Coming Across An Old Friend
"Roulan, you are here!"
Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard the person's voice again.
It was none other than Shen Youlin. The surprise stayed only for a second before her eyes went cold and she pretended as if she didn't even see Shen Youlin.
Her colleague who saw the hurt flashing in Shen Youlin's eyes felt pity for the latter wondering why Mo Roulan was behaving with the girl like that.
"Gather the documents."
Mo Roulan said to her junior in a strict voice when she saw her attention wavering.
"There is no need to pay attention to irrelevant people."
Shen Youlin gasped when she heard the merciless words. Tears fell down from her eyes like a string and she immediately ran away from there.
Mo Roulan's face however stayed emotionless.
She had given her everything she could give in her friendship with Shen Youlin but what did she receive in return?
A betrayal!
She didn't care what reasons Shen Youlin had behind her doings. She would have rather preferred her coming to her and telling them about it.
But no! Shen Youlin chose to submit to Shen Yiling and betray her.
She was done with such people. She didn't need them around herself. She would rather prefer to stay without a friend.
When she and her junior had collected all the documents, they walked toward the hotel's entrance.
On reaching the entrance, Mo Roulan heard her phone ringing inside her purse. She held the file in one hand and with the other she tried to take her phone out.
It must be He Jian.
She thought. He called her almost every two or three hours later.
And she was not complaining.
Because somewhere she had started to accept his care and love.
In the end, even a cold heart could be melted by such love, care, and attention. But he was also the man whom she couldn't wipe out of her heart.
However, regarding returning the same love and care, Mo Roulan was still doubtful.
As Mo Roulan talked to He Jian, her junior tried to hire a taxi.
However, suddenly a car stopped in front of them.
Mo Roulan's head was lowered as she talked to He Jian so she didn't notice when a figure stepped out of the car and stopped in front of her.
"Miss Mo"
It was only then she raised her head and saw a girl standing in front of her.
"Can we talk?"
Mo Roulan frowned in confusion because she didn't recognize the girl at all.
"Lanlan…"
She came out of her thoughts when she heard He Jian's voice from the other side.
"Jian…I will talk to you later."
Saying this, she cut the call immediately and asked the girl.
"Do I know you?"
The girl tilted her head slightly as she looked at Mo Roulan. Mo Roulan didn't know if it was her illusion but she could see a trace of animosity in the girl's eyes.
Something which made her confused because she didn't even remember if she had met the girl before. Perhaps because she had only seen her two years in Shen Mansion and never really talked to her so she didn't remember her at all.
"I am Song Xinyi... CEO of Song family business."
Song Xinyi introduced herself.
She was wearing a top with ripped jeans.
All in all, she excuded a charm that even Mo Roulan's junior found charming. She couldn't help but look at the girl with a slightly parted mouth.
Song Xinyi however didn't look at her.
She looked at Mo Roulan who said indifferently.
"I am sorry, Miss Song. I don't remember even if I have met you before."
Mo Roulan was clearly saying that she didn't want to have any kind of talk with Song Xinyi.
Song Xinyi however smiled when she heard Mo Roulan's words.
Her eyes were filled with interest as well as slight annoyance. She knew very well that Mo Roulan knew about Song family but she was still refusing to go with her.
It's alright because she knew how to make Mo Roulan accept her proposal.
Suddenly, she leaned closer to Mo Roulan's ear making the latter startled but before Mo Roulan could even take a step back, Song Xinyi said in almost a whisper
"Don't you want to know what happened to He Jian after you died in your past life?"
Mo Roulan's body was completely still.
Her eyes were wide with shock as she stared at Song Xinyi full of disbelief.
How did she know…was she like her….
But who was Song Xinyi?
Even if Mo Roulan want she couldn't refuse Song Xinyi's offer now. She knew that if she left just like that then this thing wouldn't leave her mind so it was better to go and talk with Song Xinyi, right?
"I….let's talk."
She said in almost a whisper.
She still looked shocked when she said that.
It was only when her eyes went to her junior who looked confused that Mo Roulan composed herself hurriedly and said
"You can leave. I will come on my own."
The junior was still confused but nodded her head and left from there after hiring a taxi.
"Should we leave?"2
Song Xinyi asked coldly.
The change in her surprised Mo Roulan and she frowned at the question as well.
"Why do we need to go somewhere? We can talk here…or inside the restaurant."
However, Song Xinyi smiled mockingly when she heard this and said
"No! You will need to go with me and talk where I want. If you don't want to then you can leave."
Mo Roulan frowned and said honestly
"How can I assure myself that I will be safe with you?"
Song Xinyi chuckled when she heard that but seeing the cold expression on Mo Roulan's face, she rolled her eyes and said
"I am Shen Youlin's girlfriend and I love her a lot. I know how much she cares for you. I don't want to make my girlfriend upset by letting any harm come to you in my presence."
