Chapter 1211: Chapter 693 Finally Got Some Downtime_2

He was getting on in years and couldn’t compete with these young people.

Some people, even if they can’t win, still fight with all they’ve got.

But he wasn’t one of those people.

Better not to bring trouble upon oneself.

The next second, Old Liu stepped away.

But he didn’t leave the area; instead, he sat down to one side.

For some reason, Liu Yue felt a sense of loneliness watching his retreating figure.

Was it her imagination?

He truly seemed so lonely.

It mustn’t be an illusion.

Yet as time ticked by, Liu Yue didn’t say a word.

Qin Yuan looked at Liu Yue, raised his eyebrows, and spoke slowly.

"You’re really concerned about your father right now, aren’t you? When Old Liu left just now, you seemed absolutely distraught; you do care deeply about him."

"It’s just that your father has done such things, leaving you feeling a bit helpless. But I think he will change."

"After all, we’ve spent some time with Old Liu and we really approve of his character; he is just a bit too stubborn."

He was still being too polite.

Old Liu was not just a little stubborn!

He was exceptionally stubborn.

It was the first time he’d seen someone so stubborn.

He just had to be more tactful in front of his daughter.

Liu Yue pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan felt he was probably right.

It seemed Liu Yue really did care about her father.

Otherwise, she would have chosen another path long ago.

Since Liu Yue wanted to reconcile with her father, they would just wait here.

Maybe her mother would call in a little while.

As long as she called, there was hope.

A bit later, Wu Zeyuan looked at Liu Yue and said slowly,

"I really admire you. You were brave just now, and you’ve clearly set your mind on handling this situation."

"That’s why I’m cooperating with you, and you have indeed thought about resisting in your own way; you’ve already done very well, even if what comes next isn’t successful."

"Don’t feel worn out. Regardless of the outcome, you will make a change, and I believe in that change."

How could he not believe?

Of course, he believed.

Now the main thing was trust.

And between friends, trust is indeed essential.

If there’s no trust between each other, how can it work out?

At that moment, Liu Yue curled her lips slightly and then spoke slowly,

"I am truly grateful for all the help you’ve given me here; if you weren’t here, I would feel so helpless."

"I am really happy that you are here, but am I really not wasting your time? After all, from what I heard, you guys are research scientists, and that must mean you have heavy daily tasks."

"You all came here for a meal after a long day’s work only to encounter such trouble."

They were indeed quite unlucky.

To run into such trouble while coming here for a meal.

It was so vexing.

And the problem was still unresolved.

Who knows how long it would take to solve.

So she felt they shouldn’t stay here anymore.

Thinking this, Liu Yue felt even more guilty and immediately said,

"You can’t even get a meal because of me; I’m truly sorry. I feel so apologetic. How about this?"

"Let me deal with this on my own first, and you all go back. If I really can’t handle it, I’ll tell you, okay?"

"I also think that’s a perfect solution. I really hope you can accept it; if not, I would genuinely feel at a loss."

It was indeed a perfect solution.

She didn’t know about them,

But to her, it certainly was.

I just don’t know if they’ll take it to heart.

Will they go back?

That’s really unknowable.

Liu Yue thought to herself quietly.

The next second, Qin Yuan curled the corners of his lips and slowly said,

"Actually, we’re not actually wasting any time at all, so you don’t need to feel embarrassed. How could you possibly feel embarrassed?"

"If you really do feel embarrassed, we’ll be unhappy here too. After all, our presence isn’t making you feel comfortable."

"Then how can we possibly be happy? We can’t be happy at all, so we just hope you can feel a bit more at ease."

He just wanted Liu Yue to feel a bit more at ease.

As long as Liu Yue felt at ease, there wouldn’t be any bad moods.

And they would be able to be happy too.

After all, if a friend isn’t happy, can they be happy?

Of course not.

So now it all depends on how Liu Yue reacts.

Wu Zeyuan also nodded earnestly and slowly said,

"Yeah, he’s right. If you feel uneasy, then we won’t feel at ease either. After all, we’re friends and we care about your emotions."

"So if you’re not happy, we can’t be happy either. Although we just met, we’re friends now, so we should genuinely interact with each other."

"Instead of testing each other out. We can’t do such things. We only have genuine interactions with friends and we hope you can feel a bit more comfortable too."

Jiang Qi also nodded.

He expressed his agreement.

But since they’ve all said what they wanted to say, there was no need to say anything more.

Now it’s up to see how Liu Yue responds?

Hearing these words, a faint look of surprise flashed across Liu Yue’s face, and then she slowly said,

"I just thought that being here might waste your time, but since you’ve all said this, then I really believe it won’t waste your time."

"As long as it’s not wasting your time, then I’m relieved. I know you treat me as a good friend, and I see you all as good friends too."

"But the premise of your help is that it doesn’t harm your own interests. As long as it doesn’t harm interests, my reaction won’t be so strong, otherwise, my reaction will be very strong."

That was her only small request.

She didn’t know if they could agree to it.

She hoped they could.

As long as they agreed, then there would be no problem.

Liu Yue thought to herself quietly.

Hearing these words, the corners of Qin Yuan’s mouth were hooked up again, and then he slowly said,

"Liu Yue, don’t worry. Even if you didn’t say it, we would still do the same. We’re not going to harm our own interests."

"Even if the other person is a friend, it won’t push us to such an impulse. We’re still rational, so just be at ease. You don’t need to worry about this one."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s just drink some beer and eat something. Standing here talking isn’t solving anything."

At this, Qin Yuan started to change the subject.

He had to change the subject.

After all, they hadn’t eaten anything.

They shouldn’t just keep wasting time here.

They needed to use their time wisely.

Might as well eat if they can.

Who knows, maybe Liu Yue’s mother will call in a bit.

Once Liu Yue’s mother calls, they really won’t have time to eat.

So now was the time to seize the opportunity.

Wu Zeyuan also nodded.

"Yeah, let’s eat and chat now. It can be more interesting that way. Just standing and chatting won’t do."

"Not just interesting, but also a time-saver. We just came here from work and haven’t eaten anything."

"So if we eat while chatting, we can have our meal and quickly sort out what comes next. That’s killing two birds with one stone."

His expression was very serious, not even blinking an eye.

I don’t know how long it was before Jiang Qi curled his lips slightly and slowly said.

"Right, let’s just eat something first. We’ve been chatting here for quite some time and are getting a bit hungry."

"If we don’t eat now, the food will get cold, and that won’t do."

"Alright, let’s stop talking and start taking action now."
