C26 (1/2)

After returning home, Qi Qi first told Gao Cheng about the good news, but of course she concealed the part of the invitation she had given to Jia Kun, afraid that Gao Cheng would be worried. She only said that she met him at Grandma Xu's place, and the two of them chatted along the way.

Although it could be said to be a personal investment, as the successor of the Jia family, the personal assets that Jia Yu had were naturally considerable. Just a little was enough for them to expand their business.

Gao Cheng didn't think too much of it, perhaps because what Qi Qi Qi had said was too true, but after dinner, he went into the study room full of fighting spirit and said that he must come up with a perfect plan to let Jia Kun know that the investment was worth it.

However, he was also excited that his career could start anew. When he was busy with his work, it was inevitable that his attention would be reduced by a few points, and with the addition of the fact that he had always been in good health, Gao Cheng didn't tell him to rest as much as he did in the beginning.

Because she knew that her time was limited, she felt that she didn't have enough every day. She would often secretly help Gao Cheng solve some problems, paving the way for her to walk in the future. During this period of time, her body was completely overloaded, and as time passed, her body would naturally send out a warning.

On the night that she and Jia Kun returned from dinner, 77 finished counting the sales in the store this month and made a statement analyzing the sales of each product. Just as she was about to lift her head to loosen her tensed neck muscles, she felt the sky spin and before she lost consciousness, she heard a dull thud.

When she woke up again, she was already lying on the hospital bed. Although her consciousness was still blurry, she could feel an oxygen tube in her nose. If she had any strength left, she wanted to shake her head and sigh at Lin Daiyu's frail body.

However, the current her didn't even have the strength to shake her head, and the only thing that was powerful was her own pair of eyes. She slightly rolled her eyes and looked down at her arm, only to see that it was covered in blue and purple.

She was just about to check to see if there was anything wrong with her body when she heard someone opening the door and coming in. She didn't have time to turn around when she heard a surprised voice behind her.

”Seventh Brother, you're awake!”

Immediately followed by a flurry of footsteps, Qi Qi turned her head with difficulty, and what entered her eyes was the haggard appearance of Gao Cheng's beard.

”This child is scaring me to death. I already told you to take a good rest, but you had to wait so late to make the report. When can't I make the report? Is the report as important as your body?” He was not really angry with Qi Qi 7, but he was still upset with his own carelessness. Originally, he had promised to take care of Qi 7, but now that he was busy doing business, he actually forgot about this promise.

”Dad …” Qi Qi Qi knew what Gao Cheng was thinking and that she had fainted and scared him. She wanted to open her mouth to comfort Gao Cheng, but she found that her parched throat was actually in so much pain from just one word.

Seeing Qi Qi Jian's uncomfortable state, Gao Cheng hurriedly grabbed the cup on the bedside table and moistened her lips with a cotton stick. ”Don't talk for now, we've just woken up and have to rest up. The doctor said that we can't drink that much water yet, we can only moisten our lips bit by bit.”

As he spoke, Gao Cheng's voice was choked with sobs. This child was so sensible that it made his heart ache. He didn't even dare to recall the scene he saw when he opened the door to 7: 7 in the morning.

Because of this illness, the lively young lady who was brimming with youth had become thinner and thinner every day. She would even quietly fall down in the middle of the night.

”Dad, don't cry, I'm fine.”

It was only when 77 Qi reached out a trembling hand to wipe away the tears that had unknowingly fallen on his face that Gao Cheng realized that he was actually crying in front of his daughter.

He quickly stretched out his hand to wipe his face and tried to cover it up as he said, ”Don't speak nonsense. Why am I crying? It's just that the wind has been blowing, and my eyes are too dry.”

Seeing Gao Cheng pretending to be fine, Qi Qi Qi suddenly stopped pretending. Gao Cheng was afraid that she would feel bad, so he chose not to say anything about her illness. She was afraid that Gao Cheng would be sad, so she pretended she didn't know.

”Dad, don't worry, I'm not going to die yet. I have to see you succeed in your career, I want to see that high-spirited dad again, I don't want to wait until I die, you're fine, I don't want you to feel bad, I don't want …”

Gao Cheng's lips started to tremble the moment he heard ”die”. The more he listened, the more he couldn't suppress his emotions, and tears started to roll down his face. Finally, he held Seventh Brother tightly, pressing her head against his chest.

”You heartless little girl. Why would you have the heart to say such words? My old bones should always be walking in front of you. You're still so young, yet you still have a long road ahead of you.” Gao Cheng bit his lips because he didn't want to admit to his illness. It was unknown if he was lying to her or to himself.

”Dad, it's worth it to be your daughter in this life.”

Qi Qi didn't want to ask any more questions on this matter. She knew that Gao Cheng understood everything. If he wasn't ready to face the truth yet, then she would try her best to live on until he could accept it.

”Qi Qi, you scared me to death. How did you get into the hospital?”
