But Bai Jingxu seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and he spent time with Bai Wei in New Zealand.

Now that he has made up his mind, it is not so easy to change, and he temporarily handed over all government affairs in the country to Duan Hong.

Duan Hong knew Bai Jingxu's temper, and it was useless to talk about it, so he obediently went home to deal with domestic affairs.

Bai Jingxu is the king, and he can't tolerate the woman he loves being ambiguous with other men.

This is the innate pride in his bones, and it is also the life advice he has always adhered to.

As long as he thought of Xu Jia messing around with this man, Bai Jingxu's anger had nowhere to vent.

He sent someone to follow Xu Jia all the time, and found that although Bai Wei and Xu Jia called each other boyfriend and girlfriend, they actually had never even held hands.

Hearing this news, Bai Jingxu's heart was a little more balanced.

However, since he had come here, he had no intention of making his titular brother feel better.

I have to say that Bai Wei really has two brushes, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and solve the problems raised by Bai Jingxu again and again.

Bai Jingxu is actually quite optimistic about Bai Wei in his heart, if they are not rivals in love and have no relationship with the Bai family, maybe they will become very good friends.

He listed Bai Wei as one of his eye-catching opponents, he had cultivated a heart of stone in the mall for so many years, but there were very few who could be regarded as his opponents.

I have to say that Bai Jingxu and Bai Wei's style of doing things are similar, and the problems thrown by Bai Jingxu are not the problems that have been spoiled by the Bai family's industry, but from a long-term perspective, the possible crisis of the branch.

Bai Wei also thought about these problems, but he didn't have time to solve them, and he didn't expect them to be raised by Bai Jingxu one by one.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have solved many problems that may endanger the creditor's rights of the New Zealand branch in the future, and solved a lot of worries for the company.

……

Late at night, Kejia received a call from her adoptive mother Gu Lanjuan, and before she could speak, she heard sobbing on the other end of the phone.

Kejia was shocked, she understood her adoptive mother's character very well, if there was no major matter, Gu Lanjuan would never take the initiative to call Xu Jia, and she still looked so anxious.

Every time, it is Xu Jia who calls his parents, and usually the adoptive mother also ignores him.

Adoptive mother Gu Lanjuan has always given people the impression that she is not surprised, and in her memory, it is the first time that her adoptive mother has no master like this.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xu Jia's instinct told her that something was going on at home that her adoptive mother couldn't solve on her own, and she reflexively clenched her phone in worry.

"Kejia, come back quickly. Your dad is sick...... I'm afraid I won't live long......" Mother Xu cried, her words were not clear, and the intermittent voice came into Xu Jia's ears from the other side of the earpiece.

"Mom, don't worry," Kejia was flustered in her heart, she didn't know what was going on, so she could only comfort her adoptive mother first, "What's the matter, what's wrong with Dad?"

"Your dad...... I went to the hospital for a physical examination today and found out that it was advanced lung cancer. What can I do if this is called?" Gu Lanjuan didn't treat Xu Jia as her own daughter, but now that such a big thing is happening in the family, the only thing she can rely on is this daughter she has raised for more than 20 years.

It's only to blame her for her belly, she hasn't been pregnant with a child, and now she can only look at Xu Jia.

Hearing what his adoptive mother said, Xu Jia's whole person was stunned, and her fingertips couldn't help but tremble because of fear.

Dad's health has always been very good! Before going abroad, when we ate together, we were still in strong shape, why did Dad's body not bear it in just a few months?

Xu Jia couldn't believe it was all true.

Although she does not have deep medical skills, the severity of advanced lung cancer is known to anyone with a little common sense.

I have advanced lung cancer, and I'm afraid that one foot has already stepped into the ghost door.

"Mom, don't worry, arrange for Dad to go to the hospital first. I'll buy a ticket now and rush back as soon as possible, you are the backbone of the family now, calm down, it's okay, everything will be fine. “

Kejia comforted her adoptive mother, and even she felt that the credibility of what she said was very low.

But there is no way, if you don't have some illusions and beautiful visions in life, I don't know how to continue this day.

The matter has come to this, I can only comfort my mother first, and then go back and see the opportunity to act.

She discussed with Yu Man, and decided that Kejia would take the fastest flight back first, and after Yu Man took care of New Zealand's affairs, she would take Orange Cheng back to China to meet Xu Jia.

She originally suggested that Yu Man stay in New Zealand, and she would just return to China with Orange Orange herself, after all, she had just been here for a long time, and her foundation had just stabilized, so there was no need to bother.

But Yu Man resolutely disagreed, and he must return to China with Xu Jia.

For Man, life is the same everywhere, and she is alone anyway.

But she couldn't bear to face life and death alone.

She knows Kejia's situation in the Xu family very well, and she also knows what it means to have advanced lung cancer.

Kejia will definitely suffer a lot of unfair treatment and difficult problems when she returns to China this time, and she does not want her good friend to suffer alone.

……

Kejia saw that Yu Man was so persistent, so he followed her.

She knew that once Yu Man decided on something, even the nine cows would not be able to pull it back, and would only rush forward one by one.

Yu Man has paid too much because of her friend, and Kejia feels that she can't repay it.

She felt very sorry for Yu Man, Yu Man could have had a stable life, but now because she made her friend, she was constantly traveling to China and New Zealand.

On the one hand, she couldn't bear to let this good girlfriend accompany her from place to place, and on the other hand, the only one she could rely on as a harbor was Yu Man.

But the life that Yu Man had just settled down had changed because of her affairs, and she looked at Yu Man guiltily.

"It's okay, where can't we work hard? Like we returned to China before, didn't we also stay well?" Yu Man saw through Xu Jia's thoughts, patted her back and comforted.

For Yu Man, their friendship is supreme, she can throw away many things, but she can't lose this good friend.

I don't know when the two of them seem to have become twin flowers, and they have experienced many things together and worked hard together.

They have too many memories, they have cried together, laughed together, they have common ideals, and they are closely connected by things that are more than friendship and affection.

As long as Xu Jia can live happily, she is willing to make many sacrifices.

They shared hardships together, and the most difficult days were spent hand in hand, and the rest of life would be a little easier no matter what.

Kejia walked out of the airport wearing a light jacket and carrying a small suitcase, which contained only a few changes of clothes.

Hearing the news that her father was seriously ill, she immediately checked the flight and booked the earliest plane to fly back to China.

Orange thought that she was going to leave her mother for a long time, and she was very reluctant.

It's rare for him to be disobedient, crying and making trouble, and he doesn't want to be separated from Xu Jia.

Kejia talked to Yu Manhao and persuaded Orange to stop her tears.

She felt sorry for her baby son, but there was no other way but to return to China ruthlessly.

She took a deep breath, it hadn't been half a year since she left Haicheng, and she didn't expect to return to the city where she grew up since she was a child.

No one came to pick her up, and the only one who knew that she was back was her adoptive mother, Gu Lanjuan, who was now staying in the hospital to take care of her father, and she couldn't spare time at all.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Gu Lanjuan just has nothing to do at home, she won't come to pick her up.

From the beginning of her sensibility, her adoptive mother reminded her from time to time that she was abandoned by others and then adopted by the Xu family.

When he was a child, Xu Jia always tried to get close to his adoptive mother, helped with housework, took the first place in exams, never did anything to make his parents angry, and put in a lot of effort, just to win the love of his adoptive mother.

However, she didn't understand why her adoptive mother had always been cold and disgusted with her in every way.

She also didn't understand why her adoptive mother had to convince her father to adopt her in the first place, if she hated her so much.

Countless times, she wanted to ask Gu Lanjuan why all this was, but she didn't ask again and again.

Over time, she calmed down, perhaps, she was a person who did not deserve her mother's love.

In this family, except for her adoptive father Xu Ziqiang, no one is really good to her.

used to be ignorant, and felt that Gu Jisen was also one of the few people who were really good to her, but now that I think about it, I only feel ironic.

She remembers that when she was a child, her adoptive father Xu Ziqiang would always hold her in his arms and tell her the fairy tales she liked; when she was sick, her father would be by her side all the time, even if he had just finished working with the company; when her adoptive mother scolded her for no reason, her father would also speak for her, scold her adoptive mother and comfort her softly, it was not her fault.

For her, the presence of her adoptive father Xu Ziqiang made her feel the warmth of family affection and let her know that she was not alone when she was a child.

Although Xu Jia was beaten by her father before because she entered the police station with Bai Jingxu, she knew in her heart that it was a manifestation of her father's hatred of iron and steel.

The adoptive father is such a person, he poured a lot of effort into Xu Jia, and did not allow her to become a villain in the market.

He has deep expectations for Lickena, and he doesn't want Copa to use the money to save his company.

Even if the company is the hard work he has devoted his whole life to, but in the end it collapses due to poor capital turnover and poor management, he is unwilling.

From time to time, Xu Jia thought in his heart, probably all the fathers in the world are like this, and they will hold all the best things in front of your eyes.

It would be nice if it was the biological father and not the adoptive father......

The bits and pieces of getting along with Xu Ziqiang are like movies, and scenes appear in front of me.

Thinking of the past, Xu Jia felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.

She pulled her suitcase and didn't have time to go home, so she stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went to her father's hospital.

……

After he arrived at the hospital, he inquired about his adoptive father's ward at the nurses' station.

After getting the exact location, she became scared without warning.

She walked to the door of the VIP ward where Xu Ziqiang was, and didn't have the courage to push open the hidden door.

Mennai is the only elder in the world who loves her, and he is an adoptive father who is willing to nurture her and raise her, not a biological father but better than a biological father.

At this time, he was suffering from the disease, lung cancer, what a terrible word, but he didn't expect such a living example to happen in front of him.

Xu Jia lingered outside the door for a long time, until her adoptive mother, Gu Lanjuan, slowly walked over from the distance of the corridor with a lunch box.

"Why don't you go in, your dad is sick and doesn't even want to look at him?" Gu Lanjuan regained her harsh and mean face.

Now, she's slowly regaining her senses, and she's not going to be as godless as she was when she first heard the news.

Kejia seemed to have long been used to it, and did not quibble, but replied, "I just arrived, and now I am about to go in to visit my father." ”

Gu Lanjuan ignored Xu Jia, snorted coldly, opened the door and walked straight in.

Xu Jia hurriedly followed, and walked into the ward to see Xu Ziqiang lying weakly on the hospital bed.

In just a few months, the adoptive father has lost too much weight.

was originally a medium-to-fat figure, but now he is tortured by the disease to the point that his skin and bones are not human.

When Kejia saw such a haggard father, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and she cried out.

How did the father who used to be her safe haven, the father who once lifted her high, the man who gave so much for her, become like this now?

……

"Why are you back? Don't cry. It's ugly to cry into a big flower cat. Xu Ziqiang felt a little comforted when he saw his daughter standing in front of him, and he thought that he would not be able to see his daughter before he died.

"Dad......" Xu Jia choked up, thousands of words blocked in his throat, and finally thousands of words turned into a father, and the rest of the words couldn't be said.

"Didn't I tell you that you can't cry no matter what happens?" Xu Ziqiang said, imagining that Xu Jia reached out and touched her head as she did when she was a child, comforting her daughter not to cry and stop crying.

He suddenly found that he still had a drip in his hand, and awkwardly hung his hand in the air and retracted it again.

Seeing his father's appearance, Kejia squatted beside the bed and cried even more sadly.

Xu Ziqiang comforted his daughter, thinking that Xu Jia had rushed back from New Zealand, he turned his head again and scolded Gu Lanjuan, "Didn't I tell you not to tell Kejia? I'm not dead yet, how difficult it is for Kejia to be alone outside, you just called your daughter back." ”

Gu Lanjuan put down the spoon that was serving the soup, "If you don't call her back, then what should I do?"

Gu Lanjuan felt aggrieved.

In fact, Xu Ziqiang's illness had signs a long time ago.

Gu Lanjuan saw that Xu Ziqiang's appetite had not been good recently, and his weight had gradually decreased, so she didn't care much at first, thinking that her husband was under too much pressure because of the company.

Unexpectedly, the symptoms became more and more obvious.

She kept urging her husband to take time to come to the hospital for a physical examination, but Xu Ziqiang refused under the pretext of being busy.

It wasn't until this time that he was washing in the bathroom in the morning and suddenly passed out and was taken to the hospital that he learned the terrible news.

The moment she learned that her man was suffering from lung cancer, Gu Lanjuan only felt five thunderbolts.

"I have long urged you to come for a physical examination, you are good, you are not willing to live or die, is it okay now?" Gu Lanjuan is still a woman after all, and she choked up again when she looked at her husband's weak appearance.

The ward was bathed in the afternoon sun, and the frail man on the bed had a sallow face, but his eyes were still clear.

He looked at Gu Lanjuan, who had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and said slowly, "Life and death are fate, it's not a big deal." Besides, I'm lucky to be able to spend it in such a quiet place, without anyone disturbing me. ”

Gu Lanjuan looked at her husband, who was like no one else, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

He turned to look at his beloved daughter again, "You're in a hurry, aren't you, when are you going to go back to New Zealand?"

Seeing that her father, who once supported her for a long time, is now seriously ill and still misses her so much, Xu Jiagang's tears overflowed again.

The father, who was also in the mall when he was young, is now lying in bed in a hospital gown, judging the two of them.

"Dad...", Kejia's heart was mixed, "I won't go back to New Zealand, I'm going to stay here and take good care of you." ”

"Alright, alright. Don't cry anymore, it's okay not to go back, leave more time to spend with your father, you have been working hard outside by yourself in the past few years, and you don't have much time to get along with your family..."He was so disgusted that the sick Xu Ziqiang was not as sharp as before, and the illness tortured him into a weak old man.

Kejia didn't answer, but the tears flowed down vigorously, and he couldn't stop it.

……

Xu Jia now just wants to be by his father's side with peace of mind, and he doesn't want to think about the rest of the things at all.

She travels from hospital to home.

When she was in the hospital, she often pushed her father, who was in a wheelchair, out to blow the wind and take more calcium.

She took her father to the hospital garden for a walk, and when the weather was nice, she would take him a little farther away and sneak outside to get some fresh air.

Xu Ziqiang is still the same as before, and he is not idle at all.

He often complained that it was too boring to stay in the hospital, and like a child, he always asked when he would be discharged.

Again and again, he was rejected by the attending physician with a hard attitude, but he still did not give up. When the next time the doctor came to check the ward, he asked him with a hippie smile.

Kejia knew his father's habits very well, and was afraid that his father would be bored if he stayed in the hospital every day, so he escaped from the surveillance of the attending doctor and his adoptive mother while the sun was shining, and took his adoptive father to the wild to see the world outside the hospital.

The father who was sitting in the passenger seat smiled and hooked up with her, saying that he would keep this secret and not let others know.

Kejia was amused by his cute appearance, this was the first time she had seen such a father.

The sick father also behaves childishly like a child.

Xu Ziqiang has been tortured by cancer to the point that he is not human, as if a gust of wind can blow him down.

Continuous radiotherapy and chemotherapy caused his hair to gradually fall out in large quantities, and the originally thick black hair is now thinning, and in some places he can even see the top of his head.

Kejia often cries behind her back, but in front of her father, she rarely shows her true emotions.

She didn't want her respected elders to be devastated by illness and worry about her affairs.

They will recall many interesting things from their childhood, and they will laugh when they talk about having fun.

Xu Jia felt that he was back in his childhood.

If all this is true, then the father is still healthy, how good would it be?

……

Yu Man and Cheng Cheng have also returned to China, and they rent an apartment near the Xu family's mansion.

But Kejia didn't have time to visit them, just called her baby son every night, coaxed him to sleep, and said goodnight to each other.

Kejia was physically and mentally exhausted because of his adoptive father's illness, and he really didn't have the heart to worry about other things.

She entrusted Orange Orange to Yu Man and entrusted her to pick Orange Orange to and from school.

I'm embarrassed, but there's nothing I can do.

Yu Man agreed without saying a word.

For her, this little thing is not a big deal.

Orange Orange knew about her grandfather's condition, and she didn't make any noise, but once when she called her mother, she cautiously asked her mother, "Mom, can I go see my grandfather?"

Kejia was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Orange Orange is Kejia's biological son, except for his adoptive mother Gu Lanjuan and good girlfriend Yu Man, no one else knows.

Now that his father is seriously ill, it was natural for his grandson to come to visit him.

But do you want to tell your father the truth?

Recently, his adoptive father often muttered in front of Kejia, urging Kejia to get married early, so that he might be able to hold his grandson before he died.

Kejia wants to tell his adoptive father the truth every time, wants to bring Orange Orange to his side, and calls him grandpa sweetly.

But she really didn't know how to speak.

The matter was pushed over and over again, and finally it was over.

……

After the two returned to China, they hadn't seen them yet.

She misses her precious son very much, but she really doesn't have time.

She either stayed in the hospital at night to take care of her adoptive father and couldn't sleep well all night, or hurried back to the Xu family's mansion to rest, and then boiled porridge and rushed to the hospital the next morning.

She stayed by Xu Ziqiang's side every step of the way, and her adoptive mother Gu Lanjuan sometimes worried that she wouldn't be able to survive and forced her to go home and have a good rest, but Kejia was unwilling and always refused.

She felt that time passed so quickly, obviously when she was a child, her father told her stories, played games with her, and sent her to and from school The scenes were still so clear, but she didn't expect that now she is a mother, and her father is about to die.

Kejia knew in his heart that for cachexia like advanced lung cancer, death was his father's final destination.

All along, she didn't want to believe it, but she always felt that there would be a miracle and her father would one day stand in front of her in good health.

But all this is just her own fantasy after all.

It was Xu Ziqiang who showed an open-mindedness that should not be.

It was not others who comforted him, but he often comforted his wife and daughter, as well as relatives and friends who came to visit him in the hospital.

The Xu family's company is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and now it is barely holding on with the last bit of financial resources.

The walls fell and everyone pushed them, and the trees fell and scattered.

Regardless of Xu Ziqiang's condition, the director of the company found the hospital and asked him to give an explanation.

Kejia couldn't bear to worry about these things now that her father, who was seriously ill, and stopped her, begging the directors to give her a little time, and she would definitely handle the matter properly.

But what can she do with her being a weak woman?

This is the result of his father's life's work, and no matter what, Xu Jia is not willing to let it all go to waste.
