Chapter 1136: Chapter 656: Foreshadowing Success

A few moments later, Qin Yuan’s gaze fell upon the little girl and he said in an extremely gentle voice, "Little girl, your father is no longer here, it’s just us few people around. Moreover, we will be interacting with you as friends from now on, so you don’t need to feel any discomfort. All you need to do is think of us as friends."

"We may have just met today, but you could try stepping into this role. Who knows, you might even find it brings a different feeling. We’re here to provide you with guidance, not to let you keep crying here or continue to feel so downtrodden. We understand that you are feeling very upset right now."

"So we cannot bear to see you suffering like this and want to comfort you until you feel better, so we can leave. Actually, our reason for coming here was just to have a meal, but we ended up staying to deal with Old Liu’s family matter."

He was still being a little sly.

He wanted the little girl to know that they hadn’t eaten yet.

Maybe this could even elicit a little sympathy from her.

Before the little girl could speak, Jiang Qi immediately said, "That’s right, we’re really in a sad state. We’ve been in the lab all day and only now did we find the time to eat, but before we could enjoy our meal, this emergency came up."

"It’s not that we’re complaining about the emergency preventing us from eating; we just feel it’s a pity, especially since we were about to enjoy some delicious food."

"But being here to help you clear your mind of sorrow, we’re quite happy too. So from now on, we can consider each other friends and have a good chat."

Jiang Qi said all this in a very serious manner.

He didn’t even blink once.

Upon hearing their words, Wu Zeyuan showed a hint of a smile and joined in, "That’s right, we really do hope to become your friends, to be here for you and to help you through your troubles."

They genuinely wanted to help.

Just that they didn’t know if the little girl would be willing.

If they were really going to be the little girl’s friends for the time being, they couldn’t keep calling her ’little girl’.

They would need to call her by her name.

He had actually heard Old Liu call her by her name earlier.

Her name was rather pleasant, Liu Yue.

Smiling, she resembled a graceful crescent moon.

Though she was crying now, she had been smiling at the beginning.

Anyhow, he had seen and remembered it.

But Liu Yue didn’t stop her sobbing.

Old Liu, upon seeing this scene, immediately stood up and came over to them again, "You all might as well stop trying; let me handle it."

His daughter had been crying for so long, and it pained his heart.

He didn’t want her to cry anymore.

He had thought they could make some difference.

But it turned out they hadn’t made any difference at all.

And it even made his daughter cry harder.

This couldn’t go on like this.

He had to step in and stop it.

Seeing Old Liu’s concern, Qin Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Old Liu, I know how painful it is for you to see your daughter cry like this, but since you already agreed to let us try, please give us enough time. It’s been less than a minute, and you already think we can’t do it."

"You need to give us enough time. Without enough time, how can you know whether we will succeed or not?"

"If after a few minutes we still can’t make Liu Yue stop crying, then we will admit defeat, but for now we will keep trying, so we hope you’ll give us enough room."

They hadn’t even started trying; how could they know it wouldn’t work?

So they still needed to fight for more time.

They couldn’t just give up.

At that moment, Jiang Qi slowly spoke, "Old Liu, we know you’re worried about your daughter crying too long and getting unwell, but we share your concern, which is why we want to convince your daughter to stop crying."

"But we’ve barely begun to try, so we still need you to give us some more time. If it continues like this and we still can’t make your daughter stop crying,"

"then it’s our fault, and we won’t ask you for more time. For now, we’re imploring you to give us a chance. Just grant us that time, and we will make sure to do our best."

They knew Old Liu was very worried.

They could understand his feelings.

So they hoped Old Liu would truly give them this opportunity.

No, Old Liu had already given them a chance, just not enough time.

Now all they needed was enough time from Old Liu.

At that time, Wu Zeyuan also shifted his gaze to Old Liu, speaking earnestly, "Old Liu, we all know you’re anxious, but haste won’t get us anywhere; we need to go slow. If we could make your daughter stop crying instantly,"

"we wouldn’t need to ask you to step aside. We want to talk to your daughter as friends and hope that she will be able to let go of her worries, to forget about everything that happened today. We really hope to succeed."

"So now, we’re hoping you’ll give us a little more time. Just a bit more time, and we can make this happen. If we can’t, we will concede willingly, but we haven’t started our efforts yet, so for now, we won’t admit defeat."
