Chapter 1186: Chapter 681: Old Liu Is Using Tricks Chapter 1186: Chapter 681: Old Liu Is Using Tricks Liu’s father instantly fell silent.

But Liu Yue didn’t plan to remain completely quiet, instead choosing to continue speaking.

“Why do you have to say I didn’t refuse at the time? By saying that, it seems as if I’m tacitly agreeing with your approach. I clearly didn’t agree; I did resist.”

“It’s just that my resistance was futile, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t resist. Why do you say I didn’t resist? Such words can really lead to misunderstandings.”

“Fortunately, I’m not mute, and I chose to explain. If I hadn’t chosen to explain, then I really would have been misunderstood by you–I can’t even imagine what would have happened!”

Fortunately, she now chose to speak up.

Otherwise, she really would have been misunderstood.

Now she was really grateful she had a mouth.

She had a mouth before, but she didn’t speak the honest truth.

She also didn’t have the courage to speak her heart.

Even when she had the courage, she never confronted like she did today.

Just then, Liu’s father pursed his lips and then slowly said,
“Actually, you’re not wrong; I did refuse you back then. Do you know why I refused you now? Isn’t it because it’s unsafe for a girl to rent a place outside?”

“If it was safe for you to rent outside, would I have refused and not let you move out? Of course not. So my refusal, whatever the reason, was always based on something.”

“I wasn’t refusing you for no reason, nor did I want you to live in a greenhouse forever. I just wanted to keep you away from some unsafe things.”

His refusal truly had its reasons; it wasn’t baseless.

Although he didn’t explain the reason to Liu Yue, he didn’t feel it was a big deal in his heart.

So he didn’t elaborate too much.

He didn’t expect Liu Yue to see it that way.

He felt quite sorrowful.

How could he not be sad when he was misunderstood despite having her best interests at heart?

But Liu’s father didn’t choose to remain silent, instead, he took a deep breath and continued to speak.

“Many things can be avoided, and if they can be avoided, why not do so? Why let yourself suffer these things?”

“From the beginning to the end, I have been doing it for your own good, but you have never understood my intentions. You always feel that I am controlling you, treating you as a puppet.”

“How could a parent treat their child as a puppet? I just want my child to have a better life, to avoid facing unpleasant things.”

After all, everything he had done had its reasons.

How could there be no reason?

Even if there was no reason, he would come up with one.

But this matter did have its reasons.

At that moment, Liu Yue’s lips twitched slightly, but she did not intend to remain silent.

“You keep saying that you’re doing it for my good, but you are controlling me all the time. If you’re not treating me as a puppet, then what are you treating me as?”

“I know you see me as your child, but how is your approach any different from controlling a puppet? I really feel like a soulless puppet under your control!”

“It seems after hearing so much, you still haven’t realized what you’ve done wrong. You still think you’re right. Well, go ahead and participate in the experiment!”

She also thought the experiment was a good idea.

She wanted to know if there were any other kids who shared her strong mentality.

She even thought the experiment was the best proof.

The experiment would prove that no child could tolerate what she felt.

If it proved him wrong, then he needed to change.

Not to continue making the same mistakes.

Thinking this, Liu Yue curled the corners of her lips and spoke slowly again.

“At first, I wanted you to participate in two experiments, but now I’m only asking you to do one. Don’t you have time for a single experiment?”

“Besides, you’re not in the lab every moment; you come home a lot. I’m at home too, don’t I know your schedule?”

“I know your timetable, so I can confidently say you have the time. Since you do, you should take part in the experiment.”

Of course, she knew her father’s schedule.

He had plenty of free time.

Since he often had free time, he couldn’t afford to sit idle.

He definitely needed to participate in the experiment.

Otherwise, this issue couldn’t be resolved.

It’s not that she didn’t want to solve it.

Now it was up to her father to decide if he wanted to resolve it.

If her father wanted to resolve it, then there wouldn’t be any issue.

Liu Yue observed her father’s emotions, paused for a moment, then continued.

“It’s not the first experiment, but the second one. The second experiment is for you to obey mother’s rules for one week, doing whatever she says.”

“If you can’t stand it, then it proves your behavior is wrong. You shouldn’t control me all the time.”

“If you can bear it, then I have nothing to say. Although I’ve been under your control from a young age, if you can’t handle a week, then what right do I have to complain?”

With that, Liu Yue shrugged her shoulders.

The implication was clear.
