Chapter 1218: Chapter 697: Mr. Liu’s Private Affairs Chapter 1218: Chapter 697: Mr. Liu’s Private Affairs And yet, he couldn’t obtain his daughter’s forgiveness.
Thinking of this, Old Liu continued to speak.
“I could have easily brushed you off with a single careless word, couldn’t I? But I didn’t do that because I see you as my treasured daughter.”
“That’s why I didn’t do it. Just trust your father, okay? Can you let stay here and have dinner with you?”
“Even though you are all young people and I might not fit in, I will do everything in my power to blend in.”
He had done all this for his daughter; they certainly wouldn’t refuse him.
But the key wasn’t with them.
It was with his daughter.
His daughter had the say.
But they did not.
At this thought, Old Liu’s face darkened slightly.
Yet he felt they did have the right to speak.
After all, they had been persuading his daughter.
So surely his daughter would be grateful to them.
Thinking this, Old Liu’s gaze fell on Wu Zeyuan and he said with sincere gravity,
“Wu Zeyuan, I think your words carry so weight, so I’m entrusting you with sothing now, to persuade Liu Yue.”
“Tell Liu Yue not to distrust . After all, we must trust each other, right? How can we get by without mutual trust? If we don’t even have that basic trust…”
“I will just be even more heartbroken. Besides, you were right to say that trust must be built up gradually. So, now we need to slowly build that trust.”
Trust had to be built up slowly.
Now was the ti to start trying to trust.
How else could trust be established?
At that mont, Wu Zeyuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
He had thought Old Liu had sothing to tell him.
But it turned out to be a request.
It seed Old Liu knew whom to approach.
He didn’t turn to Qin Yuan or Jiang Qi.
He ca straight to him.
But why did Old Liu think he would definitely go and convince Liu Yue?
In fact, he didn’t want to persuade Liu Yue at all.
Just then, Old Liu took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“How can we not establish trust? If the thought of building trust is gone, then things really aren’t going to work out. I truly hope it won’t co to that.”
“I really hope we can build that trust. After all, you just persuaded Liu Yue here. Since you’ve already done that, your words must have been key.”
“In fact, speaking to you is like speaking to all three of you. I don’t know if you’ll take my words to heart, but any one of you can talk to Liu Yue.”
He really didn’t want to go through speaking to them one by one.
So he summarized it.
Talking to each one would be incredibly tiring.
He hadn’t tried it, but he knew it would be so.
Old Liu noticed Wu Zeyuan still showed no reaction and crooked his lips, continuing to say.
“I can accept that, so I really hope you can help . I am very helpless right now. If I were not desperate…”
“I wouldn’t be saying all this. But now, I will leave it to you to handle. I believe you will be successful.”
He believed they would be successful.
But he didn’t know if they would be willing to help.
Qin Yuan certainly wouldn’t agree.
After all, Qin Yuan was quite talkative.
So was Jiang Qi.
It seed Wu Zeyuan was no exception.
Looking at it this way, all three of them were the sa.
But he had no choice but to use a desperate redy.
Who knows? It might just work.
It’s worth a try anyway.
Trying wouldn’t be a loss.
There were no sunk costs.
Wu Zeyuan pursed his lips, then slowly said,
“Old Liu, I really think you’ve misunderstood. How could Liu Yue not trust you? She doesn’t distrust you; she just feels the al was too extravagant.”
“If you don’t eat, it will really go to waste. That’s why she ntioned it here. Besides, Qin Yuan just said the sa thing.”
“Not only him but Jiang Qi and I feel the sa way. You’re really overthinking it. Liu Yue doesn’t have any other intentions.”
In fact, he knew Liu Yue had other intentions.
How could she not have other intentions?
If there were no other intentions, she would have invited Old Liu to sit down.
But Liu Yue had not invited Old Liu to sit down.
Besides, Old Liu was always sensitive to detail.
At that mont, Old Liu’s expression darkened, and he imdiately said,
“Wu Zeyuan, don’t lie to here. Do you think I will believe it if you try to deceive here? I won’t believe it at all.”
“Don’t I know Liu Yue’s character? She’s just finding a way to get rid of . I’ve seen through her and just refused to leave.”
“I am not a fool, you know. I am quite smart. I can make my own judgnts. How could I be easily dismissed?”
He clearly wasn’t soone that could be brushed off easily.
He called it out as soon as he noticed sothing was off.
What he really wanted was an explanation from Liu Yue.
But Liu Yue hadn’t said anything.
So he could only speak to Wu Zeyuan.
He felt Wu Zeyuan could make a difference.
But he hadn’t expected Wu Zeyuan not to speak to Liu Yue.
Didn’t this clearly show he was siding with Liu Yue?
He had anticipated this at the outset.
Yet he had still taken the gamble.
And now, he had lost from the very start.
And lost miserably.
With this in mind, Old Liu sighed deeply.
