The week passed peacefully. Fortunately, Mo Roulan didn't see He Jian this week again after that night's dinner, or perhaps she was trying really hard to avoid him, and hence it was her accomplishment.
But for how long everything can remain peaceful?
It was the weekend and Mo Roulan was home with her little brother. Her mother had to go to her job. Sitting in the living room, she was reading a book very peacefully.
However, this peace was disrupted when someone rang the doorbell. She looked at the door cautiously. Putting her book aside, she, first of all, tried to look outside the door through the peephole but didn't see anyone standing there.
A frown marred her smooth forehead. She nonchalantly stepped back and went back to the sofa to continue her book.
A few moments later, her eyes were filled with panic when she heard a 'click'. She swiftly turned her head to look at the door and found that the lock was open now.
How did someone open the door without a key or password?
Mo Roulan's first reaction was to lock the door of Mo Chen's room from outside.
She comforted herself that it might be her mother. But still, she could not help but feel afraid.
The door opened and when Mo Roulan saw the people stepping inside, her eyes went cold and sharp.
Mo Roulan's father had two brothers out of which one was dead and one was still alive. But for Mo Roulan, all of her relatives were dead since the day no one out of them helped her when she needed. She still remembered how she had begged in front of her Second Uncle and Second Aunt to give her money for her mother's operation but everything was in vain.
Her aunt was so greedy that while she was making preparations for her mother's funeral, she went to her house and searched everywhere if there was anything she could take away.
Instead of helping her, her Aunt took her mother's only belonging, a diamond necklace, from their home.
Mo Roulan heart had become so cold after that incident that she didn't even struggle when they sent her and her little brother to the orphanage.
With such relatives, they were really orphans after her mother's death.
----------------------
At the doorway, stood her aunt with a key in her hand. When she saw her, she immediately let her two children inside, a boy older than Mo Chen and a girl of her age.
Then she saw a fat, middle-aged man stepping inside the house.
She walked towards her aunt to tell her to get out of her house. However, perhaps her aunt, Wen Zuyan, might have known this so she immediately closed the door and locked it with a key.
"How did you get the key of my house?"
Mo Roulan asked coldly and Wen Zuyan glared viciously at her hearing her tone. With not so smile on her lips, she sneered
"My dear niece, why don't you ask this question from your mother instead of me?"
Then she looked at the middle-aged fat man and said
"Chief Zhi, this is my niece. Although her tongue is quite long, I hope you will handle her very well."
Mo Roulan heard her aunt's words and glanced at the man with a bloated belly. Seeing the way he was looking at herself, she felt cold sweat forming behind her back.
She looked at her aunt in disbelief and muttered breathlessly.
"I can't believe that you really have not any limits of maliciousness."
Wen Zuyan smile disappeared at her words and she looked at Mo Roulan while she tsked
"Tsk...you really don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Do you even know how rich Chief Zhi is? Your Aunt brought such a man to marry you. You should kneel down and thank me instead of slandering me like this."
Mo Roulan sneered coldly and replied
"Then why don't you marry your daughter to him?"
Standing beside her mother, Mo Julan was furious when she heard Mo Roulan. She stepped in front of Mo Roulan and raised her hand to slap her face.
However, Mo Roulan was faster. She caught Mo Julan's raised hand and twisted it painfully behind her back.
"Ahh…Mom …. tell this crazy to leave me. It hurts so much."
Wen Zuyan came forward and tried to free her daughter's hand but Mo Roulan didn't leave Mo Julan's hand no matter how much she tried.
"Leave Juju's hand. How can she marry before you when she is younger than you?"
Mo Roulan could still feel the disgusting gaze of the man on herself. Her aunt's words only made her afraid more. She strengthened her heart and twisted Mo Julan's arm more painfully making her cry out loud.
"Leave my home all of you right now otherwise aunt otherwise shouldn't blame me when you will spend your whole life in prison."
"What prison? What crime have I committed? You useless girl…I am giving you such a good opportunity and you want to send me to prison. Since you don't have your father, I and your uncle have the right to make decisions regarding your marriage."
Mo Roulan thought that her aunt was really a madwoman.
"Opportunity? I know you very well. He must have given you something in exchange for all this and the greedy you came to me shamelessly. I am not even of the right age to get married yet by law and you want me to marry this pig. In your dreams…"
Wen Juyan face went red because her intentions were seen by Mo Roulan. Of course, the man was ready to talk about Mo Julan's admission in Central University if Mo Roulan married him. She has been feeling so suffocated since the day her useless niece got admission in Central University so when she saw the chance for her daughter why would she step back and won't take it.
While the middle-aged fat man who has been standing quietly and looking at Mo Roulan lecherously was called a pig and felt angry.
He looked at Mo Roulan and smirked.
"You don't need to worry about law or anything else. After all, Money speaks everywhere."
Mo Roulan really wanted to punch his chubby face.
But everyone's attention was suddenly turned towards the door of a room. Someone from inside was trying to open the door.
Mo Roulan looked at the door in horror. Inside that room was Mo Chen.
