Chapter 1221: Chapter 698: Afraid that Qin Yuan’s Cunning Plan Might Backfire_2 Chapter 1221: Chapter 698: Afraid that Qin Yuan’s Cunning Plan Might Backfire_2 Qin Yuan sighed inwardly.

It seemed that Elder Liu really loved his wife.

Truly a man of great passion.

Since he was such a romantic, should he perhaps change the subject again?

After all, he had just heard Elder Liu speak those words.

With that thought, Qin Yuan immediately spoke up.

“Elder Liu, from what you’ve said, it’s clear that you truly love your wife, but you mentioned that you would respect all of her choices.”

“Would you respect all of Liu Yue’s choices as well? Since you love Liu Yue, shouldn’t you just want her to be happy and joyful?”

“I really didn’t want to say this, but I feel that if you treat your wife this way, why can’t you treat your daughter the same?”

Why couldn’t Elder Liu try to put himself in someone else’s shoes?

Wanting his wife to be happy didn’t mean he didn’t want his daughter to be happy, did it?

It really didn’t make much sense.

So, he wanted Elder Liu to give him an answer.

Did Elder Liu really think that way?

In any case, he found it quite puzzling.

Just then, Elder Liu took a deep breath and slowly said,
“I am tolerant and respectful of my wife’s choices because she is an adult, capable of independent thought.”

“She also knows how to prevent herself from getting hurt, but Liu Yue is still young, she still needs her parents’ guidance. How could she not need her parents’ guidance?”

“If she didn’t need her parents’ guidance, would I be here saying all this? It’s precisely because Liu Yue still needs her parents’ guidance that I choose not to let go.”

He still didn’t intend to let go.

Indeed, everything he had said before was heartfelt.

But after thinking it over upon coming here, he still felt it wasn’t right.

He still couldn’t let go of Liu Yue’s hand.

He had to guide her properly, no matter what.

Liu Yue was just being rebellious now; it would pass with time.

The next moment, Elder Liu spoke again with great earnest.

“In fact, I do want Liu Yue to become more sensible because being naive can lead to harm, and of course, I don’t want such things to happen.”

“I’ve always taken good care of Liu Yue, always held her close to my heart, so I truly don’t want her to get hurt.”

“If Liu Yue were to get hurt, it would break my heart as a father. I know Liu Yue thinks I’m doing wrong.”

Of course, he understood what Liu Yue was thinking.

But he really didn’t want her to continue being so willful.

Liu Yue was still too young.

Otherwise, why would she be arguing with him here?

It was because of her lack of experience that she was contradicting him.

Once she had more experience, she would realize that what he said and did were correct.

But he didn’t want his daughter to go through that experience.

He feared she would get hurt.

Thinking this, Elder Liu’s gaze became even more resolute as he continued,
“But I still don’t want to be too lax in disciplining Liu Yue; I’ll stick to the same strictness as before, which I believe is beneficial for her.”

“How could there be no benefit? It would only be good for her, not harmful. It’s just that Liu Yue is currently in a rebellious phase.”

“But once Liu Yue gets through this phase, she’ll realize that everything I said is right, so I’m still choosing to wait. I can afford to wait.”

So everything Elder Liu had said before was just an act.

He never really intended to accept the trial.

He would never think that way in his heart.

Those words earlier were deliberately spoken.

No wonder Liu Yue wanted to send Elder Liu away.

Liu Yue must know Elder Liu very well to understand his thoughts.

The next second, Qin Yuan laid it all out.

“By the way, I really thought you had taken Liu Yue’s words to heart, that you were ready to give up, but it turns out you hadn’t given up at all.”

“Now you understand why Liu Yue wanted you to leave, don’t you? It’s because Liu Yue doesn’t believe what you say.”

“What you say seems false, and if your words are false, how could Liu Yue possibly let you stay there? Frankly, we also have our doubts about you.”

They really hadn’t trusted Mr. Liu at all.

After all, Mr. Liu had started off with a tough stance, and had flipped immediately.

So this was very abnormal.

This was also the reason Liu Yue shifted Mr. Liu’s attention.

The next second, Mr. Liu’s eyes changed slightly.

But Qin Yuan spoke up first.

“But I didn’t expect you to confess now. Do you think that by confessing, you can dismiss Liu Yue’s doubts about you? That’s simply not possible.”

“Besides, you’re not confessing to Liu Yue right now, you’re confessing to me. I can’t possibly go persuade Liu Yue to dispel her suspicions about you. That’s just impossible!”

“Mr. Liu, since you think your wife should be happy, why don’t you think your daughter should be happy too? I know you think she’s a bit young.”

Qin Yuan felt a bit speechless at this point.

Isn’t that just speechless?

That Mr. Liu could think so.

How old is Liu Yue, anyway? Is she still young?

The next moment, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but retort.

“But that’s just what you think. Liu Yue is really not young anymore. Besides, she has her own opinions and awareness.”

“Liu Yue won’t do anything wrong, you’re just worrying too much. So, stop trying to impose your own thoughts onto her.”

“Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t impose your own thoughts onto your wife? Why then are you imposing them onto your daughter? This is double standards!”

Isn’t this just worrying too much?

If it wasn’t for excessive worry, why would you say that?

He really felt helpless now.

Mr. Liu was really hard to persuade.

Such a stubborn man.

Why couldn’t he just listen to them?

Is being so stubborn really a good thing?

Moreover, Mr. Liu really did play favorites.

He showed completely different faces to his wife and daughter.

Not the same at all.

At that moment, Mr. Liu’s lips curved slightly.

“Qin Yuan, I know you’re very unsatisfied with what I just said, but I can tell you very clearly, I wasn’t deceiving you just now.”

“I spoke from the heart, but after thinking it over, I still feel that I can’t let Liu Yue escape my control just like that.”

“To be frank, I still have to discipline Liu Yue. After all, I am her father, and as her father, it’s impossible for me to stand by and do nothing.”

He knew that Qin Yuan would be infuriated after hearing these words.

But this was just a spur-of-the-moment thought.

He wasn’t deceiving them.

There was no question of deceit.

Besides, he wasn’t that kind of person.

Thinking this, Mr. Liu once again spoke earnestly.

“I can’t just stand by and do nothing. In this world, what father can truly ignore his child? Even if there are such fathers, I’m certainly not one of them, and I’m not about to make an exception.”

“Anyway, I must properly discipline Liu Yue, and not let her go down the wrong path. I know you want Liu Yue to be happy and mean well.”

“But Liu Yue is really rebellious right now. No matter how you treat her, she will think it’s right. This isn’t the right way to guide her!”

Thinking about it now, he really felt there was a big mistake.

They weren’t guiding Liu Yue correctly here.

Instead, they were leading her further astray.

With that thought, Mr. Liu shook his head immediately.

“No, I can’t let you and Liu Yue continue to associate. If you keep interacting with Liu Yue, you will only make things worse.”

“If you had been guiding Liu Yue correctly from the start, making her not reject my discipline, it would have been fine, but you didn’t say that.”

“You were encouraging Liu Yue to oppose what I said. How could I accept that? Not to mention my rejection, no one could accept it.”

He couldn’t accept it anyway.

And he didn’t want Qin Yuan and those few young men to continue associating with Liu Yue.

Otherwise, it would truly backfire.
