Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 390 - 370: The Moment the Image Unfolded Before My Eyes
"I’ll take a taxi and go back." Jin Jumo reached out to smooth the wrinkles on Jian Liangtong’s shirt and said.
"Then I’ll accompany you to get a taxi. After I see you off, I’ll come back here." Jian Liangtong replied.
Jin Jumo couldn’t help but laugh, "You don’t find that troublesome?"
"You’re the most important now. I must exert some humanitarian spirit to specially take care of you," Jian Liangtong said while standing by the roadside trying to hail a cab.
Unable to refuse, Jin Jumo pulled her hand back, "Forget it. I really don’t feel comfortable with you coming back alone. Let’s do this, you don’t feel at ease about me, I don’t feel at ease about you. Let’s find a place to sit for a while, I’ll call Rong Mochen to pick me up, okay?"
Before leaving the villa, someone had mentioned they’d come to pick her up when she returned. Not wanting to bother him too much, Jin Jumo didn’t call him.
For Jian Liangtong, if it was four years ago, she’d let her send her off, but now it’s not possible.
Jian Liangtong wanted to say something but seeing the persistence on Jin Jumo’s face, she had to give up.
The two strolled along the street outside the neighborhood to a rather stylish coffee shop, choosing a seat by the window, Jin Jumo called Rong Mochen, while Jian Liangtong called the waiter to order two glasses of freshly squeezed juice.
After ordering juice, Jian Liangtong saw Jin Jumo holding her phone, softly speaking to the person on the other end, her almond-shaped eyes glowing, face radiant with happiness, she couldn’t help but slightly curl her lips.
Jin Jumo hung up the phone and lifted her gaze, seeing Jian Liangtong across from her staring intently, smiling at her with a hint of ambiguity.
Her ears slightly reddened, Jin Jumo tried to appear calm, placing the phone beside her, and was about to say something when she saw Jian Liangtong’s expression suddenly change, her bright apricot eyes stiffening, staring fixedly at a direction behind her, the color draining from her face bit by bit.
Jin Jumo felt her heart sink, without turning to look, she hurriedly reached out to hold Jian Liangtong’s hand resting on the table, "Liangtong."
Jian Liangtong woodenly gazed at Jin Jumo, her lips stiffly moving a bit, "I..."
"What a coincidence." A lightly teasing yet charming male voice drifted from behind Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s brows immediately furrowed, eyes nervously fixed on Jian Liangtong’s bloodless face and the hand in her palm trembling more noticeably.
A slender man appeared at the table, Jin Jumo pressed her lips tightly, looked up, and when her gaze met the man’s roguish handsome face, she shrank internally, "Second Young Master Huo."
Huo Chengjin’s narrow, profound eyes shifted from Jian Liangtong to Jin Jumo’s face, his lips curled wickedly, "Sis-in-law, what a coincidence."
Jin Jumo glanced at Jian Liangtong’s tense face, her breathing also deepening, looking at Huo Chengjin’s almond-shaped eyes, and calmly said, "Why is Second Young Master Huo here? Came with friends?"
Huo Chengjin naturally sat beside Jian Liangtong, propped his head with a raised hand, stared directly at Jian Liangtong sitting on his interior side, and said indifferently, "I was walking alone and somehow ended up here. Tongtong, are you nervous?"
As Huo Chengjin spoke, his tone turned, looking at Jian Liangtong with a smile, saying.
Jian Liangtong tightened her breath, her body continuously sliding to one side of the seat, her lips pale, apricot eyes trembling with unease, "Juzi, I—I should go home, could you—could you take me?"
"Okay." Jin Jumo quickly stood up.
"I just arrived, and you’re leaving? It’s not good, right? It’ll make me feel disliked, and I don’t like being unwelcome," Huo Chengjin still carried a smile at the corner of his lips, his almond eyes brimming with laughter, staring at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes trembled swiftly, her voice very light, yet it seemed to have drained all her strength, "You misunderstood, I just happened to want to go home."
"You’re finally willing to talk to me?"
Huo Chengjin smiled, his expression soft, like a little boy receiving a long-awaited gift, his eyes sparkling, akin to shining stars within them.
Jian Liangtong frowned tightly, her face turned as pale as if coated with layers of thick foundation, her apricot eyes trembling glancing at Huo Chengjin, "What do you want?"
Huo Chengjin shook his head with a smile, "I don’t want anything, just talk to me, don’t ignore me."
Jian Liangtong weakly nodded, the sweat in her palm about to seep through her fingertips in heavy drops, "I understand, next time I see Second Young Master Huo, I’ll greet you. Will that suffice?"
Huo Chengjin looked intently at her, the smile on his face and in his eyes vanished in an instant, leaving him cold, "Not just greeting, you have to smile at me. Don’t avoid me, don’t fear me, don’t show such expression now, don’t—"
"Huo Chengjin!" Seeing Jian Liangtong’s body shaking uncontrollably, Jin Jumo raised her voice slightly, sternly interrupting Huo Chengjin’s words.
A flash of crimson passed in Huo Chengjin’s eyes, he tightly pressed his lips, gazing at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo noticed the angry flow in Huo Chengjin’s eyes, her almond eyes flickered, then looked at Liangtong, "Let’s go."
Jian Liangtong nodded hurriedly, her movement getting up was somewhat rushed, but looking at Huo Chengjin blocking beside her, the dismay on Jian Liangtong’s face became apparent.
With a tight chest, Jin Jumo spoke to Huo Chengjin, "Second Young Master Huo, trying to gain a girl’s attention, being overbearing or aggressive won’t work, and would only backfire!
Life is life, not an idol drama, don’t assume every girl likes domineering CEOs! Especially when the other party clearly shows unwillingness and you still cling relentlessly!"
The red in Huo Chengjin’s eyes deepened, staring at Jin Jumo with pursed lips, "But I see Sis-in-law quite likes my brother."
"Rong Mochen is domineering, but that doesn’t mean he disregards my feelings, doesn’t care about my requests, and certainly won’t do something when I really dislike it..."
Jin Jumo looked at Huo Chengjin, "Especially, he won’t keep crossing my boundaries!"
Huo Chengjin’s bloodshot eyes suddenly cracked with a streak of red, and his voice came out hoarse, filled with ruthlessness and obstinacy, "Do you want to try ignoring my brother when you see him? Avoid him like the plague, see him go mad, see if he damn well still cares about your boundaries and feelings!"
The last sentence, Huo Chengjin almost shouted it out!
It was as if, at that moment, the emotions he had been bottling up finally erupted.
The people in the café, due to the commotion, all looked over at once, and the three instantly became the focal point of the café.
Jin Jumo looked at him with furrowed brows, seeing him resembling a lone wolf showing a fierce expression.
After a while, Jin Jumo took a deep breath, her tone returning to calmness, "You find being ignored unbearable, that’s because you haven’t experienced something more unbearable than being ignored."
Huo Chengjin’s brow twitched slightly as he stared intently at Jin Jumo, saying in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
But before Jin Jumo could speak again, the phone on the table buzzed.
Thinking it was someone, Jin Jumo slightly adjusted her mood and looked down at the phone, yet was surprised to see an anonymously sent dynamic image.
Jin Jumo’s eyes flashed with confusion, picked up the phone, her thumb paused slightly on the image before pressing it.
"Ah..."
The moment the image unfolded in front of her, Jin Jumo suddenly screamed in panic, losing control and throwing the phone away at the same time, as if desperately trying to shake off a phone harboring a sinister, terrifying ghost!
Huo Chengjin and Jian Liangtong were stunned, looking at Jin Jumo in utter bewilderment, completely frozen by the shock.
"Ah...ugh..."
Throwing the phone wasn’t enough, Jin Jumo’s hands flailed in the air in terror, as if trying to ward off something horrifying.
But immediately, her waist suddenly sank, pain appeared in her Taohua eyes, and one hand went to hold her abdomen.
The pain that surged from her lower belly almost made Jin Jumo faint on the spot!
The restaurant fell into dead silence, but everyone watched Jin Jumo in shock and alarm.
Jian Liangtong only snapped out of her stupor when she saw Jin Jumo clutching her stomach in pain, with a pale face, she forcefully pushed aside Huo Chengjin in front of her and rushed toward Jin Jumo.
But someone was faster than her.
Rong Mochen took a few rapid steps forward, grabbed Jin Jumo’s arm with one hand, lifted her horizontally in his arms, and turned to walk out of the café.
Huo Chengjin and Jian Liangtong’s eyes narrowed rapidly, it was really because that person’s face was so unsightly and tense, with veins at his temples and neck horrifyingly bulging, and the muscles in his arms beneath the expensive suit were bulging like little mountains.
Huo Chengjin furrowed his brow, walked a few steps to pick up the phone Jin Jumo had thrown on the ground, and dragged the dazed Jian Liangtong out of the café.
Linx Hospital was relatively close to the café, and Rong Mochen quickly brought Jin Jumo to Linx Hospital.
Watching Jin Jumo lying on a white single bed, drenched in sweat and her face twisted in pain as she was pushed into the emergency room, Rong Mochen stood with clenched fists outside the operating room, his back heavy as if he had aged decades in an instant.
Huo Chengjin and Jian Liangtong stood behind Rong Mochen, not daring to approach recklessly.
Jian Liangtong’s thin body trembled violently, her hands covering her face, leaning weakly against the white wall, eyes red as blood watching the direction of the emergency room.
Huo Chengjin glanced at Jian Liangtong, his long eyes flashed with worry, and he walked to her side, his voice slightly hoarse, "It’s going to be okay, sister-in-law has good fortune."
Hearing his voice, Jian Liangtong’s long, drooping eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly turned her gaze to him, "What’s in the phone?"
Huo Chengjin shook his head, took out the phone from his pocket, and handed it to Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong looked at the phone clasped between his long fingers, took a light breath, and reached out to grab it.
But just then, Huo Chengjin suddenly withdrew his hand.
Jian Liangtong was slightly startled, frowning as she looked at him.
"I’ll check first," said Huo Chengjin, frowning.
"Uh..."
Jian Liangtong’s almond-shaped eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips without insisting.
Huo Chengjin unlocked the phone, only to find Jin Jumo had set a startup password. He bit his lip, looking at Jian Liangtong, "What’s the password?"
