Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 17: Enter the younger sister

Han villa.

"Xinyi!"

Ah Cy tightly hugged her.

The Xu family had come to visit after their business trip. There was a huge pile of gifts on the table.

Xinyi smiled. "Ah Cy!"

"Ah, I missed you so much."

"En. I missed you too. Wait, are those muscles that I see?" She chuckled. "Did you go for a business trip or training?"

Ay Cy proudly smiled. "Both."

Then she looked back at her husband. "Liang! Don't slack! Where are the other gifts?"

Liang's mouth twitched. "These are all of them. Just how many have you bought?"

"These are nearly not enough," she rolled her eyes.

Liang cried. "Where is Zhiyuan? Let me cry in my best buddy's arms."

"Aunt Xinyi!"

Three years old little Leina trotted towards her and jumped in her arms.

Xinyi brightened. "My Leina! How are you, dear?"

"Aunt, I missed you very much!"

Xinyi kissed her cheek. "En. I missed you loads too. You look so adorable in this new dress. Well, you look cute in everything."

Liang smirked. "Of course. After all, she is my daughter. That's why she is so cute and adorable."

Ah Cy pulled his ear.

"Ow ow ow! Hey!"

She narrowed her eyes. "She is my daughter too. Don't forget I gave birth to her."

"O-of course, my dear wife. How can I ever forget that?"

"Aunt! Where is Siying?"

"He is in his room. Go quickly!"

Leina immediately ran towards his room.

Liang got nervous and coughed. "S-stay a little away from him! Distance!"

"Okay, Dada!" She giggled. However, she wasn't going to listen to him.

Ah Cy smacked on his head. "What stay away from him? Xinyi dear, please don't mind this idiot."

Xinyi helplessly chuckled. "You worry too much."

Liang mumbled. "Well, she is my adorable daughter. I want her to stay away from all boys, but it couldn't be helped that you have a son, so I don't have any choice-"

"Oof, enough Liang! You are being creepy now."

Xinyi coughed. "Anyway, I would love to have Leina as my daughter-in-law in the future, so…"

A lethal strike to his heart.

"Hey, Xinyi! You are acting more and more like Zhiyuan. He said the same thing yesterday too. You husband-wife…I should really stop bringing Leina to this house! You two will definitely brainwash my innocent daughter wuwu."

Just then, Zhiyuan came down the stairs and said, "Xinyi. I have talked to the principal. Chyou's parents will be there tomorrow."

Xinyi nodded.

Ah Cy sensed a little tension. "What's wrong?"

Xinyi pursed her lips. "It's Siying. He got hurt in school today."

"What?" Ah Cy and Liang were shocked. "How? Leina didn't say anything to us."

"She wasn't there with him at that time…"

Then Xinyi told everything that Siying said to her.

The atmosphere turned serious.

Liang said, "This is indeed a serious matter. I will come with you too."

Ah Cy nodded. "Me too. Siying is like our son too. How dare that girl push him like that?"

She cracked her knuckles and smiled devilishly. "And if her parents refuse to apologize, then my fist will make them bwahahaaha!"

The rest of the three gulped.

It wasn't very wise to fight with Ah Cy.

Zhiyuan coughed. "Thank you, but I think Xinyi and I are enough. We don't want to make them feel that we are ganging upon them. I think it must be a misunderstanding anyway."

Ah Cy shot a glare at him. "Shut up, Zhiyuan. We are coming, and that's that. Or do you want to have a taste of my fist first before that girl's parents?"

Liang and Xinyi promptly stepped back. They knew that between Ah Cy and anybody else, it was always wise to take Ah Cy's side.

Xinyi lamented.

Sorry, Zhiyuan. Only this time, I cannot stand by your side.

Zhiyuan's brow twitched. "... Please do come."

Ah Cy nodded in satisfaction. "Good boy."

"Hey, who is bullying my big brother!"

A beautiful woman, wearing high heels and a pretty floral dress and a lace tied on her waist, stepped into the house. She was the same age as Xinyi.

Han Zizi. Zhiyuan's younger sister.

"Ah Cy! You are bullying my brother again."

Ah Cy rolled her eyes. "If you think that's bullying, then what will you say when I actually bully someone, oh princess?"

Zizi stomped her foot. "Don't call me princess in that mocking tone."

"Well, you sure act all high and mighty and spoilt, so why not? Though it's Zhiyuan's fault for spoiling you so much."

"I am not spoilt!"

"The more you shout that the more you are."

Xinyi quickly said, "Now, now. Ah Cy, please don't say-"

Zizi narrowed her eyes and suddenly stepped in front of Xinyi. She sneered. "I don't need a man snatcher like you to take my side. Don't act like you care about me."

Silence.

Xinyi stiffened.

"Zizi!" Zhiyuan warned. "This is not any way to talk to your sister-in-law."

"She is not my sister-in-law! She snatched Caihong's place to marry you! I will never forgive her."

Zhiyuan shut his eyes. "Zizi. I don't want this discussion again. Get back to your room."

Zizi angrily laughed. "And look now. She even brought differences between us. You...you never used to talk to me like that, bro. Never when Caihong was there with us, but she ruined everything."

"Zizi…"

"Bro. Caihong is back."

Once again, there was silence.

Zizi held his arm and looked at him in anticipation. "Bro. She is back. You should-"

Zhiyuan coldly stared at her. "I should what, Zizi? Complete that sentence."

From above the corridor, Han Mingli and Han Guang were watching the show.

Han Guang sneered. "Zizi will be our mastercard in bringing back Zhiyuan and Caihong together."

Han Mingli said, "I hope so. She is the only one who openly resents Xinyi."

Xinyi clenched her fists. "I will just go and check on the kids…"

"Wait here, Xinyi," Zhiyuan said.

He looked back at Zizi and said, "So, complete what you were going to say."

Zizi said, "You should get back together with Caihong! Didn't you always love each other so deeply? Why are you still forcing yourself to live with Xinyi?"

Xinyi shut her eyes in despair. Her shoulders slightly trembled.

Zhiyuan stared at her. "Zizi. I am sure I never taught you these things. You want me to get back together with Caihong and ruin Xinyi and Siying's life?"
