Because I Cannot Hurt You

Han Keung smiled. "What did they do?"

Xinyi clenched her fist. "They fed all lies in Siying's head that Zhiyuan and I don't love him and brainwashed him into running away from home. My son ran away. He was alone in the city for hours, hungry and thirsty. He suffered so much. He was close to even getting kidnapped by traffickers! Of course, I was furious. They played with a three-year old child's life as if it was a game. Do you still think they deserved to live with us? Siying is their grand-nephew. Is this what elders do in a family?"

Han Keung tilted his head. "So what?"

Xinyi stared at him. "'So what?' Are you seriously asking me that?"

"Why not? I mean, I always hated my dear cousin for taking away my position as the CEO. So if something was getting snatched from him, I don't see any problem with it. Shouldn't he also understand how it feels to lose your most precious thing?"

She was stupefied. "You...you are comparing a mere position to a life? I see. You are just like your parents. Neither did they have any heart, nor do you! And what nonsense about Zhiyuan snatching your position? He got it fair and square from Grandpa. He deserves to be the CEO because he is capable."

"And I am not?" He squinted his eyes.

"You should ask that question to yourself. Why did Grandpa send you abroad? If you hadn't embezzled money from the Han Corps in the past, Grandpa wouldn't have been forced to take that step. It's only because Zhiyuan convinced him not to be so harsh towards you. He wanted to give you another chance in hope that you will change. He did that because he loves you as a brother. That's why Grandpa only resorted to sending you to another country. Otherwise, you know he would have disowned you."

Han Keung sneered. "Great. So you think I owe him a debt. I should lick his feet in exchange for his 'help.'"

Xinyi smiled. "It's not a debt. There are no debts in a family. He is your elder brother. That's why he cares about you. But I don't expect you to understand that, and I am not interested in proving you Zhiyuan's innocence. It doesn't matter what you think about him because I know what the truth is."

"Woah. It's so refreshing to see this side of yours, sister-in-law. As far as I remember, you never had the courage to even talk. But now you are arguing with me."

"Times change and so do people. Zhiyuan and all of us expected that time would change you too. But we were wrong."

Han Keung laughed. "What do you mean? Of course, time has changed me. I am not the same old Keung you and the rest of the family can bully me anymore. Neither you are capable enough now to challenge me."

Xinyi had it now.

"Please leave, Keung. You already crossed your limit by sitting on Zhiyuan's seat. I don't want to see your m anymore."

Han Keung smiled. "And that's where I have changed, sister-in-law. You cannot throw me away from here anymore because soon, I will be the new CEO of the Han Corps."

"Stop dreaming, Keung."

"Unfortunately, it's reality for you."

He took out a file and slid it towards her. "Read it."

Xinyi frowned. She picked up the file and flipped over the pages. Her eyes slowly widened as she realized what it was about.

They were Han Corps' share transfer papers.

In it, she saw a few names from the company's board of directors who transferred their shares to Han Keung.

Among the list were also - Han Tian, Han Liqin and Zizi.

The file trembled in her hands.

"This…"

Han Keung laughed. "Surprise! Oh, or was it a shock for you?"

Xinyi gripped the file in her hands. "Stop fooling me, Keung. I know these must be fake papers!"

"Well, if that's how you want to fool yourself, then so be it."

"It's impossible! None of the members in our board of directors would agree to this! And Mom, Dad and Zizi? They will never transfer their shares to you either!"

"Why not? If my dear cousin is in the hospital, then they pretty much don't have any choice."

She stared at him hard, and the glint in his eyes made her shudder.

"Keung. Did you...did you have anything to do with Zhiyuan's accidents?"

He beamed. "Oh, so you figured it out. Great! I was waiting for it."

Xinyi threw the file at his face, enraged. She angrily walked around the desk, wanting to slap him. But he caught her hand before it hit his face.

"Now, now, sister-in-law. No need to become so violent."

"Han Keung!" She roared. "You tried to kill your own brother!? Thrice!? Have you lost it! Not only Zhiyuan, but my son would have lost his life too! How...How could you do this! He is your brother, for God's sake! For the sake of a measly position, you could even take your brother's life?"

Tears slipped down her cheeks as she recalled Zhiyuan's condition in the hospital.

"You are even a bigger monster than Uncle Mingli and Aunt Guang!"

Han Keung squinted his eyes. "Measly position? I always dreamed of sitting in this chair and managing the Han Corps, but every one of you took it away from me. If I was the CEO, Grandpa wouldn't have dared to kick Mom and Dad out of the house. Not only you all threw me away abroad, you also humiliated my parents and brought them to such a pathetic state.

You all ruined my family. Heh. You and that bastard cousin of mine played such a smart game. Grandpa kicked me out because of him, and he kicked Mom and Dad out because of you. And now who rules the Han family? Han Zhiyuan! Who will be the next CEO? Han Siying, of course! And what are we left with? Nothing! Nothing at all.. That's why I am back to get revenge and claim what always belonged to me."
