CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 22 - An Invitation



Outside the He Villa, He Jian was about to get inside his car when his father, He Zhuang's voice stopped him.

"You found that girl?"

He Jian turned around to look at his father. Five years ago, when he was brought back to City H after his abducting incident, his father wanted to send him out of China. He Jian refused. But his father was adamant. He could not blame his father as well as he was only thinking about his safety.

He Jian answered his father.

"Not yet."

He Zhuang continued.

"Attend the banquet and get acquainted with important people. It will help you in the future."

He Jian understood the hidden meaning. It will help him in handling their family business in the future. He nodded and saw that his father had already diverted his attention to the phone. So he turned and climbed inside the car. The car left the He Villa.

He Zhuang raised his head from the phone and looked at the leaving car. Five years ago, when his son had refused him for the first time.

"I can't go. I want to find her."

He Zhuang was surprised hearing the reason but he still had asked him calmly.

"Why do you want to find her?"

He Jian was startled by the question and for a moment he didn't have any answer.

But He Zhuang understood his son. He understood why was he so desperate to find her.

He had been on that road before. He just wished that his son will not face betrayals like him.

"No, if you are not coming, then I will not celebrate my birthday."

Mo Roulan sighed in frustration on seeing how Shen Youlin was behaving like a child.

This morning, Shen Youlin told her that her grandfather was organizing a banquet on her birthday and she wants her to attend it.

"Youlin, I really can't attend the party. Please try to understand."

Mo Roulan tried again.

Hearing her words, Shen Youlin blinked her eyes and Mo Roulan saw that she was trying to stop her tears from flowing. She felt really bad for behaving like this with her. But she really can't do anything. In the evening, she had her interview for her part-time job. She can't miss it.

And there was another reason also....

Just as she was about to talk again to Shen Youlin, the phone in her hand rang. It was the same number by which she was called for an interview in the evening. So she picked it up hurriedly.

"Miss Mo, We need to go somewhere in the evening. So can you please come tomorrow at the same time?"

That was what Mo Roulan heard as soon as she picked the call and put the phone to her ear. In front of her, Shen Youlin who was standing with a lower head swiftly raised her head and her teary eyes were filled with bright light.

"Yes, Sure."

As soon as the call was cut, she was hugged by Shen Youlin. Held tightly by the waist, Mo Roulan helplessly shook her head at the same time comforted herself.

'She will just go, give her gift and come back. There is nothing to worry about.'

--------------------

In the living room of a luxurious villa, He Jian sat on the sofa comfortably. He had a lazy and careless look on his face as he sipped water from the glass.

"Boss, Please show some mercy Ah… I am working for you for so many years."

He Jian's cold blue eyes fell on the man who was sitting on the floor in front of him. When he was about to hold his pants to continue begging, he immediately stopped seeing those sharp cold blue eyes.

He meekly apologized.

"Sorry Boss."

And then continued with a face full of tears which even Chu Feng who was standing behind He Jian could not bear to look at.

"Boss, Please don't fire me. My girlfriend will break up with me. I will do the job properly this time. I promise. She is in this City. I will find that girl for you very soon. Please Boss; don't snatch this job from me."

He Jian who had been silent all the time finally spoke.

"One day, you have one day."

The man, Chen Xuan was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately nodded.

"Yes Boss. Thank you."

He immediately stood up to leave.

'I should leave before the boss changes his decision.'

"Boss, what about me?"

Chen Xuan glanced sideways. There was a thin man standing behind him. He wore glasses that make him look like a total nerd. Then he glared at Chu Feng.

'You replaced me with this thin stick.'

He Jian glanced at both of them and then said lazily.

"Whoever completes the works first will get the job."

Hearing the words, Chen Xuan and the thin man straightened their back. Chen Xuan looked at the thin man with narrowed eyes.

'Hmph, you thin stick, I can blow you away with one blow.'

The thin man didn't feel threatened at all and calmly looked him in the eye.

At this moment, He Jian's cold voice fell in their ears.

"However, if both of you failed, leave China and don't ever show your faces to me."

Chen Xuan took a sharp breath and Chu Feng looked at both the men with pity in his eyes.

'Boss, you sure are merciless.'
