Although You Hong'an's special qualities are not clear, since mom trusts him, Luo Yirui naturally trusts him too. This trust stems from his strong faith in his mom. If these are the only two points, the second point is completely fine for him. The first point, he has no trust foundation with Hou Baiyu, and there's no trust to speak of, being trained by his parents, naturally he won't believe them.
Luo Yirui himself is not someone who's easily controlled or blindly follows instructions, so even without mom's advice, he wouldn't listen to Hou Baiyu. Since it's about being an assistant, he'll assist within his capability using his own methods, otherwise he shouldn't be used, as he's not there to be someone's henchman.
Luo Yirui nodded and said, "Mom, the second point is fine, I will be careful about the first point and won't be used as a pawn!"
