Chapter 41 - Just Wait And See

Soon after Mo Roulan left the dining room, He Jian also stood up from his chair. Liu Ji Fan who was still serving more food on his plate said

"Old He Sit down. I want to eat more. It is not every day that I get such delicious food for free."

Since his back was towards Lin Qianru, He Jian didn't hide the cold look in his eyes. Seeing him like this, Liu Ji Fan raised his hands in surrender while saying

"Okay, okay. Don't look at me like that. Let's go."

Even when he got up he picked a few snacks in his hands and smiled at Lin Qianru.

"Auntie, Sorry for leaving like this. I would have accompanied you more. But what can I do? Old He just can't sleep without me."

Lin Qianru mouth parted in shock when she heard his words.

Liu Ji Fan said the last sentence in an ambiguous tone. But his smile disappeared when he felt cold knives stabbing his back.

He laughed nervously and said immediately

"Joke…Auntie, I was just joking."

Saying this, he turned around and passed a flattering smile to He Jian who ignored him and turned around to walk out of the house nonchalantly.

-------------

Eating the snacks in his hands, Liu Ji Fan passed a charming smile at the passing girl who blushed red shyly.

He then turned to look at He Jian and asked

"Who is that girl? Tell me, how do you know this Miss M…"

Liu Ji Fan suddenly paused at the end. Realization dawned on him and he exclaimed

"Is she the same girl you were looking for in the past few years? What was her name…..ha…Mo Roulan right?"

He Jian was putting the password to unlock the door and didn't answer him.

But Liu Ji Fan didn't feel discouraged and continued.

"So you moved here in this small apartment just for that girl."

The door opened and He Jian stepped inside the house.

"Still, you could have…"

Liu Ji Fan was still talking and was about to enter the house but the door was suddenly slammed on his face and he immediately stepped back.

He touched his face in shock and sighed in relief because his face was still beautiful.

Glaring at the door in anger, he shouted loudly.

"Old He, Just because your girl slammed the door on your face, you are taking that revenge on me."

The door didn't open. He remembered the password he had seen He Jian putting when they had locked the door before. So he put that password but seeing the words 'Wrong password' on the screen, his face turned black.

He used all his energy in kicking the door.

"Old He, you changed the password so that Lao Tzu won't be able to enter the house."

Liu Ji Fan suddenly thought something and smirked

"Old He, you just wait and see."

Whistling happily, he hung his coat on his shoulder and went to look for some hotel to spend the night.

------------------

That night, after dinner, Mo Roulan could not sleep. She kept dreaming about her past life. So she woke up the next morning with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

At the dining table when Lin Qianru saw her daughter's face, she was really worried and asked her many times if she was feeling unwell.

Mo Roulan just forced a light smile on her lips and said to her mother.

"Mom, if you invite the guests from the last night in the future then please tell me beforehand."

Saying this, she got up from her chair leaving the still half-filled plate and walked out of the apartment.

As much as she knows Liu Ji Fan he will definitely come again.

Her gaze unconsciously went to the closed doors of the next apartment.

'Why are you here, He Jian?'

The question revolved in her mind as she moved her eyes away and entered the elevator.

When she reached the ground floor she saw Shen Youlin was waiting for her inside the car. She got inside the car and Shen Youlin happily wished her 'Good Morning'.

Mo Roulan glanced at Shen Youlin and she found something strange by looking at her but could not point it out. She responded in a confused state and then shrugged her confused thoughts away.

The car stopped soon as college was not far away from her apartment. However, as soon as she climbed out of the car, a figure rushed to her side.

On raising her head when saw a girl, she found her familiar. But suddenly she was dragged away by Shen Youlin who hid her behind her back and stood in front of her protecting her as if a mother hen was protecting her chicks.

"Ha…you dare to show your face again. What was your name? Gu Tong…GuGu"

Shen Youlin tested various names but didn't see the furious face of the girl who was standing in front of her.

Gu Xiaotong gritted her teeth and told her name.

"Gu Xiaotong."

After that, she didn't bother with Shen Youlin and looked at Mo Roulan with a disgusted face.

"That day…that matter was my fault. You don't need to drag this matter so long."

She doesn't want to apologize in the first place but her father had told her that if she didn't get an apology from whoever she had offended, the Gu Corporation will soon go bankrupt.

Shen Youlin let out an infuriated chuckle when she how Gu Xiaotong was looking at Mo Roulan.

"Look at your face. With this shitty expression, you are not asking for forgiveness but for a slap."

Shen Youlin even rolled the sleeves of her top as if ready to slap Gu Xiaotong's face but Mo Roulan held her arm and looked at Gu Xiaotong.

"We forgive you. You should leave now."

She really doesn't want to see another drama after last night's incident so she didn't care why Gu Xiaotong suddenly apologized.

However, when she was about to walk away, Gu Xiaotong stopped her again and asked

"Since you said it yourself, don't target my dad's company any longer. Anyway, I have already been suspended from college. That should be enough to satisfy you."

Mo Roulan frowned in confusion and she and Shen Youlin looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Shen Youlin looked at Gu Xiaotong with a weird expression and said

"Talk in human's language because we didn't get even a single word you said just now."

Gu Xiaotong glared at them and then looked at Mo Roulan

"My father's company is on the verge of going bankrupt. I don't know who did it but he told me that it is done by someone who is related to you because of the fight between us."

Mo Roulan's frown got deeper and she told Gu Xiaotong calmly.

"I think you have some misunderstanding. I don't know anyone who is that powerful enough."

Gu Xiaotong sneered at her words and said making a disgusted face.

"Of course I know this but it can also be possible that you have seduced an old businessman with your beautiful face. After all, you are very capa…"

She could not complete her sentence because Shen Youlin didn't let her. A slap on Gu Xiaotong's cheek and she fell on the floor.

"You listen to me now. Have you heard the name of Shen family ever?"

Gu Xiaotong who was about to get up and hit Shen Youlin looked at her with horrified eyes. Of course, she heard the name of Shen family before.

Shen Youlin laughed humorlessly watching the terror on her face.

"Take your time to remember while sitting here on the floor."

After that, both of them entered college. Since Gu Xiaotong was not allowed to go inside the college now, she could only let them go as she tried to think how will she answer her father.
