Chapter 235 - The Truth Comes Out
Chapter 235 – The Truth Comes Out
The living room of Mo Roulan's apartment was deathly silent as both sides took in the scene in front of their eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
He Jian's cold voice broke this silence and everyone present in the living room came out of their trance.
It was Lin Qianru who first ran ahead and looked at her daughter in He Jian's with worry and concern in her eyes.
"Roulan, this …what happened?"
Her eyes went to the clothes of her daughter that looked completely soiled and her heart sank for a moment.
As if Mo Roulan sensed what her mother was thinking, she hurriedly assured her.
"Mom, it is nothing. I am fine. I just …fell while crossing the road."
Lin Qianru sighed but was still worried.
However, Mo Roulan could only try to assure her mother to this level. After that, her whole attention went to the other person present inside the room.
In fact, she was not the only person who was looking at that person but He Jian was also looking at this fourth person inside the room…too coldly.
Under these two pairs of eyes, Grandfather He suddenly felt very awkward.
However, he tried very hard to look righteous and asked He Jian with a grumble.
"Stinky boy, will you not greet your grandfather?"
Lin Qianru was startled when she heard Grandfather He calling He Jian like this. Not only she but even Mo Roulan thought for a moment that she has heard wrong.
Last time, He Jian never gave any chance to his grandfather to say anything so Mo Roulan never came to know that Grandfather He actually talk to He Jian like this.
Standing behind Grandfather He, Butler Zhang smiled awkwardly at Lin Qianru when he saw her shocked face.
Inside his heart, he couldn't help but think how good and peaceful his life would have been if he had gotten a sane master.
Grandfather He just wanted to look normal so he talked to He Jian like he talked every time with him.
However, this step of his was of no benefit. He Jian glanced at Lin Qianru for a moment and then asked politely
"Auntie, Can I take Lanlan to her room? Her foot is perhaps twisted a little due to the fall and she can't walk by herself."
In one sentence, he showed his gentlemanly self and explained to Lin Qianru why Mo Roulan was in his arms.
"Oh…"
Lin Qianru whispered to herself.
After hearing the reason, Lin Qianru was indeed very grateful to He Jian for helping her daughter in such a time.
She also felt thankful that He Jian dropped and picked her from the college otherwise how would her daughter have come home by herself.
"I thank you for your help, He Jian. I know my daughter, She is too stubborn to ask for help …even from his mother. "
Mo Roulan felt offended by her mother's remark and pouted a little.
"My phone was broken, Mother. I couldn't call anyone."
Lin Qianru moved her eyes to her daughter and smiled humorlessly.
"As if you would have called me if it was not."
Mo Roulan was left speechless by these words from her mother. She indeed had nothing to say in response, and Lin Qianru's lips were pressed in a thin line seeing this. This made Mo Roulan feel very bad.
Seeing this, He Jian couldn't help but defend her.
"Aunt, Lanlan just doesn't want you to worry."
Lin Qianru smiled sadly at these words. She knew it. However, as a mother, she thinks that she had the complete right to know if her daughter was in any trouble.
She also wished to be a part of her daughter's life.
At this moment, the doorbell rang and Lin Qianru came out of her trance.
She looked at He Jian and said gently
"Jian, can you take Mo Roulan to her room? I will come in a moment there…just after checking who is at the door."
"Sure, Auntie."
Lin Qianru nodded her head and then moved towards the door.
On the other hand, He Jian still stood at the same spot.
His blue eyes looked at Grandfather He with a warning as if saying that he should not say anything that can put him more in the trouble.
Grandfather He seemed to have understood his warning and smiled nervously as if trying to convey that he was not here to do anything bad. However, his eyes would still glance at Mo Roulan suspiciously every few moments.
Jian could even let this girl touch himself. He had her in his arms.
No wonder his son told him that this girl was special to He Jian and he better accept her before his own grandson disowns him.
So although he was wary of Mo Roulan, he still asked her as a concerned elder.
"Girl, did you get any grave injury? I think it would be better to have a throughout examination lest you face a big problem in the future."
Mo Roulan was startled to see Grandfather He's behavior. However, she couldn't ignore him as He Jian did so she responded politely.
"Garndfather He, I am alright. Please don't worry. I will be fine after resting for a few days."
Grandfather He nodded his head.
However, inside his heart he could help but compare Mo Roulan's behavior to the first time. It obviously had changed now.
Remembering how cutely the girl had greeted him then and how distant and politely she wa behaving at this moment, he suddenly felt a kind of depression forming inside his heart.
His mood became a little annoyed and he vented it on his butler who was now a little rested and hence no longer grumpy.
"Where is that Song boy? Doesn't he know that I need to have my medicine at this time?"
Grandfather He looked at He Jian from the corner of his eyes.
However, He Jian ignored his grandfather again.
He had just taken a step forward when a shout echoed in the living room.
"You!"
Everyone stopped amidst their actions and looked at the young driver of Grandfather He who had just stepped inside the room in confusion who stood there pointing his finger at Mo Roulan.
"You are that girl right? …who jumped in front of that huge truck to save that old woman."
The living room returned to being deathly silent.
