“Good, good, good!” Chen Wei was about to cry tears of joy.

In the past, he was publicly acknowledged as a wastrel in the family. Even his biological father did not dare to hand over important things to him. However, Shi Man was willing to give him this opportunity to prove himself. Other than gratitude, he felt a trace of warmth.

In the past, he was such a bastard that no one was willing to believe him now.

However, after experiencing so much and such a huge disaster in the city, he really wanted to contribute. He didn’t want to be a useless hedonistic son again.

Even if Shi Man really asked him to do construction now, he could put down his pride and do it.

Shi Man’s work at the scene was now in Jiao Kai’s hands. When Shi Man investigated the mastermind behind the commotion, she discovered this person’s merits and arranged for him to supervise the scene.

Jiao Kai had been in this line of work for many years and lacked a chance to stand out. Now that Shi Man was so confident in him, he had long been loyal to her.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Wei, who was also introduced by Shi Man at the construction site, he immediately felt a little happy. He did not despise his young age at all and brought him to familiarize himself with the work at the event location like a mature senior.

At night, Shi Man still came to the hospital. The nurses in the hospital did not contact her for the entire day, which proved that no one had come to the ward today.

She gently pushed open the ward door and saw Yi Ming sleeping soundly on the bed.

She walked to the bed expressionlessly and glanced at the bedside table. Her nose twitched slightly, but she did not notice the strange fragrance in the morning. Just as her slender fingers raised to reach the drawer, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at the woman who had appeared at the head of the bed in horror. He was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. His turbid eyes were filled with coldness. “What are you doing?”

Shi Man sneered and said calmly, “I saw that you were sleeping too soundly, so 1 wanted to test your breathing.”

“I’m not dead yet.” Yi Ming glared at her angrily. He leaned against the head of the bed and instructed her, “Go get me a glass of water.”

Shi Man did not deliberately make things difficult for him this time. She poured a cup of tea nimbly, but when he reached out to take it, she suddenly retracted her hand.

Yi Ming raised his head and glared at her coldly without saying a word.

Shi Man slowly took out a white pill from her pocket and threw it into the cup in front of him. She shook her wrist gently before handing it to him. “Here, Eldest Grandpa, please have some tea.”

Yi Ming stared at him with a dark gaze. His lips were purple with anger. “How dare you poison me?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Shi Man sent the cup forward again and said, “Eldest Grandpa, do you want to drink tea or listen to me?”

Yi Ming let out a long sigh and looked away angrily. He narrowed his eyes and said, “What do you want to say?”

Shi Man didn’t stand on ceremony with him and asked bluntly, “Yi Zheng’s grandfather passed away back then. Why didn’t he leave any rights to you?”

Yi Ming had just thought of a reason to brush Shi Man off and fool her about discovering the medicine, but he never expected her to ask about this!

His pupils suddenly constricted, and Yi Ming’s lips trembled. It was unknown what memories he had recalled, but his face suddenly turned pale.

Shi Man frowned and suddenly reached out to hold his wrist. Realizing that there was really something wrong with his heart and he was not pretending, she hurriedly took out the silver needles she carried with her to treat him.

Half an hour later, Yi Ming returned to normal. His entire body was covered in a thin layer of sweat. The wet sweat stuck to his white beard, and his muddy eyes were filled with pain. “You, why did you mention this? This has nothing to do with you.”

“I’m just wondering what you did to Yi Zheng’s grandfather back then to make him hate you so much.”

Shi Man lowered her eyes slightly and pulled out the silver needle. Her tone was so relaxed, as if she was not discussing other people’s secrets, but casually chatting with him.

When Yi Ming saw the needle, his eyes widened in shock. “You know medicine!”

“I just know a little.” Shi Man slowly sat back on the sofa and took a sip of the teacup she had given Yi Ming.

Yi Ming widened his eyes and pointed at her. “What you drank just now was…”

“You’ve never taken vitamins?” Shi Man played with the exquisite porcelain teacup in her hand with a playful expression and said slowly, “1 just wanted to test you just now. Now, I already know the answer. Thank you.”

“What do you know!”

Yi Ming barely propped himself up, but because of the pain in his heart, he still fell heavily back onto the bed and looked at the ceiling above his head, panting.

Shi Man smiled faintly and said, “I know a lot of things I shouldn’t know. It depends on which mistake you made. Why don’t we talk about old matters first?”

Yi Ming coldly retracted his gaze and looked up. His voice was hoarse. “I don’t believe you. If you really knew everything, you wouldn’t be sitting here chatting with me. You’re just trying to get information from me now..”
