CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

392  Was Mo Roulan Angry At Lin Qianru?

Standing in the living room of the Mo Family's apartment, Shen Youlin held the phone in her hand that was trembling fiercely. Who could it be?

She wondered while her heart started to fill with panic with every passing second. The voice on the other side of the phone was almost in a whisper …a cold whisper. A kind of voice that she had never heard before and how could she have heard it before. Shen Yiling had never talked to her like that before. She had acted very well in front of Shen Youlin always …pretending to be a very good elder sister and making her think that it was always Shen Youlin who was not capable enough to win the hearts of the family members of the Shen Family like her elder sister Shen Yiling. It was only recently that Shen Youlin had started to discover a little bit, slowly and slowly that Shen Yiling was perhaps not as innocent as she made herself look to be. And she still knew only a little bit. So never in her dreams, she would be able to imagine that the person who talked to her, threatened her just a few moments ago, was none other than her elder sister, Shen Yiling. Shen Youlin silently stared at the address written in the text that was flashing on her phone's screen. She had to go there tomorrow. It was a woman. That was the one and only thing she could conclude. Her face went pale when suddenly You Youxin's face flashed in front of her eyes. Was she back? Her fists clenched tightly. Just now when she had started to think that everything in her life was finally on the right track, was You Youxin back to destroy everything? She would not let that girl do this to her life this time. She might kill her with her own hands but she won't fall into her trap again and become prey to that abyss of drugs again. Determination flickered in her eyes. She needed to find out who this person was and how she knew her secret. "Youlin…"

Swiftly, Shen Youlin locked the phone and put it inside the pocket of her pants. She smiled tightly but Lin Qianru was too lost in her own thoughts that she could never notice that there was something wrong with Shen Youlin and Shen Youlin was grateful for that. "Youlin, has Roulan come back?" The question brought Shen Youlin's mind back to the present. Yes, Mo Roulan was back. She nodded her head slightly as her eyes darted to the door of Mo Roulan's room. It was closed and locked from the inside. A small and deep frown marred Shen Youlin's forehead when she remembered how Mo Roulan had entered the apartment in hurry and then ran towards her room. She had been able to get just a glimpse of her face. Was it her tear-filled eyes she had seen? Shen Youlinw was not certain as she had seen Mo Roulan's face only for a fleeting moment. She had been worried and hence she had knocked on the door many times, however, Mo Roulan was not opening the door at all. Just when she had been thinking of what she should do, she got this call and after sensing how important it was to talk in private, she had come to the living room where there was no one at that moment. Looking back at Lin Qianru, Shen Youlin tried to smile genuinely and said softly

"Yes, Auntie. Roulan is back."

Lin Qianru's back immediately tensed when she heard this. Her eyes also darted towards the door of her daughter's room. For a moment, her foot went forward in the direction of her daughter's room but then she took it back after some hesitation. She looked at Shen Youlin with uncertainty filled eyes and finally asked. "Youlin, how did she look when she had come back?"

The question made Shen Youlin raise her eyebrows and it also confirmed her suspicion that something must have happened.

And Lin Qianru knew about this. With the same smile on her lips, Shen Youlin asked Mo Roulan's mother.

"Auntie, is something wrong? Everything is alright, right?"

Lin Qianrru shook her head helplessly at this question. "I don't know. Only you can tell me this now. Did you see Mo Roulan when she had come back? How did she look? Did she look happy or did she…"

"She looked sad…very sad."

Shen Youlin interrupted Lin Qianru before the latter could complete her question. The answer obviously made Lin Qiantru's eyes go blank but her face looked more tensed. "I…I …"

She opened and closed her mouth but couldn't form a single word. Shen Youlin sighed heavily. She would not have told anything Li Qianru as she knew that Mo Roulan never liked to make her mother worry.   But she had to when she saw that Lin Qianru knew something. She was already very tensed about tomorrow and she would not be able to leave Mo Family's apartment without knowing how Mo Roulan was doing. If she was sad then why was she sad. "Auntie, what happened? Maybe I can help you." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Qianru shook her head as her eyes started to get teary. In a choked voice, she whispered.

"I never meant to hurt her. Though I know that she might not like it, I just did what I felt would be right for her future. She must be very angry at …me."

By the time, she reached the last few words, Lin Qianru was breathing heavily. Shen Youlin immediately held her hand and started to move towards the sofa placed inside the living room. After both of them were seated, she passed a glass of water to Lin Qianru and tried to calm her down. "Auntie, relax."

Shen Youlin gently patted Lin Qianru's hand as she took back the glass of water from her hands. "Roulan loves you a lot. She might be angry at you now but she won't stay like this for long."

At this, Lin Qianru shook her head. She covered her face with her hands and whispered "No, she might be very angry this time."
