Because I Cannot Hurt You

Han Huizhong was also present, seated on one couch with frosty countenance. From afar, it would seem like how a granduncle and his grand nephew must be having a merry conversation.

But the truth was different.

Keung clicked his tongue. "Sister-in-law, is this how you welcome your brother-in-law and the CEO of the Han Corps? You should be distributing sweets at this moment to celebrate my return."

Zizi exclaimed. "Watch your mouth, Keung! Don't get too ahead of yourself and declare yourself as the CEO!"

"Cousin Zizi is still as annoying as ever. Whether you cry or talk, you are so irritating."

Han Tian's expression darkened. "Han Keung. Don't cross your line."

Keung chuckled. "What line are you talking about, Uncle? One of the members of this house has returned after years. Isn't this my home?"

Xinyi angrily laughed. "You already lost the right to call this place your home the moment you planned to hurt your family."

He smiled. "I am sure cousin Zhiyuan will forgive his little brother for hurting him a little bit. He understands why I had to do it, right?"

Zhiyuan remained silent.

"Anyway. No matter how much you loathe me, I don't care. As the new CEO of the Han Corps, I have every right to live in this villa."

Han Huizhong sneered. "You forget that I am still alive, Keung, and this house is still in my name. I have every right to kick you out of this house."

Keung shuddered. "Oh, oh! I-I am so scared, Grandpa... P-please don't kick me out like you did all those years back. Please, I beg you…" his tearful expression switched back to his cold demeanor, "Is what you thought I would say? Grandpa, do you still think that I am the old Han Keung who you could bully as you wanted?"

He leaned and smiled. "First of all, if I have no right to live in this house, so do you too. When I told Aunt Yueqin of your crimes, do you know how furious she was?"

A sharp silence descended.

"You hurt her precious daughter in the worst way possible. And for what? For a crime that uncle An never committed. Can you imagine her pain?"

Han Huizhong trembled and clenched his fist.

Xinyi gritted her teeth. "Keung! I know what you are trying to do, so stop with your manipulation."

"Did that hurt, sister-in-law?" He laughed. "You are so biased. I just wanted to make a point of why nobody can throw me out of this house anymore because second of all, I am the CEO of the company now. I can fire whatever employees I want at my discretion, and nobody can stop me."

Xia Liqin widened her eyes. "The employees working in the company are innocent, Keung. Do you even know how many are dependent on their salaries for their living? And you will kick them out?"

"I am the Boss. I call the shots now," he yawned.

Zizi stomped her foot hard. "You have completely lost your senses! Involving innocent people for your messed up revenge!"

"Whatever. Does anybody have any 'objections' now over my living here?" He sneered.

Xinyi was about to lash at him again, but Zhiyuan shook his head. After staying silent for all this time, he stared at his cousin and said, "Firstly, this house was always yours as much as it was Zizi and mine. Secondly, Grandpa never threw you out. He simply wanted you to understand your mistakes. You were young and rash, so it was our way to make you a better person."

Keung snorted.

"But it's okay if you never understood our intentions. I don't want a single employee of the Han Corps fired. They are loyal and dedicated. Don't bring them into the family's feud. Live here if that's what you want, but don't dare to hurt anyone in the company."

"Heh. And some of those 'loyal' employees easily gave away their shares to me for some benefits~"

Zhiyuan smiled. "It's their choice. The shares belonged to them, and it was their decision who they wanted to give it to. Even if I might have felt betrayed, I won't punish or distrust the rest of my family just because of a few bent employees."

"Ah such a big heart you have~"

Zhiyuan looked at Xinyi. "Let's head back to our rooms. I am done talking here."

---

Xinyi helped Zhiyuan on the bed and sat beside him. Siying hugged Xinyi's leg and pouted. "Mama, who was that uncle?"

Since Keung was sent abroad before Siying was born, he naturally didn't know of him. He had just heard his name in passing a few times by Han Guang and Han Mingli.

"That uncle was mean! I don't like him!"

Xinyi sighed. She ruffled his head. "He is your uncle. Uncle Keung. He was away for a few years, that's why you don't know him. But now he is back…"

"Uncle Keung is not a nice person? Mama was angry," He furrowed his brows as he seriously asked.

What should they say? Keung had tried to kill his brother and even his nephew.

Zhiyuan smiled and beckoned him to his side. He pinched his chubby cheek. "Uncle Keung is not bad. He just... has some misunderstandings about us. That's why he is a little mean to us. But I am sure that if we sit down and talk, everything will get solved. We just need some time. So, be nice to him."

Siying nodded hard. "Okay!"

He hopped away to do his homework.

Xinyi pursed her lips. "Was it okay to say that?"

"I don't know. I felt it was the right thing to say. He is just four. I don't want him hating people at such a young age. I don't want him to hate Keung. I know he began it all by embezzling the money, and he deserved that punishment. But at the same time, I also felt guilty for snatching his family for years. We were all together, but he was alone abroad. Sometimes, I felt that it was better to let him stay here and try to change his ways instead of sending him away."

Xinyi smiled and kissed his cheek. "You are a good big brother."

He chuckled. "Now let me hug you and show you how good husband I am~"
