Mo Roulan looked at the people seated inside the room.
Her eyes went cold as she looked at them one by one.
Liu Ji Fan, Fang Zhihan, and Shi Fengju were also looking at her, however, the three had welcoming smiles on their lips.
When they saw her, they even stood up from their chairs and said
"Mo Roulan, come, come. We have been waiting for you and Jian for so long."
However, she couldn’t move at all. She lowered her head as she wondered how she could leave from there right now.
A hand suddenly held her waist and she knew who it was.
"Lanlan, let’s go. I am here."
Mo Roulan raised her head slightly to look at He Jian.
When she saw his gentle eyes, she didn’t know why but she forgot every fear of hers and indeed took a step forward.
It was only when she was seated at the chair, Mo Roulan thought again that she should have left.
She didn’t want to have any kind of talk with He Jian’s friends. Except for Shen Weisheng, she didn’t feel comfortable enough to have any kind of talk with any of them.
"So how are you doing in the company, Mo Roulan?"
It was Fang Zhihan who tried to initiate the conversation. Mo Roulan raised her head and looked at him.
When she saw the smile on his lips, she could tell that it was genuine. However, what went across her mind was the mockery and insult she had faced from him in her past life.
Her lips didn’t even part to answer his question.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward. Fang Zhihan stopped smiling and now looked confused as he saw Mo Roulan’s emotionless face.
It was not the first time he could feel Mo Roulan’s dislike for himself.
In the past also whenever he had tried to talk to her, she would look like this.
Did he ever do something that upset her?
Fang Zhihan thought that he should ask Mo Roulan about it. However, before he could open his mouth, the door of the private room opened and a soft voice sounded inside the room.
"Brother Fengju."
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the new person who had entered the room.
"Yiling"
Shi Fengju stood up from the chair he was seated on and walked towards Shen Yiling with a smile on her lips.
Mo Roulan who had been sitting silently looked stiffer when she saw Shen Yiling.
She glanced at He Jian wondering what the meaning behind all this was.
He Jian was already frowning and when he saw Mo Roulan’s emotionless face, he knew that she was very upset.
The frown on his forehead deepened and he said coldly to Shi Fengju who was helping Shen Yiling with a chair to sit on.
"Shi Fengju, did you call her here?"
Shi Fengju and Shen Yiling stopped smiling and Shen Yiling for the first time glanced at He Jian.
Her heart throbbed and her eyes brightened. She had been trying to avoid looking at him because she didn’t want to lose her mind seeing Mo Roulan sitting just beside him.
"Yes, Jian. Yiling is...."
Shi Fnegju couldn’t even finish his words because He Jian held Mo Roulan’s hand and stood up.
"Then have fun with her. I and Lanlan are leaving."
Shen Yiling couldn’t help but feel shocked when she heard his direct words. Did he hate her so much?
As she looked at their entwined hands, her heart was filled with resentment.
Shi Fengju had also not expected that He Jian would behave like this. However, Fang Zhihan and Liu Ji Fan were not surprised.
They were in fact surprised and disappointed with Shi Fengju.
"Jian, what are you saying? Don’t be like this. You will upset Yiling."
Shi Fengju felt distressed when he saw Shen Yiling’s lowered head.
However, He Jian didn’t seem to care about anything and turned around to leave with Mo Roulan.
Shen Yiling immediately came out of her trance and blocked their way. She couldn’t let this chance slip away.
Looking at He Jian’s cold face, she couldn’t help but whisper with tear-filled eyes.
"Brother Jian, do you hate me so much?"
He Jian frowned at the way she called him.
He looked at Mo Roulan’s emotionless face. It scared him because he was worried that she will misunderstand something.
Last time, this girl had started to date someone else when she had come to know that he was going to get engaged with Shen Yiling ...something that he himself didn’t know.
He ignored Shen Yiling and wanted to walk away but Shen Yiling blocked his way again and said suddenly.
"Is it because of her?"
Shen Yiling looked at Mo Roulan coldly as she said these words.
She despised how Mo Roulan was looking straight into her eyes. How dare she!
Shen Yiling looked at He Jian again and was suddenly like the most worried person for him on this earth as she said
"Brother Jian, you are being deceived. She is not as good as you think. You dislike me right? It is because I had her stay in the prison for a night. You are right. I did it. But I did it because I knew that she was not a good girl. She only wants your money, Broth...."
"Shen Yiling!"
Shen Yiling flinched as she looked at the furious He Jian.
Her heart was filled with more anger and resentment seeing her being so angry and protective of Mo Roulan.
She glanced at Mo Roulan again who looked calm.
She knew that Mo Roulan must be gloating inside her heart for her misfortune. However, she would soon let her know that it was she who was at loss.
He Jian just wanted to leave and Shen Yiling knew that she needed to speak hurriedly.
Though she had wanted to create some more drama so that the impact on He Jian’s heart would be more and he would hate Mo Roulan more and more, she knew that she didn’t have that much time.
She looked at Mo Roulan and said
"Brother Jian, you like her because she saved your life, right?"
Mo Roulan looked at Shen Yiling and heard her question. She had a guess inside her heart.
And sure enough, the next moment Shen Yiling said
"What I say that Mo Roulan never saved you? Brother Jian, in fact, five years ago, she had helped those kidnappers in kidnapping you. You are being deceived by her."
And with these words, Mo Roulan’s body went cold.
