Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 76 - Zhiyuans Fury



Chapter 76 - Zhiyuan\'s Fury

Yi Ming felt a little intimidated by his presence.

"You...Take her to jail! She suddenly started accusing my husband of a pervert!"

Yi Cheng was distressed. "I don\'t know what this miss wants but I would never cheat on my wife. She is defaming me as a stalker. I want to file a complaint against her!"

Zizi felt incredulous. "Who are you to file any complaint? It should be me charging you for harassment! You even grabbed my arm and then claimed that it was an accident. You all did this when your wife was busy changing!"

"All lies. How far will you go in framing an innocent man?"

"Enough," Yunru said with a stern voice. "Step back all three of you."

Zizi gnashed her teeth. "Why did they send you of all people? Send another cop! As if you would help me!"

Yunru smiled. "Ah, how I really wish for someone else to take my place. Unfortunately, it doesn\'t work that way so bear with me just like I am bearing you."

A vein popped on her forehead in pure hatred.

This man!

Yunru glanced at the manager. "CCTV?"

The manager jolted with the question. "I-it stopped functioning a while back."

"How while back?"

He began to sweat. "A week…"

"And yet you didn\'t take the trouble of calling a technician and fixing it? Should I dump you in jail too for being so irresponsible towards your store\'s security?" Yunru narrowed his eyes.

"No, no! Please forgive me. I-I will fix it right away!"

Yunru said, "Now without further ado, let me end this. Yi Cheng, please come with me to the station. You are booked under charges of harassing a woman."

Zizi jerked her head towards him in shock.

So soon?

"Y-You are taking my side?"

"I am taking the justice\'s side," he commented.

Yi Ming exclaimed. "Why is my husband getting arrested? She is the one lying through her teeth!"

Yi Cheng said, "Officer, what are you saying? Where is the evidence? You didn\'t even question what happened."

Yunru said, "I don\'t need to. I got my evidence the moment I caught Han Zizi from falling. She has put a strong deodorant on her that is rubbed onto me. I can smell that same deodorant coming from you. If you claimed that you never followed her or forcibly held her arm, then why are you stinking with the deo Han Zizi has put on her?"

Yi Ming widened her eyes. She stepped closer to Yi Cheng and smelled him.

"Cheng! Y-You are smelling of the deo!"

"No! It\'s all lies. This woman caught my arm and that time it would have rubbed on me."

Zizi flared. "You-"

Yunru raised his hand. "If that is what happened then why can I see that scratch mark on the back of your palm? She scratched you when she shook her arm off."

Yi Cheng noticed the slight bruise. It was so light that it was hardly visible. Even so, Yunru caught it in a flash.

"T-this...I-I am innocent! She must have scratched me on purpose!"

"Yeah save your excuses for interrogation. Come with me, Yi Cheng. And Mrs. Yi Ming. I am letting you go with a fair warning. The next time you act violent, you will join your husband in jail too."

Yi Ming was utterly embarrassed. "Cheng you...you tried to cheat on me! You bastard!"

Yi Cheng panicked. "No Ming. Trust me. I didn\'t do anything wrong."

Zizi was still in a stupor. He just literally came five minutes back and he already proved Yi Cheng guilty.

Yi Cheng had lost his mind. "You woman! You bitch are framing me!"

He charged ahead to slap Zizi on her face.

At the hospital, Xinyi was anxiously waiting for Siying to wake up. His eyelids slowly fluttered as he opened his eyes.

"Siying…"

She gently held his hand in her arm. Her lips trembled and tears rushed down on seeing her son safe. She properly checked his skin and was relieved to see the redness slowly disappearing.

"Siying, how are you feeling, dear? I-Is it still painful?"

Siying\'s voice choked a little. "No pain. Mama... I was really scared."

His voice was still a little heavy due to the allergic reaction.

Xinyi burst into tears. She sat beside him on the bed and hugged him, bringing him closer to her chest. "En. M-Mama was scared too. But see?"

She raised his hands and showed him. "You are already recovering. All those scary red patches are whoosh, running away! It\'s only because my boy stayed strong the whole time."

"Really?"

Zhiyuan sat on the other side of the bed and combed his fingers through his hair. "That\'s right. You are way stronger than your Dada. Do you know? I was always scared of needles when I was small," he chuckled.

It was a small lie he chose to tell to make his son more confident.

"I would always cry and hide when I got sick to avoid them. Ah, I am a little embarrassed now. Dada is a scaredy-cat but his son is so strong," he coughed.

Xinyi giggled, making Siying laugh too. "Dada, I am not scared of needles!"

She chuckled. "En. Dada should learn from you."

Seeing him forget his fear and laughing again felt as if a huge burden lifted off their chest.

For Zhiyuan, his heart warmed up to see Xinyi smiling again. An hour back, she looked so defeated and in pain that he felt furious about the situation. He hated seeing her crying like that.

At the corner, Shuang quietly saw the trio cheering up.

Zhiyuan walked up to her side, his gaze fixed at her. Shuang could already tell what he wanted to say.

"I think you know what happened and who is responsible for Siying\'s condition," his voice felt detached from all emotions.

Undoubtedly, it was An Meiying. Even outside the ward when all the commotion happened, he noticed how Shuang continuously shot sharp glares at her. How she egged on everybody against Caihong also made him suspicious.

Shuang said, "You can do whatever you want with her. I won\'t interfere."

She clenched her fists.

Inside, her heart was burning in rage that her mother could go to such lengths to frame Caihong. It could have been life-threatening to Siying if his treatment had been delayed.

Harming a small, innocent child…

Zhiyuan coldly said, "My son\'s life was in danger because of her schemes. I will make her face the worst punishment ever. She will regret bringing Siying into all this."

She said nothing.

An Guoting brought An Meiying in an empty room and suddenly lashed out at her. "Why was Siying at the An residence!?"

An Meiying was taken aback seeing his fury. For a moment she wondered if he doubted her, but it turned out to be completely different.

"Xinyi brought him…"

"Why? The cruise trip already ended so why are they still talking to each other!" His nostrils flared and his breathing was uneven.

"Caihong promised to teach Siying English. So-"

"So what? I already told you that I don\'t want anyone in my family to have anything to do with the Han family! Then why was she teaching that boy!"

An Meiying jolted as he suddenly yelled loudly.

"Our relationship with the Han family already broke apart when Caihong and Zhiyuan broke up! Nothing is left now!"

"G-Guoting calm down...What is wrong with you?"

"What is wrong with you! Zhiyuan has his own married life and so does Caihong. We should stay away from each other. I-I mean things are already awkward between us. So we shouldn\'t mingle with them anymore."

"Why are you so against it? We live in the same city. How can we not cross paths?"

An Guoting wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Meiying, I am just saying it for our family. I will talk to Caihong about this. She won\'t teach Siying anymore."

She pursed her lips. "Yes, I mean especially after how she hurt Siying, Zhiyuan, and Xinyi wouldn\'t allow it either. I didn\'t know she could do this…"

He said, "Meiying, you are misunderstanding. Caihong would never purposely harm him. My daughter isn\'t like that."

She stiffened. "Guoting, I understand she is our daughter and you are defensive for her. As her mother, even I want this to be a lie. But we cannot spoil her and hide such serious mistakes...Not only she added the sauce, but she also didn\'t give him his medication either. What else can this say?"

An Guoting couldn\'t retort. He hesitated.

"Whatever it is. I will talk to Zhiyuan and handle this. It was just an accident. I won\'t let him take any action against Caihong!"

An Meiying dug her nails in her palm.

I worked so hard to frame her and he doesn\'t even want to listen against that Caihong! No matter what, Caihong will have to suffer the punishment. I won\'t let my efforts go to waste!
