Chapter 1207: Chapter 691: Quite a Few Minds_2 Chapter 1207: Chapter 691: Quite a Few Minds_2 “Besides, they respected you too, but do you really deserve their respect? You never satisfied their expectations; you’ve always done everything for yourself.”

“You’ve truly disappointed me, although I’ve long known this is your character. But now, you’ve really let me down, which I hadn’t expected.”

How could one not feel disappointed?

Any normal person would be.

There’s nothing left to say now.

I don’t want to continue this anymore.

It feels excruciating to talk here.

After a while, Old Liu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Liu Yue, you shouldn’t think of me like that. No matter what, I am still your father. I have raised you with hardship, and yet you still think this way of me.”

“You even side with outsiders, how am I supposed to feel? No father could pretend nothing happened.”

“I can’t pretend nothing happened either. Since it all happened, you shouldn’t treat your father so poorly.”

Liu Yue was completely confused.

She didn’t want to listen anymore.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

It seemed that her mother was calling.

Liu Yue’s eyes instantly lit up.

Seeing this, Old Liu also became very anxious.

Could it be true?

Did his wife really call?

Could she have found time to come back to the country?

He had always been longing for his wife’s return, but for some reason, he didn’t feel that way at the moment.

Probably because he feared facing the situation.

And feared that his wife would side with their daughter.

After all, his wife had always loved her daughter deeply.

If she knew what their daughter had gone through, she would probably be very upset.

She might even divorce him.

No, he couldn’t accept that.

If he did, he would really feel very depressed.

Thinking this, Old Liu immediately asked.

“Who is calling? Is it your mother? It’s been a long time since I last chatted with her.”

“Give me the phone first. After I finish talking, you can explain the whole story to her. I won’t talk for too long.”

“I just want to say a few words. I also want to hear her voice as soon as possible, as I miss her so much.”

Old Liu didn’t try to hide anything.

This was also considered an open expression of love, wasn’t it?

If it wasn’t an open expression of love, how could he have such an expression?

Besides, he was indeed very afraid of his wife hearing what Liu Yue had said.

So he hoped Liu Yue would listen to him and hand over the phone.

Liu Yue glanced at the phone, her face expressionless.

Her demeanor was very cold.

Seeing this, a trace of confusion crossed Old Liu’s face.

What’s going on?

Why such an expression?

Could it be that no one had called?

But he didn’t quite believe that.

If not her, then who?

Qin Yuan also showed a trace of curiosity on his face.

He instinctively looked towards Liu Yue.

Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi also looked over.

The two of them loved to follow drama and wouldn’t miss any chance.

Moreover, this matter was very important to them, so they couldn’t let it go.

But seeing the phone screen, they too were visibly startled.

Could it be?

As seconds ticked by, Liu Yue remained silent.

Standing to the side, Old Liu grew impatient and finally spoke.

“What’s the matter with you? Why aren’t you speaking to me? If you don’t talk to me, how can I know what happened?”

“I really want to know whether your mother called you or not. If it wasn’t your mother, why would you care so much?”

“If your mother really called, then let me listen now because I really want to chat with her, otherwise I won’t be happy.”

He really wanted to hear his wife’s voice.

And wanted her not to bother coming back.

After all, it wasn’t anything important.

It would be bad if it held up his wife’s important matters.

So he needed to get hold of the cellphone quickly.

But Liu Yue showed no reaction on her face.

The next second, Mr. Liu grabbed the cellphone.

If it had been Liu Yue’s mother calling, Qin Yuan and the others would have been prepared.

They wouldn’t have allowed Mr. Liu any chance to walk off with the phone.

When Mr. Liu saw the cellphone screen, his expression darkened instantly but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Still, he couldn’t help but say,
“Liu Yue, what’s going on? I’ve been talking to you, but you haven’t responded. If you had answered me earlier, wouldn’t all this have been avoided?”

“I thought it was really your mother who called, I really wanted to speak to her, that’s why I took your phone. If you had answered me,”
“I wouldn’t have taken your phone. It seems your mother really isn’t free. If she was, why wouldn’t she return your call after seeing your message?”

He kept talking to himself.

He didn’t even look at Liu Yue’s expression.

Nor did he pay attention to Qin Yuan and others.

After a moment, Mr. Liu curled the corners of his lips and continued,
“Your mother must be really busy, so you should stop expecting her to come back. Asking her to return only stresses her out.”

“How could there be no stress? Everyone experiences stress. Just stop discussing this with me already.”

“Alright, I don’t want to talk about this anymore, continuing this conversation is pointless.”

Just then, Mr. Liu withdrew his gaze.

He didn’t want to talk about this.

Moreover, he was feeling a bit guilty.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been talking like this.

Now this was a way to change the subject.

As long as the subject was changed, there would be no problem.

He wasn’t sure how Liu Yue would react.

Could she not trust him?

If she really didn’t trust him, then there was nothing he could do.

But Liu Yue’s lips curled into a cold smile, and then she spoke emphatically.

“I really don’t know what you are trying to justify here. You think I don’t understand your current mood? You are just afraid of mother finding out.”

“If you weren’t scared of mother finding out, why would you even say these things? I know exactly what’s on your mind.”

“From now on, just stop lying here. I won’t believe what you say; I’ll only believe what I say!”

She had pretended earlier to not react.

Purposely, to deceive him.

To see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, he was really worried.

It appeared father was truly afraid of mother finding out.

And rightfully so, as mother had always been unaware of her plight.

Once she found out, she would definitely be heartbroken.

After all, a mother always wants the best for her child.

How could she not hope for her child’s welfare?

Just then, Mr. Liu frowned and immediately shook his head.

“Liu Yue, I think you misunderstood. I am not afraid of your mother finding out. If I were, I wouldn’t have agreed to do the experiment.”

“After all, if I were scared, wouldn’t I have run away instead? Agreeing to it proves that I’m genuinely not afraid of your mother finding out.”

“You shouldn’t try to guess what I’m thinking, each word I say is genuinely meant to gain your trust, please don’t misunderstand me anymore!”

He hadn’t expected Liu Yue to think this way of him.

Now suspecting that Liu Yue was doing it intentionally.

Liu Yue wasn’t being intentional, how could she say such things then?

It truly baffled him.

This girl was quite scheming.

It was the first time he realized she was so cunning.

More importantly, her tricks were all used against him.

It really left him somewhat helpless.
