CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 53 - The Banquet



The next few days Mo Roulan got many calls from her Second Uncle at the home telephone. She didn't need to ask how her Second Uncle got the phone number.

Because the first time, as soon as she put down the phone after scolding her second uncle, her mother walked away from there with a guilty and nervous face making excuses that she had some work to do.

Mo Roulan chuckled confusedly at her mother's behavior.

Was she a ghost that her mother looked so scared seeing her these days?

Mo Chen answered her question.

'Jiejie Mom is not scared of you. She is just afraid that you will be cold to her just like before if she did anything wrong.'

Little Mo Chen was very intelligent.

Mo Roulan was startled when she heard this. When she remembered how she behaved with her mother, she actually felt that Mo Chen might not be wrong.

In the pain of her last life, she was hurting her mother in this life.

'What can I do when my mother cares for others more than her own children.'

She really said such words to her mother.

She felt frustrated for a few moments because of was very difficult to keep everything separate. After she sorted out her thoughts, she talked to her mother.

She told her mother that she loved her very much. That she knows that her mother also loves her and Little Chenchen.  That she was just hurt and said hurtful words.

That she was sorry for whatever she said.

That she was just afraid to lose everything, to lose both of them.

'Because if it happened in this life also then she would never be able to forgive herself.'

That night, she slept with her mother. Lin Qianru was very happy because she saw the old Mo Roulan who would come to her at night whenever she dreamt of something bad.

It has been so many years since her daughter woke her up at the midnight or slept with her.

Roulan grew up very early. She didn't even get to see when she became so capable to see other's lies that she also couldn't see.

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

The calls from the useless relatives finally ended when Mo Roulan threatened her second uncle that she would file a complaint against him if he continued to trouble her like this.

Although the calls ended, Mo Roulan didn't believe her relatives. She would leave Mo Chen to the school and pick him up by herself. 

She told her mother to use only crowded roads.

At the end of the day, she would feel very tired. Her college, her part-time job, picking Mo Chen from his school, her whole day would spend like this. But she didn't mind as long as she was assured that her mother and brother were safe.

The building was very safe now. Even the security guard was changed. 

A week passed.

Slowly and slowly, the lingering fear that was left by that incident also started to disappear.

Mo Roulan allowed Mo Chen to go to the school by school bus.

Her part-time job as a tutor was also going very well. Sometimes Mrs. Yu would give her a bonus whenever her son did well in the exams. 

At this moment, Mo Roulan was returning from her part-time job when she suddenly stopped walking. Her eyes followed the figure that was walking ahead of her.

Mother…

Since the woman was a bit far away, Mo Roulan couldn't see clearly but she felt as if she saw her mother.

But how could it be her mother? The woman was wearing the dress of a waiteress.

"Mom…"

She shouted but the woman was walking very fast so perhaps didn't hear her.

  However, her feet didn't stop. She continued following and stopped when she was outside a large mansion.

The woman entered the mansion. But Mo Roulan could not enter inside as there were security guards standing outside who were letting in only those with some special card.

"Roulan"

Mo Roulan turned her when she heard someone calling her and was surprised to see Shen Youlin behind her.

These few days, she couldn't meet Shen Youlin much.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Youlin was surprised to see Mo Roulan there and asked

"Nothing, I just…saw Mom going inside. I am not sure but I felt that it was my mother."

Mo Roulan answered

"Auntie? Here? Let's go and look inside."

Before Mo Roulan could even deny Shen Youlin held her arm and dragged her inside the Mansion.

"Youlin…It might be that I saw wrong."

Mo Roulan tried to free her arm but Shen Youlin ignored her.

"What is the harm if we check?"

'At least I will be able to spend some time with you.' Shen Youlin's eyes were bright as she thought this.

"I missed you so much."

Shen Youlin looked at Mo Roulan with puppy eyes when she was still trying to free her arm.

"Then you can come to my home tonight. But leave me now. How can I go inside like this?"

Mo Roulan said when she saw that there was some kind of party or banquet was going on inside.

"I can't, Mom will not allow me."

Shen Youlin pouted. The banquet was organized to announce her brother's engagement with that CEO Song. So for the past whole week, her mother didn't let her go anywhere and carefully selected the dress she would wear. God knows from where she did get to know that she was not going back to her lonely mansion every day so her mother was now not allowing her to go anywhere.

She would have been very happy if her mother had done all this because she cared for her. But Shen Youlin knew the truth. All of it was because her mother was afraid that she would embarrass the Shen family because of her silly actions.

Shen Youlin didn't have any familial affection in her heart after her birthday night.

It was good. No, actually it was best. Because now their indifference no longer hurt her.

She was happy to find her family in Mo Roulan, the girl she loved.
