Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 581 - 525: Jun and Your Liangsheng Finale Part 2: Court Summons 1
Jin Jumo felt heartbroken, not opening her mouth to ask about the court result, because the outcome couldn’t be more obvious.
Accompanying Jian Liangtong back home.
Looking at the once happy family of three, now all sitting silently and dazed on the sofa, Jin Jumo felt an indescribable bitterness and sadness.
When Rong Mochen’s call came in, Jin Jumo was in the kitchen with a big belly, making food for Jian Liangtong and the other two.
"How is it?" Rong Mochen asked.
Jin Jumo’s eyes were slightly red, glancing from the kitchen towards the silent three in the living room, she whispered, "Not good."
There was a moment of silence on Rong Mochen’s side.
"Honey."
"Hmm?"
"Is there any way?" Jin Jumo asked hoarsely.
Rong Mochen said nothing.
Jin Jumo frowned in distress, chokingly saying, "Can’t you?"
"Little Mo..."
"Why? Since Hao Hao was born, what have they, the Huo family, done for him? Why do they just take him away whenever they say they will?"
"..." Rong Mochen had no words to respond.
Regarding this matter, Rong Mochen had long known about Fang Jingting taking Jian Liangtong to court.
He chose to hide it from Jin Jumo.
Firstly, Jin Jumo was pregnant; if she knew, she would certainly not let it go; secondly, the Rong and Huo families are essentially one family, and compared to Jian Liangtong, Huo Shaojun and Huo Chengjin naturally had his support, which was understandable.
But if Jin Jumo asked him for help, he would be unable to refuse her request.
Then he’d be caught between his loved one and his best brother, inevitably leaving one party dissatisfied no matter what he did.
So... he could only hide it from Jin Jumo.
Until today when the outcome was revealed, he then let her know.
The bond between Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong was deeper than that of sisters, he thought, having Jin Jumo accompany Jian Liangtong might offer some comfort.
But Rong Mochen didn’t fully understand the significance of Hao Hao to Jian Liangtong, or to the Jian family.
With Hao Hao around, this home surrounded by darkness would occasionally have a glimmer of light shining through.
But now, even Hao Hao is gone.
Not only is this a fatal blow to Jian Liangtong, but it’s also a severe hit to Jian Ningfeng and He Xinyun.
In the short term, Jian Ningfeng and He Xinyun are unlikely to recover from the pain of losing Hao Hao.
And Jian Liangtong...
Jin Jumo’s eyes were filled with intense worry.
And the situation Jin Jumo was worried about came upon them that same night.
Jian Liangtong awoke in the middle of the night, frantically searching every corner of the room for Hao Hao.
To Jin Jumo and Jian Ningfeng’s husband and wife, this scene was like watching a horror movie in a dark room.
Jian Liangtong looked distraught, her eyes filled with mad redness, repeatedly calling out Hao Hao’s name, turning over every corner of the room.
Can’t find him, can’t find him...
Jian Liangtong stood in the center of the room clutching her head, suddenly beginning to pull her hair with force.
"Ah..." He Xinyun saw Jian Liangtong holding a tuft of hair with scalp and couldn’t help but cry out, rushing to hug Jian Liangtong, pleading.
Jian Liangtong seemed completely oblivious to everything outside, immersed in the terror and confusion of "can’t find Hao Hao."
Held tightly by He Xinyun.
The veins on Jian Liangtong’s forehead and face bulged, desperately trying to break free from He Xinyun’s grip.
Jin Jumo had never seen Jian Liangtong like this.
Thus, Jian Liangtong’s appearance at this moment was unprecedentedly shocking to Jin Jumo.
At this moment, neither Jian Ningfeng nor He Xinyun, nor Jin Jumo knew what to do. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
They didn’t know how to help her, how to rescue her from the pain and fear.
Nor did they know how to tell her that Hao Hao had been taken back to the Huo family.
Ding dong—
The doorbell rang at this moment, like the sound reminding the transition back to the normal world in a horror movie.
Jin Jumo saw Jian Liangtong briefly stiffen in He Xinyun’s arms.
Jin Jumo clenched her fingers, eyes red, took a deep breath and looked at Jian Ningfeng.
Jian Ningfeng looked towards the door.
Jin Jumo noticed Jian Ningfeng’s hands trembling violently at his sides, her heart tightening.
At this moment, Jin Jumo realized that if even she couldn’t maintain logic and calm, then Jian Ningfeng and He Xinyun could even less remain calm.
The doorbell rang again.
Jin Jumo took a deep breath, exhaled slightly, then walked towards the door.
Looking through the peephole, she saw Hao Hao standing at the door with an unfamiliar middle-aged woman behind him, Jin Jumo’s breath hitched, she rushed to open the door.
"Hao Hao..."
Jin Jumo looked at Hao Hao in disbelief.
And Hao Hao seemed stunned upon seeing Jin Jumo.
Immediately he rushed over, tightly hugging Jin Jumo’s legs, bursting into tears, "Aunt Jin, Aunt Jin..."
Hao Hao’s crying almost brought tears to Jin Jumo’s eyes.
"Hao Hao, Hao Hao..." Jian Ningfeng hurried over, extending trembling arms to embrace Hao Hao.
"Grandpa, sob sob, Grandpa, Hao Hao will be good and obedient, please don’t send Hao Hao away, Grandpa, Hao Hao doesn’t want to leave, no, don’t want to leave..."
Hao Hao cried so hard he choked several times.
Jian Ningfeng shed tears, holding Hao Hao tightly without being able to speak.
"Hao Hao, where are you? Don’t be naughty with Mommy, come out quickly, let Mommy hug you, Hao Hao..."
Jian Liangtong’s anxious murmuring voice came from inside the room.
Everyone at the door froze simultaneously.
Jin Jumo turned to look at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong lowered her head, her eyes wide open, frantically scanning the floor around her.
She looked as if she... had gone mad.
"Tongtong, don’t scare Mommy, don’t scare Mommy, Tongtong, ah..." He Xinyun helplessly grasped Jian Liangtong’s arm, her heart shattered into powder.
"Hao Hao, I need to find my Hao Hao, let go of me, let go of me, Hao Hao..."
Jian Liangtong seemed unable to bear He Xinyun’s presence anymore, she lifted her head in a daze, her vacant eyes staring at He Xinyun.
"Ah..." He Xinyun cried painfully, tightly holding her arms, shaking fiercely, "Wake up, wake up! You’re so useless, so useless! Do you want to see your father and me die in front of you? It hurts, my heart aches!"
"Let go of me, I need to find Hao Hao, I need to find Hao Hao..." Jian Liangtong seemed to only repeat those words.
"Ah..." He Xinyun leaned against Jian Liangtong, feeling heartbroken.
"Mom..." Hao Hao looked at Jian Liangtong, his pale little face full of panic.
"Hao Hao, I need to find Hao Hao, Hao Hao..."
"Mom, Mom." Suddenly, Hao Hao started to struggle in Jian Ningfeng’s embrace.
Jian Ningfeng could barely hold him, so he had to put Hao Hao down.
Hao Hao immediately ran towards Jian Liangtong, "Mom, I’m Hao Hao, Hao Hao is here, Mom..."
Jian Liangtong’s erratic eyes focused on Hao Hao, apparently recognizing him.
For some time, everyone thought Jian Liangtong might finally "wake" up.
But unexpectedly, Jian Liangtong glared at Hao Hao, screaming in He Xinyun’s arms, struggling violently again.
No one was prepared for this.
Hao Hao looked at Jian Liangtong, his tiny shoulders quivering, his bright black eyes filled with fear and horror.
That night, for the Jian Family, was a nightmare, a past they would never want to recall.
One year later.
Bai Qiao noticed that since Jian Liangtong was discharged from the hospital, she had changed a bit.
But he couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly had changed.
That day, after two months of consecutive shooting, "Demon Realm" finally wrapped up.
In the evening, the crew decided to celebrate the completion of "Demon Realm" at Yu Xiangju.
"Bai Qiao, I’m not going to the wrap party tonight, take it easy, don’t drink too much." Jian Liangtong slung her bag over her shoulder while saying this and walking out.
Bai Qiao was taken aback, "Sister Tong, aren’t you coming with me?"
"I have something to do." Jian Liangtong said and then disappeared at the door.
Bai Qiao scratched his head, baffled by Jian Liangtong’s recent odd behavior.
"Bai Qiao, where’s Liang Tong?" Wen Sirou entered from outside, her gentle eyes scanning the room but didn’t find the person she was looking for.
She pursed her lips, lightly grasping her other arm, and asked Bai Qiao puzzledly.
Seeing Wen Sirou, Bai Qiao slightly furrowed his brows, and replied indifferently, "Gone."
Then he turned to pack his luggage, preparing to leave the hotel.
"Gone?" Wen Sirou’s eyes darkened slightly, murmuring.
Bai Qiao did not seem to hear her, didn’t respond to Wen Sirou.
Wen Sirou blinked, glanced at Bai Qiao one last time, said nothing, and turned to leave the room.
At the milk tea shop not far from the kindergarten.
Jian Liangtong hurried to the milk tea shop, and as soon as she entered she saw a little boy wearing a black cotton-linen shirt and white pants, his fair little hands holding a cup of milk tea, sitting coolly on the sofa chair in the shop.
Her lips curled into a gentle smile, "Hao Hao."
Huo Tinghao’s dark eyes instantly brightened, focusing on Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong was enveloped in a layer of tenderness, walked quickly towards him, bent down to kiss his little face, "Sorry, the road was a bit congested, I’m late."
Huo Tinghao’s face flushed, yet he pouted with seriousness, "If you didn’t come soon, I would have left."
Jian Liangtong puckered her lips, shamelessly squeezed into the seat beside Hao Hao, holding his little hand in appeasement, and said softly, "This is the last time, promise I won’t be late next time, forgive me this once, okay?"
Huo Tinghao glanced at her, sighed like a little adult, and handed her the milk tea, "Here."
Jian Liangtong was moved and kissed Hao Hao’s little face again.
"How was your day at school today?" Jian Liangtong bit on the straw, tilting her head to look at Hao Hao.
Hao Hao thought for a moment, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke, "Today a little girl gave my brother chocolates, asked Xixi sister to pass them to him, but Xixi sister was greedy and ate them."
Jian Liangtong laughed, "That little girl is quite pitiful."
Hao Hao modestly pursed his lips into a smile, his eyes sparkling as he said to Jian Liangtong, "Xixi sister is such a foodie."
Jian Liangtong stared into Hao Hao’s eyes, the warmth in her eyes almost spilling out, she laughed and asked, "Did any little girls in kindergarten give our Hao Hao chocolates?"
