Chapter 415 - Unable to See the Light of Day (2/2)

Du Jingtang knew that it would be covered up by Chu Lui. The Li family would profit from this project. There was no doubt about it. A project worth hundreds of millions had hit the curb.

”What a huge appetite,” Chu Lui simply said. There was no emotion in his voice.

Du Jingtang shrugged. ”I'm used to it. This is not the first or second time. I wonder which project they have set their eyes on next.”

Chu Lui set the document aside. He leaned against the back of his chair and started to close his eyes and rest. A long time later, he opened his eyes. The rays of light shone in from outside and landed on his eyes, reflecting a sudden look of gloom flashing across his face. As he lowered his eyes, that look was gone as though it had never appeared.

”Get the contract ready.”

He pursed his lips. Du Jingtang was puzzled by what his words meant. Prepare what? The contract? Before he could figure out what was going on, something flew into his face. He instinctively caught it afraid that it would fall right into his face and ruin his dashing looks. If anything were to happen to his face, he would be heartbroken.

However, his eyes widened in surprise as a stack of documents landed in his hands.

Wasn't this…?

Get the contract ready. That contract? Was Chu Lui saying that he wouldn't give up on this deal?

”Go. I wish to rest.” Chu Lui's eyes remained closed. His voice sounded deep and distant, but one could easily hear his exhaustion.

”Oh, alright.” Du Jingtang's face broke into a wide smile as he held the documents and kissed it. The Li family was nothing as long as the Chu Enterprise was involved. They couldn't tolerate the fact that the Li's were hijacking their contracts every time after several months of hard work and effort on their end. Look. His cousin had made a smart decision.

He carried the contract and left. This matter would be settled. If he had to be involved, this would more or less be a done deal. However, he did not notice the agonizing look that had appeared on the usually calm face of Chu Lui.

Many things could cause agony to Chu Lui. His tolerance level was too high. One would never be able to see if he was in pain physically, emotionally, or mentally. Like now, no one knew that deep down what had affected this man.

He opened his eyes and put his hands before him. The bones in his fingers were well-defined with neatly trimmed nails. What had these hands done? Ha. He actually managed to laugh, but in his heart where no one could reach, he was sobbing. No one knew. Tears began to gather at the corners of his eyes, and yet he forced himself to swallow them back in the end.

He stood up, opened a safe at the side, and removed a stack of documents from within. Whatever he had kept in there were classified documents from the company or his personal belongings.

”This must never be revealed,” he said gloomily as he covered his face with his hands. Tears could vaguely be seen coming out from the corners of his eyes. Someone had left the windows opened. Fresh air circulated in the office. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the documents flew from his table. With a thunderous flap, that medical report with a hospital logo started flying with the wind.

The doctor's fine penmanship was on it.

Inability to conceive.
