Capítulo 1862: Chapter 2063: Leave This Matter to !!!
In theory, since it was impossible for Hao Jian to successfully negotiate this matter, the result should have co out in less than ten minutes, and then Hao Jian would have stord out angrily, waving his hand as he left. Moreover, even if Hao Jian wanted to prolong the negotiation to change her father’s mind, she knew her father’s temperant well. If he talked with soone like Hao Jian, the discussion would probably fall apart after a few sentences.
And her father was always soone whose emotions showed on his face, never one to be deceitful or pretentious, so he would definitely co out imdiately. But why had Hao Jian already been in there for over half an hour, and neither of them had co out yet? This situation was undoubtedly abnormal and completely beyond her imagination.
She couldn’t go in to see what was happening between the two of them. After all, her father had taught her from a young age that it was extrely impolite to interrupt when others were speaking. Additionally, it was important not to interrupt others or eavesdrop on their conversations when they were still discussing matters.
Waiting patiently on the side was essential. Showing impatience after a short wait was a sign of impatience. And for a studious person, it’s crucial not to lack patience. This was sothing her father often taught her, so at this mont, she dared not violate it. The respect for her father’s status and dignity was sothing she couldn’t infringe upon.
So, even though she felt as anxious as an ant in a hot pan outside, she maintained her composure and didn’t rush in. Otherwise, she’d face her father’s reproach.
Originally, her father had trained her temperant to be very calm, and generally, nothing would rile her emotions, which was why she appeared so aloof. But, for so reason, as long as sothing involved Hao Jian, she would beco particularly anxious.
And coincidentally, this was the case this ti as well. After waiting outside for about forty minutes, her patience was nearly worn out. Her face had beco a mask of anxiety, making it seem like she was a hundred tis more nervous than Hao Jian, who was the one supposed to negotiate. Yet when Hao Jian went in, he was all relaxed.
Forty minutes passed like this, fifty minutes passed, and then an hour passed. Liang Xiaohan was almost ready to burst in. However, reason finally prevailed, and she cald down in the end. In the end, a minute past the hour went by.
Finally, just as her ultimate line of defense was about to be breached, she saw Hao Jian and her father erge. The scene she had imagined was one where negotiations had collapsed, Hao Jian stord out angrily with her father following leisurely.
But when her father and Hao Jian ca out, the scene was slightly different from what she had imagined. Both her father and Hao Jian ca out simultaneously, walking in sync, both with smiles on their faces and looking at each other with satisfaction. It didn’t seem like they had reached an impasse.
Logically, shouldn’t Hao Jian have left without saying a word, with her father then approaching her with a summary statent, asking her to stay away from this volatile young man? But given the current atmosphere and expressions, there was no indication that such words would be spoken.
What’s going on? Could it be that Hao Jian really persuaded her father? As soon as this thought erged, Liang Xiaohan shook her head vigorously. Impossible, this simply couldn’t happen. In her mory, no one had ever been able to persuade her father, which was why she felt so confident before.
Back then, when her father was determined to make a decision, the whole family disagreed, with the elder uncle firmly opposing, yet no one could change her father’s mind; he went ahead regardless. In her view, her uncle was the most likely to influence her father’s decisions, yet even his words had no effect, which made it clear how steadfastly her father held onto his own will and principles.
So, in her eyes, relying solely on Hao Jian’s sweet talk might be enough to deceive young girls, but changing her father’s mind was entirely impossible. Even if Hao Jian and her father had stayed inside for so long, it could only an her father was indoctrinating Hao Jian, not that Hao Jian persuaded her father—not even remotely.
As she was thinking this, she was convinced of her understanding. However, the scene before her left her dumbfounded and amazed.
Her father and Hao Jian erged with smiles on their faces, as if they had successfully negotiated sothing, and then they walked out of the restaurant arm in arm. Just as they were about to reach her, they stopped suddenly, looking at each other with a face of mutual appreciation and amusent.
This puzzled her. What on earth was going on? Could it be that Hao Jian had actually been reford and now had to thank her father?
Unexpectedly, her father took the initiative to extend his hand, wanting to shake hands with Hao Jian, and Hao Jian reached out to shake hands with her father, their hands clasping together.
She heard her father say with a smile, “Young man, I have high hopes for you. I’ll handle the next steps, so you don’t need to worry too much about other things.”
Hao Jian nodded and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”
He didn’t say anything unnecessary; saying more flattery would make him seem insincere or vulgar.
Uncle smiled and said, “I’ve always had high hopes for you; it’s just that Uncle Zhen can be a bit headstrong, seeing only one side of things and having his thoughts disturbed.”
Saying this, Uncle suddenly approached Hao Jian, stood in front of him, patted his shoulder, and said aningfully, “According to age hierarchy, I should call you nephew, so I’ll just call you nephew. Nephew, you shouldn’t bla Uncle Youzhen too much. After all, he only has one daughter, and he raised her by himself since she didn’t have a mother. Your uncle’s actions were purely from a protective standpoint for Yuwei, so don’t bla Uncle Youzhen for anything. I’m saying this sincerely.”
He naturally understood the aning in Uncle’s words, and he understood completely. If he were in Liang Youzhen’s shoes, he would likely have done the sa thing. He understood the concept of empathizing with others. So the essence of Uncle’s words was clear to him.
He nodded and said, “Of course, even if Uncle hadn’t said it, I would understand.”
Uncle looked at Hao Jian with an expression of “promising young man.” Then he looked at his watch and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll handle the matter; you just wait for the results at ho. I’ve been talking for so long, but I need to head off to take care of sothing. I’m leaving now.”
Hao Jian nodded, gave a gesture of farewell, and said, “Take care, Uncle.”
Subsequently, Uncle turned to look at Liang Xiaohan, with a more serious expression, and said, “Get back to school and attend classes early. Also, rember to co ho next weekend; there’s sothing I need to tell you.”
After saying that, without waiting for Liang Xiaohan to nod or ask what it was about, he hurriedly turned and left, looking quite anxious.
Liang Xiaohan stood there, bewildered, watching her father’s retreating back. Her father rarely insisted on when she had to co ho, yet this ti he suddenly asked her to co back, saying there was sothing he needed to discuss with her. What could it be that he couldn’t say over the phone?
As she was pondering this, her father had already walked far away. She then turned to look at Hao Jian, her expression now one of surprise.
She wasn’t foolish. From the conversation between Hao Jian and her father earlier, she could tell that Hao Jian hadn’t failed the negotiation but had succeeded spectacularly. Her father had agreed to help Hao Jian with his matter. Her face was now filled with nothing but astonishnt.
All these years, she had never seen anyone able to sway her father’s heart until now. Initially, she thought at least one person would storm off, but unexpectedly, the two were chatting amicably and even shook hands as if they had beco fast friends, which truly surprised her.
First of all, her father’s proactive gesture to shake hands with Hao Jian was unexpected. Her father was actually very strict; if it was anyone ordinary, he wouldn’t even associate with them. Since he took the initiative to extend his hand, it indicated great interest and appreciation for Hao Jian; otherwise, he wouldn’t do it. If he did it, either he admired Hao Jian or sothing about Hao Jian caught his deep interest.
But regardless of which aspect, Hao Jian had succeeded—and very successfully. She didn’t know what Hao Jian and her father discussed that changed her father’s mind, leading her father to willingly and sincerely beco his diator and persuade Uncle.
This… This left her dumbfounded and greatly surprised. She had always thought this issue was non-negotiable, yet she hadn’t expected Hao Jian to achieve what he claid he would.
She looked at Hao Jian with shock, an expression of disbelief. Even in similar situations, her mother, whom her father cherished the most, had no say whatsoever. How on earth did Hao Jian manage to accomplish it? She was now particularly curious to find out.
