Chapter 29: She Needs To Be A Little Sensible

Mo Roulan stepped inside her house only to see Shen Youlin and Mo Chen sitting in the living room. Both of them were watching cartoons on TV and laughing when they found something funny.

She shook her head and sighed.

Sometimes, she really can't tell whether Shen Youlin was a child or a girl who is older than her.

Today, Shen Youlin made Mo Roulan invite her to her home as compensation for leaving her birthday party in a hurry. Mo Roulan felt a little guilty and hence agreed. If only she knew how Shen Youlin was using her guilt to trap her.

Ignoring the duo that didn't pay any attention to her, she went to the kitchen and filled the water in a glass. Today had been a long day for her but she finally got the part-time job of a tutor.

"Did you get the job?"

'Ah…Cough..Cough..

The sudden voice and that too very close to her ear startled Mo Roulan and she choked on the water because of the surprise.

Wide-eyed Shen Youlin didn't know what to do as she said immediately

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you. I'm really sorry."

When Mo Roulan finally felt alright she saw the worry and guilt and told her in a hoarse voice.

"I'm alright."

"Where is my Mom?"

She asked when she didn't see her mother around.

"Aunty went outside to buy some groceries."

Just at this moment, a shout came from the living room. Mo Chen was calling Shen Youlin. Shen Youlin ran outside and Mo Roulan frowned when she saw that the refrigerator was already full.

'Then what did her Mother want to buy?'

Half an hour later, when Mo Roulan was sitting with Mo Chen and Shen Youlin, Lin Qianru finally entered the house. Mo Roulan saw that her mother's hands were empty. She got up and followed her mother inside the kitchen.

As her mother was started working with her back facing her, Mo Roulan hugged her from behind and asked her

"You didn't buy anything?"

Lin Qianru seemed to remember something and paused.

"Well, I forgot that I already filled the refrigerator this weekend. So returned back on the way."

Mo Roulan hummed and when she was about to take back her arms, her mother suddenly held her arm.

"Roulan how was the party?"

Mo Roulan stiffened at the mention of the party, It didn't go unnoticed by Lin Qianru's eyes. But then she saw her daughter smiling brightly and telling her.

"It was amazing. I enjoyed it a lot."

Lin Qianru passed tightly smiled seeing her fake enthusiasm. Her eyes were teary as she saw her daughter leaving the kitchen. She didn't know when her daughter grew up so much.

Was it five years ago when she was ill?

Since then, Roulan would share her happiness with her mother and Little Mo Chen but she would never tell her mother if she was in any trouble.

Lin Qianru missed her little naïve and spoiled daughter.

Shen Villa

Inside the study room, Grandfather Shen put down the phone and got up from his chair. Leaving the study room, he walked down the stairs. On the dining table, his daughter, his son in law and his granddaughter were waiting for him. He sat down on his chair and glanced at his granddaughter.

Her head was lowered as a gloomy aura surrounded her. Clearing his throat, he said nonchalantly

"The old man of the He family called me."

Shen Yiling immediately raised her head hearing her grandfather's words as her eyes were filled with new hope.

Grandfather Shen laughed seeing her eagerness.

"The old man said that Jian is not going to leave City H this time. The He family is soon going to declare its new master so Jian will live in City H from now on."

Shen Yiling eyes brightened a little and she smiled.

Shen Zhilan felt relieved when she saw that her daughter was finally smiling. She stroked her hair gently and said

"Now you will get many chances to meet that young man and my daughter is so charming and beautiful. I can't believe that he will not like you."

Shen Yiling blushed hearing this and lowered her head. A few moments later, she raised her head and her eyes were now filled with worry and concern.

"Mom, Youlin…..you should not have behaved with Youlin like this. She must be very hurt and angry."

Shen Zhilan frowned when she heard her younger daughter's name and said coldly.

"Yiling, you don't need to think about her. We are tolerating her since childhood. Look at her now, what she has become? She didn't get good marks in the college entrance exam. If it weren't dad then she could get admission only in those town's colleges. I don't expect her to get good marks like you but she can at the very least become a little sensible and caring towards others."

Even Grandfather Shen sighed heavily. To dissipate the gloomy atmosphere, he asked the butler to serve the meal.

Seeing this, Shen Yiling didn't say anything after that.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Some of you may believe that a mother can't behave with her child as Shen Zhilan behaves with her daughter. But believe me, some parents do. Although I have not experienced this, I have seen it. They start to compare their own children in everything. A child has a little competitive nature so it lowers his confidence whenever he faces something like this which can lead to many things. Shen Youlin is a character who had faced all this.

That's why she was mentioned as an important character.
