"Hey, get it straight, I was here first today." Zhou Xinyao refused to back down and continued, "Who came rushing over and now has the nerve to talk about others."
Unlike previous times when they'd bickered, this time Xia Lu didn't feel angry. Suddenly, she realized Zhou Xinyao wasn't as terrible as she'd imagined. Compared to the Zhou Family, she was just an ordinary person who didn't know how to accept an "intruder." It was natural to want to defend her territory; she was afraid Xia Lu, an "outsider," would take away the love and perhaps the money that rightfully belonged to her.
In nature, small animals threatened by invaders often use this tactic to intimidate and drive them away. If Zhou Xinyao were seen as a small animal, Xia Lu's dissatisfaction naturally disappeared, since no one would hold grudges against a puffed-up animal.
