Chapter 1230: Chapter 703: Qin Yuan Clears Up the Misunderstanding
Liu Yueâs face flashed with surprise upon hearing this conversation.
But she quickly recovered.
Actually, there was some sense in what he said.
So, let him go over there.
Having Wu Zeyuan here to cooperate would suffice.
Thinking this, Liu Yue nodded in agreement.
Wu Zeyuan also thought his suggestion was good and patted his shoulder, "Yeah, you go on over."
Jiang Qi immediately stood up and went to where Qin Yuan was.
But he heard Old Mr. Liu say, "Donât deny it here, you just like Liu Yue."
Jiang Qi was completely shocked, his eyes involuntarily widening.
What was going on?
Who liked Liu Yue?
Did Qin Yuan like Liu Yue?
That was impossible.
They had just met, whence could such affection stem?
Why would Old Mr. Liu suddenly say such a thing?
But Old Mr. Liu wouldnât have said it without cause.
This was truly baffling.
Jiang Qi was full of questions, but he received no answers.
Old Mr. Liu noticed Jiang Qiâs arrival and was taken aback.
"You, lad, how come you didnât make a sound when you came over? Donât you know you could scare someone to death?"
"Next time, give a heads-up before you come, donât just sneak up on people like this, itâs very indecent!"
"What are you here for, anyway? Iâm having a chat with Qin Yuan right now, so maybe you shouldnât come over just yet."
Old Mr. Liu suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.
He couldnât have overheard, could he?
After all, what he had just said was about Qin Yuan liking Liu Yue.
It wouldnât be good if Jiang Qi had heard it.
Especially if Jiang Qi told Liu Yue.
That could really drag Liu Yueâs reputation through the mud.
No, he had to confront Jiang Qi and find out if he had heard anything.
If he had, then he must ensure Jiang Qi kept it to himself.
Just as Old Mr. Liu was about to say something, Jiang Qi suddenly asked,
"Old Mr. Liu, what you said just now, is it true?"
But after asking, he regretted it.
Why had he asked Old Mr. Liu?
He should have asked Qin Yuan instead.
After all, Qin Yuan was the person involved.
What a weird train of thought he had; he realized this only after asking!
Jiang Qi felt like slapping himself.
Qin Yuan heard what was said, the corners of his lips twitching as he became utterly speechless.
Actually, he had seen Jiang Qi approaching.
But he hadnât expected Jiang Qi to overhear that particular sentence upon his arrival.
And most importantly, Jiang Qi hadnât asked him but had gone straight to Old Mr. Liu.
Could Old Mr. Liu know more than him, the person actually involved?
He was genuinely aggravated.
Just then, Old Mr. Liuâs face dropped, and he spoke very seriously.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Thatâs simply impossible, how could they be involved? Theyâve only just met."
"Besides, you donât even know what we were talking about. You must have heard wrong, donât just ask about it, it makes everyone feel awkward."
"And to bring up such a topic... Also, why have you come over here out of the blue? What do you want? Are you implying I should go eat with you guys?"
He definitely couldnât tell Jiang Qi.
It would affect Liu Yueâs reputation.
So he acted as if nothing had happened.
And he even shifted the topic.
He couldnât let Jiang Qi keep asking about it.
Otherwise, he truly didnât know how to respond.
Hearing this, a look of puzzlement crossed Jiang Qiâs face.
"I just thought since you guys have been talking here, Iâd come over and chat, but I clearly heard you mention Liu Yueâs name. I didnât mishear."
"And whatâs this about mishearing? If I had misheard, I surely wouldnât have asked you like this. Itâs because I didnât mishear that Iâm asking."
"What exactly are you discussing now? Iâm really curious, whatâs got you so serious that I feel like youâre about to start a fight?"
He genuinely felt they were about to fight.
They seemed so serious.
Speaking without a hint of a smile on their faces, he truly wondered what they were arguing about.
He had finally come over only to hear this.
Hearing it was one thing, but not getting a response was another.
He had no idea what was going on.
Just then, Old Mr. Liuâs face momentarily revealed impatience, then he quickly said.
"What are you talking about, lad? I told you, you heard wrong. We werenât discussing Liu Yue at all; whatâs there for us to discuss thatâs so awful?"
"We were simply chatting about family matters. If you really did hear Liu Yueâs name, it might be because he just asked me about how I met my wife."
"Then I told him all about how I met her, including Liu Yueâs birth. Maybe thatâs what you heard when you came in."
He had to come up with that excuse.
Because Jiang Qi was adamant that he heard Liu Yueâs name.
So thatâs what he had to say.
Without that, Jiang Qi wouldnât believe it.
Given how smart the kid was, he wasnât going to be easily fooled.
Hearing this explanation, Jiang Qi frowned slightly, then immediately said,
"In fact, when I arrived, it wasnât just about hearing Liu Yueâs name; I heard you ask Qin Yuan if he liked Liu Yue."
"Did you guys really discuss this issue before I came? But didnât Qin Yuan just meet Liu Yue? Where could he have developed any affection? Old Mr. Liu, have you misunderstood something?"
