Chapter 301 For the third time

Chapter 301 For the third time

When Guiying was at some distance from Zixin, she felt her head spin with the voice inside her taking over her.

'She' raised her brow with amusement. "Strange that you suddenly appeared after so much time and out of nowhere for a complete stranger."

'She' looked back and watched Serena tending to Zixin. A few minutes ago as 'she' was passing by this place, she saw a man in a wheelchair staring at the cherry blossom tree. The soft smile that appeared on his lips was so serene that the real Guiying inside felt like looking at him for sometime longer.

When Zixin struggled to touch the cherry blossom petal, her steps automatically moved towards him to help him. Even she didn't realize when she repressed her other personality and revealed her true self.

'She' shrugged. "Guess there is at least one person that didn't make you cry. I was so sick of your tears."

Silence.

'She' smiled. "Whatever. Let's go back to my brother dearest."

On the other side, Ai waited for Yunru to return to the hospital. She wanted to meet Zixin once and thought that it was appropriate to do so through Yunru introducing her.

"Ai?"

She turned to find Cai Lingyun standing behind her and frowned. She didn't understand why there were more bruises on his body. She had seen Jin beating him up but now there were fresh wounds on his face.

After how he tried to defame Jun and Shui and coming to know his feelings for her, she was particularly more distant from him. She stared at him with suspicion, wondering why he worked at Jun's place in the past. She wanted to know the answers but unfortunately, the Cai Lingyun in this life would be unable to give her any.

Ai had no interest in chatting with him, so she was about to leave.

"Ai!" Cai Lingyun quickly stopped her. "Why are you leaving just like that? Won't you even ask me why I am in the hospital?"

"I can clearly understand your reason judging from your wounds. Also, this is a hospital. People come here to get treated."

"And won't you ask me who put these wounds on me?" The hostility in his eyes was clear.

"I suppose it was Liu Jin."

"No! It was Liu Nian! He just barged into my room and suddenly turned violent! He accused me without any evidence."

Ai furrowed her brows.

Accused of what?

"Without any proof, he said that I was behind Liu Jin's accident. Is this seriously the family you want to marry into? The bunch of brothers are nothing but spoiled and arrogant brats. Just because they are rich, they think they can do anything as they wish! Ai, do you really think I would go so far to hurt anybody? You know me, right?" He urged with his gaze.

She narrowed her eyes.

I thought before that I knew you. But not anymore.

"How should I answer that? I never thought that you would throw Jun into such a situation to humiliate him. There is a very thin line to cross after that."

Cai Lingyun gritted his teeth. "Ai, how can you say that? You are being completely brainwashed by Jun and his family! I just wanted to show you Jun's true face. I care about you. But his brothers think that they could just beat up anybody they wish. They only know how to suppress others if things don't go their way. You will never be happy with a family like them!"

Ai didn't mince her words. "I am perfectly capable of thinking of my own happiness. I know now whom I can trust and…whom I cannot."

"Ai, you-"

"Is that my future granddaughter-in-law I am seeing!?"

Ai had just barely moved her face by a fraction when she noticed someone dashing towards her with lightning speed. Before she knew it, a certain hyper active man took her into his giant teddy bear hug, and her vision was completely blocked.

"..."

Thrice. This was happening to her thrice.

"Hohoho! Just when I was searching for some fun and look who I found? My future granddaughter-in-law!"

Ai felt suffocated, and she signaled the same with her coughs.

But a certain hyper active grandfather was too happy to meet Ai and ignored the feeble resistance was putting.

With the brightest beam of radiance sparkling on his ever so handsome face, Liu Hai laughed heartily.

The nurses passing by them furiously whispered among themselves.

"What is that old man doing hugging a young woman like that?"

"Is he a pervert?"

"Don't tell me he is eyeing that woman in that way…"

"That's so creepy. We should report him to the security as soon as possible!"

The security guards came in no time and sternly coughed. "Sir, leave that woman. We need to take you with us. You have to answer some questions."

Liu Hai watched them with his jaw dropping. "Excuse me? What is all this fuss about?"

"A few nurses complained about an old man harassing a beautiful, young woman."

"..."

"Now we can clearly see it too by that hug," they narrowed his eyes.

"..."

"You are all blind!" Liu Hai glared at him. "How can you call this beautiful and handsome man creepy? And for your kind information, I am hugging my future granddaughter-in-law! I am not a pervert! I am very much in love with my wife!"

"Sir, please leave her alone or we will have to use force on an elder."

"..."

Liu Hai hugged Ai even tighter in response. "Ai, tell these stupid idiots that I am not any creepy old man! You know me as your fluffy handsome grandpa!"

Ai wanted to speak, but her face was too smothered against his chest.

"Sir, if you will let her talk…"

"Oh?" Liu Hai sheepishly grinned and loosened his embrace. "I am sorry, dear. I got too excited."

Ai could finally breathe. She looked at the guards and clarified the misunderstanding. "I am fine. He is not a pervert."

"Are you sure, Mam? You don't have to feel threatened by him," they suspiciously asked.

Liu Hai gritted his teeth. "How can I bear to bully my granddaughter-in-law? Don't talk such things or if my wife hears it, she will bury me alive!"

"She doesn't trust you?"

"She has long lost her trust in me!" He cried. "Isn't that too harsh?"

"..."
