Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 512 - 475: Jun, Be More Assertive

Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow and looked at Jian Liangtong through the rearview mirror, his tone puzzled, "Isn’t it?"

Of course not!

Jian Liangtong rolled her eyes, "Meeting the parents, getting married, these are such important things, no girl likes to be kept in the dark. I really don’t know where you got these nonsensical ideas. Luckily, it’s me you’re dealing with. If it were another girl who never thought about marrying you, you’d easily get dumped, okay? And even if someone had considered marrying you before, your unilateral decision might scare them away. Male chauvinism!"

Huo Shaojun listened patiently, his lips always curled into a smile.

To Huo Shaojun, all that Jian Liangtong said boiled down to one thing: she loves him deeply, so much so that even if what he did made her extremely unhappy, she still couldn’t bear to go against him and make him uncomfortable.

Seeing him just smile without saying anything, Jian Liangtong pouted, grumbling, "Laugh, laugh, all you know is to laugh!"

"Heh..."

Jian Liangtong’s childish voice instead made Huo Shaojun laugh out loud.

Jian Liangtong stared at his handsome face, which had a tinge of blush from laughter, and sighed silently.

Laugh if you want, who can blame you when you look so good.

At 6:40, the car drove into a luxurious villa with a palace style.

Jian Liangtong’s heart suddenly jumped, her fair and tender little hands nervously pinching her thighs, her small mouth opening to exhale continuously.

The car stopped in front of the villa entrance.

Jian Liangtong’s heart had already leapt to her throat.

One of her hands was wrapped in a warm and broad palm.

Jian Liangtong took a sharp breath, her eyelashes trembling as she turned to look at Huo Shaojun beside her, her voice tinged with a slight tremor, "Are we here?"

"Yes. We’re here." Huo Shaojun rubbed Jian Liangtong’s hand, which had grown cold and stiff from nervousness, looking at her with gentle eyes.

"Little brother, do I look okay dressed like this?" Jian Liangtong nervously tugged at the violet dress under her coat, asking Huo Shaojun.

Knowing Jian Liangtong was nervous, Huo Shaojun didn’t brush her off. He seriously looked her over before focusing on her anxious eyes and said, "Very good."

"Really?" Jian Liangtong frowned, unconvinced, "I should have worn trousers. And my coat, does it make me look childish and immature?"

Jian Liangtong’s coat was light purple with printed designs, very cute, matching her age’s fashion sense.

Huo Shaojun patiently smiled, "No, it doesn’t."

Jian Liangtong inhaled, likely overwrought with nerves. She looked up at Huo Shaojun pitifully, "Little brother, maybe we should meet another day? When I’m ready, okay?"

Meeting the parents for the first time, having never experienced it, one truly doesn’t know how nerve-wracking it is.

Huo Shaojun sighed, reaching out to gently pat Jian Liangtong’s head, his voice soft, "It’s too late for that now."

"..." Jian Liangtong was bewildered, and before she could speak, a middle-aged woman’s voice suddenly came from one side.

"Young master."

Jian Liangtong’s back stiffened, her almond eyes widening as she looked at Huo Shaojun.

Huo Shaojun pinched her cheek, soothingly saying, "I’m here for everything."

"You have to help me," Jian Liangtong said with a sob in her voice.

Huo Shaojun watched Jian Liangtong, who looked at him as if he were a lifeline, with a silent, wry smile, "Silly girl, who else would I help if not you?"

Though Huo Shaojun said this, what happened afterward still left Jian Liangtong "etched in her memory."

Huo Shaojun led Jian Liangtong out of the car and looked at the middle-aged woman standing at the door, saying, "Nanny Xu."

"Yes." Nanny Xu, with a simple and honest appearance, dressed appropriately, looked very unpretentious, and her eyes held a light joy as she looked at Huo Shaojun, "Sir and Madam have been waiting for you both for a long time, quickly go in."

Huo Shaojun squinted slightly, "Okay."

As they passed in front of Nanny Xu, Jian Liangtong noticed her gaze sweeping over them. She bit her lip and nodded gently at her.

Nanny Xu also gave her a kind smile.

However, hidden in her eyes was a barely noticeable sympathy.

Entering the villa, Jian Liangtong felt an unusual pressure.

Her left heart paused for two seconds, and Jian Liangtong moved closer to Huo Shaojun for reassurance.

Huo Shaojun perceived it and held Jian Liangtong’s hand more tightly, leading her toward the living room.

As they stepped into the living room, a sharp gaze suddenly slashed toward her.

Jian Liangtong’s breath stopped, she tightly pressed her lips, and looked in the direction of the gaze.

The woman was dressed in a black business suit, matching trousers, her hair meticulously coiled at the back of her head, with black-frame glasses perched on the bridge of her nose, making her look somewhat rigid.

But the gaze reflected through those black-frame glasses was exceptionally sharp and cold, with a deep hostility and disdain.

Jian Liangtong clenched her hand tightly, avoided the gaze, but then met the penetrating gaze of a man.

The man wore a dark blue cardigan with casual pants, giving a more homely and gentle image.

Yet judging by the sharpness in his eyes, he seemed not easily fooled.

Only these two people were in the living room.

So Jian Liangtong had an idea that these must be Huo Shaojun’s parents.

But from the looks on these two people’s faces, it was clear they did not welcome her.

Jian Liangtong’s heart instantly sank to the bottom, feeling only coldness.

"Mom and Dad," Huo Shaojun called out.

As soon as Jian Liangtong heard Huo Shaojun call out, her eyelashes trembled, and she silently lowered her head.

At this moment, she had a feeling that the night would not go smoothly.

"Shaojun, aren’t you going to introduce?" Fang Jingting looked at Huo Shaojun with some amusement in her eyes, and her tone was still relatively gentle.

Huo Shaojun looked at Jian Liangtong, his gaze soft, "Tongtong, greet them."

"..." Fang Jingting immediately furrowed her brows, looking coldly at Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong lifted her eyes and glanced separately at Huo Xingli and Fang Jingting, politely saying, "Uncle, Aunt."

Huo Xingli gave an ambiguous nod, while Fang Jingting directly showed no reaction.

Jian Liangtong felt uneasy, with no part of her body feeling at ease.

Huo Shaojun lowered his brows and slowly looked at Fang Jingting.

Receiving Huo Shaojun’s gaze, Fang Jingting frowned and finally spoke to Jian Liangtong, "What is your name?"

Her tone was perfunctory, as if she didn’t really want to ask.

Jian Liangtong took a breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and looked openly at Fang Jingting, "My name is Jian Liangtong, the Jian as in simple..."

"Are you sure it’s the simple Jian?" Fang Jingting suddenly questioned.

"..."

Jian Liangtong paused, her bright eyes staring at Fang Jingting, "Yes."

Fang Jingting sneered, "Have a seat then."

Jian Liangtong wanted to leave! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Huo Shaojun’s face also looked unpleasant, as his fingers forcefully clasped Jian Liangtong’s slender fingers, his tone slightly cold, "Mom, I brought Tongtong back today because you asked me to. If you’re not welcoming, I’ll take her away now."

"Shaojun, is that how you talk to your mother?"

Huo Xingli, who had not spoken until now, frowned and sternly stared at Huo Shaojun.

Huo Shaojun tightly pressed his lips, glancing at Huo Xingli, but said nothing.

Fang Jingting looked at Huo Shaojun aggrieved, "I didn’t do anything, why are you upset?"

Huo Shaojun furrowed his brows, about to speak when he felt the outer layer of his coat being tugged down.

Huo Shaojun’s gaze flickered gently, looking down at Jian Liangtong who had her head lowered, just in time to see her retracting hand.

His cold eyes shifted slightly, and Huo Shaojun chose to say no more.

Fang Jingting saw that Huo Shaojun no longer contradicted her and said things that upset her. Feeling somewhat improved, she looked at Jian Liangtong again without the prior disdain. Her tone was not warm, but thankfully not as cold, "Have a seat."

Jian Liangtong looked up briefly at Fang Jingting, then slowly turned to look at Huo Shaojun beside her.

Huo Shaojun then guided her to sit on the edge of the sofa.

"Miss Jian, I heard from Shaojun that you are currently his assistant?"

Jian Liangtong had just sat down when she heard Fang Jingting ask.

Jian Liangtong sat up straight, her clear and clean bright eyes looking at Fang Jingting, "Yes."

Fang Jingting stared at her for a while, then suddenly sighed, "No wonder."

Jian Liangtong pressed her lips together.

"Shaojun has a solitary nature and is a bit of a germaphobe. Though he’s worked with many actresses, once each film wraps, there’s hardly any contact. Of course, Shaojun is so outstanding, he’s not lacking actresses reaching out to him. But they can’t handle his taciturn nature, they give up soon. Now you’re his assistant, taking care of him closely. Maybe your temperament is not bad, more tolerant than the average woman, so staying by Shaojun’s side for long, he naturally thinks you’re different from those women, hence he sees you differently." Fang Jingting presumptuously said.

Now you’re his assistant, taking care of him closely. Maybe your temperament is not bad, more tolerant than the average woman, so staying by Shaojun’s side for long, he naturally thinks you’re different from those women, hence he sees you differently." Fang Jingting presumptuously said.

Huo Xingli listened to Fang Jingting’s words, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Jian Liangtong.

He initially expected to see embarrassment or anger on Jian Liangtong’s face, but unexpectedly, Jian Liangtong remained calm and composed, with not a trace of indignation or silently suppressed rage.

Huo Xingli’s eyes flickered lightly, a bit surprised.

"Aunt, your son is excellent, it’s only natural for girls to like him.

But I don’t think your son ignores the girls who like him because of his solitary nature, causing them to leave. It’s because he doesn’t like them. Since your son doesn’t like them, that’s why they leave.

I’m different from them. I truly like your son, and I can feel that your son also likes me, no, he loves me, which is why we are together."

Jian Liangtong spoke with dignity and composure, looking at Huo Shaojun beside her who had been silently gazing at her, her voice gentle yet firm, "Moreover, in the days to come, we will always be together, never to part."

Fang Jingting sneered, "Miss Jian, your words are indeed moving, but between the lines, they sound naive.

Miss Jian is still young and is an only child in her family. I assume she has been living in an ivory tower since birth and has not yet stepped out.

Therefore, Miss Jian doesn’t know that in the real world, it takes more than just liking each other to be together."

"Aunt, you are right. Simply liking each other is not enough.
