The Old Man Who Busts Defiance

share time: 2025-12-18 00:49:04

Zhu Xingyao, an office nobody, becomes a "hardcore old man" overnight after binding to the "Defy-Busting System"—he confronts arrogant supervisors, calls out colleagues who steal clients, and even the cafeteria aunt calls him "Grandpa Zhu." But the system's ultimate mission is to help Su Wanqing, a cold CEO, deal with her parasitic family: her uncle is trying to steal her shares, her grandfather is forcing her to marry into a wealthy family, and Su Wanqing pretends to be strong while biting her lip. Zhu Xingyao pierces her facade with his "old man-style straightforwardness": "Girl, your lip is bleeding—stop pretending nothing's wrong." He uncovers evidence of her uncle's embezzlement and slams the table in front of her grandfather to protect her: "Wanqing is under my protection—who dares to touch her?" Su Wanqing goes from "Is this guy crazy?" to secretly replacing his coffee with hot cocoa (remembering his bad stomach) and leaving a light on for him when he works overtime—turns out this "old man" who always stands up for her understands her grievances better than anyone. But the system suddenly glitches: "Mission requirement: Make Su Wanqing call you 'Old Man'." Zhu Xingyao waits with a red face, only to hear Su Wanqing whisper in his ear: "Grandpa Zhu... I like you."
