Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 521 - 484: Before the Finale of Jun and You—Is It Okay 2
Jian Liangtong opened her mouth wide, looking as if she had been struck by lightning, staring at Huo Shaojun.
Huo Shaojun, eyes hidden behind sunglasses, took a glance at her and calmly carried Jian Liangtong towards the car.
This action from Huo Shaojun led to continuous screams at the scene, with some girls in the crowd even fainting from excitement.
Jian Liangtong’s heart was pounding wildly, her face slightly turned towards Huo Shaojun’s chest, her small hands nervously clutching the lapels of his coat, with her earlobes turning pale.
Huo Shaojun paused his steps slightly, noticing Jian Liangtong’s discomfort, his cold eyes narrowing as he quickened his pace towards the car.
The car drove far away from G University, with several cars still trailing behind.
Guan Yu frowned tightly, glancing at the cars following them through the rearview mirror, and asked Huo Shaojun, "Brother Huo, what should we do now?"
Huo Shaojun’s face was tense; after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Phone."
Guan Yu hurriedly handed the phone to Huo Shaojun.
Huo Shaojun held the phone and dialed a number, "Yicheng, do me a favor."
Not even ten minutes after Huo Shaojun ended the call, Guan Yu noticed that the cars trailing behind had disappeared without a trace.
Guan Yu took a gentle breath, admiringly glancing at Huo Shaojun through the rearview mirror.
"That was terrifying." Jian Liangtong exclaimed.
Having heard Jian Liangtong speak, Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes flickered with a hint of surprise as he looked down at her.
Jian Liangtong raised her chin, her clear, moist eyes gazing at Huo Shaojun, "I was talking about your fans."
"... I thought you were used to it by now," Huo Shaojun said.
Jian Liangtong nodded, "I’ve indeed seen a lot of such scenes since becoming your assistant, but every time it still feels breathtaking."
Huo Shaojun smiled, reaching out to tousle her hair, "What are you afraid of, I’m here."
Jian Liangtong smiled, said nothing more, and looked down at the Big White in her hands.
Huo Shaojun also noticed.
Ever since she came out of the school, she had been holding onto this.
His cold eyes flickered lightly, and Huo Shaojun asked softly, "Do you like Big White?"
"Yes." Jian Liangtong nodded, looked up, and explained seriously to Huo Shaojun, "When the movie just came out, I went to see it with Ju Zi. Ju Zi said she was my Big White, and I was her little Hong. So later she bought these two small figurines, hers is Big White, and mine is little Hong... She also said she would always be there for me."
"..."
Jian Liangtong finished speaking with a smile, but her eyes were brimming with tears.
Huo Shaojun stared at her for a moment, then opened his arms to her, "Come here."
"What for?" Jian Liangtong sniffled, smiling.
"I just want to hug you," Huo Shaojun said.
Jian Liangtong sniffled, glancing at Guan Yu in the driver’s seat.
Guan Yu seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything from the two in the back seat, his ears impervious to anything outside the window, staring straight ahead with no reaction.
So, Jian Liangtong slowly slid into Huo Shaojun’s embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist, her face pressed tightly against his chest.
Huo Shaojun wrapped an arm around her waist, the other gently stroking her long hair now and then, soothing her as if she were a child, tenderly comforting her.
Slowly, Jian Liangtong closed her eyes in his arms and eventually fell asleep.
Perhaps due to the news of Huo Shaojun embracing Jian Liangtong on the G University campus, the next day, Fang Jingting and Fang Duo arrived at Huo Shaojun’s villa.
Upon seeing Fang Duo again, Jian Liangtong seemed much more composed than the previous time.
However, Fang Duo showed even more displeasure upon seeing Jian Liangtong than before.
There was no need to even mention Fang Jingting.
Her dislike for Jian Liangtong was so strong that she didn’t even bother to disguise it, always letting it show clearly.
"Shao Yun, you’re already twenty-seven, yet you’re still acting as if you’re seventeen or eighteen, doing things without considering the weight!" Fang Duo’s tone was ordinary, but his words carried a reprimanding undertone.
"It’s rare for Grandfather to visit me here; what would you like for lunch? Your grandson will personally cook for you," Huo Shaojun said.
"..." Fang Duo’s gray eyebrows twitched twice, his aged face immediately sinking, "Not an ounce of manliness! A man over six feet tall going into the kitchen, isn’t it a joke?"
Jian Liangtong, "..." What kind of twisted logic is this?
"Shao Yun, why do you still cook for yourself?" Fang Jingting looked at Huo Shaojun with a face full of pity.
Jian Liangtong could only sigh at the fortunes of the wealthy! Even cooking for oneself can evoke sympathy!
Huo Shaojun slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Fang Jingting, he said, "Tongtong can’t cook, one of us has to have some skills."
Because of what he said, Jian Liangtong’s cool heart instantly filled with warmth.
She had thought he liked cooking, but didn’t expect this to be the reason.
Upon hearing Huo Shaojun’s words, Fang Duo and Fang Jingting’s expressions both turned very sour.
Fang Duo and Fang Jingting heard Huo Shaojun’s words, their faces turned ugly, staring at Huo Shaojun, not speaking for quite a while.
"Shaojun, what you said really makes mom very sad." Fang Jingting looked at Huo Shaojun with red eyes, "You are mom’s hard work of ten months of pregnancy, how could you disgrace yourself for a woman like this? You make mom’s heart so upset!"
"Mom, you don’t need to feel upset because this is what I am willing to do myself." Huo Shaojun said.
"You are willing, I am not willing!"
Why? Her beloved son whom she raised is going to be belittled by such a woman!
Cooking?
Are those hands of his meant for cooking?
The more Fang Jingting thought about it, the more she couldn’t accept it! The more she thought, the angrier she became!
Suddenly, she widened her eyes and glared angrily at Jian Liangtong, gritting her teeth, "Miss Jian, you must feel a great sense of achievement now, right?"
Jian Liangtong slightly pursed her lips and looked at Fang Jingting sincerely, "Auntie, compared to a sense of achievement, I think another word fits better, happiness."
"Happiness?"
Fang Jingting gnashed her teeth, "You are happy, but I don’t feel my son is happy! How shameless of you to make my son cook for you!"
"Mom." Huo Shaojun’s voice was slightly deep, "I said, it’s what I am willing to do."
"Shaojun!"
Fang Jingting couldn’t take it anymore, clenching her fist and lowing her roar, "Being with such a woman, mom feels you’re not yourself anymore! Mom doesn’t think being with her is the best choice, mom disagrees, disagrees!"
"I am very clear about what I want. Perhaps Tongtong isn’t the best and most excellent woman in the world, but she is the only one I, Huo Shaojun, love dearly."
Huo Shaojun stared at Fang Jingting’s fiercely twitching face, gripping Jian Liangtong’s equally clenched hand tight, "Mom, as I said before, it would be wonderful if you could accept Tongtong as your daughter-in-law, but if you can’t accept her, I won’t force you, but asking me to give up on Tongtong is absolutely impossible!"
"You are confused!" Fang Duo suddenly pointed at Huo Shaojun and shouted.
Huo Shaojun squinted his eyes, looking at Fang Duo, "Grandfather, since I was a child, I grew up beside you, and I thought you were the one who understood me the most. Once I decide to do something, no one can stop me!"
"You are just stubborn! What kind of enchantment has this little girl given you that you can’t do without her?" Fang Duo shouted.
"Not everything in the world has a reason. Grandfather, I am sure I love her, and I am determined to marry her in this life!" Huo Shaojun’s tone was firm, as if even if the whole world opposed him, he would still be with her with courage and determination.
Fang Duo and Fang Jingting’s faces were ashen with anger, especially Fang Jingting, who had turned away and started to cry.
It seemed that Huo Shaojun’s determination to be with Jian Liangtong was something that caused her extreme sorrow!
No matter how prepared Jian Liangtong was beforehand, she couldn’t help feeling a bit down at this point.
How she wished that her union with Huo Shaojun could be supported and recognized by everyone, especially the blessings of both their parents and all their friends.
Unfortunately...
Jian Liangtong lowered her eyelashes, a tinge of desolation adding to her expression.
Fang Duo gasped heavily, suddenly sprang up from the sofa, glaring at Huo Shaojun, "Even if it means breaking ties with me and the Huo Family, must you marry her?"
Jian Liangtong’s heart tightened suddenly, frowning, she looked up at Huo Shaojun.
Fang Jingting slightly ceased crying at this time, looking at Huo Shaojun with a mix of sadness and hope.
Huo Shaojun held Jian Liangtong’s hand tightly, his deep voice slightly hoarse, "Grandfather, must you force your grandson this way?"
"It’s not me forcing you, it’s your stubbornness!" Fang Duo said.
Huo Shaojun’s pupils constricted, staring at Fang Duo, "If I can’t satisfy both, then I would just have to be unfilial."
"..."
Fang Duo was greatly shocked, collapsing back onto the sofa, staring at Huo Shaojun in disbelief. After a long while, he shook his head with a mournful expression, "Fine, fine!"
"Dad..." Fang Jingting nervously held onto Fang Duo’s arm, just calling out to him before she collapsed into tears, unable to utter another word.
Fang Duo’s chest heaved violently, glaring at Huo Shaojun with bloodshot eyes, "I’ve taught you from a young age, filial piety is the first among all virtues! But now, you’ve even disregarded the most basic filial duty for a woman! I am so disappointed in you, so disappointed!"
Fang Duo said "disappointed" twice, indicating how genuinely disappointed he was with Huo Shaojun’s choice; perhaps, there was also some sorrow and sadness.
After all, Huo Shaojun was someone he personally taught and raised!
The effort he put into Huo Shaojun was no less than that in Fang Jingting and Fang Jingyi.
But now he was easily giving up on them, whom he had devoted all his efforts to, because of a woman!
Fang Duo, extremely angry, couldn’t stay there any longer, stood up from the sofa, and left the villa with a load of anger.
Fang Jingting gave a grieving glance at Huo Shaojun, covered her mouth crying, and chased after Fang Duo, leaving as well.
Huo Shaojun squeezed Jian Liangtong’s fingers so tightly it hurt, but Jian Liangtong forced herself to endure it.
Glancing at his tense and restrained profile, Jian Liangtong wanted to say something, but upon opening her mouth, she realized she didn’t know what to say.
What could she say? After all, she was the root cause of their disharmony!
Maybe she could tell him that their family’s disapproval of their being together was because they didn’t think she was outstanding, and if she worked hard to become excellent, maybe they wouldn’t oppose them so much anymore.
