The driver opened the door on the passenger side.

Ji Chi thanked him politely, "Thank you."

Su's mother felt that her friend's son was too reserved. She asked him, "Is your mother in good health recently?"

Since the accident at Fang Qin's home, Fang Qin rarely contacted her.

"Very well, thank you for your concern." Ji Chi answered Su's mother's question in a serious manner.

"If you and your mother need any help, just ask. You're welcome." Su's mother thought of her friend's current situation. She felt sorry and distressed at the same time.

Fang Qin's husband's company went bankrupt, and later died in a car accident, leaving only a pile of debts. Fang Qin could only raise her son by herself and work part-time to pay off her debts.

She wanted to help Fang Qin, but she was stubborn and Fang Qin was willing to let their friendship become impure because of money, except for the time when the debt collectors came to her house and Fang Qin had no choice but to ask her for money.

Fortunately, over the past few years, Fang Qin has gradually paid off her debts, and her son was admitted to University B.

Fang Qin can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Ji Chi's voice was less cold, "Thank you, Aunt Su."

His mother told him that Aunt Su was her good friend, but there was no need to bother her everywhere.

It was almost evening when he returned to Su's house.

Ji Chi had heard about the Su family from his mother. He knew that the Su family was a top-class wealthy family. He was lucky to be able to live in the Su family for a period of time. His mother always reminded him to try not to cause trouble to the Su family and Aunt Su.

He looked at the room the servant took him into. Even though it was the guest room that the other party said was not worth mentioning, the guest room was larger than the total area of ​​his home.

"Master Ji Chi, this is the second floor. The third room on the left is the young lady's room. The other two rooms next to it are the rooms of Young Master Su Ning and Young Master Tiancai.

Ji Chi agreed one by one.

"Master Ji Chi, these are the clothes that the madam asked me to bring to you. They are all some clean and new clothes of the eldest master. Take a look and see if they fit. If not, the madam said that we will buy you new ones. " The servant spoke in a very polite tone.

Even though the boy in front of him wore tattered clothes and his trousers were washed white, the mistress had specifically instructed him to take good care of him, so the servant did not dare to look down on him.

Ji Chi knew that he was staying at the Su family temporarily, and it was not appropriate for him to wear the clothes he was wearing. For a family like the Su family, if he wore tattered clothes and went in and out of the Su family, it would have a bad influence on the Su family and might even make people laugh at the Su family.

Ji Chi had a strong sense of self-esteem, but he was not an ungrateful person.

He looked at the clothes in the servant's hand and picked out two sets of black and white, which looked the simplest. "I can wear these two sets, and I don't need the rest. "

Even if the clothes look like ordinary designs, the touch of the fabric is different from ordinary clothes.

Ji Chi pursed his lips and regarded it as something he owed to the Su family, which he would repay in the future.

Ji Chi changed into the clothes sent by the servant. He went downstairs and saw Su's mother playing with two children in the living room. On the sofa sat a lazy-looking girl.

"Ji Chi is coming down?" Su's mother noticed Ji Chi coming downstairs. "Well, you look energetic in this outfit. We'll have dinner soon. You sit for a while."

"Thank you Aunt Su for sending the clothes." Ji Chi changed into a black outfit. The clothes were of high quality. Ji Chi was tall and had good facial features. He looked more noble in this outfit.

"You're welcome. " Mother Su patted the two little guys beside her, "This is brother Ji Chi, you should say hello to him."

The little genius was very well behaved, he called to Ji Chi in a childish voice, "Hello, brother Ji Chi."

Ji Chi nodded, "Hello."

Little Su Ning had a mouthful of pudding in his mouth, his little mouth was bulging, he covered his mouth, as if he was anxious to swallow the pudding.

Su Ci rubbed his back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Ningning, don't worry. "

Little Su Ning nodded, his cheeks puffed up, his black eyes were round, and he looked so cute that Su's mother and Su Ci laughed a lot.

After a while, after little Su Ning swallowed the pudding in his mouth, he raised his head to look at the tall Ji Chi, and his baby voice seemed to be tainted with the sweetness of the pudding, "Hello, Brother Ji Chi."

Ji Chi found that this younger child looked a bit like Su Ci on the sofa, with delicate features as beautiful as a little angel.

"Hello."

Su's mother motioned for Ji Chi to sit down instead of standing all the time, "Sit down, little Chi, don't be shy. What do you like to eat, or is there anything you don't eat? "

Ji Chi sat down on the single sofa opposite with his back straight, "Aunt Su, I don't have to avoid any food."

Su's mother nodded with a smile, "That's good."

Over there, little Su Ning climbed onto the sofa, and his chubby little body leaned towards Su Ci.

"What's wrong?" Su Ci was about to send a message to Lu Zhe, but his brother leaned over and disturbed her typing.

She had to put down her phone and hold little Su Ning's chubby little body. Has the little guy gained weight again recently?

"Sister." Little Su Ning leaned close to Su Ci's ear, and mysteriously stretched out a little hand to cover his sister's ear. He suppressed his baby voice and secretly told Su Ci, "Brother Ji Chi is like a brother-in-law. "

What? "

Little Suning said, Ji Chi looks like Lu Zhe?

She reached out and tapped his head speechlessly, "You idiot, I'll punish you by not allowing you to eat pudding for two days."

Little Suning thought that his sister would reward him with pudding when he mentioned his brother-in-law.

He remembered that the last time he told his sister that his brother-in-law was coming, his sister rewarded him with a lot of pudding. Why did he think that his brother Ji Chi looked like his brother-in-law and would be punished?

To Little Suning, Ji Chi was tall and thin, with a cold face, and looked very much like his taciturn brother-in-law.

Being punished by his sister Little Su Ning pursed her lips in grievance, and the toy in her hand became boring.

Su Ci lifted her eyelids and looked at Ji Chi who was chatting with Su's mother. Her

eyes slid from his face to his hand.

Ji Chi reached out to take the tea brought by the servant. At this time, Su Ci saw the health value on the inside of his wrist. There was a thin red line on it, and a month was marked next to it.

Su Ci narrowed her eyes. She did not call Fugui out. Anyway, there was still a month left, and Fugui could not see how the other party died.

Su Ci rested her chin on the hand on the sofa, her eyes half-closed. Is this a golden marshmallow delivered to the door?

However, Su Ci calculated and felt that she was very busy. The

eldest brother only has two weeks to live.

If she remembered correctly, the popular young actor Zheng Hao still has about three weeks to live.

However, she has no contact with Zheng Hao. The only connection is that the other party is an artist of Chuangshen Company under Su Group. Whether he can be saved depends on the situation.

And the Ji Chi in front of her only has about one month to live.

Su Ci was happy and worried. She inexplicably felt that she was too busy.

At dinner time, Su's father and Su Zhiyuan both came back.

Su's mother told them that Ji Chi would stay at the Su family for a while.

Su's father also knew his wife's good friend Fang Qin. When he and his wife were in love and quarreled in the past, Fang Qin helped to pass on the message. Knowing that Ji Chi was Fang Qin's son, he also asked Ji Chi a few more questions about his studies.

"Brother." Su Ci sat next to Su Zhiyuan and asked him, "Is the company very busy recently?"

Big brother goes out early and comes back late every day, and she rarely meets big brother.

Su Zhiyuan was wearing a silver-gray slim-fit suit with a black shirt inside. He had delicate features and the compulsive feeling of a person in power, which made him look like a domineering boss.

Su Zhiyuan had a cold expression to the outside world, but when facing his family, especially his sister, the lines on his face softened, with the gentleness of an older brother. "The company has invested in many projects recently." The

Su Group is involved in many industries, but mainly in real estate, hotels, financial investment, new energy development, etc.

"So have you had anything particularly important in the past two weeks?" Su Ci tried to find out.

Su Zhiyuan's dining manners were elegant, with an indescribable nobility. He stopped the chopsticks in his hand, reached out and touched his sister's head, "Why are you so concerned about your brother today?"

Su Ci blinked, with a righteous look on her face, "I always care about you, brother, have you figured out your schedule for the next two weeks?"

The eldest brother had to go on business trips frequently, and if he flew to other places at that time, it would be difficult for her to rush to save him in time.

"I have several meetings this week. Next week, I will fly to City C to discuss contracts and check the progress of a project. I will probably stay there for a few days." Su Zhiyuan answered every question his sister asked, "Your school will start in a month, right? I will find time to take you to school then."

"City C?" Su Ci frowned. Did her elder brother have an accident in City C?

Su Zhiyuan saw his sister frowning slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, do you have to go to City C next week?" Su Ci still doesn't know the cause of her elder brother's death. She also doesn't know whether her elder brother had an accident in City C. If she stops him from going to City C this time, what about next time?

Only by finding out the cause can we really prevent his death.

"If you want to go, take me with you. I don't have any shows scheduled next week anyway." Su Ci looked at Su Zhiyuan, "I'll go with you to relax."

Su Zhiyuan was a little surprised, "I'm going on a business trip, and I won't have time to accompany you to play."

"I know, don't worry, I won't interfere with your work." Su Ci promised.

When his sister was a child, she liked to follow him like a little tail. Wherever he went, she followed. But after growing up, his sister became a virtuous and quiet little princess, and no longer pestered her brother like when she was a child.

Now his sister proposed to go out with him, Su Zhiyuan was surprised and happy at the same time, "I'll ask someone to arrange it. Let's make it clear first. You can't regret it if you feel bored."

"I will definitely not regret it." She is not going out for fun.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious. Ji Chi did not expect that although the Su family was a top-tier wealthy family, the family atmosphere was so good.

After finishing the meal and returning to the room, he received a call from his mother.

Hearing the worry in his mother's voice, Ji Chi comforted her, "Aunt Su is very good to me, and the people in the Su family are also very nice. I'm just staying at the Su family for a while. When school starts, I'll live in the school dormitory."

Fang Qin knew Su's mother. She was kind and would really take good care of her son. "Remember not to cause trouble for Aunt Su and the Su family."

She continued, "Have you met those children of Tong Xin? Get along well with them and don't have conflicts. If there is any conflict, you have to be tolerant."

Fang Qin knew that her son was always sensible, but she still reminded him, as if it was a habit engraved in her bones.

Ji Chi lowered his head, his eyes fell on the ground, and he responded in a low voice.

Fang Qin told her son: "If you don't have enough money, remember to tell mom and I'll give you some."

Ji Chi's low-pitched voice was particularly clear in the quiet room, "I'll go out and find a part-time job tomorrow, mom, you don't need to worry about my living expenses."

Fang Qin felt distressed.

Before the family went bankrupt, they were considered a wealthy family, and the son lived in a superior environment when he was young.

But then the company went bankrupt and her husband died in a car accident. One thing after another forced her son to grow up quickly.

Ji Chi's face was expressionless. He chatted with his mother for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Standing outside the door was the servant of the Su family. "Master Ji Chi, these are your daily necessities. If you need anything else, please let us know."

Ji Chi took the tray from the servant, which contained toothpaste, toothbrushes, cups, towels, etc. "Thank you."

After the servant left, Ji Chi found a bank card on the tray with the card password on a note.

Ji Chi looked at the card quietly for a few seconds, then walked out with the card.

Ji Chi returned the card to Su's mother. The tens of thousands of yuan in the card might not be worth mentioning to the Su family, but to him, it was a huge sum of money.

He couldn't accept it.

In the room, Su Ci was video chatting with Lu Zhe.

In fact, she was lying on the bed, holding her chin with both hands, looking down at Lu Zhe working on the screen.

He has been very busy recently.

Su Ci did not disturb Lu Zhe, but just looked at him quietly. Under the light, the boy looked so focused.

At this time, there was a knock on Su Ci's door.

Su Ci did not get up, she just said: "Come in."

Then, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Little Suning walked in first, and he said in a baby voice: "Sister, Ningning brought you some fruit."

Su Ci has the habit of eating fruit after dinner, and little Suning always takes the initiative to take the responsibility of bringing fruit to her sister.

"Thank you, Ningning." Su Ci looked up at her brother, but she didn't expect that there was a tall figure standing behind her brother.

Su Ci was surprised, "How did you get in?"

She immediately sat up from the bed with her mobile phone.

"The grapes fell, brother Ji Chi helped Ningning." Little Su Ning took the initiative to tell her sister.

Ji Chi held a plate of washed grapes in his hand, with no expression on his cold face. He asked Su Ci, "Where are the fruits?"

Suddenly, a man's low and magnetic voice was heard. In the video, Lu Zhe, who was looking at the documents, raised his eyes, but only saw the chandelier in the girl's room.

Su Ci immediately got off the bed, the hem of her skirt fell off her feet, and she walked over quickly in slippers.

Ji Chi looked away, not looking at the girl's overly white and slender calves.

Su Ci took the fruit plate, "Please, just give it to me." Su Ci was still holding a mobile phone in her hand, so she could only take the fruit plate with one hand.

"You're welcome." Ji Chi said in a serious tone, "I won't bother you anymore."

Ji Chi straightened his waist and walked out of the room filled with the fragrance of young girls.

In the video, Lu Zhe saw Ji Chi's profile flashing by.

His dark eyes darkened and he closed the file.

After Ji Chi left, Su Ci fed a grape into little Suning's mouth, "Come, say hello to your brother-in-law."

"Intercept..." Little Suning ate the fruit in his mouth, his voice was unclear, which made Su Ci laugh.

She touched his head, "Okay, you can go, sister is not free to play with you now."

Su Ci is a typical person who values ​​women over brothers.

Close the door.

Su Ci walked to the dressing table holding a fruit plate. She turned on the lamp to illuminate herself. Her originally fair face became even more beautiful under the soft light.

Su Ci then put her phone on the stand with satisfaction and continued to video chat with Lu Zhe.

"Have you finished reading the documents?" Su Ci saw that all the documents in front of Lu Zhe were closed.

Lu Zhe looked at the girl's face that was magnified in front of the screen as she moved the camera closer. "Yeah."

Hearing that Lu Zhe was done, Su Ci became happy. "Then talk to me."

"Who was the person who gave you the fruit just now?" Even if he only saw his profile, he knew that the man was not Su Ci's eldest brother Su Zhiyuan, and he heard little Su Ning calling the other party Ji Chi brother?

"I sent you a message this afternoon to tell you that the guest my mother and I went to meet was him. His name is Ji Chi, and he is the son of my mother's best friend. He is temporarily staying at my house." Su Ci lowered her eyes and began to peel the grapes. It was so troublesome. She hated peeling fruits the most.

Lu Zhe frowned subconsciously.

Su Ci put the peeled grapes into her mouth. She obviously didn't care about Ji Chi, but said, "My brother is going to City C on a business trip next week, and I will go with him."

Lu Zhe asked her, "What's the matter?"

Su Ci nodded, her eyes curled up, and she looked at Lu Zhe with a smile, "I'll go and pack your things for you."

Lu Zhe looked puzzled. He didn't understand what the girl meant.

Su Ci didn't expect him to understand.

Her beautiful fingers peeled another grape, and after putting it into her mouth, her voice seemed to be stained with the sweetness of the fruit, "When I come back, I will give you something good."

Lu Zhe knew that every time Su Ci said she would give him something good, she meant to kiss him.

With a smile in his eyes, he looked at the girl, "Okay."

Su Ci's fingers were all covered with grape juice. She licked her white fingertips and said to Lu Zhe on the screen in a naughty way, "Then you have to cooperate with me well."

Cooperate with what?

Lu Zhe thought of her naughty and annoying tricks, and he pretended not to understand.

...

In the morning, Su Ci came out of the room, and she happened to see Ji Chi who was also going out.

"Good morning." Ji Chi passed by the girl and greeted her politely.

Su Ci nodded.

She found that Ji Chi, who lived in her house, was like an invisible man, too quiet, and he had been going out early and coming back late these days, as if he didn't exist. She

heard from Su's mother last night that Ji Chi had found two part-time jobs outside to earn a living.

From the first day Su Ci saw Ji Chi's dress, she knew that his family was not well off, but she didn't care.

Today is Sunday, and Ji Chi doesn't need to work part-time.

After breakfast, Su's mother went out for something, and Ji Chi was pulled by little Su Ning and little Tiancai to play chess with them.

The two little guys can read facial expressions now. Although Ji Chi looks cold, they know that this big brother is not scary or frightening.

"Sister." Little Suning saw his sister walking by with a cup of yogurt, and he ran over to pull her, "Sister, let's play chess together."

Little Suning learned to play flying chess these two days, and he was so obsessed that he didn't even care about eating pudding. If there were adults at home, he would ask them to play with him.

Su Ci sipped the yogurt and looked down at his brother, "It's too boring, I don't want to play."

Only children like to play these boring things.

Little Suning pouted sadly, and he retorted in a baby voice: "It's not boring, it's fun."

Su Ci saw that she had poked her brother's childish heart, and she couldn't help pinching his chubby face, "Okay, it's not boring, I'll just play one game with you."

Hearing his sister's agreement, little Suning's big eyes lit up, and he nodded obediently, "Okay."

Xiaopang took his sister's hand and pulled her to the coffee table.

The chess pieces have been placed, and Ji Chi and Xiao Tiancai each occupied one side.

Little Suning ran to his position and said with a smile: "I want the green chess piece."

Su Ci sat down opposite Ji Chi, "Let's start."

The morning sun shone into the living room through the large floor-to-ceiling glass, and the room was filled with soft light.

The child's cheerful laughter was in his ears, and Ji Chi lowered his eyes, not looking at the overly beautiful face of the girl opposite.

"It's my turn." The girl's voice was pleasant.

Ji Chi looked at the chess paper, and saw Su Ci's white and slender fingers stretched out and picked up the chess piece.

For the first time, Ji Chi knew that a girl's fingers could be so beautiful, even her nails were a light pink, more delicate than white jade.

"It's your turn, Ji Chi." Su Ci said.

Ji Chi lowered his eyelids, blocking the color in his eyes, and he picked up the chess piece.

When Su's mother came back, she saw Su Ci and Ji Chi playing chess with two children around a tea table. She was a little surprised by their joy.

Especially her daughter, she seemed to be talking to Ji Chi opposite her, and although Ji Chi had a cold face, he would respond.

The two seemed to get along very well.

Su's mother's heart skipped a beat, and inexplicably, she thought of something.

Not sure if it was an illusion, she only now realized that Ji Chi seemed to be somewhat similar to Lu Zhe, whether in his tall and thin figure or his cold temperament.

Su's mother's eyes fell on her daughter's smiling face, and her heart was relieved. She felt that her daughter was too young and did not know how to distinguish what was liked.

My daughter likes Lu Zhe, so what about Ji Chi who has a temperament similar to Lu Zhe?

...

Su Ci was busy packing her luggage and going to City C with her elder brother.

She heard from her elder brother that they would stay there for a few days, so she had to bring her skin care products, beautiful clothes, matching shoes, and even her bag.

Su Zhiyuan went to City C on a business trip. In addition to his little sister, he also had a secretary, two assistants, and three bodyguards.

The hotel room had already been arranged, and Su Ci just had to follow her elder brother to pick up her luggage and check in.

Su Ci's room was next to her elder brother's. She lay on the bed and looked at the sudden change in the weather outside. The sky was full of dark clouds, and it was obvious that there would be heavy rain.

She checked the weather forecast and it would rain in City C in the next few days.

Su Ci hates rainy days. She felt depressed when she thought about her shoes getting wet and her skirt getting dirty when she went out.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Su Ci lazily got up and went to open the door. Su

Zhiyuan changed into a royal blue casual suit, which made him look more like a nobleman. "Xiao Ci, I have an appointment with a client tonight to discuss a contract. I ordered dinner for you. You eat in the room. Don't run around. It's going to rain outside."

Su Ci nodded obediently. She knew that her brother only had four days left to live. She would know the cause of his death tomorrow.
