Chapter 862 - 861 Regret
Looking at Du Juan’s noticeably haggard and thinner cheeks, Shen Hongmei, as a woman herself, couldn’t help but feel a touch of sorrow.
"In a situation like this, why didn’t Brother Chaobei come with you?"
Smiling wryly at the mirror as she tidied her somewhat disheveled hair, Du Juan said, "You know what he’s like. He can’t hold his liquor and he’s not good at mingling. His presence would just add to the chaos, so I’m better off on my own."
Shen Hongmei nodded in understanding, then began to express concern about Du Juan’s factory.
"Will you be able to start work before New Year’s?"
"I don’t know," her tone permeated with confusion and fatigue.
Although Shen Hongmei wanted to press for the reason, Du Juan deflected by smiling and changing the subject, showing concern for the child in her belly instead.
After a brief conversation, Du Juan’s assistant Wu Yongmei came over to hurry her back to the private room; several leaders from the Environmental Protection Bureau were waiting.
Shen Hongmei stopped Du Juan as she was about to leave, "Do you regret it? If you had chosen to stay at the food factory, you wouldn’t have to work so hard."
Du Juan turned around and smiled at Shen Hongmei, "Right now, all I can think about is how to get the factory up and running as soon as possible. I don’t have time to think about anything else."
