Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 75 - An Unexpected Help



Chapter 75 – An Unexpected Help

Now, Caihong felt truly afraid. Even if Xiaosi had rebutted her claims last night about him and Xinyi colluding together, she couldn't take her mind out of it. She couldn't believe him and so she didn't trust Xinyi either.

When she saw Xinyi today, all she could think of was how Xinyi admitted her feelings for Zhiyuan and how she could have been behind the tragedy that forced her to go away from him.

An Meiying gasped. "Caihong, the message is right there! How didn't you see it?"

Shuang pressed her brows.

She was sure that An Meiying was behind Siying's allergic reaction, and she was going to confront her. But by not reading Xinyi's message, Caihong made a grave error as well.

Xinyi was stupefied. "I don't understand. Why didn't you read the message?"

Caihong trembled. She covered her face and quietly sobbed.

She might defend herself for not adding the soy sauce in his food, but how could she not admit that she left Xinyi's message unread?

She might not be the cause of Siying's condition, but she was the reason why it worsened to the point of bringing him to the hospital.

"I am sorry…" she gasped. "I-I…It was my fault that I ignored it."

Zhiyuan asked, pursing his lips in disappointment, "Ignore? Why Caihong? You were never this irresponsible. What went so wrong? Neither you allowed Xinyi to talk nor you read her message."

She froze. She could clearly sense the disappointment and let down in his voice.

Siying was her responsibility and on the first day itself, he had to be admitted.

An Meiying looked at Zhiyuan and guiltily shook her head. "This Zhiyuan, I apologize on behalf of Caihong. I don't know what to say. I think she still felt uncomfortable teaching him because," she coughed, "…he is your son. Caihong, you should have rejected the request if you really didn't want this."

Zhiyuan and Xinyi glanced at each other.

They remembered that she wanted to deny teaching him anymore after the cruise, but with Shuang's insistence and Siying's pleading, she agreed.

But Zhiyuan also felt that things weren't so simple. An Meiying's behavior was suspicious too with the way she was egging them against Caihong.

Just then Xiaosi and behind him, An Guoting came as well.

They felt the gloomy atmosphere from far away.

"Caihong!" An Guoting rushed to her side. Seeing her trembling shoulders and tearful cheeks, he panicked.

"Caihong dear. Don't worry, okay. Whatever happened…"

An Meiying clutched his arm. "Dear, thank God you came. I don't know what to do anymore. Caihong's irresponsibility has put Siying in danger."

"I heard everything on the way."

He seemed a little disturbed and annoyed, making An Meiying puzzled.

Caihong said, "I admit that I was wrong in ignoring Xinyi's message, but I swear I didn't add the soy sauce! I would never harm Siying on purpose!"

An Guoting anxiously said, "Caihong, don't cry. We will sort it out, okay? I will handle it."

An Meiying sneered.

Even Guoting doesn't believe her. Success!

Caihong collapsed on the seat, sobbing hard.

Nobody believes me… Nobody would believe me now…Even Dad thinks that I did it. Even Zhiyuan is disappointed in me.

Because she ignored the message, it was easy to blame her for the accident too that she had planned everything.

Suddenly, somebody grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Startled, she looked up at Xiaosi with teary eyes.

An Guoting was furious. "Xiaosi! Let her go! Don't you dare touch my daughter!"

Xiaosi ignored him. He looked at Caihong in disdain. "Stop being so pathetic, Caihong. You are Mrs. Zhu. Sitting around crying like that and taking the accusations doesn't suit the lady of the Zhu family."

Caihong blinked her eyes.

For a moment, she felt disoriented.

The doctor stepped out.

Xinyi asked, "Siying! How is he now? I-Is it serious?"

The doctor said, "Everything is fine now, Mrs. Han. We have administered him the medicine and his skin is going back to normal. His breathing is stable too. He will wake up in a few minutes."

Zhiyuan and Xinyi finally let out their breaths in relief. "Thank you so much, doctor."

The doctor smiled. "It's my job, Mr. Han. You can meet him now."

Without wasting any time, they rushed inside.

An Guoting dragged An Meiying away to talk to her alone while Shuang stared at them for a moment and then also went with Xinyi and Zhiyuan in the ward.

The tears plopped out on her cheeks once again. They were a mixture of relief and guilt at the same time.

"Stop crying already!" Xiaosi said in distaste. "Allowing everybody to step on you like that… Didn't you learn anything from me in the last seven years?"

Caihong shook her arm off. "I don't want to hear from you! You must be so happy right now. Go ahead and blame me. Nobody believes me anyway and-"

"I believe you."

She jolted in surprise. Her breath hitched for a moment.

He wasn't kidding at all. His gaze was dead serious and so was his voice. The conviction was unshakeable.

Xiaosi smiled and lifted a lock of her hair as he twirled it around his finger. "Something like purposely harming Zhiyuan's kid suits a man like me. A rotten man to the core. Of course, you wouldn't take the job away from me, right?"

Caihong was unable to respond. The last person that she had expected anything from was saying those words to her.

"So just chill and leave it to me."

Xiaosi stepped back and walked away. His expression turned cold and alarming as he turned his face away from her.

He saw An Guoting and An Meiying standing in a corner. An Guoting seemed terribly anxious for some reason.

Xiaosi tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.

His phone buzzed with a ding. It was his assistant he put to investigate.

'I got the maid.'

He smiled and typed.

'Let's welcome her then.'

Yunru stepped into the mall and climbed to the eighth floor from where he got the complaint of a fuss going on. It was a fashion store and he saw a crowd gathered there.

"Cop here. Move away."

Yunru showed his badge and the people immediately made way for him. He already heard two people yelling and cursing each other.

"Don't you lie! I saw it myself! You were stalking me all the way up to the changing room!"

Yunru paused. That woman's voice was all too familiar to him. His brows raised in amusement as he saw Zizi arguing with a couple.

He recognized the man. He was a businessman Yi Cheng and the woman beside him was his wife, Yi Ming.

Yi Cheng indignantly said, "Don't blame me. Why would I follow you? I am already married."

Zizi stomped her foot. "Because you are a disgusting man! You were eyeing me the whole time even when you got a wife. You should be ashamed of yourself."

Yi Ming flared. "Stop it! I know girls like you! You all want to latch onto a rich man like my husband and seduce him! You planned this for extorting hefty compensation from us didn't you?"

Zizi was shocked. "Do you know who I am? I am Han Zizi. Han Huizhong's granddaughter. Men are dying to marry me to become the son-in-law of my family. Do you think I need to chase after a man for money? Are you daydreaming?"

Yi Ming snorted. "Maybe you fell for him at first sight and he is wealthy anyway."

Zizi said in disdain. "I don't have such a bad taste in men like you! I am not blind."

Yi Cheng gritted his teeth. "Miss, you are insulting me now on top of accusing me!"

Yi Ming suddenly turned violent and pushed Zizi hard. "Such a disgusting homewrecker. It was you following him and now that you are caught, you are shamelessly blaming my husband!"

Zizi stumbled back and gasped but she was quickly caught from falling. She raised her head and was shocked to see Yunru.

"What are you doing here!"

Yunru said, "Is this how you talk to the man who saved you from falling?"

"I don't need your help!"

He shrugged. "Cool. My bad."

And he unceremoniously moved away, dropping her down on the floor.

"Ouch!" Zizi fell down with a thud. She was burning in rage. "How dare you!"

Yi Ming laughed at her state. "This is what you deserve."

Zizi felt embarrassed especially before the couple who started harassing her first.

Yunru sighed. "You get mad if I help you. You get mad even if I do as you say. Make your mind oh princess Han Zizi."

He narrowed his eyes at Yi Ming. "As you see, I am the cop here, so refrain from acting violently like that, or I will directly dump you into jail for taking the law into your hands. Only I got the license here to punch and push people."
