Seeing that Xiao Jincheng seemed very serious, Xuan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't know whether Grandpa Wan could cure his father, but as long as the Xiao family found Grandpa Wan, Mommy and Uncle Kai Feng would have a chance to know his whereabouts, and then he might be saved.

……

As soon as she returned to her room, Lilith smashed everything in the room like crazy. Whenever she thought of that bastard's smug look, she felt like a fire was burning in her heart.

Looking at the person in the shattered mirror, Lilith's eyes were like poisoned knives, and she wished she could gouge out Xuan'er's heart and flesh.

"Little bastard, it's useless even if you try to make Grandpa happy now. If you dare to mess with me, Lilith, I will definitely make you pay!"

Thinking about this, Lilith changed her clothes, asked someone to clean up her room, and went to Dawei's place.

Because the current "Xiao Mingyang" is moody and often does hurtful things, he is isolated in a separate room and someone delivers him meals every day.

Standing at the door, Lilith dismissed the guards, then opened the door and looked at the man lying on the bed with a bright smile.

"Mingyang, why don't you cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep? You'll catch a cold."

This sentence is a code between two people, indicating that there are no suspicious people around.

Standing up and looking at Lilith, Dawei said, "Have you been very busy lately? You haven't come to see me much?"

"I encountered some tricky things, which took up a lot of my time." Lilith put her arms around Dawei's naked upper body and put her cheek against it.

Gently stroking Lilith's cheek, Dawei said, "Don't tire yourself out, or I'll feel bad."

Dawei's words made Lilith's heart sweet. But thinking of that hateful little brat, Lilith's face darkened and she asked, "You... really don't remember who that kid was last time?"

Dawei shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know. Should I know him?"

Lilith quickly smiled and said, "It's only natural that you don't know him."

"Then why does he call me dad?"

Seeing Dawei's suspicious eyes, Lilith raised the corners of her mouth and said, "That was Grandpa testing you. Fortunately, you behaved well at that time, otherwise Grandpa would definitely doubt you. Look, now Grandpa is relieved, and we are safe."

Nodding thoughtfully, Dawei asked again, "Lilith, is the child okay? I was a little nervous at the time, so I might have hit him a little too hard."

Lilith was filled with hatred when Xuan'er was mentioned. She angrily said, "Don't worry, he's a big hit with Grandpa now. He's incredibly popular!"

Seeing that Lilith was angry, Dawei asked cautiously, "Grandpa likes him very much? Why?"

"How should I know!" Lilith said in an irritated tone, "I think Grandpa is just senile and confused. He's just a little brat. Is it worth all the effort?"

"Don't be angry. You said it was just a child. Why are you angry with a child?" Dawei held Lilith's hand and said in a gentle tone with a look that seemed to drown people. "You are here with great difficulty. Tell me about the situation outside."

Lilith was fed up with the intrigues outside, and Dawei's true love became particularly precious.

Nestled in Dawei's broad shoulders, Lilith's heart slowly calmed down. She hooked her hand on his chest and said, "Outside, it's still the same. The old subordinates of the Xiao family are pretending to obey Grandpa, but Grandpa also turns a blind eye to them. I don't know what Grandpa is still waiting for, but I can't wait any longer."

"I'm transferring the Xiao family's assets bit by bit, and even Grandpa can't tell. When Grandpa dies, even if he's on guard against me, the Xiao family will eventually fall into my hands!" Lilith looked up at Dawei and smiled, "Then we can be together openly."

Reaching out and caressing Lilith's rapidly thinning cheek, Dawei frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that Grandpa loves you so much that he would hand the Xiao family over to you? Why are you still going through all this trouble?"

Hearing this, Lilith's expression was sinister. She said, "That was before. Now I can't figure out what Grandpa is thinking. To protect myself, I decided to strike first! Mingyang, it won't be long before I control the Xiao family. Let's see who dares to defy me then!"

Dawei could sense the hostility in Lilith. He frowned and said, "Grandpa loves that child very much, but he also knows who is more important. Why would you do something dangerous just to get angry with a child?"

Looking up at Dawei, Lilith smiled and said, "I'm not angry, but I made this decision after careful consideration. In the Xiao family, if you're not careful, you'll be stepped on. I've seen a lot of similar things in the Xiao family. Nothing is set in stone. Instead of waiting for Grandpa to arrange my life for me, I might as well fight for it myself!"

Seeing that Lilith insisted on her opinion, Dawei was helpless and said nothing more. However, the hand he was holding Lilith suddenly trembled. He felt strange and wondered if his old illness had relapsed.

But when Dawei looked carefully, he found that the person shaking was Lilith, not himself.

Looking sideways at Lilith, Dawei frowned and asked, "Lilith, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

At this moment, Lilith's face was pale and her whole body was shivering, as if she was very cold.

But Lilith no longer had the strength to speak. She leaned on the sofa, her tongue stiff, her fingers tightly gripping the sofa, and her eyes red.

Dawei was very scared. He ran to the closet, took out a red bag and placed it in front of Lilith. Then he poured out everything inside and searched around, muttering, "Lilith, take a look. Are there any pills in here that you need?"

Lilith's mind was gradually slipping away, but among the pile of things, there was a red box that stood out. Lilith immediately recognized what it was and grabbed it excitedly, asking tremblingly, "How did you get this kind of cigarette here?"

Dawei was frightened by Lilith's appearance. He was a little at a loss and said, "This... This is the bag you left with me last time. I have been trying to find a chance to give it to you, but you have been busy recently."

Lilith no longer had time to listen to Dawei's explanation. She tore open the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. After lighting it, she took a few deep puffs.

Finally, Lilith seemed to come back to life, breathing gently with her eyes closed, and her whole body looked relaxed.

Dawei was a little scared. He looked at Lilith and asked softly, "You...what's wrong with you? Why did you become normal after smoking a cigarette?"

Dawei's words gave Lilith a start, and when she thought of the warning Join gave her, she seemed to have thought of something.
