Chapter 1138
Cai Qishui had expected better from him. His usually kind face was now dyed with a thin layer of anger.
If the Yu Family had not helped them in the past, he really wanted to give Yu Leyou a tight slap.
“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?!”
Yu Leyou’s hands were tightly clenched into fists.
He was still in shock that Melody Fox was actually Ximber Tech’s higher-ups.
However, no matter how shocked he was, this was the truth.
CEO Fu had said it himself. It was definitely not fake, and there was no need to lie to people like them who were seeking cooperation.
He lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, “I’m sorry, Uncle Cai. I know I was wrong.”
Cai Qishui expected better from him.
“What’s the point of apologizing?”
“Then, then I’ll go look for Melody Fox now.”
As Yu Leyou spoke, he stepped forward to look for Melody Fox.
“Stop right there!”
Cai Qishui stopped him coldly and said, “Miss Fox is in a fit of anger and doesn’t want to see you at all. If you go over now, you’ll only make her angrier.”
Yu Leyou stopped in his tracks and looked at Cai Qishui as he promised, “Then I’ll look for her later. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let this collaboration continue. I won’t drag you down.”
“You? Impossible! You still call her by her full name. It would be strange if you could apologize properly!”
“-“
“Don’t worry about this for now. Tell me honestly, what grudge do you have with her? Only when we’re clear can we discuss what to do next.”
“I… this…”
Cai Qishui was even more furious when he saw Yu Leyou hemming and hawing and refusing to speak.
“What? You still don’t know how to repent? Don’t you know that you’ve caused trouble?”
“I know I’m in trouble…”
“Then tell me honestly what happened between the two of you. Tell me everything and don’t leave out a single word.” Under Cai Qishui’s interrogation, Yu Leyou finally revealed what had happened between them.
Cai Qishui’s expression turned even uglier.
“In other words, you’re courting her, but she didn’t agree, yet you continue to pester her?”
“No, I’m not pestering her. I’m just pursuing her normally.”
“Heh!” Cai Qishui sneered. “Since that’s the case, why are you still entangled with my Lele?”
Yu Leyou’s back stiffened and he quickly explained, “No, I didn’t. I just treat Lele as my younger sister.”
“Be a younger sister? Can’t you tell that she likes you? If you had done this earlier, why didn’t you make yourself clear as Fox? Why did you rush to our house to pick her up at the cocktail party? Are you playing with her feelings?”
“I didn’t, Uncle Cai, I really didn’t!”
“Enough! I don’t want to hear you talk about this anymore. Don’t bother about the collaboration. Go and make things clear to Lele now. Otherwise, our family and yours won’t need to interact anymore.”
Yu Leyou’s face paled.
This consequence was even more serious than losing their cooperation.
His father might beat him to death.
“Uncle Cai…”
Just as he was about to continue explaining, Cai Lele walked over and asked with a dazed expression, “Brother Xiao You, so… you already have someone you like?”
“I…” Yu Leyou opened his mouth, but in the face of the Yu Family’s current situation, he couldn’t give an affirmative
answer.
“Who is the person you like? Is she here today?”
“Lele… I’ll explain this to you later. But believe me, I really don’t have any intention of toying with your feelings.”
“Hmph!” Cai Qishui snorted and said, “Lele, stop talking. Let’s go! I was wrong. Such a person is not worthy of your liking at all! Let’s go!”
Cai Qishui pulled Cai Lele and was about to leave.
However, Cai Lele had a crush on him for so many years. How could she allow it to end just like that?
She broke free from Cai Qishui’s hand and said, “Dad, you go first. I want to talk to Brother Xiao You alone for a while.” “You, you were raised by me, Jin Zunyu. Why do you have to do this?”
If Yu Leyou had a bit of masculinity and a bit of responsibility, he wouldn’t have come to the cocktail party with another woman when he already had someone he liked.
Even if they came, they would tell him in advance.
He was an old fox who had been in the business world for half his life. How could he not know why Yu Leyou was like this?
It was just that the Yu Family was in decline and needed the support of their Cai Family!
He, Cai Qishui, could accept that Yu Leyou did not like his daughter, but he could not accept that his daughter was deceived and used by Yu Leyou!
“Dad, just give me a few minutes of room Fox! Just a few minutes…”
No matter how uncomfortable Cai Qishui felt, he still nodded in the end in the face of his daughter’s plea.
“All right, I’ll give you five minutes. Room Fox. In five minutes, I want to see you back with me.”
“Got it, Dad.”
After Cai Qishui left, Cai Lele looked at Yu Leyou and asked with a complicated expression, “Brother Xiao You, now that my father has left, tell me the truth. Do you really like that woman that much? Do you really not have any feelings for me in your heart?”
Yu Leyou opened his mouth, but Room 1 Fox didn’t know how to respond.
He was very sure that he had no romantic feelings for Cai Lele.
However, if they lost the cooperation with Ximber Tech and the help of the Cai family, their Yu family would really go bankrupt.
Yu Leyou clenched his fists tightly. He already knew what the most important thing now was.
It was not a relationship between a man and a woman, but the prosperity of their family.
“Brother Xiao You, answer me.” Cai Lele was a little anxious. Cai Qishui had only given her Fox rooms for five minutes.
She did not want her years of crush to end in vain. At least, she needed a positive answer before she could completely give up and end this love hidden in her heart.
Girls were all like this. As long as the other party made things clear to her, it wouldn’t be so difficult to end it.
On the other hand, it would be difficult for him to escape under unclear circumstances.
Yu Leyou was in a dilemma before he finally spoke.
“I… actually admire her more than I like her.”
Cai Lele was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up.
She sensed a glimmer of hope from Yu Leyou’s words.
“Then, what about you and me?”
Cai Lele threw caution to the wind and said directly, “I’ve liked you since I was Fox in high school. For so many years, this relationship hasn’t changed. Later on, we worked in different fields, but I still paid attention to you. Looking at you, I guessed what you were doing every day… Brother Xiao You, I really like you. Can you… give me a chance? Perhaps, I’m more suitable for you than that person?” Yu Leyou was a little surprised.
Cai Lele actually liked him for so long?
This really surprised him.
Astonished, Yu Leyou felt less defeated by Melody Fox.
It was undeniable that Cai Lele had given him a lot of confidence as a man.
