Since Xia Xue went abroad, the female manager of the coffee shop has almost become half of the boss.

Although before Xia Xue left, she had already delegated authority to the store manager and told her that everything could be decided by herself. However, whenever she encounters something that requires a decision, she still asks Xiaoji for advice. After all, this shop is the property of two husband and wife.

Hey, hello, what's the matter? Koji's magnetic voice came from the phone.

Every time the store manager hears Koji's deep and deep voice, his handsome and handsome image will appear in front of him. His voice, which is particularly full of manly charm, makes people's hearts move when they hear it.

The store manager suppressed the turmoil in his heart, secretly adjusted his breath, and said. Hello, Mr. Xue, someone has proposed to join this coffee shop in the past few days. So, I would like to ask your opinion. If you agree to join, how much is the franchise fee?

The corners of Xiaozhi's mouth twitched, thought about it, and said. In the past, there were also people who wanted to join, but they were all rejected by Xia Xue. She said that she was afraid that there would be too many franchise stores, and it would not be easy to manage them in a unified manner, and once there was a problem, it would smash the signboard for many years.

The store manager pondered for a while and said. Mr. Xue, is it still refusal this time?

Xiaozhi hooked the corners of his lips and said. Well, let's refuse it for the time being, and make a decision until Xia Xue comes back!

What the? Sister Xia, is she coming back? The store manager ignored the etiquette and screamed excitedly on the phone.

Afterwards, the store manager immediately realized his gaffe and hurriedly apologized. Ah, Mr. Xue, I'm really sorry, I lost my temper, please forgive me! I miss Sister Xia so much, may I ask, is she okay now?

Xiaozhi said in a deep voice. She's fine, and in two months, she's going to be a mom. When she finishes giving birth and recuperates for a while, I will bring her back.

The store manager hung up the phone happily. When she thought that Xia Xue was about to come back, she felt an indescribable ease and happiness in her heart.

After Xiaozhi got off work that day, he went directly to Xue's hospital to visit Xue Han.

Every time he saw Xue Han, his mood would be extremely heavy. Xue Han, who was originally physically strong, is now so thin that he can't bear to look at it. It is unimaginable that the inhuman-shaped man lying on the hospital bed is Xue Han, who was terrifying in the past.

Can Xue Han wake up? The doctor said that it was necessary to expect a miracle. By implication, the chances of waking up are slim to none.

Xiao Zhi held the steering wheel, drove through a traffic light intersection, and suddenly two people flashed in front of him. It was a man and a woman, holding hands, walking on the side of the road, talking and laughing. took a closer look, it was actually David and Haruko!

Koji couldn't help but be extremely surprised. He didn't have time to look any more, and the two men disappeared into the crowd. What the hell is this? Why did the two of them suddenly come together? No wonder, Haruko hasn't been arguing to go back to Japan these days.

Further on, across the road, is the Xue Family Hospital.

Xiao Zhi drove the car into the underground parking lot, walked into the elevator, and directly pressed the floor where Xue Han was.

There weren't many people in the elevator and I quickly got to the floor I was going to. The elevator door opened, and Xiao Zhi walked out of it and went straight to Xue Han's ward.

Xiao Zhi walked forward without squinting, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze, stabbing at him violently, like a man's back.

Koji looked in the direction of his feelings, and suddenly, he saw an elderly man, leaning against the wall with a crutch in his hand, staring at him from a distance.

Xiaozhi and the old man looked at each other for a few seconds and then turned around. This old man doesn't seem to be a stranger, as if he's seen it somewhere? However, I can't remember it right away.

Xiao Zhi didn't pay any attention to the old man and walked straight to Xue Han's ward.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Koji walked in. He closed the door with his backhand, slowed his steps, and walked inside.

The nurse was washing something in the bathroom, heard the movement, and hurried out. Seeing that it was Xiaozhi, he quickly bowed down and said hello.

Xiaozhi nodded and said, hard work!

Where, Mr. Xue, this is what we should do. The nurse smiled quietly and bowed her head.

Xiao Zhi smiled at the nurse, walked over to Xue Han, moved the chair, and sat down.

He looked at Xue Han quietly, stretched out his hand to cover the back of Xue Han's hand, and felt the temperature. He slowly raised one of Xue Han's arms, gently placed it on his cheek, and rubbed it slowly, trying to make Xue Han feel his arrival.

Xue Han's eyes were tightly closed and he didn't move. His body was lying there stiffly, the muscles of his lower limbs had begun to atrophy slightly, and his body, which had been strong and tall, was wilting and decadent little by little. Fortunately, he was asleep and could not see himself, otherwise he would have been in too much pain to live!

Koji's eyes couldn't help but be moist and blurry.

The nurse quietly retreated, knowing that Koji would talk to her father every time she came. It's like people who are in good health talking together.

Xiaozhi looked at Xue Han and told him about the company, and then mentioned Park Shiyi's matter to him. He told Xue Han the scene that happened in front of Park Shiyi's tomb that day.

If Xue Han was awake, he would definitely laugh wantonly! He has never loved Park Shiyi, and Park Shiyi has never loved him. Two people who don't love each other are kidnapped together in the form of marriage, each with a ghost, sleeping in the same bed and having different dreams, and not disturbing each other. In the end, she also gave birth to the child Xiaoji.

Thinking about his parents' marriage, Xiaozhi feels like a child's play. In fact, it was a tragic drama.

At the beginning, Park Shiyi would take it down by any means just because Xue Han was Xia Xue's boyfriend.

As for Xue Han, he is a playboy who is addicted to wine all day long. When it comes to women, he has always refused to come, and the more the better. Therefore, he did not refuse Park Shiyi's reason, and Park Shiyi is indeed beautiful and moving.

Koji was pondering when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

Who could it be? Koji glanced at the time suspiciously.

Come in! Xiaoji shouted, turning his head to look at the doorway.

As soon as Xiaozhi's words fell, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by a sound of slightly heavy footsteps.

Koji frowned, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Xiao Zhi was stunned and stood there stiffly. The person who came turned out to be the strange old man who was staring at him just now.

The old man struggled to lean on crutches and walked towards Xiaozhi with inflexible steps.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly took a few steps forward, supported the old man, walked to the sofa, and slowly sat down.

Excuse me, old man, is there anything you can do? Koji bowed and asked politely.

The old man stared at Xiao Zhi with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and said in a muddy voice. Don't you really know me? I've always remembered you, even to death!

Xiao Zhi's heart sank, and he silently looked at the old man. After a few minutes, Koji gradually remembered. This old man is none other than the policeman he saw as a child. After Haruko's stepfather was murdered in a ruined house, the policeman went to school twice a day to find out what was going on. Even after many years of the incident, when Xiaozhi ascended to the position of president of the Xue family, this policeman also went to the company to find Xiaozhi!

Xiao Zhi's eyes were dark, but he was extremely firm, without a trace of panic. Please, is there anything you can do? Xiaoji paused and asked again.

You're the same little boy back then, right? Although the policeman is old and seriously ill, his thinking is unusually clear.

I don't understand what you're talking about? I think you're familiar, you should be a police officer, right? Koji said.

Well, you finally recognize me, kid! I'm the police officer, the one who has been chasing Haruko's stepfather's murder. But now, I am seriously ill and unable to move, and I no longer have the ability to picket and solve cases. The old policeman said in a weak tone.

Xiao Zhi didn't speak, and looked at the old policeman steadily, without a trace of fear on his face.

Child, after all these years, don't you feel uneasy? When you can't sleep at night, or when you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, don't you never feel scared in your heart? Even if there is not enough evidence to convict you, there will be a balance of conscience in people's hearts! The old policeman babbled.

Xiao Zhi put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood up straight, looked down at the old policeman's face, and said. I really don't understand, what are you talking about? I guess you're a very stubborn person, otherwise you wouldn't have been misunderstanding me. Even, you are wronging me! However, I am really innocent, otherwise I would not be safe.

The old policeman smiled, did not speak, got up with difficulty, and walked towards the door.

Xiaoji followed behind him, watching his stumbling figure, ready to run up and support him at any time.

The old man walked out of the ward and looked back and asked. Who are you on the hospital bed?

Koji licked his dry lips and said. The man lying on the hospital bed was my father, who was now in a vegetative state.

The old man's eyes immediately showed a trace of pity and said. Child, it's rare that you are still so filial, alas! Come to think of it, the little girl who has been holding you back then is really a nightmare in your life! Without her, your life would be at least half as light.

Xiao Zhi didn't answer, looked at the old man softly, and gently picked the corner of his lips.

At this time, there was a burst of women's crisp laughter not far away.

Xiaozhi and the old policeman both looked over in unison.

Xiao Ji's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help frowning.

Looking over with laughter, the girl who came over was Haruko. By her side, the person who accompanied her haha was David.

These two people, they can really do it! After walking the road outside for a long time, I actually went for a walk in the hospital at night. Xiao Zhi sighed secretly in his heart.

Haruko saw Koji from a distance and gently touched David with her elbow. The two of them muttered to each other, then looked at each other and smiled, and reluctantly walked up to Koji.

When Haruko inadvertently turned her head and swept her gaze over the old policeman's cheek, her face instantly lost its blood color and became pale!
