"This kid Bai Zhe is really quite good. The way I see it, it's like the two of them, brother and sister, have completely different personalities, they don't seem like siblings at all." Second Sister-in-law Zheng brought up how Bai Dui had invited others over to his place for tea, and her face relaxed into a broad smile.
Old Aunt Zheng thought the same. After seeing them today, anyone could tell that Bai Lu and her brother were not the same. She said, "That's for sure. Bai Lu was raised by her mother. Her brother was raised by Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai. How could they turn out the same?"
The implication being that even if Bai Lu's mother were to speak out about all the grievances she'd suffered at Grandma Bai's hands, with no proof at all, she'd probably end up being resented by her son; maybe that's exactly why Bai Lu's mother chose to keep quiet.
