Everyone Hates the Substitute Until He’s Reborn

In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.

Little did...

Chapter 40 You Continue

Ye Chaoran widened his eyes and looked at Ye Pei in disbelief.

grandfather?

Ye Chaoran only asked about his grandparents when he was very young.

At that time, Ye Chaoran had just started kindergarten. The kindergarten teacher was teaching the children to recognize words. When he read the word "grandparents", Ye Chaoran realized that he not only had no grandparents, but also no grandparents-in-law.

So when he returned home that night, Xiao Chaoran took Song Ya's hand and asked her why he didn't have grandparents.

Ye Chaoran couldn't remember Song Ya's expression at that time, but he remembered that Ye Pei lifted him up and asked, "Chaoran doesn't have grandparents, but you have a father and a mother. Isn't it good for your father and mother to accompany you to grow up?"

How could Xiao Chaoran feel bad?

His favorite people at that time were his parents. He immediately hugged Ye Pei's neck and said that he wanted to ride a horse, and immediately forgot about his grandparents.

After that, Ye Chaoran never asked this question again.

In Ye Chaoran's impression, he always thought that he had no grandparents.

Now after hearing what Ye Pei said, he realized that there might be some hidden secrets that he didn't know.

"Then... that old man just now, is he my grandpa?"

As soon as Ye Chaoran finished speaking, someone knocked on the ward door from outside.

Ye Pei didn't answer, but turned around and opened the door of the ward.

Ye Zong and several policemen stood outside the ward. He first glanced at Ye Chaoran, smiled at him, and then nodded to Song Ya. He didn't look at Ye Pei the whole time and said, "The police want to talk to Chaoran and ask a few questions."

Ye Chaoran looked at Song Ya.

Song Ya rubbed Ye Chaoran's hair and gave him a reassuring look.

"We're just outside the door, don't worry." Ye Pei patted Ye Chaoran on the shoulder.

Ye Chaoran nodded.

Ye Zong turned around and went out first, followed by Ye Pei and Song Ya.

From time to time, a few nurses would hurriedly walk through the hospital corridor. None of the three spoke first, and for a while, the only sound in the air was the hurried footsteps of passers-by.

Song Ya couldn't stand the silence and poked Ye Pei with her elbow.

Ye Pei remained calm and held Song Ya's arm.

Song Ya: “…”

Just keep competing.

Song Ya ignored Ye Pei, suppressed her nervousness, looked at Ye Zong beside her, and said, "Thank you so much, Dad, for today. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know..."

Song Ya choked up and couldn't continue.

When Ye Zong heard Song Ya's voice, his tense expression relaxed slightly. He shook his head and said, "It should be." After a pause, he glanced at Ye Pei on the other side and said, "Chao Ran is also my grandson."

Ye Pei suddenly laughed, loudly and with undisguised contempt.

Sonja glared at him.

Ye Pei stopped talking.

Ye Zong was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned his head away.

I cursed in my heart, you little bastard!

Song Ya asked again: "I heard that mom is here too?"

Ye Zong looked over again: "Yes, but she was frightened just now, so I didn't let her come over again. I sent her back to the hotel to rest."

Song Ya quickly asked, "Is mom okay?"

Ye Pei's expression also changed. He frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at Ye Zong.

Ye Zong wanted to say that it was no big deal, but after meeting Ye Pei's gaze, he came up with a plan and pretended to be sad and sighed: "It's all old problems. Hey - we are both old."

"Why don't you come to the hospital if you feel unwell?" Ye Pei finally spoke, "Which hotel is mom in? I'll pick her up."

Ye Zong snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Ye Pei.

Ye Pei: “…”

Song Ya coughed lightly and said, "How about I go and get Mom over here? She hasn't seen Ranran yet."

It would be nice to leave the father and son a quiet space so that they can have a good chat.

Ye Zong then said: "Okay, I'll let the driver go with you."

Song Ya agreed.

Ye Pei wanted to say that he would go too, but then he changed his mind and thought that Ye Chaoran was still inside and he couldn't leave him alone, so he said to Song Ya, "Remember to call me if anything happens."

Seeing that Ye Pei was not opposed to staying here with Ye Zong, Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to the two of them, and left with the driver.

The lights outside the window come on and night falls.

The police did not ask Ye Chaoran too many questions. They just briefly inquired about what happened and told Ye Chaoran about the current situation of Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua.

Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua had just been brought back to the police station and were very emotional.

"Why are you arresting us? I just want to find my biological son and bring him home to live with me for a while. Even if the king of heaven comes, I am right!"

"Where's your director? I want to see your director!"

"Don't let them torture me, you will regret it!"

Fang Qishan cursed everyone in the police station.

Cai Lianhua on the other side was not so excited, but she was also extremely uncooperative. She kept talking about contacting a lawyer, and she would not say anything before the lawyer arrived.

Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua did not give in until several police officers came to the hospital.

Ye Chaoran nodded and said thank you.

The police didn't say anything more. They just said that they still needed Ye Chaoran's cooperation in the investigation and left.

Ye Pei and Ye Zong were right at the door. The police wanted to talk to Song Ya, but when they learned that Song Ya had gone to pick someone up, they suggested that they wait here.

Ye Pei went into the ward to see Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran asked: "Who did mom pick up?"

Ye Pei said: "Your grandmother."

Ye Chaoran looked at Ye Pei. He felt that Ye Pei probably wouldn't tell him anything if he asked him at this time, so he didn't ask.

Ye Pei looked at him in confusion: "Aren't you curious?"

Ye Chaoran smiled, but his movements were a bit too big, and he accidentally pulled the wound on his face. He hissed in pain and said, "You will tell me eventually. I'm not in a hurry."

Ye Pei's eyes suddenly softened.

Ye Zong and the police were chatting outside the ward, and Ye Pei sat down next to Ye Chaoran.

After a while, Song Ya's voice was heard outside, and she came with Tan Zheng.

Tan Zheng didn't even bother to say hello to Ye Zong before she pushed open the door of the ward.

When Ye Pei saw Tan Zheng, his Adam's apple rolled and he spoke first: "Mom, are you okay?"

Tan Zheng and Ye Pei have very similar eyebrows and eyes. She has taken good care of herself, but her age can still be seen from the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. When Tan Zheng frowned slightly, her wrinkles deepened. She shook her head and said that she was fine. Her eyes quickly moved to Ye Chaoran and she said in a hoarse voice, "You are Ranran, right?"

Ye Chaoran nodded and smiled at Tan Zheng nervously.

When Tan Zheng saw the scar on Ye Chaoran's left cheek and his bloodstained pants, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Ye Chaoran was suddenly at a loss and looked at Ye Pei for help.

Ye Pei handed a few pieces of paper to Tan Zheng.

Ye Zong also came in at this time and put his arm around Tan Zheng's shoulders.

Tan Zheng took the tissue and shook her head, saying softly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little excited..." She choked up, "I'm sorry, if we had come to see you earlier, Ranran wouldn't have been hurt..."

Hearing this, Ye Chaoran and Ye Pei's faces changed at the same time.

Ye Pei shouted in astonishment: "Mom? What do you mean?"

What does it mean if you come earlier, you won’t get hurt?

The police were still questioning Song Ya outside, and some things were difficult to say directly.

Ye Zong said: "Let's talk about it later."

Ye Chaoran looked calm on the outside, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Did Ye Zong and Tan Zheng also know about the Fang family’s plan?

When did it happen? How did they know?

It is not difficult to infer from Tan Zheng's words that they have known about the Fang family's crazy plan for some time, but she and Ye Zong probably did not expect Fang Qishan to be so crazy as to arrest people directly on the street.

Ye Chaoran's intuition told him that Ye Zong and Tan Zheng's identities must be complicated.

Then why didn't he hear about Ye Zong and Tan Zheng coming to see Song Ya and Ye Pei until he returned to the Fang family in his previous life?

What is the conflict between Ye Pei and Ye Zongtan Zheng?

In this life, Ye Zong and Tan Zheng are capable of finding out the truth about the Fang family, but what about in their previous life before their death?

Did they also find out...

A rapid ringing of a bell interrupted Ye Chaoran's thoughts.

Ye Chaoran picked up the phone and found it was a call from Jiang Xunmo.

"Hello……"

"What happened to you?" Jiang Xunmo's voice was a little hurried, and there were a few hurried wind sounds in the earphones. Jiang Xunmo seemed to be running.

Ye Chaoran touched the jade pendant on his neck and thought that Jiang Xunmo must have noticed that his position had changed, which was why he was anxious.

"I... I'm in the hospital now," Ye Chaoran glanced at Ye Pei and lowered his voice, "But I'm fine now."

"I'll be there soon," Jiang Xunmo said, "Which floor are you on?"

Ye Chaoran wanted to say no.

Ye Pei asked, "Xiao Jiang?"

Ye Chaoran didn't want to lie, so he just nodded.

"Let him come over, it's okay." Ye Pei said.

Ye Chaoran: “…” What else can he say? I could only tell Jiang Xunmo the floor and room number.

In less than five minutes, Jiang Xunmo appeared outside the ward.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the injuries on Ye Chaoran's face and legs, Jiang Xunmo's face changed.

"Are you hurt?" Jiang Xunmo walked over quickly, raised his hand, his fingers stopped in front of the wound on Ye Chaoran's face, and quickly put it down.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xunmo suppressed the anger in his eyes.

Ye Chaoran pursed his lips and said after a while: "It's a long story."

Ye Zong stared at Jiang Xunmo for a few seconds and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Isn't this the child of the Jiang family?"

Tan Zheng also reacted: "It's true."

Jiang Xunmo then noticed the other people in the ward. He glanced at Ye Zong, then at Tan Zheng, and was also a little surprised: "Grandpa Ye, Grandma Tan, what are you doing..."

Jiang Xunmo looked at Ye Pei again and understood instantly.

It turns out that the real young master of the Ye family who was on the run was Ye Pei. No wonder he felt that Ye Pei looked familiar when he first saw him.

Jiang Xunmo looked at Ye Chaoran, with a look of surprise on his face.

It seems that Ye Chaoran still knows nothing.

Ye Chaoran's eyes were full of shock, and he became more and more curious about his father's true identity!

Jiang Xunmo's family is either rich or noble. Could it be that his father is also the young master of a wealthy family?

Ye Zong simply asked Jiang Xunmo a few questions, and then said, "Then you talk to Ranran first, we will go out first."

Tan Zheng was also afraid that their presence here would make Ye Chaoran feel nervous, so she nodded.

All the adults in the ward had left, but Ye Chaoran was still in shock.

So many things happened tonight that his mind was a little confused.

Jiang Xunmo poured a glass of water for Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran took it and thanked him, lowering his voice: "Did you check the location?"

Jiang Xunmo nodded first, then quickly shook his head.

After arriving home this afternoon, Xia Wen made a video call to Jiang Xunmo.

The mother and son had not been in contact for a while. Xia Wen asked Jiang Xunmo many questions, including whether Jiang Xunmo had succeeded in getting the person he liked.

Jiang Xunmo shook his head. Xia Wen curled her lips when she heard this: "Can you do it?"

Jiang Xunmo immediately turned sullen: "Why can't I do that?"

Xia Wen smiled and gave Jiang Xunmo some advice.

The two chatted for a long time, and before they knew it, it was getting dark outside.

When Jiang Xunmo thought of Ye Chaoran, the corners of his mouth curled up. He was just hesitating whether to send a message to Ye Chaoran when a message was pushed to his phone -

#kidnapping#

Jiang Xunmo's eyelids twitched inexplicably, and he quickly clicked it.

The video was short and blurry, but Jiang Xunmo recognized Ye Chaoran's figure in the crowd at a glance.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat. Just as he was about to call the police, he thought of Ye Chaoran's location. After confirming that Ye Chaoran was in the hospital, Jiang Xunmo didn't care about anything else and ran all the way to the hospital.

It was only after he ran downstairs to the hospital that Jiang Xunmo remembered to call Ye Chaoran.

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Xunmo asked.

Ye Chaoran did not hide it from him anymore and told Jiang Xunmo what happened that afternoon.

The experience in the afternoon was thrilling enough. If Ye Chaoran had made a slightly wrong decision, he would have been taken away by Fang Qishan.

Ye Chaoran's tone was relatively calm when he spoke, but Jiang Xunmo beside him frowned repeatedly.

After saying that, Ye Chaoran took a deep breath. He tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth and smile at Jiang Xunmo.

Jiang Xunmo felt a little sore in his chest.

"You don't have to pretend to be relaxed." Jiang Xunmo suddenly spoke. He sat down on the chair opposite Ye Chaoran and looked at Ye Chaoran deeply with his calm eyes.

Ye Chaoran was stunned for a moment.

He pursed his lips, and the tearing pain came again on his face.

Jiang Xunmo suddenly stepped forward and gently took Ye Chaoran into his arms.

The strange yet familiar mint scent penetrated into Jiang Xunmo's nose, and his chest felt warm and solid, with the youthful vigor that only a teenager could have.

Ye Chaoran's body was a little stiff and he didn't dare to move for a long time.

"If you're scared, speak up."

Jiang Xunmo's voice was very low, as if he was whispering in Ye Chaoran's ear. The moist breath instantly dyed Ye Chaoran's earlobe red.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice it right away."

"This won't happen again, I promise."

Jiang Xunmo emphasized the last sentence.

When being chased by Fang Qishan's bodyguards, Ye Chaoran was not actually afraid, he just felt it was ridiculous.

It was not until he realized that he could not escape that he felt a little scared. Ye Chaoran was afraid of repeating the same mistake and afraid that he would not be able to escape his fate this time.

Afterwards, he was rescued by Ye Zong and he never recovered.

It was not until he met Song Ya and Ye Pei that he was able to vent his anger.

But Song Ya and Ye Pei were so worried about him that Ye Chaoran didn't dare to express all his fears for fear of upsetting them.

Until Jiang Xunmo hugged him and said these words.

Ye Chaoran's vision gradually blurred. He buried his head in Jiang Xunmo's shoulder, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

His breathing gradually became rapid. Ye Chaoran tried hard to suppress the sob in his throat, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"I...I was..."

Jiang Xunmo tightened his arms, pressed Ye Chaoran's head, and whispered, "It's okay. I'm sorry, I'm late."

Ye Chaoran shook his head, tears bursting out.

He choked up and said a lot of things that he didn't dare to say in front of Song Ya and Ye Pei.

Ye Chaoran was really scared. Thinking of the despair on the operating table in his previous life, the panic in his heart lasted for a long time and his hands and feet became cold.

"It's over, don't be afraid." Jiang Xunmo patted Ye Chaoran's back, and his teeth tightened involuntarily.

"Not anymore."

"I'll stay with you."

I don’t know how long it took before Ye Chaoran gradually calmed down.

Jiang Xunmo was afraid that Ye Chaoran's tears would cause the wound to become inflamed, so he gently pushed him away, took a tissue and bent down to wipe his tears.

Jiang Xunmo lifted Ye Chaoran's chin, and Ye Chaoran raised his head obediently, and Ye Chaoran still helped him wipe his tears.

Ye Chaoran had been crying for too long and her brain was a little deprived of oxygen, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Xunmo's behavior.

Jiang Xunmo's gaze fell on the scratches on Ye Chaoran's face, his eyes full of heartache.

Ye Chaoran raised his head and stared into Jiang Xunmo's eyes.

Why did Jiang Xunmo’s eyes turn red?

Ye Chaoran didn't understand it, nor did he notice the intimacy between their behavior.

It was at this time that Ye Pei pushed open the door of the ward.

Song Ya, Tan Zheng and Ye Zong were standing outside the door in that order.

The number is relative.

Ye Pei suddenly slammed the door shut and said, "You guys continue. I won't bother you anymore."

Ye Chaoran: “?”

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

After several seconds, Ye Chaoran finally realized what was happening. His face was burning hot and he whispered, "Did they misunderstand something?"

Jiang Xunmo suppressed his inner excitement and said calmly, "It's not important."

Ye Chaoran: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xunmo changed the subject: "The wound on your face will probably leave a scar. I will go to your house tomorrow to give you scar removal medicine."

Ye Chaoran's attention was easily diverted, and he said seriously: "Thank you."

Police station.

"Please cooperate with the investigation." The policeman looked at Fang Qishan who was still making a fuss in front of him and frowned with a headache.

Fang Qishan snorted coldly: "Why wouldn't I cooperate? Didn't I tell you? I'm just here to find my son. Is there any problem with that?"

"Then how do you explain the kidnapping in the street?" the police asked.

"What is kidnapping? Don't accuse me of anything. I'll tell you!" Fang Qishan's eyes widened. "Okay, you don't have to ask me anymore. I won't say anything. I'm going to call my dad and contact a lawyer!"

At the same time, in another interrogation room.

Cai Lianhua said the same thing as Fang Qishan: "I must contact a lawyer first, otherwise I will not cooperate with the investigation of this matter."

The police had no choice but to ask their superiors for instructions.

The superior was silent for a while before he said, "Let them contact a lawyer." He paused and then said to his subordinate, "Contact the person who called the police and tell them about this."

The subordinates quickly did it.

After getting the phone, Fang Qishan did not contact a lawyer immediately, but instead prepared to call Old Man Fang.

Although before coming, Fang Qishan promised Mr. Fang that he would handle everything on his own no matter what happened. But Fang Qishan never expected that the Ye family would actually intervene in this matter!

He must quickly inform the old man so that he can take precautions early.

He had also confirmed that Fang Sheng had gone abroad without permission.

If you tell this news to Mr. Fang, he will definitely be very disappointed with Fang Sheng.

After the merits and demerits offset each other, Mr. Fang will definitely help me contact the best lawyer.

By the time he gets out of here, Fang Sheng will have gone abroad, and there will be no one else available in the Fang family, so Old Master Fang will naturally use him!

As for Fang Yan's illness——

Ye Chaoran’s exact identity is still uncertain, there will be opportunities later.

Fang Qishan happily dialed Mr. Fang's number, but he didn't expect a cold female voice to come from the other end: "Hello, the user you dialed has been turned off..."

Fang Qishan's face suddenly changed, and he murmured, "Impossible, it must be a wrong number!"

Hang up and replay.

The same voice came again.

After repeating this several times, Fang Qishan finally confirmed that the phone was really turned off.

He was abandoned.

"We don't have to wait anymore?" Old Mrs. Fang looked at Old Man Fang. In her heart, she still wanted to wait a little longer.

"The take-off time has been determined long ago. If you wait any longer, you can't take off!" said Mr. Fang in a deep voice.

Fang Qishan's plan was too risky. Mr. Fang felt from the beginning that it was unlikely to be realized, but seeing Fang Qishan's insistence, he couldn't help but be tempted.

Now that the time has come and neither Fang Qishan nor Cai Lianhua has returned, there is only one possibility - they have failed.

Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua made quite a fuss. Since they failed, that person must be in the police station now.

It would not be a big problem for them to rescue the person, but if they were discovered by other media reporters, the Fang family would be pushed to the forefront again.

I don’t know what happened in City A during this period. Several large orders that had already been confirmed were intercepted by rival companies.

Although it would not have much impact on their company in the short term, if another scandal were to be exposed at this time, it would be difficult for the Fang family to gain a foothold in City A.

Instead of taking the risk to save people, it would be better for Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua to take all the responsibility while they can just stay out of it.

In this way, even if this matter is exposed later, they can say that it has nothing to do with the Fang family.

Mr. Fang has a long-term vision and is ruthless.

Mrs. Fang was still a little hesitant, so Mr. Fang pulled her onto the plane and said to her, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back to City A."

"After all, they are our son and daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I won't really ignore them."

Old Madam Fang nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, why hasn't Shengsheng arrived yet? Didn't you say he went back to get something?"

Old Master Fang frowned, checked the time, picked up his phone and called Fang Sheng.

The call was just connected when the other party hung up.

Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment, then replayed the video.

This time Fang Sheng answered the phone.

"Shengsheng, why haven't you come yet?" Old Master Fang couldn't control his temper. How come one or two of them came without knowing the time?

Fang Sheng smiled softly: "Grandpa, I won't go with you. I have something to take care of. You guys go first."

Mr. Fang frowned: "What do you want to deal with?"

Fang Sheng had already arrived in City A and was on his way to the Fang family's old house.

He didn't say it explicitly, but smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a big thing. You will know it when you arrive in City A. It's a surprise from me for you. A big surprise!"

Mr. Fang was full of anger, and he was too lazy to guess riddles with him, so he just hung up the phone and said, "Forget about him, let's go first."

Fang Yan had been in poor health recently and slept almost all day. When he heard Grandpa Fang's voice, he opened his eyes dazedly: "Grandpa...where are my brother and my parents?"

Mr. Fang looked at Fang Yan, and his anger immediately dissipated. He smiled soothingly: "Your parents and Shengsheng have some things to deal with. They will be back later. We will leave first."

Fang Yan nodded, didn't ask any more questions, turned over, and soon fell asleep again.

The plane took off quickly and landed in City A in three or four hours.

As soon as he got off the plane, Mr. Fang's cell phone signal was restored, and it was at this time that Johnson called him.

Mr. Fang glanced at Fang Yan and found that he was still sleeping, so he answered the phone: "Hello, didn't I tell you to..."

Johnson interrupted Mr. Fang anxiously: "Something happened! The operating room was smashed!"

Mr. Fang's heart suddenly jumped up, his eyes almost popped out, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

The author has something to say:

Fang Sheng: Hehe, unexpected?

Let me tell you a scary thing. When I was updating this chapter, I accidentally copied it three times. It scared me! Luckily I checked it before posting qaq otherwise I would have to kneel down today
