He didn't hear a reply, so he closed his eyes and began to list her mistakes. "Aunt Lin is an elder. When she knocks on the door, you should at least answer. You shouldn't hide in your room without saying a word. Aunt Lin was wrong to say that to you. You should come out and refute her instead of hiding in your room..."
Before he could finish, Wen Liyu spoke, "Uncle, I know I was wrong."
"..." Fu Wenting paused, and when he heard the thick cry in her voice, he frowned and reached out, pinched her chin, and lifted her face up.
