CEO's Substitute Bride

Pei Yuanfan waited until everyone could see the video clearly before he put away his phone. "Originally, your face couldn't be seen, but after this video was uploaded, someone posted a photo of yours, with the same clothes. There's no doubt about it ."    

    

Ning Xia grimaced. She wasn't going to argue. This was clearly the wrong focus!    

    

Everyone was looking at Ning Xia in a different way. Initially, they all thought that she was a gentle and lovely young girl, but her fighting posture and the strength she showed, it was truly shocking.    

    

"Dear, does your hand hurt?"    

    

In this quiet and awkward atmosphere, Pei Yichen seriously took Ning Xia's hand and blew gently on it, as if her hand was hurting after hitting someone …    

    

Everyone present was dumbstruck by his brazenness. They never would have thought that the usually cold Pei Yichen did not first think of how to protect Pei Family's dignity and how to hold Ning Xia accountable, but instead felt sorry for her hands …    

    

Ning Xia's face was flushed. "You're not going to ask me what happened?"    

    

She felt that Pei Yichen was the person to whom she should explain first.    

    

But Pei Yichen's attitude was really weird.    

    

Hearing her words, Pei Yichen shook his head lightly, "I believe you, I'm sure the other party deserved to be beaten. You are so gentle, you won't beat someone up for no reason."    

    

At this, Pei Yuanfan, who had been waiting for a good show, felt like fainting. Ning Xia gentle? Why didn't he notice!    

    

Did she beat them up this hard because she was awful, or was it because they deserved it?    

    

Even if the others went overboard, she, as a girl, also went overboard when she slapped them!    

    

Being forced to witness such a display of affection, Pei Yuanfan looked as if he was watching a good show. "That's not the end. Beating someone up is a small matter. Stealing someone else's fiancé, who's engaged since childhood, that's a big deal!"    

    

Ning Xia raised her eyebrows. Why did those words sound so familiar?    

    

"Grandfather, people are still revealing the news online. This Ning Xia, ah, took advantage of her position and broke the rules to climb higher. She hooked up with a rich second generation, but this rich second generation actually has a fiancee. "Oh my god, if this continues, won't we find out who this rich second generation is …"    

    

Pei Yuanfan looked pointedly at Pei Yichen.    

    

Pei Jianye sneered, "Dad, at this point, even if you want to cover it up, I'm afraid it's not good. The matter has blown up and it's bad for the company's reputation. I think we should let Yichen rest and not come to the company for a while. "    

    

Old Master Pei's face turned slightly ugly. It was not because of the incident with Ning Xia, but because Pei Jianye couldn't wait to stir up trouble.    

    

Pei Shijie stared at Ning Xia quietly. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.    

    

Ning Xia has been in the company for a few years, and he has investigated her in private. She had a good relationship with most people. Her evaluation showed that she was mild and diligent, and she didn't bother others. So, maybe the rumors on the internet were deliberately misrepresenting?    

    

Thinking of this possibility, he smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Grandfather, there must have been some misunderstandings. It's a bit rash to draw a conclusion without investigating clearly. Give me some time, I will investigate it thoroughly."    

    

Pei Jianye didn't expect his son to say this. Wasn't it like a slap on his face? It was too much!    

    

But before he could say anything, the taciturn Zhang Wen opened his mouth, "Dad, I think Shijie is right. Let's not wrongly accuse Ning Xia."    

    

Pei Jianye glared at Zhang Wen, but didn't say anything in the end. He still trusted his son a lot.    

    

Zhao Jianqiang wanted to keep persuading, but he was stopped by Pei Sizhu so he shut his mouth and didn't say anything else.    

    

Although he didn't know why, he listened to his wife.    

    

Of the people present, only Pei Sizhu and Pei Yichen were able to understand Old Master Pei's attitude. He was not happy with Pei Yuanfan's and Pei Jianye's way of handling this matter.    

    

One of them wanted to make a big joke of it at the family dinner, while the other wanted to kick his nephew out of the company.    

    

How disappointing!    

    

Old Master Pei kicked Pei Yuanfan's thigh, "You punk, you never grow up, and cause trouble the moment you come back. Do you want to get beaten up!?"    

    

"Ah, it hurts, Grandfather!"    

    

Pei Yuanfan was jumping up in pain. He never imagined that he would be the one beaten. Wasn't this about Ning Xia?    

    

"Grandpa, last Sunday, I saw him and Shi Mobai tricking some girl in the coffee shop. Ning Xia was also there at that time and tried to stop them."    

    

Pei Yichen flatly said as he patted the back of Ning Xia's hand.    

    

In an instant, Pei Yuanfan lost his composure. Before he could explain anything, Old Master Pei's walking stick landed on him. "Punk, you dare not to come home when you are back!? You even lied to me about coming back just now! The moment you came back, you started trouble with that brat of Shi Mobai. You want me to send you to Heaven ?! You even dare to take revenge on your sister-in-law, right? I'll beat you to death, you rascal! "    

    

Pei Yuanfan was running in circles trying to dodge, but Old Master Pei showed his super-strong combat skill, fighting and scolding at the same time!    

    

Ning Xia watched everything calmly. Pei Yichen's words were a clear accusation, with the meaning that, Ning Xia prevented him to take advantage of a girl, and that's why today he came to make trouble for her!    

    

Ning Xia gave Pei Yichen a thumbs up in her heart. This was the power of speech!    

    

Apart from admiration, she also felt moved. Pei Yichen was defending her, changing the topic to divert everyone's attention away from her.    

    

Others might not understand, but Pei Shijie did. The way he looked at Ning Xia was more complicated now. He really didn't expect her to make Pei Yichen do this. It seemed like Pei Yichen was just an ordinary man after all. It was him who thought he was too strong.    

    

Pei Yichen watched as Pei Yuanfan ran around the room, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He only did that because he was upset for some time.    

    

This guy didn't take any sides, he was not his helper, nor was he Pei Shijie's helper. But, he dragged Shi Mobai to a blind date with Ning Xia. This made him very unhappy.    

    

He probably wasn't used to suppressing himself, and since he was unhappy, he had to vent.    

    

"Ning Xia, Pei Yichen, just you wait, you bastard! Ah — Grandpa, stop fighting, just watch … "    

    

Pei Yuanfan shouted while dodging.    

    

Old Master Pei hit him on the back with his stick, "punk, you still dare to dream of revenge? I'll just beat you to death today!"
