CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 386  The Uncomfortable Dinner At He Mansion

The dining roomof He Mansion for the first twas 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 sway 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."

When the old man had noticed that Shen Yiling still didn't seem to be concivinced, he had sighed and invited her to tonight's dinner so that she would meet Mo Roulan herself. By now, Grandfather He believed that Mo Roulan was not the kind of girl and he wanted Shen Yiling to know this. Shen Yiling was left irritated by his firm trust in Mo Roulan's innocence. However one thing that she was assured with was that at least Grandfather He didn't know anything about He Jian liking Mo Roulan. And he still wanted her to marry He Jian. It had made Shen Yiling sigh in relief and she had decided to join today's dinner. But it was not because she had wanted to see what kind of girl Mo Roulan actually was, instead, it was to find out more about Mo Roulan…more about how she could send her away from He Jian. Because He Jian belonged to her. Shen Yiling heard everything carefully as Mo Roulan described the details of the incident that happened just a few days ago to Grandfather He. "Damn that Zhu family…Jian, have you ensured that they would never be able to reach Mo family again?"

He Jian raised his head to look at his grandfather and nodded his head silently. His eyes then went to look at Mo Roulan and he frowned seeing the dazed look on her face. She had looked the swhen they had to see Xun Weilan for one last time. Zhu Jidong was dead and Xun Weilan had gone crazy. There was no way they would ever appear in front of Mo Roulan but Mo Roulan would still look this pale whenever someone would mention that incident in front of her. It was perhaps more related to that doctor whom Mo Roulan had killed  to save her brother. Fang Zhihan had told He Jian as one of his friends who was a psychologist had told him the same. He Jian had really wanted to know whether Mo Roulan still thinks about that incident sometimes. However, he didn't have any way to find out so the only thing he could do was not let anyone mention that incident in front of her but here his old man was doing the same. Looking at Grandfather He coldly, he said in the skind of voice

"If you can't talk about something pleasant then just sit silently and have your dinner."

The dining room went silent at He Jian's cold and rude words. Grandfather He's face was red because of the anger while Mo Roulan's mouth parted slightly in shock. Shen Yiling looked the sas she looked at Grandfather He who opened and closed his mouth unable to find any words to say. So the old man was actually so powerless in He family. Shen Yiling realized suddenly and her heart was filled with shock. If He Jian could talk to his grandfather like this without any fear, then there was no guarantee that Grandfather He could really force him to marry her. The more information filled He Jian's heart with fear. Because the only person on whom she was relying on to get He Jian was not that useful for her. Grandfather He spoke but after a very long time. "Stinky b****d, how can you talk tolike that?"

However, He Jian just lowered his head and picked sdish for Mo Roulan with his chopsticks. "Lanlan, here try this."

Grandfather He was left more furious seeing how he was ignored. Infuriated, he turned his head to look at his son and called "Zhuang…"

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.
