Yu Rou immediately started praising, "Not bad at all, Ruixuan, your English learning has caught up to that of a professional translator."
Elder Yu also gave him an affirming look, "Keep it up."
"Grandfather, don’t worry, I will definitely work harder," Yu Ruixuan said, his head held high and with joy.
Having been praised, Yu Ruixuan looked at Yu Cheng with a smug expression, thinking disdainfully, look, Grandfather praised me, unlike you, scoring only twenty or thirty in English tests, you waste.
Zhou Yanyu also looked proud, as she had intentionally wanted to show the old man today how excellent her son was.
While Yu Cheng, this simple-minded and physically robust fool, how incompetent he is!
Although Zhou Yanyu felt quite smug, she maintained a humble face, "Ruixuan is just a bit clever, still inferior to Xiao Cheng."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huaxun frowned in disagreement, "Inferior in what? I think Ruixuan is much better than Yu Cheng, Yu Cheng has never passed an English exam, and his grades in other subjects are so-so as well. If he were half as sensible and studious as Ruixuan, I would be satisfied."
Yu Huaxun always felt Yu Cheng had a bad personality, was stubborn, and always liked to contradict him, nothing at all like his younger son who was obedient, sensible, and knew how to behave.
Zhou Yanyu was overjoyed to hear Yu Huaxun praising her son and belittling Yu Cheng in front of everyone.
Look, this isn’t me, the stepmother, slandering him. This is his own father saying he is completely useless.
In front of Yu Huaxun’s criticism, Yu Cheng remained unfazed, all these, he was used to.
Every time Yu Ruixuan showed off or performed well, and Zhou Yanyu made some ambiguous comments, his dad would surely start scolding him.
Initially, he would feel upset and rebellious, but over the years, he had become numb and no longer cared about those words.
He just scoffed disdainfully, if it weren’t for considering Elder Yu’s presence, he would have simply stood up and left.
Yu Cheng didn’t care, but Jiang Mianmian did.
Listening to all the disparaging comments about Yu Cheng and seeing the smugness in the eyes of that mother and son, she felt a strong sense of injustice for Yu Cheng.
Even if Yu Ruixuan was really smart, it wasn’t necessary to glorify one and put down another!
Moreover, given Yu Ruixuan’s age, unless he was genuinely talented in English, it was unlikely he could understand a military report containing so many specialized terms.
Thinking about the somewhat undercooked spoken English Yu Ruixuan had just used, Jiang Mianmian leaned over and pointed at a professional term she recognized, feigning innocent curiosity as she asked Yu Ruixuan, "Ruixuan brother, what does this word mean?"
Yu Ruixuan was slightly taken aback by her cheesy endearment, and seeing her pointing at the word on the paper and asking him, he looked at Jiang Mianmian with some disgust.
He didn’t want to deal with this hick, but seeing how his father and grandfather were also watching him, he had no choice but to reluctantly lower his head and look at the word she was pointing at.
Bad news, he didn’t recognize the word.
But Yu Ruixuan only hesitated for a moment before calmly fabricating an explanation, "Uh, this means ’launch’."
Yu Rou had also seen that word, and listening to Yu Ruixuan’s explanation, she immediately furrowed her brows, that word didn’t mean "launch."
Jiang Mianmian corrected him with an innocent face, "Ruixuan brother, that’s not right, this word should mean ’deploy’."
