Chapter 184 – Grandfather He Forgot To Take His Medicine
"Lanlan"
The deep voice fell in Mo Roulan's ear but her eyes still remained indifferent.
"Where are you going?"
He Jian asked gently as he forcefully dragged Mo Roulan a step back so that she was standing in front of him.
After facing so much humiliation, Mo Roulan's heart was very cold. So cold that even He Jian could not warm it with his gentleness.
Her self-respect …. She had treasured it in her present life but it had been torn into shreds quite a lot of times …just because of the man standing in front of her.
"I am leaving." She answered indifferently.
"Why?"
Another question came filling Mo Roulan's heart with annoyance.
She couldn't control herself from saying her next words harshly.
"So what should I do? Stay here to see how your grandfather will ruin me and my family."
Although He Jian had stepped inside the room stopping Grandfather He amidst his words, Mo Roulan knew very clearly what his next words would have been if he was given a chance to finish them.
The anger and helplessness filled her heart suddenly and she looked down at the floor as she breathed deeply to calm down her anger.
Amidst doing this, she couldn't see He Jian's cold blue eyes fixed on the old man sitting on the chair behind Mo Roulan.
Grandfather He sat there shocked as he saw his grandson talking so gently with the young girl named 'Mo Roulan'.
Never in his life had he thought that his grandson could behave so gentle with anyone.
That was the only reason he stepped forward and took the reins of He Jian's marriage in his own hands. He thought if he didn't start now then his grandson would never marry in his life with the cold demeanor he had.
His grandson doesn't even look at the girls so Grandfather He was worried as to what will happen if he didn't do anything.
One girl …he finally behaved like a gentleman with one girl but why that girl has to be Mo Roulan only.
Grandfather He could not help but look at his grandson with disappointment.
Didn't he learn anything from his father?
However, that disappointment was soon replaced with nervousness when He Jian looked at him with his cold blue eyes.
"I had told you not to do anything stupid but you have sworn to not listen to me."
From his behind, he heard Butler Zhang's words, and Grandfather He's nervousness was replaced by anger.
Why the h**l he was feeling afraid?
He was the head of He family …older than this stinky grandson of him. He ruled the family and whatever he said was the eternal truth for its members.
So with this new courage, Grandfather He regained the coldness in his eyes and said
"Jian, I order you to not interfere in Miss Mo's life in the future. If you want to repay her, then just give her some financial help."
Grandfather He looked very firm and cold from outside but only Butler Zhang could see the old man's clenched fists.
Both of them saw how He Jian didn't even respond to Grandfather He's words and then he glanced at the check placed on the table.
A note of hundred Yuan instantly attracted his attention and he signed Chu Feng to pick it up.
As Grandfather He watched this, he felt very furious by He Jian's ignorance towards himself.
He was about to open his mouth and scold hiss stinky grandson when He Jian looked at him suddenly and asked
"Old man, did you take your medicine today?"
He Jian had a frown on his forehead as he looked at his speechless grandfather.
Grandfather He, on the other hand, was completely diverted from the fact that he was about to scold his grandson a few seconds before.
At this moment, he looked at his grandson with a confused face.
What medicine he was talking about?
Even Butler Zhang was looking at He Jian with a confused face.
However, He Jian ignored the confused face of the old man. He, instead looked at Mo Roulan who was also looking at him as if trying to understand the meaning behind his words.
The black-brown eyes fixed on him, a frown on the smooth forehead…it looked like she was still very angry.
He suddenly raised his hand to pat the young girl's head while his other hand still held Mo Roulan's hand.
A little bit of gentleness appeared in his eyes as he said with a straight face.
"The old man has some problem with his mind. Don't mind him. When he forgets to take his medicine, he starts to do some unreasonable things."
"Oh…"
Mo Roulan whispered as she turned her head a little to look at the old man sitting at the chair silently. Her black-brown eyes were suddenly filled with sympathy.
Grandfather He surely noticed it as his face soon started to become red with anger.
He glared at He Jian furiously and pointed his finger at him while shouting.
"You b****d, how dare you …"
Standing behind Grandfather He, Butler Zhang shook his head and sighed.
The old man was just proving Young Master He's words true with his words.
And Butler Zhang was very right.
When Grandfather He called He Jian a b***d, Mo Roulan suddenly started to believe He Jian more firmly.
Anyways, He Jian never lied to her in her past life. In fact, she had never seen him lying to anyone. He had always been very blunt and straightforward.
So the anger that Mo Roulan had inside her heart for the old man vanished a little bit.
Now she couldn't remain angry at some sick old man who forgot to take his medicine and started to do some unreasonable things.
However, Grandfather He's words were still very clear in Mo Roulan's mind.
Perhaps he said too much because of sickness but somewhere he was too genuine like when he talked about He Jian and Shen Yiling's fixed marriage that was almost at the breaking point because of her.
As Mo Roulan remained lost in her thoughts, He Jian glanced at Butler Zhang and said
"Butler Zhang, give the medicine to Grandfather as soon as possible."
Butler Zhang immediately understood He Jian's words and said
"Yes, Young Master."
Grandfather He was left furious by his old butler's active response and glared at him angrily. His attention was shifted from He Jian and taking the advantage of this fact, He Jian took Mo Roulan out of her room.
But Mo Roulan suddenly tried to pull her hand out of He Jian's hold when they were at the door of the room.
He Jian frowned but did as she wanted.
He stood in her way completely blocking her as if he had expected her to run away any moment.
However, she just turned around and bowed her head, and said apologetically.
"I apologize for my earlier behavior, Grandfather He. Please forgive me. I should have been respectful remembering your old age."
She then raised her head and looked at Grandfather He.
"However you should also not do any such thing in the future. I don't have any intentions on Mr. He …in the way you think. I am just a very ordinary girl who wants to keep her family safe and happy. I never want Mr. He to repay me with anything and I would never complain if he stopped helping me in the future whenever I am in trouble. When I had gone to free him inside that room five years ago, in front of my eyes was a boy in slightly torn clothes. I had never known his background."
Mo Roulan swallowed a little.
All these things she wanted to scream in her past life at those people who mocked her saying that she saved He Jian because he was a rich boy of some noble family.
"When I stepped inside City H, even then I didn't know that the boy I had saved five years ago was from a rich family like He family. I just … I just came to study in University C because my mother wanted me to do so."
Mo Roulan said
Remembering all this, Mo Roulan suddenly regretted coming to City H.
City H… she had thought that she would not meet He Jian here because he would be in City S. However when had she thought that her fate would play with her like this?
"Lanlan, Grandfather just said those words because he didn't take his medicine."
From her behind, Mo Roulan heard He Jian's words but she shook her head softly and sighed.
In her mind, Mo Roulan was thinking that everything happens because of some reason.
Perhaps Grandfather He might really have some illness, but he did all this because he had all this in his mind from very long ago and she didn't like it even a bit.
After that, she just turned around and tried to step out of the room. With a frown on his forehead, He Jian stepped sideways.
In his ears, rang the words.
'I don't have any intentions on Mr. He …in the way you think.'
A little bit of irritation flashed in his eyes because he didn't even know why he was so bothered by those words.
