The car stopped outside the building Mo Roulan and He Jian lived in.
Mo Roulan got out of the car immediately. She said 'thanks' in a low voice to He Jian and walked inside the building.
She didn't want to stay with him any longer. Just a few minutes had made her mind a mess.
On her behind, He Jian was leaning against the car. He stared at her leaving back till he no could longer see her.
Then he got inside the car and said to the driver.
"Start the car."
.

Opening the door of her apartment, Mo Roulan looked around and called
"Mom…"
Her mother should have already come back from her job.
When no one responded to her call, Mo Roulan frowned and putting her bag on the couch.
She walked inside the kitchen but her mother was not there.
The faint doubt that the woman in waitress dress was her mother was now becoming stronger in Mo Roulan's mind.
However just as she stepped out of the kitchen, she saw her mother drying her hair in the living room.
"Mom, where were you?"
Lin Qianru raised her head and answered
"Roulan, did you just come? I was inside the shower."
"Oh…"
Mo Roulan mumbled. Then she chuckled and said when she saw her mother looking at her questioningly.
"Mom, I saw someone on the way, in the waitress' dress… entering inside a huge mansion. I thought it was you."
Lin Qianru's eyes widen for a moment as she continued to dry her hair. With a stiff smile, she glanced at her daughter and said
"Must have been your illusion."
Mo Roulan smiled a little and nodded. But her eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at her mother for a few more moments.

"Where is Song Xinyi?"
Mr. Song asked the butler of Song Mansion nervously. He had looked everywhere around the banquet hall but he couldn't find her anywhere.
"Master, I don't know. Miss was here a few moments ago."
The old butler answered with a confused face. He narrowed his eyes to see clearly.
Mr. Song's lips twitched as he looked at the useless butler.
"I don't know why is he still kept in this mansion?"
He muttered under a tired breath.
"Baby, what are you doing here?"
Mr. Song turned to look at his wife who looked comparatively very younger than him.
"Nothing, I can't find Xinyi anywhere."
Mr. Song said busily as he searched his daughter's number in his phone to give her a call. When the call didn't connect, he searched her assistant's number.
"What? How can she go anywhere else at this moment?"
The young woman shrieked making Mr. Song wince.
Mr. Song glared at his wife and signed her to shut her mouth when the call went through.
"Assistant Huo, where is Xinyi?"
Mr. Song immediately asked when the call connected.
"Mr. Song, CEO Song is currently attending a very important meeting."
Mr. Song frowned in dissatisfaction and said harshly
"Meeting at this time? She didn't tell me anything. Is she doing it on purpose? Give her the phone and tell her to talk to me."
Assistant Huo was rather calm as if he was already used to Mr. Song's rude behavior.
"Mr. Song, the meeting is with some foreign clients. CEO Song is very busy and can't attend the phone call. Please understand."
And the call was cut.
Mr. Song looked at the phone and then threw it away on the ground in anger.
"She thinks she can stop me by doing all this. Hah…I'll let her see what is the result of trying to cross me."
Saying this, Mr. Song walked back inside the banquet hall. The young woman followed him inside excitedly and signed her young son to follow her.
---------------
Assistant Huo put down the phone and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa having drinks without any expression.
He didn't say anything and stood there silently.
Fifteen minutes later, his phone rang again.
Assistant Huo glanced at the name and picked it up hurriedly. His face was grim when he heard the words from the next side.
Putting down the phone, Assistant Huo looked at his boss and said
"Boss, Mr. Song announced your engagement with Mr. Shen a few minutes ago."
Leaning comfortably on the couch, Song Xinyi swirled the wine in her hands. A cold smile appeared on her lips and she said
"Without me. He announced my engagement without me."
Song Xinyi pretended to look sad and put the glass of red wine on the table.
"My Father is very capable. Isn't he, assistant Huo? However, he should also know that I'm his daughter in the end. After all, a snake will not birth children who will lack poison."
Assistant Huo shivered to see his boss behaving like this.
The woman could make a man pee inside his pants with just one cold look.
Who was more capable than him to work for such a woman?
Not even Mr. Song.
When Song Xinyi filled her glass with wine again, Assistant Huo glanced towards the closed room on his right side.
"Boss, what will we do with Miss Shen."
Song Xinyi turned her head to look at her assistant coldly.
"What do you mean by 'we'?"
Assistant Huo corrected his words immediately and asked again
"I mean what will boss do with Miss Shen?"
Song Xinyi again looked at her assistant as if he was a fool. The condescending made Assistant Huo feel embarrassed.
"That's my business. Why do I need to tell you about this?"
He was indeed a fool.
"Sorry Boss, I asked the wrong question."
"You can leave now."
Song Xinyi said pouring another glass of red wine.
Assistant Huo left.
Song Xinyi drank that last glass of wine and then stood up. She walked towards the door of the closed room and opened it.
Inside the room, the girl was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
There was a small pout on her pink lips and she murmured something in after every few moments.
Song Xinyi sighed.
She was in a hurry to leave the banquet when Shen Youlin fell in her arms. At that time, she couldn't go back inside so she could only bring the girl to her mansion.
She stood there for a few more moments and then left the room.
Closing the door, she went inside her room to sleep.
