Chapter 181 – He Jian Was Going To Marry Shen Yiling?
When Grandfather He realized that he actually talked quite gently to the girl he wanted to push far away from his grandson, he was mortified.
His eyes went cold again as he looked at Mo Roulan.
He was right in the end.
All of these girls could win anyone's heart with their fake pretense in a few seconds. In the end, what they wanted was the money.
No wonder even his so intelligent son fell in that woman's trap.
He looked at Butler Zhang with a face that said 'Wasn't I right?'
However, Butler Zhang just shook his head helplessly seeing how his old man's eyes were filled with doubt and suspicion as he looked at the young girl.
He didn't find anything wrong with girl.
She really seemed to be very genuine when she greeted the old man. However his old man could find complain even in a pure diamond. So there was no surprise that he didn't believe this girl's genuineness at first sight.
"Master, I think you should ask her to have a seat,"
Butler Zhang whispered in Grandfather He's ear. His heart was unconsciously soft towards the girl knowing that she had saved their Young Master five years ago.
Butler Zhang had seen He Jian growing up in front of his eyes. So he naturally had a kind of affection for He Jian and every other family member of He family.
He sighed in relief when the old man listened to him and said to Mo Roulan.
"Sit, girl. I just want to have a small talk with you then you can leave."
Grandfather He said quite coldly.
This unusual coldness was sensed by Mo Roulan but she casually shook it away thinking that perhaps every member of He family was born like this.
She silently stepped forward and sat on the chair that was placed in front Grandfather He around the square table.
Inside her mind, Mo Roulan wondered what this talk will be about.
Her brain ran very fast in those few seconds but she couldn't find any topic that Grandfather He would like to talk about with her.
"Your name?"
Mo Roulan's eyebrows rose slightly when she heard the question. She knew that it was just an unnecessary question.
Since the 'kidnappers' knew her name then how was it possible that their master didn't know it.
Even Butler Zhang looked at the old man with confused eyes.
Was the old man trying to intimidate such a young girl? What will he get by doing this?
Mo Roulan looked at Grandfather He cold eyes at herself and frowned a little.
She didn't seem to have done anything wrong so she will not suffer wrongly or get intimidated by anyone.
With a very soft and polite smile on her lips, she answered the asked question.
"I am so sorry for not introducing myself. However, I thought since my abductors knew what my name is, so their master also must know it. Still, I will introduce myself. My name is Mo Roulan."
The private room went deathly silent after Mo Roulan's words.
Grandfather He's face instantly turned bitter after he heard Mo Roulan's words.
He looked at his men who stood there without any expression on their faces with their hands folded behind their back.
Damn, who had asked them to call the girl by her name?
"So what? Is it necessary for me to know your name if my men know it? I am not that free to remember these unnecessary names." said Grandfather He not wanting to accept defeat.
From his behind, came a scoff from Butler Zhang.
And from his front replied Mo Roulan politely.
"Sure, it is me who is mistaken."
The response was fine …very fine but Grandfather He still seemed to dislike it. And he actually didn't know what was wrong with it.
Was the girl mocking him?
However when he saw the serious face of Mo Roulan, he denied this thought quickly.
A moment later, Grandfather He cleared his throat quite loudly.
"Girl, let's just come to the point. This old man doesn't have much time to waste."
Mo Roulan squinted her eyes again at Grandfather He's cold voice and heard him continuing.
"I know that you saved my grandson five years ago and I am very grateful to you for that."
'It does not seem like that from your tone.' Butler Zhang thought inside his heart as he glared at the back of Grandfather He.
"My grandson also appreciates it very much and you also must know that." Grandfather He also continued and Mo Roulan lowered her head at these words.
She, of course, knew that. He appreciated that she saved his life but that appreciation will vanish away instantly when he will get to know the truth.
Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard Grandfather He's next words.
"After all, he did so much harm to Shen family for you." Said Grandfather He and Mo Roulan's whole body froze.
She looked at Grandfather He with a confused face who narrowed his eyes understanding that she didn't know about this matter at all and generously decided to enlighten her.
"Shen family…you might not know but it is one of the richest and powerful families of City H as well as City S."
She knew it but Mo Roulan remained silent as Grandfather He continued.
"The He family and Shen family have been friends for almost five decades now. However just because the daughter of Shen family filed a wrong complaint against you by mistake…that grandson of mine broke every professional relation with Shen family."
Mo Roulan's eyes went wide and her body hit the back of the chair.
It was a new discovery for her. She never knew that He Jian actually went against the Shen family for her.
A different kind of feeling emerged inside her heart instantly. Her heart started to beat very fast. However, that feeling was soon killed by Grandfather He mercilessly with his next words.
"The same Shen family…whose girl, Shen Yiling was going to marry my grandson."
