Chapter 79 - Condition



Chapter 79 - Condition

An Guoting froze. Even more, he paled. He suddenly felt suffocating at his name\'s mention.

The assistant could hear his rapid and uneven breaths. "Sir, are you alright?"

"H-huh? Yes...I am fine…"

"Sir, I also talked to Han Huizhong about this but he said something that I didn\'t understand."

An Guoting widened his eyes. "Y-You talked to him? What did he say?"

"This is a little payback from my side. The An family is stuck on us like a curse, isn\'t it? Sir...I didn\'t understand this. I don\'t know why Han Huizhong is attacking us."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Of course, a part of it was because of what happened to Siying.

"You leave it to me. I will handle it."

"Yes sir. I will talk to the investors and try calming the situation."

An Guoting thought for a long time before he picked his phone again. His fingers slightly trembled to press the green button.

His call was picked up on the third ring.

Han Huizhong spoke from the other end. "What made An Guoting call this old man? I thought our families were steering clear from each other."

He said nothing.

"Oh, I remember. Is it about your crashing shares in the market? But you cannot really blame me for An Meiying harming my great-grandson. You really are stuck on us like a curse. Be it the past or the present."

His voice was a little cold and menacing as he said the last sentence, making An Guoting shudder.

"An Meiying is already arrested for her crime."

"So? That isn\'t enough for me when my Siying is lying in the hospital. This will end when only I want it to."

And he hung up.

An Guoting broke into cold sweat again. He felt suddenly tired.

First An Meiying disappointed him and now Han Huizhong was destroying his company. Once Han Huizhong put his paws on someone, it was impossible to escape from his grasp.

What will I do now?

---

After spending a long time with Siying, he finally fell asleep. Xinyi softly smiled and kissed his forehead. He seemed even better than before.

She came to know all about the commotion that happened outside and she clenched her fist knowing that An Meiying could harm Siying just to trap Caihong.

It must have been so painful for Siying…

Her eyes teared up once again but she quickly wiped them. Thankfully, An Meiying was exposed in time and taken away.

Siying is alright now. That\'s what matters.

Just a while ago, Zizi was there too but then she went away to meet Caihong.

The door knocked and Caihong slowly stepped inside. "Can I come inside?"

Xinyi stiffened for a bit but said nothing. Though An Meiying had instigated everything, she was still disappointed at Caihong for ignoring the instructions for Siying. His condition wouldn\'t have worsened had she given him his medicine on time.

"...En."

At first, Caihong didn\'t have the courage to meet her, but she also knew she couldn\'t keep things like that without talking it out.

Her gaze fell upon Siying and a strange feeling clutched her chest. She had an urge to cry, seeing the little boy like that.

He still looks a little weak...

The guilt erupted in her once again and she felt ashamed of herself.

"H-How is he now?" She stammered.

Xinyi softly nodded. "Better."

Relief washed over her heart but it didn\'t ease her guilt. She clasped her hands together and tears shone in her eyes.

"T-that…I-I...I am really sorry…"

Silence.

Xinyi glanced at her. "Sit down first."

Caihong bit her lower lip and nervously sat beside her.

Xinyi asked, "When I met you today, I felt that you were angry at me for some reason."

She stiffened.

"Did I do something wrong because of which m-my son had to suffer like this?" She slightly choked.

Caihong shut her eyes in despair.

"Caihong. I hope the reason behind your mistake is as severe as how much Siying had to bear the pain. Can you tell me why you are angry at me?"

She took a deep breath.

"I...heard you confess that you love Zhiyuan."

---

The police station.

Zhiyuan said, "I want to meet Mrs. An."

Yunru paused. "She has confessed thanks to your fake recording."

He shook his head. "I need to talk something else to her."

Yunru shrugged. "That way."

"Thanks."

As Yunru watched him go, he leaned back on his seat and sighed. The only thing circling in his mind was Shuang\'s face when he left with An Meiying. The disappointment and pain were evident on her face.

He fiddled with his phone and thought to call her. But he couldn\'t press the call button.

Yunru combed his hand through his hair in frustration.

Let her be alone for a while…

They were dating for seven years now, and he knew how her mind worked. Whenever something too depressing happened, Shuang always needed some time alone, away from everybody else.

But as her boyfriend, he didn\'t want to sit and do nothing.

Hmm...let\'s do the usual. It never fails, he thought as a smile tugged his lips.

---

Inside the custody room, An Meiying saw Zhiyuan step in and she frantically stood up. Her wrists were locked onto the table, restraining her from going any further.

"Zhiyuan! Please let me out of here! I am innocent. I did nothing. I didn\'t mean what I said. It just accidentally came out…It\'s all Caihong\'s fault," she sniffled. "You don\'t know. She never liked me. That\'s why she is framing me."

Zhiyuan calmly sat down in front of her.

"You didn\'t like Caihong either, Mrs. An."

She stiffened. "T-that is not true. I have always treated Caihong as my daughter just like Shuang. Just like Guoting wholeheartedly accepted Shuang, I accepted Caihong too…"

"So why did you tell Shuang to plot against Caihong and humiliate her and even seduce me on the cruise trip?" He smiled.

An Meiying froze.

How does he know…?

"All lies!"

"Even if I say that it was Shuang who told me this?"

Her eyes widened in shock. For a moment, she felt a did she heard something wrong.

What!

"That\'s impossible. Shuang would never say such things about me."

"True. Unless you really told her to do those things, she wouldn\'t make up lies about her own mother."

An Meiying gritted her teeth. She clenched her fists in panic.

How could Shuang expose me!?

Zhiyuan coldly said, "Since you could go this far to destroy Caihong after all this time, I want to know Mrs. An. What did you do seven years ago that made Caihong and Xiaosi leave China?"

His sudden question took her aback.

"What? I don\'t understand."

"Of course you do. You never liked Caihong and me dating in the past because you always wanted Shuang to be my wife. You wanted your biological daughter to enter the Han family."

She bit her lip.

That was true indeed. She hated Caihong that she grabbed a man like Han Zhiyuan for her. She wanted to drive them apart and make Shuang take her place.

"Even now in this incident, you wanted to show off Shuang to me saying how she cares about Siying and brought him to the hospital. You wanted her to win my heart through Siying even though it was a useless attempt by you."

An Meiying flustered. "I-I already said it\'s not true."

He ignored her. "So, if you could do this now, then you must be behind what happened seven years back. You did something to make your step-daughter leave this country. I want to know the truth."

She panicked.

"It would be in your best interests that you confess everything."

"You are wrong! Even I don\'t know what happened!"

She clasped her hands in nervousness.

Zhiyuan shouldn\'t know what happened that night! Otherwise, I would be dead!

Zhiyuan bored his sharp gaze on her. "I think I might need to talk to Yunru about a much harsher time in jail."

She paled.

"T-that I really don\'t know…"

Zhiyuan signaled an officer. "Call Officer Yunru. I have to talk something about her."

"No! Don\'t call him! I-I-"

She quickly weighed her options in her mind.

He wouldn\'t leave until he knows something.

She had no choice.

Nobody knows the truth anyway. Not even Xiaosi and Caihong. I won\'t get into trouble…

"I will tell everything but trust me! I had nothing to do with it. We only hid this from you because Caihong didn\'t want to let you know."

He frowned.

"We?"

"As in our family. Guoting, Shuang and I."

He widened his eyes.

"Shuang knows the truth?"

But she told me that doesn\'t know anything.

She knew what he was thinking.

"Shuang lied. We all did because Caihong and Guoting, too, didn\'t want anybody to know the truth of that graduation party that night."

"But I have a condition. You have to let me go in exchange for the truth."
