Chapter 1185: Chapter 680 Old Man Liu Begins to Turn Hostile_2 Chapter 1185: Chapter 680 Old Man Liu Begins to Turn Hostile_2 “So your idea really won’t come to fruition, you should stop harboring such crooked thoughts and focus all your attention on your own daughter instead.”

He was indeed harboring crooked thoughts.

He was even thinking about sowing discord between them.

Tsk, impressive that Old Liu could come up with such an idea.

How could we be so easily swayed?

Thinking too much.

No matter what, we won’t be swayed.

Our main strength lies in mutual trust.

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Old Liu’s face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Standing to the side, Wu Zeyuan curled his lips and then slowly said.

“In fact, as soon as you said these words, we knew what you meant, you just wanted us to have a rift with Qin Yuan because of this sentence.”

“But how could we possibly have a rift with him because of this sentence? This is not a big deal at all, so it’s not important to us.”

“We won’t care, we definitely won’t start arguing over just a few words, so far nothing has been able to make us argue.”

At this point, Wu Zeyuan deliberately paused.

He didn’t continue speaking.

Because he was observing the changing emotions of Old Liu.

After observing, Wu Zeyuan curled his lips and added, “Don’t waste so much effort here, better to put your thoughts into your own daughter instead.”

They never should have put those thoughts onto them in the first place.

Those thoughts should be on Old Liu himself.

If one’s thoughts are wasted on them, isn’t that just wasting time?

Now it’s just to see whether Old Liu realizes his mistake or not?

If he doesn’t, then there’s nothing to be said.

Time passed by the minute and second, no expression appeared on Old Liu’s face.

After a while, Qin Yuan slowly said.

“Old Liu, since your scheme has been seen through, I won’t talk about this matter any longer. Now, I want to discuss another matter with you.”

“Do you want to conduct an experiment? The experiment really won’t take long, just a bit of time to complete. If you don’t do the experiment, it really baffles us.”

“So we are waiting for your answer now, as long as you answer us, we won’t talk anymore and won’t go on rambling.”

Now it’s just a matter of how Old Liu responds.

Anyway, they have plenty of patience.

All they need is an answer from Old Liu.

God knows how long it was before Old Liu’s face showed a trace of disdain, and then he immediately said.

“Qin Yuan, I originally thought you were different from them, but how come you’re the same as them? It seems you have really been assimilated by them.”

“Birds of a feather flock together, this saying is indeed true. I am very disappointed in you now, and I hope you can change.”

“After all, you were not like this when I first met you. This change in you is quite baffling to me and somewhat hard to accept.”

He didn’t even blink his eyes.

He was watching Qin Yuan very seriously.

He didn’t even let Qin Yuan avoid his gaze.

This was clearly putting Qin Yuan in the spotlight.

But there was not a hint of panic on Qin Yuan’s face; his whole demeanor became very calm.

He was silent for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and immediately said.

“Old Liu, I know that right now you are pinning all your hopes on me, but I am already on the same side with them.”

“Why are you directing your attention at me? You should be communicating with Liu Yue about the issues between you and Liu Yue. What’s the use of telling us all this?”

“We just want to help solve Liu Yue’s problems. Now, let me make things clear again, we won’t leave until Liu Yue’s issues are resolved.”

Issues must be resolved before leaving.

How can we leave with things only halfway solved?

Moreover, they aren’t that sort of people; they see things through to the end.

So, I will definitely resolve the matter before I leave here.

As time ticked away, Liu the elder found himself unable to utter a single word.

However, a radiant smile appeared on the faces of Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qiqi.

Qin Yuan’s eloquence was indeed impressive.

With just a few sentences, he had rendered Liu the elder speechless.

This was precisely the effect they had wanted.

They were extremely satisfied with this outcome.

At that moment, Liu Yue’s gaze once again fell on Liu the elder, her eyes resolute.

“Since things have come to this point, it’s time for me to step up. You always say that this is a matter between you and me, so now I am going to deal with you.”

“I hope you can work this out with me sincerely. If you refuse to do so, all I can do next is to escape. Not to avoid this issue, but to avoid you.”

“If you won’t deal with me, causing me to feel distressed, how could I possibly continue to obey your orders? I will definitely avoid you and would not want to see you.”

Anyway, that would be the worst-case scenario for her.

Although she didn’t know if the worst would come to pass, she might as well say it now.

After all, there was no harm in saying these things now.

And if it really came to that, she would feel relieved.

Just then, Liu the elder’s expression suddenly became grave.

He stared at Liu Yue for a moment, but not a word escaped his lips.

The next moment, Liu Yue curled the corners of her lips and spoke slowly.

“Father, why are you staring at me like that? Don’t tell me you don’t want to resolve this issue with me? Your gaze truly gives me the chills!”

“Besides, don’t look at them. This matter doesn’t have much to do with them, it is my own decision. Since it’s my choice, you shouldn’t blame them.”

“Moreover, didn’t you have any reaction to what I just said? Don’t you have anything to say? If you have nothing to say, then I won’t speak further.”

In other words, she would leave this place now.

She would start to avoid him now.

She guessed that once she fled, it would be for a lifetime.

It was impossible to continue living with him.

After more than a decade, twenty years together, it had been far too oppressive.

She was tired of such a life.

To be honest, very few people are as strong as she is.

Many people can’t stand it and choose to end themselves.

But she wasn’t going to make such a decision so easily.

After all, she had not yet seen the vast and beautiful world outside, how could she contentedly leave?

Moreover, life is meant to be lived for oneself, so don’t worry too much. If it can’t be resolved, then escape.

There’s really nothing so terrible about that.

Liu Yue thought to herself.

After a while, Liu the elder furrowed his brow and said in a grave tone.

“Liu Yue, what exactly are you saying? You actually want to move out? Haven’t I already told you? It’s very unsafe for a girl to rent a place outside.”

“Moreover, you agreed you wouldn’t move out. What do you mean now? Just because I don’t agree with not disciplining you, you’re going to use this method to force me?”

“I can understand that the words you said just now were spoken in anger, but I hope you won’t speak like that again. It’s getting late, and you’ve had a bit to drink. Come back with me and rest.”

This was not an inquiry into Liu Yue’s wishes but a command.

He was ordering Liu Yue to go back with him.

This command was not open to discussion.

Liu Yue had heard this tone many times before, so much that her ears nearly blistered.

She was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

“When I said I wanted to move out and live on my own, you refused me, saying it’s unsafe for a girl to rent a place outside. In the end, I chose to compromise.”

“Because I knew that besides compromising, I had no other choice. I’ve never been able to outdrink you since I was young, so I also became numb and stopped resisting.”

At that time, I truly felt extremely exhausted, so I gave up struggling.
