The old man on the other end of the phone continued: "The other party's attitude is very tough. They are only willing to wait a little longer, but they are not willing to fully agree."

When he said this, the old man's tone was full of regret.

"I know, thank you for your hard work."

"Old Jian, don't be polite. I can't help you. I think it's safer for you to continue communicating with the other party."

"I see."

After speaking, Mr. Jian hung up the phone.

Jian Shutao and others looked melancholy. They had already learned from Mr. Jian's tone that things were not going smoothly.

Jian Yunnao lowered his head, obviously disappointed.

No one cared more about the progress of this matter than he did.

No one wants this surgery done more than he does.

But now he once again received disappointing news.

Jian Shutao next to him comforted him: "It's okay. It's not bad news. It's just the same as before. Just wait."

The other party didn't reject them, so it wasn't bad news.

It's just that they expect the other party to give them a clearer and more certain answer.

"It doesn't matter."

Jian Yunnao continued to lower his head and play with his mobile phone, pretending that he didn't care.

He was like this anyway, what could be worse

Seeing him like this, Jian Shuluo and Huan Nuan felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, He Yan hurriedly asked the cook to bring the baked goods to lighten the atmosphere.

"Come on, let's eat first. This Australian lobster is good. The meat looks quite tender."

The ingredients prepared by He Yan were all selected from the best that she could buy in a short time.

Australian lobster, Japanese Wagyu beef, caviar, king crab and more.

Madam Jian didn't like what He Yan was doing, and wished she could pile all the expensive ingredients she could buy in front of her.

The old lady believes that food is more important than expensive food, and hospitality is more important than gold.

However, the old lady would not say anything about He Yan, but her habits were different. As a mother-in-law, she respected her daughter-in-law's habits.

In order to lighten the atmosphere, everyone also started eating.

He Yan also specially asked the servant to send some to Zhai Yunsheng.

At this time, Jian Yujie brought soup on a tray.

It was a vegetarian soup that Jian Yiling simmered in a jar. It contained matsutake mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots and other ingredients and simmered it over a charcoal fire.

It tastes delicious and relieves greasiness. It’s just right to drink a bowl when you’re feeling greasy after eating barbecue.

Jian Yujie placed a bowl in front of everyone and then returned to Jian Yiling.

It seemed that if he didn't go back soon, his place would be taken by someone else.

The old man and the old lady happily tasted the soup cooked by their granddaughter.

Jian Shuhui and Wen Nuan held the soup cooked by their daughter in their hands, feeling very complicated in their hearts.

Jian Yuncheng's eyes softened a little, then he took a mouthful of it with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Jian Yunnao looked at the soup in front of him, suddenly moved his left hand and knocked the bowl over.

The soup bowl was turned sideways on the table, and the soup inside wet the table and flowed to the floor.

For a moment, the whole place fell silent and the atmosphere solidified.

Everyone's expressions froze as they looked at the overturned bowl beside Jian Yunnao.

Nuan Nuan's heart was tugged, and he tightly grasped Jian Shulu's hand beside him.

Mrs. Jian frowned, everyone could see that Jian Yunnao did it on purpose.

He was telling everyone that it was impossible for him to forgive Jian Yiling, and it was impossible for him to eat what Jian Yiling cooked.
