Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife

Chapter 76 Buried Deep in His Heart

The atmosphere in the living room became more and more serious.

Shang Yan’s expression was unsightly. He tried hard to suppress his emotions and wanted to rebuke Grandpa Shang, but Qu Xiao pressed on his hand and told him not to speak.

After all, Shang Yan was Grandpa Shang’s biological grandson. If he chose to defend her now and go against Grandpa Shang, it would only make the situation worse.

Qu Xiao thought for a moment, then stood up with a sincere expression and walked in front of Grandpa Shang.

She clasped her hands together and placed them in front of her. She said respectfully, “Grandpa Shang, I will not divorce Shang Yan. I have indeed done many wrong things in the past that affected the Shang family and your reputation. I apologize to you.”

“But I cannot agree to the two things discussed today.”

Seeing Qu Xiao’s attitude, Grandpa Shang was so angry that he called the butler to bring over the whip. The barbed vines were about to land on Qu Xiao’s back.

At this moment, Shang Yan grabbed Qu Xiao’s arm and hugged her in his arms.

Pa!

The soft whip hit Shang Yan’s body heavily. He groaned in pain and hugged Qu Xiao tightly.

Grandpa Shang did not expect him to run out. His eyes were filled with heartache as he yelled, “Why did you help her block it? Go get the doctor!”

Shang Yan looked up at the butler and shook his head. “No, I’m fine!”

Qu Xiao’s eyes were red. She was frightened and worried as she tugged at the hem of his clothes. She asked anxiously, “Are you okay?”

Shang Yan gently stroked her cheek and shook his head to reveal a smile. Then, he turned to look at Grandpa Shang and said, “Grandfather, Qu Xiao wants to return to school because of me. She wants to get into A University so that she can help treat my leg disease. You shouldn’t treat her like this.”

Grandpa Shang was stunned. He sized up Qu Xiao. At this moment, her face was filled with anxiety and worry that could not be faked.

“All these years, you’ve helped me find many doctors and specialists to treat me, but none of them were able to help me regain the mobility of my legs.”

“I didn’t want to make you worry, so I pretended to be indifferent. I’ve often told you that I don’t mind being in a wheelchair forever, that I didn’t care. But in reality, I care a lot! I also want to be able to stand up again…”

A crack appeared on Shang Yan’s usually calm and composed face as he continued speaking with a slightly trembling voice, “On the surface, the shareholders and directors of the group seem to be very respectful to me, but in private, they secretly gossip about my legs and call me a cripple.”

“Grandpa, I’m just pretending not to know! I don’t want to make my family feel bad for

me.”

Shang Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Grandpa Shang and said slowly, “I’ve tried countless times to to be able to stand up again, but I always failed.”

“It was Qu Xiao who gave me back some hope. She desperately looked for all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and methods to help me. She even helped me with acupuncture. Some time ago, I felt something in my legs. Even if it was just a little bit, I was so excited!”

Shang Yan paused for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and raised his thin lips, “Grandfather, I have never begged you before.”

“But this time, even if it’s for me, can you let Qu Xiao do what she wants to do?”

Shang Yan was the Shang family’s most outstanding heir.

Whether it was his business mindset or problem-solving skills, Grandpa Shang was proud of him.

The accident many years ago had caused Shang Yan to completely seal his heart. He had never been willing to show weakness to outsiders.

No one had expected that today, he would be willing to talk about the pain that he had buried for so long for Qu Xiao in front of Grandpa Shang.

Grandpa Shang no longer resisted. He waved his hand and said in an extremely soft voice, “You two can go.”

Qu Xiao stood rooted to the ground in a daze. She only regained her senses when Shang Yan held her hand.

On the way home, Qu Xiao bit her red lips silently. Seeing her scared expression, he poked her cheek with his finger and asked softly, “Scared?”

Qu Xiao shook her head, feeling depressed. She leaned her head on Shang Yan’s shoulder and fiddled with his fingertips uneasily, muttering weakly, “I originally wanted to express my goodwill to grandfather so that he would like me. But I seem to have made things worse. This time, grandfather will probably hate me, hate me for making his favorite grandson speak up against him.”

When Shang Yan heard her words, his eyes were cold as he ruffled her hair.

“It’s alright. You don’t have to please anyone on purpose. As long as I like you, it’s enough.”

Shang Yan leaned over and planted a kiss on Qu Xiao’s forehead. He curled his thin lips and looked out of the window.
