Chapter 1203: Chapter 689 No Compromise_2

"If you don’t realize your own fault now, there’s nothing to be done, I did promise to conduct the experiment, and now I’m just waiting for a call from mother, I’m not forcing you," Qin Yuan said with a slight hook of his lips, unable to resist speaking.

"After all, whether mother calls or not has nothing to do with you, so I’m not here pressuring you; I’m just waiting for mother’s response."

I was just waiting for mother’s response.

Now it seems like I’m pressuring father.

That’s not the case at all.

How could I be pressuring him?

I’m not that idle.

Besides, I want to gain others’ respect, which means I will definitely respect others."

Right then, Qin Yuan’s lips curled slightly as he spoke indifferently.

"Elder Liu, we’re not pressuring you here. You agreed on your own. Even if you didn’t agree, all our pressure would be useless," he said.

"It’s still up to you. Moreover, hasn’t Liu Yue already said? We’re just here waiting for her mother to call, there’s no other meaning."

"So for now, you should head back. We can discuss more once Liu Yue’s mother calls."

After all, there really wasn’t much more to say to Elder Liu.

Everything that needed to be said had been said.

Now it was time to send Elder Liu back.

I initially thought Elder Liu had no reaction.

But Elder Liu still showed up.

Since he came all this way, he should be sent back.

We can’t just stand here aimlessly.

We’d also feel somewhat uncomfortable.

And it’s not like I like having Elder Liu stand here either.

Liu Yue probably doesn’t like it as well.

Just then, Elder Liu frowned slightly before he quickly said,

"I’m not doing anything here, why do you treat me like a plague when you see me, rushing me off like this?"

"Speaking of which, I think you shouldn’t treat me this way; I’m working with you, and it’s really inappropriate to make things so awkward."

"Moreover, I really do want to resolve the issue with Liu Yue. If I don’t resolve the matter with Liu Yue, how can that be okay?"

His eyes didn’t even blink.

The whole person appeared very sincere.

As if he genuinely wanted to resolve things.

Seeing this, Liu Yue was rather surprised.

Qin Yuan also felt surprised but exchanged a glance with Wu Zeyuan.

He always felt Elder Liu wasn’t truly committed to resolving things.

After all, with Elder Liu’s character, how could he compromise so quickly?

So Elder Liu must be lying.

Elder Liu is just trying to pause things here.

What a clever idea indeed.

Truly worthy of being Elder Liu!

But then Jiang Qi couldn’t hold back and said,

"Elder Liu, are you truly cooperative? At first, you didn’t want to cooperate or do this experiment, and you only agreed under duress."

"Now you tell us that you will cooperate, who’s going to believe that, especially since you were uncooperative from the beginning, how could you suddenly be willing to cooperate now?"

"It’s just too hard for us to trust. We’d better not trust you so easily; after all, we’re having a tough time, and if we believe you easily, who knows what the consequences might be!"

After saying this, Jiang Qi intentionally paused,

giving Elder Liu a pointed look.

In truth, he was doing it on purpose.

To see how Elder Liu would react?

Elder Liu was probably getting angry.

After all, with things said to this extent, how could Elder Liu not be angry?

But Jiang Qi noticed there was no reaction on Elder Liu’s face.

As if he hadn’t heard at all.

Which indeed surprised Jiang Qi.

But he didn’t dwell on his surprise for long and continued to speak,

"We really can’t afford that kind of price, so I hope you can forgive us. It’s not that we want to send you away but rather invite you to sit down for a while."

"Actually, sitting down for a while would be good, after all, you sitting down would save us a lot of time, isn’t that great?"

"Besides, we just wanted to have a casual chat and drink some beer. Having you standing here really does affect our performance."

Although there was a deliberate element to it,

it was still the truth.

It indeed affected their performance.

They had intended to chat here, but now they couldn’t.

So they let Mr. Liu leave first.

They would talk when Liu Yue’s mother called.

But they didn’t know how Mr. Liu would react.

He would probably be furious.

The next second, Mr. Liu’s expression became very complex; he had been watching Jiang Qi with a look of deep disappointment.

"I was just complimenting you on being a good person, but then you treat me like this in an instant, you really disappoint me, and I’m not lying here."

"It’s just that you really disappoint me. I truly hoped you wouldn’t treat me the same way these two brats do, especially since I had just complimented you."

"Now, by doing this, aren’t you just slapping me in the face? My face really doesn’t allow you to slap it like this, so I hope you can change and not be like these two brats."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi felt somewhat speechless.

Did the corners of his mouth twitch again?

He was actually being asked to change?

It was truly shocking.

How could it not be?

He had never been so shocked in his life.

It was one thing for Mr. Liu to deal with Liu Yue, but to try to manage him too?

That was overstepping the boundaries.

The next second, Jiang Qi cleared his throat and spoke without much subtlety.

"Mr. Liu, I really think it’s inappropriate for you to use such words with me; I am not your child, so it’s really out of line for you to educate me like this."

"Even if you educate your own children this way, it’s inappropriate, let alone when I am a stranger. If what you did just now was an experiment on me."

"I couldn’t stand it for a moment, I can’t imagine how Liu Yue has endured it for over twenty years. She really is psychologically strong, I can’t help but admire how strong-minded this young lady is."

He truly admired Liu Yue, this young lady.

There was no false modesty.

Every word spoken was true.

Truly admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Yue’s face.

She and Jiang Qi exchanged a look.

Initially, the situation seemed troublesome.

But not anymore.

They would do whatever made them happy.

They had to do whatever made them happy.

If they were not happy, they would live in constant sorrow.

They didn’t want to live in sorrow any longer.

After all, it had been like this for over twenty years, and they had had enough.

After so long, it was time to change their way of life.

At that moment, Jiang Qi hooked his lips into a slight smile and said slowly,

"That’s why we’re here to help Liu Yue. We can’t truly empathize, but to experience what she has gone through would be extremely painful."

"We are very much against such things and hope that you won’t continue to be so stubborn. What’s the point of such persistence? What meaning does it hold?"

"You haven’t realized your own faults yet, and we can’t blame you for that, but what we want to tell you is, will you be able to change when you realize your mistakes?"

He really wanted to know if Mr. Liu would correct his ways after recognizing his errors.

That was crucial.

If he recognized the errors and didn’t make amends, then was there any point in continuing the conversation?

There was no need to go on, nor to endure the experiment.

It was all in vain.

Their purpose in doing this was to prompt Mr. Liu to change.

If Mr. Liu couldn’t change, then there was no need for them to insist any further.

At that point, Mr. Liu remained silent.

His entire demeanor became serious, and he didn’t even blink.

It was uncertain whether he had heard what Jiang Qi had said.

But Jiang Qi wasn’t flustered or in a hurry; instead, he observed Mr. Liu’s every move with patience.
