Chapter 239 – “Lanlan Deserves The Best”
He Jian was coldly staring at Fang Zhihan while the other man had a sly smile on his lips as if he had solved the puzzle anyone in this world couldn't solve.
Even He Jian couldn't help but feel speechless after hearing Fang Zhihan's words.
A moment later, he suddenly said coldly
"Don't spout rubbish. No one will think that you are dumb if you won't speak."
Saying this, He Jian was about to pass Fang Zhihan when Fang Zhihan suddenly blocked his way and asked with a serious face.
"Oh…so you mean that your girl, I mean, Mo Roulan doesn't mean anything to you other than being your savior, right?"
Fang Zhihan scoffed and even before He Jian could answer his question and said
"Then why did you run all the way to the Cheng Mansion just because I told you that there was a high chance that Cheng Yang would be proposing your girl that day? Why are you so bothered when that Cheng boy tries to get close to Mo Roulan? If she is only your savior in your eyes then Jian you shouldn't feel anything like this. You actually lo…"
"Zhihan"
He Jian cut Fang Zhihan amidst his words sharply.
His blue eyes were icy cold as he continued.
"Keep your words in check. An emotion like love is just an illusion and I live in reality. It doesn't even exist so why would I feel something that doesn't even exist in this world. Lanlan is young. She has ambitions. I just don't want her to stray away because of this stupid young love."
Fang Zhihan completely went silent when he heard all these logical and reasonable excuses from He Jian's side that he used to hide his feelings for Mo Roulan.
He pressed his temples as he heard He Jian continuing.
"She will achieve everything she wishes to achieve as long as I am alive. That Cheng boy …he doesn't deserve her. My Lanlan deserves someone better than him…the best in this world."
After saying these words, He Jian glanced at Fang Zhihan for one last time before leaving away from there indifferently.
Left alone outside Mo Roulan's words, Fang Zhihan sighed helplessly.
He was actually not angry because of He Jian's cold and indifferent behavior towards him. He was just helpless because he couldn't even feel angry at that cold man.
How could he feel angry?
He knew that He Jian had always been like this. In fact, he should have already expected answers like this when he had started to talk.
He Jian didn't accept the existence of an emotion like love when he was already experiencing this. However, could he blame her for that?
It was his own way of dealing with everything he had faced since his childhood.
He Jian's mother had left him when he was young and He Jian's father, He Zhuang changed very much after his mother's departure. The cold and indifferent father made his son also a cold and indifferent man…a man who no longer believed anything until he comes across the evidence of that thing.
However, after knowing all this, Fang Zhihan only felt pity and sympathy for Mo Roulan.
He Jian liked her but he didn't know it. However, he was very powerful to control Mo Roulan's life according to his will without even Mo Roulan being known about it.
That day, He Jian ruined the first confession that Mo Roulan would have had in her college life because he didn't think that Cheng Yang was a nice choice of Mo Roulan.
However, the truth was that he just didn't like the thought of Cheng Yang confessing to Mo Roulan.
Fang Zhihan wondered what all other things would be ruined until He Jian would come to accept his feelings.

On the other hand, He Jian was currently sitting in front of his grandfather inside the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, Grandfather He only thought that his stinky grandson was again here to ask him what exactly he does during the whole day.
In other words, he was here to prove himself right.
Grandfather He felt very angry thinking this and started to speak without thinking anything.
"Stinky boy, you can't just talk like that about me in front of someone else. I am your grandfather. So what if I am sitting idly the whole day. I have done more work than you when I was at your age. It is my right to sit idly when I am old. I have built such a huge empire for you and your father to take care of. Isn't that already enough?"
Grandfather He was very satisfied with his words. He couldn't help but glance at his butler proudly who also couldn't help but agree with his words this time.
The old man had really worked hard when he was young. He had witnessed it with his own eyes. However, saying that he had built that huge empire by himself …wasn't he exaggerating by saying things like this?
He didn't build anything. He just managed what his own father had left for him.
However, Butler Zhang knew that even He Jian knew about this and hence was only looking at the old man with a bored expression on his face.
A moment later, He Jian suddenly asked the question that was completely in a different direction from what Grandfather He had thought.
"Why are you here today?"
And there went down Grandfather He's confidence.
He had actually thought of many words when he had decided to visit his grandson.
He had thought of the ways he would apologize to his cold grandson and then make him talk back to him. However, now his mountain-like ego suddenly seemed to be very big in front of all those practices he had done mentally.
In the end, Grandfather He couldn't help but start thinking.
Why should he even apologize?
He was just thinking and doing everything for this stinky boy's good!
