Chapter 292 - The Past Life
Chapter 292 – The Past Life
On the night, Mo Roulan had found herself reborn, she was so determined that she won't ever make the mistakes she made in her past life.
When she had seen her brother after leaving the mountain, for her she had seen him after a very long time.
Because in her past life, she had not seen him even once after he had left the orphanage with Zhu family.
When she was taken to City S by He Jian's people to live in his villa, she had thought that she would finally find her brother as she remembered very clearly that Zhu family had also come from City S.
However, never had she thought that by keeping herself out of He Jian's eyes, when she will go to the address given by Xun Weilan to her in case if she wanted to Mo Chen, she would never find Mo Chen there.
In fact, she found no one there.
There was just a shabby building at that place that seemed as if it could fall down at any moment. Disappointed she had returned back. She had assured herself with the fact that Zhu family might have moved to some other place with Mo Chen.
She still remembers the frown on He Jian's face that expressed his displeasure of leaving his men suddenly out of nowhere.
Although he didn't express his concern directly, she could feel that he was really worried about her. That was the first time, Mo Roulan had felt her heart beating fast on seeing He Jian. That day, she had felt her heart going warm after so many years.
After so many years, she felt that there was someone who cared for her.
In that new giddiness, she however couldn't gather enough courage to ask He Jian's help to look for her brother. Regardless of how much respect and care He Jian gave to Mo Roulan, she could never feel open enough in front of him to ask for help by herself.
She was very embarrassed to do that.
But then again when she was becoming courageous enough to ask He Jian to help her in finding Mo Chen, Fang Zhihan made her hopefulness freeze with his cold words.
She was scared to tell He Jian that she ever had a brother. Because she knew that He Jian never hid anything from his friends.
So she was scared that he would tell them about her brother she was trying to find.
So Mo Roulan took it in her own hands that she would find her brother by her own.
However, until she was abandoned by He Jian and went to City H…she never heard anything about Mo Chen.
The despair of He Jian's hatred for her surrounded her heart so much that she forgot about her brother completely and lost herself in that sorrow.
She got addicted to drugs. She didn't notice that in her attempts of forgetting He Jian, she was just making him an eternal path of her life.
But how could she have seen that when those drugs were the only source of a little bit of joy in her life at that time!
But then she was forced to leave drugs when she came to know that she was pregnant.
At some time during her attempts of leaving the drugs, Mo Roulan was reminded of her brother. However, she was too ashamed of finding Mo Chen in that kind of state.
She didn't want him to see her miserable state thinking that he must be living well with Zhu family.
She collected the broken pieces of her heart slowly and slowly. It was never healed but she made her life livable by opening a stall.
Fortunately, her cooking skills were good and while living in He Jian's mansion she had lonely improved her skills with the help of the best cook of City S working for He Jian.
She was at peace again with the money she was earning until one day …her path crossed with Xun Weilan again.
Nonetheless, Mo Roulan was happy and followed Xun Weilan to ask about Mo Chen only to find out that the woman refused to recognize her in the first place.
The naïve her had tried again and again unable to see her and her husband's game. She found nothing about Mo Chen from Xun Weilan that day.
She was a little panicked for the first time regarding Mo Chen.
That night, in her dreams, Mo Roulan saw Mo Chen. The same little brother of hers who had begged to her not to send him away from her.
"Jiejie…don't send Chenchen away…Chenchen doesn't want food, toys or books…Chenchen wants nothing but Jiejie …please don't send Chenchen away…"
That night, she had woken up with a body full of sweat.
The next day, she had visited the orphanage …the place she never wanted to go to again. Mo Roulan had gone there to find some evidence that could prove that Zhu family had adopted Mo Chen.
However, the head of the orphanage had died by that time and the new head refused to accept that any such adoption happened.
Even after she forced him to search all the old documents, she could never find any evidence for what she wanted to prove.
Disappointed once again, she came back to City H.
That day, she had begged in front of Xun Weilan to tell her where her brother was because she couldn't sleep or eat after not knowing how exactly her brother was doing.
However, Xun Weilan never told her anything.
Frustrated and disappointed, Mo Roulan used all the money she had and hired an investigator to find Mo Chen.
The investigator was a capable man as he soon found out about Mo Chen.
One day, she had just returned after closing her stall and stepped inside her house when she got the call from an investigator who told her
"Miss Mo, your brother…Mo Chen…is already dead."
Because of the rain, his words were not that clear. However, after he repeated them three times…she connected them and she instantly felt the ground slipping beneath her feet.
Her brother…her Chenchen was dead.
