CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Qianru finally stopped crying.

There were many things inside her heart but she didn't tell her daughter about them. She just held Mo Roulan's hand and made her daughter look in her eyes.

"Roulan…promise me. Promise me that you won't hide anything from me in the future."

Mo Roulan's mouth opened and closed as she looked at her handheld by her mother and then in her mother's eyes.

She didn't know what she should say so she remained silent.

However, this time Lin Qianru was very determined to get the promise. She continued to look at her daughter with firm eyes as she waited for her to say something. But she would only accept a 'yes' today. 

  "Mother, how did you get this paper?"

asked Mo Roulan curiously also attempting to divert her mother's attention.

She really wished to know just how her mother got this paper.

The real purpose behind asking help from He Jian was not to let her mother know anything about her being arrested by the police. If she didn't succeed in that, what was the benefit of dragging herself in front of the man she had vowed to stay away from in this life?

However, Lin Qianru saw through her daughter's tricks this time and said sternly.   

"Don't try to change the topic."

Mo Roulan bit her tongue inside her mouth not knowing whether she should feel proud of her mother for being this much smart or whether she should cry for herself.

In the end, she was, of course, proud of her mother.   

She observed her mother and Mo Roulan found out that her mother didn't look that much stressed by the new findings. Instead, she looked more hurt by the fact that her daughter which meant she hid something from her.

Mo Roulan sighed and thought that she had been perhaps too overprotective over her mother. Her mother was not that much of a weak woman.

However, she could easily feel that she was not a good mother.

As it was not the first time that Mo Roulan had heard 'I am not a good mother' from her mother's mouth.

The first time was when she had sold that necklace and had confronted her mother after that.

The second time was when Su Mian's real face had come in front of her mother.

And the third time was today.

Mo Roulan wished there was any way to tell her mother that it didn't matter whether she was a good mother or a bad mother. As long as she was present there for both of her children…it was enough for her. The rest of the things she would manage happily. She would become a good mother in her eyes by doing only this only.     

After all, she also had not been a good daughter and sister in her past life.

For this life, she just wished to have her family by her side.

Tightening her hold around her mother's hand, Mo Roulan said finally

"I promise mother that I will not hide something like this."

Although Mo Roulan said this, inside her heart, she was not sure until when she would stand by her promise.

And she got the answer very soon.

Lin Qianru smiled after seeing that Mo Roulan promised her that she would not hide anything from her in the future.

The naïve mother thought that her daughter was sincere enough to not break her promise to her. She thought that that much she knew about her daughter.

The next moment, however, her smile disappeared as if she seemed to have remembered something and she said 

"Today I will go to your college with you."

Lin Qianru said with a serious expression on her face. Mo Roulan who was thinking of how to ask her mother just how much she knew and how she knew, frowned in confusion not knowing why the direction of their conversation had turned to her college.

"College? Why, Mom?"

Lin Qianru huffed as she looked at her daughter with a helpless expression

"Roulan, since you have been put in such a compromising situation by the college. I, as your mother, have the right to go there and question them in your place."

Her mother's words only made Mo Roulan frown more deeply as she didn't get her confusion cleared by these words.

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Lin Qianru looked at her daughter whom she had always thought had been very intelligent and thought that her daughter's behavior was really worrisome.

With this kind of nature, she could have people topple all over on herself not knowing that she herself had this kind of nature.

"Roulan, I will ask Principal Lin why he didn't say anything when you were being accused of cheating and even called police to arrest you without doing any proper investigation. When I had gone to the college with your results, he and Vice Principal Cong had bragged so much about their university in front of me; however I am very disappointed with their attitude regarding this matter."

Mo Roulan's frown disappeared and she looked at her mother with a slightly parted mouth.

Her mouth again opened and closed in oblivion as she tried to think of the words she should say next.

"I was arrested because of being accused of cheating?"

She murmured more likely to herself. However, the next moment she saw her mother getting up from the chair abruptly.

Lin Qianru had a knife in her hand with which she was putting butter on the breads previously. Rotating the knife in the air, she said fiercely responding to her daughter's words in her own way.

"That's what I am shocked about. How could they even think that my daughter would need to do such a thing. My daughter is so intelligent. She topped the college entrance exam. Are they blind or something to proceed with this matter like this?"

Mo Roulan sat there silently looking at her mother's fierce form with opened mouth.

She suddenly didn't know what she should do.

She didn't know what was going on at all.

What did her mother know and how did she get to know about this cheating incident in the first place?
