Yin Meng was initially discussing economic issues with her aunt, Yin Shilan, when she noticed Su Xiaomeng looking somewhat despondent and awkward on the side. Quickly, she wrapped up the topic and approached Su Xiaomeng.
"Why so down?"
She casually rubbed Su Xiaomeng's face.
Su Xiaomeng scratched her head, unperturbed about losing face in front of Yin Meng, and whispered in her ear, "Do you Yin Family people chat about these topics all the time?"
Yin Meng burst into a sudden laugh, then whispered in Su Xiaomeng's ear, "Don't be fooled, they're just pretending in front of my grandparents! Once outside this door, they all become gossipers."
Su Xiaomeng was taken aback, not expecting Yin Meng to say this, and blinked her eyes, somewhat incredulous.
