Chapter 280 - Mo Roulan Meets Zhu Jiangru
Chapter 280 – Mo Roulan Meets Zhu Jiangru
Zhu Jidong and Xun Weilan got up from the bed after making sure their son understand this and that.
Zhu Jiangru just went silent after hearing his father's words.
Mo Roulan, on the other hand, seeing that they were about to exit the room staggered towards the nearby door that opened to a kitchen.
Not having any other choice, she just hid there.
On the other hand, inside the room, XunWeilan looked at her son with a worried expression on her face. She suddenly leaned down and took her son's face between her palms.
Staring into his innocent eyes, she said to him seriously
"Ruru, don't think too much about this matter, alright? Mo Chen and his family would be able to get all the things that they have never imagined to have after this transplant. Don't think that we are doing anything wrong. And Mom promises you that I and your dad will find the most healthy and suitable heart for him after he gets your heart."
Zhu Jiangru stared at her mother's worried face and nodded his head unconsciously.
However, inside his heart, he himself knew that Mo Chen would not be able to live for a long time if he got his heart replaced with him. His parents won't get enough time to look for another heart.
If they could really find another heart, then why would they have even done this?
XunWeilan and Zhu Jidong left Zhu Jiangru's room a few moments later.
Zhu Jiangruu continued to stare at nothing after his parents left. No one could guess what was going on inside his mind.
He only came out of his trance when he heard the sound of the door being opened again.
Thinking that it was his parents again, he composed his expression as he didn't want them to worry about him. However, his eyes went wide when he saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
"You…"
Zhu Jiangru whispered in shock.
"Don't shout. Please don't shout."
Mo Roulan said to Zhu Jiangru before she turned around to lock the door seeing that he didn't really try to shout or scream.
However, when she turned around and saw Zhu Jiangru cautious gaze on the iron rod in her hand, she said immediately.
"I won't harm you…"
Mo Roulan said seriously but then continued after some thought.
"Unless your parents harm my brother."
Zhu Jiangru's eyes were filled with confusion…especially when he saw Mo Roulan staggering towards himself.
He noticed that there was some cloth tied on her left leg. However, it seemed to be full of blood. Seeing this, his eyes went wide with shock.
The young boy had actually never seen so much blood in his life and he could not help but feel his heartbeat speeding up seeing such a scene for the first time in his life.
"My parents di…dn't d…do anything."
He whispered as he stepped back every time Mo Roulan took a step towards him.
Mo Roulan stopped amidst his steps and looked at Zhu Jiangru carefully. He was looking towards her leg that had a cloth tied to it …and it was full of blood.
She could see thin beads of sweat on his forehead.
Was he scared of seeing blood?
Mo Roulan was different from XunWeilan and Zhu Jidong. Although she had thought of Zhu Jiangru as a source of saving her brother, she would never want to harm in any way …a boy who was of the same age as her brother.
She knew this inside her heart. So she considerately walked to the side of the bed where she could hide her left leg.
Now Zhu Jiangru couldn't see blood any longer. He breathed deeply a few times and he seem to be better than before.
Now he looked at Mo Roulan calmly and asked
"What do you mean by that?"
He was indicating towards the words Mo Roulan had said earlier.
Mo Roulan also didn't want to hide anything from him and told him honestly.
"Your parents have kidnapped my brother. They are doing this transplant forcefully."
Her black eyes were very cold as she remembered how her brother looked last night when she had found him.
"No…my parents …they can't do this. They just told me that Mo Chen and his family agreed with this transplant."
Zhu Jiangru said indecisively and very firmly.
However, Mo Roulan could see the fear and doubt hidden behind this firmness very clearly.
Even the child seems to know somewhere just how cruel his parents were!
Mo Roulan laughed bitterly inside her heart.
"They can. They are doing something illegal. Otherwise, why do you think you are at such a house that is so isolated? They are hiding from the police."
Zhu Jiangru couldn't even bear to look in Mo Roulan's cold and firm eyes because he didn't have that much confidence now.
"I know …I know that what we are doing is illegal."
He whispered avoiding Mo Roulan's eyes and then continued
"But if Mo Chen and…his family agreed then there is nothing wrong my parents are doing. They just …they just want to save me."
His eyes were filled with tears as he tried to give all the logical explanations he could find.
Mo Roulan sighed in frustration but she understood that Zhu Jiangru was a kid in the end. He would of course try to defend his parents.
"Believe me"
She whispered suddenly in a choked voice and Zhu Jiangru couldn't help but raise his head to look at her.
"I can never allow anyone to do such a thing to my brother. My brother…I love him so much. He is more precious to me and my mother than any huge amount of money."
Zhu Jiangru was completely confused. He could see sincerity on Mo Roulan's face and eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears.
His parents …could they really do such a thing?
"See…I just want to take my brother away from here. I don't want any money. I want my brother to be safe and sound…something that your parents won't let happen if you won't help me."
Mo Roulan said softly.
She could see that Zhu Jiangru was an innocent and sensible child. Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong's cruel hearts have not shadowed his pure heart yet.
If he helped her then it would be easier to take Mo Chen out of here.
And about giving XunWeilan and Zhu Jidong what they deserved, she will make sure that they get it after she saves her brother.
