Chapter 52 – Mr. He Lacks A Female Partner
Mo Roulan looked at the workers with a frown as they were not ready to take the money for the work they had done.
One of them called someone and then gave the phone to Mo Roulan.
"Miss Mo, It was due to our irresponsibility that you have to go through all that. We are sorry for that. The cost of repairing your apartment will be paid by me. Please don't worry about that."
On the other side of the phone was Secretary Zhou. He spoke very politely to Mo Roulan.
Mo Roulan also found his words very logical.
If they hadn't let her Aunt enter the building without asking her then everything of that wouldn't have happened.
So Mo Roulan didn't insist to pay the workers.
Now the door was repaired and her mother had also made the food. So she sent the workers and locked the door.
After filling her stomach, she went inside her room to sleep while Lin Qianru went to Mo Chen's room to feed him.
Inside the room, Shen Youlin was already sleeping on the bed. Mo Roulan didn't care and climbed on the bed. She soon fell into a deep sleep. But sleeping by her side, Shen Youlin groaned and felt pitiful at her situation.
She could only see the beautiful things from afar but not touch them ahh…

"Boss, the Songs is holding a banquet. Mr. Song has sent you the invitation card and specially called to request you to attend the banquet."
Chu Feng told He Jian as he placed the invitation card in front of his boss.
He Jian didn't glance at the invitation card and asked his assistant
"When is the banquet?"
"This Sunday."
"Put it in the schedule of this Sunday then."
Chu Feng nodded but didn't pick up the invitation card. He hesitated and then said
"Boss, you have to attend the banquet with a female partner."
He Jian glanced at his assistant and Chu Feng said instantly.
"Understood Boss. I overspoke."
When he knew that his boss never has never taken any female partner with himself to any party or banquet till now, then why did he suddenly spoke these words today?
It was not like anyone will stop his boss from entering if he didn't bring a female partner.
Chu Feng bit down his tongue.
But he just thought that things might be different now when his boss ha found Miss Mo. Thinking about this, Chu Feng never understood his boss's relationship with this Miss Mo.
But he didn't have any courage to ask anything his boss so he could only press down his curiosity mercilessly.
He picked the invitation card from He Jian's table and was about to exit the small study when he heard the cold voice.
"Was it you who told Ji Fan my whereabouts?"
Chu Feng felt cold all over his body. But he had to answer the question so he said firmly.
"Yes, Boss."
With great efforts, he tried to not stutter because of the cold.
"Good. You will not receive this month's salary."
What was good in this? Chu Feng cried bitterly inside his heart. Why was he doing so many stupid things these days?

Mo Roulan slept the whole afternoon. When she woke up, she saw a note left by her mother which said that she was going to the restaurant for her job.
Mo Roulan made a cup of coffee for herself and went back to her room. Shen Youlin was still sleeping. Her capability of taking such a long nap made Mo Roulan think that Shen Youlin must have not slept for the whole night.
She let Shen Youlin sleep and went to the balcony to enjoy her coffee.
Sipping the coffee, Mo Roulan thought about whatever happened in the past two days.
She really changed her life this time, right?
She no longer will lose her mother and brother. Everything would be very different from her past life. This life perhaps would give her the peace and happiness she has always sought for.
"How is Miss Mo feeling now?"
The cup in Mo Roulan hands almost fell on the floor by the sudden voice. She turned towards the owner of the voice and sighed.
Peace. She should forget about it.
"I am feeling alright, Mr. He. Thanks for asking."
She replied politely and felt irritated because she couldn't even shoo him away now by talking rudely. After all, he had helped her. Not once but twice.
While He Jian enjoyed seeing her changing expressions.
"So how would Miss Mo repay me?"
Mo Roulan had not expected him to ask her this. But since he had already questioned her, she could only reply
"What does Mr. He wants?"
The man never talked without planning anything. Mo Roulan knew this. He must have decided already what he wanted, that's why he asked her.
"There is a banquet that I need to attend but I lack a female partner. It will be helpful if Miss Mo can accompany me."
After completing his words, even He Jian was startled inside his heart by what he said.
While Mo Roulan really wanted to pour the whole cup of coffee on his face at this moment.
'He lacked a female partner…my ass. This was the biggest lie she had ever heard. If he wanted he could attend those parties and banquet with hundreds of women together.'
"I'm really sorry, Mr. He. I have my college to attend, so I can't accompany you to any banquet."
"Miss Mo doesn't need to worry about that. The banquet is o Sunday."
He Jian told her with a smile.
It was a smile that could any girl's heart with a single look but Mo Roulan found it nothing except irritating.
She took a deep breath and then said
"Mr. He, I have never attended such banquets and I never wish to. I hope you will understand and find someone else. I will repay in any other way."
Mo Roulan said indifferently.
After that, she left the balcony with her cup of coffee.
It was already very difficult for her to face him. Accompanying to a banquet that was already a source of her horrible memories was out of the question.
