"Even Chi Xingye didn't claim her innocence, or deny that she is the murderer, so who are you trying to defend?!" Wen Guofeng's harsh voice echoed in the study.
Immediately, he thought of how Wen Zhuohang had been protecting Chi Xingye constantly during this period. His eyes narrowed suspiciously as he fixed them on his son. "You are repeatedly defending Chi Xingye. Have you fallen for her? Is that why you are so intent on defending her?!"
Wen Zhuohang widened his eyes in surprise.
He retorted indignantly, "Dad, I am not defending her, nor am I in love with her! It's you who has been too harsh! I know you're upset about Xue'er's death, but you shouldn't vent all your anger on Xingye! Even if she's not Aunt's biological daughter, she has been honoring Aunt as her mother these two years! What did she want from you? What did she want from Aunt?! How could she be the murderer? You are clearly framing her!"
In the study, the quarrel between father and son rose and fell.
