I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop
Chapter 1193 - Chapter 1193 Chapter 684 Soaking in the Lab Every Day_2

Chapter 1193: Chapter 684: Soaking in the Lab Every Day_2 Chapter 1193: Chapter 684: Soaking in the Lab Every Day_2 This is wrong.

At that moment, Qin Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately began to retort.

“Liu Lao, what you said is not right. What do you mean by saying that we’ve put our work aside? We’ve never put our work aside.”

“So there’s no such thing as not working and just playing. That’s not the case, and besides, we’re using our spare time right now.”

“Besides, Liu Lao, are you a bit confused now? Have you forgotten that it’s our spare time?”

Saying this, Qin Yuan even cocked his head to the side.

His gesture was a bit infuriating.

Liu Lao was so angry he could barely stand it, but he took a deep breath and managed not to let the anger seep into his heart.

As time ticked away, Liu Lao didn’t say a word.

Although he didn’t speak, Liu Lao’s mood was still very foul, and he couldn’t swallow his pride.

How could he swallow it, being treated like this by his subordinate?

He probably wouldn’t be able to swallow it for a long time.

Just then, Wu Zeyuan spoke up slowly.

“No way. I think Liu Lao is still quite young. Surely he’s not so muddled that he can’t even remember the time, right?”

“Qin Yuan, you’re wrong here. Liu Lao is still very young, so that situation doesn’t exist. So, Liu Lao was just joking with us.”

“And you too, how could you take a joke so seriously? You should quickly apologize to Liu Lao. Realizing one’s mistake and correcting it is the most virtuous thing to do!”

Wu Zeyuan even said the things Liu Lao should’ve said.

He looked very serious, even winking at Qin Yuan.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan’s face didn’t show any surprise, for after all, it had just been an awkward silence, so Wu Zeyuan was just smoothing things over.

But he didn’t feel any regret.

After all, those were the words he wanted to say.

It was just about giving Liu Lao a way to step down gracefully.

No matter what, they would still have to work together in the future, so providing a way down was essential.

The next second, Qin Yuan tapped his own head and said very seriously,

“Ah, look at me, what nonsense I’m spouting. Liu Lao, I misspoke just now, please don’t take it to heart.”

Hearing this, Liu Lao showed no reaction on his face.

After all, he was aware they were just playing good cop, bad cop.

But since they had taken it this far, he really couldn’t be petty.

Being petty would make him seem too small-minded, and besides, he was a leader, how could he be so petty?

It would be unseemly if word got out.

What’s more important was that his daughter was there.

He couldn’t leave a bad impression on her.

The next moment, Liu Lao spoke up slowly.

“It’s fine, you were just joking with me, I won’t take it to heart.”

“Besides, I’m not so petty. I can take a joke, so there’s no need for an apology.”

“Alright, my daughter and I have to go take care of this matter now. You’ve been here for quite a while already, why don’t you sit down and take a break?”

He invited them earnestly.

He was actually telling them to take a seat and not to meddle anymore.

Though he didn’t say it outright, that was the implication.

Qin Yuan and the others were no fools.

They caught on immediately.

Still, he chose to sit down.

Wu Zeyuan and Jiang Qi also sat down one after another.

Smiles appeared on their faces.

Just then, Liu Yue spoke up slowly.

“Father, you don’t need to say those words to me. Even if you do, I’m still going to leave this house. Since I’ve chosen to leave.”

“I won’t regret it, and besides, I’m not saying I want to sever ties with you; I just want to live my own life, to escape your restraint.”

“To be honest, I really don’t want to live under your restraint anymore; it’s incredibly oppressive.”

I never really felt truly happy with my father from childhood to adulthood.

And I truly felt very oppressed.

If I didn’t feel oppressed, I wouldn’t talk this way.

A moment later, Old Liu spoke earnestly, “Liu Yue, why are you still saying this? Didn’t we just agree? If your mother comes back, then I’ll conduct the experiment with you. Your mother hasn’t come back, has she?”

“Now I have no choice, and you can only follow me back. Don’t think about escaping my restraint anymore. Didn’t we already agree?”

“But now you’re going back on your word, saying you want to escape my restraint. There’s no evidence proving that my restraint is wrong, so why do you want to leave?”

We haven’t even conducted the experiment, so how can we prove that his methods are wrong?

Since there’s no proof that his methods are wrong.

Then these things shouldn’t be said here.

Liu Yue’s expression darkened slightly.

The next moment, Old Liu raised his eyebrows and continued speaking, “I’m just disciplining you here; can’t a father discipline his own daughter? If a father can’t discipline his daughter.”

“Then what’s the point of our existence? I’ve always been doing this for your own good, why can’t you appreciate it?”

“Liu Yue, do you know how saddened I am by your lack of gratitude? I thought you would be happy, after all, it’s a happy thing to have parents who discipline.”

With that, Old Liu paused.

He was observing every move Liu Yue made.

But Liu Yue felt very helpless, even shrugging her shoulders.

After what felt like a long time, Liu Yue finally looked at Old Liu seriously, “Father, I don’t want to break ties with you, I’m just moving out of the house. I’m grown up and shouldn’t still be controlled by you.”

“You always say that it’s not safe outside, but what does safety mean? If I always feel unsafe outside, should I just stay at home and be protected by you?”

“I have to face it alone; I can’t keep running away like this. I will bravely face everything I should face!”

Her personality was originally one of avoidance.

Now that she had come to terms with it and stopped running away, she had to overcome this trait.

Only by overcoming it could she be truly happy and joyful.

Otherwise, she’d live in oppression forever.

Old Liu’s face immediately darkened, and he said nothing.

Though silent, his gaze remained fixed on Liu Yue.

After a moment, Wu Zeyuan nodded and then spoke promptly, “Liu Yue, you’re not wrong, you have an avoidant personality. But now you’ve bravely taken this step, and you’re no longer that kind of person.”

“Now you’re going to live the life you want, all through your own efforts, and since it’s from your own hard work.”

“Then you’ll definitely be happy and joyful, because it’s what you want. How could it not be joyful? It’s what you don’t want that makes you unhappy.”

His words were very clear.

This was not an implication but an explicit statement.

He was saying that what Old Liu had done wasn’t what Liu Yue had wanted.

Any smart person could see this.

Hearing these words, Old Liu immediately turned his gaze to Wu Zeyuan with irritation, yet he spoke earnestly, “What are you talking about, you brat? How can you say such things, what do you mean my efforts aren’t what Liu Yue wants?”

“Is there any father more concerned for his child than I am? I really care deeply for my child, I’ve been involved since she was small; other fathers neglect their children.”

“Since I’m willing to discipline my child and care so much, why do you keep picking at me here? Why don’t you learn to be content?”

The last statement didn’t seem to be addressed to Wu Zeyuan.

It seemed more like he was speaking to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue’s expression didn’t show any particular reaction.

After all, she was used to her father being like this.
