Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 654 - 578: Jun, Your Cold Ending—But I Still Love Him
Jian Liangtong nodded to her, and left the community committee office with He Xinyun under the complex gazes of the people.
Back home, Jian Liangtong let He Xinyun sit on the sofa.
She went to the bathroom to get some water, squatted in front of her, and wet the towel to wipe He Xinyun’s face.
He Xinyun placed her hands on her knees, eyes swollen red, watching Jian Liangtong, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Jian Liangtong wiped several times but couldn’t dry the tears on He Xinyun’s face, her hand holding the towel slowly lowered.
Jian Liangtong bit her lip, her apricot eyes also flushed red.
"Foolish child." He Xinyun covered her mouth and turned her head to one side, unwilling to look at Jian Liangtong.
"Mom, please stop crying." Jian Liangtong’s voice was slightly hoarse as she put the towel into the water basin, stood up, and sat beside He Xinyun, reaching out to hug her.
"Mom is heartbroken." He Xinyun shook her head, tears falling uncontrollably.
Jian Liangtong’s throat choked up, looking at He Xinyun. After a while, she whispered, "When you feel like this, I hurt even more than you."
"Uh..."
He Xinyun lost control and cried out loud, turned back and hugged Jian Liangtong tightly.
Jian Liangtong’s heart ached, her chin lightly resting on He Xinyun’s shoulder, "I’m sorry, for causing you and dad so much grievance because of me."
"Mom doesn’t feel wronged, Mom only feels sorrow for you. Those people know nothing, understand nothing, they only blindly misunderstand and slander you. You’re only twenty-six years old, yet you’ve endured so much hardship. Every time Mom thinks of what kind of life you’ve led these past few years, it pains me terribly. Mom doesn’t want you to go through such days anymore, never again." He Xinyun said while crying.
Tears slid down Jian Liangtong’s eyes, for the first ten seconds or so, she couldn’t utter a single word.
Her throat rolled sourly, "Mom, it’s all in the past. I am no longer the old Jian Liangtong, I won’t let anyone bully me without learning how to fight back and protect myself."
"Tongtong."
He Xinyun suddenly grasped Jian Liangtong’s arms, slightly pulling her back, looking at her earnestly with red eyes, "Can we not be with him? Hmm? We’re not obliged to him, right?"
"...Mom." Jian Liangtong choked, feeling unbearably sad inside.
"Tongtong, haven’t you noticed? Each time you get involved with him, troubles arise, disasters occur. Mom only wants you safe, wants you happy, nothing else. But these, he can’t give you, Tongtong, my daughter, can you not be with him? Please, okay?" He Xinyun even pleaded.
Jian Liangtong’s tears surged fiercely, she inhaled deeply, "Mom, Mom, I..."
The phone rang at this moment. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Jian Liangtong closed her eyes, reached out with force to wipe her eyes, picked up the bag she had placed aside, unzipped it somewhat flusteredly, her fingertip trembling as she took out the phone, stood up, and turned aside to answer, "Hello."
The voice that came out of Jian Liangtong was so hoarse it was almost indistinguishable from her original voice.
"What happened?"
The other end suddenly paused, then said in a deep voice.
"..." Jian Liangtong took down the phone to look at it, only to realize it was from Huo Shaojun.
Jian Liangtong gripped the phone tightly, trying hard to suppress the tears that constantly welled up in her eyes.
But it wasn’t possible.
Unwilling to expose her disheveled state in front of him.
So Jian Liangtong ended the call and directly turned off the phone.
"Tongtong."
He Xinyun’s hoarse voice came from behind.
Jian Liangtong clenched her palm tighter, turned to look at her.
He Xinyun stood up from the sofa, reached out to hold Jian Liangtong’s hand, and in a matter of tens of seconds, her emotions seemed to have calmed down significantly.
"Mom was a bit out of control just now." He Xinyun reached out tenderly to tuck a stray hair floating on Jian Liangtong’s cheek behind her ear, apologetically said.
Jian Liangtong’s tears overflowed, "Sorry Mom, I don’t want to waste another six years. I... I still like him."
She finally admitted it.
In her heart’s depths.
She still loves him.
She only no longer feels so fearless, charging ahead without regard.
She’s afraid now.
Afraid this love will hurt her again, hurt her family.
So she’s been constantly lying to herself, persuading herself in her heart.
She doesn’t love him, she doesn’t love him anymore!
She thought that if she said it enough, she truly wouldn’t love anymore.
But the truth is not like that.
Love is love, it may deceive everyone, but not herself.
He Xinyun’s throat choked up, she hugged her and gently patted her back.
"Mom, I’m sorry to you and Dad. I’ve owed you my whole life. I’m sorry, really sorry..." Jian Liangtong was sobbing uncontrollably, the sadness inside her catalyzed to its peak.
He Xinyun closed her eyes, gently stroking Jian Liangtong’s head, "You are Daddy and Mommy’s most beloved daughter, always will be. No matter what decision you make, Daddy and Mommy support you."
"I’m sorry."
Besides saying sorry, Jian Liangtong didn’t know how to express the swelling guilt and sadness in her heart.
...
When the doorbell rang, Jian Liangtong had just come out of He Xinyun’s room.
Thinking it was Jian Ningfeng returning with groceries, Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, patted her face, walked to the door, and opened it.
"Dad..."
When her gaze fell on the man standing at the door in military uniform, Jian Liangtong’s voice abruptly stopped, her red lips parted slightly, her eyes full of astonishment.
Huo Shaojun’s stern face was tense, his cold eyes staring deeply at Jian Liangtong’s red, swollen, and tear-filled eyes, his fists beside him clenched tighter.
"...you, you." Jian Liangtong was so shocked she was speechless.
Wasn’t he supposed to be in the army right now?
Moreover, it had only been less than an hour since they last talked, he...
"What’s going on?" Huo Shaojun’s face was terrifyingly dark.
Jian Liangtong moved her lips.
...
Jian Liangtong did not hide anything, telling him everything that happened in the past few days.
After she finished, Jian Liangtong pressed her lips together, looking at him, with lingering anguish in her clear eyes.
Every line on Huo Shaojun’s face was tightly strained, his cold eyes narrowed fiercely, emitting such a chilling aura that could freeze anyone near him.
"I originally wanted to let them enjoy themselves for a few more days, but since they’re so eager to court death, I’ll fulfill their wish!" Huo Shaojun said grimly.
Them?
Jian Liangtong looked at him in confusion, "You know who it is?"
Huo Shaojun’s thin lips tightened, he glanced at Jian Liangtong without directly answering her, then asked, "How is Auntie now?"
"...A bit tired, resting in her room." Mentioning He Xinyun, Jian Liangtong’s voice lowered.
Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, staring deeply at Jian Liangtong, "And you?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes trembled slightly, looking at him.
Huo Shaojun walked in front of her, gently gripping Jian Liangtong’s shoulders with his broad hands, looking at her with flickering concern in his cold eyes, "Are you okay?"
Jian Liangtong’s clear eyes gradually welled up with a thin layer of moisture, pressing her lips together, she shook her head lightly at him, "They haven’t directly done anything to me yet, so, I’m okay."
Huo Shaojun’s heart was in immense pain, he suddenly pulled Jian Liangtong into his arms, "Fool."
If they had targeted her directly, perhaps she wouldn’t be so heartbroken and sad now.
It was precisely because they targeted her family, the people she cared about the most, that she felt more pained and guilty than if she had been wronged or bullied herself.
...
When Jian Ningfeng returned home, Huo Shaojun had already left.
Jian Liangtong almost felt it was all an illusion, as if he had never really been here at all.
Jian Ningfeng was unaware of the incident at the neighborhood committee in the morning, and He Xinyun had deliberately instructed her not to tell Jian Ningfeng.
So when Jian Ningfeng got home, finding out that He Xinyun had taken leave and was resting in her room, he merely thought she was feeling unwell.
He hadn’t even taken a break after returning home, he immediately went to the room to show He Xinyun all kinds of care.
Jian Liangtong stood in the living room, listening to Jian Ningfeng’s concerned words coming from the room, feeling a sense of warmth in her heart.
...
In front of the suite door at Jue Shi Hotel.
Song Yun, all dolled up, stood at the door, her palms sweating with nervousness, yet her eyes gazing at the hotel room number couldn’t hide her joy and excitement.
Afternoon.
She had suddenly received a call from Huo Shaojun, which was enough to make her deliriously happy.
He said he wanted to meet her, and it was at a hotel...
What did this mean?
Song Yun bit her lip, holding her breath slightly, and reached up to press the doorbell.
