Chapter 1143: Chapter 659 The Difficult Problem Given by Old Liu_2
"Do I have something for you to eat? Besides, weâre in the restaurant right now. If you want to eat, just go and order. Telling me is completely pointless, since Iâm not going to treat you to anything. What relation do I have to you people who came here for no reason?"
"Why should I have to treat you to food? Arenât you all just taking advantage of me? You came here on your own free will, not because I asked you to, so everything that follows has nothing to do with me. Youâll have to take responsibility for yourselves."
She was definitely going to clear herself of any connection to them.
Otherwise, they would swindle her.
Even though they worked with her father, what of it?
She wasnât going to pay any mind to it.
Nor would she consider them important, and she certainly wouldnât tell them her own affairs.
Qin Yuanâs lips twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless.
Still, he patiently said, "Liu Yue, youâre misunderstanding. We didnât want to ask you to treat us. I was just letting you know about my awkward situation. We havenât eaten, and drinking on an empty stomach could cause unnecessary trouble. Itâs nice that you want us to join you for drinks."
"But weâd prefer to eat something before drinking with you. Drinking now doesnât seem quite right. I know youâll understand, and after you do, you wonât keep asking us to join you for drinks."
"Just wait a little while, alright? Weâll have something to eat and then we can join you for drinks."
He said all this with complete seriousness, not even blinking.
Itâs uncertain whether Liu Yue would believe it.
Anyway, it was only necessary for him to express his thoughts.
If she didnât believe him, that was Liu Yueâs problem.
But if she did not, he would keep explaining.
Until he convinced Liu Yue.
Just then, Liu Yueâs brows furrowed slightly, and she took a deep breath without saying a word.
Jiang Qi no longer remained silent and slowly said, "Thatâs right, Qin Yuan is trying to say that weâre not refusing to be your drinking buddies. We just want to eat a little before drinking with you. Drinking on an empty stomach is really bad for your health."
"Now, Iâm curious whether youâve eaten before drinking? Are you drinking on an empty stomach? If you are, itâs really bad for your body."
"Just answer us, are you drinking on an empty stomach? If you are, then weâll have to stop you. Weâre not saying donât drink at all, just eat something first. Although your father doesnât want you to drink, weâre okay with you having a little."
After saying this, Jiang Qiâs expression became even more serious.
But there was still not a trace of expression on Liu Yueâs face.
Not showing any emotion was one thing, she didnât even seem to intend to speak.
Wu Zeyuan, sitting to the side, became somewhat impatient, cleared his throat, and then said, "I know youâre not satisfied with us now, after all, we were with your father initially trying to persuade you. But after realizing that approach was wrong, we thought about becoming your friends and letting you open up to us."
"As long as you open up to us, weâll definitely listen unconditionally, not just keep silent. We will offer you a suitable solution and hope you truly consider changing."
"Also, Jiang Qi just asked if youâve been drinking on an empty stomach. Think about it, have you? If you really are, you need to stop. If you keep drinking like this, it could really cause health issues."
Now, he could understand why Mr. Liu was so worried.
He must be afraid that Liu Yue was drinking on an empty stomach.
And worried she might encounter danger drinking alone here.
At this moment, Liu Yueâs eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I really wonder, why are you all so nosy? Why do you keep talking about this? Besides, I truly donât understand what youâre staying here for. I donât want you to go on talking here."
"I donât want you to solve anything for me, either. I donât have any issues. And whether I drink on an empty stomach is not much of your concern. If you want to be my drinking buddies, then donât say a word and keep drinking. Thatâs it."
"If you think youâre on an empty stomach, then donât come to be my drinking buddies. Just leave, I didnât force anyone. Itâs a free choice for everyone, and itâs up to you to decide."
As if I have a death wish, why would I possibly drink on an empty stomach?
She was merely rebelling through actions, not through life itself.
After all, she wasnât foolish to that extent.
But she didnât feel like talking to them nicely.
Now, it was time to see what they would do.
đŻđ»đźđđŹđźđđđ€đđđĄ.đđđ¶
Actually, she was quite curious to see if they would drink on an empty stomach.
If they rebelled, that would be best.
If they didnât, then they were truly foolish.
Now, it was all about what decision theyâd make.
Time ticked away, second by second, and they didnât utter a word.
She had no idea what their situation was right now.
But Liu Yueâs temperament was, by nature, rather impatient.
Seeing them silent, her expression darkened, and she immediately said, "Forget it, thereâs no point in you staying here. Besides, Iâve already given you a choice, and you didnât choose. It seems you lack opinions."
"Actually, I donât like befriending people without opinions. If youâre indecisive, whatâs the point of staying here? Itâs just a waste of time. Moreover, you donât want to be drinking buddies, and you have no opinion; you really have no advantage staying with me."
"Thatâs all we have to say. Now, please leave on your own. You donât want me to have to drive you out, do you? Imagine how embarrassing it would be if I had to shout at you to get out?"
Qin Yuan, Jiang Qi, and Wu Zeyuan were all quietly listening to Liu Yue.
Their expressions were serious.
And they didnât seem angry.
After all, in their eyes, Liu Yue was just a young girl.
There was no need for them to get angry.
Besides, Liu Yue was in her rebellious stage.
It was fine just to talk to Liu Yue nicely.
If spoken to kindly, Liu Yue would surely listen.
At that moment, Qin Yuan slowly said, "I know you must be feeling a bit irritable now, especially since we havenât spoken a word. Actually, being irritable is not a bad thing; after all, people have emotions, and if there were no emotional changes, wouldnât we be robots?"
"Weâre not refusing to make a choice; we just havenât thought it through thoroughly. Your options are indeed troubling, so we need to think first before making a decision."
"Itâs impossible to choose all at once. By discussing this here, we can also allow you to calm down while we sort things out."
In fact, he was trying to soothe Liu Yueâs temper.
Liu Yue was somewhat irritable now.
Since she was irritable, she needed to be calmed down.
It wouldnât do not to calm her.
After all, a young girl needs to be coaxed.
How can we not coax her?
Hearing this, Liu Yueâs face showed a slight change, but she didnât speak.
Just then, Jiang Qi interjected, "Yes, we definitely need to think things over. We canât just make a decision right now. Weâre not gods; we need to deliberate."
"I know youâre curious to see whether weâd choose to drink on an empty stomach or to eat first before drinking. Actually, thatâs exactly what weâre considering."
