate child of an illegitimate child, it's normal for a legitimate child not to want to discuss seniority with you." That's not just a comeback, that's a surgical strike. He's basically dismantling He Rulin's entire identity in one sentence. He Rulin himself has such a deliciously annoying voice. "I wonder how little Chu found out. By the way, Shixia listens to you so obediently, is it because you have some leverage over him?" This guy is literally trying to stir the pot while the house is on fire. And the fact that Ning Yichu just smiles and delivers that line about illegitimate children? Perfect. He Grandfather's voice is pathetic in the best narrative way. He goes from deflection to self-pity to this weird performance of remorse, and it's clear he's not actually sorry — he's just trying to manage the damage. The line "All these years, if I had any ulterior motives towards you, with your abilities, you would've discovered it long ago, right?" is so transparently manipulative that I almost laughed out loud. And He Shixia! The way his dialogue shifts from cold warnings to quietly asking "Do you want to eat a little more?" while his partner is dismantling the entire family? That contrast tells us SO much about their relationship without any exposition.
so good!!!! can't wait for more
looking forward for more chapter please.
I don't know if the book is complete in the original version, but I would like the person who started translating to finish the work they started and translate until the ending corresponding to the original story and not until this forced ending.
