His words were measured, seemingly to clarify a mistake for Bai Qi but in fact to inform everyone that Su Xiaoyue had malicious intent, taking advantage of her resemblance to his deceased daughter to impersonate Bai Zhenhong's daughter.
Bai Qi wanted to say something else, but upon receiving a warning look from his father, he said in a low and disappointed voice, "Dad, I thought she was my elder sister."
