Chapter 14
Wen Qiu and Zhang Nan stood outside the ward area.
Zhang Nan: "The gifts have been sent to the airport. Mr. Wen, are you really..."
Wen Qiu nodded and said, "If you don't want to stay in the company, I can give you a severance package."
"I won't leave!"
Zhang Nan was furious.
Wen Qiu's resignation has a huge impact on both the company and his subordinates like Zhang Nan.
But Wen Qiu doesn't need anyone to understand him.
"I'll go directly to the airport later, you arrange for Ji Liao."
Wen Qiu flipped through the termination agreement in his hand.
There was no way to respond to Ji Liao's feelings, and at the same time he wanted to pursue his own life, so he decided to terminate the contract.
Having gained experience from the last failed contract termination attempt, this time he started with the hospital.
Since Ji Liao cares about his grandmother, in addition to financial compensation, he will also promise to continue to bear his grandmother's medical expenses and nursing expenses, so that Ji Liao will not suffer any loss.
Wen Qiu thought he had considered everything carefully, but Ji Liao walked out in a daze.
"Boss Wen." Seeing Wen Qiu, Ji Liao's eyes finally focused on one thing, and he asked, "My grandma, will she get better?"
Wen Qiu was speechless.
Silence was the answer, and Ji Liao didn't seem to expect his answer.
Because he then said, "It's incurable."
"……What do you mean?"
According to previous investigations, Ji Liao and his grandmother had a very deep relationship. In order to treat his grandmother's illness, Ji Liao took on a lot of debt at a young age.
As long as people are alive, there is hope.
How could you give up treatment?
But Ji Liao still said: "It's incurable."
He looked back, as if to confirm his thoughts, or as if to himself:
"Let her be free."
Wen Qiu fell silent again.
Then ask:
"Have you thought about it?"
"Um."
Ji Liao nodded solemnly.
*
The doctor hadn't even gotten comfortable in his chair when he was called back.
"Are you sure?"
The doctor, who was used to seeing life and death, asked Ji Liao one last question.
Wen Qiu stood silently aside, seeing Ji Liao still nodding.
The doctor glanced at Wen Qiu.
Wen Qiu nodded.
The doctor took out another document and asked Ji Liao to sign it.
As soon as the equipment was removed, the old man soon stopped breathing.
Then it’s just a matter of following the process.
The work during this period will be done by special personnel, and Ji Liao does not need to do anything.
Ji Liao didn't know the original owner's family members, and he was the only guardian, so the process went very quickly. In just a few hours, a living person turned into a jar of ashes.
There was no place to put the ashes, so Ji Liao followed the staff's instructions and kept the urn in the cemetery.
After doing all this, Ji Liao walked back alone.
"Boss Wen, shall we take you to the airport now?"
Wen Qiu had been watching Ji Liao and the staff handle the old man's funeral, and followed them to the cemetery.
However, Ji Liao not only did not speak to him the whole time, he even rode away alone on a small motorcycle.
Just left like that...
Zhang Nan looked bewildered. Wen Qiu frowned and took the termination agreement back from Zhang Nan.
"Follow him."

Ji Liao returned to the villa smoothly.
It was almost evening. After parking the car, Ji Liao went straight into the kitchen and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator.
He hadn't eaten lunch, so his stomach and head were empty.
Until there was a bang in my ears:
"Ji Liao."
Wen Qiu's voice was not loud, so Ji Liao was quick-witted while Wen Qiu was still confused.
Ji Liao looked at Wen Qiu in panic. Wen Qiu raised his chin and gestured towards the cutting board.
Ji Liao looked down and saw a rolling pin.
"Sorry." Ji Liao hurriedly moved the rolling pin away. "I just came back. Are you hungry? Wait a moment, I'll make it soon..."
"Stop it." Wen Qiu said decisively, "I'm not hungry."
Ji Liao was obviously not in a good condition to cook.
Ji Liao didn't really want to do it either. What happened that day seemed like a dream. He suddenly woke up with cold sweat all over his back.
The two were speechless for a moment and fell into silence.
Wen Qiu was still young when his Omega grandmother passed away, so he could not understand Ji Liao's "pain of losing a loved one".
But Wen, who was used to being unkind, at least tried to show some understanding and realized that it was not appropriate to discuss the termination agreement at this time.
Just when Wen Qiu had almost given up on discussing the termination of the contract, Ji Liao suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Wen, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Since arriving here and becoming the original beta owner, Ji Liao's life has been relatively smooth, without encountering any difficulties. Today in the hospital was the first difficult time he had to face.
He decided the life or death of an old man so easily.
And now he is not sure, is he doing the right thing?
He treated others as he would treat himself, hoping that the original owner's grandmother would be relieved.
But what if the old man doesn’t want to?
After struggling all the way, the ball of cotton in his heart grew heavier, turning into a heavy stone. He even admired the original owner. Although dark and paranoid, he at least had clear goals and strong execution. Unlike him, he was firm in his decision, but later he would waver and blame himself, feeling guilty and sad.
At this time, he really wanted to chat with his friends, but he was alone and had no other choice except Wen Qiu.
"I felt like I had killed someone."
Ji Liao said weakly.
Even if it's Wen Qiu, it would be nice to be able to talk to him.
“…”
In his entire life, Wen Qiu had only ever had heart-to-heart talks with Lou Yue. It wasn't that he confided in them, but Lou Yue always guessed what he was thinking and comforted him in return.
If Lou Yue were here, he would definitely know how to respond.
It’s a pity that Lou Yue is not here.
He and Lou Yue were no longer in a relationship where they could contact each other casually.
"Don't overthink it."
He said it stiffly.
Knowing that he lacked Lou Yue's ability to comfort others, Wen Qiu had no choice but to take out his cell phone and express his feelings in his own way.
Ji Liao's phone vibrated immediately.
He took it out and looked at it:
[Bank of China Notice] Dear user, your account has received a transfer of 20,000...
Ji Liao was shocked: "Mr. Wen, that's not what I meant!"
He really just wanted to find someone to talk to!
"Yeah." Wen Qiu didn't care. "Let's go shopping and relax."
At least that's how he sees Lou Yue, she buys things when she's in a bad mood.
But Ji Liao really didn't feel the joy of receiving money. He lay down on the island counter and said dejectedly:
"Mr. Wen, can you alphas emit a pheromone that can calm people down?"
He needs it badly now.
Wen Qiu: “Yes.”
Ji Liao looked at Wen Qiu with hope, but unexpectedly Wen Qiu added:
"It only works on Omegas."
And he's a marked Omega.
"Ah..." Ji Liao wailed in disappointment, his body sank and he slid down the platform.
"Hello!"
Wen Qiu was startled and leaned over to see Ji Liao squatting on the ground, like a damp gray mushroom.
No matter what, it's no use.
"Ji Liao."
Wen Qiu knocked the table twice with his knuckles and said concisely, "Follow me."
"Where are you going?"
Ji Liao felt exhausted, but couldn't help but hear that Qiu was the boss.
He was already "absent from duty" by giving up his job and not cooking, so he really couldn't refuse Wen Qiu.
So he could only stand up, stagger out of the kitchen, and follow Wen Qiu to the garage.
Wen Qiu took off his coat and threw it into the back seat, then sat in the driver's seat.
After Ji Liao got in the car, he started the car without saying a word.
Ji Liao quickly grabbed the handrail.
Is Wen Qiu going to take him to play Speed again?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Wen Qiu cautiously.
I'm wearing glasses and everything is fine.
