When Su's mother heard what little Suning said, she looked into the store and saw that the tall boy standing in front of the cash register was Ji Chi.
"So Xiao Chi works here." Mother Su said with a smile, "Su Ning and Tiancai are also tired. Let's go in for a drink and say hello to Xiao Chi."
Su Ci had no objection.
Today is not Saturday or Sunday, but there are many customers in the store and business is booming.
Su Ci and her mother sat down at a small round table near the door.
"What would you like to drink? I'll go place the order." Su Ci asked Su's mother and the two little ones.
"Any glass of juice will be fine." Su's mother was not very thirsty. She took out her cell phone and sent a message to her good friend Fang Qin, telling her that Xiao Chi was working very hard and asked her not to worry.
Little Suning pointed at the advertisement on the sign, his eyes sparkling, "Sister, I want a glass of watermelon juice."
"Okay." Su Ci looked at the little genius, "What about you?"
The little genius is wearing a blue plaid shirt today, looking so handsome.
He has lived in the Su family for such a long time, playing with little Suning all day long. The little genius is not as dull and introverted as before.
He pointed at the purple drink on the billboard with a slightly shy look on his face, "I want to drink that."
Su Ci took a look and saw that it was a grape yogurt drink. "Okay, wait for me. I'll go place the order."
"Sister, Ningning wants to go too." Little Su Ning stretched out her chubby little hand and held the hem of Su Ci's skirt.
"Let's go."
There were a lot of people queuing up to place orders.
Su Ci and her brother were at the end of the line.
Whether it is Su Ci or Xiao Suning, both of them are very good-looking.
The girl has bright eyes, white teeth and fair skin, while the baby has a white and tender face, chubby and so cute. You can tell at first glance that they are a brother and sister, and the people in front of them kept turning back to look.
Ji Chi is handsome, but before he came to work in the milk tea shop, the business was not as booming as it is now.
The boss noticed that many customers came for Ji Chi, so he arranged for Ji Chi to be responsible for collecting money and acting as the face of the store.
His decision was not wrong. After Ji Chi became responsible for taking orders and collecting money, more customers came to the restaurant. Every day, many female customers came to ask for Ji Chi's contact information, and some even took secret photos of him.
After all, it is not common to find a boy like Ji Chi who is tall, handsome, cool and attractive.
Su Ci was holding little Suning's hand. She saw many customers queuing in front of her were taking pictures of Ji Chi.
It seems that good-looking people are popular everywhere.
Soon, it was Su Ci's turn.
She picked up her short, stout brother from the ground.
"Brother Chicken Wing." Little Suning smiled, revealing his white teeth, and greeted Ji Chi in a baby voice.
Ji Chi saw Su Ci and her mother when they entered the store.
A hint of smile appeared on his hard and cold face. "What would you like to drink?"
Ji Chi was wearing the store's black work clothes and had a cold expression on his face. His smile made the girl in the queue behind him blush.
Little Suning was in a strange place, and when he saw his familiar brother, he was very happy, "Ningning wants watermelon juice."
Ji Chi looked at Su Ci, "Anything else?"
"There is also a cup of grape yogurt and two cups of orange juice." Su Ci's eyes fell on Ji Chi's wrist. He only had five days left to live.
Su Ci called out Fugui, "You ate a whole golden marshmallow of mine last night. Was it effective?"
In order to show that he was not a freeloader, Fugui quickly said: Master, Fugui can now see the cause of death within a week.
Hearing this, Su Ci's eyes lit up.
Although Fugui cannot see through a month, being able to see through a week is a big improvement.
She asked Fugui: "How did Ji Chi die?"
Fugui: He was beaten to death.
Su Ci was stunned. She looked at Ji Chi who was lowering his head to place an order. Was he beaten to death
What is going on
Ji Chi handed the receipt to Su Ci, "The order has been placed. You can go to your seat and wait. I'll bring the drinks over later."
Su Ci came back to her senses, "How much?"
Ji Chi wanted to say that he could pay and didn’t need to take her money.
The Su family has helped him a lot.
The girl had already taken out her phone. Ji Chi's eyes dimmed. "It's fifty-six dollars in total."
" good."
After Su Ci paid, she took little Su Ning back to her seat. Su's mother was messaging Fang Qin.
Ji Chi asked other staff to help place the order, and he went to the back to help prepare the drinks.
A young female staff member next to him followed him in.
Ji Chi is tall and stands out among the male employees.
The female staff member walked over to him, took his order, and helped to fill his drinks. "Is that customer your friend?" The female staff member smiled and asked Ji Chi softly.
Ji Chi put the cut watermelon into the juicer. Little Suning was too young to drink cold water, so he didn't put any ice in it. "He's someone I know."
"Ji Chi, does she have a boyfriend?" another male employee couldn't help but ask. When the girl entered the store, everyone was almost stunned.
The girl was so beautiful. Not only was she delicate in appearance, but her skin was also so fair that she seemed to be glowing.
Ji Chi lowered his eyes and watched the watermelon in the juicer being mashed into juice. He thought of the boy named Lu Zhe, "Yes."
Hearing this, the female employee breathed a sigh of relief. She blushed and looked at Ji Chi, "Are you still going to work part-time tonight?"
Ji Chi responded casually, "Yeah."
The young female employee looked at Ji Chi's handsome profile and whispered, "Don't work too hard."
She knew that Ji Chi's family background was as bad as hers, and that they both worked part-time to earn money and reduce the pressure at home. She felt that she and Ji Chi had a sense of kinship.
"Xiaoyou, I've worked with you for so long, but this is the first time I've seen you care so much about others." The male employee couldn't help but tease, as if he could see through the female employee at a glance.
Ding Xiaoyou glanced at Ji Chi shyly, and she turned to pat the male employee, "Is there anything wrong with me caring about my colleagues?"
Ji Chi ignored the two people's teasing. He put the four prepared drinks on the tray and took it out.
Ji Chi came to the small round table near the door, "Aunt Su, your drinks are ready."
"Xiao Chi, Aunt Su just found out that you work here." Mother Su asked Ji Chi, "I see the business here is very good, there are many customers, it's so busy, are you tired from work?"
Ji Chi shook his head. He carefully helped Xiao Suning and Xiao Tiancai put in the straws. "It's not tiring."
He once worked part-time night shifts at a gas station and tried standing for a whole night, but the employees here at the milk tea shop can take turns to rest and are not very tired.
Mother Su thought her friend's son was really sensible. She glanced at the time and said, "You're almost off work. Let's sit here for a while and wait for you to get off work. We'll go have lunch together later. We won't go home for lunch."
Ji Chi agreed.
... ...
Today is not the weekend, but this shopping mall is located in the city center, with many office buildings nearby. The flow of people gradually increased at noon, especially the food floor on the fifth floor, which was particularly lively with people coming and going.
Su's mother chose a Chinese restaurant, but the private rooms were full, so they could only choose a seat in the hall.
Little Suning and Xiao Tiancai were a little excited. The Su family had a specially hired chef, and the two children were young, so they seldom went out to eat.
They chose a large round table, Su Ci sat next to Su's mother, and little Su Ning sat on the other side of Su's mother.
The little genius sat on Su Ci's right hand side.
Ji Chi's position is separated from Su Ci by the little genius.
The Su family has always been good-looking, and the little genius is also fair-skinned with delicate features. Now with the addition of the handsome Ji Chi, this family attracted the attention of many people in the hall as soon as they took their seats.
She is so beautiful.
At the window in front of him, Boss Fang told Lu Zhe in surprise, "Xiao Zhe, I saw Su Ci."
He and Lu Zhe had just gone to a client company to sign a contract. It was lunch time and the company was nearby, so they found this restaurant. They didn't expect to run into Su Ci.
Lu Zhe followed Uncle Fang's line of sight and immediately saw Su Ci, a girl with a fair face. The girl was pretty and eye-catching, attracting a lot of attention.
Boss Fang smiled and said, "You two are so lucky to meet each other. You can meet each other in any restaurant you choose."
Lu Zhe curled his lips. He saw that Su's mother and two children were also there. He moved his eyes and looked at Ji Chi, who was separated from Su Ci by a seat. He was a little surprised that the other party was there too.
They had a harmonious atmosphere, and Ji Chi seemed to have completely integrated into the Su family.
Lu Zhe’s dark eyes darkened.
Boss Fang asked Lu Zhe, "Who is that boy? Is he Xiaoci's brother?"
Boss Fang had seen Su's mother who was rescued by Lu Zhe at the fire scene, and had also seen Su Ci's eldest brother. Now there was a strange boy who was talking to Su Ci. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, as he always felt that the boy's temperament was familiar to him.
"No." Lu Zhe told Boss Fang, "His name is Ji Chi, he is a guest of the Su family and is temporarily staying at the Su family."
Boss Fang looked at Ji Chi a few more times, and seeing the other party's hard and cold brows, Boss Fang turned back to look at Lu Zhe, and suddenly realized.
No wonder he felt that the boy was familiar to him. Wasn’t his cold temperament very similar to Lu Zhe’s
The boy looked very much like Lu Zhe when he first came to work in his computer store.
Boss Fang saw that the other party seemed to be chatting very familiarly with Su Ci. The young girl and boy looked very well matched.
Boss Fang frowned subconsciously and asked Lu Zhe, "Xiao Zhe, since we've met, do you want to go over and say hello to Xiao Ci?"
Lu Zhe shook his head, "No need."
Su's mother was also there, and if he went over there he would ruin the atmosphere.
Boss Fang had been through a lot, so he could probably tell what Lu Zhe was thinking. "Does Xiaoci's family know that you're with her?"
Lu Zhe did not hide it from Boss Fang, "I don't know."
Boss Fang sighed and said nothing more.
He knew Lu Zhe's situation better than anyone else.
This child looks cold, but he has a warm and gentle heart and always thinks of others.
In addition to a healthy body, Lu Zhe is better than others in both appearance and ability. The company received a lot of orders just after it was established for a while, and even the issue of Lu Zhe's orphan background no longer existed.
If Lu Zhe and Su Ci hadn't suffered from a terminal illness, they would have been a perfect match. Why would they have encountered opposition from their parents
Lu Zhe looked at the girl smiling at Ji Chi, he pursed his lips slightly and his eyes darkened.
Boss Fang felt a little regretful, and he quickly changed the subject, "I have some other ideas about this project that we just took on. Let's finish eating and go back to the company to discuss it."
Lu Zhe lowered his eyes, "Hmm."
... ...
Su Ci knew that Ji Chi was beaten to death, but she didn't know who the murderer was.
She planned to observe the people around Ji Chi in the next few days.
In the morning, she came out of the room with sleepiness still in her eyes, and happened to meet Ji Chi who was also going out.
The boy was still wearing all black, with a black backpack on his back. His facial features were cold and tough, and he was indeed very handsome.
"Good morning." Su Ci took the initiative to greet him.
Ji Chi saw that the girl's eyes were full of sleepiness, with a few strands of hair hanging on the side of her face, and her fair face looked even softer. He didn't dare to look at her any more, "Good morning."
Su Ci asked him, "Are you going to work?"
Ji Chi responded yes.
Su Ci said: "After breakfast, I'll go with you. The drinks in your store are delicious. I want to buy another one."
For a young lady like Su Ci, why does she need to buy drinks in person
She could just order takeout or ask the maid to buy it for her.
But Ji Chi didn't say much.
After breakfast, Su Ci followed Ji Chi out.
The morning sun is gentle and warm, not very strong.
Ji Chi usually went to work by walking a distance from the villa to the bus stop and taking the bus. He didn't want to trouble the Su family's driver.
After all, he is just an employee, how can he afford to go to work in a luxury car
Su Ci was used to being spoiled, she would never go on the bus with Ji Chi, "Get on the bus."
Ji Chi didn't get in the car.
"It's on our way anyway, just get in the car. Do you want to waste money to go to work by yourself?" Su Ci sat in the back seat, looking at Ji Chi who was standing outside the car with confusion.
Ji Chi did not insist. He opened the passenger door and got in. "Thank you for your help." He thanked the driver politely.
The driver quickly responded: "Master Ji Chi is too polite."
The car was very quiet along the way.
Su Ci got up early and leaned on the back seat feeling sleepy.
The sunlight shone through the car window and fell on her face, casting a layer of soft light, making her as beautiful as a fairy.
Ji Chi withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror, not daring to look closely.
The car stopped outside the entrance of the shopping mall.
Ji Chi got off the bus more than ten minutes earlier than usual.
Su Ci dozed off in the car for a while and then felt a little better. She felt that she had given too much for Lu Zhe.
After getting up early to climb the mountain and stake out the situation last time, I now have to observe the murderer.
In fact, she thought about letting Ji Chi stay in the Su family on the day he died.
But after what happened to her brother last time, Su Ci learned a lesson and knew that letting Ji Chi stay in the Su's house and not go out would not necessarily prevent accidents from happening. By then, there might be some reason that forced Ji Chi to go out, or maybe he had an accident in the Su's house
Therefore, Su Ci felt that the best way was to find someone who could kill Ji Chi.
If she can't find it, there's nothing she can do. After all, she has tried her best.
The milk tea shop is open and the employees have changed their clothes and are ready to go to work.
"Ji Chi, good morning. I brought two breakfasts today. Have you eaten? I'll give you one." When Ding Xiaoyou saw Ji Chi coming, she hurried forward.
Ji Chi refused coldly: "I have already had breakfast, thank you."
"Xiaoyou, I haven't had breakfast yet, can you give me some?" a male employee joked.
Ding Xiaoyou glared at the other person and said, "I'll save it for lunch."
"Oh my god, the beauty from yesterday is here again." The male employee saw Su Ci walking into the store and immediately patted Ji Chi on the shoulder, "Are you here with your friend?"
Ji Chi didn't respond. He went to the lounge to change into work clothes.
Ding Xiaoyou couldn't help but look at the girl with fair skin and an incredibly beautiful face. Not only was she good-looking, she also had a good temperament, not to mention her clothes and appearance.
You can tell at first glance that she is a girl who has been pampered.
Ding Xiaoyou bit her lip, pushed the male employee away, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "It's time to work, why aren't you working? Are you trying to be lazy?" She lifted the door curtain and walked into the back of the store.
Su Ci was not in a hurry to place an order. She walked to a small round table in the corner of the store and sat down. The view there was good.
She held her chin in her hand boredly, looking at the employees in the store from time to time.
Meanwhile, their messages had been sent to her mobile phone.
Su Ci felt that she was getting better and better at saving people.
She looked through the employees' information, which was all very ordinary, with nothing special to pay attention to.
Ji Chi is a quiet person and doesn't seem like someone who would easily provoke others.
Su Ci was in deep thought.
"Sorry, please move aside." The mop in Ding Xiaoyou's hand stopped beside Su Ci's feet.
Su Ci came back to her senses, looked down, stood up cooperatively, and made room for the other person to mop the floor.
Looking closer, Ding Xiaoyou found that the girl was even more beautiful, the kind of beauty that was breathtaking.
Her eyes are watery and bright, with a small teardrop mole under the end of her eye, which makes her indescribably charming. Her skin is very fair without any blemishes, and even her lips are lustrous and rosy.
The most important thing is that the other person is not wearing any makeup.
Ding Xiaoyou was mopping the floor, his eyes inadvertently falling on the girl's feet. She was wearing light nude pink sandals, and her exposed toes were cute pink and white.
She thought of herself again. She was also a girl, but her feet were not big, and the skin on both the soles and insteps was very rough, not at all so pink, white and tender.
The girl who was brought up in pampering is completely different from someone like her who started working part-time early to supplement the family.
The other person is so lucky.
However, such a pampered princess must be arrogant and not as considerate and worldly-wise as other girls like her.
She and Ji Chi have similar family backgrounds, both are children from poor families, and no one understands Ji Chi better than her.
Su Ci didn't know that she was being secretly compared. She continued to look at the information on her phone and observed the employees.
The Lu family is wealthy and powerful. After Lu Zhe was adopted, Lu Chen knew that his son wanted to start a company, so he simply waved his hand and gave the entire building in the city center to Lu Zhe as an office building.
Lu Zhe’s company is near this shopping mall.
Boss Fang worked until late last night and was not in a good mood today. He came to the beverage store and was about to buy a cup of coffee, but he didn't expect Su Ci to be there too.
"Xiao Ci." Boss Fang took the initiative to greet.
Su Ci raised her eyes lazily and saw that it was an acquaintance. She smiled, "Uncle Fang, what a coincidence."
Boss Fang smiled and walked over: "I came here to buy a cup of coffee to calm myself down, why are you here too?"
"The drinks here are delicious." Su Ci hadn't seen Boss Fang for a long time. "How is Xiao Kuaile these days?"
When Mr. Fang talked about his son, his face was full of fatherly love and a big smile. "He can walk just like a normal person now, and his prosthesis has adapted very well. When school starts in September, I plan to send him to kindergarten."
Su Ci likes Xiao Kuaile very much. He is sensible and well-behaved. "That's great. My two younger brothers will also go to kindergarten by then."
After some discussion, Uncle Fang found out that Su Ci's two younger brothers were enrolled in the same kindergarten as his son. Although the tuition there was expensive, he wanted to give his son the best, so he gritted his teeth and let him in.
The Su family’s children also go to that kindergarten, so it seems that his choice was right.
"I hope they can be in the same class and become good friends." Su Ci felt that the three children had similar personalities. They were well-behaved, sensible, and wouldn't make trouble.
Boss Fang smiled and said, "It depends on whether the children have a destiny."
After chatting for a few words, Boss Fang had to rush back to work. He didn't say anything more to Su Ci. He walked to the cashier to place the order.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Boss Fang turned back in surprise to look at Su Ci who had already sat back in his seat.
A bad thought couldn't help but surge from his heart.
When he returned to the company, Boss Fang happened to see the young man walking out of the office with documents.
"There are missing data here, please check it again." Lu Zhe handed the document to an employee. His face was stern, and even though he didn't scold the employee, the other party became nervous subconsciously.
"Uncle Fang." Lu Zhe turned around and saw Uncle Fang holding a cup of coffee.
The boy was very attentive. "Is there no coffee in the tea room? I'll ask someone to buy some later."
"The Human Resources Department will handle such a small matter." Boss Fang looked at Lu Zhe with a hesitant and conflicted expression.
Lu Zhe was wearing a white shirt of excellent texture today, with the buttons buttoned to the highest point of the collar, looking serious and abstinent.
He stood straight with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong and sturdy arms. He had the youthfulness of a boy, but also the steadiness of a man.
Deadly handsome.
Lu Zhe noticed that Boss Fang looked different, "What's wrong?"
Boss Fang hesitated for a second before finally saying, "When I went to buy coffee just now, I saw Xiao Ci in the beverage store. She should not have left yet. Don't be busy with work all day. Girls also need your attention and companionship."
Boss Fang suggested to him: "Xiao Ci should still be in the beverage store. Why don't you take a day off today and go shopping with her?"
Lu Zhe chuckled, "No need, she knows I'm following up on a project recently, and she asked me to find her after I'm done."
Although Su Ci was sometimes clingy and annoying, she was not unreasonable. When she knew he was busy, she would wait for him obediently.
Boss Fang couldn't help but glare at Lu Zhe, thinking that Lu Zhe was disappointing.
Not only does that boy resemble Lu Zhe in temperament, he also lives in the Su family. It's too easy for something to happen to him since he's so close to the Su family.
Moreover, although it is painful, one thing that must be admitted is that the boy has a healthy body.
