Chapter 182 - Grandfather He Asks Mo Roulan To Leave City H

For a moment, Mo Roulan found herself in a very different place after Grandfather He completed his words.

It was a place where she never wanted to reach in her present life.

It was a place where her weak self would start to control over her strength she had gathered in all these years.

Her fingers trembled.

'Why are so weak again?

Didn't you know that it was supposed to happen in this life also? 

What had you thought? Just because you changed your path … He Jian will also perhaps never marry Shen Yiling?'

A voice inside her mind said and a faint ache spread through Mo Roulan's heart.

The pain was good actually because it made her aware what she was doing.

Mo Roulan instantly composed herself.

With clenched fists, she told herself again and again.

'She didn't love He Jian now.'

She didn't love him now.   

To her, the only thing that mattered was her family.

And it was kind of easy this time.

Because she soon found herself smiling in front of Grandfather He softly.

"Is it? I never knew any such thing."   

Grandfather He looked at the smile on girl's lips. When Mo Roulan had stopped smiling just a few moments ago, he had thought that whatever he was doing and whatever he was going to do was exactly right.

Hmph…

The girl really had her thoughts set on his grandson.

However just a few moments later, which meant now Mo Roulan was smiling.

And he couldn't find any fault with that smile.

It seemed genuine as if she was happy for He Jian. Just like when someone close to use feels happy that we are going to move towards the next part of her life.

And this genuine happiness only meant that she didn't have that kind of thoughts on He Jian. 

Grandfather He suddenly had a very awkward kind of feeling inside his heart. He cleared his throat a little and then said to Mo Roulan coldly.

"It was not announced yet and because of you it would perhaps never be announced now."

The smile from Mo Roulan's lips disappeared instantly.

She thought over Grandfather He's previous words about what He Jian did to Shen family and then his cold behavior, Mo Roulan's eyes suddenly became very calm and indifferent.

Somehow now she could guess why she was being brought here.

"Girl, I don't think that I need to tell you in detail everything now."

Mo Roulan heard Grandfather He's cold voice again and he didn't stop there …he continued

"This old man is grateful to you that you saved my grandson's life. If ever in my life, there came a chance to repay you with my own life then this old man would never hesitate to do so. However I can't see the most important part of my grandson's life getting ruined because of you. Shen Yiling was the best girl He Jian could ever get but he is destroying every chance of any such relationship just because of you." 

With each and every word of Grandfather He, Mo Roulan's eyes became more and more indifferent. Her lips were pressed in a thin line as she silently heard everything Grandfather He said.

However she also had her bottom line.

Which Grandfather He crossed when the next moment, he put a check in front of Mo Roulan and said

"Take this and leave City H with your family."

'They talked like this in those dramas on TV right?' Thought Grandfather He as he tried to look cold and intimidating. 

Mo Roulan coldly glanced at check.

Five million Yuan.

It was a very large sum of money. Enough for her to spend her life carelessly with her family even if she doesn't do any job that gave her money till her old age.

However, her eyes didn't flicker even a little bit seeing that amount …they remained cold and indifferent.

Even Butler Zhang could see the change in Mo Roulan's attitude. He couldn't help but curse the old man inside his heart for his folly in recognizing people.

'If one apple comes out to be rotten it doesn't mean that every apple is rotten unless it had been placed with that rotten apple.'

But how could he make his old man understand this thing who had seen his son changing with his own eyes after his daughter-in-law suddenly left him with a large sum of money. 

It was only Grandfather He who didn't sense this change or perhaps he pretended really well not to notice it even if he saw. 

"I have prepared everything for you, Jian will never come to know where you left …you just need to manage your family. About Jian … I will manage everything here."

"Why should I leave?"

Mo Roulan said very coldly and Grandfather He was left completely startled by her question.

The next moment, however, his eyes went colder because he thought that Mo Roulan found the amount of money very less. So he asked coldly   

"How much do you want? Just say the price."

Anything to make this girl leave his grandson.

Contrary to an amount of money, Mo Roulan asked a question to Grandfather He with an innocent face.

"Is money that important?"

Grandfather He was baffled by such question and looked at Mo Roulan as if she had grown two horns on her head. However, her innocent face only expressed that she was genuinely asking that question… not for fun.

Grandfather He thought that the girl was young so perhaps she really didn't know what value the money had so he said seriously.

"Of Course. To live a good life, money is very important."

"Oh…"

Mo Roulan raised her brows and nodded her head lightly at Grandfather He words as if she was thinking over the said words.

"Then does Grandfather He also loves money?" 

"Of Course" Grandfather He said strongly.

"Any amount of money?"

Grandfather He looked confused for a moment before he nodded his head.

"Of Course …any amount of money. You should accept it even if it is a small amount in the exchange of the things you can do…the things that don't harm you in any way." Grandfather He said whatever came in his mind. 

He thought that Mo Roulan was a child who would be manipulated by his words and hence she would accept this amount of money silently.

In the end, It was still a great amount so he didn't feel any regret in doing this.

However, what happened next was never expected by Grandfather He.
