Chapter 248 – Protecting Mo Chen From Zhu Family
"Mo Roulan, tell me, what happened?"
Lin Qianru looked very serious now as she asked her crying daughter.
She couldn't help but get afraid thinking what exactly happened to make Mo Roulan cry so much.
Mo Roulan also didn't want to be the only one to know everything this time. She couldn't bear it. She wanted to let it out.
Fresh tears slid down her eyes as she said
"Mom…th..at …Xun We..ilan…she …she "
Lin Qinaru frowned when she understood what her daughter was saying.
"Xun Weilan, what did she do?"
"Did she say something to you?"
Mo Roulan was not in a state to say anything. She was crying too much and hence Lin Qianru could only understand a few words she said.
Hearing Xun Weilan, she couldn't help but make assumptions on her own.
"She came to our apartment many times a week ago but…"
Mo Roulan suddenly stopped crying when she heard these words. Her eyes went wide and she held her mother's shoulders firmly interrupting her amidst her words.
"Why did she come here? Did she do something, Mom?"
"Was Mo Chen also here then?"
Mo Roulan suddenly asked many questions. She was very scared. Her mother was too simple-minded. So she couldn't help but worry.
The next moment, her eyes went wide again and she asked seriously
"Mom, did she make you sign any papers …or anything else?"
Lin Qianru was confused when she heard all these questions. However, seeing Mo Roulan fear-filled eyes she answered her questions seriously.
"Roulan, I didn't even open the door. Haven't you asked me to stop meeting Zhu family? That's why no matter how many times she came t our apartment I never opened the door."
Mo Roulan was very relieved when she heard this.
She couldn't help but hug her mother.
"Thank you, Mom"
At least, this time her mother listened to her and really did what she had asked her.
Leaning back a little, Mo Roulan then wiped her face with her hands. Her hands were still trembling but she felt some calmness inside her heart.
She couldn't go weak now.
She was weak in her past life and hence let them do anything to Mo Chen but not in this life.
To do any harm to her brother, they would first have to go through her.
"Roulaan, no tell me what happened?"
Lin Qianru asked strictly.
"Is it something related to Zhu family?"
Lin Qianru couldn't help but frown when she asked this. She was filled with confusion.
Why was Mo Roulan so wary of Zhu family? She couldn't understand this at all.
Surprisingly, this time Mo Roulan didn't avoid her mother.
"Mom, I will tell you everything after lunch."
Lin Qianru sighed in relief. At least Mo Roulan didn't refuse.
After this, Mo Roulan turned to look at her brother. She ruffled Mo Chen's hair. Her eyes were still red and a little swollen so when she smiled it looked a little awkward.
However, Mo Chen was still happy that his sister had stopped crying and now was smiling again. Although it was not that bright, he will do something to make it brighter later.
Unaware of her brother's innocent and caring thought about herself, Mo Roulan looked at Mo Chen with a serious expression on her face and said
"Mo Chen, Jiejie knows that you listen to Jiejie very well and don't even lie to Jiejie, right?"
Mo Chen immediately nodded his little head.
"Good boy. Now tell me, did Zhu family tried to approach you in the past few days?"
Mo Roulan already knew what the answer would be, however what she wanted to know whether Mo Chen really tried to avoid Zhu family or not.
When Mo Chen nodded his head, Mo Roulan was not surprised but Lin Qianru was. She was now also starting to doubt Zhu family. Anyone would be able to understand after so much indifference that they didn't really want to involve themselves with Zhu family.
However, Zhu family was still trying to get closer to them.
If not through her, then through her son.
What purpose they could have behind doing all this?
Her heart sank a little and she had an intuition that everything was related to her son in some way. However, what could it be?
Lin Qinaru no matter how much tried to ponder over this, she would never have imagined in her dreams what she will come to know about later.
Her naïve mind didn't know that the people like Zhu family also existed in this world.
After the whole family had the lunch in not so a good atmosphere and Mo Chen went to his room, Mo Roulan finally told her mother everything.
And sure enough, Lin Qianru was shocked to the core.
She sat there unmoving on her chair as she stared at nothing in particular.
It was after a few moments later, she finally found her voice and said
"They actually …asked for such a thing."
Mo Roulan's eyes were also cold as she remembered whatever happened in the café.
"How could they…"
Lin Qinaru turned to look at Mo Roulan in disbelief.
"How could they even think that we will let them do such a thing to our Chenchen…in exchange for some money?"
Lin Qianru's heart was trembling as well as her body.
She was very angry …very angry for the second time in her life. The first time was when she had come to know that Su Mian had tried to sell Mo Roulan.
This time she was angry because someone was thinking of harming her son.
She was angry and scared to think that such people existed in this world.
A tear slid down her eyes as she whispered
"My Chenchen is so precious. I will never do this regardless of what they offer. How could they even… think that… we will let them…"
At the end of her words, Lin Qianru was crying because of her anger and fear.
Mo Roulan immediately walked to her mother and hugged her tightly.
As she stood there while patting the back of her mother's head who was sitting on the chair, she whispered
"It's alright, Mom. They won't be able to do anything."
Lin Qinaru was however too scared.
"Roulan, they suddenly came here. I think …that they came here only because of this purpose."
Mo Roulan also nodded her head.
"Roulan, file a complaint against them. Yes, we should do this. We will go immediately."
Lin Qianru was about to stand up from her chair as she said this. However, Mo Roulan stopped her mother with a helpless expression on her face.
"Mom, we can't do anything against them for now. We don't have any evidence against them."
Lin Qianru also sat down on the chair with a thump after hearing this.
Yes, they didn't have any evidence.
"It's okay, Mom. They want Mo Chen. We will not leave him alone. We will not give them any chance to get near him. In the end, they would give up by themselves."
Lin Qianru could only nod her head.
"Yes, we will do that."
And like this, Lin Qianru and Mo Roulan decided to protect Mo Chen from Zhu family in their own way.
