Lin Qianru looked confused at her daughter's words.
Mo Roulan, on the other hand, since she had found opportunity she didn't let it go. She held her brother who had just picked his bag and was about to leave the dining room and told him seriously
"Chechen, Jiejie wants you to do something. Will you do it for Jiejie?"
Mo Chen instantly nodded his small head.
He had never disobeyed his sister except …when she stopped him from watching too much TV. Mo Chen sheepishly thought inside his heart.
However, he also got serious when he saw his sister's serious face.
"You will not get too close to our new neighbors. Never go anywhere with them. Do not befriend their son too much, alright?"
Mo Chen obediently nodded his head seeing his sister's strict face.
To him, it didn't matter if he couldn't befriend Zhu Jianru. He already has many friends. To him, the persons who mattered the most were his sister and his mother.
However, Lin Qianru frowned as she was unable to comprehend her daughter's strange behavior.
So she asked her.
"Roulan, why are you telling Mo Chen to do such a thing? Our neighbors are …"
"…not nice people."
Mo Roulan interrupted her mother and completed her words.
Her face didn't have any emotion as she said this.
Seeing the confusion in her mother's eyes, Mo Roulan knew that she would have to hive a reasonable explanation to her mother but she didn't have any.
So she let go of Mo Chen and asked him to go down where he waits for his school bus with other children from their building.
After Mo Chen left, Mo Roulan walked around the table and kneeled down in front of her mother. Holding her mother's hand in her hands, she said
"Mom…you might not understand me but they seem a little off to me …as if they want something from us and that's why trying to get close."
Lin Qianru frown only went deeper and she was about to open her mouth to say something when Mo Roulan's hold on her mother's hand tightened and she pleaded.
"Mom, I rarely asks something from you, right?"
Lin Qianru immediately nodded her head.
It was true, after all.
Mo Roulan sighed and said
"So I am asking you to stay away from Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's family. Can't you complete just my one wish?"
Mo Roulan now didn't have any choice but to make her mother agree by using her innocent face.
In the end, Lin Qianru agreed with Mo Roulan and promised her that she will try hers best to stay away from their new neighbors.
Mo Roulan was relieved and stood up to leave the dining room.
As she left, Lin Qianru stared at her back suddenly remembering how five years ago, Mo Roulan had warned her the same for Su Mian but she had not listened to him.
She didn't know why her daughter felt like that for their new neighbors but this time, she will definitely listen to whatever she was saying.
If she said that there was something wrong with their new neighbors then there must be something wrong.
Making her heart determined with this fact, she was now ready to ignore no matter how much Xun Weilan invites her to their home.

On the other hand, Mo Roulan had just locked the door of her apartment when she saw Chu Feng standing outside the He Jian's apartment with an anxious face.
She was surprised and immediately asked the worried assistant.
"Assistant Chu, Did something happen? Why do you look so worried?"
Chu Feng saw Mo Roulan and tried to show a polite smile on his lips however remained unsuccessful.
In the end, he told Mo Roulan the reason behind his worry.
"Miss Mo, since last night, Boss is not taking any calls. I had thought it was only because he slept early. However, today it has been so long but the boss didn't come out even after the driver and I was completely ready. It is not something Boss does. Boss is very punctual. He always calls me early morning to ask about his schedule and then calls again to ask the driver to get the car ready. However, today none of this happened. I am very worried. What if something…"
Chu Feng couldn't even complete his words.
"I can't even go inside the apartment as I don't know the password to unlock the door. What should I do, I .... "
Chu Feng said so many things and Mo Roulan looked at him blankly. Her mouth was parted slightly in shock as if she was looking at the eighth wonder of the world.
For Mo Roulan, it was actually the eighth wonder of world.
She had never thought that even Chu Feng could look so nervous. She could tell clearly how nervous and scared he was that he couldn't stop from blabbering. He spoke so fast that she couldn't understand a single thing and …he was still blabbering.
Mo Roulan raised her hand signing Chu Feng to stop speaking and fortunately he did.
"Assistant Chu, take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down. Then tell me what happened?"
Chu Feng did as Mo Roulan said. When he finally calmed down a few moments later, also felt embarrassed by his behavior but he didn't have any time to ponder over his embarrassment.
He told Mo Roulan again everything but this time, fortunately, she could understand him.
When Chu Feng finished, Mo Roulan had a deep frown on her forehead.
She remembered that she had called He Jian last night but he had not picked it up. At that time, she was very worried about Mo Chen so she had not taken it as a big thing but now after hearing everything from Chu Feng, it was very unusual of He Jian not to pick any call from his personal number.
Now even she was starting to feel worried for He Jian.
She stepped forward to stand in front of He Jian's apartment. Chu Feng immediately moved aside to make space for her.
Mo Roulan rang the doorbell but no one opened the door after a few moments.
"Mr. He…"
She knocked on the door again and again but no one responded from inside.
She suddenly looked at the machine that could open the door after filling in the password. Something from the past life flashed in her mind.
Could that be the password?
She licked her lips lightly and wondered if she should give it a try.
In the end, she sighed and finally filled in the password she had in her mind.
