“CEO Song, I apologize for my daughter’s rude behavior.”
Wang Zhilan glared at Shen Youlin fiercely and said to Song Xinyi.
She then nudged Shen Weishang to help Song Xinyi in getting up from the ground. With a bored look on his face, Shen Weishang stepped forward and stretched out his hand in front of Song Xinyi.
Song Xinyi just glanced at his hand and then stood up by herself.
This made Wang Zhilan think that she was still angry because of Shen Youlin so she passed a cold look to Shen Youlin signing her to apologize.
Shen Youlin didn’t want to apologize as according to her she was nowhere at fault but when she remembered her mother’s threat she gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
“CEO Song, I’m sorry. I just pushed you because I thought you were touching me appropriately.”
Wang Zhilan almost vomited blood in anger hearing these words.
What kind of apology is this?
While Shen Weisheng raised his eyebrows in amusement and looked at Shen Youlin with his lips pressed in a thin smile.
He was not used to talking to his younger sister much but he suddenly found out that she was much interesting than he thought.
Wang Zhilan didn’t spend much time with her children in their childhood as she was busy managing Shen’s family’s business.
So Shen Yiling was raised by Grandfather Shen and Shen Weishang had spent his childhood with his maternal Grandfather and Grandfather. It was only when he was fourteen years old and the old couple died; he came back to Shen family.
So he was not much familiar with his so-called family and he never tried to talk to them too much. As long as he was doing good in his studies, Wang Zhilan never bothered about his son’s indifference towards his own family.
Different from the reactions of all the other people in the room, Song Xinyi said
“Of Course Miss Shen would think so because I was really trying to do so. After all Miss Shen is so beautiful.”
The most eye-catching thing while Song Xinyi said these words was the expression on her face. She said all of this with such a serious face that Shen Youlin blushed red unknown to herself whether it was because of shame or because of anger.
She pointed her finger at Song Xinyi’s face
“You …”
Her words were interrupted by Wang Zhilan who lowered her hand and held her arm so tightly that Shen Youlin almost winced in pain.
“Youlin, leave right now.”
Wang Zhilan whispered angrily in her daughter’s ear.
Shen Youlin looked at her mother with no emotion and replied
“Who wants to be here with so many sick minds in the first place?”
With that, she jerked her mother’s arm harshly and left Shen Villa.

Lin Qianru entered the building with many grocery bags in both hands. Her arms were now starting to hurt because of the weight of those bags. So she put the bags on the ground and massaged her arms to relieve them from the pain.
“Do you need any help, Ma’am?”
Lin Qianru turned around and saw a young and very handsome man standing behind her. From his clothes, he seemed to be from a very well-off family. He had a small smile on his lips because of which a gentle aura radiated from his whole body.
Seeing that the young man offered help, she smiled and said
“No need, I can do it by myself.”
Then she turned to pick the grocery bags from the floor but the bags were suddenly taken from her hands.
“Let me do it, Ma’am. I have to go to the same floor you’re going.”
“Oh…Okay”
Lin Qianru tried to remember if she had seen him before but could not remember something like that. Seeing the confusion on her face, the young man replied tacitly.
“I just moved here yesterday.”
Realization dawned on Lin Qianru’s face and she understood why she was not able to recognize him.
But she didn’t try to think that how did the young man know that she lived on the same floor when they have never seen each other.
Sitting inside the car, Chu Feng saw his boss holding some grocery bags in his hands with a smile on his face and could not believe his eyes at all.
This was ….not his boss. His boss was like the cold slab of ice.
He knew that the woman whom his boss was helping was that girl’s mother.
First, his boss moved to the apartment that was so small compared to the villa his boss lived in and now this. It was a bit difficult to believe that his cold and indifferent boss was putting so much effort just to approach a girl.
‘There must be something special about that girl.’ Chu Feng thought.
The elevator soon reached the floor Lin Qianru lived on. Both of them exited the elevator and when she reached in front of her apartment, Lin Qianru took the bags from the man’s hands.
“Thank you so much. Please do come tonight with your family and have a meal at my home.”
The young man smiled politely and replied to her
“Ma’am, I live alone.”
Lin Qianru felt sympathy for the young man. This was the reason she had not wanted Mo Roulan to stay in City alone. Although her daughter could cook very well, she had noticed that she doesn’t like to do it. So she was worried that Roulan would eat outside instead of at home if she let her live alone in City H.
“You can come to my home anytime you wish to have a meal. My cooking is very good. I can assure you that you will like the food made by me.”
Lin Qianru shut up when she felt that she was praising herself and smiled embarrassedly.
“Please do come tonight.”
With a deep look in his eyes, He Jian answered with a polite smile.
“Sure.”
After this, she opened the door of her apartment and went inside.
As soon as the doors closed, He Jian heard a voice from behind.
“Leaving me there to handle so much work alone, Boss He is busy here in woo some aunties.”
Liu Ji Fan smiled playfully and asked.
He Jian didn’t even turn around to look at him and opened his apartment’s doors with the usual cold and indifferent expression on his face.
Liu Ji Fan didn’t mind his behavior and welcomed himself inside the apartment before He Jian could even close the doors.
He went inside further and sat comfortably on the sofa in the living room. As he looked around the apartment his eyes suddenly had confusion.
“Old He, what are you doing here in this small apartment leaving your villa?”
He Jian sat on the sofa in front of him. He didn’t answer his question asked him instead
“What are you doing here? Who is there to manage the company?”
Liu Ji Fan made an aggrieved face and told him.
“Old He, How can you do this to me? Instead of asking if I have been well in the past few days, you are worried about the company.”
He Jian looked at his drama nonchalantly and then stood up while removing the tie from his collar. While going inside the room he heard Liu Ji Fan saying.
“I have arranged everything there only then I came here. Now you tell me are you really going to your neighbor’s house tonight?”
Hearing the question, He Jian paused at the doorway and asked
“Why?”
With a fawning smile, Liu Ji Fan walked towards him with his arms wide open and said
“Because if you are going, I will also go. What if someone bullied you the…?”
However before he could even touch He Jian, the door was slammed on his face leaving him alone outside the room.
————————–
Mo Roulan came back from her tutoring job and saw her mother cooking inside the kitchen.
“Mom, Why are you making so many dishes?”
Lin Qianru didn’t turn to look at her as her whole attention was on the cooking and replied
“We are having a guest tonight.”
Mo Roulan was confused as they don’t know many people in City H.
“Who?”
“The new neighbor, who just moved here yesterday.”
Hearing her mother’s reply, Mo Roulan remembered the man whom she had saw last night on the balcony. She nodded her head and went inside her room to change her clothes so that she can also help her mother.
When she came out of her room, the doorbell rang and she heard her mother’s voice from the kitchen asking her to open the door.
She walked to the door and opened it. But when she saw the man who was standing outside, she closed the door instantly making a loud slam.
