Ji Fanqin was startled for a moment and looked at the old man.

So, the old man died at that time?

"Yes." The old man nodded. Obviously, he could also hear what He Hongche said.

When talking about the time when the old man was hospitalized, the old lady burst into tears, "At that time, I thought he would just leave me!"

"Look at you!" The old man hurriedly wiped the old lady's tears, "You have become an old lady, and you are still crying like this. Aren't you afraid that young people will laugh?"

"But I'm afraid. You don't know how terrible it is when you are lying on the hospital bed. If you can't get up by that time, I..." The old lady was too sad to say any more.

"Okay!" The old man patted the old lady's back gently to comfort her, "Isn't this good for me? If you cry again, you will curse me."

"Well, okay, I'm not sad, I don't want to think about it anymore!" As soon as she heard the curse word, the old lady immediately burst into tears and smiled.

At first, Ji Fanqin really hated the old man, but looking at the scene in front of her, she was a little touched, and because of the old man's care for the old lady, she didn't care about him for the time being.

Fanqin is an old friend who is most afraid of leaving alone.

They are like wild geese. If one dies, the other one cannot survive alone.

This is probably why the old man refused to leave even after his death. After all, he couldn't let go of his lover.

The old man pulled up the old lady's shawl and covered her head. He said warmly, "The wind is a bit strong tonight. You can't stand here for so long. I'll help you in first."

The old man turned to He Hongche, "Sir, I'll help my wife in first." The old man pointed to the five-star hotel behind Ji Fanqin, "Set her up, I'll be out right away."

Although the wallet was returned to Ji Fanqin, the money there was missing after all, and he owed Ji Fanqin an explanation.

He Hongche nodded.

The old man still kept his word. After he settled the old lady, he came out immediately.

"You can't stay forever. You have to leave sooner or later. If you act like this, she will be even more sad and unbearable when you leave." He Hongche said to the old man pointedly.

"I know." The old man's face had long since lost the smile he had when facing the old lady, and there was endless sadness in his wrinkles. "But I promised her before that on her 75th birthday, I must I brought her to a five-star hotel to celebrate her birthday, so I can’t break my promise.”

The old man continued, "We took the bus from the balcony yesterday and rested in Qiling on the way."

"Qiling?" That's where Ji Fanqin got off the car and went to the bathroom.

"That's wrong!" Ji Fanqin said in confusion, "When a person dies, doesn't it mean he can't leave the place where he died?"

"He is at the end of his life. As long as he doesn't harm anyone, it doesn't matter where he goes." He Hongche said.

"Oh!" Ji Fanqin looked at the old man, "So there, you stole my money for the first time!"

"I'm sorry!" The old man said with a look of ridicule, "At that service station, Achu met a thief, and the thief stole all the money from Achu. We have been living in the countryside, and I was hospitalized last year. There’s really no money left.”

"But!" Afraid that He Hongche and the others might misunderstand the old lady, the old man hurriedly explained, "Achu didn't know that the money she had on her was lost. Stealing the money was my idea alone and had nothing to do with Achu."

"Aren't you a ghost? How could you let a thief steal your wife's money?" Ji Fanqin asked doubtfully.

"Girl!" the old man smiled bitterly, "Although I am a ghost, my abilities are not as strong as you think. When that man stole A Chu's money, it was daytime, and the sun was very strong at that time. I couldn't stop him. The man stole the money and ran away, but Achu is here, so I can’t go too far.”

"Achu..." When he mentioned the old lady, the old man had a gentle look on his face, with a hint of apology mixed in his gentleness. "She was originally a rich lady, but she followed me..."

The old man's words were choked and he seemed about to cry, but the man's unique dignity made him hold back, "Before I leave, I want her to be a princess for once!"

At this time, the old lady in the hotel was a little anxious, probably because it was her first time in a five-star hotel and the old man had been away from her for a long time, so she felt a little nervous.

Seeing that the old lady was nervous, the old man also became anxious, "Girl, sir, Achu is waiting for me. I'm going in. I will definitely pay you back the money."

After saying that, he waved to the old lady through the glass wall of the hotel, "Achu, just stand still, I'll be here right away!"

The old man quickly came to the old lady's side.

The old lady looked at the old man who hurriedly walked towards her, her lips kept moving.

Because of the glass wall, Ji Fanqin couldn't hear clearly what the old lady was saying, but judging from her expression, she was scolding the old man for walking too fast.

No matter what the old lady was complaining about, the old man just gently supported the old lady and nodded repeatedly to show that he was wrong.

The old man must have ordered the meal in advance. When he sat down, the food was already on the table.

The dishes on the table must have been ordered according to the old lady's preferences. The smile on her face was bright and bright.

Brilliant and bright, words like this are supposed to be used to describe young women, but now they are not inconsistent with the old lady.

Although she is 75 years old, she is well-maintained, with fair skin, slender fingers, and a gentle smile between her brows, making it impossible to tell that she is an old lady from the countryside.

It can be seen that in the past few decades, although the old man is not rich, he has pampered the old lady all his life.

Looking at the old lady's smile, Ji Fanqin couldn't help but think of something.

In this world, there are actually so many years of peace and quiet, but there are people who carry the burden for you.

The old man's heavy burden was exchanged for the old lady's peaceful years.

When Ji Fanqin woke up early the next morning, he received a courier.

"Who will send a courier?" Ji Fanqin opened the courier in confusion. Inside was a small gift box.

There is a piece of paper on the surface of the gift box.

It was from the old man, saying it was money to return to Ji Fanqin.

Opening the gift box, a piece of gold and jade appears in front of you.

This thing is too valuable. This gold inlaid with jade is far more valuable than the money the old man stole.

From a family like the old man and the old lady, this jade must be their most precious thing.

In fact, after learning that the old man stole the money to celebrate the old lady's birthday, Ji Fanqin never thought about asking the old man to pay back the money.

"This thing is too valuable, let's return it!" Ji Fanqin said to He Hongche, shaking the gift box in his hand.

He Hongche, who had been working with his head down, didn't even raise his head and said softly, "No need."

"Yes, this jade is much more expensive than the stolen money." Ji Fanqin didn't want to take more things from others for no reason, especially since the two old people were not necessarily rich.

"No need!" He Hongche didn't even change his words.
