Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Why Didn’t You Tell Me Sooner?

”Yes, yes, yes, it’s indeed something our unit should do.”

Leader Liu, with a smile in his tone, agreed and then added, ”Old Song, what I really want to talk to you about is your adopted daughter. That girl is something else. As soon as she arrived at our unit, without a word, she easily knocked down the Yang brothers...” Leader Liu rambled on about Kang Li’s actions after entering the meeting room, heaping praise and expressing his envy at Director Song for having such a capable adopted daughter.

”Envious, huh?! Too bad your envy is useless, and I don’t need you to brag to me about how good my Li Bao is over the phone. Right now, I’m asking you, where is my Li Bao?”

Holding the receiver, Director Song’s face was full of smiles, his eyes brimming with pride and satisfaction, but in the next moment, the receiver almost slipped from his hand as he urgently asked, ”Tell me clearly, what happened to my Li Bao?”

Leader Liu: ”What are you anxious about? I don’t think it’s a big deal; she just looks a bit pale.”

”Not your daughter, so of course you can speak lightly! She can’t even walk on her own, and you still tell me it’s nothing serious. Liu Tiechui, let me tell you, if anything happens to my Li Bao, I won’t let you off easily!”

After hanging up, Director Song was extremely anxious. He wanted to call home to inquire about Kang Li’s condition, but realizing that Kang Li was probably on her way back to the compound, he felt helpless and could only fret.

Standing up, he paced back and forth in the office for a while, then thought about discussing Kang Li’s situation with Luo Yanqing, but he quickly had second thoughts, worried about affecting Luo Yanqing’s work.

Just as Director Song was indecisive, unexpectedly, there was a knock on the office door.

Returning to his seat behind his desk, Director Song adjusted his facial expression and casually said, ”Come in.” The door opened, and when Director Song looked up to see Luo Yanqing entering, his expression subtly changed, but Luo Yanqing noticed it.

”Are you planning to hide something from me, sir?”

Closing the door behind him, Luo Yanqing walked forward and sat down on the chair opposite Director Song’s desk, his expression indifferent. ”I’ve noticed it, are you sure you won’t tell me?”

Director Song’s mouth twitched, ”You...”

Unable to finish his sentence and seeing Director Song’s hesitant demeanor, Luo Yanqing became even more certain that something was being hidden from him. He couldn’t help saying, ”There’s been some trouble at my house, right? To be more precise, with Xiao Li...”

He carefully observed the changes in Director Song’s expression, noticing that despite an attempt to maintain composure, Director Song still showed some unnatural reactions when his young wife was mentioned. In an instant, Luo Yanqing felt a tightness in his chest and, without looking at Director Song again, he picked up the desk phone and dialed a series of numbers.

No answer!

He hung up and redialed, still no answer.

After hanging up and redialing once more, Luo Yanqing got the same response as the previous times.

Finally, Director Song spoke up, ”Alright, don’t panic. I’ll tell you.” As he spoke, he took the receiver from Luo Yanqing’s hand and placed it back on the phone, his expression serious, and began to recount what had happened to Kang Guoan today, as well as what occurred after Kang Li arrived at North City Petrochemical.

”Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Luo Yanqing’s fair and handsome face was cold as he stood up, ready to leave.

Director Song shouted, ”Stop right there!”

Luo Yanqing paused, turning his head to reply coldly, ”I need to go home now.”

Director Song tried to persuade him with kind words, ”Wait a bit longer, Xiao Li and the others should be arriving at the compound soon...”
