CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

352 The Shocked Lin Qianru 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Inside the dining table, the atmosphere was a little serious for a few people but others who were chatting didn't notice it at all.

"Cheng Yang, here have this. I am sure you will like it."

Lin Qianru said to Cheng Yang as she put a dish for him in a bow and passed it to him.

Cheng Yang thanked Lin Qianru politely as he took the bowl from her.

Lin Qianru didn't know why the more she looked at Cheng Yang, the more she found him a very nice boy.

"That day, you left so suddenly, is everything alright in your family?"

She tried to pry in a little and Cheng Yang replied politely again

"Yes, Auntie, everything is alright!"

As he said this, Cheng Yang moved his eyes to look at He Jian. That day, he had to leave because their company got a very big deal and he wanted to be there with his mother.

Cheng Yang was already starting to take some interest in the family's business.

He wanted to make Cheng company gain some new heights so that he would be able to stand against He Jian and fight for Mo Roulan righteously.

Shen Youlin served Mo Roulan her favorite dish as she asked

"Roulan, how was your first day?"

Hearing the question, everyone including He Jian looked at Mo Roulan.

Under the stare of everyone, Mo Roulan smiled a little. She had many things to say but how could she say in front of He Jian.

So she smiled tightly and said

"It was good. I learned many new things."

He Jian's eyes were filled with satisfaction hearing this.

Lanlan was happy.

That was what he wanted.

On the other hand, Shen Youlin narrowed her eyes.

"What are you talking about, Mo Roulan?"

It was Cheng Yang who had been sitting silently until now finally asked this question. Everyone raised their heads again and two sharp gazes immediately landed on Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang frowned as he looked at Shen Youlin .He could understand why He Jian was looking at him so sharply but he didn't understand why Shen Youlin was doing the same.

Ignoring her, he looked at Mo Roulan, however before Mo Roulan could speak, Shen Youlin told him

"She is doing an internship."

Cheng Yang didn't like that Shen Youlin didn't let Mo Roulan speak but everyone else took it very normally. Shen Youlin had always been like so even Mo Roulan didn't find anything wrong with her behavior.

"Where?

Cheng Yang asked Mo Roulan again and Shen Youlin spoke again

"At He Corporation."

Shen Youlin smiled humorlessly when she said this and moved her eyes to look at He Jian.

He could fool Mo Roulan but not her.

She was suddenly doubting He Jian's intentions towards Mo Roulan.

On the other hand, Cheng Yang was also frowning at Shen Youlin's answer and looked at He Jian with a not-so-good face.

Why He Corporation!

Lin Qianru's eyes flashed with surprise and she said in surprise.

"He Corporation! Roulan, is it true?"

"Yes, Mom. It is true."

Lin Qianru nodded her head with a smile playing on her lips. It was good that Mo Roulan was working at such a good company.

She had heard about He Corporation a lot when she was living in City H before her marriage.

"Take care, Roulan. Don't do any mistakes there. It would help you in the future if you will complete this internship."

Mo Roulan nodded her head with a smile.

She, of course, knew this and that's why she also has been very happy about this internship. However, the only problem she had was with her current post.

It would have been better if she had got to work in the fashion designing department.

Mo Roulan thought inside her heart as she sighed.

On the other hand, He Jian raised his head and looked at Lin Qianru.

"Auntie, you don't need to worry. I am there for Lanlan so Lanlan won't face any trouble."

Lin Qianru's eyes flashed with confusion and she asked

"Jian, you are also there?"

For a moment, everyone stopped eating and looked at Lin Qianru except Mo Chen who was still busy eating.

The young boy didn't want to waste his time listening to the adults talk. He just wanted to finish his dinner and then study.

Mo Roulan looked at her mother with a nervous smile. She seemed to feel that her mother had some big misunderstanding about He Jian.

Even Shen Youlin felt the same. She knew very well how na?ve Mo Rouan's mother could be sometimes. Her eyes flickered and she told Lin Qiianru the truth.

"Yes, Auntie. You can even say that he is the soon to be CEO of He Corporation."

Lin Qianru's eyes widened with shock.

and dizzy.

11:49

She suddenly seemed to understand why He Jian had been able to go inside the restricted area of She looked at Shen Youlin with a speechless expression on her face.

He Jian was the soon-to-be CEO….

He Jian…He Corporation. She could soon connect the dots but still, Lin Qianru felt a little confused and dizzy.

She suddenly seemed to understand why He Jian had been able to go inside the restricted area of those forests so easily.

Why he was such a good friend of Fang Zhihan who owned such a big hospital! Why everything was so easy for him!

Before she had just thought that He Jian was from a noble family but she had never thought that He Jian was from the He family.

He family ….who had not heard its name if they were living in City H.

He Jian was the young master of that He family.

That day, it was Grandfather He who visited her apartment. Grandfather He …who had been the head f He family at her time.

Lin Qianru tried to put some effort to make the tight smile on her lips a little genuine.

He Jian silently looked at her.

Almost everyone in the dining room seemed to notice that her smile was not that genuine. Mo Roulan also noticed this.

She wondered what was going on inside her mother's mind and had wanted to ask her but she knew that this was not the right time.

She saw her mother standing up from the chair suddenly and then saying in a low voice.

"I will go and rest for some time in my room. All of you…must have a good dinner."

After saying this, Lin Qianru silently left the dining room while a very awkward kind of silence hung there.

.

.

.

Inside her room, Lin Qianru was silently lying on the bed. Her eyes stared blankly at the wall that was in front of her eyes but her mind was somewhere else.

She was thinking about He Jian, He family, her daughter, her own family and so many other things.

Lin Qianru whether it was really alright to accept He Jian's help even after knowing that he belonged to such a big family.

Before she didn't feel this burdened but after knowing that he belonged to influencing He family, she felt very burdened suddenly.

She felt scared for herself and her daughter.

She didn't even know the reason behind her fear.

Lin Qianru didn't know but these days she would always feel that everything was soon going to end. As if she was soon going to part away from her children.

As if she needed to do something but she didn't know what she should do.

She sighed as she closed her eyes. A tear slipped out of her eyes and she tried to assure herself that she was just over thinking.

The door of the room was knocked suddenly and Lin Qianru immediately wiped her eyes. She wanted to wait for a moment before asking whoever was outside to come inside.

But before she could do so, the door of the room opened and Mo Roulan stepped inside the room.

"Roulan, I have taught you better than this."

Lin Qianru said to her daughter in a strict voice as she saw her storming inside the room without any permission of hers.

Since childhood, she had taught both of her children that they should knock on the door before entering the room. Though their family was not that well-off, Lin Qianru was sure that her children were no less than those noble family's children. In fact, they were much better than them.

Mo Roualn ignored her mother's scolding and asked her

"Were you crying just now?"

Her finger reached out to touch the corner of her mother's eyes and she frowned in feeling the moisture.

"What happened, Mom?"

She asked softly as she sat beside her mother.

Lin Qianru however shook her head as she hugged her daughter suddenly.

"I am just worried for you and Mo Chen."

"Why?"

Mo Roulan asked her mother as she hugged her back.

"I don't know. Maybe it is my menopause."

Mo Roulan went speechless at these words. She never knew that her shy mother could talk about this to her. However, she couldn't really find anything to say in response so she just hugged her mother back and said softly

"I am here, Mother and I promise you that I will make you proud in the future."

Lin Qianru nodded her head and closed her eyes with a smile on her lips.

Yes, She was just overthinking.
