21 Reasoning

Arriving at Han XiGuang's house, the luxurious gate had passed the chart of Wu SuYi's expectation. Should she say she expected this? Seeing the amount of luxury brands Han XiGuang and Rui wore, he indeed made a big fortune. But that could be both a curse and a blessing. Han XiGuang had to spend most of his time at work that even though he always cared for Rui deeply, the time was rough to let him spend more time with Rui.

Wu SuYi couldn't imagine the face of the person who had harmed such a sweet child such as Rui. Thinking about what that person did made her blood boil.

As soon as they got down, Wu SuYi saw how Han XiGuang was seething with anger. She would only hope he would not raise his hand and finishes off whoever this person is.

While they deserve what coming to them, she didn't want Rui to be alone as his father had to serve a jail time.

"Do you know who it is?" Wu SuYi tried to distract him a bit from his anger.

"There is four people who would take care of Rui. His aunt, my younger cousin— the housekeeper, who had worked with my older brother since we were younger— my aunt, and— my mother."

It would be easy to take a few name away from the list. Han XiGuang's mother wouldn't want to hurt Rui. They were his grandson. Although she would say the rest of the person wouldn't do the same thing as a family, Wu SuYi was brought up by families who never cared about her, even her brother and father.

Although the housekeeper seemed to be the biggest questions, she didn't know much into Han XiGuang's family condition to say the rest others were innocent.

"We should ask the housekeeper first. They should stay the longest time with Rui. They would know the most about them and what occurred in the house," she suggested. Han XiGuang nodded his head as though he had panned to do so.

The housekeeper, Miss Ye held a broom on her hands as she made her way around the house, cleaning it despite how late it was. The woman was silent as she made her way across the hallway, ignoring the other servants who were immersed in their conversation.

When they saw the housekeeper, the servant hurried away to do the job they had been abandoning to talk. Miss Ye who saw that sighed. It was at that time when Han XiGuang and Wu SuYi rushed to enter the house. Seeing the master coming back, the elderly woman greeted politely.

Han XiGuang didn't return the greeting as he always did the other days. Rushing inside, his eyes were sharp, "Tell me what had been happening to Rui."

Miss Ye looked shocked and when Han XiGuang noticed how the blood on her face seemed to have sucked away from her, she slumped on the floor, "Master, I can never said it aloud."

"You mean there is someone you are more frightened of in this house compared to me?" Han XiGuang raised one eyebrow after his question. "And you allowed that person to continuously harm Rui?"

The woman's body trembled, "I don't know what is correct. I cannot see the young master in danger but I am afraid."

Wu SuYi subtly narrow her eyes as she seized the housekeeper's figure. Even though the season was still hot during night, she was dressed in a long sleeve that seemed stifling when compared to the other servants who were wearing a short sleeve.

Reaching out her hand, Wu SuYi rolled the woman's sleeve, surprising the woman and Han XiGuang. They were surprised to see the large patches of bruises on the housekeeper's bodies that seemed to be a lot more than Rui's.

Han XiGuang's fist clenched tight. The anger was seething from his face, "Who is it?" He demanded for the name.

Miss Ye's' hesitation to tell the name explain that she feared she would be beaten more terribly if she had opened her mouth. Seeing this Wu SuYi patted the woman's back. "This is for Rui and also your sake. If you can tell us who is responsible for what happened to you two, we would be able to make them face the punishment that they deserved. You shouldn't be scared of anything. Justice will stay on your side."

Han XiGuang noticed the smooth words that Wu SuYi said which could offer people a sense of comfort. Even though the housekeeper seemed adamant and scared, though the fear stayed, she was slowly willing to answer, "Aunt Liu."

Wu SuYi went to look at Han XiGuang's eyes seeing one glare from his eyes that was enough to make her eyes darting away from his gaze. It was her first time to see such a deadly look on Han XiGuang's eyes and the fear was real.

They left the house as soon as possible. Miss Ye was remained to be detained in the house until they found out the root of the problem. Whoever aunt Liu is, she was already on Wu SuYi's bad side. Han XiGuang's face when hearing the name appeared to be startled but then it looks as though he somewhat understood what could lead to this.

"You are not asking anything?" Han XiGuang questioned to maintain his temperament.

"If you want to talk, I'll be here to listen," she turned her face and offered him a smile.

"Aunt Liu is a close aunt to my mother," Han XiGuang's hand clenched tightly on the wheeling steer. "My aunt seem to treat me and my brother differently. That being said, we always see how she would differentiate me and him. He hated my brother especially much more than me."

Wu SuYi's head tilted, "Is there a reason?"

"Nothing," Han XiGuang answered with a straight tone but his ire could be heard, "Sometimes hating a person could be born from their own heart. My aunt never liked to see my brother but she was different to Rui. Or so I had thought. Regardless what reason she has, what she had done to Rui all this time, I will never forgive them."
