Xia Lihua anticipated that Lin Cuiping might attempt to deflect blame or downplay the situation, so she decided not to give her the opportunity to speak up just yet.
"It's true that Aunty Yang charged at me all of a sudden.", she began, her tone firm yet filled with sadness. "Feng gege was there with me and was worried that I might get hurt."
Lin Cuiping's expression showed signs of frustration and unease as she realized that Xia Lihua wasn't backing down. "Father-in-law, I didn't mean to harm her. I was just trying to scare her a bit."
Old Master Yang let out a sigh, his disappointment palpable. "It doesn't matter if you didn't intend to harm her," he replied firmly. "Scaring someone is not a joke. Your actions were unacceptable, and you must learn to control your emotions and handle situations with grace and dignity."
"How could I have the heart to hit her? I think I went a bit too far, haha."
