Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 532 - 492: Bamboo, Your Liangsheng Finale (Middle Part): Cold Gaze 2
Jian Liangtong was completely unprepared, her whole being caught and spun around halfway.
Still dazed, she heard a woman’s voice filled with anger and inexplicable tension, "Why did you come back?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s pupils constricted, she focused her gaze and could finally see the woman’s face clearly.
In front of her was a petite woman, wearing a light blue suit, with a Korean-style bun.
The woman’s adorable face was filled with fury, her teeth grinding audibly as she glared at Jian Liangtong and demanded, "I’m asking you, why did you come back? Speak up!"
Jian Liangtong, "..."
Frowning, Jian Liangtong with a slightly somber expression brushed off the woman’s grip on her arm, her tone slightly cold, "Miss Song, please behave!"
"Jian Liangtong, I’ll give you a chance to explain right now, you’d better wisely tell me why you’ve come back this time. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Jian Liangtong looked at Song Yun amusedly, "If I don’t tell you, is Miss Song going to bite me?"
Bite her?
Was she mocking her like a dog?
Song Yun was trembling with anger, glaring at Jian Liangtong, "It doesn’t matter why you’ve come back this time, I’m warning you, leave Z City immediately or else..."
"Miss Song, do I look scared to you?" Jian Liangtong’s face fell, her almond eyes coldly fixed on Song Yun, "Where I go is my business, who is Miss Song to me that she can dictate where I can go?"
"You..."
"Miss Song, if you have time to talk to someone irrelevant like me about nonsense, you might as well go home and read more books." Jian Liangtong said.
Ridiculous!
She came here for a meal only to be inexplicably threatened!
"You’re sharp-tongued, I can’t out-talk you!"
"Why does Miss Song need to be so modest!"
"..." Song Yun’s face turned purple, clenching her fists and glaring at Jian Liangtong resentfully, as if she could barely restrain herself from pouncing on her.
Jian Liangtong pursed her lips, not wanting to engage in futile arguing, she attempted to sidestep her and leave.
"Wait!" Song Yun grabbed Jian Liangtong’s arm again.
Jian Liangtong frowned, turned her head to glare at Song Yun, her impatience evident, "Miss Song..."
"I’m with Shao Yun now." Song Yun said.
"So?" Jian Liangtong’s face was expressionless, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
Song Yun’s face stiffened, as she scrutinized Jian Liangtong for a while, seemingly unable to believe she had no reaction to this news!
She’s pretending, right?!
Song Yun squinted at her, suspiciously, "Shao Yun and I might soon discuss marriage."
"Is Miss Song telling me this so I can congratulate you?" Jian Liangtong sneered.
"..." Song Yun froze completely, staring at Jian Liangtong blankly. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
This was not the reaction she imagined.
Jian Liangtong truly did not want to linger a second longer, furrowing her brow, she shook off Song Yun’s hand and turned to leave.
But as soon as she turned, her gaze met a pair of cold, piercing eyes.
Jian Liangtong staggered violently, it felt as if the entire world froze around her.
She couldn’t hear anything, her eyes were flashing white, and the hard marble floor seemed to suddenly transform into floating clouds beneath her feet.
At this moment, Jian Liangtong felt nothing at all.
"Shao Yun?" Song Yun was startled to see Huo Shaojun appear at the restroom entrance.
Like someone eagerly seeking to assert her claim, she rushed to Huo Shaojun’s side, reaching out to cling tightly to his arm.
Tense, she looked at Huo Shaojun’s handsome, shadowy face, her voice trembled, "Why are you here?"
Huo Shaojun didn’t look at Song Yun, his dark eyes like a vast and boundless ocean, locked onto Jian Liangtong.
He was as handsome as ever, his stance still tall and erect as she remembered, appearing like a deity, where everything around him seemed insignificant.
Jian Liangtong clenched her palm, her beautiful face pale as a sheet of rice paper, gazing at Huo Shaojun’s almond eyes, all white, it seemed she was merely looking at an illusion.
Without hearing Huo Shaojun’s response, he didn’t even glance at Song Yun.
The most terrifying thing was, he was looking only at her!
Song Yun’s hands, grasping Huo Shaojun’s firm arm, quivered, her eyes reddened, pleading as she looked at Huo Shaojun, speaking with a sobbing tone, "Shao Yun, I’m hungry, let’s return to the private room and order something to eat, okay?"
Huo Shaojun still didn’t look at Song Yun, he coldly withdrew his arm, his voice chilling, "You go ahead first."
"I go ahead first?" Song Yun clenched her hands tightly, her face anxious, tears about to overflow from her eyes, "What about you?"
Huo Shaojun’s features were as cold as stone, without emotion, like a merciless statue.
"Shao Yun, can we go together? I don’t want to be alone." Song Yun said, pitifully.
Huo Shaojun didn’t say a word, his two strong legs strode firmly towards the restroom where Jian Liangtong was standing.
"Shao Yun!" Song Yun shouted, in panic, at Huo Shaojun’s retreating back.
Huo Shaojun’s face was expressionless, as if he didn’t even hear Song Yun’s voice teetering on the edge of losing control.
He walked up to Jian Liangtong, imposing his height advantage, his chilled gaze shadowing over her.
Jian Liangtong’s body was freezing, her bones felt stiff, as if moving would cause her joints to creak audibly.
Her long thick lashes seemed coated in frost, drooping heavily on her eyelids.
Her face was transparent white down to her neck, as if a snow demon born from crystal-clear snow.
He stood in front of her, making her unable to breathe.
Her chin was suddenly lifted by a finger cold as an icicle.
With every inch her neck was forcibly raised, the fragile sound of her neck bones could be heard.
Her eyes, dark and glossy like the finest black glass, reflected the man’s cold, handsome face.
Jian Liangtong’s heart, covered in a thick layer of ice, suddenly began to beat wildly.
"Who are you?" Huo Shaojun asked, his icy eyes fixed intently on her, his tone devoid of any emotion.
"..." Jian Liangtong’s wildly beating heart was suddenly and brutally thrown to the ground, shattering.
The pain from her heart fiercely transmitted to the central nervous system of her brain.
Gradually, her entire body began to ache.
Jian Liangtong took a trembling breath, under the pale skin of her face, her lips were shockingly red, "Maybe I’m just someone you don’t know."
"Don’t know?" Huo Shaojun slowly grabbed her chin, his imposing figure advancing step by step towards her, "Then why do you look so familiar to me?"
The familiar masculine scent from memory, like addictive nicotine from cigarettes, crazily invaded every sense of hers.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes, lowered in dismay, concealed a strong unease, her hands helplessly clenching tightly.
She lowered her head, not even having the courage to lift her eyes to him again, let alone answer him.
It seems some people exist as if they are destined to subdue you!
And such was Huo Shaojun to Jian Liangtong.
She could face anyone she once knew with confidence, pay them back in kind, her tongue sharp.
But if it was him.
She was like a fish stripped of its scales, willing or unwilling, all within his grasp, unable to escape.
"Look at me!" Huo Shaojun said lowly, his tone without a hint of threat, yet compelling enough to demand attention.
Song Yun stood a short distance behind Huo Shaojun, her eyes blood-red, her hatred nearly crushing her teeth!
Jian Liangtong’s fingers, tightly clenched, gripped even tighter, her body stiff as she slowly raised her head, her clear eyes weak and suppressed as they looked at Huo Shaojun.
Huo Shaojun also stared at Jian Liangtong, every gaze in his cold eyes seemed like tough threads winding around Jian Liangtong’s heart, the threads tighter, tightening more and more.
Making Jian Liangtong feel suffocated.
The breath entering her lungs grew scarcer and scarcer, Jian Liangtong’s panting sounds gradually increasing.
Her throat seemed to be strangled by a large hand.
Jian Liangtong couldn’t breathe, layers of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
Huo Shaojun seemed to notice something wrong with Jian Liangtong.
Releasing her chin, he tried to grab her hand.
Unexpectedly, just as his hand left her chin,
his body was suddenly pushed hard.
Huo Shaojun frowned, inadvertently pushed back several steps.
Jian Liangtong fled the restroom in utmost misery.
Instinctively, Huo Shaojun took a step forward, but his arm was forcibly held by Song Yun.
"Let go!" Huo Shaojun pressed his lips together, coldly glaring at Song Yun.
Song Yun shook her head, crying, "I won’t let go! Even if it kills me, I won’t! Shaojun, think about what Jian Liangtong did to you four years ago! Really think about it! She’s not worth you treating her like this, she’s not deserving!"
"It’s none of your business!" Huo Shaojun’s face was icy, his voice chilling!
"How is it none of my business? I care about you! Others don’t know how you’ve lived these four years, but I do! I was there with you during your most painful times! Where was she? What did she do for you? She did those things, heartlessly abandoned you, and for these four years, she hasn’t cared at all! A woman like that, why can’t you just let go?!" Song Yun cried out, gripping his arm.
Every expression of heartache on her face seemed to be for him!
In response to Song Yun’s "heartfelt" words, Huo Shaojun’s face remained tense and unmoved.
Seeing this, Song Yun cried even harder!
She had known him for more than ten years, and liked him for more than ten years.
Song Yun was not without suitors, not without admirers!
But to love him, she ignored all those who liked her or pursued her.
She was now almost thirty!
She had no other wish.
She just wanted to marry him by the age of thirty, to be Huo Shaojun’s wife.
But why couldn’t he see her? Why would he not accept her?
So many years had passed.
Her demands of him became increasingly low.
From initially hoping he could love her as deeply as she loved him, to now, just wanting him to give her a smile, a gentle word!
She begged for his charity like a beggar, humbly and obsequiously.
Sometimes, she even felt she had less dignity than a beggar!
She originally thought, with Jian Liangtong gone, she had accompanied him through his toughest and most painful times.
