Chapter 203: The secret between them

Chapter 203: The secret between them

Yukira gulped. He knew he had to be strong. He wanted answers.

He gritted his teeth. “On one hand, you claim that I’m your family, but on the other hand, you are threatening me.”

Jinhai chuckled, but there was a sinister ring to it. “Then stop doing such things that I need to threaten you.”

“Stop? You expect me to keep quiet after I saw you pushing your wife?” He looked incredulously.

“Ex-wife.” Jinhai looked coldly. “Be mindful of what you are speaking. Nana is Mrs. Liu now. Don’t forget that.”

“But she would be heartbroken to know the truth behind how she became Mrs. Liu.”

“That’s why we all need to keep our mouths shut and live happily ever after.” He tapped his finger on the table. “By the way, I did tell Nana about my underworld connections.”

Yukira widened his eyes.

“Yes. I confessed that I had killed people. Once somebody gets on Liu family’s bad side, then there is nobody to save them. Their life is literally…” He showed his hand with a piece of paper on it and slowly crumpled into his fist. “in the palm of my hands.”

Yukira furrowed his brows. “So, does that mean Miss Huian had got on your bad side?”

“Is that why you came here today?”

“Yes. I want to know why you had to push her that night.”

“And what difference will it make?”

“Probably nothing. But I want to know. Because I feel that this is more concerned regarding my sister as compared to your divorce. And if my sister is involved, then I have the right to know as her brother.”

Silence.

Even though Yukira was starting to dislike Jinhai, he hated to admit that he did love his sister.

In the press conference, he didn’t let any reporter throw mud at her reputation. He handled it so well that nobody dared point fingers at her. He was always already at her side before anyone could even lift a step out to help her. He would become so gentle and warm towards her that his cold, ruthless side almost seemed like a lie.

Jinhai stared hard at Yukira, but his gaze didn’t falter.

“Alright. But you have to give your word that this will only remain between us. From this moment on, you will forget about saying anything to Nana, ever. Otherwise…”

Yukira hesitated.

He wanted to know his side of the story, but he wasn’t sure about hiding something this big from Nana. He had never lied to her.

“I…”

“Don’t even think about going back on your word.” He looked at him sharply.

“A-alright, I promise.”

Jinhai proceeded to tell him everything that happened that night.

Yukira grew more and more aghast as he kept on listening. Now, he understood why Jinhai wanted revenge. Even he was enraged.

How dare she! We could have lost Nee-chan forever!

Now he hated Huian more than ever.

“M-my sister was hurt because of her!?”

Then he thought back to the night when Huian fell, and a realization struck him.

What classic revenge! The taste of her own medicine! That’s why he waited so long. Otherwise, he could have long had his revenge on Huian.

“That was my same reaction.” Jinhai narrowed his eyes as he remembered the past.

“But Nee-chan didn’t say anything! Why didn’t she tell? That was injustice!”

Jinhai faintly smiled. “Do you think she would have liked to cause any trouble between Huian and the others?”

Yukira pursed his lips into a thin line.

Right, she wouldn’t have done that.

Even though Nana forgot slowly about that night, Jinhai didn’t. Never. He carried that determination to ruin Huian, every day, and every moment inside his heart.

Yukira sighed in frustration.

The thought of their sister not by their side anymore made him shudder in fear. He cannot imagine his life without Nana. She was their only family.

Now, he actually felt thankful to Jinhai.

Hmph! Huian certainly deserved it!

He knew Nana would certainly oppose if she learned that Huian was hurt because of her sake.

So, it was better that she never learns this truth.

“But, I still feel bad for uncle and aunt Xiang.” His expression saddened at their thought. “They have always been so nice to us.”

Jinhai looked away. “I know, but then there are always collateral damages in a war. It was unavoidable. What she did was beyond my tolerance to let her go on account of her parents. I knew they would suffer, but Huian’s mistake left me with no choice.”

Yukira slowly nodded.

He took a deep breath. “I promise I won’t say anything to Nee-chan. But…” He looked a little fearfully at him.

“Hm?”

“Why did you threaten me yesterday? I was scared out of my wits!”

Jinhai shrugged nonchalantly. “Because you said that you wouldn’t let your sister live with me. And I won’t ever tolerate something like that. She is my bottom line. I won’t allow anybody, mind you, anybody to snatch Nana away from me.” His dark eyes carried a hint of malice in them.

“Not even her brothers.”

Yukira nervously smiled.

Should I be thankful that he loves Nee-chan so much or be worried about it?

“Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?”

“I didn’t want to involve you in this mess.”

Yukira stood up to leave. “I should get going.” He asked one last thing. “Brother-in-law… you are not hiding anything else from her, right?”

Jinhai looked up at him.

“She loves you a lot. She wouldn’t be able to bear any lies.”

“No.”

Yukira felt relieved. He gave a slight bow and left.

Jinhai laid back on his seat and stared at the ceiling.

“Sir…” Assistant Xin came out. “Was it wise to tell him the truth?”
