Chapter 1231: Chapter 703: Qin Yuan Clears Up the Misunderstanding_2
"I think we should clear this up before jumping to conclusions, donāt misunderstand Qin Yuan. I really believe Qin Yuan wouldnāt like Liu Yue. You must have misunderstood him!"
Thatās probably the case.
He always felt that there was nothing between Qin Yuan and Liu Yue.
So he voiced his thoughts.
At first, when he heard it, he was quite surprised.
But then he thought about it seriously.
And still felt it was unlikely.
Upon hearing these words, Elder Liuās brows furrowed slightly and he said immediately,
"Do you really think that itās impossible between Qin Yuan and Liu Yue? If thatās the case, then I really have nothing to say."
"But I didnāt just now say there was anything between the two of them. You really heard wrong, donāt misunderstand!"
Knowing that Jiang Qi didnāt believe it, he felt relieved.
That way, Liu Yueās reputation wouldnāt be tarnished.
It was really quite good.
Elder Liu secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
But the next second, Jiang Qiās lips curled into a smile and he said immediately,
"Elder Liu, Iāve already heard. Thereās no need to deny it anymore, just admit it. Why keep denying it?"
"The issue has already escalated to this point; isnāt it better for us to be upfront with each other? Why continue to deny here?"
"In fact, we can clarify things now. I donāt know why you suddenly brought up this topic, but I still hope you can tell me."
He still wanted to know what had happened.
He couldnāt stay in the dark forever.
He needed to find out what was going on to continue.
So it depended on whether Elder Liu was willing to speak.
But as time ticked by second by second, Elder Liu showed no expression on his face.
He didnāt even glance at him.
He was completely indifferent towards him the whole time.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi felt somewhat helpless, but still slowly said,
"Otherwise, Iām really confused. I donāt know what happened, so I still want to hear it from you. I still want to have the right to know."
"Elder Liu, if you really donāt know how to tell me, then let Qin Yuan tell me. Heās as close to me as a brother, he will tell me."
"So what exactly happened? Qin Yuan, hurry up and tell me. I feel like you wouldnāt like Liu Yue, but I also want to know why he would say such a thing to you."
The last sentence was directed at Qin Yuan.
Because he knew Elder Liu didnāt want to talk.
So now he directed all his questions toward Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but before he could speak, Elder Liu interrupted,
"This is really not something to be concerned about. Youāve really misunderstood. Why wonāt you believe me here? Do you have to make him say it?"
"Is his word necessarily the truth? Why canāt you trust me for once? Donāt we have any trust between us? There should be at least some trust."
"How can we proceed without any trust? Besides, you still havenāt answered why you suddenly came here. Do you have something to say to us?"
Elder Liu tried to change the subject again.
He felt Jiang Qi wouldnāt come over for no reason.
There must be something important if he came unexpectedly.
Now with the situation taking him by surprise, he didnāt know what it could be.
So now he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
But as time passed, Jiang Qi didnāt say a word.
Qin Yuan also felt a bit helpless.
The next moment, Elder Liu took a deep breath and slowly said,
"Why donāt we go join Liu Yue for some food now? Itās not right to leave her there all by herself. Letās go have a chat with her."
"What are you still standing around here for? Are you really planning to stay here without moving? You know Liu Yue and Wu Zeyuan are over there!"
"Do we really intend to let the two of them chat alone? We should join in. We canāt just leave them there by themselves!"
Now was the time to hurry over.
If not, he would go by himself.
He really didnāt want to be grilled like this any longer.
After all, being cornered into answering like this was just too annoying.
Who likes to be interrogated?
No one does.
Anyway, he didnāt like it either.
Just as Mr. Liu was about to stand up, Qin Yuan immediately said,
"Jiang Qi, actually this is what happened, I just happened to exchange glances with Liu Yue, and then Mr. Liu saw it. He said that the way I looked at Liu Yue was particularly affectionate."
"So, he thinks that I like Liu Yue, but Iāve explained to him that I look affectionately at dogs too. I just have charming eyes, and I canāt change the way I look."
"But he doesnāt believe me. I really have said everything I wanted to say, but heās not planning to believe me at all. I truly feel very tired."
He hadnāt spoken before because he didnāt have the chance.
Now, at last, he had the chance to talk.
Since he had the chance, he definitely wanted to explain properly.
He couldnāt let Jiang Qi misunderstand anymore.
And he certainly couldnāt let Mr. Liu go back.
Liu Yue had sent Mr. Liu away to begin with, and they came here to stall for time.
If Mr. Liu went back now, wouldnāt all of Liu Yueās efforts have been wasted?
Not only that, but then everything he said would have been in vain too.
So he had to keep Mr. Liu here at all costs.
Mr. Liuās expression was somewhat stern.
There was already a slight change on Jiang Qiās face.
Qin Yuanās expression was very sincere as he continued to speak.
"After all, Iāve said so much, but he still doesnāt believe me. Then he still thinks I like Liu Yue. You just arrived in time to hear me discussing this with him."
"The reason Mr. Liu isnāt being frank with you is that heās afraid youāll tell Liu Yue about it and damage her reputation; thatās why heās denying it here."
"I think itās necessary to tell you, after all, youāre my brother. How could I not tell you?"
He had now explained the whole situation.
There really wasnāt anything hidden.
Nor was there anything to hide.
Besides, this truly wasnāt anything problematic.
Why hide it? Itās better to just speak up!
Hearing this, Jiang Qi suddenly had an epiphany.
So thatās what Mr. Liu was talking about.
He thought Mr. Liu was speaking for some other reason.
It turned out to be this reason.
With this in mind, Jiang Qi felt both amused and exasperated as he immediately said,
"Mr. Liu, actually, everything Qin Yuan has told you is correct, because he really does have charming eyes, and he truly looks affectionately at dogs, not just at Liu Yue in that way."
"He looks at us all affectionately too. Itās not because he likes Liu Yue, but because thatās just how his eyes are. I heard you saying this as soon as I arrived."
"It really scared me. At first, I truly thought what you were saying was true, but after cooling down and thinking about it, I felt it was not very likely."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan felt a bit helpless.
Though he used this analogy about himself.
But for some reason, when Jiang Qi mentioned it, why did it sound somewhat like an insult?
Could it be he was overthinking?
The next second, Mr. Liuās eyes became extremely serious, and he immediately said,
"Since you said he looks affectionately even at dogs, then why doesnāt he look at me affectionately? I feel like heās looking at me so fiercely right now. He really doesnāt seem to like the sight of me."
"Then heās still picking and choosing, isnāt he? Since thatās the case, why canāt I suspect that he likes Liu Yue? I donāt know whether Liu Yue likes him or not."
"But in any case, I think he likes Liu Yue. Now that I think about it, even if he likes Liu Yue, it wouldnāt damage her reputation. This could be considered as Liu Yue having such great charm that she attracts others."
Now that he thought about it, it seemed quite reasonable.
Before, it didnāt seem reasonable at all.
So there was no point in explaining so much anymore.
If he had thought this way earlier, he wouldnāt have wasted so much breath.
Just then, Jiang Qiās lips twitched slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.
Mr. Liu really couldnāt understand plain language, could he?
