"Are you alright my dear?"
Ji Zhen asked as she looked at Mo Roulan with concern-filled eyes.
Mo Roulan nodded her head and answered with a calm expression on her face.
"Yes, Ma’am."
Ji Zhen was relieved. After that, she looked at the reporter with cold eyes and said to her assistant.
"File a case against him and make sure that he loses his license for doing such an act."
"Yes, Ma’am."
The assistant said while Ji Zhen looked at Mo Roulan with a smile on her lips again.
"If you don’t mind then I can drop you at your home?"
Mo Roulan hesitated before nodding her head. After witnessing what happened, it would be a folly to go alone.
Ji Zhen looked happy with her decision and affectionately held Mo Roulan’s hand as she moved towards the car.
It made Mo Roulan feel strange.
She wondered why Ji Zhen’s behavior was like this towards her. It looked as if she was very close to her. But she had never met Ji Zhen in her life before.
The car started towards He Mansion.
Lost in her own thoughts, Mo Roulan failed to realize that the driver never asked her for the address...as if he already knew where Mo Roulan lived.

The video of He Jian picking Mo Roulan in his arms and going toward the Marriage bureau had gone viral a few days ago and now many people had seen it.
However, those who had seen Mo Roulan personally...only those could recognize her in the video.
Shi Fengju and Shen Yiling were also amidst these people.
When Shen Yiling saw the video, she was so angry that she wanted to destroy everything around her.
However, at that moment, she was sitting in the dining room.
Her weird behavior didn’t go unnoticed by her mother’s eyes. Shen Zhilan was exhausted after doing office work all day. She was now a simple employee in some company and earned to complete her family’s basic needs.
She wanted to ignore her daughter because she was tired. But her eyes unconsciously fell on the screen of her daughter’s phone and her face went somber when she realized what it was.
Shen Zhilan had actually heard people talking about this in her office and she had been worried about how her daughter would react.
However, she forgot to talk to her daughter since she had been very busy.
"Yiling, stay away from them."
Shen Zhilan warned coldly and Shen Yiling raised her head to look at her mother.
Her eyes were red and teary which melted Shen Zhilan’s heart but she could only pat her daughter’s cheek and tell her
"Don’t cross their ways, Yiling. We are already going through enough."
If it was two years ago, Shen Zhilan would have never said such words. But the past two years had taught her a lot.
In these past two years, she had tried to build back her business many times but He Jian had always pushed her down.
One night she had even received his call only to hear his cruel words.
"You are able to do a job in a company because my father had asked me not to snatch it from you otherwise ....you won’t even have that. If you and your daughter approached my Lanlan or her family in the future, then remember this...I will destroy you to the extent that you will regret living."
Since then, Shen Zhilan had never tried to start a new company again.
She just comforted herself with this small job.
On the other hand, Shen Yiling felt very angry upon hearing her mother’s words but she couldn’t really say anything.
After all, her mother could cut the meager money she received.
"Alright, Mom. I understand."
She said with a forced smile on her lips and Shen Zhilan was relieved.
However, inside her heart, Shen Yiling’s will to get He Jian was more than firm ever.
She could never digest the defeat against Mo Roulan.
And hence she would not sit idly.

When Shi Fengju saw the video, he didn’t know what he was feeling.
He just felt suffocation inside his chest and put his phone away.
After that, he laid down on the bed to sleep but sleep never came to his eyes.
The past few nights have always passed for him like this and he didn’t know for how long it was going to continue.
On the other hand, somewhere far in City H, inside a beautiful mansion, an old woman had tears in her eyes as she watched the video.
"Darling!"
Hearing a voice, she turned her head immediately and walked towards the old man. The old man frowned seeing the tears in her eyes and asked
"Darling, are you alright?"
The old woman only sniffed in response and pushed the phone in front of him as she whisper
"Ruru..."
The old man stiffened and his face went emotionless hearing the name. After a moment, he finally looked at the phone only to frown in confusion.
He only saw a girl in a man’s arms. After that, he read the caption and asked out aloud
"Who is this girl?"
The old woman glared at him when she heard his question and said
"She is Ruru."
"But darling....she is so young."
The old man reasoned.
"She is Ruru....Ruru looked exactly like this when she was young."
The old man’s eyes flickered when he heard that and he looked at the girl again. Indeed, when he saw the girl in the video carefully, he couldn’t deny his wife’s words.
But what did it have to do with him...even if she looked like Ruru?
The old man thought and his eyes went cold again. However, they never moved away from the girl as well.
The old woman was impatient when she saw him silent and pulled his sleeve.
Seeing this the old man sighed and finally gave in
"Alright, I will ask someone to investigate this girl."
The old woman smiled upon hearing these words and continued to watch the video after that.
