The muscles in Old Yao's face twitched, yet he still maintained a smile, saying, "Then it's entirely up to you and your whims."
"What do you mean?"
"Is it the case of a snipe and clam fighting with the fisherman benefitting, or is it that each takes a step back and the sea is wide and sky is clear, and while it's good for us both, nobody else fares well?" Old Yao said, "If you truly like this child, make her happy, you're happy, and in the future she will appreciate you and treat you better. Old folks most desire filial children, don't they? Besides, even if you ruin my grandson's future, I have other grandchildren, not just him. If his future is ruined but he remains alive, the child can still be with him."
This last sentence made Old Ye's mouth twitch intensely. Indeed, after all the talk, that stubborn silly child still wants to be with him. What he desires is not to push her towards him again because of this.
