C50 Apologize
"Why don't we go to the hospital?"
Ning Xia's face was red from the pain, but she was trying to stay calm.
Shen Heng opened the medical case and found the equipment inside to be very complete. "Don't worry young mistress, I've learned first aid. It's no big deal for me to bandage a wound and handle glass shards."
Ning Xia's mouth twitched. Could it be that Pei Yichen was injured often and he needed such a skill?
"But it might hurt a little. You have to be prepared."
Shen Heng disinfected himself and put on disposable gloves while cleaning up Ning Xia's wound.
"Good... "Ah!
Before Ning Xia finished her sentence, Shen Heng had swiftly taken out the glass shard with the tweezers and threw it to the side. He then used the tweezers to open the wound and wiped it with a cotton ball with iodine to remove any residue. Throughout the whole process, he was very focused, and his movements were nimble and accurate.
Ning Xia stomped her foot in pain, trying to withdraw her hand, but Shen Heng held it tightly, giving her no chance to escape.
Ning Xia was in so much pain that she was covered in a cold sweat. Shen Heng, on the other hand, was a little disrupted. When he was treating President Pei's wounds, President Pei didn't even make a sound. The gap between men and women really was huge …
Under Ning Xia's red eyes, Shen Heng was trembling in fear, but he still professionally bandaged her up.
Ning Xia was numb with pain. Looking at her hand wrapped in gauze, she took a deep breath and consoled herself. For the sake of eight hundred thousand dollars, just endure it …
"Young mistress, it's done."
Shen Heng took a step back. He spoke as he treated her wounds to divert her attention. Who would have known that she was so sensitive to pain …
"Don't call me young mistress, it sounds weird. Just call me by my name."
Ning Xia shook her hand. Although it was painful, she had to admit that Shen Heng was quite skilled.
"Alright, young master said that you could go down to eat after everything is settled."
Shen Heng saw that she didn't blame him, so he revealed his signature bright smile.
Ning Xia nodded and walked downstairs. In the living room, everyone had already taken their seats and were waiting for her.
Upon seeing Ning Xia, Old Master Pei glared at Pei Yichen, then waved at her in a pacifying manner. "Ning Xia, come over here and let me see. How's the injury on your hand?"
Ning Xia looked at Pei Yuanfan thoughtfully. Needless to say, this big mouth must have spread the news everywhere.
She hesitated but still walked to Grandpa's side. She shook her head, smiling: "Shen Heng has already treated my wound. It's just a small matter. Sorry for making Grandpa worry."
"Yichen, apologize to Ning Xia."
Seeing that Ning Xia's hands were already bandaged, Old Master Pei heaved a sigh of relief. Listening to what Pei Yuanfan said, she already lost a lot of blood, and this little girl already suffered an injustice by marrying instead of the other girl from the Ning Family. Now that she was being bullied by this grandson like this, when would she be able to carry his great-grandson!
Pei Yichen's eyes flashed. He never thought that his grandpa would ask him to apologize to this woman.
Everyone present was surprised. Although Pei Yichen was the youngest in their family, he was extremely proud. Apart from the old man, he was distant from anyone. And now …
"Ning Xia, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. Please forgive me, okay?"
Pei Yichen pulled Ning Xia's wrist, looking at her with a sincere expression.
His apology was genuine. He didn't expect to injure Ning Xia.
The sight of her hand tightly wrapped in gauze blinded his eyes.
"I... I, I, I … "It's fine."
Ning Xia was so scared that even her tongue was trembling. She felt that Pei Yichen had changed. In normal times, he would be so proud that he would only give her a cold stare. It seemed that he really cared about his grandfather.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone looked at Pei Yichen in disbelief, as if they had seen a monster.
Pei Yichen's gentleness towards Ning Xia shocked everyone when they first met, and they were expecting him to hurt her today. But now, he actually apologized to her? This was an even greater shock!
"Come, let me help you with the food."
Pei Yichen pulled Ning Xia to sit beside him.
Her right hand, which was used to eating, was hurt so she couldn't use the tableware. Therefore, Pei Yichen turned into a cute and caring little angel, graciously serving Ning Xia with vegetables and soup. He even brought the dishes to her mouth many times.
Pei Yuanfan felt the pain of being single, and it was really a big pain!
Weren't they arguing? Weren't they all bleeding from their wounds?
Miss Ning Xia, why don't you have any guts? You're forgiving him with just a single apology?
Pei Yuanfan had ten thousand complaints in his heart. However, the two opposite him completely ignored everyone else, one of them feeding the other, one of them eating, as if no one else was around.
Old Master Pei looked at his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law and smiled kindly.
"Grandfather, I'm going back to my room. I'm full."
Pei Yuanfan put down his chopsticks and stood up, ready to return to his room. He didn't get to see Ning Xia being abandoned, so he felt very upset!
"Yes, go back and study well with Yichen during this period of time."
The old man waved his hand without the slightest intention of urging him to stay.
Pei Yuanfan felt very uncomfortable. He was leaving, shouldn't grandpa pay attention to him?
Why was it that all his attention was still on Ning Xia? He looked around reluctantly. It was the same for his aunts and uncles. Nobody took him seriously at all.
He thought that he finally came back, but everything had changed …
Pei Yuanfan gloomily went back to his room and sent a message to his big brother, complaining about the quarrel between Ning Xia and Pei Yichen.
Pei Shijie received the message and smiled.
It seemed like there were quite a few problems between Ning Xia and Pei Yichen. Besides, that half-sentence of hers was still lingering in his mind.
He left before lunch. His grandfather asked him to get some wine from the winery for him to drink during the evening. However, there was still some time left. He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to investigate whether what Ning Xia had said was true or false.
Pei Shijie, as a young master of the Pei Family, was received personally when he went to the bank. Of course, it would be very easy for him to investigate someone's bank account.
He made a few calls and received Ning Xia's bank statement.
Every amount of money withdrawn over several months was tabulated.
His gaze was locked on those few days two weeks ago. A few cards gave her nearly 300,000 yuan in cash …
