CEO He : Please Don't Love Me-Chapter 324 - "I Can’t Believe You"

"And from where did you get so much money, Mom?"

It was only after this question Lin Qianru seemed to realize what did she had just said.

She bit her tongue inside her mouth.

After working in Chi Rong's house for these few months, she had saved a lot of money. Chi Rong paid her thrice the amount, she used to get from working in the restaurant as a waiter.

She had actually tried to deny this big amount and had agreed to work on the payment of a normal cook. However, Chi Rong didn't agree with her.

He told her that if she didn't accept that payment then he will instead offer her the job of a chef in his restaurant and the chef in his restaurant and the chef in his renowned restaurant got much more salary than this.

So Lin Qianru had to accept the salary and she would be lying if she said that she didn't need that money.

She needed that money to raise her children and for her house chores as well.

She would have worked as a chef in Chi Ring's restaurant but Lin Qianru knew her body's limits too. She knew that there were chances of her disease reemerging again if she put too much stress on her body.

However, she also knew that regardless of how much she will try to assure her daughter will never let her work in Chi Mansion.

Mo Roulan had agreed to let her do a job where she would not need to stand for even a couple of hours and hence she had to hide her job as a waiter from her daughter.

But then she had to hide from her that she was working as a chef as well because she knew very well that her daughter would then question how come she got a job in such a big Mansion suddenly or how did she know Chi Rong.

Lin Qianru gulped.

She basically had to hide another thing because she had hidden the first thing and everything was connected to each other.

Now, what was she supposed to do?

"That…I have some money from my job too."

She clenched her fists tightly and told her daughter. Lin Qianru at the same time tried to remember when was the last time her daughter had not been able to catch her lies.

Perhaps it was when she had lied to her that she was working as a receptionist but then she had visited her restaurant the next day so she couldn't be too sure that she really had lied very well.

"How much it is?"

Mo Roulan asked her mother. She didn't want to use the mother she had saved because that amount was saved to buy back her mother's necklace.

Lin Qianru swallowed and stopped herself when she was about to utter the real amount. She couldn't tell Mo Roulan the right amount so she said

"Twenty thousand Yuan."

Mo Roulan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had not expected her mother had save this much money. Though it was not a big amount, it was still enough if she included her saved money with her mother's as they would be then able to pay back at least sixty thousand Yuan to He Jian.

However, she again held back that urge.

If she didn't keep this money then she was sure that she won't have any money at the end of this year to bring back her mother's necklace.

Mo Roulan still remembered very well that she had promised her mother five years ago, that she would bring her necklace back.

"It's alright, Mom. We will pay back Mr. He slowly."

Lin Qianru nodded her head though inside her heart she had already decided to go and ask He Jian what amount exactly he had paid.

Perhaps she would be able to pay him back that money already though she doubted that she will be left with any saved money then.

Having different thoughts inside their heads, the mother and daughter left the hospital in He Jian's car with Mo Chen. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

On the other hand inside his office, Fang Zhihan looked at the transfer of seventy thousand Yuan in his account.

"What is this?"

Fang Zhihan messaged He Jian.

However, instead of getting any answer, he was asked a question from He Jian's side in return.

"Did you do something to make Lanlan angry?"

Fang Zhihan looked at the screen for a few moments. He seemed to have understood in a few moments that perhaps even He Jian could not make Mo Roulan agree that she didn't have to pay any amount.

And hence He Jian transferred this amount to him to stop Mo Roulan for now,

Fang Zhihan sighed as he leaned against the headrest of the chair he was sitting on. He silently pondered over the question He Jian had asked him just now.

"I don't know."

He typed a moment later.

Mo Roulan's calm but indifferent eyes flashed in front of his eyes and then her fear-filled eyes when he had taken Mo Chen away from her.

He really didn't know why Mo Roulan looked so afraid at that time.

He didn't know why she was so cold and indifferent towards him.

But he will try his best to find it out. After all, Mo Roulan was the girl his best friend liked so he should know if he had done anything to make her dislike him so much.

When Tian Yuan woke up again, he found himself inside a familiar room.

Through his slightly blurred eyes, he looked around and then rubbed his eyes. It was only then when he looked around the room he understood where he was.

It was Liu Ji Fan's room.

In this room, he had spent so many nights with him.

And then everything from before he had suddenly collapsed started to flash in front of his eyes and his eyes went wide.

Tian Yuan immediately tried to get down from the bed.

However perhaps he stood up from the bed all of a sudden, he felt very dizzy. At this moment, the door of the room opened and soon a pair of arms surrounded Tian Yuan's waist.

"You should rest. Where were you going?"

Liu Ji Fan said with a deep frown on his forehead as he made Tian Yuan sit down on the bed.

Tian Yuan did sit down obediently. It took him a few moments to register what was going on but when he did his eyes were still a little blurry and he whispered

"Mom…"

The first word that came out of his mouth was about his mother.

Liu Ji Fan stiffened visibly. It expressed just how worried Tian Yuan must have been Aunt Tian all along.

His heart ached so much to see this and he couldn't help but stroke his lover's head lightly.

"Auntie is alright, Baby. Don't worry so much. It is not good for your health."

Liu Ji Fan still couldn't believe that Tian Yuan had his second panic attack in such a short amount of time with him. He had called Fang Zhihan who informed him that having so many panic attacks was not good for one's health.

So he was now more worried about Tian Yuan.

He came out of his trance when he found Tian Yuan looking at himself with wide eyes that were full of fear.

"Tian Yuan, What happened?"

He couldn't help but ask him immediately wanting to know what was worrying him.

"Where is my mother?"

Liu Ji Fan frowned in confusion but nonetheless said gently.

"She is alright. I can assure you th…"

"No!"

Tian Yuan interrupted Liu Ji Fan amidst his words and said sharply.

"Just tell me where she is. I want to see her for myself."

Liu Ji Fan frown disappeared but his eyes were filled with hurt and disbelief and he asked Tian Yuan

"Baby, don't you believe me. I won't lie to you."

Tian Yuan looked away from Liu Ji Fan's eyes. A bitter smile graced his lips and he said

"You really expect me to believe you, Ji Fan after whatever happened to my happy family."

Liu Ji Fan's adam apple wobbled slightly but he didn't really have anything to say as Tian Yuan stood up from the bed and then said to him.

"You and Your family will be the last person I will believe to keep my mother safe."

Tian Yuan completed his words coldly and then asked Liu Ji Fan again

"Now tell me, where is my mother?"

"Liu Ji Fan's eyes were blank and his fists were clenched tightly.

"In the room that is attached to this room."

He answered in a low voice and saw Tian Yuan immediately dashing out of his room.

A tear slipped out of his eyes as he looked at Tian Yuan's back. His words regarding him never being able to trust him rang inside his mind again and again.

'Will you never trust me again?'

'But I can never even think of harming you.'
