CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 291 - Could She Trust Fang Zhihan With Mo Chen?



Mo Roulan clenched the hem of her dress tightly after hearing Shi Fengju's words. She knew what was coming.

Perhaps that's why she didn't even raise his head. She knew that she would see the sheer mockery in Shi Fengju's eyes if she did that.

Tears filled her eyes and she sniffed lightly remembering the hurtful words He Jian's friends have said to her the last time.

She couldn't understand why they disliked her so much. No matter how much she tried they just don't seem to digest her presence in He Jian's life.     

Was it because she was merely a town girl?

Thump…

She flinched when Shi Fengju slammed a glass of water in front of her and said 

"Will you like a glass of water, Mam?"

A few drops splashed out of the glass falling on her dress. However, Shi Fengju doesn't seem to end his session of hurtful words yet. 

"Do you think that we will welcome you here like this?"

Mo Roulan raised her head and shook in 'no' unconsciously as if answering Shi Fengju's question. She wanted nothing but a little bit of respect.

The respect that she gave to them…she just wanted that in exchange.

Her eyes looked at other three people in the room. All of them were silent. Shen Weisheng was silently having his meal.

But Liu Ji Fan and Fang Zhihan were staring at her coldly.

"Why are you behaving like this with me?"

She couldn't help but ask them.

It was Liu Ji Fan who spoke this time seeing that she was looking at him.

"Because you should not be here. Do you think that no one will find out your true face?"

Liu Jia Fan sneered and then said 

"We know that it was you who helped those abductors five years ago in addicting He Jian."

Mo Roulan's eyes went wide with shock.

"No…it's not…"

She had wanted to explain herself. However, Liu Ji Fan didn't let her say anything.

"Don't try to lie, Mo Roulan because we are not going to believe your lies."

Liu Ji Fan said sharply and Mo Roulan flinched again.

Her eyes then found Fang Zhihan. He had been so nice to her when she had met him first. However, today even he was looking at her so coldly.

It was now Fang Zhihan who spoke

"Mo Roulan, it would be better for you if you leave He Jian on her own."

Fang Zhihan's eyes were so cold that Mo Roulan couldn't bear to look into them. However, hearing his words, she instantly shook his head.

"I can't…"

She couldn't leave He Jian. She loved him so much. It took her a whole month to realize her feelings but now she knew that she couldn't leave He Jian.

However, her 'no' made Fang Zhihan's eyes more sharp and he said

"How much money do you want for leaving him?"

Mo Roulan shook her head again. A tear slid down her eyes on hearing such a degrading question. She was not some gold digger.

But Fang Zhihan only took it as one of her pretense and said mercilessly

"You should be grateful that no one related to you is alive. Otherwise I would have made sure to make their life hell if that's what it takes to make you leave He Jian."

Mo Roulan started to tremble at these words. She licked her dry lips.

She had a blood relative alive and it was her brother. She just wished that no one will ever get to know about Mo Chen…especially Fang Zhihan.

It will be better if he stays out of all this. If she loved He Jian then she will fight with everything that will come her way to continue loving him but she won't ever want to harm her brother selfishly.

He must be staying happily with Zhu family.

She had actually wanted to visit him but for now, He Jian had his eyes on her almost all the time. As much as she enjoyed this attention that he rarely gave to others, she couldn't go to find her brother because of this also. 

Just at this moment, He Jian stepped inside the room again and everything went back to as it was before.

"Here…"

Shi Fengju passed a napkin to Mo Roulan with a polite smile on his lips and Mo Roulan took it from his hands without trying to tremble.

Regardless of how He Jian's friends behaved with her, Mo Roulan knew that they cared for He Jian. He doesn't want him to fight with them for her.

He was already so estranged from his family because she was living with them. Although He Jian didn't tell her anything, Mo Roulan knew that it was because of her.

Now she doesn't want him to lose his friends too because of her.

Combined with that, they now knew that she had helped those kidnappers five years ago. Mo Roulan's whole body was shivering and she suddenly stood up from the table.

"I will use the restroom."

She said and immediately left the room while He Jian who was walking towards his chair frowned looking at his back.

However, Shi Fengju handled the matter very well.           

"The girl spilled some water on her dress. She must be feeling embarrassed."

He Jian didn't doubt Shi Fengju's words as he knew that Mo Roulan could really feel embarrassed over such a small thing. So he silently sat down on his chair.

"Mo Roulan…"

Mo Roulan came out of her trance when Fang Zhihan called out to her again. She saw him looking at her with a serious face as he said to her

"You can trust me. You are like my sister. I will not harm you and Mo Chen ever."

Fang Zhihan told Mo Roulan in the most gentle voice he could use.

Mo Roulan could see that he was sincere. Her hold around her brother loosened unconsciously. She watched as he picked Mo Chen in his arms gently.

The sound of the phone ringtone never ended all this while.     

The strange thing was that it helped Mo Roulan to gather her senses back a little. 

She felt a policeman holding her arm and then helping her to stand up from the ground. As she walked towards the exit of the building, Fang Zhihan was walking just ahead of her.

Mo Roulan silently wondered about just one thing.

Could she really trust Fang Zhihan with her brother's safety? 

The question only emphasized just how confused she was at this moment between her past life and present life.

The memories were putting a fog inside her mind making her unable to distinguish between them, making her unable to confirm what belonged to the past and what belonged to the present.

The only thing that she could feel was fear.

And it was not a good feeling.
