(In The Past Life)
Standing in front of the huge building, Mo Roulan looked at its height with tear-filled eyes.
She blinked vigorously when her eyes fell on the nameplate.
'He Corporation.'
He Jian was here in City H. When she had heard this news, she had been unable to believe it. He had finally agreed to take his family business.
Mo Roulan remembered very well that she had heard him talking to her grandfather and father sometimes where he had directly refused to take the He Corporation in his hands.
However, she had heard from the butler who had started to dislike her with the time that He Jian was doing this because of her.
The old butler had told her that no one except He Jian in the He family liked her and hence He Jian was staying in City S just because of her.
Mo Roulan, however, didn't think so.
Was she that important to He Jian? She used to think that before but not now. She was never that important to him.
She was nothing but a girl who saved him for him whom he was repaying her and now that he knew that he didn't actually need to repay anything, he threw her away.
He Jian was staying in City S because he had his own company there…a company that was built by his own hard work…or that was what she thought.
That's why she had been surprised to hear that He Jian was in City H now.
A part of her heart had been happy to think that she would be able to see him perhaps once in a while sometimes and another part of her heart had firmly decided that she would not show her face to him again.
However, the ongoing tragedy of her life had brought her again.
And now she stood in front of He Corporation.
She had been looking for Mo Chen everywhere she could but she couldn't find anything. In the end, Mo Roulan had to see help and there was only one person who could help her in this.
And that person was He Jian.
She needed his help in finding her brother.
As she stared at the huge building again, Mo Roulan placed her hand on her stomach. It was bulging now.
It had been almost four months since she saw He Jian now.
How would he react if she told him that she was pregnant with his child! Will he be happy or will he hate her more!
A tear still slid out of Mo Roulan's eyes as she smiled bitterly. Could he even hate her more than he did already?
Gathering all her courage, Mo Roulan stepped towards the entrance.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The guard stopped Mo Roulan immediately when he saw that she was going inside the building without any care.
His forehead had a frown as he looked at Mo Roulan from up and down.
"I need to meet Mr. He."
Mo Roulan said but she thought that she should elaborate more.
"Young Master He…Can I go and see him once?"
The frown suddenly vanished from the security guard's forehead but Mo Roulan saw how his eyes were now as he looked at her.
He was judging her.
After all, it was quite normal for the woman with a bloated stomach to show up and say that she wanted to meet someone from a rich family. After that, what happened was very obvious. She would claim that the child belonged to that man from the rich family and ask the person to take the responsibility.
Fortunately, the security guard didn't behave rudely and asked her quite patiently and politely
"Ma'am, do you have any appointment?"
Mo Roulan went silent for a moment and then shook her head. The security guard's face didn't have any emotion but he said seriously.
"I am sorry, Ma'am. We can't allow you to go inside then."
Mo Roulan's heart sank and she almost pleaded.
"But it is very important."
The security guard didn't let Mo Roulan enter the He Corporation regardless of what Mo Roulan said.
In the end, Mo Roulan had to walk a few steps away from him and take out her phone from her bag that was hanging on her shoulders.
She first drank some water from her bottle. Although the company was in the same city, she had to travel for almost two hours to reach here and she was feeling very tired because she had not been able to rest for the past few days as she had been very worried for her brother.
Since the moment, she couldn't find anything from Xun Weilan about Mo Chen, Mo Roulan had been thinking about her brother.
She didn't even know where he was now and she was very worried about him because of this.
It took her great courage to come here and find He Jian. The big part of this reason was Mo Chen only not her child.
And since she was here, she was not going to give up just like that.
Mo Roulan slid the screen of her phone and dialed a number. The call went through, fortunately.
"Hello"
The manly voice came from the other side and Mo Roulan said immediately.
"Hello, Assistant Chu, this is Mo Roulan."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for the next few moments before Chu Feng's voice came.
"Why did you call me?"
Mo Roulan was startled for a moment when she sensed the coldness in Chu Feng's voice. Chu Feng had never talked to her like that before. It took her a moment to compose herself and she said politely.
"Assistant Chu, I am in front of He Corporation and I want to meet Mr. He once. However, the security guard is not letting me in. Can you please…"
Chu Feng cut Mo Roulan's amidst her words sharply.
"Why do you want to see Boss?"
Mo Roulan swallowed and almost requested to Chu Feng.
"I have some urgent work. Assistant Chu, please try to understand me. I won't take much of his time."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for the next few moments before Mo Roulan heard a sound of perhaps a sigh.
"I will call the security guard. He will let you in and I will come down to get you after that."
Chu Feng hung up after saying this and Mo Roulan sighed in relief.
