CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 175 - Lin Qianru Allows He Jian To Look Out For Mo Roulan

Lin Qianru saw that He Jian didn't say anything and the confusion and panic inside her heart started to grow with each and every passing second.

'Kidnapping accident …could it be that it was something else that Mo Roulan hid from me?'

"Mr. He, please tell me what you were saying? Which kidnapping incident you are talking about?"

He Jian looked at Lin Qianru.

Mo Roulan might have hidden it from her mother but he will not hide it.

Inside his mind, he had already thought of Lin Qianru as an irresponsible mother. But he suddenly remembered something and his attitude towards Lin Qianru became polite again.

Actually even if He Jian wants to hide everything from Lin Qianru, he can't.

He knew that as a parent, what Lin Qianru would think of his sudden care for her daughter. If Lin Qianru doesn't allow him then Mo Roulan would also naturally refuse to accept his interference in her life.  

And he could only find a reasonable approach if he told Lin Qianru everything.

So He Jian started with his own story that had some truth and some lies.

"Auntie, five years ago, I had visited town Wenhua for some college's research project. During my last night in that down, …I was kidnapped by a group of people."

Lin Qianru's eyes widened and she looked at He Jian with confusion.

How did Mo Roulan got involved in all this?'

He Jian soon cleared her confusion.

"I was saved by Lanlan at that time."

"What?" Lin Qinaru whispered in disbelief.

"Roulan…she never told me any such thing." She said to He Jian in a daze.

 "Around what time it happened, five years ago?" She asked He Jian.

He Jian told her the timings, date and everything very perfectly and Lin Qianru immediately understood that it was around the time she had undergone the surgery.

"Why does she hide so many things from me?"

Lin Qianru whispered as her eyes started to fill with her tears.

"She doesn't tell me anything. How can I even make her tell me everything? Such a big thing…she hid it from me…what if something happened to her in the future? Will she stay like this always?"

Lin Qianru said many things regardless of where she was present. 

A tear fell down from her eyes as she felt the same helplessness occupying her mind and heart, she had felt knowing Mo Roulan was arrested by the police.  

She didn't notice how the man sitting in front of her frowned at her last words.

But when he saw the tears falling from Lin Qianru's eyes, he didn't say anything except declaring firmly.

"Auntie doesn't need to worry about that. As long as I am here, Mo Roulan is my responsibility. I will not let anything happen to her. I promise Auntie."

Lin Qianru's tears stopped and she looked at He Jian silently.

"Who are you?"

She asked finally.

The kind of attitude that He Jian showed just now as he declared to protect her daughter…Lin Qianru could tell that he was not a normal person.

Especially after she knew that it was He Jian who helped Mo Roulan in getting free from the police station then there was no doubt that He Jian was a man with power and connection. 

"Didn't I already introduce myself?" He Jian asked feigning confusion at Lin Qianru's question.  

"Yes"

Lin Qianru whispered as she understood that He Jian doesn't wish to reveal anything. But somehow it only made her sure that he belonged to a good and powerful family. 

And that's how He Jian escaped from revealing his true identity.

"Auntie, I was saved by your daughter and I really appreciate her kind heart. In fact, my whole family, my father and my grandfather appreciate her kindness and selflessness. I belong to a family where we never leave people alone who didn't leave us alone in our difficult times. So I want your permission to look out for Mo Roulan in the future."

He Jian said politely to Lin Qianru.

Lin Qianru wiped her face with her hands as she mulled over He Jian's words.

She could also understand what He Jian was saying.

Having been lived in a noble family for so many years, Lin Qianru knew what their customs and rules were. In fact, if Mo Roulan had saved a boy from a noble family, then she would not have been surprised if the family wanted to adopt her daughter.

That's how noble families showed their appreciation. But … 

…she would not like a stranger looking out for her daughter.

So Lin Qianru replied

"What Mo Roulan did must be her own choice back then. I am sure that she would never like Mr. He to repay for her good deeds. My daughter has always been like that. It is rare for her to help other people as she doesn't believe anyone easily but if she helps someone then she doesn't wish anything in return from them."

Lin Qianru said proudly and rejected He Jian's offer very politely.

The blue eyes looking at Lin Qianru flickered. Perhaps He Jian was already ready for this rejection and hence he didn't show any reaction.

He sat there with a polite smile on his lips as he said 

"Auntie, I would have left Lanlan alone, if she was living well. But from the moment, I have started to observe her, she has faced many troubles where I had to help her solve them. As my benefactor, I can't let her face alone anything in the future that can harm her. My principles don't let me accept that."

CEO said righteously.

He had not finished yet.

He told Lin Qianru about those incidents where he had helped Mo Roulan since she had come to City H. His words again had some truth and some lies.

The bottom line was not to scare Lin Qianru much.

The purpose was to make her realize that Mo Roulan really needed someone to look out for her in City H.   

And at the end of their conversation, He Jian had completely made the naive Lin Qianru realize this.
