Several people turned their heads to look.
Su Qingyao strode angrily toward them, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Mu Shaohua.
She then unceremoniously squeezed in next to Lu Qingzhou, pressing her body close to his.
Looking at the two men, Lu Qingzhou could tell at a glance that the negotiations had failed.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. He remembered seeing Mu Shaohua return alone earlier, with a smug look on his face, and shamelessly bragging to them!
Lu Qingzhou was genuinely startled, mistakenly believing that Su Qingyao, the proud and arrogant girl, would withdraw from the competition.
In retrospect, this appears to be the final outcome of their negotiations.
From the very beginning, his proposal of "double benefit" was merely a pretext.
Lu Qingzhou himself was also aware of this.
Making such a request, which seems quite "excessive" to everyone, inevitably caused them some resentment.
However, he must clearly state his position; ambiguity is unacceptable.
That's basically what he meant. As for the final outcome, it depends on the progress of their further negotiations.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they all disagree in the end.
He can first calm the two women down, and then slowly work things out to get them to accept the idea.
In this process, he only needs to use some strategies to break down their psychological defenses one by one.
But that's all in the future. We'll talk about it later!
Given their current competitive nature, they are bound to argue with each other.
In the end, everything will probably go back to square one.
Pulling my thoughts back,
Lu Qingzhou picked up his water glass, took a small sip, and then deliberately asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"
Su Qingyao rolled her eyes at him resentfully, then glared fiercely at Mu Shaohua, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I... I didn't back out!"
Mu Shaohua gave a cold laugh and said sarcastically, "So what do we do now? How about we split it equally? One slice and we're each in half!"
Su Qingyao ignored Mu Shaohua, her gaze fixed on Lu Qingzhou, her face ashen. "Tell me, what should we do?"
...
Lu Qingzhou was caught in the crossfire of their gazes.
Honestly,
It wouldn't have been a problem if he hadn't been there when the two clashed outside.
Right now, this is really giving me a headache!
If there were a thousand ducks quacking...
"Please calm down and talk things out. We're all family, why make such a fuss?"
Su Qingyao persisted, "What's there to say? Lu Qingzhou, you have to make a choice, you can't be so vague."
Mu Shaohua also held tightly to Lu Qingzhou's sleeve: "Little Lu, I really want to be with you. Let's live a good life together. Okay?"
Lu Qingzhou watched as the two refused to give in.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm in a difficult position right now because of what you're doing. I need time to think and deal with this. Arguing like this won't solve anything."
Su Qingyao snorted and complained, "Give you time? Who knows if you'll side with her? Mu Shaohua, don't think you can get away with just a few nice words."
Mu Shaohua retorted, "Crazy old woman...!"
Su Qingyao: "You.."
Just as the two were about to start another round of arguments,
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingzhou frowned.
He shouted angrily, "Alright, stop arguing! Calm down, both of you! What will Zhouzhou and Momo think if they see you like this?"
Suddenly, Leng Yue spoke up: "You all need to calm down. There's no point in arguing like this. Handsome Lu, what are you really thinking?"
Lu Qingzhou glanced at the group and said, "I've already made my thoughts very clear: for Zhouzhou and Momo's sake, I won't give up on either of them!"
"You...are greedy, hmph..."
Mu Shaohua and the other person stomped their feet in anger and turned their heads away!
Lu Qingzhou: "Greedy? No! I just want to give you a home!"
Everyone: ...
The spacious living room fell into a deathly silence instantly!
...
I don't know how much time has passed!
Mu Shaohua chuckled, looking deeply at Lu Qing, a gentle smile appearing on her beautiful face!
He then shifted his gaze to Su Qingyao, looking at her calmly, "Alright, then I'll be frank with you."
“Su Qingyao, I know how you feel about Xiao Lu, but so do I. Besides, the children need a complete family.”
"I've thought it through. As long as I can be with Lu Qingzhou and give Momo a complete family, I don't care about status!"
These words elicited varying reactions from the group.
Lu Qingzhou turned his head slightly, gazing at Mu Shaohua, his heart surging with emotions like a tidal wave! He was so moved that he burst into tears.
See that? Do you all see that? That's what vision is all about!
Lu Qingzhou never expected that in such a short period of time, Sister Shaohua's vision had expanded so much!
That broad chest seemed capable of holding a hundred rivers; even if he used both hands and feet, he couldn't grasp it! It was too big...! *slurp*...
Lu Qingzhou was so excited that he couldn't express it.
Sister Shaohua is so good to herself!
She actually made the final compromise for her own sake!
Damn, I'm so touched, panting... I almost want to take my clothes off!
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Lu Qingzhou would have liked to strip naked immediately, lie obediently on Sister Shaohua's bed, and let her do whatever she wanted with him!
Helpless, he thought and thought, but he couldn't seem to have anything worthwhile to show his sincerity.
