Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 479 Show kindness who deserves

"Dada!"

Just then the door opened and a sweet little angel came hopping in. Chyou threw her arms towards him. "Dada!"

Xiaosi brightened as the sun. "Chyou…"

Behind her An Guoting and Shuang came in. "We brought her here the moment we heard the news from Jack Si. Or rather Shuang 'specifically' received the news from Jack Si."

Her mouth twitched.

"What do you want to imply, Dad?"

An Guoting shrugged. "Just pointing out a fact that Jack Si specifically called you."

"You don't need to repeat that," she rolled her eyes.

Caihong beamed and picked Chyou in her arms. She placed her on the bed beside Xiaosi. "Dada you are awake?"

Xiaosi stared at his daughter as his eyes turned misty.

"It's been how many months…eight or nine? How big have you grown already? It feels as if you will turn an adult in no time…"

He cupped her face and gently patted her cheeks.

Missing a few months of his daughter's life felt melancholic. To others, it may only seem eight months, but to him, he had lost eight whole months of Chyou's life. He felt as if he already lost a lot.

Chyou brightly smiled. "En! I will be a big girl and take care of Mama and Dada!"

He chuckled. "I do not want you to grow so big so soon."

She pouted. "Dada, will you sleep like that again? It's not good to sleep for so long! Aunt Zizi says that it affects beauty. I don't want Dada to look ugly…Dada is very handsome!"

Shuang sneered. "Don't worry, my dear niece. If your Dada looks ugly, then we will just throw him out. At least, he won't trouble us like this anymore."

Xiaosi pursed his lips. "You…"

Chyou gasped and fiercely protected Xiaosi. "You cannot throw Dada out! Dada is good. He not do it on purpose. Give Dada a chance!" She harrumphed.

Caihong widened her eyes. An Guoting laughed hard. "Hahaha. That's my granddaughter."

An Guoting watched the smile return on his daughter's face.

If only Yueqin could be here too…Everything would have felt so complete.

Shuang noticed his expression and quietly held his hand. "That day will come soon, Dad," she whispered.

He wiped the corner of his eye. "I hope so…"

A while later, Xiaosi's half-siblings, Lei Shu and Lei Shing came rushing too as soon as they got the news.

"Bro!"

Xiaosi looked at them, shocked. "You…"

Caihong smiled. "I called them. It wasn't just me who was waiting for you. Your brother and sister have worked hard for these months too."

Lei Shu sobbed as she hugged him. "When I heard that you were conscious, I thought that sister-in-law was pulling a prank on me! I couldn't believe it at all!"

Lei Shing asked, "Do you remember everything now?"

Caihong answered it for him. "No. He hasn't gotten his full memory back."

"Oh. That's fine too! As long as bro is safe."

They tightly hugged Xiaosi and in the end, he had to say, "Ugh…you two are hugging too tightly."

Lei Shu glared at him. "Of course we will! We are talking to you after eight whole months! We wanna feel your hug! This is a sibling reunion hug. It's gonna be tight and cozy."

"So, don't complain, bro," Lei Shing said.

Xiaosi looked at them from top to bottom. "You two are just like Chyou. Everybody has changed so much in these eight months. You don't look like brats at all now."

Lei Shu pouted. "I never looked like a brat."

"No, you did," Lei Shing smirked. "I was always the mature one."

"Hey!"

"Don't forget that you always got into trouble, and Dad and I used to get it sorted out for you."

"You didn't create any less troubles yourself!"

"I did not!"

Xiaosi intervened. "Alright, alright. Don't fight among yourselves. Peace."

They stuck out their tongues in embarrassment.

"...And what about Mrs. Lei? How is she?"

They froze. The merry atmosphere turned into silence.

Watching their troubled expressions, Xiaosi felt that something was off. "What's wrong?"

Caihong coldly said, "You don't need to care about her."

He blinked his eyes. Seeing her so angry was not the reaction he had expected.

"...Did something happen?"

She sneered. "She is the cause of your condition right now. She was the one responsible for your accident."

Xiaosi blankly stared at her.

"I was just as shocked as you are because no matter how much a mother hates her child, she wouldn't go so far as trying to kill him, right? But she did. It wasn't an accident. She had bribed the truck driver to crash into your car."

He felt as if his whole body became numb.

He nervously laughed. "That's…That's not possible, Caihong."

She narrowed her eyes. "She has confessed to her crimes herself and right now, she is in jail serving her sentence."

He froze.

"You can ask Yunru if you don't believe us. The truth is that Mrs. Lei planned your murder."

She clenched her fist in disgust. "I wish I could kill her myself! She doesn't deserve to be called a mother!"

Lei Shu and Lei Shing had nothing to say. Their silence confirmed the truth.

"Ah…I-I see…" Xiaosi didn't know what he felt at that moment. "I guess I became too much of a burden for her."

"You! Don't you dare blame yourself for this, okay? It was all in her head."

Lei Shu faintly smiled. "Bro, she is right. We are ashamed to call her our mother. We…" a tear slipped out of her eye, "We never thought she would go this far."

Lei Shing wasn't as emotional as his sister. "She is suffering her punishment for what she has asked for. I refuse to acknowledge such a mother. I feel disgusted that she carried such hatred for you when you were never at fault."

Caihong nodded. "That's why, Xiaosi. If you feel bad about her, then trust me, I will throw divorce papers right at your face!"

He choked. "Caihong…"

"I don't have a choice! You are too kind. I bet you must be secretly thinking about getting her out of jail, right?" She looked at him with suspicion.

He stiffened. "N-No…"

"Aha! I was right! You were thinking just that! I tell you, Mr. Zhu. You dare to get her out of jail and you will be dead meat by my hands! Your kindness is lost on her. Show it to someone who actually deserves it!"
