Because I Cannot Hurt You

Lei Biya secretly clenched her fingers and her eyes glowed in frustration. "You are here again…"

She recalled Caihong saying that he had lost his memories. But now meeting him again in the summit where she was, she couldn't help but get suspicious. She felt as if he was purposely following her everywhere.

Did he come here to cause trouble for me!?

Lei Biya was more agitated because this time, her whole family was here. Her children, Lei Shing and Lei Shu and her husband, Lei Deming too.

She paled upon realizing what would happen if Lei Deming met Xiaosi…

"Why don't you just leave me alone?" She gritted her teeth. "What is your purpose in coming to this Summit? Don't tell me your wife lied to me when she said that you lost-"

"Mrs. Lei!" Xiaosi sharply cut her off.

Chyou was evidently shocked by the sudden turn in her behavior. Just now, she was so sweet and smiling. But now, she looked furious.

She hid behind Xiaosi.

Lei Biya was startled by being suddenly cut off. Xiaosi awkwardly smiled. "Please…don't say anything unnecessary," he anxiously said.

Chyou was kept unaware of his memory loss, and if she came to know that Xiaosi didn't remember his daughter or knew nothing about her, she would feel hurt and distressed.

He softly squeezed her shoulder. He stepped a little further and whispered, "We have kept it hidden from Chyou. So please. Don't say anything unnecessary that would hurt my daughter."

He was polite but firm and a little stern at the same time.

Lei Biya stiffened.

Chyou pursed her lips. "Dada. Why is she angry at you?"

Xiaosi quickly said, "No, no. She is not angry at me."

Her little brows furrowed.

She looked at Lei Biya and came out of her hiding. She stood between them and raised her head. "Don't be mad at Dada! My Dada is very nice!"

Lei Biya faintly snickered.

"Nice... Really now? You say that you don't want to hurt your daughter, but then why are you here? Is it not because you are following me? Tell me, Xiaosi. How should I believe what Caihong said!? You are everywhere where I am! Will you say that this is a coincidence? You...you are really here to destroy my family, aren't you? You really want to reveal everything to them so that they start hating me! Why can't you just stay out of my life?"

Chyou jolted a little as she suddenly raised her voice. 

Xiaosi said, "You are misunderstanding, Mrs. Lei. I had no idea that you would be here."

"Give that excuse to somebody else!"

Tears pooled in Chyou's eyes. "You-you are mean... Don't bully my Dada!"

She trotted forward and began hitting her on her thighs. "You are bad! Say sorry to Dada!"

Xiaosi widened his eyes. He hastily pulled her hand. "Chyou. Come back."

Lei Biya angrily laughed. "I was wrong. I thought that her parents taught her good manners but here she is already acting so violently at her age towards her elders. What else can I expect from her? I think she has gotten that horrible man's blood who tortured me! No wonder violence is in her nature!"

"Enough!" Xiaosi glowered at her with an extremely frosty expression that plummeted the temperature by a few degrees.

"You can say whatever you want about me. But don't spout any nonsense about my wife and my daughter. I am warning you," his voice was dangerous and cold.

His blood boiled at her poisonous words. To compare Chyou to his hideous and cruel father was so

mething he wouldn't tolerate at all.

Chyou burst into tears with the argument. Now along with Xiaosi, she was scolding her too. She suddenly dashed away from Xiaosi.

"Chyou!"

He wanted to run after her, but Lei Biya blocked his way. "Tell me. What are you planning?"

Xiaosi's expression darkened. "I am not planning anything! I know we might share a horrible past, but we both have moved on from it. You have your own family and so do I."

"Then why would you even be here!? This is the Annual Business Summit where prestigious CEOs of MNCs gather. What possible reason would you have to be here if you are not following me?"

"What is happening here?"

Caihong hastily rushed towards Xiaosi as Chyou came crying to her. She was shocked to hear that some elderly woman was fighting with Xiaosi.

She was stunned to see Lei Biya. Suddenly, she knew why the fight happened.

Liang asked, "Hey, what's wrong? Who made your little pumpkin cry?" He glared.

They all turned silent upon seeing Xiaosi's mother.

Caihong gritted her teeth. "Mrs. Lei. I think I already made myself clear last time what Xiaosi is going through. So I fail to understand why would you still blame Xiaosi?"

Chyou hugged Caihong's legs as she sniffled. "Bad Aunt...She was scolding Dada!"

Lei Biya folded her arms. "I remember what you said last time. But I don't feel that this is a coincidence for him to be here! He...he is definitely doing this-"

"To what?" Caihong glared at her. "Xiaosi and you live in the same city. You cannot expect that you won't ever run into him. Everytime, you cannot accuse my husband that he is stalking you! Why don't you understand that we don't want to ruin anything in your life?"

Lei Biya tremblingly raised her finger. "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Because you are unnecessarily targeting my husband and even made my daughter cry! Am I supposed to just stand here and do nothing?"

Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. "Also, I think you are misunderstanding something here. Are you thinking that Xiaosi is some no-name guy who just happened to be here? This is the Summit and, of course, he would be here as the respectable businessman that he is. He hasn't barged here just to trouble you. He has been invited like all others are."

Lei Biya blinked her eyes. "What? What do you mean?"

"You are really clueless, huh? Xiaosi is the CEO of S3 Company.. The same company where your son, Lei Shing, went to ask for his help to Lei Exports."
