The subtle movement of Grandpa Xia caught Shen Jianyi's eye.
It seemed that there was an inextricable connection between Grandma Xia's actions and Grandpa Xia's coma this time.
She thought for a while, then put her hand on Xia Liang's shoulder. "Xia Liang, you go out first. I still need to check Grandpa's body."
"Okay."
Xia Liang naturally couldn't have wished for it more.
She trusted Shen Jianyi's medical skills!
She pushed Grandma Xia and the others out of the room.
After that, only Shen Jianyi and Grandpa Xia were left in the room.
"Yiyi, thank you."
Grandpa Xia said softly, looking lovingly at the stunning young girl in front of him. "I'm very relieved that Xia Xia has a friend like you. If I die in the future, please take care of her for me."
He had lived for several decades. Life and death were just ordinary things to him.
The only thing he couldn't bear to part with was his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, don't worry. You're in good health and will live for several more decades."
Shen Jianyi helped him pull out the silver needles and comforted him with a smile.
After packing up the silver - needle bag, she sat down beside Grandpa Xia's bed.
"I'd like to ask why you fainted. According to reason, the medicine I gave you is mild and non - irritating. It shouldn't have caused such a situation."
Hearing Shen Jianyi's question, the smile on Grandpa Xia's face disappeared.
He waved his hand, clearly not wanting to bring it up.
"Grandpa, I know this is your family matter, but let me butt in. Are you protecting others like this because you're afraid that Xia Liang will get hurt?"
As soon as Shen Jianyi finished asking, Grandpa Xia's expression stiffened slightly.
"If I'm not wrong, did Xia Liang's mother say something to you?"
Shen Jianyi continued to press on.
If Grandma Xia had done something to Grandpa Xia, and she left today, Grandma Xia would surely not give up and would continue to target Grandpa Xia.
Grandpa Xia's eyes were a bit moist.
He took a few deep breaths and looked at Shen Jianyi with his cloudy eyes.
After a moment, as if he had made a major decision, he heaved a heavy sigh and said, "I didn't want to mention this again, but since you're Xia Xia's friend, I don't want to hide it from you."
"Grandpa, if there's anything I can help with, just tell me."
Although she and Xia Liang were master and apprentice, their relationship was actually like that of sisters.
In other words, she also regarded Grandpa Xia as her own grandfather.
Moreover, Grandpa Xia was an upright man with a straightforward life. He really shouldn't waste his life because of the family infighting.
Outside the room, Xia Liang was waiting anxiously.
It wasn't until almost half an hour later that Shen Jianyi came out of the room.
"Yiyi, how's my grandpa?"
Xia Liang ran over and asked anxiously.
"It's okay. Just take the medicine on time. He'll be fine."
Patting Xia Liang's hand, Shen Jianyi comforted her.
Only then did Xia Liang feel relieved and ran into the room to see Grandpa Xia.
Grandma Xia gave Shen Jianyi a deep look and was about to enter the room when Shen Jianyi stopped her.
"Aunt Xia, can we have a talk?"
"What do I have to talk to Mrs. Lu about?"
Grandma Xia said with a fake smile. "If it's about thanking you, I'll send someone to the Lu family to express my gratitude in person later. It's getting late now. Please go back, Mrs. Lu. We're too busy here to entertain you."
Between the lines, there was nothing but unwelcoming.
If it weren't for her, the old man would have been dead by now.
It was all because of this Shen Jianyi that her plan had been ruined!
"Aunt Xia only has Xia Liang as her daughter, right?"
Shen Jianyi wasn't angry. She looked at her with a somewhat ambiguous smile in her cold eyes.
"Why do you ask this?"
Grandma Xia's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Shen Jianyi suspiciously.
"If Xia Liang knew that her mother was harmful to her grandpa, what do you think her mood would be? Aunt Xia, the wealth of the Xia family is inexhaustible for generations. Why do you have to push things to the extreme?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
Grandma Xia stubbornly continued to pretend not to understand.
"Don't understand, huh?"
Shen Jianyi sneered twice. "You incited Xia Liang's father to call Grandpa and said those things. You know better than anyone else about Grandpa Xia's physical condition. Don't tell me you don't know anything about his health at all."
"..."
Just as Grandma Xia was about to speak, Xia Liang came out of the room. Looking at the expressions on Shen Jianyi and Grandma Xia's faces and the cold atmosphere outside, she also sensitively sensed something was wrong.
"Yiyi?"
Xia Liang looked at Shen Jianyi in confusion.
"It's okay. It's getting late. I'll go back first."
Smiling at Xia Liang, Shen Jianyi turned around and left.
Just as she walked out of the Xia family's mansion, a familiar Brabus stopped at the door.
The heavy mood dissipated a little. Shen Jianyi skillfully opened the car door and got in.
"Why did you come?"
She thought Lu Jinsheng would wait for her at home. She didn't expect him to learn to pick her up.
"I'm worried about you."
Lu Jinsheng said with a smile. He fastened her seat - belt for her and then stroked her head. "Is the matter solved?"
"Half - solved, I guess. Grandpa's body is temporarily okay."
"Half?"
Lu Jinsheng raised his eyebrows, a bit confused about what she meant.
Shen Jianyi wearily stretched and her expression became solemn again.
"Someone recommended a chip to the Xia Corporation. Xia Liang's father wanted to buy a batch of chips, but Grandpa Xia disagreed. The two of them had an argument."
She briefly skimmed over the details and didn't mention the fact that Grandma Xia had incited Xia Liang's father to call Grandpa Xia.
After all, this was the Xia family's private matter. She just hoped that Grandma Xia could understand her threat and stop doing anything that would harm Grandpa Xia and Xia Liang.
Hearing Shen Jianyi mention the chip, the smile on Lu Jinsheng's face gradually faded.
"Wasn't the chip found? Why is it still circulating on the market?"
"I don't know."
Shen Jianyi also frowned. "Xu Wenji has been found. Logically, the chip should have been taken back by the professors. There shouldn't be new chips circulating on the market."
Unless... the traitor hadn't been found and the chip hadn't been retrieved either...
A sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart. Shen Jianyi impatiently pounded on the car window.
"I have to find the person who's selling the chip."
Her intuition told her that this matter definitely wasn't over.
It was very likely that the person selling the chip was Xu Wenji's accomplice, and it was he who had conspired with Xu Wenji to frame her and get her expelled from the organization.
"Since the chip is still circulating on the market, the seller must have approached more than just the Xia family. It's very likely that other enterprises in Shencheng are also on his target list."
Now that such a thing had happened to Grandpa Xia, it was highly probable that the Xia family wouldn't buy the chip anymore.
The Lu Corporation definitely wouldn't buy it either...
Suddenly, a person popped into Shen Jianyi's mind.
"Lu Jinsheng, how's Lu Weiran's business going?"
