When someone else tries to brag like this, Tian Yanzhen would probably just think of them as rebellious, but when Qiao Yu says it so righteously, it fills Tian Yanzhen with comfort.
Because he believes that his former teacher can actually do something like this.
Not even considering the academic status issues.
If it were considered, it would probably just lead to another argument.
The old man is always like that, can't tolerate the slightest dishonesty, and once he's fond of someone, there's no reasoning with him about it.
Specifically when it comes to Qiao Yu...
Calling right away with "my grandson is studying at Yanbei," it's clearly not about reasoning.
Everyone knows that most grandfathers' emotional investment in their grandchildren is unreasonable, and parents all over the world have no good solutions to this cross-generational affection issue...
For Tian Yanzhen, it's evidently no different.
At least Qiao Yu's stance is more important to the old man than his attitude.
