Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 495 A perfect ending, isn't it?

"Come with me, Xinyi. I will definitely make you happier than Zhiyuan!" Liao Yuan exclaimed in impatience.

To his surprise, Keung came in between and separated him from her. "Oh shut up! You are delusional if you think you can have sister-in-law after all this! Fuck off!"

Liao Yuan took a sharp and threw murderous gaze at him. "Stay out of this, Keung! Don't forget that you became the CEO and got to sit on Zhiyuan's chair all because of me! Would you have ever earned a chance to lead the company if not for me? Now that the Han family has acknowledged you, you are changing your colors? Remember, that old geezer Han Huizhong would have never allowed you to have that seat no matter how much you had begged!"

That struck a chord in Keung's heart. Indeed after the crisis he left after his embezzlement, Han Huizhong wouldn't have even looked at his face. He wouldn't have thought twice before rejecting him. The only way to prove himself was unethically snatching the CEO's position from Zhiyuan.

Xinyi smiled. "You clearly don't know anything about our family, Yuan. Grandpa and Zhiyuan would have still given him a chance if he had sincerely asked for it. They wouldn't have made him the CEO directly. But they would have tested his capabilities first. Zhiyuan did the same before becoming a CEO himself."

At this point, she looked at Keung and said, "They would have given you a lower position to start. It would have annoyed you for sure, but if you were serious about managing the company, you would have done your best in any position. If you sincerely worked hard and performed well, Grandpa wouldn't have hesitated at all to make you the CEO. Neither would Zhiyuan. Nobody was your enemy, Keung. But at the same time, becoming the CEO and handling a multinational company is a demanding job. Thousands of employees' jobs and livelihood will be your responsibility. It's inevitable to be tested and prove your worth."

Keung said nothing. But inwardly, he agreed with her.

Liao Yuan laughed. "Oh now you are playing family-family? Suddenly, she is your sister-in-law now who you loathed at one time for becoming the standing CEO instead of you?"

He gritted his teeth. "Shut up!"

"What? The truth hurts? How did she even make you get to her side?"

The air became slightly chilly as a voice came, "Didn't Xinyi tell you that we already knew about you?"

Liao Yuan narrowed his eyes. He turned and saw Zhiyuan suddenly facing him, his gaze so cold and unforgivable as if it was covered with a layer of ice. Before Zhiyuan said anything further, he dropped a punch on his face, much to his shock.

His ears rang for a few moments, feeling dizzy. There was a deep cut on his upper lip, and a reddish bruise mark was forming on his cheek.

"Zhiyuan!"

Zhiyuan took a dangerous step forward and responded in a deathly quiet voice, "Don't raise your voice, you fucker. I didn't punch you for trying to kill me. This was for selfishly putting my son in danger and for today where you bribed a mob to throw that rock at Xinyi. It doesn't matter if you stopped it. What matters is you THOUGHT of hurting my wife and unborn daughter."

"You-"

Zhiyuan threw a kick at his stomach, making him curl in pain. "This is for grabbing my wife's arm just now. Why did you think that you could touch her with your filthy hands?"

Enraged, Liao Yuan balled his own fist to punch Zhiyuan's face. But anger made his attack too predictable. Zhiyuan dodged it and jabbed another kick at his knee, making him sharply gasp.

"This is for telling Xinyi to leave me and come with you. It is for snapping you out of your delusion. As for how I came to know about you…did you really think I wouldn't ever come to find your involvement? After the third attack and when Xinyi told me about Keung taking all the shares, I already began to investigate the shareholders. Yunru and I took one of them in confidence," he smiled, "You don't need to know how. But eventually he ratted out who was supporting Keung. I was right in my assumptions."

Liao Yuan squinted his gaze. "Right?"

Zhiyuan sneered. "I never liked you from the beginning, Liao Yuan. It's not because of the rivalry between our families but how you shamelessly kept clinging onto someone's wife. You claimed you were just a friend to her. But your eyes always said otherwise. You looked like you wouldn't let go of a chance if you ever found Xinyi vulnerable. After three attacks on me, it felt way too personal for somebody to keep targeting me like this.

Even at the conference in Grandiose, you actually wanted the light equipment to fall on me. But you misunderstood that I was giving the presentation. It was Xinyi, and by the time you realized it, you couldn't stop Mrs. An. I reached Xinyi first anyway, but I did see you getting up from your seat a second earlier than me. You already knew. At that time, I dismissed it as a coincidence, but after the third attack, I didn't."

He curled his fingers into a fist. "The second attack proved it even further. You didn't care if Siying was with me in the car. In fact, I am pretty sure you planned it that way. You wanted to eliminate the husband and son in one go so that Xinyi wouldn't have any attachments left from her marriage. Of course, you wanted our son out of the picture too. And you also thought it would be easier to approach her when she would be the most vulnerable. You are truly disgusting, Liao Yuan."

Zhiyuan sneered. "What crap were you talking about loving Xinyi and taking care of her child? Are you sure you meant that or had you already planned to make my unborn daughter mysteriously disappear one day? Then it would be only you in her life, right? No Zhiyuan and no children from him either. A perfect ending for you, isn't it?"
