Because I Cannot Hurt You

"To sit on a CEO\'s chair, you went as far as trying to kill your own brother. Do you have any shame left!?"

Han Keung casually sat back on the chair, making Xinyi fume in anger even more. "Come on, sister-in-law. Did I have any choice? If I wanted a shot at this, it was important for my dear cousin to step out of the picture. As long as the CEO is disabled, my work is half done. It gets so easy when this seat is empty. So, I had to take him down. I must say, he is so stubborn. Even two attacks couldn\'t kill him," he sighed.

Xinyi banged her palm on the desk. "You...Even if Zhiyuan isn\'t here, there is no way that any board of directors or my family would hand over their shares to you! It\'s impossible!"

"But you have the evidence right in front of you~ Sister-in-law, of course, I didn\'t get these shares simply by asking them. The shares are so precious. Who would hand it over just like that? One should simply understand the pressing nerve of each person," he chuckled, "What are the two things that mainly drive people to work in your favor?"

Xinyi narrowed her eyes.

"Greed and fear. Some people succumb to greed while some fear," he smiled.

She got the gist. The board of directors might have given in to him if he must have offered some lucrative offer. As for fear...Han Tian, Xia Liqin and Zizi were not the ones to fall into greed. They had no reason to. So, she was pretty sure that he must have threatened them with something.

She spoke through a clenched jaw. "What did you do?"

"Well having such a loving family who care for each other so much is advantageous indeed. It really shocked me. I didn\'t expect that Uncle Tian and Aunt Liqin still have feelings even after their divorce. For Aunt life\'s sake, Uncle so easily signed the papers. He didn\'t even bat his eyelid. For Uncle\'s sake, Aunt did the same. And for both of their life\'s sake, my dear cousin Zizi signed the papers too. Ah, so touching. Though, I didn\'t like the part where she cried. She looked so ugly."

No words were enough to describe the shock that zapped Xinyi.

"You have really lost it! You threatened to kill them too!?"

He laughed. "If I didn\'t feel a thing for my cousin Zhiyuan, why would I for the rest of the family? They didn\'t do anything either when my family was getting outcast. They deserve to suffer too. The shares of the board of directors weren\'t enough to get me here. So, I had to take away the shares from them too. The shares that belonged to Mom, Dad and me which Grandpa snatched away from us."

He sneered. "That old man is a tough nut to crack. I hate him so much. Even when cousin Zhiyuan was unable to lead the company because of his pathetic depression, Grandpa chose you - an outsider to become the standing CEO! Why? Wasn\'t it so obvious to give that position to me!? But no. Rather than making me the CEO, he chose you. Can you imagine my anger, dear sister-in-law? Mom and Dad felt so humiliated. His nephew and grand-nephew were still alive, yet we didn\'t even cross his mind."

"If you knew how to properly run a company instead of wasting our hard earned money in unprofitable investments, then Grandpa would have surely depended on you! But Uncle Mingli only incurred losses, and you embezzled money! Why would anybody hand over the reins to you?"

Han Keung yawned. "Indeed. Living with that old man has turned you into just like him. You all know how to lecture others so nicely. You should get an award."

Xinyi gritted her teeth. "Where are Mom, Dad and Zizi? I swear, if you hurt them, I won\'t spare you!"

"You cannot do anything, sister-in-law. But still to answer your question. I sent them back safe and sound. I cared about their signatures, which was pretty easy to get. Plus…" his lips curled into a sinister smile, "I don\'t want to kill them so soon. I have suffered for so many years. So, I would take my time to enjoy torturing them."

Xinyi angrily laughed. "And the one helping you in all this...is Mrs. An, right?"

"Oh, you know about her. That makes things easier for me. Yes. She was extremely useful in getting my work done. And why won\'t she help me? Firstly, she is my Aunt. Isn\'t Uncle Guoting my Mom\'s brother? So, we are family. And then…" he tilted his head, "She has a good reason to go against the Han family. After all, didn\'t Grandpa do such an atrocious thing with my cousin Caihong seven years back? How could a mother bear such a thing?"

Xinyi widened her eyes. "She...she remembers everything? But when I asked her questions, she refused to admit it!"

"Sister-in-law, she just doesn\'t want to get into any trouble~ Truthfully, she didn\'t want to be involved with her family after so many years but after knowing what happened with Caihong…"

He sneered. "Sister-in-law, You gave such a good lecture about my bad deeds, but what about what Grandpa did?"

She stiffened.

"Such hypocrisy. You all threw us out because we hurt Siying and \'damaged\' Han Corps\' reputation.. But did Grandpa do anything less severe? He plotted to ruin my cousin\'s dignity, but he still lives in the Han villa while we were kicked out. He is the culprit, yet nobody loathes him as much as they loathe us! What sort of justice is this!? Why is my family hated but not Grandpa who fucking planned his man to assault Caihong? Why is he living a carefree life while we suffer? Do you have any answer to this, sister-in-law?"
