Chapter 270: Shes just looking out for you

270 She's just looking out for you

''Bro, dress up and come outside. I'm in front of your home.''

Liu Wei said immediately Jin Yue answered the phone.

''What? be serious, ''

''I am, now hurry let's go drink. I haven't had a good drink in a while.''

Jin Yue cut the call and in a few minutes, Liu Wei saw him coming out of his compound.

Liu Wei was leaning on his car, so when he saw him, he walked to the driver's seat and sat down, starting the engine. As soon as Jin Yue sat down, he sped off.

When they arrived at a bar, they sat down and ordered drinks.

Jin Yue looked thinner and a bit worn out, although he tried his best to laugh throughout the ride, Liu Wei could see through his fa?ade.

''She doesn't want to talk to me.''

Jin Yue said after sometime; he took a last gulp of his alcohol and slowly refilled his glass.

''She doesn't even want to see me, it's like she doesn't know me anymore. What if she hates me now? ''

''That's not true. She's hurting but it doesn't mean that she hates you. You can't easily hate someone you love.? ''

Liu Wei said, trying to console.

''How then will I get her to listen to what I have to say? ''

Liu Wei heaved a sigh. Liling had mentioned that she did not want to hear anything about Jin Yue, so getting her to listen to him was going to be quite tough.

''Have you tried sending her a text? ''

''She already blocked me from calling and texting her. ''

Liu Wei was quiet for a moment.

''Liling had tried talking to her but she refused to listen, she is really hurt. ''

''Yeah, I know. '' Jin Yue brushed his hand through his hair, devastatingly.

''To think I had enough troubles on my table, today, I found out there is about 10,000,000 Yuan missing in the company, and I cannot even tell how such amount got missing. ''

''What? 10,000,000? How come? ''

Liu Wei asked, surprised. He didn't even know that Jin Yue was facing such a problem.

''I don't know, but I will get the financial statements tomorrow, I just wish it was a misstatement or miscalculation. You know, the problem is not the money; I have to know the root of the problem itself in order to prevent it from reoccurring. ''

Liu Wei nodded; he understood what Jin Yue was trying to say.

''Just know I'm here for you whenever you need me, okay? ''

''Yeah; now enough about me, I saw the news about you and your sunshine, how you cleared the feud was amazing! I mean, why aren't you guys married yet? Come to think of it, you haven't even proposed?!''

Jin Yue raised his brows. ''And don't tell me you are waiting for the right moment because the right moment is now! Come on, do you want the likes of Eva to tear you guys apart before you know it? ''

Liu Wei chuckled;

I'm afraid that she'll turn me down if I propose to her, so I just want to live in the moment and not think about it.

My grandparents are coming back in a few months' time, if I can get them to accept Liling, then I will go on with the wedding but for now, it's not quite possible. She doesn't want me going against my family because of her. ''

Liu Wei explained, twirling his glass; when he finished speaking, he pushed his head backwards and took it all in one gulp.

Jin Yue was quiet for a moment, ''She's just looking out for you. ''

''Yeah, I know, but I told her I have enough money to last us a lifetime but she says family comes first. ''

Jin Yue understood Liling from her point of view. Liu Wei was the only son and only child; it was going to be selfish to make him leave his family because of her.

''To think the woman he wants me to marry tried to hurt her. ''

Liu Wei said, scoffing.

"'Wait, I didn't hear that part clearly, come again?''

Jin Yue was beyond shocked.

''I can't even remember her name, but she caused those lights to fall; I let her go because Liling did not get scratched. If she had harmed even a hair on her body, she wouldn't even be alive to tell the tale.

I wonder what she was thinking, that if she killed Liling, I would marry her?? Some people are just hilarious! If I can't get my grandparent's approval for me to marry Liling, and Liling refuses to marry me, then I'll wed no-one else.? ''

''This is serious. And he still wants you to marry her?''

''Obviously, he's just quiet for the moment because, you know, what she did was very grievous. ''

''Wow, I'm shocked beyond words. But have you tried getting her pregnant? I don't think your father would want your child outside the family. ''

Liu Wei eyes shook. He was quiet for a while.

''Now you've mentioned it, I can't remember the last time we used protection, but since she had not missed her periods, she's not pregnant. And yes, I've thought about that, but you know Liling's career is just beginning; having a baby now would be quite unfair to her. ''

Jin Yue sighed;

''Yeah ''

Silence ensued as Jin Yue's mind thought back to his own child he had caused to die. If only he could turn back the hands of time.

As though Liu Wei sensed what Jin Yue was thinking, he quickly changed the topic.

'' I'm going to America to sort out some issues for about two weeks, and I'm still wondering how I'll tell Liling about it. ''

''What? ''

Jin Yue burst out laughing. ''You sure know you are going no-where right? ''

Liu Wei sighed.

''You're such a bad energy, I'm looking for advice and you are here making the matter worse! ''
