Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 329 - Interrogation

*Ding dong*

Shuang impatiently waited outside the door. Jack Si, who saw her shifting her weight from one foot to another, shook his head.

"Relax. Is this why you brought me here? So that I can stop you from committing a murder?"

Shuang sneered. "How I wish to strangle He Lijuan myself. That's right. I am not sure if I will let her remain alive after our interrogation. So, I want you to stop me. Also, if she throws a classic heart attack move on me and starts her pathetic white lotus acting, then we have a doctor right here."

"Hey, I should charge you for my services now."

She shrugged.

The door opened and a woman with greyish locks near her ear opened the door. She had quite an unwelcoming expression.

"Yes?"

Shuang smiled. "Hello-"

"I am not interested in any insurance or credit card scheme. You salespeople! Always bothering with your useless chatter."

Her gaze shifted to Jack Si and she opened her mouth in shock. "Are you really a salesman?"

His blond hair and bluish-grey eyes stopped her breath for a moment.

Jack Si smiled. "We are not salespeople. We are here for something else."

He Lijuan looked at him from head to toe and figured he must come from a well-to-do background.

"Please come in," she smiled.

Her gaze narrowed at Shuang. "She is…"

Shuang's expression darkened.

What the fuck is her problem?

Jack Si quickly said before she exploded. "We are friends."

"I see…"

They stepped inside and saw that it was a house of an average build. There were some places that needed repair like the ceiling and walls, but overall it looked decent for a middle-class family.

Just then, a young woman entered and furiously said, "Mom! Where is my eye-liner!? Did you take it again!"

He Lijuan froze. She gritted her teeth in anger.

Stupid daughter! How dare she say that in front of him?

Her daughter, He Mian, stepped in with a nasty expression, but as soon as she caught Jack Si's sight, she froze. Her jaw dropped wide seeing such an attractive man.

Oh my gosh! Am I dreaming? Has some model come into our home!?

Suddenly, she realized her words and bit her tongue in embarrassment.

I must have sounded so crass!

He Mian flashed an apologetic smile. "I am really sorry for that. I don't yell like that, but I have been in a bad mood since morning."

He Lijuan nervously laughed. "Yes, yes. Don't mind her."

Shuang grimaced.

They are already thinking of setting up this ugly bitch with him.

She sneered.

Guess this woman hasn't changed a bit after all these years. Still trying to latch on rich men.

Jack Si coughed. "It's alright. We don't mind."

He Mian eagerly came to his side. "What should I bring for you?" She bashfully smiled. "Should I make some coffee for you?"

She was completely ignoring Shuang.

Shuang said, "We don't have time for tea or coffee," she snapped.

He Lijuan and He Mian jolted. They finally noticed her presence.

He Mian frowned. "Who are you?"

Shuang sneered again. "Quite some differential treatment I see here. He and I came together, but I was completely ignored."

They stiffened.

He Lijuan quickly said, "Of course not. You are our guests."

What if she is his relative? We cannot get in her bad book. This man is really handsome and seems rich. If Mian marries him, our life is set!

Shuang rolled her eyes. "Stop with your pathetic acting. I came to talk to He Lijuan."

He Lijuan pursed her lips. "How can you call my name like that? I am your elder."

"Oh really? Considering how you ruined my Dad's life, I should be slapping you instead. Be grateful that I am just being disrespectful instead of violent."

Jack Si coughed.

He Lijuan was stunned.

"Excuse me? Who are you talking about?"

Shuang took a threatening step towards her. He Mian quickly said, "Hey, what are you doing!?"

"Get the fuck away or I will slap you hard," Shuang narrowed her eyes.

He Mian instinctively stepped back in fear. Shaung seemed like a dangerous woman.

He Lijuan stammered. "T-this is a crime. How can you talk like this to me? Get out of here or I will call the police!"

"I am not interested in breathing the same air as you either, but I need answers, bitch."

She gasped. "So disrespectful!"

"Like I said, be grateful that I am not being violent yet. So before my fuse short-circuits, start talking."

"I don't even know who your father is!"

Shuang stared at her. "An Guoting."

He Lijuan blinked her eyes.

"Remember that name? Remember that man?"

Her eyes slowly widened as realization dawned on her. The memories came flashing by, and she stiffened hard.

That was a name she hadn't heard in a long time.

"Guess you remember."

He Lijuan nervously said, "I don't. Have we ever met?"

*SLAP*

Her head tilted to the side as Shuang mercilessly hit her cheek. Even Jack Si was dumbfounded.

"Shuang."

"Don't stop me, Jack," she warned. He sighed.

He Mian covered her mouth while her mother had tears in her eyes. "H-How dare you! How could you slap me?"

"Because you are wasting my time with your nonsense," Shuang furiously spat. "You don't remember the man who you fooled and pretended to sleep with to break his relationship with his girlfriend, Han Zongying?"

He Lijuan froze. The color drained from her face, and she paled. Sweat formed on her forehead.

"W-What are you talking-"

*SLAP*

Shuang warned. "I told you. No nonsense. I want to hear it from you. Years back, you and Dad never slept together, right? It was all staged by you because you wanted to covet him for his money."

He Lijuan's cheek was burning with pain at that point. He Mian cried hard and tried to run away, but Shuang grabbed her by her hair and pulled her back. "One step out or even a word and I will decorate your face like your bitch Mom here. Want me to do it?"

She furiously shook her head in fear.

Shuang's focus fell back on He Lijuan. "So come on.. Start talking or I will land a third slap on your face right now."
