The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

One truly doesn’t know the value of something until it is lost.

It’s now that she realized how much she loved this home.

Loving the flowers and plants, every single thing here.

And also the memories held within…

If this place is gone, her world seems to be incomplete.

How Hai Xiaotang wished, that this old house could be preserved. Grandpa must have wished the same.

…

Dongfang Yu had not contacted Hai Xiaotang since he left.

However, for dinner, Hai Xiaotang, along with Zhang’s mother, prepared a sumptuous meal.

She had a feeling that Dongfang Yu would show up for dinner.

Just as they set the table, Dongfang Yu indeed had returned.

Zhang’s mother smiled at him, “Young master, Miss said you would come, and you really did. All these dishes were specially prepared for you by Miss.”

Hai Xiaotang blushed instantly, “Zhang’s mother, what nonsense are you talking about!”

She had just guessed that Dongfang Yu might come, but she hadn’t prepared the meal specifically for him.

Zhang’s mother chuckled, “You two take your time. I won’t disturb you.”

Hai Xiaotang: “…”

Zhang’s mother was betraying her too quickly. Wasn’t it just awhile ago that she said she hated Dongfang Yu?

And now she’s siding with Dongfang Yu. What’s all this about?

Speechless, Hai Xiaotang looked straight into Dongfang Yu’s deep eyes.

He just stared at her like that, as though he wanted to penetrate her thoughts.

Hai Xiaotang quickly said, “Let’s sit down and eat!”

Without giving him another glance, she sat down and began to eat.

Dongfang Yu’s eyes flickered, and he sat opposite her.

“You…” But before he could say anything, Hai Xiaotang interrupted him, “What about the house, can it be bought back?”

Dongfang Yu answered casually, “It might be difficult.”

“The other party isn’t willing to sell?” Hai Xiaotang countered.

The man nodded, “Yes.”

“They wouldn’t sell no matter the price?”

“Do you know who bought the house?” Dongfang Yu countered instead of answering.

Hai Xiaotang shook her head; there was no way she could know.

“Zhang Group…”

This surprised Hai Xiaotang, “The Zhang Group involved in real estate?”

“Mm.”

“Why would it be them?” Hai Xiaotang knew about the Zhang Group. They were competitive with Dongfang, but she did not expect them to buy this house.

Dongfang Yu said somberly, “They plan to buy out the entire surrounding area to redevelop it.”

“But this area… Didn’t the government say that it will not be developed?” Hai Xiaotang asked with confusion. “They won’t be able to use it even if they bought it.”

“The document approving the development has already been issued!” Dongfang Yu stared at her, his expression serious, “I just found out about this today.”

Hai Xiaotang: “…”

She looked at Dongfang Yu in astonishment, suddenly realizing a possibility.

“Is that person targeting us?” she asked softly, probing.

Dongfang Yu nodded, “Yes.”

As she expected. Otherwise, Dongfang Yu, with his extensive resources, would not have been unaware of the plan to develop this area.

He only found out about it today, which clearly indicated a problem. The other party intentionally hid the information, just to catch them off guard.

And it also explained why someone would buy the house at a high price.

Her uncle probably agreed to sell the house because someone hinted something to him.

However, he surely didn’t know the truth and was simply enticed by the profit, being used by others.
