Chapter 1201: Chapter 688: There is a Rift Between a Few People_2
Now, only Old Liu remained seated in his original spot.
His expression was very grim.
In fact, he had wanted to stop them just now, but he didnât expect them to leave so quickly; he simply couldnât stop them.
It was too awkward for him to sit here alone.
He really didnât want to sit here by himself.
He felt like calling out to them right now.
But there were many people around.
Their gazes were all fixed on him.
It was truly too awkward.
Qin Yuan and the others had already returned to their seats and sat down.
Wu Zeyuan curved his lips slightly and slowly said,
"Actually, I saw Old Liuâs movement earlier, he wanted to stop us, but he probably couldnât bring himself to lose face, so he gave up on the idea."
"Heâs been staring at us the whole time, he might be fuming to the extreme by now, but what Iâm really curious about is,"
"Do you guys think Old Liu will make things difficult for us at work? If he does make things difficult for us on the job, wouldnât that seem like heâs somewhat small-minded?"
This was the point he was very curious about.
He didnât know how they would respond.
Anyway, he was truly very curious.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan felt quite surprised.
It really was the first time heâd heard Wu Zeyuan speak like this.
But since he had heard it, he would certainly respond.
The next second, Qin Yuan spoke earnestly,
"Actually, I donât think Old Liu will make things difficult for us at work. After all, heâs not a person who abuses his power for personal gain; he wouldnât bring personal matters into the workplace."
"Although I havenât known Old Liu for a particularly long time, this is my brief understanding of him, and I hope Iâm not wrong about him."
"Thatâs what I have to say. Now, itâs your turn to share your opinions on him; I want to see what you guys think of him."
He really spoke without any reservation.
There was nothing to hold back.
What it was, it was.
Lying was pointless.
After all, they were friends.
If they were friends, then they shouldnât lie.
Lying was really the wrong thing to do.
Just then, Jiang Qi curled his lip and said seriously,
"Actually, my view is the same as Qin Yuanâs. I think Old Liu isnât the type of person who would abuse his power for personal gain; he wonât make things difficult for us."
"After all, Old Liu really doesnât seem like that kind of person; heâs just a bit stubborn. His intentions arenât bad; itâs just that his good intentions led to bad outcomes."
"Once he realizes that what he did was wrong, he wonât stubbornly persist. Thatâs my view of Old Liu."
Hearing these words, Liu Yue was completely shocked.
She had never imagined they would view her father this way.
It seemed that they werenât too disappointed in her father.
In fact, her father was really good, just a little strict.
Truth be told, her father really didnât have any problems at other times.
So she didnât want to reach a point where she would never want to see her father again.
She still wanted to meet him.
How could she possibly never meet her own father again? No matter what, they are father and daughter.
She simply couldnât bring herself not to meet him in the future.
Now, she was just waiting for a call from her mother, also hoping that her mother could truly change her father.
As long as her father was changed, there wouldnât be any estrangement between them.
Estrangement was really a very painful thing.
Itâs precisely because of the estrangement that they must find ways to resolve it.
Otherwise, they wouldnât be discussing it here.
Time ticked away second by second, and Liu Yue didnât speak.
All their gazes fell on Liu Yue.
Seeing this, a trace of surprise flicked across Liu Yueâs face, and she startled, "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly all looking at me?"
It really gave her a fright.
She was seriously pondering over things, but now, when she came back to her senses, she saw them all staring intently at her.
How could that not be scary?
Just at that moment, Qin Yuan slowly said.
"I was just watching you lost in thought, so I wanted to see what you were thinking about and to see what your opinion of your own father is."
"Do you agree with what weâve just discussed? As his daughter, I think you have the most say, after all, youâve been with him the longest."
"We only connect through work, but youâve spent a really long time with him, so weâd like to hear what you have to say."
That was their line of thought.
It wasnât to intimidate Liu Yue.
There was no need to intimidate Liu Yue at all.
They couldnât do such a despicable thing.
They really couldnât.
It wasnât about lying here either.
At that moment, a smile appeared on Liu Yueâs face, and she slowly said.
"So you wanted to see my reaction? I thought you were trying to scare me, as long as youâre not scaring me, itâs fine."
"Since youâve put it that way, Iâll tell you my true thoughts. Thereâs no use in hiding them from you."
"Honestly, I think heâs a very good father and a good person too; itâs just that his management style is a bit strict."
She truly believed that.
She wasnât just speaking well of her father here.
Since it was a conversation with friends, it certainly had to be honest and open.
When Qin Yuan heard these words, he felt somewhat surprised.
Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi exchanged glances. They didnât speak.
But they still felt quite shocked.
After a moment, another smile spread across Liu Yueâs face.
"If his management style werenât so strict, I would really feel very happy. I wouldnât think any less of him for his strict ways."
"I wouldnât feel that way. I would just persuade him here. I donât want more barriers between us. I want to remove the barriers."
"As long as the barriers between us are gone, we can get along well. I did say just before that I would take forceful measures."
She had indeed said that just before.
It was merely a measure of last resort.
If things didnât work out, she could only move away.
She couldnât possibly keep allowing herself to be wronged.
She couldnât endure being wronged any longer.
Hadnât she endured enough for so many years?
She had truly had enough.
It was because she was fed up that she wouldnât choose to continue enduring.
Time ticked by, second by second, and there was no reaction on their faces.
As if they hadnât heard a thing.
Seeing this, Liu Yueâs face was full of shock.
What was wrong with them?
Why werenât they saying anything?
Did they think what she was saying was incorrect?
Or did they find it insincere?
Did they doubt if she was telling the truth?
With this thought, Liu Yue immediately waved her hand and said,
"Donât think that Iâm not being sincere. I consider you friends, and thatâs why I am being honest. I really feel this way."
"Iâm not speaking on his behalf, Iâm just expressing my own feelings. But if heâs unwilling to change his ways,"
"then Iâll have no choice but to move out. I canât let myself be wronged like before. I still have to consider my own wellbeing, although I think that of him."
A flash of surprise crossed Qin Yuanâs face.
Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi exchanged glances again.
The expressions on their faces were still quite shocked.
The shock from just before was still prevalent.
A moment later, Liu Yue continued.
"But I have to think of myself too. I wonât be so foolish anymore, so rest assured. Donât look at me with those eyes. I think you have to believe me."
"The most basic thing between friends is to trust you. If you trust me, Iâll be very happy."
Not only would she be happy, but she would also feel very motivated.
Now, it was just a matter of whether they really trusted her or not.
But as time passed, their faces still showed no expression.
Seeing this, Liu Yue began to panic.
