Chapter 42 - Shen Yiling's Humiliation
Chapter 42 – Shen Yiling’s Humiliation
Mo Roulan nodded her head slowly at something Shen Youlin said but her mind was still on the words Gu Xiaotong said earlier.
Liu Ji Fan, Gu Xiaotong, and He Jian's other friends.
It was so easy for them to say anything without caring for anyone's feelings or perhaps only hers.
Was it her fault that she had a face that can be called very beautiful?
Or if she had such a face then her being close to any man would count as her seducing him?
What kind of thinking was that? What right do they have to target her like this?
Lost in her thoughts, her frown got deeper with every second.
Seeing this, Shen Youlin stopped walking.
"Don't frown or You will get old fast."
As she said this she smoothened the frown on Mo Roulan's forehead. After that, she winked and said with a playful smile.
"However, I will still love you the same."
A small smile emerged on Mo Roulan's lips when she heard Shen Youlin's words.
Right. There were still people who love her dearly. Her mother, her little brother Chenchen and Shen Youlin.
So she should not pay attention to those who have loose mouths. She suddenly remembered that Gu Xiaotong was talking about her father's company.
"Youlin, you don't need to overdo it, okay?"
Roulan would have said more but she had heard from other students that Mr. Gu was a snobbish man. Before this incident, Gu Xiaotong had done many wrong things to other students also but Mr. Gu would always save her daughter.
So according to her, he should also face a little much for raising her daughter like this.
Shen Youlin nodded her head with a small smile which disappeared as soon as Mo Roulan turned her face away and started walking.
Mo Roulan does not know that it was not her who was harming Gu Xiaotong's father's company. She had just lied in frot of Gu Xiaotong to shut her mouth.
But who else could it be?

Sitting inside his office, He Jian was working on his laptop when the phone place on the table suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the message and his finger tapped the table continuously.
After a moment, he closed his laptop with a bit much force and picked his hanging coat from the chair's headrest.
After that, he walked out of the office.
Shen Yiling had just come out of the office after giving her interview when she saw him.
She glanced down at herself. Today she chose clothes carefully as she remembered what Grandfather He had told her.
With a small smile and excited heart, she walked towards He Jian. When she was near him she intentionally pretended to lose her balance.
But her heels suddenly broke and she fell down on the floor.
"Brother Jian…"
She raised her teary eyes only to see him entering the elevator without even giving her one look.
She saw the passing people looking down at her.
With clenched teeth, in the end, she had to get up from the floor by herself.

Inside the private room of a popular restaurant, Liu Ji Fan swirled the wine in her hands as he looked at the door eagerly.
Finally, his wait ended. The door was pushed open and the person he has been waiting for stepped inside the room. He immediately lowered his head and pretended to drink his wine casually.
He Jian walked inside and sat on the only empty chair in the room.
Around the round table, there were three other men except for He Jian and Liu Ji Fan.
Shen Weishang, Shi Fengju and Fang Zhihan.
Fang Zhihan and Shen Weishang glanced at Liu Ji Fan's sneaky behavior and hid their smile.
"Jian, you didn't even tell us that you have found that girl, huh?"
It was Fang Zhihan who started first.
He Jian didn't answer his question and asked instead.
"Who told you?"
When the three men looked at Liu Ji Fan, he glared at them. He Jian got his answer and looked at Liu Ji Fan.
Fang Zhihan licked his lips while smiling and said
"Now Now… don't look at him like this. It is good that he told us otherwise we will never get to know. Jian, all of us have been trying to help you in finding that girl for the past few years but you didn't even bother to tell us."
He Jian didn't say anything and Liu Ji Fan rolled his eyes at his behavior.
But Fang Zhihan has not even started yet.
"Jian, what is with moving to that building?"
"The office is close to that building."
Fang Zhihan nodded his head as if showing his agreement with He Jian's answer.
"So, when are you letting us see her? I am so excited to see this girl you have been looking for so eagerly."
He Jian frowned at his question. He suddenly remembered Mo Roulan's cold behavior with Liu Ji Fan and said
"She doesn't like strangers."
Fang Zhihan raised his eyebrows while Liu Ji Fan rolled his eyes again and said
"What is with the excuse? Just tell the truth that you don't want her to see us. I am already feeling so jealous of her."
He Jian glanced at Liu Ji Fan coldly which made him shut his mouth.
"So what now?"
It was Shi Fengju who asked He Jian this question.
He Jian looked at him with confusion.
"What?"
Fang Zhihan chuckled and said
"He means what do you want to do with that girl now you have found her."
"Just see if she is living well."
He Jian just answered very casually.
No one noticed the relief on Shi Fengju's face when He Jian finished his words.
Liu Ji Fan who was eating suddenly sputtered out all of the food inside his mouth.
He looked at He Jian in disbelief and said
"Is this what you wanted to do after finding her? If you want to raise someone then you should have told me, I m very much available for that and I am also very better than that cold and rude …"
"Ji Fan"
One hard look from He Jian and Liu Ji Fan could only shut his mouth again with a wronged expression.
At this moment, the phone placed by He Jian's side rang and he picked it up from the table.
He exited the room with the phone.
"When do you think he will understand his feelings?"
Fang Zhihan asked Shen Weishang who only shrugged his shoulders.
While Liu Ji Fan had an aggrieved face.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The three men inside the room laughed mercilessly at him.
While Shi Fengju looked down at his phone and typed something.
When He Jian entered again, Shi Fengju looked at him and asked casually
"Jian, do you remember Yiling?"
Shen Weishang raised his head and glanced at Shi Fengju.
There was no change in He Jia's face when heard the name and Shi Fengju understood that he doesn't remember anything.
The lunch continued without any more chattering.
