most charming

The bell rang, and after a few rings, a pleasant girl came from the speaker and asked, "Who is that?"

"I'm Guo Zhijian!"

"Grandpa Guo? Wait a minute, come right away!"

Soon, the door opened from the inside, and an "acquaintance" walked out.

"Grandpa Guo, why are you here?" Zhao Jing was very surprised. These military bosses talked on the phone when they had nothing to do. It's right to come to the door proactively, and now it's the one from Zhuo who comes to the door, and it's already a neglect in terms of etiquette.

"Let me come and see Lao Zhao!" Guo Zhijian waved at Lin Tao, "This is Lao Zhao's granddaughter, who works as an executive in a foreign company called something."

"Hello, see you again!"

"Lin Tao?" Zhao Jing couldn't close her mouth in surprise. Lin Tao's appearance here is really surprising, especially considering that he met near the silk wine last night. He also said to stay in a hotel, why? It was also unexpected that he could have any connection with the Guo family.

"It's me!" Lin Tao smiled and nodded.

"Do you know each other?" Guo Zhijian was also a little surprised, but it's good to realize that Lin Tao will do his best during the treatment. Of course, the premise is that the two of them don't have any enmity.

"We met once." Lin Tao explained, "I just met last night."

Zhao Jing wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end, but obviously he didn't agree with Lin Tao's statement, what is a coincidence?We've obviously met a lot, okay?

"Grandpa Guo, come in, it's cold outside!" Zhao Jing just complained a little in her heart, and quickly let the two of them in.

After entering the yard, Lin Tao noticed the difference. The Guo family’s yard was obviously much larger, while the Zhao’s’ yard was smaller, but it seemed that the house occupied a slightly larger area, presumably it was built according to different needs.

"How is Lao Zhao's health?" Guo Zhijian asked.

"Grandpa took the medicine and fell asleep just now. I guess he didn't sleep well!" Speaking of grandpa's health, Zhao Jing became very depressed. Like the Guo family and the Zhang family, Mr. Zhao is the pillar of the Zhao family. , It is estimated that this villa is about to change owners.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao will be fine." Guo Zhijian gently patted Zhao Jing's shoulder to comfort him.

Zhao Jing could only nod her head, no matter what, she understood, but in her heart, she didn't think that grandpa would get well again, and advanced liver cancer was almost equivalent to a death sentence.

After letting Guo Zhijian and Lin Tao into the room, Zhao Jing took out his shoes and asked them to put them on, and then said, "Grandpa Guo, sit down first, I'll go up and see if Grandpa is asleep!"

"Go, I'll wait if I fall asleep, don't worry!" Guo Zhijian waved his hand and took Lin Tao to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Not long after, two footsteps of different severity came from the stairs on the second floor. Don't think about it, the old man must have followed.

Guo Zhijian has a seniority in the army and can continue to sit, but Lin Tao can't. He has to stand up to show enough respect.

An old man wearing a brown sweater and green military trousers appeared in sight. Long-term chemotherapy caused his hair and eyebrows to fall completely, his face was dark, and his face was covered with age spots. His stooped figure trembled when he walked. It makes people feel sad.

"Old leader, why are you here!" The old man hurriedly greeted him after taking two steps, but he had to stand on the stairs to take a few breaths after he had just said a word. Extremely difficult.

A trace of unbearableness flashed in Guo Zhijian's eyes, he got up and stepped forward, helping the old man to sit down together.

"Xiao Jing, you go, I'll talk to the old leader." The old man's voice was low, and it took him a long time to gather strength to say a few words. He was about to die, and even Lin Tao couldn't guarantee whether his treatment would work. .

Zhao Jing waved at Lin Tao and said, "Go, I'll show you around."

Guo Zhijian whispered something close to the old man's ear, and he heard the old man say: "You go by yourself, he stays!"

Zhao Jing looked at her grandfather in surprise, then she glanced at Lin Tao, and finally she looked at Guo Zhijian. It was obvious that his grandfather had signaled him to do so.

"Then I'll go up." Zhao Jing hesitated, and said to Lin Tao, "There is a tea set over there. If you want to drink tea, you can do it yourself." After speaking, she went upstairs.

Guo Zhijian introduced: "Lin Tao, this is my old subordinate, Zhao Bing, who once saved my life on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, if he hadn't thrown me at the beginning, Guo Zhijian wouldn't be where he is now!"

Only then did Lin Tao realize that it turned out to be a fateful friendship, no wonder Guo Zhijian would not hesitate to use his own face to beg Lin Tao.

"Hello Mr. Zhao!" Lin Tao greeted politely.

"Just call me Grandpa, the old leader's grandson is my grandson." Zhao Bing forced a smile.

Lin Tao is depressed. Although it is an enviable honor to be regarded as a grandson by these military leaders, it is really uncomfortable to always be called grandson and grandson. In the dialect of the capital, grandson is a curse word.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhao!"

Zhao Bing nodded, turned his head and said to Guo Zhijian: "Old leader, your body is still so tough, I... I am very envious!" He took a few breaths, stretched out his skinny palm, and gently grabbed Holding Guo Zhijian's hand, "I'm going to walk ahead of the old leader, when the time comes... then Xiao Jing will ask the old leader!"

The corners of Guo Zhijian's eyes were a little moist, and he didn't cry out when he was hit by a bullet back then, but now seeing his old subordinate in this situation, he really feels distressed.

"Zhao Bing, trust me, you'll be fine!" Guo Zhijian leaned into his ear and whispered, "I was also diagnosed with stomach cancer a year ago, and the doctors couldn't do anything about it. They suggested chemotherapy. Is it okay too?"

"Cancer, as long as it's in the early stage, it's easy to deal with. I'm already in the late stage..." Zhao Bing shook his head lightly.

"I didn't have chemotherapy, and I didn't have treatment in the hospital!" Guo Zhijian gave the old subordinate a time to digest, and continued, "I just want to ask you, do you want to live?"

"Of course I want to live!" Zhao Bing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he firmly grasped Guo Zhijian's hand and said, "For my son who has disappeared for more than ten years, I will do whatever I want, as long as it makes me feel better." Alive!" Two streams of muddy tears suddenly appeared in the deep-set eyes, and Zhao Bing said tremblingly, "A few days ago, there was news that... a warlord on the side of the Golden Triangle seemed to know the news, I... I am not reconciled! "

Guo Zhijian nodded vigorously, and even Lin Tao felt very sad. He really couldn't do it to make an old man die in peace, so he made up his mind to do his best to keep the old man alive.

"Zhao Bing, listen to me if you want to live!" Guo Zhijian said in a deep voice, "Believe me, you will see your son again one day!"
