nIt was just his instinctively defensive reaction to the immense pain he felt!

nA tinge of anger flashed across Song Enya’s pretty face. “Yichen, your action is unacceptable for a child! I won’t blame you on your father’s account, but you look at Enxi now! Her head is bleeding worryingly, yet you refuse to apologize and even deny pushing her! I heard that the Mu family’s inculcation of moral integrity is given emphasis, but based on your attitude, it doesn’t seem to be the case. If only you have half of your father’s virtue!”

nUnable to cool down, she carried her sister before the boy and interrogated, “Are you saying that Enxi caused herself to fall earlier and blamed it on you? Our Enxi doesn’t lie! Besides, why would she need to trip herself up? Are you saying that she’s lying?”

nLittle Yichen’s face flushed red and hot with her relentless accusation.

nClenching his fists tightly and protruding his mouth, he tried to keep his emotions in check. “It’s not me; I didn’t push her! I’m a man of my words and I don’t lie!”

nShe retorted, “If you consider yourself as a man of your words, then shouldn’t you own up to your mistake? If you didn’t lie, tell me how Enxi ended up falling!”

n“Boo… boo… boo… Sis, he’s lying. He really pushed me!” Song Enxi, who was in her sister’s embrace, howled even louder this time. Tears, unabated, streamed down her face.

nThe boy was antagonized into losing his cool this time. “She bit me and bullied me first!”

n“Does that mean you could bully her back just because she bit you?” Song Enya gloomily demanded, “You are the older one here. Enxi is young and ignorant; can’t you give in to her?”

n“?!” He was truly made speechless by now.

nWhy? Why am I being condemned here?

nDoes it mean that, just because she is more hurt than me, her wrongdoing can be forgiven?

nWhy am I receiving blame when I just accidentally put more force while defending myself?

nBesides, he clearly remembered his hand not having that much strength earlier when he strong-armed her away from him. It should not be a hard fall, right?!

nHe knew if he had overused his wrist power!

nThe girl would have been sprawled to the side if he had pushed her hard; she should not have ended up with such a serious injury!

nWho would believe him if he said that the girl had tripped herself up deliberately, though?

nWould his daddy believe him?

nHe looked fretfully at his father whose icy stare was on the little girl’s face. The man suddenly boomed, “Enough!”

nHis raised voice silenced everyone in the vicinity and finally made the chaos die down.

nHis inertly commanding presence ensured that everyone followed his instruction.

nThe situation was kept under control by his one word.

n“It’s meaningless to argue now! The priority is to get the kid to the hospital for an X-ray and see how deep the cut is.”

n“Oh, no… What do we do? Enxi has never suffered like this before…”

nThe boy was fuming inwardly.

nIs this called suffering? Suffering is what you endure during boot camp training!

nWhat she needs may just be one or two stitches.

nMu Yazhe bent down and, taking hold of his shoulders, solemnly requested, “Yichen, apologize to sister now, eh?”

n“No!” he vehemently rejected.
