Ye Ningwan opened her mouth, about to say something, but Ye Ruoxin suddenly rushed over crying and knelt down in front of Old Master Pei, interrupting Ye Ningwan's words.

"Grandpa Pei, it's all my fault. Please, please don't punish Wanwan. She has suffered so much outside all these years. If you must punish someone, punish me instead!"

Ye Ningwan looked at Ye Ruoxin speechlessly and rolled her eyes.

"You've said all the nice things and the mean things, what are you pretending to be all high and mighty for? Nobody in the Pacific can act as high and mighty as you! Do you really think this old man is blind?"

Ye Ruoxin looked up, her face streaked with tears and a hurt expression, and choked out her aggrieved sobs.

"Wanwan, I'm only trying to help you! If you mess around and fail to heal Ninth Master's hand, do you know what the consequences will be? I've done so much for you, how can you scold me like this!"

At this moment, Ye Ruoxin was like a small white flower trembling incessantly in the wind on a cliff.

Ye Ningwan chuckled.

"Dad, are you going to let Ye Ruoxin waste your time any longer?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Pei's face darkened, and he angrily shouted.

"Enough! Shut up, all of you!"

Ye Ningwan fell silent, and Ye Ruoxin sobbed, not daring to say anything more.

The next moment, Old Master Pei waved his hand and gave a cold order.

"take away!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoxin was overjoyed, but she concealed the smile on her lips by wiping away her tears.

Sure enough, after her outburst, Old Master Pei will definitely punish Ye Ningwan severely!

Not everyone can tolerate the Pei family's rules!

But when the bodyguards appeared, the person who was dragged away was not Ye Ningwan, but Ye Ruoxin!

"Miss Ye, please forgive me!"

Ye Ruoxin's smug expression froze, and she struggled and screamed in disbelief.

"Why, Grandpa Pei... why did you arrest me?"

Old Master Pei gave her a cold glance, his sharp tiger eyes devoid of any emotion.

Ye Ningwan, who was standing to the side, chuckled softly and reminded her.

"Weren't you just saying, all lovey-dovey, that you were willing to take any punishment for me? The old man is granting your wish, shouldn't you be very happy?"

She tilted her head and asked innocently.

"Or are you just saying that?"

Ye Ruoxin opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

How could she have known that Old Master Pei would act so unpredictably?!

Ye Ruoxin subconsciously looked towards the doorway, which was filled with members of the Pei family, but after searching repeatedly for a long time, she couldn't find even one person from the eldest branch of the family, let alone Pei Minghan!

She was terrified, wondering what had happened to the eldest branch of the Pei family, when she was dragged away by the bodyguards without any mercy.

Ye Ningwan gave the bodyguard a thumbs-up as he left, sincerely praising him.

"The people around Dad are really well-trained, they're just like Dad!"

Old Master Pei gave Ye Ningwan a cold glance and lectured her in an annoyed tone.

"I can see that you have some genuine feelings for Lao Jiu. While the old man is away, you will take care of Lao Jiu closely and are not allowed to leave his side for even a moment. As for your matter, I will teach you a lesson when I get back!"

This is how Old Master Pei has made her atone for her crimes by performing good deeds.

Putting aside the fact that Old Master Pei wasn't exactly bad to her, the fact that he slapped Ye Ruoxin's face just now made Ye Ningwan's goodwill towards him skyrocket.

She smiled and assured her.

"Don't worry, when you come back, I will definitely return Pei Fengzhi to you in perfect condition!"

Although Old Master Pei heard Ye Ningwan say this, he still didn't really trust her. He just didn't feel comfortable entrusting her to anyone else, so he gave Ye Ningwan a cold warning with a stern face.

"Ye Ningwan, the Pei family can crush you like an ant! Don't even think about trying anything funny, otherwise..."

In that instant, a bloodthirsty light flashed in Old Master Pei's eyes, like a tiger unleashed from its cage.

Before Old Master Pei could finish speaking, Pei Fengzhi's helpless voice rang out.

"Dad, Wanwan is timid, don't scare her."

Grandpa Pei glared at his son and snorted in annoyance.

"You're already protecting your wife on the very first day of your marriage, you little brat! You've forgotten your father now that you have a wife!"

As he spoke, Old Master Pei didn't waste any time and left angrily, leaning on his cane.

Before leaving, he also chased away the group of Pei family members who were gathered at the door.

The Pei family members were not truly there for Pei Fengzhi. They came partly to find out if Pei Fengzhi was really disabled, and partly to put on a show of brotherly affection in front of Old Master Pei. Now that Old Master Pei was personally kicking them out, they naturally didn't want to stay in this hospital full of germs any longer.

However, each department still secretly sent people to keep an eye on the hospital.

...

The door closed, leaving only Ye Ningwan and Pei Fengzhi in the ward.

Ye Ningwan was finally able to sit down and properly examine Pei Fengzhi's wounds.

Although she knew the man was seriously injured, Ye Ningwan's eyes still reddened when she saw the hand that was severed in two.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

Pei Fengzhi chuckled, interrupting Ye Ningwan's impending apology.

"It wasn't you who said it. They came for me. Even without you, Aunt Li would have found a way to kill me or cripple me!"

When he spoke his last sentence, even though Pei Fengzhi's voice was gentle, the cold glint beneath his dark, double pupils was chilling.

Fortunately, Ye Ningwan was focused on his severed hand and did not notice these things.
