Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Standing in Front of You

Under the bright light, Pei Yicheng focused on his work as if it were something very, very important, striving for perfection in every step.

After an unknown amount of time, when Pei Yicheng had finished mounting the painting, he looked at it with great satisfaction, his slightly curved eyes sparkling like brilliant stars.

The next day.

Cheng Hao took the opportunity of delivering breakfast early to glimpse at the painting Pei Yicheng had finished mounting. He shook his head and said, "Tsk, tsk, just as Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes, it seems paintings are no exception."

Yesterday, it was just a piece of paper; the painting looked rather ordinary. But today, upon a careful look, especially after it’s been properly mounted and covered with a layer of glass, it seems the artistic conception has been elevated several notches. Looking closely, the painting actually seems quite impressive.

"Not only does Sister-in-law write beautifully, but her paintings are also beautiful."

No sooner had Ling Dong said this than Cheng Hao, who had just taken a sip of soymilk, sprayed it all out. He looked at Ling Dong incredulously and said, "Ling Dong, you’re too..." Such a brownnoser!

"Are you saying Sister-in-law’s painting isn’t good?" Ling Dong asked, raising his eyebrows while taking a big bite of his meat bun, juice and filling abundant. With one bite, the savory taste of the meat spread through his mouth, delightfully flavorful.

"Cough!"

In his heart, Cheng Hao cursed Ling Dong for being sly and shameless—a real sycophant!

"Brother Cheng, of course Sister-in-law’s painting is good, exceptionally good!"

As if to prove his point, Cheng Hao wished he could swear to the heavens.

Pei Yicheng withdrew his gaze, contentedly admiring the painting as if he could never get enough.

...

"Yicheng, you just focus on healing your leg here, I’ll head back first," Du Chang said, his heart filled with joy seeing his grandson’s leg gaining more sensation day by day.

His leg’s recovery made Du Chang happy, and as the heavy stone in his heart was lifted, he couldn’t help but worry about the family’s clinic back home.

After the New Year, they had not opened, or more precisely, had not seen patients. Du Chang felt uneasy at the thought that they might encounter someone who needed urgent medical care.

"Grandpa, don’t worry about going back. In a few months, I will definitely be standing in front of you," Pei Yicheng said confidently, then turned to Cheng Hao and instructed, "Haozi, drive carefully and don’t jostle Grandpa."

"Brother Cheng, rest assured, I’ll make sure Grandpa gets home safely," Cheng Hao promised, thumping his chest. Just as they were about to leave, a familiar yet foreign voice came from outside.

"Pei Yicheng is in this ward."

"Thank you."

A nurse led Pei Guozhong and Wan Hongxing to the doorway of the ward.

Pei Yicheng’s face darkened instantly, his gaze sweeping towards Cheng Hao in a flash.

Cheng Hao’s heart shocked, he looked guilty, not knowing how Uncle Pei had found out where they were.

"Uh, Brother Cheng, I’ll go check the car," he said quickly.

Cheng Hao retreated hastily, and at the doorway, he managed a greeting with a forced smile, "Uncle Pei, Aunt Wan, I... I have to take Grandpa back to South City, so I’ll be going now."

Cheng Hao fled swiftly as if afraid that lingering would result in a severe scolding from Brother Cheng.

He truly was more wronged than Dou E; he had only mentioned it to Little Yining, not to Uncle Pei.

As soon as Pei Guozhong entered the room, he saw his son, whom he hadn’t seen in a year, and his son’s downturned face.

The ungrateful kid!

I travel a thousand miles to see you, and you still show me such a face!

As Pei Guozhong’s inner fury rose, someone tugged at his sleeve. Glancing aside, he saw Wan Hongxing’s gentle eyes. In his mind, he recalled the words she had spoken on the way, "Xiaocheng is still a child; as his father, he should be more understanding!"
