I Once Loved You Humbly - C194

Bo Lengqing has been working overtime recently and would usually be back around 4 to 5 in the afternoon. Recently, he would only come back late into the night everyday and sometimes, when he came back, I would already be asleep.

Today was the children’s birthday, so I picked them up from my uncle’s. She said that she would stay with us, so I prepared dinner, but he didn’t come back until after eight in the evening.

“Mommy, why didn’t Daddy come back?” Rui Rui, who was wearing a crown on his head, looked at me curiously.

“You two be good, Daddy might have to work overtime today …”

“But we’re so hungry …” Yuan Yuan looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed his saliva.

“How about this, you guys eat first. Mom will wait for daddy to come home and eat together, okay?”

“Then let’s wait for daddy to come back and eat!” Rui Rui nodded obediently.

After the children were done eating, I played with them for a while before giving them a bath and coaxing them to sleep. At ten o’clock in the evening, he still hadn’t come back.

I put the birthday cake in the fridge, reheated the meal, and carried it back to the table. I sat on the couch, watching the TV, and waited for him to come back.

Unknowingly, I was sleepy, and in a daze, I felt someone tuck in my blanket.

When I opened my eyes, I saw him looking exhausted.

“Hubby, you’re back?” I got up. “You probably haven’t eaten yet. There’s food in the kitchen. I’ll go heat up the dishes for you.”

“Alright.” He sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water. He closed his eyes and looked tired.

After heating up the food and bringing it over to him, he only ate a few mouthfuls before putting the bowl aside. He wrinkled his brow in pain.

“What’s the matter with you?” I walked over to ask him in concern. He shook his head and took out some general painkillers from the drawer under the tea table. He took them in cold water and ate them.

I took a look at the painkiller box, which was used to suppress stomach pains.

I know that people like them, who have been busy at work for a long time and whose bodies are unstable, more or less suffer from some disease, but this is the first time he has ever shown it to me.

“Is there something wrong with my stomach? I’ll make you some stomach-nourishing soup. ” I immediately got up to go to the kitchen, but he held my hand.

“You’re not taking it? Just stay here with me, okay?” A faint scent of wood came from his body, making it hard for people to take a step forward.

“Hubby, what happened recently? Is the company’s business very troublesome? You work overtime every day, so you definitely haven’t had a proper meal yet, right? Starting tomorrow, I will prepare the rice and send it to your company. You can’t not eat! “What do we do if we break our stomachs …”

I lay in his arms and carefully rubbed his stomach.

He closed his eyes to rest. “Recently the company has accepted a project to develop the old city district. The mission is very temporary. The plan and various things are decided on on a temporary basis, so I have been busy recently …”

“Developing an old city district?”

“Yes, the old city is very crowded. We plan to set up a business circle there.” As he spoke, he took out his tablet and showed me their plans.

“But the places you plan to introduce us to are mostly shanty towns. If it’s commercial houses, it’s easier to handle them, but these residential buildings …” I frowned.

Most real estate developers would be cautious when deciding to develop their old city district, because everyone knew that many owners in the old city district had feelings for their old house, which was a little difficult to deal with. The compensation terms that were put forward would not allow them to move the house unless they met their requirements.

I know what you are worried about, I have Black Hawk watching me, the problem with the nail-like family will always exist as long as there are people around, but I will take care of it well, don’t worry.

He rubbed his temples.

The painkillers worked quickly, and his pain was better before he went to take a shower and rest.

I knew the intensity of his recent work, and I knew his character. When he was busy, he probably didn’t even care about drinking water, let alone eating.

If this continued, his body would eventually have problems.

So I’ll make dinner and take it to the office.

After a week of this, he would squeeze out half an hour a day to eat with me, and after that he would go back to work.

That day, as usual, I was troubled to send her to the office, but she wasn’t there. Even Black Hawk, who was usually in charge of receiving me, wasn’t there.

I looked at my watch in bewilderment. It was already 12: 30 P.M., and normally he would have come back to rest.

After placing the food on the table, I went outside to get some fresh air. However, I saw that the meeting room’s doors were still tightly shut.

What had happened? The meeting had been held up till now?

I thought, at this moment, that the door of the conference room suddenly opened and I saw the employees of the company coming out of the conference room one by one, and he was still sitting in his seat, his face grave.

After seeing that most of the people had left, I walked in and sat beside him.

“You don’t look happy. Is something wrong?”

“Do you remember the question you discussed with me last time?”

I nodded.

“A hundred times out of a hundred, something has happened.”

My heart thumped as I instantly had a bad premonition.

“What happened?”

“In that old city area, there are a few elderly people who say that they are unwilling to move no matter what, and they were originally planning to find someone to have a good talk with, but the demolition team that was invited was ordered by who knows where and directly tore one of them down. That family’s young people all went out to work, leaving behind an old man in his eighties, and a babbling baby, directly … was buried alive. ”

I took a deep breath. “How can this be?!”

“Things have gotten out of hand. The family’s relatives have all come back from the outside and are at the construction site every day. They are crying and shouting that they will not leave no matter what. The demolition team’s work can only stop.”

I’m afraid nothing happened. He said it so simply that not only did the demolition team have to stop, but if the victim’s family sued the company, the whole company would be implicated. After all, these two people were alive and well!

“What are you going to do now?”

“I’ve already asked the people below to block the news. The main problem lies in the demolition team hired by the company. Someone had done something to the company’s higher ups.”

“Have you found out who it is?!” I had already suspected that there was a spy in the company. Ever since the incident when I was filming with Bo Lengqing, I had already suspected that there was a mole.

“It’s the leader of the demolition team.” Bo Lengqing said expressionlessly: “He is Bo Xiao’s man.”

“Bo Xiao?! “That idiot …”

“Don’t think that he is just a pillow that is engrossed with beautiful women. He knows how much he has and will spend his resources on the most important things.” Bo Lengqing laughed coldly, “At the moment when you were the most careless, you took the opportunity to sneak in and catch you off guard.”

“Then you have to be careful, I’m afraid this matter cannot be suppressed.” Bo Xiao and the others had always wanted to snatch the company back from Bo Lengqing’s hands. If this matter got out of hand, it would only affect the company and Bo Lengqing’s reputation.

“Of course I know that… However, do you think that I will give them some leeway to breathe? ” The corner of Bo Lengqing’s mouth hooked into a cold smile.

Just then, Black Hawk knocked on the door and walked in.

“CEO, everything’s done.”

Bo Lengqing nodded his head: “Find a few people, and make them vomit all the stuff in their stomachs. No matter what, if they can say a few more names, then say a few more, and let them know the outcome of treating human life as grass!”

“Yes.”

When I saw that he seemed to be in control of the situation, I instantly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he had confidence in me, I wouldn’t have to worry about him.

“No matter how busy you are at work and how many things you have to do, you must not forget to eat your meal. After this matter is over, you must let yourself rest well. Your recent work intensity is too great.”

“I know, next birthday… I’ll make it up to you. ” He looked guilty.

“That’s what you said!” I got up from my chair and held out my hand to him.

“Let’s go, I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for you today. You should eat more today.”

He smiled and took my hand. He pulled me into his arms.
