Chapter 1201: Chapter 688: There is a Rift Between a Few People_2 Chapter 1201: Chapter 688: There is a Rift Between a Few People_2 Now, only Old Liu remained seated in his original spot.

His expression was very grim.

In fact, he had wanted to stop them just now, but he didn’t expect them to leave so quickly; he simply couldn’t stop them.

It was too awkward for him to sit here alone.

He really didn’t want to sit here by himself.

He felt like calling out to them right now.

But there were many people around.

Their gazes were all fixed on him.

It was truly too awkward.

Qin Yuan and the others had already returned to their seats and sat down.

Wu Zeyuan curved his lips slightly and slowly said,
“Actually, I saw Old Liu’s movement earlier, he wanted to stop us, but he probably couldn’t bring himself to lose face, so he gave up on the idea.”

“He’s been staring at us the whole time, he might be fuming to the extreme by now, but what I’m really curious about is,”
“Do you guys think Old Liu will make things difficult for us at work? If he does make things difficult for us on the job, wouldn’t that seem like he’s somewhat small-minded?”

This was the point he was very curious about.

He didn’t know how they would respond.

Anyway, he was truly very curious.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan felt quite surprised.

It really was the first time he’d heard Wu Zeyuan speak like this.

But since he had heard it, he would certainly respond.

The next second, Qin Yuan spoke earnestly,
“Actually, I don’t think Old Liu will make things difficult for us at work. After all, he’s not a person who abuses his power for personal gain; he wouldn’t bring personal matters into the workplace.”

“Although I haven’t known Old Liu for a particularly long time, this is my brief understanding of him, and I hope I’m not wrong about him.”

“That’s what I have to say. Now, it’s your turn to share your opinions on him; I want to see what you guys think of him.”

He really spoke without any reservation.

There was nothing to hold back.

What it was, it was.

Lying was pointless.

After all, they were friends.

If they were friends, then they shouldn’t lie.

Lying was really the wrong thing to do.

Just then, Jiang Qi curled his lip and said seriously,
“Actually, my view is the same as Qin Yuan’s. I think Old Liu isn’t the type of person who would abuse his power for personal gain; he won’t make things difficult for us.”

“After all, Old Liu really doesn’t seem like that kind of person; he’s just a bit stubborn. His intentions aren’t bad; it’s just that his good intentions led to bad outcomes.”

“Once he realizes that what he did was wrong, he won’t stubbornly persist. That’s my view of Old Liu.”

Hearing these words, Liu Yue was completely shocked.

She had never imagined they would view her father this way.

It seemed that they weren’t too disappointed in her father.

In fact, her father was really good, just a little strict.

Truth be told, her father really didn’t have any problems at other times.

So she didn’t want to reach a point where she would never want to see her father again.

She still wanted to meet him.

How could she possibly never meet her own father again? No matter what, they are father and daughter.

She simply couldn’t bring herself not to meet him in the future.

Now, she was just waiting for a call from her mother, also hoping that her mother could truly change her father.

As long as her father was changed, there wouldn’t be any estrangement between them.

Estrangement was really a very painful thing.

It’s precisely because of the estrangement that they must find ways to resolve it.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be discussing it here.

Time ticked away second by second, and Liu Yue didn’t speak.

All their gazes fell on Liu Yue.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flicked across Liu Yue’s face, and she startled, “What are you doing? Why are you suddenly all looking at me?”

It really gave her a fright.

She was seriously pondering over things, but now, when she came back to her senses, she saw them all staring intently at her.

How could that not be scary?

Just at that moment, Qin Yuan slowly said.

“I was just watching you lost in thought, so I wanted to see what you were thinking about and to see what your opinion of your own father is.”

“Do you agree with what we’ve just discussed? As his daughter, I think you have the most say, after all, you’ve been with him the longest.”

“We only connect through work, but you’ve spent a really long time with him, so we’d like to hear what you have to say.”

That was their line of thought.

It wasn’t to intimidate Liu Yue.

There was no need to intimidate Liu Yue at all.

They couldn’t do such a despicable thing.

They really couldn’t.

It wasn’t about lying here either.

At that moment, a smile appeared on Liu Yue’s face, and she slowly said.

“So you wanted to see my reaction? I thought you were trying to scare me, as long as you’re not scaring me, it’s fine.”

“Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll tell you my true thoughts. There’s no use in hiding them from you.”

“Honestly, I think he’s a very good father and a good person too; it’s just that his management style is a bit strict.”

She truly believed that.

She wasn’t just speaking well of her father here.

Since it was a conversation with friends, it certainly had to be honest and open.

When Qin Yuan heard these words, he felt somewhat surprised.

Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi exchanged glances. They didn’t speak.

But they still felt quite shocked.

After a moment, another smile spread across Liu Yue’s face.

“If his management style weren’t so strict, I would really feel very happy. I wouldn’t think any less of him for his strict ways.”

“I wouldn’t feel that way. I would just persuade him here. I don’t want more barriers between us. I want to remove the barriers.”

“As long as the barriers between us are gone, we can get along well. I did say just before that I would take forceful measures.”

She had indeed said that just before.

It was merely a measure of last resort.

If things didn’t work out, she could only move away.

She couldn’t possibly keep allowing herself to be wronged.

She couldn’t endure being wronged any longer.

Hadn’t she endured enough for so many years?

She had truly had enough.

It was because she was fed up that she wouldn’t choose to continue enduring.

Time ticked by, second by second, and there was no reaction on their faces.

As if they hadn’t heard a thing.

Seeing this, Liu Yue’s face was full of shock.

What was wrong with them?

Why weren’t they saying anything?

Did they think what she was saying was incorrect?

Or did they find it insincere?

Did they doubt if she was telling the truth?

With this thought, Liu Yue immediately waved her hand and said,
“Don’t think that I’m not being sincere. I consider you friends, and that’s why I am being honest. I really feel this way.”

“I’m not speaking on his behalf, I’m just expressing my own feelings. But if he’s unwilling to change his ways,”
“then I’ll have no choice but to move out. I can’t let myself be wronged like before. I still have to consider my own wellbeing, although I think that of him.”

A flash of surprise crossed Qin Yuan’s face.

Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi exchanged glances again.

The expressions on their faces were still quite shocked.

The shock from just before was still prevalent.

A moment later, Liu Yue continued.

“But I have to think of myself too. I won’t be so foolish anymore, so rest assured. Don’t look at me with those eyes. I think you have to believe me.”

“The most basic thing between friends is to trust you. If you trust me, I’ll be very happy.”

Not only would she be happy, but she would also feel very motivated.

Now, it was just a matter of whether they really trusted her or not.

But as time passed, their faces still showed no expression.

Seeing this, Liu Yue began to panic.
