The old man on the other end of the phone continued to speak, "The other party's attitude was very tough. They only said to wait. They refused to completely agree."
When he said this, the old man's tone was full of regret.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"Grandpa Jian, you don't have to be so polite. I didn't help much. I think it's better for you to continue to communicate with the other party."
"I understand."
After saying this, Grandpa Jian hung up the phone.
Jian Shuxing and the others had melancholy expressions on their faces. They could already tell from Grandpa Jian's tone that things weren't going well.
Jian Yunnao hung his head down. It was obvious that he was very disappointed.
No one cared about the progress of this matter more than him.
No one wanted this operation to be completed more than him.
However, once again, he received disappointing news.
Next to him, Jian Shuxing comforted him, "It's okay. It's not bad news. It's the same as before. Just wait a little longer."
The other party didn't refuse them. Therefore, it wasn't bad news.
However, they were hoping that the other party would give them a clearer and more certain answer.
"It doesn't matter."
Jian Yunnao continued to play with his phone. He pretended that he didn't care.
Anyway, he was already like this. What could be worse?
Seeing him like this, Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan's hearts felt very uncomfortable.
When He Yan saw this, she hurriedly asked the chef to bring up the grilled food to ease the atmosphere.
"Come on, let's eat first. This Australian lobster is good. The meat looks quite tender."
The ingredients that He Yan prepared were the best that she could buy in a short period of time.
Australian lobster, Japanese beef, caviar, king crab, and so on.
Grandma Jian didn't like it when He Yan did this. She wanted to pile up all the expensive ingredients that she could buy in front of her.
Grandma Jian felt that the quality of the food was more important than the price. The way to treat guests was more important than the price.
However, Grandma Jian didn't say anything to He Yan. It was just that their habits were different. As a mother-in-law, she respected the habits of her daughter-in-law.
In order to ease the atmosphere, everyone also began to eat.
He Yan also asked the servants to send some food over to Zhai Yunsheng.
At this moment, Jian Yujie came over with a tray of soup.
It was vegetarian soup. She had put matsutake, fresh bamboo shoots, and other ingredients in it. She had simmered it over a charcoal fire.
The taste was fresh and tasty, and it was perfect for drinking when one was eating greasy barbecue.
Jian Yujie placed a bowl in front of everyone. Then, he returned to Jian Yiling's side.
If he didn't hurry back, his position would be taken by someone else.
Old Master and Old Madam happily tasted the soup made by their granddaughter.
Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan held the soup that their daughter had made in their hands. They had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Jian Yuncheng's gaze softened a little. Then, he scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Jian Yunnao looked at the soup in front of him. Suddenly, he moved his left hand and knocked over the bowl.
The soup bowl was flipped over on the table. The soup inside wet the table and dripped onto the floor.
In an instant, the entire place fell silent, and the atmosphere froze.
Everyone looked at the overturned bowl beside Jian Yunnao. Their expressions froze.
Wen Nuan's heart tightened. She held onto Jian Shuxing's hand tightly.
Grandma Jian frowned. Everyone could see that Jian Yunnao was doing this on purpose.
He was telling everyone that it was impossible for him to forgive Jian Yiling. He would never eat anything that Jian Yiling cooked.
