The landmark of the Haitian project did not fall into the hands of Qiu Construction in the end, and Huo Dongheng was very angry about this.
Huo Dongheng is usually not a good-tempered person, but now he is getting angry again. He yells at him every day for trivial matters in the office, which makes his colleagues in the office panic. When he returns home, he also treats Qiu Bailu indifferently.
When Bai Lu came to talk to him, he just grunted and got over it.
Qiu Bailu knew that he was under great pressure, so she didn't care about him. She secretly learned to cook with Aunt Zhou, and racked her brains at the dinner table every day to cook Huo Dongheng's favorite dishes, but Huo Dongheng seemed to be completely unaware.
She talked trivially, so he simply didn't talk to her. As soon as he got home, he locked himself in the study, leaving Qiu Bailu alone and at a loss.
At night, he refused to sleep. Qiu Bailu was so uneasy that she had to stay up late with him. Finally, when he went to bed, she carefully stretched out her hand, wanting to wrap her arms around Huo Dongheng and give him some warmth.
and strength, but Huo Dongheng didn't appreciate it at all. He would directly push Qiu Bailu's arm aside and say stiffly, "I'm very tired, don't bother me anymore. If you can't sleep, find something to do by yourself."
.”
Qiu Bailu's heart felt as if she had fallen into a hole in the ice, and her whole body went from warm to cold in an instant.
She had spent countless sleepless nights. In those lonely dark nights, she told herself over and over again that it didn't matter. Huo Dongheng only treated herself like this because his career was not going well and he was in a bad mood. He didn't mean to do it.
He said cold words to her, he was just under too much pressure, and she couldn't help her...
It is said that if a lie is told a thousand times, it will come true. But the effect of Qiubailu self-hypnosis is even worse.
Her patience did not buy Huo Dongheng his strength. On the contrary, he later developed to the point where he no longer even returned home.
Huo Dongheng told Qiu Bailu that even if the general contracting project failed, there was still a chance to be a subcontractor, so he had to seize this last opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Because time was tight, he had to stay overnight in the company to discuss with his colleagues.
What should he do next? He hasn't been home recently. If he needs anything, he will ask his secretary to come back and get it. If Qiu Bailu feels bored, she can go on a trip with her friends and he will pay for the expenses. Qiu Bailu really wants to tell him,
She doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to be with him. It doesn't matter even if the project can't be won, and the family doesn't live on this project. Don't leave. I don't trust you if you stay in the company. I don't trust you alone with Ren Ying.
Together... But she couldn't say this to her death. She promised to believe him and trust him unconditionally. She couldn't break her promise. She couldn't be the woman he hated, otherwise he would be further away from her.
She could only smile and say to him, be careful with your body, don't try too hard, I believe you. Then she watched him leave.
It turns out that it is so difficult to be a good and indifferent wife, and it turns out that it is so difficult to be nice to someone.
On the day the Haitian project was signed, all companies participating in the bidding were invited to a dinner, and Qiu's Construction was certainly among them.
The reception was a great success, with businessmen and ladies in attendance.
However, Qiu Bailu was not interested at all. She stood by the window with a glass of champagne, looking at the people with standard smiles on their faces, and she felt bored in her heart.
She hadn't seen Huo Dongheng for nearly a week, and most of the calls she made to him were transferred to his secretary. In these seven days, he only called her twice, once to ask her to send Hai Tian's design
The drawings were modified again, and another time she was asked to send someone the repaired drawings.
Qiu Bailu went to deliver the drawings in person, but unfortunately Huo Dongheng went to a meeting. After waiting for him for three hours, she left exhausted.
Standing in the elevator, she saw a promotional advertisement for electronic products hanging on the elevator wall, which read, "Missing it is a mistake."
She smiled at first, then tears moistened her eyes.
After drinking too much champagne, Qiu Bailu felt that the air in the room was turbid, making her chest feel tight and painful. She apologized to the acquaintance who was talking to her, then turned and left the hall.
The weather in August was very sultry. Even if the sun went down, waves of heat were still rising from the ground. Rolling heat rose from the bottom of her skirt, and Qiu Bailu felt as if her whole body was about to melt from the heat.
She used her hands as a fan, fanning the wind on both sides of her cheeks, trying to find a quiet and ventilated place to take a good rest. At this moment, a person rushed out from outside the banquet hall and pulled Qiu Bailu to the
Hidden under the shade of trees.
"Xiao Guozi, when did you come back?" Qiu Bailu was surprised at first, but when she saw Qin Zhen's face clearly, she suddenly changed from happy to worried, "What's wrong with your face?"
Qin Zhen's handsome face had a long bloodstain for some reason. The scar crossed his eyes dangerously, adding a bit of cruelty to his whole person.
"Don't talk about me, what's wrong with you? You're so thin that you're almost like a ghost!" Qin Zhen looked dissatisfied at Qiu Bailu up and down. "I'm not telling you not to get married easily. Even if you do, you have to wait until I come back to get married.
What? Why did you make your own decision!"
Qin Zhen was very unhappy. He almost risked his life in order to come back early to see Qiu Bailu, but unexpectedly, it was still a step too late. It was just that she refused to marry him, but she actually married him.
That scumbag. Qin Zhen is a straightforward person. He is unhappy. His whole body seems to be filled with small flames of anger, and his brows are furrowed tightly. He is just waiting for Qiu Bailu's answer. Qiu Bailu's body is already full of anger.
She was very thin. She stayed up late a few days ago to work on the design drawings of the Haitian project for Huo Dongheng. Coupled with her recent obsession with home, she lost another ten pounds. She looked like she was floating in her dress. It would not be wrong to say that she looked like a ghost.
Qiu Bailu didn't know how to answer. She had many grievances that she had hidden deep in her heart, but now they came out when Qin Zhen asked her. She bit her lips tightly, but her eye circles gradually turned red.
Seeing her like this, Qin Zhen felt even more angry. He took Qiu Bailu's hand and said, "The grandson is not good to you? You don't need to say it, I already know it. You come with me, and I will find a lawyer tomorrow!"
"
Qiu Bailu was dragged forward by Qin Zhen, "Why are you looking for a lawyer?"
"Divorce!!" Qin Zhen shouted angrily, shocking Qiu Bailu so much that she forgot what to say.
