"Stop crying, Grandpa's heart will be broken by crying..." Mr. Zhang felt as if there was a knife in his chest.
Fortunately, every time the knife penetrates, it will cut away the rotten flesh in the chest cavity and bring out new granulations.
The wounds that had not healed for years finally began to close slowly.
Sheng Yuxiao's chest was also filled with various emotions. He said in a hoarse voice: "Let her cry. She couldn't cry before, and she didn't dare to cry..."
Yes, yes. Mr. Zhang remembered the contents of the variety show again.
She hardly cries.
When Sheng Yuxiao was injured on the show, she just cried silently. And crying should be a child's nature...
Mr. Zhang immediately changed his tone. He carefully hugged Li Xiaoya and patted his back: "Cry, you have endured too much... It's not easy, it's not easy to get to where you are today..."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhang burst into tears again.
Usually the doctor would always advise him to cry and hurt his health, but now he really didn't care.
The grandfather and grandson actually hugged each other and started crying.
"If this... continues like this, can the old man's body really hold up?" the chief inspector asked Qin Sui.
After all, Li Xiaoya's grandmother was just his stepmother to him, and the relationship between them was not very close. He just sighed in his heart, but he couldn't do anything to cry together.
Apart from being shocked, he was even more worried about Mr. Zhang.
Qin Sui was still calm and said in a deep voice, "It'll be okay."
At this moment, a strange emotion echoed in his heart...
Is it empathy?
It turns out that he can also have empathy.
In the end, it was Li Xiaoya who stopped crying first. Her eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them. She was even more embarrassed than the last time she confronted Li Jiang.
She grabbed Mr. Zhang's sleeve, sobbed and said: "I'm dumb, I'm dumb, I won't cry anymore."
Mr. Zhang's voice became hoarse from crying.
He touched Li Xiaoya's head lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I will listen to you."
Li Xiaoya got up from the ground, still holding the notebook in his arms.
She said: "Wash your face."
The chief inspector quickly called the Filipino maid to fetch water.
When the water was brought, Sheng Yuxiao instinctively wanted to get the handkerchief, but she held it back.
Mr. Zhang took the veil away. As a person gets older, his hands will inevitably tremble, but he still said: "Grandpa will wipe your face, Grandpa will wipe it for you."
But after all, I am getting older, so I can only leave the ice application to the young people.
Sheng Yuxiao applied it to Xiaoya's left eye, and Qin Sui applied it to Xiaoya's right eye.
The chief inspector was stunned.
This scene is quite unique.
"Are you feeling better, little duck?" Mr. Zhang asked with concern.
Li Xiaoya nodded, and then his stomach growled.
"Are you hungry?" Mr. Zhang looked at the clock on the wall, "No wonder I feel dizzy too. It's already past one in the afternoon, and I've been working hard until now..."
The Chief Inspector quickly said: "It was my negligence. I forgot to remind you! It's too late to make it now. Let's go out to eat..."
Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Jingui Hotel."
The food there might not be very tasty... The Chief Inspector swallowed the words on his lips.
After all, this is mostly to eat memories.
Jingui Hotel did not expect to welcome another distinguished guest so soon.
"Chief Inspector, why..." The manager came up to meet him, and then he realized that there was a familiar face like Li Xiaoya following him.
"Here for a casual meal with relatives," the chief inspector said simply.
A few hours ago, he wouldn't have said that.
Who would have thought?
Suddenly, the strange child became his stepmother's granddaughter, and in name only, he was considered his "niece".
And Mr. Zhang suddenly turned into the child's grandfather...
This is really a messy but serious relationship between relatives!
"Okay, okay, please!" The manager led them into the Chinese restaurant.
As Mr. Zhang walked, he also felt quite emotional: "This is the place Xi Nian has been to..."
The manager was confused.
who?
Mr. Zhang suddenly asked: "You are not doing well here? Your profits are declining year by year, and it will be difficult to sustain it?"
The manager looked shocked and said quickly: "What's going on? No, no! Our business here is very good, we provide bilingual services, we have hired a Michelin chef, and it's a business card from Jiangcheng!"
"Why don't you tell the truth? The locals in Jiangcheng don't come here much anymore. If they are in decline, they will be in decline." The chief inspector frowned.
The manager said to himself that you are not engaged in economics, so how can you understand this? When the news spread, no one came! Investors also have to stay away!
There is always only icing on the cake, there is no help in times of need. Only a fool exposes the true business situation...
Mr. Zhang didn't care about their conversation. He looked up and looked around and said, "It's very old..."
"But after all, it is also the place where Xi Nian and your mother made memories together. Wouldn't it be a pity if it collapsed like this and then sold to someone else and turned into something completely different?"
This was said to Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya nodded with deep understanding.
Mr. Zhang said: "I still have some savings..."
He looked at the manager: "Inform your boss to come over and let's talk about investment."
I have some savings... which doesn't sound like much!
The manager thought to himself, does this old man really know how much money it would cost to invest in such a hotel and bring it back to life?
Seeing that the manager was hesitant, the chief inspector frowned slightly.
But Sheng Yuxiao spoke first: "Why don't you hurry up and make a phone call."
The manager looked at Sheng Yuxiao's attire, and then at Qin Sui's attire.
I thought about the young master's tone again...
"Just for your sake, I have to make this call. You guys, just wait." The manager smiled at the chief inspector.
The chief inspector didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think we have no money."
Li Xiaoya said: "I have money."
The chief inspector didn't take it seriously.
But Mr. Zhang still remembered the cash that Li Xiaoya carried in a bag. Her grandpa’s family must also be very rich...
Even...Mr. Zhang had already vaguely guessed the identity of his in-laws.
The food was served quickly.
Now everyone at the dinner table seemed busier.
Sheng Yuxiao, Qin Sui, and Mr. Zhang were all picking up vegetables for Li Xiaoya.
The Chief Inspector thought to himself, then I wouldn’t be left behind, right? So he also joined the team.
"I won't be able to finish eating." Li Xiaoya looked at them worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, grandpa will help you eat the rest." Mr. Zhang said happily.
It’s as if it’s not leftovers but some kind of delicacy.
Fortunately, the manager came with their boss at this time.
When the boss received the call, he had just sobered up. He hurriedly took a cold shower, sprayed on freshener, and hurried over.
"I heard you want to invest?" He looked at the Chief Inspector.
"It's not me. I can't afford this money." The chief inspector shook his head.
Mr. Zhang said: "Yes..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Xiaoya took the lead and said, "It's me."
The visitor's expression froze immediately.
ha?
Are you kidding him?
