Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 294 - Gulping The Hatred



Chapter 294 - Gulping The Hatred

Lei Biya widened her eyes. "W-what?"

Lei Deming and Lei Shing seemed confused. The cute, little angel had suddenly puffed up her cheeks and was demanding an apology.

Chyou looked at her, displeased and feeling downhearted. "You said mean things to my Dada! You hurt my Dada! It's wrong to fight. So you have to say sorry to Dada!"

She stood fierce and unyielding as if she won't let this matter go until she was satisfied.

Lei Deming was taken aback. "Umm Biya...what is this little girl saying? You fought with Zhu Xiaosi?"

Lei Shing anxiously asked, "Yes, Mom. Please explain."

To him, Xiaosi was a truly nice and capable man. He didn't want anybody from his family member to offend him, especially when he was their last ray of hope of saving their business.

Lei Shu shook her head.

Gosh, Mom got in a fight once again? Just what is wrong with her? Why does she hate him so much?

Lei Biya was stumped.

How could she say the reason behind their argument? Wouldn't that expose everything about her past?

Xiaosi held her shoulder. "Chyou. Let it be."

"No! She made Dada sad! I don't like to see Dada sad!"

Xiaosi softly smiled.

Zhiyuan and Liang nodded. "Little Chyou is right, Xiaosi! You don't have to be so merciful towards her."

Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. "Indeed. Plus, this the second time that she is pestering you like this. The last time she had caused a commotion made you hospitalize. Did you forget how serious your condition had become?"

"What!?" Lei Deming looked at his wife in disbelief. "I-Is this true?"

"Of course, Mr. Lei," Caihong smiled. "His doctor is also present here in this Summit if you would like to meet him. He will personally tell you how horrible it was. Xiaosi is already going through a tough phase regarding his health and she just had to agitate him and make his condition worse. That's why I am not satisfied that Xiaosi agreed to this deal with you. I made myself clear that if she humiliated him any further, I would force him to cancel this deal. There is a limit to how much we will bear and this time, she even humiliated my daughter. So technically since this is the second time, Xiaosi should be canceling this deal…"

Lei Shing asked, "Mom, what is happening? You met him before and fought with him? And he was even hospitalized? I don't understand. Why would you do this?"

Lei Shu nodded. "I don't know either. I was there with Mom last time when this happened and she was strangely very furious to know that Zhu Xiaosi and I had met before in the past when I was studying abroad."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Lei Biya trembled, and she didn't know how to clarify it. She felt completely blank in her mind.

"T-that…"

Lei Deming said, "Biya, how could you do that? How could you insult Zhu Xiaosi and his family? He is the one helping us right now. We should be grateful to him and here you are…"

"I-I really didn't know that he was helping us!" She burst into tears. "I didn't know that Shing was talking about him. So-so…"

"But why would you behave like that in the first place? This isn't like you, Biya. You are always so calm and collected, and you never speak ill of anybody. Do you know him from somewhere?"

She stiffened. "I...I…"

Caihong narrowed her eyes. "Indeed, she had been very unreasonable. But like Chyou, I also want her to apologize to Xiaosi. You can ask your questions later."

Lei Deming quickly said, "Of course, of course. I don't know what happened, but Biya is at fault here. To think that we troubled you so much…"

Lei Biya was heartbroken to see her husband so dejected and worried in front of Xiaosi.

Lei Deming clenched his fists. Her hesitation was enough for him to know that she had been indeed wrong. It was hard to believe that she would act this way, but she didn't seem to want to say it. But no matter what, she was his wife. He cherished her. He couldn't see her bow in front of anybody, feeling ashamed.

"I am truly sorry, Mr. Zhu Xiaosi," he bowed. "You have been troubled because of us. Please forgive my wife. I think there is a misunderstanding, and I sincerely apologize. If…" his gaze dimmed, "If you want to cancel the deal with us, I won't blame you. You have every right to end it."

"De-Deming…"

Even though Xiaosi was the last hope, he was still ready to let go of him.

She bit her lip hard.

She wiped her eyes and bowed. "I am sorry. I apologize for humiliating you."

"Biya…"

She shook her head and smiled at him. "I-It's my fault. So, I will take responsibility."

Even though she was heavily dissatisfied and furious that she had to beg his forgiveness whose very existence she hated, she couldn't see Lei Deming like this. Lei Exports was his business that he and Lei Shing have worked so hard for. If Xiaosi was the only one who could save it, so be it. She gulped all her hatred and apologized.

Caihong snorted. She knew that Lei Biya wasn't truly apologetic. She could see the hatred still burning in her eyes.

Xiaosi pursed his lips. "Please raise your head."

No matter how she treated him, he still didn't want to see her bowing in front of him.

He faintly smiled as he looked at Lei Deming. "Don't worry, Mr. Lei. Rest assured. I won't cancel the deal. S3 has given a commitment, and I don't back off from it."

Lei Biya said nothing. But Lei Deming was still anxious.

"This…why would you…"

Some other businessman would have already ended it long back. But Xiaosi was generous enough not to abandon them.

"I just hope we remain amicable until this deal is over."

Lei Biya stiffened.

Caihong narrowed her eyes. "Apologize to Chyou too. I heard all the insensitive things you said to her."

Lei Biya looked down at Chyou. "I-I am sorry dear…"

Chyou harrumphed. "Don't talk bad about my Dada again! My Dada is the best!"

Xiaosi smiled and ruffled her head.

He glanced at Lei Deming and said, "Please excuse us now."

After the whole gang left, Lei Deming faced her with a grim expression and asked, "What is going on, Biya? How do you know Zhu Xiaosi?"
