Chapter 198 - The Reunion Arc : Xiaosi's Outrage
As if Caihong lost all her strength, she staggered in her step and was about to collapse when Xiaosi caught her. His hand wrapped around her waist, protecting her. She stiffened before she harshly shook him off.
"Please...not anymore…" the tears gushed out of her eyes and she trembled hard. His admittance struck her heart as if somebody stabbed it into pieces.
The feeling that something was changing between them vanished into thin air. After so long, she was beginning to like the life that she spent with him. It was really fragile and the faint sense of attachment had just begun to tie them together before it snapped into two.
"Why…" she glared at him, her gaze filled with accusations. "Why did you do this?" Her soft sniffles filled the room.
Xiaosi stared at her small face that was stained with tears and felt his heart clench in pain.
"You know what?" She self-deprecatingly laughed. "I... defended you. When Zhiyuan accused you of kidnapping Xinyi, I stood against him to defend you! I fought with him. I told him that you could never do this. But I forgot that...you already did it once before. And now again...what do you want Xiaosi! What did you want with Xinyi this time!?"
They heard somebody's rapid steps coming and at the door, Yunru, Zizi and Shuang came rushing in. They were aghast to witness the scene.
Zizi stammered. "W-what happened here? Qi Xia said that Xinyi disappeared…"
Her sight went onto Han Huizhong and she widened her eyes. "Grandpa!"
She ran towards him and cried. "Grandpa what happened! Y-you look so pale…"
Han Huizhong was having difficulty talking. But now that Zhiyuan was already here, he felt a bit better knowing that Xinyi was safe.
Yunru stared at Xiaosi and Caihong who were crying hard. He saw Han Huizhong's condition and felt his mind go blank.
Sis...
He stomped over to his side and grabbed him. "What did you do to my sister! Where is sis? Tell me you bastard!"
With alarm ringing in her mind like a siren, she looked around and then lifted her gaze to meet Xiaosi's. The horror was evident in her expression. She exactly understood in a second what Xiaosi had planned because she knew the truth of that night too.
"Xiaosi…tell me that what I am thinking is wrong."
Xiaosi stared at her with a faint smile which was enough to give her answer. Her lips parted in shock. "Xiaosi you! Why did you involve Xinyi in all this! This is crazy!"
"Why do you think that I am wrong, Shuang? If…" he shot a murderous gaze at Han Huizhong, "he can do this then so can I."
At that time, Zhiyuan stepped out of the other room, gently supporting Xinyi. Liang and Ah Cy followed them
"Sis!" With large strides, Yunru walked up to her and checked on her from head to toe. "What happened to her!?"
Liang said, "She was unconscious. But she is okay now."
"U-unconscious?" He felt his heart jump into his chest.
Xinyi weakly smiled. "Yunru, I am okay now…"
"You are not okay!" Zhiyuan exclaimed. "Just look at how pale you look. First, you sit and don't talk. Just rest."
Her sight fell upon Xiaosi and she froze.
Yunru asked, "How did you get unconscious? Who is the one behind this?" His gaze turned icy and as he saw Xinyi throwing uneasy glances at Xiaosi, he was sure of his answer.
"You…I don't know what the fuck is wrong in your head, but now that you dared to harm my sister, I am not going to let this go. You have messed up with the wrong person and I will show you what life in a jail truly is, Zhu Xiaosi."
Zhiyuan angrily laughed. "Jail is not enough for this bastard, Yunru. I-"
"That man…" Han Huizhong breathlessly spoke, "That man...what happened to him?"
"What man, Grandpa?"
Liang shook his head. "Grandpa, there was nobody inside."
Caihong and he widened their eyes as if thunder struck them. Han Huizhong blankly stared at him. "W-what do you mean by that? There was no man?"
Zhiyuan felt odd. "What are you two talking about?"
Liang said, "Grandpa said to be alert of a man inside his room that Xiaosi had set up to…" he hesitated, "to ruin Xinyi."
What Zhiyuan felt at that moment was beyond any words. To hear that Xiaosi had set up a man to…
The temperature of the room rapidly plummeted as if hell froze over. Anger was an understatement. As the others heard this horrifying truth too, they got dumbfounded.
"But there was nobody inside as opposed to what Grandpa said."
Han Huizhong shook and his hands trembled as he pointed his finger at Xiaosi. "You...you lied to me…But then...what was that voice I heard? I heard a man's voice…" he coughed, "l-laughing in a disgusting way."
Xiaosi shook off Yunru's hand. He looked at everyone and his gaze finally settled at Caihong. "What did you think, Grandpa? Did you really think that I would stoop that low to ruin Xinyi's dignity just as you did seven years back to Caihong!!"
Silence.
Enraged, Xiaosi walked up to Han Huizhong and grabbed his neck as he pressed his fingers, strangling him. "Do you think that everybody is disgusting as you!?"
Han Huizhong's eyes widened and he sharply gasped, feeling pain in his throat.
"Grandpa!" Xinyi and Zizi shrieked in horror.
Caihong took a step, startled as she covered her mouth.
"Xiaosi!" Zhiyuan grabbed his hand and tried to shake it off. "Xiaosi, what the hell are you doing?"
"Stop it, Xiaosi!" Yunru and Liang forced him back. "You will kill him!"
"Yes, I will kill him! I won't stop! Tonight I won't stop until I kill this man! He is the one who ruined everything for Caihong! He is the one who destroyed her. Her life, her happiness, her love, her dignity. Everything damn thing! He is the one who fucked up all!"
