Chapter 47 – It Is Not Easy To Raise A Stubborn Kitten
Lin Qianru's lips trembled as she looked at her daughter's indifferent eyes.
"I…Roulan …I gave it to your First Aunt. I don't know how Wen Zuyan got it. I thought…if one day Wen Zuyan threw her out of the Mo family's home …she …she will have a home to come with her daughter."
Mo Roulan didn't say anything as her mother continued to defend herself.
"I really don't know…I …believe me…"
"Mom, when I asked you to promise me that you will not talk to any one of them then I had meant every single of them."
Tears fell continuously out of Lin Qianru's eyes.
But Mo Roulan clenched her fists and indifferently turned around to go inside Mo Chen's room. She locked the door and sat there leaning against it.
It was not that she doesn't believe her mother. The problem lies in her mother's naivety.
She continued sitting there and looked at the bed where Mo Chen was resting with closed eyes.
Mo Roulan put her chin on her knees and closed her eyes. The fear that she had felt just after she was hit was still fresh in her mind.
The helplessness to not remain conscious no matter how much she wanted at that time, still scared her.
What if He Jian had not come? She and Mo Chen would …
At this moment, the door she was leaning against was suddenly knocked from outside.
She took a deep breath to calm down her emotions and got up to open the door. She frowned when she saw He Jian standing outside the door.
However, remembering that he had saved her and Mo Chen today, she can't disrespect him like before. So she asked him politely
"What is Mr. He doing here?"
She saw Lin Qianru with red eyes standing behind He Jian. She took a long glance at her mother and then withdrew her gaze waiting for the reply to her question
"Miss Mo, I have knocked down the door of your apartment."
Mo Roulan frowned. She, of course, understood where this was going.
"It will be unsafe for you and your family to live in this apartment tonight. So if Miss Mo doesn't mind, you and your family can live inside my apartment for tonight."
Mo Roulan shook her head and refused his offer.
"I thank Mr. He for thinking so much for my family; however, there is no need for that. I don't want to trouble Mr. He."
He Jian looked at her for a few moments and then persuaded again
"Miss Mo, You are not troubling me at all. I have to go to my company for a meeting and I won't be coming to my apartment for the whole night. So if you wish to spend this inside my apartment with your family, you are very welcome to do so. At this moment, you should think about your's and your family's safety."
Inside his heart, He Jian had decided that if she didn't accept his offer even this time, then he will send her to one of the hotels under He Corporation.
But he will not let her spend tonight in this apartment. His blood was already boiling whenever he thought if he had not been home today then what would have happened?
Mo Roulan was thinking about what he had just said. He was right. What was the guarantee that her Aunt will not come again and do anything?
She would have gone to a hotel but it would cost her very much and the money that she had saved from tutoring, she needed it for some other purposes now.
So she nodded her head and accepted the offer.
Half an hour later, Mo Roulan went inside Mo Chen's room to wake him up so that they can go to He Jian's apartment. The door behind her opened and the familiar deep voice fell in her ears.
"Let me do it."
As he picked the sleeping Little Mo Chen from the bed, Mo Roulan followed him. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions as she looked at his back.
'Why was he helping her so much? Where did the cold and aloof man whom she had seen in her past life go?'
After that, she came back to her apartment to take some important things. Amidst all this, Lin Qianru tried many times to talk to her daughter but all of her efforts were in vain.
After she had settled everything so that her brother and mother can sleep peacefully, she exited the room.
Seeing her going outside the apartment with some documents in her hands, Lin Qianru was worried and followed her.
Outside the apartment, He Jian was waiting for the elevator when he saw Mo Roulan coming out of his apartment.
When she didn't say anything and stood silently beside him, he sighed and asked politely.
"Is Miss Mo going anywhere?"
From the corner of her eye, Mo Roulan saw her mother standing a few steps away, so she answered with a nonchalant face.
"Yes, to the police station. I want to file a complaint against my aunt and those who entered my home without my permission."
Lin Qianru bit her lips but didn't step forward to stop her daughter. She knew that Mo Roulan will not listen to her at this moment. However, it would already be night in one or two hours. So it was not safe for her to go out at this time.
"Roulan…don't go now. It is very late. We'll go tomorrow, okay?"
He Jian was also looking at her.
Since He Jian was standing there, Mo Roulan didn't ignore her mother this time and said
"I have college tomorrow."
She said this and without waiting for her mother's reply she entered the elevator. The doors closed and the elevator started moving.
Outside the elevator, He Jian glanced at dejected Lin Qianru and said
"Auntie, you don't need to worry. I will go and take a look."
He sent Lin Qianru inside the apartment and then sighed pressing his eyebrows.
'It is not easy to raise someone.'
Especially when that someone was his stubborn kitten.
