Mo Roulan spent the next few days inside her home only.
Sitting on her bed, Mo Roulan looked at the wheelchair placed in the corner with contempt-filled eyes. At the same moment, Lin Qianru entered the room.
Seeing her daughter's expression, she shook her head helplessly.
"I don't understand why do you hate this thing so much?"
She said as she entered the room with Mo Roulan's washed clothes in her hands.
"Mom, I want to walk around the house. I am fine now."
Mo Roulan said with helplessness in her voice.
Lin Qianru folded Mo Roulan's clothes as she shook her head and said
"I would have allowed you to do so but the doctor just said yesterday that you should not put too much pressure on your feet for the next few days."
Mo Roulan sighed in frustration.
Just at this moment, the doorbell of the apartment rang. Mo Roulan's face suddenly had a not-so-good expression.
It must be him!
She saw a smile on her mother's face and her eyes narrowed to see how immediately her mother put down her clothes on the bed turned to leave the room.
"Don't open the door, Mom."
Mo Roulan said with narrowed eyes. Lin Qianru stopped amidst her steps and looked at her daughter with surprise.
"But why?"
She asked her curiously.
Mo Roulan pouted a little and said
"It must be him. It is he who brought this wheelchair here for me. I don't want to talk to him."
Lin Qianru looked at her daughter speechlessly. She never knew that Mo Roulan could also behave this unreasonably.
"Mr. He is just looking out for you, Roulan. You should be grateful to him instead of talking like this about him."
Lin Qianru said strictly and Mo Roulan only pouted more.
At this moment, the nurse who had been assigned for Mo Chen and was staying in Mo family apartment came to the door and told Lin Qianru.
"Miss Lin, Should I go and open the door?"
Lin Qinaru smiled seeing the kind-hearted and middle-aged nurse and nodded her head.
"Please, Miss Tong. It must be He Jian. Please have him sit in the living room. I will be there soon."
Miss Tong nodded her head with a soft smile on her lips and then left from there.
On the other hand, Lin Qianru sighed seeing her silent daughter. She would have liked it at any other occasion if Mo Roulan had behaved this childishly because it was very rare for her to behave like this.
"Roulan"
She walked to her daughter and held her face in between her hands as she said seriously.
"I feel very grateful that He Jian is here to look out for us because I know that no matter how much I try to deny I need such a person to look out for my children, after all, your mother is not that strong and powerful."
"Mom…"
Mo Roulan frowned and tried to stop her mother from saying such words. However, Lin Qianru ignored her daughter's expression and continued
"Let me finish. This is City, Roulan…City H. You don't know how life can become harsh here if you try to cross those who are from noble families. They can suppress because they have power so in the end, no matter how much you try, how much intelligent you are, you still need that power to surpass them."
Mo Roulan lowered her gaze. She didn't really have anything to say after what her mother said. Perhaps because somewhere she knew that what her mother was saying was actually right.
It was not true that she didn't know this.
She too had lived a very good amount of time in City S with He Jian in her past life and she learned it very well after she was abandoned by him.
She soon got to know that she was actually nothing without him in such a big city.
Though she slowly made her own place in City H still she lost it too soon also because she was not powerful enough to save herself and her child.
"Mom doesn't want you to feel low, Roulan."
Lin Qianru continued when she saw her daughter's lower head. She stroked her hair. Her eyes were slightly wet as she said
"My daughter is no less than others. Mom knows it very well but sometimes you can also become weak. Just like this time…you were also not here. Mo Chen was also missing. I didn't even know where I should go and search for both of you. I didn't know whether both of you are together and if something hap…"
Lin Qinaru swallowed as she couldn't gather the courage to complete her words.
Mo Roulan held her mother's hands that were holding her face and she kissed them lightly.
"It is just …you got a wrong mother."
"No, Mom…"
Mo Roulan shook her head as she hugged her mother's waist like a child. Her own eyes were filled with tears.
"I love you, Mom and you are the strongest and loveliest mother for me."
Lin Qianru smiled through her tears bitterly but she didn't say anything.
She just caressed her daughter's head and said
"I just want you to accept He Jian's favors for now because we don't have any other way. Always remember whatever he is doing for you and after you become independent enough, we will pay him back …but for now, Roulan let him look out for you."
Mo Roulan closed her eyes and nodded her head while hugging her mother's waist.
Only now she got to know how many thoughts and worries her mother had inside her mind. Not only Mo Chen and her but this incident had affected their whole family actually.
Mo Roulan concluded.
She could feel her mother's worry and panic today very clearly.
Mo Roulan leaned back to look at her mother's face. Her eyes were still teary as she said
"I will do what you said but Mom, never think that you are weak. You have raised Mo Chen and me for so many years alone. A weak woman can never do this and…"
Mo Roulan smiled through her tears and continued
"You being here is enough for me."
