After Shi Man finished dealing with the school at night, she went to the hospital to see Yi Ming as usual.
Ever since Yi Che’s accident last time, Yi Ming had completely mellowed.
Yi Che’s matter had completely offended Yi Long and his wife. Even if he wanted to continue causing trouble, he would not have the cheek to do so. Therefore, when Shi Man appeared on the sofa in the ward as if she could not be bothered with him, Yi Ming finally sighed in compromise and waved his hand to stop Shi Man from coming again.
Shi Man was happy to be free. Almost the moment Yi Ming compromised, she left the ward with the freshly peeled apple. She took a bite and instructed the chauffeur to go to the hospital where Yi Zheng was.
In the previous car accident, Yi Zheng was seriously injured, so Lu Xiang had always been worried about letting Yi Zheng be discharged. Now, she would personally come to the ward to accompany Yi Zheng every day. When he was dealing with official matters, she would watch dramas at the side of the bed.
Shi Man walked to the door of the ward and heard Shi He’s voice from inside. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the sound from the television. She smiled helplessly and pushed the door open.
When Lu Xiang saw her, she hurriedly turned off the video and pulled her to sit beside her with a smile. “Have you had dinner? Eldest Grandfather didn’t make things difficult for you today, did he?”
Shi Man shook her head gently and said, “No, he told me not to go again.”
Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her expression turned cold. “He knows that his biological grandson had done something wrong to us, so he’s embarrassed to continue interfering.”
Shi Man smiled magnanimously and comforted her. “Auntie, no matter what he thinks, as long as they don’t hurt you in the future, 1 won’t take it to heart.”
When Lu Xiang heard this, she was immediately moved to tears. She kept praising Shi Man for being sensible.
However, what she did not know was that Shi Man was not bullied by Yi Ming. Instead, she had to make Yi Ming unhappy every time she went. She believed that if she went a few more times, Yi Ming’s heart disease would probably not recover.
Yi Zheng leaned against the bed with a smile. As he cooperated with the doctor to check the wound, he glanced sideways and peeped at the scene of Shi Man and his mother chatting happily.
After the doctors finished their examination and left the ward, Yi Zheng leaned back against the bed and waved at Shi Man with a smile. “Come to me. I have something for you.”
Shi Man stood up and looked at Lu Xiang. After receiving her approval, she walked towards Yi Zheng and asked with a smile, “You still have something for me in the ward? Don’t tell me you’re giving me the medicine you want to take?” “What are you thinking?” Yi Zheng pulled her to sit down in amusement. Then, he took out a key from the bedside table and gently placed it in her hand.
Shi Man’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at the key with a complicated expression.
Yi Zheng didn’t give her a chance to escape. He smiled and said, “Matrimonial house. Although we’re not officially engaged, we still have to prepare what needs to be prepared in advance. This is the manor I chose before. Go and see if you like it.”
“If you like it, 1’11 find a renovation team to come over. You can negotiate with them personally and design the manor as you want. This isn’t something that can be done overnight. It’s always good to prepare in advance, right?”
When Yi Zheng said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a probing smile.
Shi Man took the heavy key and weighed it in her hand for a long time before nodding. “Alright, I’ll go take a look.”
She turned her head and her gaze naturally landed on the neat documents at the side. She sighed softly. “You have to rest more and recuperate before you can return to the company as soon as possible. You should know what’s more important.”
“I know the severity. I’m not tired. Don’t worry.” Yi Zheng pinched her hand and rubbed it repeatedly. He pointed at the medical record on the bedside table and said, “The doctor said that I can be discharged soon, but I’m afraid 1’11 have to sit in a wheelchair for a period of time. You can’t despise me.”
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh. She raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased, “That’s not necessarily the case. If 1 despise you and run away, I’m afraid you won’t be able to catch up to me with your legs.”
“Is that so? Even if you run to the horizon, I’ll catch you and make you marry me obediently.” Yi Zheng stared at her with a burning gaze, making it impossible to tell if he was joking or serious.
However, this was not important. Shi Man had no intention of running. She still had many important things to do in G City.
The night wind was a little cold. Shi Man stood on the terrace and looked down. She could see the lights in the Shi family’s courtyard and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
The two accidents of the explosion and car accident were actually very likely targeted at Yi Zheng. If that was the case, the person behind this matter would switch to another person in the Yi family to deal with.
Who would be the next to stand up and court death?
While she was in a daze, a figure suddenly flashed past.
Shi Man’s eyes turned cold. She turned her head warily, but the moment she saw Shi He, her body relaxed.. “Brother, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
