Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 548 - 503: Jun and Your Liangsheng Ending, Middle Part: Guardianship 1
Zhang Le Yi was being scolded so directly by Jian Liangtong for the first time!
She was already bewildered.
Later, when she found out Tan Chao and the female lead were a couple, she was even more dumbfounded!
She stood there, speechless, watching Jian Liangtong pacing angrily back and forth.
Fortunately, Zhang Le Yi wasn’t completely stupid and eventually went with Jian Liangtong to apologize to the director and the female lead.
Although Zhang Le Yi’s attitude was sincere and she explained the misunderstanding about their relationship was due to something she had seen before,
Director Tan’s attitude remained indifferent. Even though he said there would be no casting changes, both Jian Liangtong and Zhang Le Yi knew very well that they were unlikely to have another opportunity to collaborate with Tan Chao in the future.
After leaving the director, Jian Liangtong didn’t say another word to Zhang Le Yi and left the set.
With a heavy heart, Zhang Le Yi kept calling Jian Liangtong, but Jian Liangtong didn’t answer.
A week passed, and Jian Liangtong received a call from Chen Zhenglin, asking to meet and mentioning it was about his new movie.
With box office figures exceeding billions, undoubtedly, getting to star in Director Chen Zhenglin’s film, especially as the female lead, was an opportunity many actors dream of.
So, despite knowing who the male lead was, the opportunity was too valuable for Jian Liangtong to refuse.
They agreed upon a meeting place.
Jian Liangtong finally removed Zhang Le Yi from her blacklist and dialed her number.
Jian Liangtong brought Zhang Le Yi to the agreed location with Director Chen, but he hadn’t arrived yet.
So, Jian Liangtong and Zhang Le Yi waited in the private room.
After a week without seeing her, Zhang Le Yi looked much more worn out; even with light makeup, her dark circles were obvious.
She sat nervously on the sofa, carefully watching Jian Liangtong.
For the past week, she had tried various ways to reach her, but to no avail.
Zhang Le Yi was very anxious, fearing she had offended Jian Liangtong and that she would give up on her.
She knew Jian Liangtong currently had several good collaboration resources in hand.
If she truly abandoned her and put her on ice, she would inevitably lose access to these resources.
Perhaps, Director Tan Chao’s drama could be the last show of her life.
So this past week, Zhang Le Yi hadn’t been doing well, losing sleep and appetite.
And today, when Jian Liangtong called her, only saying she would take her to meet someone, without mentioning who it was.
Now, with only the two of them in the private room and Jian Liangtong remaining silent, Zhang Le Yi couldn’t fathom her intentions, feeling even more restless.
"Sister Tong, who are you taking me to meet?"
Zhang Le Yi looked at Jian Liangtong timidly and asked softly.
"Should be here soon," Jian Liangtong glanced at Zhang Le Yi and said.
"... Oh," Zhang Le Yi’s eyes flickered as she replied.
Jian Liangtong said nothing more.
After a while, Zhang Le Yi added, "Sister Tong, are you still mad at me?"
Jian Liangtong paused slightly and looked at Zhang Le Yi, "Why would I be angry?"
"..." Zhang Le Yi bit her lip helplessly, "Sister Tong, I reflected on what happened last time. I know I was wrong. You’re mad at me because you want me to do better."
How do I put it?
Zhang Le Yi is typically quick to admit her mistakes but doesn’t internalize them.
She believes that as long as she apologizes first, the issue is resolved.
From then on, she thinks everything will be back to how it was!
Jian Liangtong looked at Zhang Le Yi for a while and then said, "It’s all in the past."
"Does that mean you’ve forgiven me?" Zhang Le Yi immediately asked with delight.
Jian Liangtong looked at Zhang Le Yi’s seemingly genuinely happy face and slightly curled her lips but said nothing.
Zhang Le Yi saw her smile and thought she really forgave her. She happily scooted closer, affectionately looped her arm around Jian’s, and smiled foolishly at her.
Jian Liangtong raised her brows lightly and still said nothing.
When Chen Zhenglin appeared in the room, Zhang Le Yi was so shocked her eyes nearly popped out.
And upon learning Chen Zhenglin intended to cast her as the female lead, Zhang Le Yi was incredulous but also uncontrollably ecstatic. Her facial expressions went completely out of control.
She was so incoherent that Jian Liangtong frowned as soon as she started talking and ended up directly stopping her from speaking again.
This meeting lasted about half an hour before Chen Zhenglin excused himself and left.
As soon as Chen Zhenglin left, Zhang Le Yi suddenly screamed and bounced off the sofa, jumping around the room in delight.
Jian Liangtong smirked and watched her coldly.
It took Zhang Le Yi a while to calm herself down; she picked up the glass of red wine on the table, turned her head back, and drank it in one go.
Jian Liangtong frowned, got up, and said, "Let’s go."
Zhang Le Yi held her face, smiling and shaking her head, "Sister Tong, I’m too happy; when I’m happy, I want to drink. Sister Tong, let’s drink."
"Drink at home, it’s not wise to get drunk here," Jian Liangtong replied calmly.
"..." Zhang Le Yi’s face turned slightly displeased, mumbling, "Such a killjoy."
Jian Liangtong pretended not to hear, covering her long lashes, and left the room.
Zhang Le Yi pouted, reluctantly following her out.
After seeing Zhang Le Yi back to her apartment building, Zhang Le Yi again invited Jian Liangtong to her place for drinks, and Jian Liangtong refused once more.
At that moment, Zhang Le Yi gave Jian Liangtong a frosty smile as she got out of the car.
Jian Liangtong just assumed she was blind and saw nothing.
Zhang Le Yi has given her the cold shoulder more than once or twice.
Jian Liangtong knows this well.
Right now, Zhang Le Yi is still her artist and needs to rely on the resources in her hands.
But the day will come when she grows strong, and then Jian Liangtong, as her manager, will soon be replaced.
But there is no avoiding this.
Jian Liangtong’s own temper is not very good, and now she can ignore Zhang Le Yi’s occasional attitude because she doesn’t want to bother with her.
Zhang Le Yi is petty and vengeful. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Keeping a distance is best, no need to trouble herself with unnecessary enmity, avoiding a lot of bothersome issues.
Jian Liangtong went to pick up Hao Hao from school in the afternoon, and then the mother and son went to a fast-food place to eat fried chicken.
After eating, they went to the supermarket, bought two big bags of snacks, and then went home hand in hand.
Just as they finished sorting the snacks into the snack bin.
The doorbell rang.
Hao Hao lifted his head from in front of the TV and looked towards the door.
Jian Liangtong glanced at Hao Hao, raised an eyebrow in confusion, and then walked towards the door.
Standing at the door, she peered through the peephole.
When she saw the man standing at the door in modest clothes, Jian Liangtong was taken aback.
It’s, Ruan Chen!
It’s been almost a month since they last met.
She thought he had given up.
But today, he appeared again.
Jian Liangtong hesitated for a moment, then turned the doorknob and opened the door.
Ruan Chen had both hands in his pockets, but as soon as Jian Liangtong opened the door, he took one hand out of his pocket.
His eyes carried a deep expression, staring at Jian Liangtong.
The two stood separately inside and outside the door, both silent.
After a while, Jian Liangtong gently moved her lips and said to Ruan Chen, "What’s up?"
Ruan Chen pursed his lips, glanced inside, and his voice was a bit stiff, "Can I come in?"
"..."
Jian Liangtong paused for a moment, then slightly moved to the side of the door.
Ruan Chen took his other hand out of his pocket, pressed his lips together tightly, and walked in.
Jian Liangtong watched him from behind for a moment, then closed the door and followed him into the living room.
Hao Hao saw Ruan Chen and politely called out "Uncle Ruan," then glanced at Jian Liangtong and slipped off the sofa to go to his small room.
Seeing this, Jian Liangtong’s eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Ruan Chen, who was standing by the sofa, turning his head to gaze at her intently, "Water or drink?"
"Just plain water," Ruan Chen said, staring at her.
"...Okay." Jian Liangtong replied, took out a disposable cup, filled it with plain water, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
She retreated to a side armchair, Jian Liangtong’s eyes clear, watching Ruan Chen, "Have a seat."
Ruan Chen’s eyelids drooped slightly, and after a while, he sat down.
Seeing him sit down, Jian Liangtong also sat on the sofa.
"I’ve been on business trips recently," Ruan Chen said.
"..." Jian Liangtong looked up at him.
Ruan Chen stared at her, "Not coming to find you isn’t because I’ve given up."
Jian Liangtong’s brows furrowed slightly.
"You once told me that you can’t stand the thought of liking someone who doesn’t like you," Ruan Chen said slowly, his tone calm and steady, "You were wrong."
Jian Liangtong felt something heavy in her heart, looking at Ruan Chen’s serious face, the furrow between her brows deepening.
"I like someone not to possess her, but just to see her smile. That’s enough for me."
Ruan Chen said in a hoarse voice, his gaze sticky with deep affection, making it hard for someone to meet his eyes.
"Tongtong, whether you like me or not, I like you. You said you wouldn’t love anyone else in this life, nor live with someone you don’t like. I won’t force you to love me, nor insist you live with me. I just hope you allow me to be by your side."
"..."
Jian Liangtong was shocked that Ruan Chen could say such things.
She even suspected the man in front of her wasn’t Ruan Chen!
Taking a deep breath, Jian Liangtong’s eyes quivered with disbelief as she looked at Ruan Chen, "Do you know what you’re saying?"
"Tongtong, let me protect you," Ruan Chen’s words echoed like a vow in Jian Liangtong’s ears.
Jian Liangtong clasped her hands, staring blankly at Ruan Chen.
"You don’t have to be with me, nor like me, and definitely don’t feel any burden. Just like you told me before, don’t pity me or feel sorry for me. Everything I do is voluntary, it has nothing to do with you," Ruan Chen said.
Jian Liangtong’s temples throbbed, she clasped her hands together, sat up straight, and still looked incredulously at Ruan Chen, "What is the point of doing this?"
"Seeing you is the point," Ruan Chen said stubbornly.
Jian Liangtong felt her head about to explode, "Ruan Chen, you don’t need to waste your time on me. You’re so outstanding, you won’t have trouble finding a good girl."
"But in this world, there’s only one Jian Liangtong."
Ruan Chen looked at Jian Liangtong with deep emotion.
"..." Jian Liangtong could say her goosebumps came rising.
