Chapter 48 – The Naive Lin Qianru
"Follow her wherever she goes. If she needs anything, then arrange it for her."
"Yes Boss"
He Jian was silent for a moment and then the person on the other side heard his cold and indifferent voice again.
"If even a single hair of her was harmed …"
The man on the other side shivered. The unsaid words and the incomplete sentence were left for him to imagine what could happen to him. He replied immediately.
"Yes, Boss."
He Jian put down the phone and entered the elevator.

Two hours later, Mo Roulan came out of the police station after filing the complaint. She waved her hand to stop a cab and sat inside it.
Half an hour later, the cab stopped outside the building she lived in. She paid the fare and entered the elevator.
When she opened the door of He Jian's apartment she saw her mother sleeping on the couch inside the living room.
She must have slept while waiting for her.
Mo Roulan went inside the room where Mo Chen was sleeping and came out with the extra blanket. She covered her mother with it and then went back to the room.
She climbed on the bed and hugged her brother in her arms. As soon as her head hit the pillow, her eyes closed down and she fell into a deep sleep.
Early morning, she was woken up by her vibrating phone. She picked it up immediately in fear that Mo Chen will wake up because of the disturbance.
"Miss Mo, You have to come to the Police station, right now."
"Okay"
Mo Roulan hurriedly washed her face and came out of the room. She saw her mother cooking inside the kitchen.
When Lin Qianru saw her wearing shoes, she frowned as Mo Roulan looked ready to go somewhere early morning. She immediately left the vegetables in her hands as it is and followed her daughter.
"Roulan, where are you going?"
"To the police station."
Lin Qianru locked the door and entered the elevator with her daughter.
"I will go with you."
She sighed in relief when Mo Roulan didn't oppose her. Both of them were silent the whole way.
The cab stopped outside the police station and Mo Roulan paid the fare. Exiting the cab, Lin Qianru looked at the police station in front of herself.
She has never come to such a place in her whole life. It was her first time entering the police station.
Mo Roulan directly went to the policeman who had registered the complaint. He signed her to sit on the chair and she did.
Lin Qianru also sat down beside her daughter.
"She is my mother."
Mo Roulan answered when the policeman glanced at her mother. The policeman nodded and then started
"Miss Mo, we have arrested your Aunt but we will not be able to keep her here for long."
Mo Roulan frowned and the inspector continued
"With the help of CCTV cameras inside the building you live in, we can prove that it was your Aunt who brought that man inside your house. We can also prove that that man tried to force himself on you as you said there are eyewitnesses for that. But we have no way to prove that your Aunt forced you to marry that man."
"Secondly your Aunt claims that your Mother herself gave her the key of your apartment."
Lin Qianru eyes widened and she muttered
"I never gave her the key, Roulan. Believe me."
Mo Roulan's lips were pursed and she held her mother's hand under the table. The inspector continued again
"Miss Mo, if you can prove that the key that your Aunt had was not given by your mother then we can proceed with this case."

Outside the police station, Lin Qianru followed Mo Roulan and suddenly held her arm.
"Roulan, Wen Zuyan must have stolen that key from your Su Mian. Let me talk to your First Aunt. She will definitely support us."
Mo Roulan looked at her mother who was still unaware of what was going on. She indifferently nodded her head as she thought of what will happen next.
Let her mother see everyone's true face.
Hence as soon as they reached their apartment, Lin Qianru went inside her room to call Su Mian.
While Mo Roulan waited for her mother, Shen Youlin stepped inside the apartment.
"Roulan…"
Shen Youlin saw the mess in the living room and was shocked.
"What happened here? You didn't get ready for college."
Mo Roulan told her everything and Shen Youlin was fuming with anger after she finished.
Just as she was about to open her mouth and say some colorful words, Lin Qianru stepped out of her room. Her face was pale and she seemed to be in a daze.
She looked at Mo Roulan and said faintly.
"Roulan, Su Mian said that I never gave her the key. It was Wen Zuyan whom I gave the key…. that too willingly.
She …she also asked me why I was lying?"
Lin Qianru was so shocked that she stuttered while speaking.
Su Mian was a widow and she had a small girl of her son's age. Wen Zuyan didn't behave very well with her and her daughter. But since Su Mian didn't have any source of income, she had to live in the Mo family's house no matter how Wen Zuyan treated her and her daughter.
Lin Qianru pitied her. She always tried to help Su Mian in her own ways. When she left the town Wenhua she also gave her the key of her newly bought apartment so that she can come to her home in case Wen Zuyan threw her out of the house.
But she had not expected everything to turn out like this.
She had not expected that Su Mian would turn out to be such a woman.
Mo Roulan was not shocked after hearing her mother. A cold smile appeared on her lips. She had already expected this.
Shen Youlin who now knew everything suddenly butted in between
"Auntie, can you tell me when and where did you give the key to this Su Mian?"
