"I…" She was dumbstruck by his unexpected words.
He had always treated her with indulgence since she was a child.
Even when she was in the wrong at times, he had never once berated her.
This was the first time that he had chastised her.
"Brother Mu, what do you mean?"
She pouted, feeling displeased. "What do you mean by me going overboard?"
"Don't you know it yourself?!" Pausing for a bit, he continued in a harsher tone. "I'm furious with what happened today, and I don't want to see a repeat of it! Since you are still young and insensible, I'll let this one slide! After all, I'm not your parents; I have neither the obligation nor the responsibility to punish you, but you'll have to apologize to her in person!"
He deliberately emphasized the words 'in person' and spoke in a voice that brooked no argument.
She was stunned!
