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?"

The warmth in the ward was suddenly broken by this voice. Gao Cheng quickly wiped away the tears that kept pouring out. When he turned around, his face was already showing a guarded expression.

This was because the person who had come was none other than Shen Ting Luo who Qi Qi Qi had just met yesterday.

Shen Tingxiao completely ignored Gao Cheng's angry stare and walked up to the bed, pushing him away and starting to shed tears.

"Seventh, Seventh, what happened to you? You scared Mom to death! Yesterday, I saw that you were fine, I thought you were fine, but today, I just wanted to go see you, and I heard that you entered the hospital. You don't even know how scared Mom was, and I don't know how many red lights you ran on the way!"

He moved his fingers, trying his best to retract the hand that was held by Shen Ting. However, her body was weak to begin with, and she was so agitated just now, so she had already lost energy. After retracting a few times and failing to do so, she gave up.

Qi Qi leaned on the bed, coldly looked at Shen Ting who was crying as she played the role of a mother, not saying a word.

After Shen Tingxiao acted for a while and realized that no one was paying attention to her, he took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe his tears away. Her eyes looked around and she frowned when she realized that there were no flowers or fruit baskets.

"Qi Qi, you're already so sick, why didn't Mister Jia come to see you?"

Qi Qi gave a mocking smile. I knew it, with Shen Tingxiao's useless and unprofitable personality, why would he come to see her, this useless daughter? So she was planning on doing this. It's probably because of Jia Kun's face that she was so passionate yesterday.

"I'm not related to Mr. Jia in any way, why would he come to see me?"

"Why are they neither family nor friends? Mister Jia was eating with you yesterday, and I saw that you guys were chatting and laughing with each other. It's not that I'm talking about you, but you, ah, if you meet such a good man, you must seize this opportunity. It's better for girls to get married as soon as possible. "

Without waiting for a reply from Qi Qi Qi, Gao Cheng couldn't help but pull Shen Tingxiao over and sternly ask, "What do you mean, Qi Qi Qi is already so sick? It's enough for you to make such a ruckus by her bedside, don't bother affecting my daughter anymore!

At this moment, after being pulled so roughly, her heart was starting to feel angry. In addition, she had discovered the value of seventy percent of it, so naturally, she wanted to keep this daughter of hers by her side. As a result, she rolled her eyes, turned around, and forcefully pushed Gao Cheng away.

Because he was worried about seven or seven, he didn't get a good rest. Suddenly, he was pushed back a few steps before he managed to stand still.

"Your daughter!? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been separated at all. You aren't Qi Qi's biological father at all, so tell me, why are you trying so hard to catch hold of her and not let her go? "

"You!" Gao Cheng didn't expect Shen Tingxiao to be this shameless. He clearly said that he wouldn't reveal the truth to Qi Qi, but she actually revealed it so suddenly in front of Qi Qi Qi.

Gao Cheng hurriedly turned his head to look at Seventh Madame. He was worried that if she suddenly heard this, she wouldn't be able to take it anymore, especially since she had just woken up. Her body was weak in every aspect.

However, out of his expectations, Qi Qi Qi's face was calm, as if she hadn't heard about his background just now and had only heard about it from an insignificant weather forecast. Gao Cheng quickly understood that Qi Qi already knew the truth of the matter, which was why she didn't mention Shen Ting Luo after leaving the hospital for so long.

"Seven!?" Even though he understood what was going on in his heart, Gao Cheng was still a little worried for her. He was afraid that she would suppress her emotions, which would be bad for her body.

"Dad, I'm fine. I'm not blind, so I know who's sincere and who's faking it." Qi Qi Qi gave Gao Cheng a faint smile and gasped for breath as he said these words to ease his heart.

Gao Cheng looked at Qi Jian, who was struggling so hard, and felt a pang in his heart. It was all his fault for being useless, which was why Qi Seventh was still unable to rest in the hospital bed.

"Seven!" "How can you say that about mother? We used to be so happy together, I thought you understood mother's suffering."

If she had the strength, Qi Qi really wanted to roll her eyes at Shen Tingxiao. She still had the ability to pretend to be pitiful when things had already come to this point.

"You two, Miss Gao seems to need some rest right now. Why don't we go outside and have a chat so that Miss Gao can have a good rest?"

A faint voice sounded, instantly breaking the atmosphere in the ward.
