Chapter 119: Resentful couple?

Lin Jianyan understood that this was a spoiled young master who was pampered by his family. He did not dare to rebel against his family, but was reluctant to break up with Chen Haowen, so he was now in a dilemma.

Lin Jianyan asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Chen Haowen rubbed his brows and said, "My parents were furious when they found out, but I haven't been dependent on my family for a long time, so they can't really control me."

"The worst that could happen is that they would beat me up and kick me out of the house, but my mom is soft-hearted and will just have to wait for them to calm down."

Qin Wu saw that Chen Haowen was the only one talking the whole time. Zhou Mu seemed to be evading responsibility, lowering his head and not saying anything. Qin Wu shouted in dissatisfaction: "Zhou Mu! Speak! I want to hear your thoughts."

When Zhou Mu heard Qin Wu's angry tone, his body trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head, his face full of confusion and embarrassment. After hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse and timid:

"Of course I want to continue to be with Awen, but my father and sister don't agree."

Qin Wu frowned, "So you plan to break up with Awen?"

Zhou Mu waved his hands in panic, "No, of course not, I don't want to break up with Awen!"

Seeing his cowardly look of wanting what he wanted, Qin Wu's temper suddenly flared up, and he slammed the table hard. The sound was so loud that Lin Jianyan and the other two beside him were scared and huddled together, moving a little away from the angry Qin Wu.

"I'm not asking for your ideas, I'm asking for your solutions!"

"Your family doesn't agree, and you don't want to break up with Awen. What's your solution? Zhou Mu, you are already 24 years old. It's time for you to grow up. You have a long life ahead of you. You need to have your own ideas and can't continue to be your father's good boy."

Zhou Mu was frightened by Qin Wu's sudden anger and his body trembled. His eyes turned red in an instant and his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Chen Haowen, who was standing by, also looked helpless as he watched the scene. He wanted to say something to help Zhou Mu, but he felt that Zhou Mu really needed to grow up, so he kept silent.

After a long while, Zhou Mu finally seemed to have found his voice, and said in a tearful voice: "I... I also want to find a way, but you know my father's temper. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change it. If I forcefully disobey him, he... he will definitely get sick from anger."

"Then are you going to give up Awen just because of your father's temper?" Qin Wu frowned. If they hadn't known each other for more than ten years, he really wouldn't want to care about him at all.

"Your own happiness is not important? Are you going to continue to be a coward and let others dictate your life?"

Zhou Mu bit his lips tightly until they turned a little bloody. He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, his nails almost digging into his flesh. "Of course I don't want to give up Awen. I really like him, but I don't want to hurt my dad's feelings. I..."

Seeing him like this, Chen Haowen smiled bitterly, lowered his head slightly, and his long eyelashes hid the loneliness in his eyes. "Brother Wu, don't force him. Just leave it like this. If it can be accomplished, it will be accomplished. If it can't be accomplished, forget it. It's not that one cannot live without the other."

Zhou Mu's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something to refute, but it was as if there was a stone stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Everyone was silent. Just then, the waiter outside knocked on the door. Gu Weiguang hurried to open the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

A few people ordered a few dishes at random, and the meal was no longer lively. Li Xinran and Chen Jiaqi came back confused, but they were too lazy to ask.

It's better to ask less about the affairs of these big men, because one of their words might provoke them. They still want to continue the talk, not expecting a formal status, but at least they can talk for a longer time and get a generous breakup fee.

Everyone at the meal was unhappy. They had come here happily for the meal, but who could have known that something like this would happen, making the situation even more chaotic.

No one else can help with matters of the heart; whether it is fate or curse, it all depends on the luck of the two individuals.

After dinner, no one was in the mood to go out for fun, and after Su Kang settled the bill, everyone left one after another.

The bodyguard who was knocked unconscious and came to monitor Zhou Mu was still leaning against the corner of the door, and he hadn't woken up yet. I wonder how much force Qin Wu and his two bodyguards had used to make him unconscious and still not wake up?

Qin Wu gave a look, and a bodyguard behind him stepped forward and pinched one of the man's acupoints, quickly waking him up.

The man opened his eyes and was confused for a moment, but soon came to his senses and stood up immediately. He didn't say anything, but just stood behind Zhou Mu and looked at them vigilantly.

No one looked at him. After going downstairs, they agreed to meet again when they had time and then left separately.

When the two of them got in the car and returned, Lin Jianyan asked the question in her heart: "How come Zhou Mu, who looks so weak and quiet, became friends with you guys?"

"From what I know about you, you probably don't like dealing with people of this character."

Qin Wu sighed and explained to him, "I met them at a banquet when I was a child. At that time, my grandfather saw that I had no friends around me, so he took me to a few parties, and then I got to know them."

"I got to know Zhou Mu because Ah Wen always had him with him. I didn't like Zhou Mu's personality at first. I thought he was a boy who was as weak as a girl and we couldn't play together."

"But Ah Wen has been taking care of him all the time. Anyway, we don't need to take care of him. After a while, we accepted it. The main reason is that Zhou Mu has a calm temperament and never makes a big fuss. When he was young, he was a very good child and followed Ah Wen around every day."

Lin Jianyan discovered the bright spot, "So they actually had signs when they were young, but they were probably too young to realize it at that time."

Qin Wu: "...How should I know? I don't care about these things."

Lin Jianyan: That’s right. When you were a child, you were like a hyperactive child. How could you pay attention to these things?

Qin Wu continued, "We all had our own things to do later, so we spent less time together. Except for the occasional phone call to arrange a time to have a meal together, we were busy most of the time."

"But after all, we have known each other for more than ten years. I really don't want to see them become a pair of enemies."

Lin Jianyan patted his dog's head, "Don't think too much. Who can say for sure about love? What Chen Haowen said just now is quite right. This world is not a place where one cannot live without the other."
