Because I Cannot Hurt You-Chapter 21: Zhu Xiaosis message

Zizi shut the door to her room and collapsed on the bed, crying hard.

"Damn it! Who will meet that Soo Yunru!? As if I will marry a lowly police officer! It's all because of Xinyi! I hate her and Grandpa wants me to meet her brother for a marriage meeting? How could he?"

Tears continuously streamed down her eyes, making her pillow damp.

But she knew he was dead serious when he said that he would throw her out of the house if she refused to meet Soo Yunru.

A minute later, she heard somebody knock on her door.

"Zizi dear. It's me. Will you please open the door?" Han Guang softly said.

Aunt!

Zizi wiped her tears and quickly opened the door.

She looked concerned. "Zizi dear! Just look at you. Your eyes are so puffy."

Zizi burst into tears and hugged her. "Aunt. Did you hear what Grandpa said? He wants me to meet Soo Yunru! What will I do now? I don't want to marry him. I hate Xinyi and her family!"

Han Guang patted her back. "First stop crying, dear. Crying will not give you any solution. Let's talk."

She sniffled and calmed down after a few minutes.𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Good," she sat down with her on the bed and said lamentingly, "Really... Uncle is so harsh. That Xinyi has completely bewitched him. She has already ruined Zhiyuan's life by snatching him from my dear niece and now she has set to ruin your life too. That witch is playing her cards really well."

Zizi gritted her teeth. "Even bro is siding with her! I cannot believe it. He loves Caihong so much. So, why is he being a good husband to Xinyi? She doesn't deserve it!"

Han Guang sadly nodded. "But what can we do?" She glanced at her and gently wiped the corner of her eyes. "If Zhiyuan and Caihong had been together, they would have been so happy now…"

Zizi held her hands. "Aunt, don't worry. I won't let Xinyi get her way forever. I heard Caihong is back now. We will do something to get them back!"

Han Guang sighed but inwardly rejoiced. She wanted to precisely nudge her in that direction and she took the bait. With her support, she could plan many traps against Xinyi.

"Well, only time can tell about that. But I came here to help you."

Zizi teared up again and sobbed. "Aunt...what will I do now? Xinyi married bro just for money and I am sure he would do the same to me!"

Han Guang said, "Alright, don't cry. It isn't difficult to turn him down without getting into trouble."

Zizi blinked her eyes. "How?"

"Well, do something that puts some kind of blame on him. If he hurts you in any way, Uncle will automatically break this relationship."

Zizi went into deep thought.

"I see. I understand what you are saying. I think I know what to do now."

Han Guang smiled. "En. Good."

The next day, Zhiyuan, Xinyi and Liang, and Ah Cy were at the principal's office, waiting for that girl's parents.

Leina was sitting in Liang's lap while Siying was nervously clutching onto Xinyi's fingers.

She smiled. "Don't be afraid, Siying. We are all here."

Siying's little face was seemed anxious and in distress. "Mama...she is a really scary girl."

Zhiyuan ruffled his head. "Hey, champ. Don't worry. She won't be scary anymore after today."

Ah Cy cracked her knuckles again. "Of course my fists are ready to beat her parents if they don't 'listen.'"

Her demonic expression made Leina and Siying laugh.

"Mama is making a funny face."

Liang coughed. "No, dear. That is her serious face. She isn't joking at all."

The principal entered the office and took her seat. She seemed to be a little nervous.

"I am sorry for making you wait."

Zhiyuan said in a plain voice. "Where are that girl and her parents?"

The principal hesitated. "Actually...they can't be here today."

Ah Cy banged on the desk. "What! Are they running away? How dare they?"

Zhiyuan and Xinyi frowned.

"No, no. They aren't running away. Actually, while taking admission for their daughter, they had asked her identity to keep a secret. Not only hers but themselves as well. So, they cannot really meet you like this…Her father said that they have their reasons for this but he cannot reveal it."

Liang said, "Huh? What nonsense is this? Are they cooking up a story now because his daughter hurt Siying and doesn't want to face us?"

The principal quickly said, "No, no! It's really not the case. We are bound by the promise of confidentiality or else they would withdraw her from this school. Of course, no school would want that…"

Xinyi said, "I understand your position. But please understand ours as well. We are not here to scream or yell at that girl. We just want to know why she pushed Siying without any provocation. As his parents, we deserve to know the reason. I don't want my son getting hurt and bullied again. We just want to calmly talk and settle things."

Zhiyuan smiled.

Usually, Xinyi was very timid but whenever it concerned Siying, she would always speak up.

He asked, "What does her father have to say about what happened? Surely, he must have got some message to clear up the misunderstanding."

I will surely incur the Han family's wrath by saying what Mr. Zhu told me!

"That…" she wiped her forehead.

Ah Cy narrowed her eyes. "What did he say?"

She gulped.

"Well...he said that...his daughter wouldn't apologize to Siying for p-pushing him. Never."
