Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 26: Impossible anyway

"Grandpa!"

Yunru shrugged. "Well, you got your answer so head back, ignorant princess."

Xinyi helplessly said, "Yunru, stop it. Grandpa, please let it be. Please don\'t go this far."

Han Huizhong snorted. "Did I ask for your opinion?"

She gave up and looked at Zhiyuan for help. He was quiet for a few moments.

He faced Zizi. "Zizi, if you apologize to Xinyi, then we won\'t have to walk away. It\'s your choice. Either apologize or this time, I cannot help you."

Zizi trembled.

"Bro...even you…for this woman, you are ready to abandon your sister in jail?"

"We are giving you a choice, Zizi. Xinyi doesn\'t deserve the words that you said about her. And…" he narrowed her eyes, "somewhere in your heart even you know that she is not like that."

Zizi gritted her teeth. "No, bro. I thought that I knew her. But I was wrong. She used me to get near you."

Yunru yawned. "So, are you apologizing or not? You are wasting time here."

She glared at him.

Xinyi thought for a moment.

"Yunru. She defamed me so technically, it should be me that should file the complaint against her, right? Or in other words, it should be my decision."

He tapped his finger on the desk and stared at her with an unreadable expression.

Of course, he knew the drill.

"So, I don\'t want to file any complaint against Zizi. Please release her. Even if you have lodged one, I withdraw it."

Han Huizhong sneered but said nothing.

Zizi clenched her fists.

Like hell I want your help!

But she also couldn\'t bear to stay in jail. Even four hours were torture to her. And this time, Zhiyuan refused to help her too.

Either she had to apologize or she had to take her help. Both were a huge strike to her ego.

Yunru smirked. "Well, that is just one part, sis. What about her other two felonies? Attacking a cop and obstruction in justice?"

Xinyi couldn\'t retort to that. "That…"

Han Huizhong said, "Well, so I guess she still stays in jail."

And he was about to leave.

"No!"

"Bro…" she sobbed as she begged him.

Zhiyuan shook his head. "You should understand Yunru\'s side too. Just Like I cannot hear any baseless accusations against you, Yunru is a brother too. I would have done the same thing as he is doing if anybody had defamed you like that."

Han Huizhong raised his brow. "You don\'t have to waste your time defending Xinyi, my foolish grandson. Mind your own business."

Zhiyuan said, "Xinyi is my wife. I will defend her if I see she is baselessly tolerating things."

"Oh really? I have my doubts. Sometimes, I don\'t understand if you really think of her as your wife or someone else…?"

Zhiyuan froze. "Grandpa!"

Yunru glanced at Xinyi and she seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Heh! Whatever. I don\'t want to waste any more time here," he looked at Yunru, "Such a loss. I would have been so thrilled to have you as my grandson-in-law."

Zizi rejoiced.

Oh, thank God!

"But what can I say? Zizi doesn\'t deserve you just like Zhiyuan doesn\'t deserve Xinyi either."

Zizi widened her eyes.

I-I don\'t deserve Yunru? Bro doesn\'t deserve Xinyi? What the hell!

How can a grandfather be this against his own grandchildren!

Zhiyuan didn\'t comment. He didn\'t want to raise any scene here.

Xinyi had it. "Grandpa please...stop it."

She was tired of him constantly insulting Zhiyuan.

Han Huizhong simply ignored her.

Yunru chuckled. "Well, it was impossible anyway. Zizi and me. I already have a girlfriend."

"What!"

Zizi looked at him, stunned.

Even Xinyi jerked her head towards him. She didn\'t know about that.

"Why are you shocked, spoiled princess? Can I not have a girlfriend?"

Zizi inwardly sneered.

A lowly cop like him can only have a poor and lowly girlfriend too.

Han Huizhong was amused. "Hooo. Is that so?"

"Yup. But I haven\'t told Dad about it, so he insisted me to meet your wonderful granddaughter," He said sarcastically.

Zizi glared at him.

Yunru snorted. "So, I only came to meet her only to reject this proposal anyway. But before that, your wonderful granddaughter already committed three crimes. I didn\'t get a chance."

Han Huizhong chuckled. "I see. Such a waste. May I know who that lady is?"

Yunru smiled. "You will come to know one day."

"Heh. Trying to be mysterious huh?"

He shrugged.

Zizi clenched her fists.

The nerve of him...He came to reject me? ME? I was supposed to reject him, not otherwise! Who does he think he is?

Zhiyuan said, "Congratulations."

Yunru scratched his chin. "Well...save that for later."

He raised his brow but said nothing. "Alright."

Zizi stomped her foot. "Can I leave now?"

Yunru sneered at her. "I didn\'t hear your apology."

"Zizi," Zhiyuan warned.

She bit her lip and frustratedly said, "I am sorry!"

Second time...this is the second time I was made to apologize to you, Xinyi! I swear I will make you pay for this!

Her heart was engulfed in hatred.

Yunru asked, "What about an apology to me? Raising your hand against the cop."

"Don\'t cross your limits Soo Yunru!"

The officer nodded.

"Hey! No! Wait! Let me go!"

Yunru chuckled. "I am all ears."

Zizi wished to strangle him right now! She gritted her teeth.

"I am sorry…"

"Heh. That\'s better. Leave now. And better treat my sister nicely or next time, I will make you kneel and apologize."

She tremblingly pointed her finger at him. "You-you…"

"Yunru, stop!" Xinyi glared at him.

Han Huizhong said, "Oh that would be such a spicy drama. I like it."

Zhiyuan shook his head. "Let\'s go. And Zizi, I hope you don\'t repeat it again."

Zizi\'s eyes teared up.

Just you wait Xinyi! I will never forget this humiliation!

As she left, Xinyi said, "I will come in two minutes."

Zhiyuan nodded. "We will wait for you in the car."

Xinyi smiled.

She faced Yunru. "Yunru you…"

"Sis, I don\'t understand why you tolerate her."
