"My health condition doesn't seem to be any of Mr. Pei's business." Lin Man felt helpless, as they were clearly divorced.

Pei Yan was unmoved. "I was the one who saved you. If you were paralyzed here, wouldn't I be jointly responsible?"

Pei Yan handed over a spoonful of medicine. Lin Man felt that this action was too intimate. She turned her head away and refused to drink the medicine in Pei Yan's bowl. "You ask Xiaojun to come and help me."

"Well......"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Man's eyes widened, and a bitter feeling that rushed straight to the top of his head swept through his entire mouth and spread wantonly.

"Swallow." Pei Yan said.

Lin Man's face wrinkled into a ball, and she swallowed the medicine while suppressing the bitter feeling of nausea. "I would have swallowed it without you telling me." She hadn't finished her words.

A candied fruit was put into his mouth, and Pei Yan's dark eyes stared at Lin Man, "You almost fell and became cerebral palsy, yet you still talk so much."

There was some disdain in his tone, but he still took out a pack of paper from his coat pocket and threw it to Lin Man.

Bitterness and sweetness surrounded Lin Man's mouth layer by layer, sweeping all over her body, "What did you feed me?" Lin Man looked up at Pei Yan, and she had already guessed in her heart that it was a piece of candy.

She just didn't want to admit easily that this was something Pei Yan could do. It turned out that a cold man like him could also do such a thing. It just depended on whether he wanted to do it or not.

"Poison." Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man.

The next moment, a spoonful of bitter medicine was brought to Lin Man's mouth again, and he said, "Open your mouth."

"I'll do it myself." Lin Man turned her head awkwardly and took the medicine bowl from Pei Yan's hand. The bitter taste rushed straight to her nose and she raised her head to drink it all.

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man and handed the bowl of candied fruit to her, but Lin Man waved her hand. She would rather die of bitterness than eat Pei Yan's candied fruit. The greasy sweet feeling was not suitable for her.

After drinking the medicine, Lin Man originally thought Pei Yan was about to leave, but the next moment, he said in a cold voice, waving his hand, "Bring the person in."

He Sheng walked in, and a man knelt on the ground. Lin Man frowned and looked at the man in front of her in confusion, "Is it you?"

"Ms. Lin, I will never dare to do it again. I was bewildered and had the guts to retaliate against you. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

The man looked very embarrassed, but Lin Man thought what he said was ridiculous. "So, because I refused to let you kiss me in front of everyone, you held a grudge against me and tampered with my protective measures, hoping to make me fall and become paralyzed. Then you are satisfied?"

The man knelt on the ground and denied it flatly, "No, no, no! I never thought about it that way. I just wanted to teach you a lesson..." He paused, "I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. I was just bewildered for a moment."

The man wanted very much to gain Lin Man's forgiveness to reduce his sentence, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Pei Yan waved his hand, and He Sheng nodded and ordered the bodyguards to drag the man away.

"Are you satisfied?" Pei Yan said lightly.

"What?" Lin Man was stunned by Pei Yan's words. How could she be satisfied when she was almost paralyzed?

"Mr. Pei, are you sure it's him?" Lin Man looked at Pei Yan with suspicion.

His face darkened, "Are you questioning my level?"

Lin Man quickly denied, "That's not the case. I'm just worried that Boss Pei will protect the real murderer like before and abuse his privileges to let the real murderer go unpunished. He will just find someone to get rid of me. After all, that's Gan Yuxi's sister. She's great."

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan with squinted eyes, as if mocking him, but he didn't say anything.

Pei Yan stood up and pressed down on Lin Man's legs which were hung and tied in the air. Lin Man immediately gasped, broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and was about to curse.

Pei Yan said, "She is not as great as you. You can send Pei's company to the hot search by yourself. My stock market has fallen for three consecutive days. How can I settle this account?"

Of course, they would go find the culprit to settle the matter. No matter how they calculated, it wouldn't be Lin Man's fault.

Pei Yan stood up to answer the phone, Lin Man listened silently. Pei Yan's tone was very gentle. The last time Lin Man heard such a gentle tone was when Pei Yan first met Gan Tian. At that time, he wanted so much that he wanted the stars but not the moon. Now, she really couldn't guess who it was.

She took a sip of water. She thought that he must have met his lover somewhere again. It was better this way so that he wouldn't bother her again.

After Pei Yan hung up the phone, he saw Lin Man's eyes on his phone. He raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you interested in my phone?"

Lin Man was speechless, not understanding how Pei Yan could sense that, "You disturbed my rest."

Pei Yan seemed to be unable to hear Lin Man's words. He put down his phone and raised his eyebrows and said, "The video of you getting injured on the set was uploaded to the Internet. Mom saw it and said she wanted to come see you. I helped you refuse."

Lin Man remained silent, took a sip from the paper cup in her hand, and said, "Hmm."

Pei Yanduan looked at Lin Man's shy attitude and asked, "Why, do you want to cut off your relationship with the Pei family so much?"

Lin Man didn't understand where Pei Yan's words came from. She wanted to clear herself of the matter, but could she? Everyone in the industry knew that she and Pei Yan had married and divorced, and they would never be able to clear themselves of the matter.

"It was you who rejected my aunt." Lin Man didn't want to take the blame.

Pei Yan said nothing. He glanced at Lin Man with his dark eyes, then left with the thermos. Lin Man looked at his back in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to do.

The next moment, the phone rang, and Lin Man picked up the phone and condemned: "Xiaojun, you are an undercover sent by Pei Yan to my inner circle, right? You have no loyalty at all, and you are so confident to throw me to Pei Yan?"

When Xiaojun heard Lin Man's voice, he immediately put away his playful smile, "Man Man, swear to God! It's not that I don't want to accompany you, but I can't go out at all! They won't let us go."

"What's going on?" Lin Man was confused.

Xiaojun said, "Manman, you don't know yet! As soon as you were sent to the ambulance that day, our group was immediately blocked and isolated! Everyone's cell phone was collected. Gan Tian didn't want to hand it over and was clamoring to see President Pei! She called President Pei five or six times in front of He Sheng, but President Pei didn't answer any of them!"

"That's wishful thinking on her part. Boss Pei was accompanying you to the hospital at that time, so he didn't have time to see her!"

Lin Man listened to Xiaojun's nonsensical words and asked, "What happened next?"

"What happened next? Later, Gan Tian still refused to hand over her phone and kept clamoring to call her brother, who seemed to be calling..."

Lin Man: "Jiang Xuzhi."

"Oh, yes! It was Jiang Xuzhi. Jiang Xuzhi was very angry at first, but when he heard that this matter was related to you, he asked Gan Tian to cooperate with the investigation and then hung up the phone! Pfft! Gan Tian even turned on the speakerphone when she called. Now everyone knows it."
