Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 316 - 305: What Are Your Plans

"Speak!" Mu Qinnian pressed his eyebrows tightly, giving a low scold.

"Uh..." Jin Jumo’s slender fingers gripped the phone, "Today I went to the theater to audition for the leading lady in a play. The director said there was a scene in the script where the leading lady gets slapped, and wanted me and other actors to improvise to see if I’m really suited for the role. Because the actor got too involved in the performance, they didn’t control their strength well when slapping me, and that’s how it happened."

Jin Jumo spoke very calmly, every line on her face, even every eyelash, exuded sincerity, showing no signs of lying or making up stories.

Mu Qinnian stared deeply at her face, his thin lips pressed tightly, and after she finished speaking, he remained silent, just looking at her.

Jin Jumo calmly raised her eyes to look at him, her peach blossom eyes without a hint of evasion or unnaturalness.

Only then did Mu Qinnian narrow his eyes and softly snort, "You’re quite a good actor!"

Jin Jumo, "Uh..."

Mu Qinnian turned his face, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

He didn’t speak, and naturally Jin Jumo didn’t open her mouth either, because she knew well that saying one more word at this time would increase the risk of revealing a flaw.

The two siblings just sat in the car, neither speaking for a long time.

"Silly girl, doing this, how can brother be at ease leaving you here!"

Suddenly, Mu Qinnian murmured as if with a low sigh.

Jin Jumo’s eyelashes lightly trembled, looking at Mu Qinnian.

Mu Qinnian turned his gaze to stare at Jin Jumo, with obvious compassion in his eyes, reached out to gently stroke her long hair, and said softly, "Brother has some matters, will visit you another day."

Jin Jumo looked at him for a while before slowly nodding, opening the car door and getting out.

Standing by the roadside, Jin Jumo watched Mu Qinnian’s car drive away, her eyes falling into contemplation.

The sudden ring of her phone pulled her thoughts back.

Jin Jumo took out her phone and, seeing the large flashing words "Dear Husband" on the screen, a feeling of heaviness suddenly settled in her heart.

After a while, Jin Jumo put the phone to her ear and answered, "Rong Mochen, don’t mind about my brother just now."

"Later, I’ll pick up Xixi Hanhan." Rong Mochen replied.

Jin Jumo’s throat paused, "Alright, then I’ll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner."

"Hmm."

After Rong Mochen responded softly, both of them fell into silence simultaneously.

Jin Jumo didn’t know what to say, yet she didn’t want to end the call either. She thought he probably felt the same.

"Little Mo." He suddenly called her.

"...Hmm?"

"Trust me."

Jin Jumo’s fingers slightly tightened, "Hmm," she replied after a while.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Jumo turned around and walked towards the car.

She hadn’t walked but a few steps when she suddenly stopped and looked across the road.

By a simple black car, an elderly man wearing a light-colored Tang suit stood with a cane, his posture as robust as a young man’s, his sharp eyes fixed on her.

Jin Jumo’s breath suddenly caught.

Very quickly, Jin Jumo squinted her eyes slightly and curled her lips into a smile as she walked across the road.

Arriving in front of the old man, Jin Jumo smiled gracefully and said, "Grandpa Rong, long time no see."

Rong Zhengfeng’s tiger eyes narrowed, "Walk with me."

"Alright." Jin Jumo replied without hesitation.

Rong Zhengfeng couldn’t help but look at her again before turning and walking along the path lined with greenery.

Jin Jumo followed him, keeping a two-step distance, but Rong Zhengfeng could see her with his peripheral vision.

They walked like this for nearly ten minutes before Rong Zhengfeng stopped.

Jin Jumo also halted, looking at Rong Zhengfeng.

Rong Zhengfeng turned sideways, his authoritative eyes examining Jin Jumo, his voice stern, "What do you want from Mochen?"

Jin Jumo’s eyes slightly contracted, she laughed, "I don’t want anything."

"Using a car accident to leave him four years ago, disappearing without a trace for four years, but then suddenly reappearing by his side four years later, don’t say everything is a misunderstanding, coincidence, or even laughable fate!" Rong Zhengfeng’s words were sharp and cold, his eyes fixed fiercely on Jin Jumo as if trying to see her intentions through her face or eyes.

Jin Jumo looked at Rong Zhengfeng and didn’t offer much explanation, smiling after a while.

Rong Zhengfeng was instantly provoked by Jin Jumo’s expression, feeling mocked, he frowned displeasedly, his voice even more severe, "Why are you laughing?"

Jin Jumo shook her head, "Because as you said, all of this is indeed a misunderstanding, coincidence, hmm, fate. And you’ve already assumed it’s an excuse, a plot, ill intentions. So what’s the use of disputing with you, hence..."

Rong Zhengfeng snorted, "Smooth talker."

Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow and simply stopped talking.

Seeing her fall silent, Rong Zhengfeng was still displeased, with a sullen face, he asked, "What are your plans? Do you intend to marry Mo Chen?"

Marriage...

Jin Jumo’s brow slightly furrowed, the movement so subtle, yet Rong Zhengfeng noticed it.

Rong Zhengfeng automatically interpreted her frown as unwillingness, even the idea of not wanting to marry Rong Mochen.

The displeasure inside him suddenly multiplied countless times, as he coldly snorted to himself, his second grandson is wealthy, influential, and talented. If you’re not eager to marry him, are you aiming for the sky?

"You, you’re not suitable with Mo Chen! Break up, you must break up!" Rong Zhengfeng glared at Jin Jumo.

Watching Rong Zhengfeng, Jin Jumo would be lying to herself if she said she felt nothing.

She took a deep breath and looked at Rong Zhengfeng with clear eyes, "Grandpa Rong, I truly want to be together with Rong Mochen. If breaking up is your wish for me, I’m sorry but I can’t comply."

She paused, Jin Jumo continued with a smirk, "If you really want me and Rong Mochen to break up, you should work on Rong Mochen and let him come to me to say we should separate. As long as he tells me he doesn’t want me, I’ll leave without hesitation, and I won’t cling!"

Rong Zhengfeng stared at Jin Jumo’s calm and earnest face; his threatening and harsh words seemed to be blocked by a giant cork stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.

"Grandpa Rong, there’s a nice tea restaurant not far from here, why don’t I accompany you for a sit?" Jin Jumo suggested.

Rong Zhengfeng was taken aback, "You’re willing to sit with me?"

In today’s fast-paced life of young people, it’s rare for them to have the patience to sit idly with the elderly, which is why he rarely seeks out Rong Mochen and Rong Sinan, fearing to see reluctance and impatience on their faces.

Yet unexpectedly, Jin Jumo offered to sit with him on her own.

Jin Jumo smiled, "Of course I’m willing, I used to often accompany my grandpa for tea."

Hearing her mention Jin Jiancheng, Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes flickered slightly, seeing Jin Jumo’s unconcerned expression when mentioning Jin Jiancheng left an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Rong Zhengfeng pursed his lips, saying, "Let’s leave it for another day, not today." After a pause, he suddenly glared fiercely at Jin Jumo again, "Hmph, don’t think this means I approve of you and Mo Chen!"

"I didn’t think that way." Jin Jumo said.

Hearing her words, as if she didn’t care whether he agreed with her and Rong Mochen being together or not, felt like being scratched fiercely by sharp claws in his heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Rong Zhengfeng glared at Jin Jumo for a long while, then suddenly turned around, leaning on his walking stick, angrily storming off. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Leaving Jin Jumo standing there bewildered.

When Rong Mochen returned to the apartment with Xixi and Hanhan, Jin Jumo had just returned from grocery shopping not long ago, busy putting the bought ingredients into the fridge.

"Mommy."

"Mom."

Xixi and Hanhan called out simultaneously.

Jin Jumo smiled, closing the fridge door, she looked at Xixi and Hanhan, "You’re back."

"Mommy, I want to learn to dance." Xixi pouted, flailing her little chubby arms as she approached Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo was stunned, looking at Xixi curiously, "But didn’t you dislike dancing, Xixi?"

"I don’t like it."

Xixi frowned her little brow, saying seriously, "I just want to learn it."

Not liking it but wanting to learn?

Jin Jumo was a bit puzzled and looked towards Hanhan for an explanation.

Hanhan pretended to be serious, pursing his little mouth, but his shiny, black eyes were clearly holding back laughter.

Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow and asked Xixi, "Then Xixi, tell Mommy, why do you want to learn?"

Xixi stood in front of Jin Jumo, tilting her little head back to look up at Jin Jumo, her tiny voice particularly upset, "It’s almost the Children’s Day performance, and the teacher wants to select a few kids from the class to dance. Many girls in the class were chosen. The teacher usually likes me a lot, but not this time. Yuyu says it’s because I’m too chubby and clumsy, and dancing would look bad, so the teacher didn’t pick me. I hate Yuyu; she often calls me fat."

Xixi’s face turned into a little unhappy expression, with her little eyebrows wrinkling like caterpillars, "It makes me so mad!"

Jin Jumo’s mouth twitched as she glanced at a certain someone.

Rong Mochen’s lips were curved with a smile, his gaze indulgent as he looked at Xixi, his voice gentle, "Daddy will find a dance teacher for Xixi tomorrow, solely to teach Xixi how to dance."

"Really?" Xixi turned back, looking at Rong Mochen with delight.

Rong Mochen nodded.

"Daddy is the best." Xixi bounced happily to Rong Mochen, hugging his leg tightly, looking up at him with wide, satisfied eyes, smiling silly.

Rong Mochen gently patted Xixi’s little head, "Tomorrow, Xixi can sign up with a teacher, and on Children’s Day, Xixi will perform on stage."

"Okay, okay."

Xixi nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining, as if envisioning herself on stage, performing proudly and making that Yuyu jealous.
