Chapter 205 – What Does Mr. And Mrs. Zhu Want
When Mo Chen came back to the dining room with Zhu Jiangru, Mo Roulan could no longer stay inside Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's house.
She stood up from the table and said without any hesitation.
"I am not feeling well. Mom, can we leave now?"
The dining room went silent at her sudden words.
Mo Roulan knew that she perhaps might have sounded a little rude while saying this but she didn't care at all.
If she remained there for a few more moments then she thought that she would go crazy.
The fact that Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong had actually their own son was eating her inside and outside, She couldn't find a single reason behind this change in this life.
Her rebirth could not make a childless pair have their own child. It sounded ridiculous.
The whole matter felt a little fishy to Mo Roulan but she couldn't find anything even after she wanted all her mind thinking on this matter during this whole dinner.
So the best option she found was going away from them with her family as soon as possible.
"Roulan, are you alright? What happened suddenly?"
Lin Qianru was worried about her daughter when she noticed that she had not even finished the food on her plate.
Mo Chen was also worried and immediately went to stand beside his sister.
His small hand went to hold her hand as he looked at her face with his black-brown grapes-like eyes that were a little wide as if he was worried that his sister was feeling dizzy and she would fall suddenly.
Mo Roulan felt her heart going soft but she had maintained the exhaustion on her face as she told her mother
"Mom, I am feeling tired. I want to go and rest."
Lin Qianru instantly felt guilty after she heard her daughter's words.
She had clearly promised her daughter that they would not spend much time in Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's house but she could not even complete a single promise of hers.
She glanced at the only clock inside the dining room and was again disappointed in herself.
About an hour had passed already and she was still chatting here with Xun Weilan and her husband.
Perhaps it was because she didn't get to anyone to talk with for so many days so she felt refreshed after conversing with someone who had something common to talk about.
The past few days, she was at home as Chi Rong had gone to some foreign and she had been feeling very lonely in her children's absence. Hence she didn't even get to know when the time passed like the wind while talking with Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong.
Still, Lin Qinaru felt guilty and immediately stood up from the chair she was sitting on.
She smiled at Xun Weilan apologetically but Xun Weilan waved her hand saying that she understands.
After that, Lin Qinaru left Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's apartment with Mo Roulan and Mo Chen.
Xun Weilan and her husband came to the door to send them off.
As Mo Roulan filled in the password and let Lin Qianru and Mo Chen first inside the house, Xun Weilan continued to stand at the door of her apartment. She stood there until Mo Roulan didn't get inside and the doors get closed.
"What are you standing here for?"
From her behind, she heard her husband asking her.
Xun Weilan sighed heavily and her eyes were filled with fear and pain as she whispered
"The girl seems a little sharp and clever."
Zhu Jidong frowned at his wife's words as he didn't feel any such thing but he dare not distrust his wife.
He put his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead softly as he reassured her.
"Don't worry. I promise you that we will get what we want no matter how clever she is."
Xun Weilan felt her heart getting relaxed at her husband's words and finally closed the door of her apartment.

On the other hand, Mo Roulan was currently inside her room.
Lying on her bed, she stared at the ceiling with blank eyes.
A moment later, she suddenly sat up on the bed and picked up her phone from the bedside table.
She found a number and immediately dialed it.
She waited and waited …but the call didn't go through.
A few moments later, Mo Roulan ended the call and sighed heavily while staring at the number.
On the screen, the name of the person could be read very clearly.
'Mr. He'
Mo Roulan bit her lips as she thought if she should try He Jian's number again. As she thought this, her hands had already got ready to dial the number on the screen again.
However, she stopped at the last moment.
What will she say to He Jian?
Investigate the new neighbors for me.
Even if she successfully asked him to do this, what will she say if he asked her the reason behind her sudden request?
She couldn't just ask him to investigate someone without any reason.
And she also couldn't tell him why she wanted to investigate Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong.
Mo Roulan suddenly felt very frustrated with her current situation.
Her head ached terribly and she again lied down on the bed with a heavy sigh.
She didn't know what she should think after suddenly coming to know that Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong had their own child.
Did they also have a child in her past life?
No…Xun Weilan would not lie to the head of the orphanage right?
And if they already had a son, then why would they adopt Mo Chen?
Mo Roulan could not find any starting and any ending of Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong's thoughts.
She again climbed out of her bed and went out of her room.
Adjacent to her room, there was another room.
Mo Roulan slowly opened the door and went inside.
On the bed, she could see a small bundle under the blankets.
She didn't dare to make any noise as she walked towards the bed.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, she uncovered her brother's face with a frown on her forehead. She had thought that Mo Chen had already dropped the habit of covering his face while sleeping but it seems that it was not true.
She gently stroked his face as she promised her brother for the umpteenth time in this life.
"Chenchen, Jiejie will not let you go anywhere this time. Jiejie will never abandon you."
Looking at her brother's face, she suddenly wished that all of this was just her baseless fear.
