539: He Zhuang Dislikes Roulan

He Zhuang Dislikes Roulan

"Mom, here pack this as well. There might be cold there."

Mo Roulan passed the warm clothes to her mother. However, Chi Rong who saw this scene walked towards them and said gently.

"Roulan, I have arranged everything there. No need to carry so much luggage."

Lin Qianru heard this and nodded her head. 

She put aside the shawl unable to see the disappointment lurking in Mo Roulan's eyes. 

"Let me do it."

She watched as Chi Rong helped her mother. 

Was it unreasonable for her to feel so insecure seeing Chi Rong's care for her mother? A part of her heart was happy and another part was scared that her mother would get distant from them because of Chi Rong. 

It has been two days since they shifted to Chi Mansion but every day when she would see such scenes, she would feel the same fear.

And she could sense that Mo Chen was feeling the same. 

Perhaps every child feels this regardless of their age. 

With a sigh, Mo Roulan decided to leave the room. However, she was at the door when Chi Rong called her out. 

"Here, keep it, and don't hesitate to use it when you need to."

Mo Roulan looked at the black card that Chi Rong was passing to her blankly. She blinked a moment later and said politely 

"Uncle Chi, I have my savings with me. I don't need this."

However, Chi Rong seemed to have expected to hear something like this already. He held her hand and put it inside her palm as he said gently. 

"You and Mo Chen will be here without me and Qianru. You should have enough money. I am not asking you not to use your savings. In fact, I am very proud that you are so capable at such a young age. But I just want to ensure as a father that you wouldn't lack money whenever you need to buy something."

Chi Rong didn't realize how Mo Roulan was looking at him. Her throat was clogged and she lowered her head to hide her emotions as she heard Chi Rong continuing. 

"Go shopping with your friends and buy some new dresses. I would have taken you and Mo Chen but…"

Chi Rong stopped amidst his words and Mo Roulan said immediately composed herself. 

"It's alright. I and Chenchen understand."

Chi Rong sighed in relief. He smiled when he saw the smile on Lin Qianru's lips. Looking back at Mo Roulan, he said gently 

"You can tell Butler anything you need. Now go and sleep. It's not early."

Mo Roulan nodded her head and left the room. 

Perhaps it was not that difficult to get along with a stepfather. She smiled lightly on her way to her room.

The next morning, Chi Rong and Lin Qianru left for abroad. To Mo Roulan and Mo Chen, they just hinted that they were going on a trip to spend some time together but the truth was that Chi Rong took Lin Qianru to abroad for treatment. 

It took Lin Qianru a great effort to turn around and leave. She was very uncertain if she would be able to see her children again but she had to hide her tears and ask them take care of themselves. 

When they sat inside the airplane, she actually wanted to go back but Chi Rong held her back somehow.

In the end, she hugged him tightly as she cried. 

She really wished that God would give her some more years. Because she could sense that happiness was standing in her way with open arms. 

Unfortunately, her hands were tied with shackles and she could not embrace them.

He Jian raised his head when he heard the knock and said immediately.

"Come in."

His indifferent blue eyes flashed with joy when he saw Mo Roulan stepping inside the office. 

"Mr. He, did you call me?"

"Yes, I did."

He nodded his head and said 

"Come here."

Mo Roulan frowned in confusion and walked towards him. However, when she was halfway, He Jian walked toward her and suddenly hugged her. 

Startled, Mo Roulan tried to push him away. 

However, he didn't let her move and hugged her tightly. 

"Mr. He, this is office."

She said in a low voice that was filled with panic. However, He Jian was not ready to hear anything. 

Roaming his fingers in her hair, he whispered more likely to himself

"I missed you so much…these days I get to see you so less."

Mo Roulan felt her resistance melting at the sincerity she felt behind those words. However, when He Jian suddenly said next

"Lanlan, I want you to take me to He Mansion."

Her body went stiff. 

She didn't say anything for a long time making He Jian panic. He stroked her back lightly as he whispered 

"It's alright. Forget that I said anything."

Mo Roulan visibly relaxed at these words. After some time, a knock sounded on the door and she immediately stepped away from He Jian. 

He Jian's eyes were filled with annoyance and he said coldly

"Who is there?"

"Jian"

A voice came He Jian immediately walked to the door upon recognizing the voice.

"Dad"

He called out when he opened the door and saw his father standing outside.  1

Inside the office, Mo Roulan was stiff and thanked to god for He Zhuang at least knocked on the door. 

As He Jian led He Zhuang inside, Mo Roulan lowered her head and said 

"Mr. He, I will show you these designs later."

He Jian didn't want her to leave but he knew that she felt uncomfortable in his father's presence so he let her leave.

He Zhuang was surprised to see Mo Roulan inside. His eyes were slightly cold as he looked at the girl and then at his son. 

When she left, he was silent for a moment before he said 

"Shi Fengju called me."

A frown marred He Jian's forehead, when he heard this. 

"Why did he call you?"

Since what happened in the restaurant that day, he had blacklisted Shi Fengju number on his phone.  Anger flashed in He Jian's eyes when he heard his father's eyes. 

"He told me about Mo Roulan."

He Zhuang looked at his son silently for a few moments after saying these words. When he saw that He Jian was silent and looked stubborn, he said coldly but firmly 

"Jian, that girl can't enter He family."
