Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 395 - 375: She Came to See Great-Grandpa? (Part 2)
Hanhan squinted his eyes, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Uh..." Fang Jingyi was stunned, not expecting the question she threw out would come back to her!
This made Fang Jingyi glance a few more times at Hanhan.
Her gaze lingered on his fair and serious little face for a few seconds. Fang Jingyi furrowed her brows slightly, said nothing, and held her waist as she stood up from the doorstep, walking towards the main hall, leaving Xixi and Hanhan with a cold and noble back view.
Watching her walk in.
Xixi tugged at Hanhan’s sleeve, "Brother, do you know that auntie? Is she here to see great-grandpa?"
Hanhan withdrew his gaze, looking at Xixi’s forehead which still hadn’t faded from the red bump, with concerned big dark eyes. He pursed his lips and gently reminded, "In the future, you can’t just run headlong like today, otherwise you might bump into others, and they’ll say it’s because our mom and dad didn’t teach us well, understand?"
Xixi looked at Hanhan with her big blinking eyes in confusion, "Why would they say it’s mom and dad’s fault if I bump into someone?"
"Adults usually say that, I don’t know why either." Hanhan patted Xixi’s head, "Weren’t we going to see Little Yanzi? Let’s go."
Outside Rong Mansion, there is a big tree, and in the branches is a swallow’s nest.
This swallow’s nest was discovered by Li Li, thinking kids love these little animals, he told Xixi and Hanhan about it.
Of course, it was also to quickly make Xixi and Hanhan familiar with him!
In fact, Xixi and Hanhan really liked it, and would go out every now and then, stretching their little necks to look at the swallow’s nest from afar.
Rong Zhengfeng was sitting on the sofa in the main hall, humming a little tune and sipping tea leisurely, his face filled with comfort and enjoyment!
Fang Jingyi walked into the hall awkwardly, supporting her lower back, and saw Rong Zhengfeng like this!
Fang Jingyi couldn’t help but be stunned; ever since she married into the Rong Family, she had hardly seen Rong Zhengfeng like this!
How should I put it? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He now seemed like a happy old man, rather than always carrying an imposing demeanor that inspired awe as the patriarch!
At the moment, however, Rong Zhengfeng’s demeanor somewhat eased Fang Jingyi’s tense nerves.
Exhaling lightly, Fang Jingyi forced a smile, looking at Rong Zhengfeng, and cautiously called, "Dad."
Rong Zhengfeng, "Uh..."
His tiger-like eyes widened, instantly glaring at Fang Jingyi.
In a few seconds, the gentle and pleasant expression on his face vanished, replaced by a strong look of disdain, his voice gruff, "What are you doing here?"
Fang Jingyi’s heart instantly sank halfway, looking at Rong Zhengfeng with grievance, "Dad, I came to see you."
"Come on! When do you ever come without a reason? I’m old, I don’t care about your trivial matters, don’t bother me!" Rong Zhengfeng got up from the deck chair, supporting himself with a cane, ready to head to the door.
Pacing quickly, he was a bit worried about Xixi and Hanhan who had just run out!
Judging by the time, the two little ones should’ve come face to face with Fang Jingyi!
He wasn’t sure whether she had realized Xixi and Hanhan were Mo Chen’s children!
As soon as this thought popped up, Rong Zhengfeng shook his head at himself.
Fang Jingyi had always been convinced that the child Momo carried back then wasn’t Mo Chen’s, so even seeing Xixi and Hanhan, she surely wouldn’t think of Mo Chen!
However, it’s one thing if she didn’t see it in Xixi.
But Hanhan, who was clearly a spitting image of Mo Chen as a child, didn’t she, as Mo Chen’s biological mother, notice it at all?
In less than a minute, all sorts of possibilities and dialogues flooded uncontrollably into Rong Zhengfeng’s mind!
"Dad, do you have to be like this? Mo Chen doesn’t recognize me as his mother anymore, and now you don’t recognize me as your daughter-in-law?" Fang Jingyi’s voice carrying a suppressed sob came from behind.
Rong Zhengfeng’s steps toward the door paused slightly, he looked back at Fang Jingyi with irritation, "You know Mo Chen doesn’t recognize you, and if I were Mo Chen, I wouldn’t recognize you either!"
When Rong Zhengfeng said this, he seemed to be gritting his teeth a bit, with a sense of indignation on behalf of Rong Mochen!
"What did I do? Why doesn’t he recognize me? You used to say I didn’t care about him enough, now all my attention is on him, trying to save him..."
"Save?" Rong Zhengfeng sneered, "I think you should save yourself first!"
"Dad!" Fang Jingyi suddenly covered her mouth and started sobbing quietly.
Rong Zhengfeng’s robust face twitched slightly, looking at Fang Jingyi speechlessly, "You, why are you crying for no reason? People who don’t know might think I, as your father-in-law, hit you!"
"It’s not like you haven’t hit me before!" Fang Jingyi held back the grievance of being hit by Rong Zhengfeng with a cane for a long time, and now, hearing Rong Zhengfeng say this, she immediately retorted with a choked voice.
"Ugh..." Rong Zhengfeng’s face was a bit unsettled.
Saying that what she said at that time was unforgivable, but he was her father-in-law, not her real father, for him to take action and hit her would be unjustified and unreasonable!
Furrowing his eyebrows tightly, Rong Zhengfeng was about to say something, but caught a glimpse of the sneaky Li Li standing at the door, and his eyes instantly rolled to the ceiling, glaring at Li Li with irritation.
Li Li smiled sheepishly, turned, and went looking for Xixi and Hanhan.
Rong Zhengfeng pursed his lips and turned back to look at Fang Jingyi.
Seeing her still crying non-stop with her head bowed, he pressed his eyebrows and, though impatient, he walked back over.
Fang Jingyi saw this, wiped her tears with her hand, took two steps forward, and attentively held onto Rong Zhengfeng’s arm, speaking hoarsely, "Dad, I’ve been married into the Rong Family for over thirty years, and I believe I’ve never done anything to affect the family’s reputation and image. I can’t help much with the company, you don’t need me on your end, Si Nan still acknowledges me as his mother, but Mo Chen doesn’t recognize me as his mother at all in his eyes or heart."
Fang Jingyi said, wiping her tears again, her face full of sadness and grievance, she choked, "Dad, if Rong Jun was still alive, and he treated you with the same indifferent attitude that Mo Chen shows me, would you feel good about it in your heart?"
Rong Zhengfeng’s fierce eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he glanced sideways at Fang Jingyi.
He roughly understood that somebody today planned to play the tragic route to garner sympathy and recruit allies!
Thinking thus, Rong Zhengfeng didn’t respond to Fang Jingyi’s words, intentionally waiting to see what else she might have in store.
Fang Jingyi glanced silently at Rong Zhengfeng for dozens of seconds from the side, seeing that he had no intention of replying, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Fang Jingyi pretended to raise her hand to wipe her eye corner again, speaking hoarsely, "Dad, you say, as parents, what do you wish for your children? Their money or power? Neither.
As parents, all we wish for is our children to find a good place to settle down, so we as parents can be at ease when we pass after a hundred years."
Rong Zhengfeng still remained silent, sitting into the sofa.
Fang Jingyi stood by him for another two minutes, throughout which Rong Zhengfeng never acknowledged her.
Unwillingly biting her lower lip, Fang Jingyi walked to the sofa opposite Rong Zhengfeng to sit down, earnestly watching him, "Dad, won’t you say something?"
"Say what?" Rong Zhengfeng frowned, his fierce eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at her.
"Ugh..."
Fang Jingyi’s eyelid trembled, "Anything is fine, just... just don’t let me be the only one talking."
Rong Zhengfeng snorted softly, only after a while did he say, "Do you still not understand who caused the hostile relationship between you and Mo Chen, haven’t you reflected at all?"
Fang Jingyi slightly frowned, her eyes flashed quickly with displeasure but she covered it up so Rong Zhengfeng wouldn’t notice, softly spoke, "Then who do you think caused it?"
"Me to say it?"
Rong Zhengfeng glared at her, "I say the fundamental reason your relationship with Mo Chen turned so badly is because of you!"
Fang Jingyi’s lips trembled, like trying to retort, but no words came out.
Seeing this, Rong Zhengfeng’s anger surged, "Fang Jingyi, Mo Chen and Si Nan are both your flesh and blood, yet your attitudes toward these two brothers are like night and day, as if one is biological, the other adopted!
From childhood to adulthood, have you ever taken the initiative to care for Mo Chen once? Have you been there when he was sick? Attended one parent-teacher meeting for him? Made him a meal by your own hands?"
Fang Jingyi’s gaze flickered slightly, "...Mo Chen has stayed with you since he was young, hasn’t he had you?"
"Is this something someone should say? I’m merely Mo Chen’s grandfather, no matter how well I treat him, how considerate, it can’t replace a mother’s role!
You gave all your attention, care, and tenderness to Si Nan, but towards Mo Chen, you remain indifferent at best, at worst, overly critical and harsh. Not once did you ever praise him, did you? Yet you didn’t! What kind of mother do you think you are? Do you think you deserve to be Mo Chen’s mother?" Rong Zhengfeng shouted fiercely.
These words he had kept bottled up for so long!
Even he thought he had grown accustomed to Fang Jingyi’s apathetic yet overly harsh attitude towards Rong Mochen, thinking his emotions wouldn’t fluctuate too much with these accusations!
But truly voicing these words, the anger and bitterness felt were so intense and surging! So much so that Rong Zhengfeng’s chest heaved violently!
Even with his own feelings being so, what about the child who had been ignored and neglected by his own mother since childhood, the one who’s been hiding his carelessness all these years, what’s really inside that child?
Rong Zhengfeng’s heart ached deeply, the hands gripping the cane slightly trembled for failing to restrain his emotions.
Taking two deep breaths, Rong Zhengfeng continued, "Search your conscience, your keen interest in Mo Chen’s matter this time, is it truly out of concern for Mo Chen, truly thinking for him?
Or is it that you worry that if Mo Chen were to marry a woman like Momo from such a background into the Rong Family, it would bring ridicule, become a topic of conversation for those so-called noble friends of yours they’ll bring up in your face, tarnishing your dignity!
Or is it simply because you want to overpower Mo Chen, want to prove your absolute authority in the Rong Family? You just want Mo Chen to obediently listen to you!"
Rong Zhengfeng’s gem-like questioning, along with the penetratingly sharp eyes fixed on her, left Fang Jingyi’s heart quivering, her gaze unable to meet Rong Zhengfeng’s.
With parted lips, Fang Jingyi blinked rather nervously, her voice shook slightly due to panic and deliberate disguise, "Dad, how can you say that about me?"
