WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop playing innocent, Qian Fei. You're full of it.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Feigning innocence or ignorance ('zhuang')

In Chinese interpersonal interactions and conflict contexts, 'zhuang' often refers to being two-faced, putting on an act, or evading responsibility. Directly accusing someone of being 'ting hui zhuang' ('quite good at faking it/playing dumb') is a harsh, confrontational challenge that spares no face.
