Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 602 - 541: The Ending of Jun and Liangsheng Part 2: Treating Me Like a Fool 1
Let her be arrogant in front of her for now.
When the day comes that she marries the man she loves most, she will settle the score with her slowly.
She will return all the grievances she suffered at her hands over the years, twice over!
Huo Mansion.
At one in the morning, Huo Xingli was suddenly woken up by the person beside him.
Leaning against the headboard, Huo Xingli rubbed his nose drowsily, his lips pressed tight, showing his dissatisfaction with Fang Jingting’s actions, yet he couldn’t bring himself to blame her.
About five minutes passed, and Fang Jingting, who insisted on waking him, still said nothing.
Huo Xingli’s eyes flashed with surprise as he turned his head slightly to look at Fang Jingting.
Unexpectedly, he saw Fang Jingting continuously twisting her hands in front of her chest, her face full of anxiety and restlessness.
Huo Xingli narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out to grab one of her wrists, and gently but firmly separated her entangled hands.
"Honey..." Fang Jingting’s back shivered as if in fright, and she turned her anxious eyes to look at Huo Xingli, her voice trembling greatly from helplessness.
This version of Fang Jingting tugged at Huo Xingli’s heartstrings, and he pulled her closer into his embrace, holding her wrist.
He extended an arm from behind her neck, holding her shoulder and lightly patting it, his voice gentle, "What happened that is so troubling, keeping you awake at night? Tell your husband about it."
Fang Jingting bit her lip, not daring to speak.
Not understanding, Huo Xingli kissed her hair gently and said softly, "If you tell me, then your husband can help you, right?"
"...I, I can’t say," Fang Jingting lowered her head, her brows furrowed tightly.
Huo Xingli paused, looking at the side of Fang Jingting’s face.
Due to her nervousness, half of Fang Jingting’s face was twitching slightly.
Huo Xingli’s eyes flickered, gazing at her intently, "If you don’t say, can you rest well?"
Fang Jingting paused for a moment, then gently shook her head.
She lifted her eyes, looking helplessly at Huo Xingli.
Huo Xingli’s hand slid from her shoulder to her back, gently caressing her, and he smiled softly at her, "Look at you, just like a little girl, needing someone to coax you."
Fang Jingting was slightly startled, a tinge of red sweeping across her cheeks, as she rested her head lightly on Huo Xingli’s chest, "Over fifty already, what little girl."
Huo Xingli chuckled, "In my heart, you are always a little girl."
Fang Jingting laughed.
But as she laughed, the laughter slowly faded away.
Huo Xingli’s eyes also froze, but he said nothing.
"Honey, if I did something wrong, would you forgive me?" After a long moment, Fang Jingting said.
"Yes." Huo Xingli seemed to reply without a second thought.
Hearing him say this, Fang Jingting seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
She slowly sat up from Huo Xingli’s embrace, lifted her head to look at Huo Xingli, mustering enough courage to finally speak those words.
"Actually, Hao Hao is Shao Yun’s biological son, not Cheng Jin’s."
"..." Huo Xingli stared at Fang Jingting, seemingly unable to comprehend what she meant.
"A year ago, I took Hao Hao, Shao Yun, and Cheng Jin’s DNA for testing at the hospital. The results showed that Hao Hao and Shao Yun had a 9999% parent-child relationship. But the DNA report I gave to Shao Yun stated that Hao Hao and Cheng Jin were the real father and son."
Fang Jingting’s voice was low, clearly feeling that what she did was shameless, so she naturally lacked confidence when she spoke.
Huo Xingli’s expression darkened bit by bit, visibly with the naked eye.
Fang Jingting watched, frightened, hurriedly trying to explain, "You’ve seen it too, that woman has been lingering between Shao Yun and Cheng Jin, determined to latch onto our Huo Family. Her intentions are obvious to everyone. She just took a liking to our Huo Family’s wealth, believing that we could let her live a life akin to a wealthy lady, so she keeps entangling with our sons. Tell me, how could I let such a woman continue hanging around my two sons?"
Huo Xingli said not a word, looking at Fang Jingting with eyes that were frighteningly unfamiliar.
The more anxious Fang Jingting became, she stretched out her hand to grab one of Huo Xingli’s, "Honey, you understand me, right? Shao Yun and Cheng Jin are our sons after all.
Haven’t you seen the way they’ve been fighting over a woman? What brotherly bond do they have left, they seem more like enemies than family!
Ever since that Jian-named woman appeared around Shao Yun and Cheng Jin, trouble for both of them has been unending! Especially Cheng Jin.
A year ago, he was severely injured into a coma, staying in the intensive care unit for half a month before being moved out, and since he finally woke up, nearly a month has passed.
Those days, because of Cheng Jin’s incident, neither you, Shao Yun, nor his grandpa had any peace, right?"
"Honey, I just really do not want such a woman to ruin our sons, to destroy their future. That’s why I thought of such a method.
I knew that if I did this, neither you nor my father would agree, so I didn’t tell any of you.
Do you know? Because of this matter, I’ve been restless for a whole year, living every day in fear, afraid that you all would find out... But now, you know anyway..."
"Honey..."
"Does Shao Yun know?" Huo Xingli’s eyebrows pressed down with authority, his eyes on Fang Jingting making her feel like countless whips were flailing at her.
Fang Jingting was a bit intimidated by this version of Huo Xingli, her shoulders slightly curled, eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at him, nodding slightly like she was afraid he might suddenly strike her.
"What’s his reaction?" Huo Xingli continued with a cool voice.
"..." Fang Jingting closed her eyes for a moment, her voice trembling slightly, "I didn’t dare to admit it." Huo Xingli suddenly let out a cold snort, "If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t have the face to admit it either!"
Fang Jingting’s eyes reddened fiercely, pursing her lips as she looked at Huo Xingli, stubbornly declaring, "Although what I did was somewhat improper, my original intention was for Shao Yun’s good. Have you
thought about it? If Shao Yun had known back then that Hao Hao was his flesh and blood, given his personality, he would certainly have accepted that woman as well. Maybe they’d even get married..."
"So what if they get married?" Huo Xingli retorted in a low voice, "She even had a child with Shao Yun, why shouldn’t Shao Yun marry her?"
"Why not? She had a history with both Shao Yun and Cheng Jin. How could she be with the brother, then with the younger brother, and finally end up with the brother again?
If she truly marries Shao Yun, others would say our Huo Family is breaking all moral codes. Such infamy is something I cannot bear!"
Fang Jingting stiffened her neck, her emotions flaring due to Huo Xingli’s tough stance.
No wonder Fang Jingting acts willfully in the Huo Family.
Huo Xingli truly loves her.
He spent three whole years just to court her.
For Fang Jingting, Huo Xingli even accepted Fang Duo’s set of stubborn and outdated ideas, and showed respectful humility towards Fang Duo.
Since Fang Jingting married him, he has hardly ever gotten angry with her.
With such pampering from her husband, Fang Jingting’s willfulness comes with its own justification.
Yet.
The thing Fang Jingting did indeed crossed Huo Xingli’s bottom line.
Huo Xingli suddenly threw off the quilt over him and forcefully brushed aside Fang Jingting’s hand that was on his arm, getting out of bed.
A man in his fifties, still tall and large, with traces of youthful handsomeness subtly ingrained with steadiness and elegance.
He stood by the bed, the flames burning in his pupils were utterly foreign to Fang Jingting.
Fang Jingting’s arrogant temper instantly mellowed a bit, she got up from the bed, knelt in front of Huo Xingli, and hugged his waist with both hands, "Alright honey, I know I was wrong.
But now’s not the time to be angry. Shao Yun is so stubborn, I’m afraid he won’t forgive me. Please help me think of a way. See if it’s still possible to make Shao Yun believe that Hao Hao is Cheng Jin’s child."
In the instant Fang Jingting gently hugged his waist, Huo Xingli found that the burning anger of disappointment within his chest was gradually extinguishing.
However, Fang Jingting’s subsequent words once again fueled this anger to its peak.
Several deep breaths couldn’t calm Huo Xingli down.
His palms gripped Fang Jingting’s shoulders like steel, disregarding her resistance, forcibly pushing her away from him.
Fang Jingting unwillingly tried to pounce again.
But Huo Xingli suddenly took several steps back.
In Fang Jingting’s eyes, a hurt expression surfaced; she slumped back onto the bed, watching Huo Xingli with grievance and sadness.
Huo Xingli pointed at her, "You think what you did is for the good of Shao Yun and Cheng Jin, but in my view, the one who hurt them the most is you—this mother!"
Fang Jingting’s heart jolted, looking into Huo Xingli’s eyes with deeper hurt, "You really think that?"
"Yes!" Huo Xingli said.
"You knew how much Shao Yun liked Miss Jian, yet you used such despicable means to separate them.
You not only deprived Hao Hao of the fatherly love he deserved, but also burdened Shao Yun with the pain of being betrayed by someone he loved most.
Fang Jingting, your actions—what kind of mother does that make you?"
Huo Xingli spoke the heaviest words tonight!
Fang Jingting’s face quickly turned pale, her trembling lips muttering with bewilderment, "Are you saying I’m unfit to be Shao Yun and Cheng Jin’s mother?"
Seeing Fang Jingting’s devastated appearance.
Only in front of a beloved person, would one stop uttering hurtful words in a fury.
So, Huo Xingli said nothing more.
Yet the sense of disappointment in his eyes didn’t diminish one bit.
Finally, he left the room.
Having lived with Fang Jingting for over thirty years.
Apart from business trips, it was the first time he didn’t sleep in the same room, on the same bed, as Fang Jingting!
And Fang Jingting sat on the large bed in the room, crying until dawn.
The next day.
Guan Yu arrived early at Huo Shaojun’s apartment with a makeup artist.
There was an important assignment to attend today, and Huo Shaojun, as the final guest of honor, could not be absent.
Huo Shaojun disliked using cosmetics to adorn his face.
And the makeup artist brought by Guan Yu was the usual one for Huo Shaojun, well acquainted with his preferences, hence only tidied his hair before leaving.
At eight-thirty, Huo Shaojun and Guan Yu set out.
They sat in the minivan prepared by Guan Yu, just as Guan Yu was about to instruct the driver to drive away.
Huo Shaojun said, "Wait."
