Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 571 - 520: Jun and Your Liangsheng Ending, Middle Part: Feeling at Ease 2
Jian Liangtong looked at Huo Chengjin, her small hand suddenly gently tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Huo Chengjin’s eyes sank deeply, his face tense and taut, holding his breath, deeply staring at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes flickered slightly, lips pursed, holding onto the hem of his clothes without letting go.
Huo Shaojun stared at the trusting hand of Jian Liangtong gripping Huo Chengjin’s hem, his thin lips suddenly contracting into a sharp curve.
Huo Chengjin lowered his eyes, looking at the small hand of Jian Liangtong holding his hem, the corners of his tightly pursed lips suddenly soared, as if thousands of stars were lighting up in his long eyes, he lifted his head, foolishly smiling at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes lightly flashed, her body slightly leaning closer to him.
As soon as she leaned closer, she heard his booming heartbeat, thumping into her ears.
Jian Liangtong’s heart fluttered slightly, looking up at him.
Huo Chengjin let go of Jian Liangtong’s shoulder, instead holding the hand she used to clutch his hem, raising his brows, glancing angrily at Fang Jingting batting furious gazes at them.
His handsome face because of joy, was a softness and genuineness Fang Jingting and others had never seen before.
Huo Xingli then lowered his eyes.
"Chengjin, I don’t care how you fool around outside, but this woman can never become a daughter-in-law of the Huo Family!" Fang Jingting said.
"Fortunately, Uncle and Aunt’s family only has Tongtong as a child, I don’t mind being a live-in son-in-law." Huo Chengjin said softly, the tone without a hint of joking.
Yet, as soon as he said this.
He simultaneously shocked everyone present.
Jian Liangtong was so surprised, her face slightly stunned, staring at Huo Chengjin’s eyes woodenly, dumbfounded.
He actually said.
He doesn’t mind being a "live-in son-in-law"?
Huo Xingli furrowed his brows tight, lifting his eyes looking at Huo Chengjin with displeasure.
Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes also slightly withdrew.
This brother of his, proud and headstrong, of strange temperament, with unexpected methods, chased by numerous women.
But now for her, he was willing to be a "live-in son-in-law"...
Huo Shaojun clenched his hands tighter in his trouser pockets.
Fang Jingting at first thought she had imagined it.
Her son, Fang Jingting’s own son, the dignified general manager of the Huo Group, actually uttered such exceptional and cowardly words as wanting to be someone else’s "live-in son-in-law"!
"Alright, alright then!" Fang Jingting stomped angrily in place, as if looking for something, finally she grabbed a teacup off the long table in front of the sofa, and threw it hard at Huo Chengjin.
Huo Chengjin seemed used to it, not even flinching.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes narrowed, instinctively sidestepped, blocking in front of Huo Chengjin.
"Hmm..."
Bang—
The muffled sound from Jian Liangtong and the sound of the teacup hitting the ground happened simultaneously.
Only Jian Liangtong’s sound was completely drowned by the sharp sound of the teacup smashing.
"Tongtong!"
Huo Chengjin’s expression changed drastically, his pupils dilated in fright, he turned holding Jian Liangtong, gripping her shoulder anxiously, "Are you an idiot? Who told you to block for me!"
Huo Chengjin growled low, yet his face was full of anxiety and tenderness.
The teacup had merely hit Jian Liangtong’s back, painful but not unbearable.
Jian Liangtong bit her lip, her face pale as she looked at Huo Chengjin, furrowing her eyebrows said, "You call me stupid, how much better are you? Don’t you know to dodge?"
"I’m used to it!" Huo Chengjin said gruffly, bending down he picked up Jian Liangtong to head upstairs, "Let’s go check in my room where you’re injured."
One sentence "I’m used to it" made Jian Liangtong’s heart wrench slightly, she reached out and held his tense arm, "I’m fine..."
"Huo Chengjin, I’ll give you one last chance, quickly kick this woman out of the house for me! Immediately!" Fang Jingting furiously ordered pointing at Huo Chengjin.
Huo Chengjin looked gloomily at Fang Jingting coldly.
That look, it was also something Fang Jingting had never seen before, a chilled indifference.
Fang Jingting’s heart shook slightly, she even gasped a little.
Huo Chengjin held Jian Liangtong turning away, his handsome face wrapped with gravitas and frost, glanced at Huo Xingli and Huo Shaojun, finally settled on Fang Jingting’s face, "She is the most important person in my life, Huo Chengjin. Since you all are so unwelcoming to her, dumb things like bringing her here for you to insult and scorn, I, Huo Chengjin, will never do such a thing a second time in my life!"
After those words.
Huo Chengjin holding Jian Liangtong was about to leave.
"Stop!"
Huo Xingli, who hadn’t spoken all along, suddenly spoke, his voice steady with an innate air of authority.
Huo Chengjin paused slightly, his face sternly taut, eyebrows furrowed looking at Huo Xingli.
Seeing Huo Chengjin’s defensive stance afraid he might trouble the woman in his arms, Huo Xingli sneered inwardly.
Not showing anything on the surface, calmly rose from the sofa, said, "Have dinner before you leave."
Huo Chengjin, Jian Liangtong, "..."
Huo Shaojun squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth tensed lightly.
Fang Jingting looked at Huo Xingli like she’d seen a ghost, "Husband..."
"Whatever happens, discuss it after dinner." Huo Xingli didn’t let Fang Jingting finish, reached out and patted her shoulder, his voice gentle, yet no room for negotiation.
Fang Jingting bit her lip sulkily, her eyes reddened glaring at Jian Liangtong in Huo Chengjin’s arms.
With this woman here, can she eat?
Dining room.
On a mil-dollar oblong dining table.
Huo Xingli sat at the head of the table, Fang Jingting sat in the first position to his right, while Huo Shaojun was seated beside Fang Jingting.
Huo Chengjin and Jian Liangtong sat in order to the left of Huo Xingli.
Five people around the dining table.
Only Huo Xingli and Huo Shaojun remained calm and orderly while dining.
But Fang Jingting, upon seeing Jian Liangtong opposite her, felt a fire burning within her, so intense that her throat hurt, preventing her from even drinking a single spoonful of soup.
Huo Chengjin, preoccupied with the incident where Jian Liangtong’s back was hit, had no appetite for eating.
Jian Liangtong kept her head down, holding a pair of chopsticks in one hand, her pale face devoid of any expression except for her lightly pursed lips.
Yet under the table, her hand on her knee was clenching tightly, and even her legs were trembling.
For nothing else.
Just because the man sitting opposite her, taking advantage of his long legs, had already... slid a leg into her skirt, rubbing back and forth on her calf before suddenly sliding upward, stopping at the base of her thigh...
Jian Liangtong bit her lip, her almond eyes trembling, as she slightly raised her eyes to glance at the man across from her, eating elegantly without a change in expression, her heart flooding with endless grievance and humiliation.
What does he take her for?
The hand on her knee was suddenly grasped by a warm large hand.
Jian Liangtong’s body stiffened slightly, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked rigidly at Huo Chengjin sitting beside her.
He noticed that Jian Liangtong’s hand was trembling, and it was as cold as ice.
Huo Chengjin’s lips tightened, but without overthinking, he assumed Jian Liangtong was uncomfortable. Concerned, he looked at her and whispered, "I’m here."
Even though Huo Chengjin spoke in a low voice, the dining room was too quiet, so everyone turned to look at her as soon as he spoke.
At the same time, the leg that was only resting at the base of her thigh suddenly crept further into her.
Jian Liangtong’s back shivered intensely, and she hurriedly stood up from her place, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I’m going to the restroom."
After saying this, Jian Liangtong quickly left the dining room.
Huo Chengjin paused, bracing his hands on the armrests of the chair, about to stand.
"Nanny Xu is outside. If you’re worried Miss Jian can’t find the restroom, Nanny Xu can tell her," Huo Xingli stated indifferently.
"..." Huo Chengjin frowned and looked at Huo Xingli.
"Eat your meal!" Huo Xingli demanded.
Huo Chengjin furrowed his brow even more deeply.
"What’s so good about this kind of woman? Hovering between the two of you brothers, isn’t it disgusting!"
Fang Jingting scoffed coldly.
Huo Chengjin’s gaze turned cold.
"Jingting." Huo Xingli paused, looking at Fang Jingting, "You eat your meal too!"
Seeing Huo Xingli’s serious gaze, Fang Jingting had to swallow back her words that were stuck in her throat, showing a look of displeasure.
Huo Shaojun lowered his dark lashes, his face consistently indifferent, making it impossible to guess his true emotions at that moment.
Unhurriedly, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin by the table to dab his mouth, placed it back on the table, and stood up, "You all eat slowly, I’ll go smoke a cigarette."
Huo Xingli continued eating with his eyes down, and said nothing upon hearing this.
Fang Jingting, however, grew anxious, staring at Huo Shaojun, cautiously saying, "Shaojun, smoke less, it’s bad for your health."
She was actually afraid that Huo Shaojun would use this as an excuse to go find Jian Liangtong and become entangled with her again.
But not being able to say it outright, she had to express it indirectly.
Huo Shaojun didn’t look at her and walked toward the door, "Hmm."
Fang Jingting pressed her lips tightly together, worried and anxious.
Seeing Huo Shaojun leave, Huo Chengjin frowned deeply, his face instantly darkening to the point it could almost drip ink, he stood up and quickly walked out of the dining room.
This time, Huo Xingli likewise did not say anything.
Seeing this, Fang Jingting finally couldn’t hold back, nervously looking at Huo Xingli.
But seeing Huo Xingli’s calm expression, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Restroom.
Jian Liangtong stood in front of the vanity, her hands bracing against the marble counter, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
The subtle sound of water echoed in the quiet bathroom, and Jian Liangtong, her eyes scarlet, stared at herself in the mirror.
The terrifying thoughts echoing in her mind drove her to self-loathing!
Stepping into the villa.
Upon seeing Fang Jingting, the thought sprouted in her mind.
Fang Jingting, with her bossy demeanour, righteously despising her, disgusted her!
Having plotted such a thing, seeing her now, how did she manage to act "without guilt," as if nothing had happened?
Or is it.
That such things, in the eyes of these wealthy people, are mundane, not worth remembering, nor warranting any shame or remorse!
Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, an invisible whip seemed to lash sternly in her mind.
Jian Liangtong gritted her teeth hard and suddenly lowered her head, cupping her hands to splash the cold flowing water from the faucet onto her face.
The room’s door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Jian Liangtong’s body momentarily froze, her head raising slowly, her reddened almond eyes washed by the water looked at the man entering through the door from the mirror.
Her heart quivered.
Huo Shaojun also gazed at Jian Liangtong through the mirror, his cold eyes deep and swirling with a dangerous undertow.
He even held a lit cigarette between his fingers, yet appeared so eerily calm it was intimidating.
