Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 388 - 368: Cold and Unfeeling (Part 1)

Fang Jingyi’s cold, angry voice came through the phone.

The crease between Jin Jumo’s brows deepened, but her tone remained calm, "It seems that now everything that makes Ms. Fang unhappy is caused by me?"

"You don’t need to speak to me with that sarcasm. You know well what you’ve done!"

"I don’t understand. If Ms. Fang needs someone to vent her anger upon or blame, I can’t stop you, but if that someone is me, I’m sorry, I am not anyone’s scapegoat, nor am I willing to swallow insults silently. If Ms. Fang continues to speak to me in ways that make me uncomfortable, then I’m afraid I must hang up and block you." Jin Jumo’s voice turned cold as she replied.

"You’re too arrogant..."

"Ms. Fang, just consider me arrogant then. If there’s nothing else, I’m sorry, but I can’t entertain you any longer." After Jin Jumo finished speaking, she removed the phone, ready to end the call with Fang Jingyi.

"Jin Jumo!"

Jin Jumo’s fingertip was already on the hang-up button when the sound of Fang Jingyi’s frantic scream pierced through the phone. Even through the screen, Jin Jumo could feel Jingyi’s current furious state.

Jin Jumo paused her motion to hang up, hesitated for a moment, and then brought the phone back to her ear.

"What do you think you are? Jin Jumo, what exactly are you? I am his biological mother! For you, for you, how could he be so cruel to me? How could he be so cruel to his own mother?!"

Fang Jingyi’s shrill angry voice poured into her ear, making Jin Jumo’s frown deepen.

"Just because I don’t agree with you being with Mo Chen, you try to drive a wedge between Mo Chen and me, causing him to sever our mother-son relationship. Now, he won’t even see me. Just for this reason, just for this, I will never back down and let you marry into the Rong Family! What right does a vile woman like you have to be a daughter-in-law of the Rong Family?"

"You’d better let go of that idea, take your two illegitimate children, and get out of Z City!"

"I’m telling you, Jin Jumo, as long as I’m alive, I will never just sit back and watch you marry Mo Chen, even if it costs me my life, you can forget about succeeding!"

"You make me sick, utterly sick!"

"Ugh..."

The call had ended quite a while ago, yet Jin Jumo still held the phone to her ear.

Fang Jingyi’s words buzzed in her ear repeatedly, every sentence, every word was exceptionally clear.

The coldness surged up from her feet, penetrating layer by layer, spreading through her veins to her heart.

The area around her heart felt like it had frozen, waves of chill spreading to every corner of her body.

Jin Jumo’s shoulders lightly shook, her face white as snow.

She didn’t know if it was too cold or not, but a wave of nausea nearly forced its way up her throat. Jin Jumo covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.

Her ten fingers, white and translucent, frailly clung to the sink, and although Jin Jumo vomited until she was weak, she could not shake off the nausea in her throat.

The phone ring suddenly sounded from outside. Jin Jumo’s eyes, a shade of crimson like peach blossoms, flashed with a brief panic as she looked out from the bathroom, and her ten fingers suddenly clenched the edge of the sink tight.

When the phone ringing ceased and silence returned to the room, Jin Jumo’s tense face finally relaxed a little.

She weakly turned around, leaning her waist against the edge of the sink, her eyes bloodshot yet vacant.

You’d better let go of that idea, take your two illegitimate children, and get out of Z City...

Even if it costs me my life, you can forget about succeeding...

You make me sick, utterly sick...

Jin Jumo suddenly closed her eyes, and her heart felt as if it were being torn apart by cold, strong hands; it wasn’t pain, it was panic, fear.

At this moment, Jin Jumo was helpless and bewildered.

She didn’t know what she had done to make Fang Jingyi hate her so much, enough to oppose her relationship with Rong Mochen even at the cost of her life?

Was it because she initially sold herself for money to Rong Mochen, or was it her attitude?

Jin Jumo lowered her head, the stinging sensation in the corner of her eyes relentlessly pushing her emotions to the brink!

Just then, the sound of a gentle knock came from the bedroom door.

Jin Jumo slowly opened her eyes, pressing down the hoarseness in her throat with all her might, "What’s up?"

"Miss, you’re not asleep." Tan Yu said as she pushed open the door and walked in.

Perhaps because Jin Jumo was so easygoing, Tan Yu and the other three maids were increasingly unrestrained in front of her.

Hearing the door open, Jin Jumo hurriedly turned around, pulled her short hair behind her ear, slightly covering half her face, and took a light breath, "Aunt Tan, do you need something?"

Tan Yu was still looking around the room for Jin Jumo. When she suddenly heard her voice coming from the bathroom, she was startled and looked in that direction, only to see Jin Jumo standing before the sink, seemingly looking in the mirror.

Tan Yu suspected nothing, smiling as she walked over, "Mr. Rong called your cell phone just now, you didn’t answer, so he was worried you’d fallen asleep on the balcony and caught a cold. He specifically called the villa’s landline for me to come check on you."

Jin Jumo’s expression suddenly froze, her peach blossom eyes flickering as she looked at her pale face in the mirror.

"Mr. Rong is really good to you." Tan Yu stood at the bathroom door, smiling as she marveled.

Jin Jumo lowered her chin, her voice barely audible, "Yes, he’s very good to me, much better than I am to him."

Hearing Jin Jumo’s words, Tan Yu laughed, "Why would you say that, Miss? From what I see, you’re very good to Mr. Rong as well. Look, you’ve given Mr. Rong a pair of lovely children, and in a few months, you’ll be adding another son or daughter. Maybe you feel this is nothing, that any woman can have children, but the pain of childbirth isn’t something every woman is willing to endure a second time."
