Chapter 69 - Stop The Hatred

At Han villa, Zhiyuan helped Xinyi into the home as he firmly held her hand. He was carefully helping her at every step as if she would trip and fall any moment.

Xinyi coughed and said, "Zhiyuan, I can walk. You are worried too much."

Zhiyuan shook his head. "Nope. Until you fully heal, I won't let you out of my sight. I will take care of you."

Her cheeks turned slightly pink.

"Mama!"

"Aunty!"

Siying and Leina dashed towards her in full speed akin to a bullet train. His eyes watered as he saw the bandage on her head.

"Mama...you are hurt!"

Leina clutched her leg. "Aunty. How do you get hurt? It must pain a lot…"

Xinyi's heart was overwhelmed. She bent and hugged the kids, wiping their tears. "I am totally fine! It doesn't hurt a bit," she pouted, "These doctors always go overboard with the bandaging part."

"Really?"

"En!"

Zhiyuan smiled. His heart eased up to see her smiling again.

"By the way, there is someone else with us too. She will stay with us for a few days."

Xinyi giggled and looked behind. "Come here, dear."

Chyou nervously hopped onto Xinyi's side.

Siying brightened. "Chyou!"

Xinyi smiled. "Yes. Chyou will be living with us for a few days so Siying, I want you to be nice to her."

He furiously nodded. "Yay! Chyou will be here! We will play lots! I will show you all my cool games!"

Chyou's gaze sparkled. "Really?"

"En. We will play together. I will teach you!"

Leina looked at Xinyi with a strained expression. "But Aunty. She-she had hurt Siying...Hmph. I don't like her."

Chyou froze. She lowered her head and had an urge to cry. She hid behind Xinyi.

Siying said, "Leina. I told you she said sorry to me. We are friends now! So you be friends with her too!"

"Hmph! I won't!" She looked away.

Zhiyuan sighed.

She was just like Liang. If anybody carelessly hurt his friends, he would refuse to speak to that person even if they apologized. It was hard to convince, once they are pissed off.

Xinyi squished her cheeks. "It's alright. You can take your time. But try to give her a chance, okay?"

Leina pursed her lips.

"Please?" Xinyi urged.

"If Aunty says so..."

She ruffled her hair. "Good girl."

Zhiyuan said, "You need to rest now."

"I am fine-"

His stern gaze took back her words and she gulped. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

She asked, "Zhiyuan, where is Grandpa?"

He was quiet. "He was in the hospital and then returned home after some time."

Zhiyuan understood that Han Huizhong might have felt guilty for Xinyi's condition, but he was still disappointed in him that he didn't meet her. He had seen Xinyi glancing many times towards the door, and he was sure that she was waiting for him.

Xinyi said, "I want to meet him first."

Zhiyuan hesitated but then agreed in the end. "Alright. But you will straightaway hit bed once you are done."

"Yes, yes!"

Zhiyuan smiled at Chyou. "Come with me. You will stay with Siying and us in our room. I will show you."

"I will sleep with Aunty Xinyi?" She eagerly asked. In Zhu villa, she always slept besides Xiaosi.

Xinyi's gaze softened. "En."

Outside Han Huizhong's room, Xinyi softly knocked on the door.

A cold voice came from inside. "Get out. I don't want to meet anybody."

"Grandpa. It's me."

Silence.

"Anybody also includes you."

Xinyi pursed her lips. "I was waiting for you in the hospital too. But you didn't come to meet me."

No answer.

"And now you are not letting me meet you either. This is not fair. I have brought your favorite tea."

"Leave the tray outside."

"..."

So he wants to drink the tea but not meet me.

"Zhiyuan said that he wants me to rest as soon as possible because I am still weak. But I don't want to rest until we talk."

She heard rapid footsteps stomping towards the door. It opened and Han Huizhong looked in a really bad mood.

He stiffened for a moment seeing her head wrapped in a bandage.

"I said I don't want to talk to anybody! Don't you understand human language?"

"Grandpa, you don't have to blame yourself for what happened."

He sneered. "Of course I don't blame myself. Why would I? It's you who are foolish."

"Then why aren't you talking to me? Why didn't you meet me in hospital and scold me for being foolish?"

Han Huizhong clenched the stick in his hand.

She smiled and brought the tray forward. "Tea?"

He irritatedly took away the tray from her and stormed inside.

"It was just a minor wound. What are the doctors thinking, wrapping you up like a teddy bear? I...I hadn't hit it that hard!" His tone was defensive.

Xinyi nodded. "Indeed. I said the same things to the kids outside. The doctors went overboard."

"Shut up! Who told you to come in between us?"

She said, "Grandpa, what happened on the cruise wasn't Zhiyuan's fault. If it is his fault then you should blame me too for being careless and getting sick. Nobody knew that Xiaosi had laid a trap."

He stomped his stick hard. "Did he talk to that Caihong or not?"

Xinyi couldn't respond.

"That means he did. This is more than enough of a reason for me to beat him even after my warning to him."

She said, "Grandpa, it's not wrong wanting to know what had happened. It's not just about Caihong. Xiaosi is equally important to Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan, Liang, Ah Cy, Xiaosi, and Caihong were a tight-knit family. They were closest friends to each other and two of them left him without saying anything. They are not any strangers that we shouldn't care about. Neither Zhiyuan nor I want this hatred to go on forever. Xiaosi won't stop until he destroys us. But why does he want that? Shouldn't we try to find it and understand him?"
