Chapter 74 – The Confused Hearts
Mo Roulan was in the bus when she had a phone call from a unknown number.
The bus was very crowded today and she was not standing so she couldn't pick up her phone in fear that someone would steal it. She had seen many such incidents in her past life so she knew that she needs to be careful in a public bus.
She put the phone inside her bag. The phone continued to ring again and again making her frown. So as soon as she got down she first picked the call.
"Miss Mo"
Her eyes went cold when she heard the voice from the other side.
She recognized who it was.
Mrs. Yu, Yu Wei's mother.
She had blocked Mrs. Yu number from her phone so that the woman would not be able to call her again. However it seemed that Mrs. Yu was persistent.
She was about to hung up when Mrs. Yi started to speak.
"Miss Mo, please don't cut the call. I have something very urgent to talk to you."
Mo Roulan eyebrows were knitted in confusion when she heard the pleading tone of Mrs. Yu completely different from how arrogantly she had talked to her just the day before yesterday.
In the end, she didn't put down the phone.
On the other side, Mrs. Yu was clenching the phone in her hands when she thought about the words he had to say next.
She didn't want to lower her head in front of such a girl, however, seeing her husband glaring at her who was sitting in front of her she could only open her mouth and continue.
"Miss Mo, it was me who was wrong that day. I accept my mistake. Can you please come back and continue to tutor my son? "
"No."
The answer came from the other side and Mrs. Yu shook her head while looking at her husband indicating that Mo Roulan didn't agree.
Seeing her husband mouthing her to say her next words, she said again
"Miss Mo, I can increase your salary but please can you please forgive me and continue your job again?"
Mo Roulan frowned on the other side and gave the same answer.
The phone was suddenly snatched away from Mrs. Yu's hands and Mo Roulan heard a different voice.
"Miss Mo I am Yu Wei's father."
Mr. Yu didn't mind when he didn't hear any response.
"Miss Mo, I apologize for my wife's action. I didn't know that she was planning to do something like this."
Mo Roulan rolled her eyes hearing Mr. Yu. She, of course, knew that the man was lying and putting all the blame on his wife.
"It is good Mr. Yu that you have realized your mistake. However, I can't start to tutor Yu Wei again no matter how much you will pay. I will hang up now."
It made her curious what made the husband and wife to say all this to her. She thought that if she went back they will perhaps again offer her the same thing. So it was best that she stay away from Yu family in the future.
"Miss Mo, please listen to me for a few more moments."
Mo Roulan continued to walk as she heard Mr. Yu's next words.
"I will not lie to you now. My company is in a very bad state. The situation is so bad that I will go bankrupt if a miracle didn't happen until tomorrow."
Mo Roulan pursed her lips because she thought now they are trying to manipulate her emotionally. However, her steps paused when Mr. Yu continued.
"I have found out from somewhere that it is CEO He who is targeting my company intentionally. Miss Mo, I have never offended Young Master He before so the only reason behind doing all this that I can think of is my wife's bad attitude towards you."
Mo Roulan stared ahead as she continued to hear Mr. Yu.
"I am just asking you to forgive my wife and ask Young Master He to leave my company. Please. I will be very grateful to you. That's my hard work for …."
Mo Roulan didn't let Mr. Yu complete his words and hung up the call.
In a daze, she started to walk again. Soon the building she lived in was in front of her.
Her face held no emotion as she entered the elevator.
A few moments later, the elevator stopped and she walked out.
Standing in front of her apartment, she suddenly looked towards the door of her neighboring apartment.
Her legs unconsciously moved towards the door and she raised her hand to knock the door.
A while later, the door opened. Her head was lowered as she tried to think why she had just knocked the door.
"Lanlan…"
She raised her head only to see the blue eyes focused at her. She didn't seem to notice that he again called her by the name she had told him to not call.
"Is it you …behind Mr. Yu…?"
She stumbled with her words.
Mr. Yu can be wrong also. Although she had told He Jian everything yesterday, why will he do all this?
He Jian's eyebrows were knitted as he tried to remember this Mr. Yu.
When he finally remembered, he stared at Mo Roulan for a few seconds and then nodded his head.
"Yes, I did it."
Mo Roulan looked at him silently.
Was she moved?
No.
She was just confused so she asked
"Why?"
He had never done this in her past life. So many people humiliated her in the past but he always seemed to be indifferent.
Then why did he do this now?
Perhaps He Jian has not expected such a question because for a moment he seemed to be surprised.
Why does he want to destroy that man's company?
Of course because they did something that was not acceptable to Roulan.
Mo Roulan was the girl he wants to protect forever. So why would he tolerate someone looking down on her?
Looking at her confused and tired black brown eyes, he smiled gently and said
"You don't need to worry about anything. Go and have some rest. You seem tired."
At the end of his sentence, He Jian frowned. She looked so tired. That's why he wanted her to work in He Corporation.
But Mo Roulan was still staring at him. She was trying to figure out why he targeted Mr. Yu's company. In the end, she only found one reason.
He thinks that she saved him so he was paying her back.
He was same in her past life. Till the time He Jian thought that she saved him he cared for her. He would always make sure that she was not facing any trouble.
All of his actions made her foolish mind think that she was very special to him. So she fearlessly confessed her feelings only to get rejected.
From then started her downfall.
