Shen Yiling paced around her room as she tried Shen Youlin's number for the umpteenth time in this week.
Frustration flashed through her eyes when the call didn't go through and she threw her phone away to her bed.
She then herself walked to sit on the edge of the bed a few moments later.
Clutching her hair tightly, she screamed
"Ah…what should I do?"
She wanted to find Shen Youlin because Shen Yiling knew that that girl Mo Roulan was her very close friend.
She had not been able to rest peacefully since the day she had seen He Jian running out of the restaurant for her.
Although Shi Fengju had assured her many times that Mo Roulan meant nothing to He Jian except that she saved him five years ago, Shen Yiling felt very threatened.
She didn't know if He Jian had some feelings for that Mo Roulan or not, she just wanted to eliminate any possibility of happening something unfortunate for her.
However, she didn't have any way to find out anything about Mo Roulan.
Since the crisis happened in Shen company were not that low, she had been given a fixed amount of money this week to spend. She couldn't even hire someone and then investigate Mo Roulan.
Because if she did, she would have to spend money then how would she shop some new dressed for herself.
In this chaos, only Shen Youlin was her last hope. From Shen Youlin, she could find almost everything about Mo Roulan.
However, since these past few weeks, she had not seen or talked to Shen Youlin even once.
Shen Yiling's fear of losing He Jian as only increasing day by day now.
She didn't even go to He Corporation after that day and swiftly took a leave of few weeks.
She was afraid that He Jian would fire her if he saw her by any chance in his office. After all, she also belonged to Shen family.
So now, she had not seen He Jian again for so many days.
Even her mother refused to hear anything about Shen Youlin.
So Shen Yiling couldn't help but feel frustrated.
In the end, she went out of her room and went to her parents room with not so a good face.
Shen Zhilan had again returned late from the office and was sleeping peacefully after a long time. However the loud and continuous knocks on the door woke her up.
She felt very irritated. Her head was really hurting. However, the knocks didn't stop at all.
Angrily she climbed down from the bed and opened the door.
"What in the h**l went wrong for you to kn…"
Shen Zhilan was shouting furiously thinking that it was some servant. However, when she saw that it was Shen Yiling she stopped amidst her shouting and asked with a frown.
"Yiling, what happened? Why are you crying?"
Shen Yiling immediately hugged her mother and said
"Mom…I am so afraid. I will lose him before even trying to get him."
Shen Zhilan sighed as she understood very well what Shen Yiling was talking about.
She patted her daughter's back and then made her sit on the bed.
"I am sorry, Mom. You must be tired and I came to disturb you."
The irritation that Shen Zhilan was feeling inside her was easily swept away by these words. She sighed lightly and then sat beside Shen Yiling.
"It's okay. Tell me what happened."
At this question, Shen Yiling told her mother everything that happened the last time she had met He Jian in the restaurant.
Shen Zhilan couldn't help but frown after hearing everything.
A few moments later, she looked at Shen Yiling again and said
"Yiling, I think you should not think about Hr Jian any longer. He harmed our company in such a merciless way. I don't think he will ever be able to give you the love and care you deserve."
Shen Yiling's eyes flickered with anger when she heard this.
She immediately composed herself and said
"Mom, how can you say this?"
She pretended to look very hurt and continued
"I like He Jian very much and Mom…"
Shen Yiling held her mother's hand as she said
"Have you ever imagined what it would be like if I married He Jian? He is so powerful that he could harm our company with his one move. Mom, If I married him and won his heart, have you ever imagined where can Shen Enterprises reach?"
Shen Yiling chose very right words to entice Shen Zhilan. Now Shen Zhilan was indeed imagining what Shen Yiling just told her.
To her, Shen Enterprises was everything. Something for which she could do anything and had already done many sins in her life.
So how could she not find this deal tempting!
Having He Jian on their side, having all the resources and money from He Corporation …where could Shen Enterprises reach, she couldn't help but excited imagining this.
Seeing the shine in her mother's eyes, the wheels of Shen Yiling's mind started to turn faster and she pleaded
"Mom, you will have to help me only then we can take Shen Enterprises to the new heights."
Shen Zhilan immediately nodded her head and said
"What do I need to do? Tell Mom."
Shen Yiling was instantly happy and said
"Mom, first we need to find Youlin."
Shen Zhilan frowned at these words.
"What do you need her for?"
Shen Yiling said immediately
"Mom, Youlin knows that Mo Roulan. I want to find everything about her so that I can find out after that how much she means to He Jian. If she is a threat to me, I would have to do something."
Shen Zhilan nodded her head slowly.
Her eyebrows were knitted as she said suddenly
"Shen Weisheng…I had heard from the butler that Youlin was staying at his house."
Envy flashed through Shen Yiling's eyes for a moment. She had seen Shen Weisheng's villa. It was so big and beautiful. She remembered how she had indirectly indicated to him that she would love to stay there for some time but he never invited her there.
However, Shen Youlin was staying there.
Shen Yiling suppressed her jealousy and said
"Mom, why don't you call and ask big brother to come to Shen Mansion to have dinner with us."
Shen Zhilan also nodded her head and then started to find her phone so that she could call her son.
On the other hand, Shen Yiling already started to think of the plans by which she could make Shen Youlin feel low.
How could she just let her little sister just go like that!
How dare she try to have something that she can't have!
