Chapter 468: Chapter 439: Jun, You Liangsheng: Take Responsibility for My Work 4

Jian Liangtong’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Early the next morning, Jian Liangtong drove back to the countryside with Jian Ningfeng and He Xinyun, arriving at their grandmother’s house by nine at night.

Upon seeing Jian Liangtong, Grandma Wang Zhen held onto her hand tightly, reluctant to let go. Even though they had just arrived, her gaze on Jian Liangtong was full of reluctance.

Uncle He Wei and Aunt Li Jieying were busy in the kitchen preparing a late-night snack for everyone.

Jian Liangtong and the others stayed in the living room with Wang Zhen.

"Tongtong, you haven’t visited Grandma for almost a year, have you?" Wang Zhen held Jian Liangtong’s hand, looking at her lovingly.

After sitting in the car all day, there was a hint of fatigue in Jian Liangtong’s eyes, but facing Wang Zhen, she didn’t show it, "Grandma missed me?"

Wang Zhen smiled kindly, patting Jian Liangtong’s hand, "You young people are busy, it’s hard to tend to us old folks."

"No way, Grandma is always in Tongtong’s heart," Jian Liangtong sweetly said.

"Look at your daughter, how sweet-talking she is," Wang Zhen chuckled, looking at He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng.

He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng also looked at Jian Liangtong with doting expressions.

"By the way," Wang Zhen suddenly tightened her grip on Jian Liangtong’s hand, her expression anxious, her brows knit as she urgently asked, "Where’s Hao Hao? Tongtong, why didn’t you bring Hao Hao for Grandma?"

Hao Hao?

Jian Liangtong’s eyes widened in confusion, "Who is Hao Hao?"

"Oh dear, girl, who is Hao Hao? Isn’t Hao Hao your son..."

"Mom." He Xinyun stood up, walked over to sit beside Wang Zhen, pulled Wang Zhen’s hand off Jian Liangtong’s to face herself.

Suspiciously staring at Wang Zhen, "Mom, are you okay?"

Regarding Hao Hao, Wang Zhen was aware.

What happened tonight? Why suddenly bring up Hao Hao in front of Jian Liangtong?

Wang Zhen was taken aback, nervously pursing her lips as she looked at He Xinyun, "What’s the matter? I miss Hao Hao, I want to see Hao Hao."

Mentioning Hao Hao, how could He Xinyun not feel the pain in her heart, how could she not miss Hao Hao...

He Xinyun’s eyes grew slightly red, grasping Wang Zhen’s hand tightly, "Mom, I need to talk to you alone, let’s go to your room to talk."

"What is it?" Wang Zhen was baffled.

"Let’s go in first," He Xinyun said.

Wang Zhen frowned, glancing at Jian Liangtong, before being pulled up by He Xinyun, and led into her room.

The sound of the door closing reached her ears, and Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, suspiciously staring at Jian Ningfeng, "Dad, who is Hao Hao?"

"..." Jian Ningfeng’s back tensed, his hands resting casually on his knees suddenly gripped tightly, his eyes flickered without meeting Jian Liangtong’s puzzled gaze as he muttered, "I, I don’t know either, who is Hao Hao."

Jian Ningfeng took a deep breath, standing up from the sofa, "I’ll go check in the kitchen, see if your uncle and aunt need help."

Saying that, Jian Ningfeng walked swiftly to the kitchen without looking back.

Jian Liangtong sat blankly on the sofa, intuitively feeling that Jian Ningfeng knew who Hao Hao was, but for some unknown reason, didn’t want to tell her, so he used the excuse of not knowing to brush her off.

"How can you all be like this? Hao Hao, Hao Hao is..."

"Mom, mom, calm down, calm down. We too had no choice, we too had no choice."

"No choice, no choice! What you did was irresponsible! Poor Hao Hao, my poor Hao Hao, sob sob..."

"Mom, don’t cry, mom, mom..."

"Hao Hao, my Hao Hao..."

"..."

Suddenly, the sound of Wang Zhen and He Xinyun arguing, as well as Wang Zhen’s aged cries, came from the bedroom.

Jian Liangtong was instantly dumbfounded, turning to blankly stare at the direction of the bedroom door.

That night, Wang Zhen didn’t come out of the room again.

When He Xinyun came out of the room, her eyes were swollen.

Jian Liangtong didn’t know what was wrong with her; seeing He Xinyun like that, she didn’t even ask.

After eating, Auntie led Liang Tong to the room to rest.

While bathing, Jian Liangtong realized her luggage was still in the living room, so she left the room to go to the living room to get it.

Just as she reached the living room, she heard Uncle He Wei say, "We didn’t tell you before because we were afraid you’d worry. Granny has had dementia for half a year now. Right now, she just doesn’t remember recent happenings, but in time, she’ll start forgetting things from long ago too, and even us, she might not recognize."

Jian Liangtong’s heart sank.

Wang Zhen, in her early eighties, was always healthy in her memory—unlike other elders who often complain of discomfort. She rarely even caught a cold.

But she developed dementia.

"...Brother, how could you not tell me about Mom having this disease? How do you expect me, how do you expect me to view you?"

He Xinyun’s hoarse voice arose.

Jian Liangtong pursed her lips and looked over, seeing He Xinyun cover her mouth, unable to stop the tears from falling.

"Sister, how could I tell you? Tongtong had just had an accident, you and your brother-in-law were exhausted from worry. Finally, things started looking up, and then to tell you that Mom had an issue, I couldn’t bear it," He Wei sighed.

He Xinyun heard this, turned her head to lean on Jian Ningfeng’s shoulder, and started to sob.

Jian Ningfeng frowned, gently patted her back, looked at He Wei, and said, "Brother, no matter what, you must inform us of such matters promptly."

He Wei felt uncomfortable seeing He Xinyun cry and nodded his head.

"Xinyun, don’t be too upset. As for Mom, everything is handled by your brother and me. The most important thing now is Tongtong’s situation," said Li Jieying.

"Tongtong..." He Xinyun lifted her head from Jian Ningfeng’s shoulder, her teary eyes blurred as she looked at Li Jieying, her voice hoarse but firm, "I’ve discussed it with Ningfeng, and we want Tongtong to leave the entertainment industry, to stop being an agent. Only by staying away from the industry can she avoid all trouble."

"What if Tongtong disagrees?" Li Jieying asked.

Tears fell from He Xinyun’s eyes as she shook her head, "No matter what, she’s my only daughter. If anything happens to her again, her father and I won’t be able to survive. If she doesn’t leave the entertainment industry, her father and I will follow her every day. She can be an agent, but we will be with her 24/7, absolutely, absolutely not giving her any chance to come into contact with that person."

Li Jieying heard this, pressed her lips together, and exchanged a look with He Wei.

He Wei frowned, looked at Jian Ningfeng, and then at He Xinyun, "And what about Hao Hao?"

"Hao Hao..." He Xinyun suddenly bit her lower lip, her tears falling like shattered beads, her voice choked with sobs, "Hao Hao, poor him, we’ve all let him down."

"Honey..." Jian Ningfeng held her tightly, full of pity.

He Xinyun cried breathlessly in Jian Ningfeng’s arms.

He Wei and Li Jieying, seeing this, both showed expressions of sympathy and did not continue the topic.

Jian Liangtong returned to her bedroom, and as she closed the door, she collapsed, sliding down against the door panel to sit on the floor.

Bending her legs, Jian Liangtong buried her head between her knees, her hands gently holding her head.

Her heart felt hollow, terrifying, so terrifying!

What had happened to her?

Why did He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng want her to leave the entertainment industry, and whom did they want her to stay away from? Huo Shaojun?

And, Hao Hao, who is Hao Hao?

All the confusion and doubts finally turned into one question.

What happened a year ago?

Why did she lose five years of memory? Did nothing happen in those blank five years, or did too much happen?

Jian Liangtong’s fingers ran through her hair, rubbing forcefully.

The face buried between her knees was so pale it was chilling, but her almond eyes were intensely bloodshot.

After a whole day of tiring travel, at night she should have been able to fall into a deep sleep as soon as she hit the bed, yet Jian Liangtong lay with eyes wide open until daylight.

At six thirty, Jian Liangtong left her bedroom and walked into the yard, seeing Li Jieying feeding the chickens outside the coop.

Jian Liangtong stared at Li Jingying’s back for a while before slowly walking over.

"Oh my..." The sudden presence of someone silently beside her startled Li Jingying, making her scream.

Jian Liangtong watched her clutching her chest, staring at her in shock, and her mouth curled slightly, "Aunt, your courage is so small,

"You brat!" Li Jieying, both amused and annoyed, gave her a gentle slap, "Walking without making a sound, still saying you didn’t scare me on purpose?"

Jian Liangtong stared at her with a silly grin for a moment, then suddenly said, "Aunt, can I borrow your phone?"

Yesterday morning, before leaving Z City, Jian Liangtong’s phone was confiscated by He Xinyun and hadn’t been returned to her since.

She was worried that someone might try to contact her and become anxious without reaching her.

Thinking of this, a trace of anxiety appeared in Jian Liangtong’s eyes, and she asked again, "Aunt, is it okay?"

Li Jieying turned her head back to feeding the chickens, "It’s fine, but first, you need to tell Aunt, why do you need the phone?"

"..." Of course, she needed it to contact someone.

Jian Liangtong closed her lips tightly and stared directly and steadily at Li Jieying without speaking.

But Li Jieying, feeling helpless under her gaze, turned her head to look at her, "Don’t look at Aunt like that, tell Aunt why you need the phone, and then Aunt will consider lending it to you."

Jian Liangtong puckered her lips, thought for a few seconds, and softly said, "To call my friend, I left in a hurry yesterday, forgot to say goodbye."

"Friend?" Li Jieying stared at her, "Male friend or female friend?"

"... Female." Jian Liangtong’s face stiffened a bit, her hands subconsciously starting to fidget.

Li Jieying, whether she noticed or not, raised an eyebrow, "Alright."

With that, Li Jieying pulled out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong’s face lit up with joy, reaching out to take it.

But Li Jieying retracted her hand at this moment.

"..." Jian Liangtong was dumbfounded, then looked at Li Jieying with a grievance, "Aunt..."

Li Jieying smiled sheepishly, "I’ll lend it to you, but you can’t go far, I need to watch you make the call."

Was this necessary?

Jian Liangtong was a bit speechless, but she didn’t show it, after all, she needed a favor from her Aunt.

What if her Aunt refused to lend it to her?

Jian Liangtong nodded with a bit of an "endure humiliation" demeanor, amusing Li Jieying.
