Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 293 - Say Sorry!



Chapter 293 - Say Sorry!

Lei Biya stood frozen. Her mind went numb after hearing the incredible truth. She stared at Xiaosi in disbelief.

C-CEO of S3 Company? He is the CEO?

She recalled Lei Shing talking about meeting the CEO of S3. She didn't understand business matters that much, but by the way her son sang Xiaosi's praises, she came to know that S3 was an extremely prestigious company and the only one capable of saving Lei Exports from any more damage from their enemy.

Shing went to him for the c-contract?

Her face went through numerous changes in expressions from shock to utter confusion.

That means the one we are depending on now is... Xiaosi?

She never thought that Xiaosi would grow up to become a CEO one day. Somehow, she always imagined that that bastard's son would be just scraping by for his livelihood as his father had. That person who destroyed her life was a good-for-nothing man who only drank alcohol the whole day and stayed useless at his small house. He even used to selfishly take all the money that she would earn by working hard at her job.

And now Xiaosi, that same man's son was a CEO!?

Caihong asked, "Are you satisfied now? Apologies for talking like that to an elder but you are overestimating yourself way too much. His world doesn't revolve around you anymore ever since you dropped him in the orphanage."

She froze.

Ah Cy frowned. "This is the Annual Business Summit. Xiaosi has every right to be here. Stop associating everything to you."

Lei Biya stammered. "H-How…you…"

Liang snorted. "Why are you so surprised? Do you think that he doesn't deserve to live a good life? Did you imagine that you married a businessman and are living your life comfortably, but Xiaosi would be endlessly suffering? Birth doesn't determine anything, Mrs. Lei. How selfish of you to assume that he would be useless just as that man was."

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

He sneered. "Heh. I can see how disappointed you are. You never expected that Xiaosi would soar so high, right? Or maybe you always felt satisfied that he must be struggling with his life while you finally achieved a good life with your husband. You wanted him to suffer, right? Because you hate him."

"I-I never thought that!" Lei Biya was so ashamed that she couldn't even meet their eyes anymore.

Now it looked as if she was pestering Xiaosi, who was a reputable CEO.

Caihong took a step forward. "You should be really careful, Mrs. Lei. Xiaosi surely accepted to help your husband's company. He didn't want to, but his heart softened much to my distaste."

Xiaosi awkwardly coughed. He knew how Caihong didn't like that he agreed to help Lei Shing.

Lei Biya stuttered. "W-what do you mean?"

"Mom!"

Lei Shing and a man in his fifties, walked towards her. On his other side was Lei Shu. Lei Deming, Lei Biya's husband, recognized Xiaosi and brightly greeted him.

"Mr. Zhu. It's so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for agreeing to Shing's proposal," he gratefully thanked him.

Xiaosi faintly smiled. "No problem."

Lei Biya stood rooted on her spot.

So it's true…

Xiaosi is really helping our business…

Lei Shing smiled. "I knew I would meet you here. Mom, Shu. Let me introduce you. He is Zhu Xiaosi, CEO of S3, who is helping with his security services."

Lei Biya bit her lip hard. Lei Shu glanced at her mother and got anxious. She remembered how she had made a scene in the mall and even slapped Xiaosi.

And now he was the same man helping them in their crisis.

It wouldn't be surprising if he backed off now from this deal. Who would work with someone whose family member slapped you in public?

She politely greeted him. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhu."

She was worried if he would bring that incident up.

Xiaosi smiled back. "Nice to meet you too."

Lei Deming said, "Once again, thank you very much, Mr. Zhu. It has been a hard time for us, but once we get the security in place and expose our rival, we can finally rest assured."

He looked at his wife and said, "Biya. Now, we don't have to worry at all. Zhu Xiaosi is a really capable man. Remember all those achievements that I showed you of S3, right? It's only because of this man. He is extremely talented and a genius in technology."

Hearing her husband praise Xiaosi, who she ill-treated and abandoned in the past and now accused him of stalking her, made her extremely uncomfortable.

Here she wanted to break all contact with him, but she never imagined that her husband and son approached Xiaosi themselves! It was like a slap to her face who thought that Xiaosi was following her.

Zhiyuan and Liang had an urge to expose her face in front of her family, but they somehow restrained themselves.

Even Ah Cy was about to revolt, but Xinyi quietly pulled her back. "Forget it," she whispered, "I think she will finally withdraw after this."

Caihong smiled as she faced Lei Deming. "Indeed. Xiaosi is a talented man, and you have no idea how many people are seeking to work under him. Alone and without any family support, he built the whole company by himself by the time he was just twenty-four. He is a source of inspiration for all the young budding talents here. Any mother would be so proud of having a son like him. Am I not right, Mrs. Lei?"

She froze and felt her face burn in embarrassment.

It was a direct slap to her face.

Even Caihong had an urge to expose her just like Ah Cy, but this face-slap was enough for her. After tonight, Lei Biya wouldn't dare to humiliate Xiaosi anymore.

But a certain small dumpling who was observing the conversation didn't like the way things were going. She only wanted one thing to happen, but it didn't.

Chyou stomped her foot in frustration and pointed her finger at Lei Biya. "You not say sorry to Dada! You were mean to my Dada and fought with him.. You are bad. Say sorry to Dada!"
