Chapter 436: A Dreadful Surprise (1)

Siying asked, "I don't understand."

Han Huizhong looked at him. "You will once you grow up."

He pursed his lips. "I am four!"

"Four isn't being grown up," he sneered. "For me, it's as good as being a toddler."

Siying puffed up his cheeks and looked away.

Han Huizhong shrugged. He looked at the time. 

"Why aren't your Grandma and Grandpa not coming back yet?"

He heard some commotion in the living room.

"Guess they are back."

He picked Siying and came down and saw Han Tian and Xia Liqin's pale faces. The extreme worry on their faces was as clear as a day.

Han Huizhong narrowed his eyes. "Why are you two looking as if you saw a ghost?"

Xia Liqin burst into tears. "You are an idiot, Tian! Why did you sign the papers!?"

Han Tian retorted. "Didn't you do the same? You didn't think even for a moment before you took the pen and signed it."

"You didn't even take half a second and you are blaming me!?"

Han Huizhong gritted his teeth. "Shut up!"

Han Tian and Xia Liqin jolted and shut their mouths.

"This is not the time for a love quarrel!"

Han Tian said with a serious expression. "We are not quarrelling."

"It's definitely not a love quarrel…" Xia Liqin muttered. She looked at him, distressed. "Dad, there is a big problem."

He sneered. "No, thanks. Don't involve me in your lovey-dovey squabbles."

"Dad, it's serious!"

"When is it not serious between you two? Let me live in peace."

Xia Liqin exclaimed in frustration. "It's not a lovey-dovey squabble! Sit down and listen to what I have to say!"

Silence.

It was true that Han Huizhong had a snarky nature, and he loved giving everyone his peace of mind, and nobody could protest either. But when Xia Liqin raised her voice like this, the whole villa would turn extremely quiet. Even Han Huizhong didn't dare to mess with an angry woman. He had learned that lesson years ago when he came to know how dangerous his late wife would be if he said anything that would trigger her already distressed state.

Siying stared at Han Huizhong, who had his mouth shut. He couldn't help but giggle at the expression he was making, which was extremely funny for him.

"Grandpa is scared!" He laughed.

He glowered at him.

You brat!

Han Huizhong quietly sat on the couch. For Xia Liqin to be this furious at anyone other than Han Tian meant that whatever the situation was, it was indeed serious.

"Tell me."

Xia Liqin's anger calmed down, and then she burst into tears again.

"Dad, you cannot believe what happened to us…"

"How can I know until you tell-"

Xia Liqin stared at him, and he immediately changed his words. "Of course, it must have been hard for you. Take your time."

Han Huizhong was impatient by nature, but he didn't want to offend Xia Liqin and die before he could get to hold his great-granddaughter at least once.

Xiq Liqin wiped her cheeks and sniffled. "Dad. On our way to the hospital, Tian and I got kidnapped."

Han Huizhong blankly stared at her.

"What?"

Han Tian gravely nodded. "It's true."

"But you two look just fine to me. I guess your kidnapper had a soft heart-"

A glare from Xia Liqin made Han Huizhong tone down. "I was just trying to light up the mood."

Han Tian said with a grim expression. "Not just Liqin and me. There was Zizi too. He didn't want our lives, Dad. He wanted something else from us."

---

Han Corps.

Xinyi stepped in the company and nodded to the employees as she greeted them. Some of them approached her and softly asked, "Madam. How is Sir now…?"

Xinyi smiled. "He is…doing okay. The doctors said it will take a bit more time for him to be conscious again."

The employees were relieved. They were happy enough to know that Zhiyuan was out of danger.

But Xinyi couldn't feel happy because she knew that the deadly poison had affected some of his internal organs severely. She didn't know how much time he would take to wake up. 

Since Zhiyuan's condition was unpredictable, she couldn't leave the Han Corps management unattended for this long. So, she came by to check the current affairs.

One of the employees chirped. "Mam, there is somebody waiting for you at Sir's office."

She blinked. "Zhiyuan's office?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Hehe, he told us to keep it a secret from you. Don't worry, Mam. You will definitely be elated to meet him. After all, you would be meeting him after so long."

Xinyi wondered who this person might be.

Not met him for years? 

Xinyi came out of the elevator. She opened the door to the CEO's office and saw a man sitting on Zhiyuan's chair. The chair was facing the large floor-to-ceiling windows, hence she couldn't see his face.

But she didn't like him sitting on Zhiyuan's chair.

"Who are you?"

The man chuckled. "I sense distaste from your voice... sister-in-law. Is this how you greet your brother-in-law who you met after years?"

Xinyi widened her eyes.

Brother-in-law…

Suddenly, it struck her.

"Keung?"

The chair turned, and he faced her with a smile on his lips. "So, you remember me, sister-in-law."

Xinyi looked at him, stunned. 

Han Keung. He was Han Mingli and Han Guang's son and Zhiyuan's cousin. He was abroad for a long time, and now he was finally back.

Han Keung chuckled. "I am surprised you still remember me. I mean...after how you threw my parents away from the Han family, it's quite shocking indeed that you would even bother to remember their son."

Xinyi was still in a daze. She never expected to meet him so suddenly.

"See how happy you look. I knew my surprise was worth it."

She snapped out of her stupor and stared at him.

"Keung…"

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is it that you have anything to say about how you drove my parents away?"

Xinyi was shocked.. "Throw them away? Keung, do you think that I wanted them out of my family? If you know that they don't live at the Han villa anymore, then you should also know why it's like that."
