CEO's Substitute Bride

Old Master Pei's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at his grandson's legs in disbelief.    

    

"Yichen …" "Your leg …"    

    

Even in his dreams, he wanted Pei Yichen to be able to stand up. But all these years, no matter how he treated Pei Yichen, his legs never got any better. He also deeply blamed himself for all these years.    

    

He had always felt that he had let down his son and his grandson. However, he never would have thought that there would still be a chance in his life to stand up again after seeing Pei Yichen's legs!    

    

"Grandfather, I …"    

    

Pei Yichen had thought that hiding it would cause irreparable harm to his grandpa, but if he didn't do so at that time, the situation would be even more dangerous. Only by making his grandpa believe that he was seriously disabled could he fool everyone.    

    

He had always been conflicted on how he could tell his grandfather about this so that the damage would be minimized. He didn't expect that his grandfather would receive the news so quickly.    

    

"Pa ~ ~ ~"    

    

Old Master Pei slapped him in the face, "You bastard!"    

    

As he spoke, he raised his crutch and prepared to strike again.    

    

The sudden change scared Ning Xia. She instantly pulled Pei Yichen, who was standing motionlessly, back to his place. She stood in front of him and grabbed Old Master Pei's walking stick. "Grandpa, calm down. Calm down. If there's anything, we can talk about."    

    

She turned around and looked at Pei Yichen. Seeing that he pursed his lips and didn't seem to want to explain himself, she couldn't help but kick his leg, indicating for him to say something to appease her grandpa. However, Pei Yichen remained indifferent.    

    

Ning Xia gritted her teeth. This guy, how could he be so stupid? Pei Yuanfan was always hiding when he was being beaten up, why was he just standing there waiting to be beaten up?    

    

Old Master Pei was quite satisfied with the way Ning Xia was protecting Pei Yichen. He put away his walking stick and glared at Pei Yichen. "Get the hell down here!"    

    

"Yes, grandfather."    

    

When Ning Xia saw that he didn't say anything, she quickly bent down and agreed. She didn't know what kind of heaven angering thing Pei Yichen did to make the old man who always doted on him scold him, but she knew that she had to get Pei Yichen out of here as soon as possible.    

    

Pei Yichen was pushed into the room by Ning Xia. She took out his clothes and indicated for him to change his clothes, but Pei Yichen carried him in his arms.    

    

"Alright, now is not the time to stir up trouble. Hurry up, don't make grandpa wait too long."    

    

Ning Xia patted his back and felt that Pei Yichen was really dead this time. She had never seen Old Master Pei this angry before.    

    

"Ning Xia, it's great to have you."    

    

Just now, she did not hesitate to put herself in front of him. In that instant, too many images appeared in his mind, he was worried that his grandfather would beat her together, and worried that his grandfather would be angered by his grandson and daughter-in-law at the same time.    

    

Ning Xia blanked out for a moment before realizing that it was a moment ago. "Alright, hurry up and change your clothes. I'll also go back to my room to clean up. We'll have a nice chat later. Grandpa is getting on in age …"    

    

"Alright, I understand."    

    

Without waiting for Ning Xia to finish speaking, Pei Yichen nodded and released her, "Quickly go and change your clothes."    

    

Ning Xia pouted and was too lazy to continue nagging at him. They were all adults, she believed that Pei Yichen had his ways of doing things, but no matter what he did or what he did, she was willing to stay by his side.    

    

When Ning Xia returned to her room, she quickly changed into a new set of clothes. She tied up her hair as she walked out. Later on, when she thought of the strawberries on her neck, she simply let her hair down.    

    

The two of them went downstairs together and saw Old Master Pei, who was sitting on the sofa with a dark expression, waiting for them.    

    

Pei Yichen sighed. All the elders in the family were here.    

    

"Aiya, Yichen, it must have been hard for you to hide it from me, and I even found so many top-notch doctors for you …"    

    

As Pei Jianye said this, he looked towards Old Master Pei, waiting for the old man to get angry. It would be best if it was Pei Yichen who drove him out!    

    

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, I only recently found out that I can leave, but I don't know how to tell you, that's why …"    

    

"Third Brother, how did I find out that your leg had already completely recovered overseas? So, when you just arrived at Pei Family, you were hiding this from us all? This is too chilling. "    

    

Pei Shijie looked like he was hurt by his family. Although he looked very sad, he handed the documents in his hands over to Old Master Pei.    

    

Ning Xia and Pei Yichen stood side by side, and upon seeing Pei Shijie, they frowned. When Pei Yichen told her to spread the news, he must have had his own plans, but now he probably didn't do anything and was exposed in advance in order to save her, so Pei Shijie was now using this matter to the extreme. If Old Master Pei really did …    

    

Ning Xia sighed. She turned her head to the side and saw that Pei Yichen was deep in thought and frowned. Without saying anything, she extended her small hand towards Pei Yichen, intertwining her fingers with his to give him encouragement.    

    

Pei Yichen's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Ning Xia. Ning Xia gave him a sweet smile. Pei Yichen knew that she wanted to say that she would always accompany him.    

    

It was good that this was the case.    

    

He was no longer alone.    

    

"Bastard!"    

    

The more Old Master Pei read, the uglier his expression became. He raised the document in his hand and smashed it on Old Master Pei's face.    

    

Pei Yichen moved and subconsciously turned around to put Ning Xia in his arms.    

    

If it was him, he would have definitely stood there and taken the hit. However, he couldn't bear to let Ning Xia get hurt.    

    

The edge of the folder was made of hard material, and in a split-second, it smashed into his back. There was a dark red liquid staining his white shirt, and the paper inside flew everywhere, surrounding the two of them.    

    

Pei Yichen looked down at the documents on the ground. They were all secret files of him receiving treatment abroad, and it was within his expectations.    

    

Seeing this, Old Master Pei was a bit annoyed that he broke his granddaughter-in-law along with him. However, when he thought about how this guy had tricked him for so many years, his heart was unable to calm down.    

    

"Grandfather, we can't blame Third Brother for this. His legs were inexplicably broken back then. Perhaps he did this to prevent someone from harming him!"    

    

Pei Yuanfan hesitated for a moment but still said it out loud. Last night on the food street, Pei Yichen's words were like magic, making him think about what happened that year all night long.    

    

Old Master Pei's drooping eyelids slightly lifted as he glanced at Pei Yuanfan in surprise. He didn't expect that this child wasn't like Pei Shijie who had come to beat him up while he was down.    

    

When Pei Shijie saw this situation, he instantly understood that he was being overly anxious, so he continued to add: "Although we are all family members and won't harm Yichen, it's still a good thing that Yichen is careful. Grandfather, don't blame Yichen, Yichen is not disabled, this is a good thing."
