Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 644 - 571: Junni and Liangsheng’s Finale—How About Coming Back with Me? (Part 3)
Seeing him, He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng thought he was waiting for Jian Liangtong as he had the past few days and didn’t think much more of it.
"Dad." From afar, Hao Hao called out to Huo Shaojun.
Huo Shaojun nodded and walked toward them.
He Xinyun’s expression flickered briefly with discomfort, letting go of Hao Hao’s hand and stepping to the side.
Huo Shaojun walked over, nodded to Jian Ningfeng, and bent down to pick up Hao Hao with one arm, but directed his words to He Xinyun, "Shall I give you a ride?"
He Xinyun froze, turning her head in surprise to look at Huo Shaojun.
And Jian Ningfeng also looked at Huo Shaojun with a face full of astonishment.
Huo Shaojun showed no change in expression, saying, "Let’s first drop Hao Hao at the kindergarten, and then give you and Uncle a ride to work, okay?"
He Xinyun, Jian Ningfeng, "..."
"Let’s get in the car first," said Huo Shaojun.
He Xinyun took a breath, "If you want to take Hao Hao to kindergarten, just go ahead. His grandpa and I can get to work by ourselves, we don’t need a ride."
Huo Shaojun pursed his lips, "Then let me take you and Uncle to your workplace first."
"No need for that, my workplace is nearby, just a few minutes’ walk," He Xinyun frowned.
He Xinyun worked at the community committee, which was originally located within the residential area but was later moved out.
But it wasn’t far from the neighborhood.
Huo Shaojun pursed his lips and glanced down at Hao Hao.
Receiving Huo Shaojun’s look, Hao Hao’s big eyes turned slightly, and he said to He Xinyun, "Grandma, aren’t you taking me to kindergarten?"
With Hao Hao, He Xinyun instantly put on a more kindly face, saying, "Granny will come to pick you up after school in the afternoon."
"But Hao Hao wants Grandma to take him," Hao Hao looked at He Xinyun with pure and hopeful big eyes.
He Xinyun’s heart softened immediately, "Alright, alright, Grandma will take you, Grandma will take you."
"Can we take Dad’s car, Grandma?" Hao Hao asked cheerfully.
He Xinyun, "..." Really wanted to say no!
But seeing Hao Hao’s joyful expression, He Xinyun couldn’t bring herself to utter the word "no" no matter what.
In the end, He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng ended up taking a ride in Huo Shaojun’s car with Hao Hao.
...
He Xinyun had worked for almost thirty years and had never been this, this irritated!
After dropping Hao Hao off at kindergarten, Huo Shaojun insisted on driving her and Hao Hao’s grandpa to work.
Fine, let him drive!
Who would’ve guessed, after dropping her off at work, he didn’t leave.
The car remained parked at the entrance.
She usually wasn’t into cars, but in any organization, there’s always someone who knows about them.
So today at work, the talk of the day was the car parked at the entrance.
They were saying it was some sort of latest model sports car, worth millions or something.
He Xinyun didn’t dare to mention her connection with the car owner at all.
She thought by not mentioning it, the gossip would eventually die down, but a box of fruit arriving was like a bomb, causing a complete uproar at her workplace.
A delivery guy brought in a beautifully arranged fruit box, respectfully placed it on He Xinyun’s desk, and said it was sent by the owner of that car outside for her.
He even asked what she’d like for lunch, as he’d bring it to her!
Now, this was great.
The entire community committee knew of He Xinyun’s connection to the owner of the luxury car parked outside.
Luckily, He Xinyun’s conduct had always been proper, so no one there thought badly of her, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Surrounded by everyone, He Xinyun’s head was about to explode, her face could hardly be any stiffer.
Despite everyone’s relentless questioning, He Xinyun maintained a "silence is golden" attitude, letting it in one ear and out the other.
Because she had witnessed too many of such incidents herself.
Many of their questions actually didn’t require her to answer, as they already had many answers in their minds.
So no matter how you respond, they always feel you’re not telling the truth.
As long as they don’t mistake it for a middle-aged romance, it’s fine.
What He Xinyun couldn’t stand the most was that just when the crowd’s gossiping desire had diminished slightly, the delivery guy walked in again with two gigantic cacti, saying the gentleman outside specially sent them for He Xinyun to ward off radiation.
Because He Xinyun had a computer on her desk, but no green plants to ward off radiation around it.
Feeling the eyes filled with a thick air of gossip turning towards her again, He Xinyun’s face turned green.
All morning, the whole community committee did nothing but gossip about He Xinyun and the luxury car outside.
At noon, when everyone finally went to the cafeteria for lunch, He Xinyun quietly took a few deep breaths in her office to barely suppress the turbulent emotions inside, then walked out of the office with a frown and headed toward Huo Shaojun sitting in the car.
