Because I Cannot Hurt You

The next morning at the breakfast table, there were two additional members whose presence had shocked everybody. As Xia Liqin climbed down the stairs, her eyes widened upon seeing her sister-in-law.

Han Mingli and Han Guang were casually munching on their breakfast when they saw her coming.

Xia Liqin asked in disbelief, "What are you two doing here?"

Han Guang smiled. "Woah, sister-in-law. That isn't the question you should be asking me. I mean, aren't you already divorced from brother-in-law? So why are YOU still here?"

Xia Liqin stiffened. Her question struck a painful chord in her chest.

I know I shouldn't be living here anymore…

A cold voice came from behind her, which pointed straight at Han Guang. "A shameful prisoner who tried to harm a three year old child shouldn't be asking this question, Guang."

Han Guang narrowed her eyes.

Han Tian stood beside Xia Liqin, who seemed to be uncomfortable by Han Guang's remark. He frowned and flicked on her forehead. "Are you seriously letting her words affect you? All this time, she did nothing but shamelessly used the Han family's wealth and then ended up in prison while you set up a successful career all by your own. No matter what, you will always be entitled to live here, not her."

Xia Liqin slowly stared at him in a stupor. Suddenly, her cheeks turned crimson. "W-what did you suddenly…"

She didn't expect him to say such words about her.

"You are a confident businesswoman. What are you doing letting some trash's words get to you who cannot stand beside you at any level?"

Xia Liqin felt her heart incredibly warm.

Han Mingli glared at him. "Cousin Tian. Aren't you being too rude here?"

He sneered. "Is it pricking you? It only does because it's the truth. What did your wife do apart from mingling in socialite's parties and showing off her status as the daughter-in-law of this family? Liqin will always be a member of this family whether we are divorced or not. Prisoners who ideally should be still serving in jail shouldn't be commenting on who gets to live here and who doesn't."

Their faces contorted as black as a charcoal. They wanted to see their faces filled with despair but still got humiliated by Han Tian.

"What is happening?" Xinyi asked as she came down, holding Zhiyuan's hand. She froze upon seeing the duo.

"You…"

It struck her immediately that only Keung could be behind this. Who else would bring them back to the villa?

Han Guang sneered. "Welcome, Xinyi. How are you? Long time no see."

She picked up the fruit knife and swirled it in her hand. "I remember how you chased me like a psycho with this fruit knife. Be careful, Xinyi. Now that I will be living here again, I will pay back every humiliation you made me go through. You will regret messing with me."

Xinyi smiled. "What I regret is not killing you with the knife that day, Aunt Guang. This world would have been so peaceful."

"Pfft!" Zhiyuan almost burst into laughter. He cleared his throat and said with a serious expression. "I wasn't laughing."

Han Guang was stunned.

This bitch!

"Heh. You have got quite the tongue. You were such a coward before who couldn't even win her husband's love for seven whole years, and now you are talking back to me?"

That made the temperature immediately plummet as Zhiyuan oozed out a dark aura. He tilted his head and dangerously smiled. "Indeed. Xinyi and I are such cowards, Aunt Guang. Neither she could confess nor I could move forward. But it's waaaay better than a certain coward I know who had to resort to a one night stand to get pregnant by Uncle Mingli's child and enter this family."

Han Guang stiffened. "Han Zhiyuan! How many times do I have to tell you that I hadn't plotted anything!"

"It's alright, Aunt. You can keep on lying forever. We don't care."

"You-"

"Stop getting so hyper, Mom."

Keung yawned and joined his parents at the table. "Ah, my dear son!"

Han Guang immediately got up and hugged him. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"

He smirked. "Well, I am back at HOME now, so of course I had a good sleep."

Han Mingli laughed. "Good, good. Young people should have good sleep."

Han Guang sniffled. "You are such a filial son who still thinks about us. Otherwise, the rest of the family had already threw us out."

Xinyi narrowed her eyes. "Your family is such an expert on blaming others even if they made the mistake first. Say, Aunt. If I had done something to hurt Keung that could kill him, then would your heart have been big enough to forgive me?"

She clenched her jaw in a fury. "You…"

"See? It made you so angry even thinking of anybody trying to hurt your son. But you actually DID harm my son and then expect not to be punished for it. Is this hypocrisy or not... please enlighten me."

Xia Liqin shook her head. "Don't waste your words on them, dear. They are the kind of people who feel entitled to harm others but cannot tolerate the same thing to happen to them."

Keung took a banana in his hand and took a bite. "You have so much energy in the morning, but cousin Zhiyuan," he smiled, "Have you thought of where to go at this moment?"

He raised his brow.

"I mean now that I am the CEO, do you expect to keep working at the company? Or maybe if you beg me a little, I might consider you for the position of maybe a copier? Or cleaner?"

Han Mingli and Han Guang sneered.

Zhiyuan wasn't the least bit offended. "You should come up with better insults if you want to even twitch my eyebrow in annoyance. As for the company, it's yours. This is also a good chance for us to see how far you can take the company. Do you give profits or incur losses? I am happy to see you take the responsibility. Meanwhile, I can finally have my honeymoon with Xinyi. So, you actually did me a favor there."

Xinyi was nodding until now but the last part made her speechless.

Honeymoon…

"I need to work hard so that I can hold my daughter as soon as possible."

"*Cough cough!!*"
