The truth is.
They disapproved of her being with him, not because she wasn’t excellent enough, but because they simply didn’t like her.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter how excellent she beca in the future,
if they didn’t like her, they would continue to dislike her.
Their view of her wouldn’t change no matter who she turned into.
Oftentis, prejudice is a strange and unfathomable thing!
Huo Family.
As soon as she entered the living room, Fang Jingting quickly asked Nanny Xu to pour water for Fang Duo, who was still angry.
Nanny Xu noticed the tense atmosphere and promptly brought the water and left the room.
"Dad, have so water." Fang Jingting, with red-rimd eyes, handed the cup to Fang Duo pleasingly.
Fang Duo glanced at Fang Jingting, took the water expressionlessly, but didn’t drink it, placing it back on the tea table with a thud.
Fang Jingting’s heart sank slightly, and she looked at Fang Duo nervously, "Dad, don’t be angry with Shao Yun, Shao Yun is now infatuated with that little girl from the Jian family, he’s not rational. Give it so ti, and he’ll naturally understand your intentions."
"Do you think he looks like soone who will co to his senses in a while?" Fang Duo frowned and stared at Fang Jingting.
Fang Jingting’s eyes reddened involuntarily, and she lightly rested her hand on his arm, "Dad, you need to have faith in Shao Yun."
But Fang Duo shook his head, "There’s no turning back, Shao Yun is not going to turn back."
"Dad." Fang Jingting sobbed.
Fang Duo sighed, reached out to pat Fang Jingting’s hand resting on his arm, looked ahead, and slowly said, "Actually, the last ti I saw that little girl at your place, I recognized her."
"...What?"
Fang Jingting was puzzled, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Fang Duo sighed again, "That little girl from the Jian family was beautiful since she was young, but a bit simple-minded. She didn’t seem like a clever girl, so I never liked her visiting Shao Yun."
"..." Fang Jingting was in a fog.
Fang Duo reminisced, "Shao Yun takes after the second child of the Jingyi family, he’s been introverted and indifferent since childhood. Even growing up with , Shao Yun wasn’t close to . Quite a cold kid."
Hearing Fang Duo say this.
Fang Jingting was unwilling to admit it, but she had to.
Because Huo Shaojun was not only distant from Fang Duo, he was also not close to her, his biological mother.
But fortunately, he treated her better than outsiders.
So Fang Jingting always deliberately ignored it.
"At that ti, Shao Yun suddenly got close to the Jian family’s little girl, and I thought it was a change in his temperant. But after a while, I realized that Shao Yun was only close to that girl; he was still the sa towards others. That’s when I sensed sothing was off.
Although that Jian girl was still young and I shouldn’t have thought that way, I did. So every ti she ca over, I especially disliked it. That girl, though foolish, had so insight and noticed I didn’t like her, so she didn’t dare co inside the house.
Every ti she looked for Shao Yun, she would wait at the door and let Hei Niu inside to find him. As soon as Shao Yun saw Hei Niu with a at bone or a rice cake in its mouth, he would co out of his room because he knew she was looking for him."
Fang Duo looked at Fang Jingting, "You might not believe it if I told you. Every ti Shao Yun saw that girl coming, his mood inexplicably improved, and this usually reticent person suddenly beca talkative. Isn’t that girl sothing special?"
Fang Jingting’s heart thumped wildly, and she frowned tightly, "Dad, are you saying Shao Yun has known that woman since they were little?"
Fang Duo sighed deeply, "You could say that."
"..."
Fang Jingting’s shoulders slumped, and a look of despair appeared on her face, "So, according to you, Shao Yun isn’t just mindlessly saying he wants to marry her; he’s genuinely invested."
Fang Duo remained silent.
Fang Jingting covered her face, her entire being feeling suffocated as if soone forcibly covered her mouth and nose, causing her to gasp for air in desperation, "Then there’s really nothing we can do. If Shao Yun insists on marrying her, we’re utterly powerless. We can’t possibly sever ties with him, can we?"
Fang Duo closed his eyes, his face betraying a sense of helplessness.
In the world, aside from a few truly selfish and ruthless parents, most eventually yield to their children’s persistence, constantly giving ground.
"Grandfather, Mother." A voice with a hint of roguishness suddenly interrupted.
Fang Jingting quickly wiped the tears from her face, put her hands down, and looked towards the door, her voice hoarse, "Cheng Jin, why are you back?"
Fang Duo also opened his eyes and looked at Huo Chengjin.
Upon seeing Huo Chengjin with his hands in his pockets, swaggering towards them, Fang Duo’s brows furrowed.
It was clear Fang Duo disapproved of Huo Chengjin’s deanor.
Huo Chengjin, seemingly oblivious, casually threw himself onto the seat next to Fang Duo, slung an arm around Fang Duo’s shoulder affectionately, and squinted at Fang Jingting with a grin, "Does a son need a reason to co ho?"
Fang Jingting’s eyes flashed slightly; she pursed her lips, her voice lowered, "Mom didn’t an it that way."
Huo Chengjin shrugged, tilted his head to look at Fang Duo’s tightly furrowed face, and smiled, "How’s your health, Grandpa?"
Fang Duo glanced at Huo Chengjin’s hand on his shoulder, suppressing his displeasure, and said, "Hmm."
Huo Chengjin nodded, leaning lazily against the sofa back, his head slightly lowered, and the fine bangs in front of his forehead half-covered his eyes. Suddenly, he said, "Actually, if you really don’t want my brother to marry Tongtong, there is indeed a way."
Fang Jingting and Fang Duo were startled, and for a while, they exchanged a glance, looking at Huo Chengjin with slight suspicion.
Huo Chengjin glanced at both of them from the corner of his eye and smirked, "Hmm, I accidentally overheard your conversation just now."
Fang Jingting, Fang Duo: "..."
Huo Chengjin raised his delicate chin and laughed indulgently, "I didn’t eavesdrop on purpose. You should have closed the door in advance when saying such things."
Fang Jingting and Fang Duo twitched their mouths.
"Do I need to close the door first when speaking with your grandfather? We’re just expressing our true thoughts; is there anything shaful about it? If you heard it, you heard it." Fang Jingting said.
Huo Chengjin lightly took a breath, leaning slightly against the sofa back, looking at Fang Jingting, "So, you really don’t want my brother to marry Tongtong at all?"
"Of course not! She’s not worthy of your brother." Fang Jingting said without hesitation.
"..."
Huo Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly, but the arc at the corner of his mouth deepened, "Mother is right, a woman like her certainly can’t match my outstanding brother in every aspect."
"Chengjin, do you really have a way to make your brother break up with that woman?" Fang Jingting sat up straight, looking at Huo Chengjin intensely.
Huo Chengjin looked at Fang Jingting’s extrely anxious face and nodded slowly, "Yes."
"What is it?" Fang Jingting asked.
Huo Chengjin raised an eyebrow, "Let marry Tongtong."
Fang Jingting and Fang Duo: "..."
"Ridiculous!"
Fang Duo snapped back from shock and imdiately shrugged off Huo Chengjin’s hand from his shoulder, angrily rebuking him.
Fang Jingting’s face swiftly turned from expectant to dark, staring at Huo Chengjin with extre displeasure, "Chengjin, at such a crucial ti, you’re still behaving frivolously. Are you trying to make and your grandfather even more troubled?"
"Mother, I’m not joking with you!"
Huo Chengjin crossed his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling, speaking softly with curled lips.
"Enough!" Fang Jingting glared at him impatiently, with a stern tone, "I don’t have ti to ss with your nonsense!"
The curve of Huo Chengjin’s lips quickly sank, he lowered his hands, and his long eyes focused intensely on Fang Jingting, his voice chillingly cold, "I said I wasn’t joking!"
Fang Jingting’s brow twitched twice in shock from his ominous tone, looking at him in disbelief.
Huo Chengjin’s expression turned serious, shedding his roguish and unruly deanor, scrutinizing Fang Jingting carefully, "I want to marry her!"
Fang Jingting tensed, her lips trembling several tis before she shakily shouted, "Are you crazy?"
"I’m more clear-headed than ever!" Huo Chengjin replied.
The stark seriousness in him was sothing Fang Jingting and Fang Duo had never seen before.
Fang Jingting and Fang Duo seed to both gasp.
Their gaze at Huo Chengjin was tinged with a thread of panic, as though they were looking at a ntally unstable patient!
Huo Chengjin squinted his eyes, completely ignoring Fang Jingting and Fang Duo’s shock, continuing in a deep voice, "If you don’t want my brother to marry her, just make sure she can’t marry my brother again."
Fang Jingting and Fang Duo looked at him, their expressions still in shock.
"Right now, my brother and her are deeply in love, and unless you use so ans, how can you tear them apart?" Huo Chengjin said, his tone cold.
Fang Jingting inhaled sharply, looking at him with an unfamiliar expression.
Huo Chengjin pulled his lips coldly, staring at Fang Jingting, "My brother is the future inheritor of the Huo Family. If he really marries the woman you call hopelessly stupid, he will spend a significant amount of energy just taking care of her. What more attention will he have to manage the Huo Family?"
Fang Jingting’s eyes flickered.
Huo Chengjin continued, "You probably don’t know, my brother is about to give up his beloved career in acting just to marry her."
"What?"
Fang Duo was shocked.
Fang Jingting’s eyes also widened suddenly.
Huo Chengjin squinted, "My brother has already asked Guan Yu to indefinitely postpone his work. Think about it, at this critical mont, why would my brother suddenly have his agent postpone his work? Is it not just to spare ti for marriage?"
Fang Jingting’s breath quickened, nodding, "Your brother had ntioned wanting to marry that girl before, but I didn’t think he would be so urgent; after all, the girl hasn’t graduated from college yet. I didn’t expect your brother to be so impatient."
Pausing, Fang Jingting looked helplessly at Fang Duo, "Dad, what do we do now? Should we really let them get married?"
Fang Duo furrowed his brow, remaining silent for a while, his face tense, glanced at Huo Chengjin, and said, "Chengjin’s words reminded . For those who accomplish great things, the biggest taboo is romance!
Shao Yun’s entire focus is now on the Jian Family girl. If we really let him marry the Jian Family girl, how will he focus on managing the Huo Family in the future? So, we absolutely must not let Shao Yun marry her!"
