CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"This is perfect!"

Mo Roulan and Shen Youlin looked at each other as they exclaimed together. Since that incident of yesterday morning, Mo Roulan was finally smiling.

And Shen Youlin was smiling seeing her beautiful smile.

While two steps away standing Lin Qianru had a confused face. Shen Youlin walked to her and showed the video playing on Mo Roulan's laptop.

"Auntie, see we have the video of that Su Mian taking the key out of your drawers. We can use it against her."

The video was from the CCTV installed in the kitchen of 'Sweet Escape'. Lin Qianru told them that Su Mian had taken the key from the drawers and fortunately in the video Su Mian's face could be seen clearly as she opened the drawer and took the key when no one was inside the kitchen.

Lin Qianru frowned and looked at Shen Youlin in confusion.

"But it was me who asked her to take the key from the drawer."

A wicked smile appeared on Shen Youlin's lips and she whispered intentionally.

"But Auntie, only we know that."

Mo Roulan shook her head with a chuckle as she saw the excitement on Shen Youlin's face. She looked more excited than her who was a victim.

But her smile disappeared when she saw her mother stepping back and shaking her head.

"No…You are asking me to lie."

Lin Qianru looked at Mo Roulan in disbelief and said exaggeratedly

"Roulan…this is a police case. Su Mian will be implicated with a crime she had never done if I lied. She has a young daughter. I agree that she is wrong to lie that I never gave her the key but perhaps she was forced by Wen Zuyan."

Mo Roulan chuckled coldly.

"Mom, you are still thinking about her well-being."

Her face was so cold that Lin Qianru couldn't recognize her daughter for a moment. Suddenly she left the living room. When she came back, Lin Qianru saw the sleepy Mo Chen walking in the living room with her.

She made Mo Chen stand in front of her mother and pointed towards the fingerprints on his cheek.

"Look at this. Mo Chen, tell Mom how did you get this?"

Mo Chen was confused seeing his Jiejie's cold face but he obeyed and looked at his mother.

"Aunt hit me."

Mo Roulan didn't stop there. She carefully lifted Mo Chen's shirt and Lin Qianru eyes widened in shock when she saw the large bruise on her son's stomach.

Amidst all this chaos, she didn't even get the time to know if Mo Chen was injured anywhere else.

"Do you see this, Mom?"

Mo Roulan eyes were now red, filled with unshed tears.

"Do you know what could have happened if the things haven't turned out in our favor?"

Mo Roulan didn't wait for her mother's answer and continued.

"I would have been raped by that man."

She was breathing heavily because she couldn't handle the waving emotions inside her heart. Lin Qianru stepped forward to take Mo Roulan in her arms but Mo Roulan avoided her.

She was hurt. Very hurt.

Her mother had not promised her that she would never be in contact with any of them but still, she gave the key of the home they lived in to her Aunt.

As she remembered her past life, Mo Roulan whispered but Lin Qianru still heard her words.

"Mom, you don't know how cruel they can become just to get what they want from us. You…don't know anything."

In her past life, Mo Roulan had also thought that her First Aunt, Su Mian was a pitiful and good woman. However, she saw the reality after her mother's death.

Before being sent to the orphanage, she had seen Wen Zuyan and Su Mian dividing the money that was obtained from selling her diamond necklace. 

She was so shocked at that time. It took her a long time to accept the reality.

That's why she had told her mother to stay away from them. 

Her Aunt had always portrayed such a good image of herself in front of her mother that it was very difficult to even imagine that she could be such a scheming woman.

But her mother was very naïve. Even after seeing how Su Mian refused to confess that the key was given to her, she was trying to save Su Mian.

She really wished to tell her mother what all she and Mo Chen had suffered in her past life after she left them. 

Shen Youlin stood beside Mo Roulan and silently held her hand. She had a frown on her forehead as she looked at Mo Roulan's mother.

Lin Qianru was sobbing silently after Mo Roulan finished. She covered her mouth and thought about everything she heard.

"If you don't wish to lie for me and Mo Chen, then alright. Let her come out of the prison so that she can come here again in the future with someone else to force on me. What can I do when my mother cares for others more than her own children?"

Mo Roulan knew that she was playing with her mother's emotions but she really doesn't have any other way.

Being naïve was very easy but when you find out what stupid things you have done in your naivety, it can break you from inside. It was the price of naivety.

At this moment, Lin Qianru wiped her tears and said suddenly

"I will say whatever you want me to say. I will lie if you want me to do that."

Her eyes were red but she had a firm look.

Seeing this, Mo Roulan nodded. As she picked her laptop to go to the police station, She heard her mother say.

"Roulan, I love you and Mo Chen more than everything. Please don't say those words again."

Her mother's choked voice almost made Mo Roulan turn around and hug her but she controlled herself.

Not now. She can't let herself and her mother become weak now.
