Chapter 239: Stab in the heart
Jiang Xingyu’s back went cold. It took him about two minutes to believe that his father had just uttered the words he had heard. Did he just call Luna a murderer? His chest heaved up and down as he swallowed hard. He clenched his fists as he spat each syllable through gritted teeth, "Take that back!"
Jiang Xingren stood up, his eyes bulged in anger. "How dare you speak to your father like that, punk!"
"Hey hey! What’s going on here?" Madam Jiang, who had just arrived, rushed over to stop them before it could escalate into an actual fight. She looked at her husband then at her fuming son. "What happened?"
"He actually called Luna a murderer." Jiang Xingyu fumed. "Which eye of yours saw Luna kill anyone?"
"I said what came out of her mouth. And what she said with her own mouth is that she murdered the detective. What does that make her?"
"That’s enough." Madam Jiang interrupted as she patted her son’s back.
"I don’t know what era he is stuck in. People actually still force women onto their sons. Wow, just wow." Jiang Xingyu huffed and stormed off. Madam Jiang glanced in her son’s direction then turned to glare at her husband. "What are you doing? What is all this about?"
Jiang Xingren took her hand. "Honey, I’m only looking out for him."
"But you do know that he only loves Xia Luna. By introducing a woman to him at such a difficult time, aren’t you stabbing our own son in the heart?"
Jiang Xingren was helpless against this mother-son duo. "My wife, do you really believe that an innocent person would plead guilty, and there will be nothing to prove that she is lying? This time she murdered a detective. The next victim could be you, or me or our son. I’m only trying to ensure that our son is safe and if the threat to his safety is the woman he loves, I will not hesitate to separate them."
Madam Jiang could only sigh. She couldn’t blame her husband. He was only doing the best for their son. Unlike her and Xingyu, he didn’t trust Luna.
