Chapter 386 The Uncomfortable Dinner At He Mansion
The dining roomof He Mansion for the first time was lively in so many years. That was what Butler Zhao thought as he stepped inside the dining room with servants following him who put different kinds of delicious dishes on the dining table. Grandfather He was asking Mo Roulan about the details of the incident that had disturbed her whole family a few days ago. Sitting on her chair, Shen Yiling looked at this scene...more like glared. She was also here but she could see that Grandfather He's whole attention was on Mo Roulan only since the moment Mo Roulan had stepped inside the He Mansion. She remembered the grin on his face when Mo Roulan had greeted him softly and her heart was filled with anger. The old man had not smiled the same way when she had greeted him. Her eyes went red when she remembered how he was comforting her last night when she had told him that she feared...that He Jian would never accept her. That he already had someone in his life.
That she believed that that girl was none other than Mo Roulan. That's right. Last night after Shi Fengju had left Shen Mansion, Shen Yiling had called Grandfather He about everything. The old man was the only person in He family on whom she could rely on.
Shen Yiling knew it very well. Grandfather He had asked her the reason as to why she felt this. Responding to this question, Shen Yiling had told him that she saw Mo Roulan in He Corporation and also how He Jian changed their positions and also the jobs both of them were supposed to do. However, Grandfather He had tried to assure Shen Yiling by saying that He Jian was just trying to make this internship easy for Mo Roulan by doing all this. In other words, he was just repaying Mo Roulan.
However, Shen Yiling had cried her heart out on the phone and had said it again and again.
'She will steal Brother Jian from me."
He Zhuang raised his head with a slightly bored expression on his face and said casually.
"Jian..."
Hearing his father's cold voice, He Jian said casually
"Sorry"
He didn't even raise his head to apologize, making Mo Roulan blink her eyes uncomfortable at his rude behavior.
She saw how Grandfather still didn't look satisfied but had to shut his mouth as if he knew that he won't get anything more than that to comfort his heart. Regardless of what kind of man Grandfather He was and how he behaved with her at their first meeting, this was not how He Jian should behave with his grandfather. The old man clearly loved him. Mo Roulan had seen that day the way Grandfather He was trying to send her away from He Jian. Because he thought she was not a good girl for He Jian. However, Mo Roulan also knew that she didn't have any right to speak in these matters. So she silently lowered her head and continued to have her dinner. However, Shen Yiling seemed to find a good opportunity to win He family's heart through her 'sensible' words.
