Chapter 717  : Do You Hate Me This Much? (17)

Lu Nanze’s car slowly picked up speed and departed.

Standing in the car park still, Qiao Lian looked intently at Shen Liangchuan.

He wore a serious expression, but his eyes glistened with complex emotions.

After a few seconds, when she was certain that he would still not talk about what had happened eight years ago, she looked away and turned to get into the car. “Let’s go back.”

Shen Liangchuan nodded.

And then, it was like nothing had happened a moment ago.

But Qiao Lian herself knew that she wasn’t going to get over this.

She had been at her most naive age, the time of her life when she had had the sincerest approach to love. Why had he missed the appointment?

It was also because of this incident that, for the last eight years, she had been conflicted about love and relationships.

In the days that followed, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan were kept terribly busy.

Time flew by and, soon, two weeks had passed.

Most of the building matters had been settled and soon they would be able to start the actual construction.

At the same time, they received the approval for the units’ pre-sale, which would be launched for sale the following day.

Of course, one couldn’t compare the prices of property eight years ago to the present.

Not taking into account the hundred units that had been sold eight years ago, if they were to benchmark against the current market prices in the locality for the outstanding number of 200 units, then overall, they would have made a great loss.

In the hotel.

Shen Liangchuan, Song Cheng and a few others were having a meeting in the room next door.

Qiao Lian, on the other hand, was holding the budget document that Song Cheng had just prepared. She turned pale when she saw the figures on it.

Even before coming to Suzhou to undertake this construction project, she had already known that it was going to be a loss.

But she hadn’t thought that it would be such a great loss.

If that was the case… even if the Shen family invested every last bit of what they had, the funds wouldn’t be enough.

As she took this information in, the room door swung open and Shen Liangchuan walked in.

Qiao Lian lifted her head and, as she looked at him, she thought about the sacrifices he was making for this building project. Her heart wrung with pain at once.

Taking in a deep breath, she walked up to him and held him tightly.

Seeing how troubled she was, Shen Liangchuan took the budget document from her and looked at the desk. He immediately walked over and closed the document displayed on the computer screen. Then he said to her, “Things are not what they seem.”

Qiao Lian knew he was telling her that to make her feel better.

Unless this housing project was sold at sky-high prices, there was no way it would profit.

But property prices weren’t something that he alone could control.

She bit her lip. She was about to say something, but the room door suddenly flew open and Song Cheng walked in.

He was usually a steady worker, never this frantic. Something must have happened!

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Song Cheng said in a panic, “Brother Shen, hurry and look at the news! Look online!”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian frowned and immediately turned on the television. She found a channel that was airing the news and they were reporting, “… the defective and low-quality building project from years ago. The drainpipes and such were made of the lowest quality materials. The incident eight years ago happened because the steel bars in the building snapped. And now Best Actor Shen has invested a lot to rebuild this project. The quality of the building is causing concerns.”

They went on the Internet to take a look. Most of the comments about Shen Liangchuan’s building were negative, claiming that the worst quality building materials were being used.

Someone even said, “Think about it. This is a project that is a certain loss, and the question is how much loss. Let’s not talk about the quality of the building, this is not an upscale housing project for sure. If they were to be using the best quality materials, they wouldn’t get their money back even if they sold off Best Actor Shen.”
