CHAPTER 624: HE MINGZHU RECOGNIZES HE JIAN

Mo Roulan was silent as she processed all the information.

A part of her actually wanted to accept the offer. But...

"What is stopping you?"

Ji Zhen asked Mo Roulan gently.

Mo Roulan was hesitant before she said

"I am afraid that Jian would not agree...and he is still recovering so..."

Only this morning, she had it hard to come to the office. She didn’t think that He Jian would let her go to London.

However, Ji Zhen frowned at her words and said immediately

"And why do you need his permission?"

Mo Roulan looked at Ji Zhen with a surprised expression on her face while the latter continued

"If you want to go then you should go. You just need to tell him ...not ask him, Roulan. About his recovery...there are many people here for him."

Mo Roulan pondered on Ji Zhen’s words and found them right.

Indeed, if she wanted to go then she should go.

Seeing her so thoughtful, Ji Zhen sighed and said further

"I know you also want some time for yourself."

Mo Roulan was again left surprised. How did Ji Zhen know this? One of the reasons behind her will to accept the offer was this as well.

She wanted some time away from everything...where she could think about everything calmly.

"I can understand."

Ji Zhen smiled and said

"It is hard. You are afraid for your family but you also love my grandson. It is understandable. Don’t worry about anything. Tell me your decision. If you want to go then I will talk to He Jian in the evening."

Mo Roulan nodded her head.

Ji Zhen left after some time.

Mo Roulan worked till the end of office hours. Before leaving, she went to Ji Zhen’s office and told her her decision.

"I will like to accept this project."

Ji Zhen smiled and said

"You will need to leave tomorrow afternoon only. Pack your clothes while my secretary will handle the tickets and other arrangements."

Mo Roulan nodded her head.

When she came out of the office building, the driver was already waiting for her. On the way to He Mansion, she was still wondering how she will tell this news to He Jian.

But in the later half of the journey, she pondered on what Ji Zhen said again.

She didn’t need He Jian’s permission.

Nodding to herself, she focused her attention on her phone instead.

On the other hand, inside his room, He Jian was reading the file in his hand. Chu Feng was standing near the bed.

They were working in the study room before but a few minutes ago, his boss suddenly decided to bring his work here.

Chu Feng had a feeling that it was because Mo Roulan was about to return soon.

Seeing his boss looking towards the door, again and again, he was more certain of his guess.

"Give me the other one."

He Jian said as he signed the file in his hand and forwarded his hand to the other. Chu Feng immediately passed him another file.

As He Jian read the file in his hands while waiting for Mo Roulan, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Ah!"

He Jian stiffened when he recognized the voice. He raised his head slowly and looked towards the door.

At the door was standing his mother.

What was she doing here? Where was his father?

Since yesterday, he had not seen her once and he didn’t try to. He found his heart filling up with guilt whenever he thought about her...that’s why he tried his best to avoid her.

But when had he expected that she would walk to his room on her own?

"Boss!"

He Jian came out of his trance when Chu Feng called him. Chu Feng on the other hand was looking at the woman with confusion-filled eyes.

Who was this woman?

Except for Mo Roulan, he never knew that there was another woman who lived in He Mansion.

The woman walked inside the room and she was looking at He Jian with bright eyes.

He Jian looked away from her eyes and said as calmly as he could

"Go back to your room."

But in response to his words, the woman pouted and only said

"Ah..."

He Jian didn’t know what he should do.

In the end, he put aside the file in his hands and climbed down from the bed.

Chu Feng then watched with shock-filled eyes how his boss held the woman’s hand and said gently

"Come. I will drop you to your room."

Chu Feng never knew that his boss could behave so gently with someone else except Mo Roulan.

The woman however held He Jian’s other hand as well.

He Jian stiffened when she suddenly raised her hand and touched his face. She caressed his cheeks and then put her hands on his shoulders.

He saw how her eyes flashed with pain, love, and despair.

"Jian....My son..."

Even though He Jian’s tried his best, his adam apple wobbled when he heard his mother.

Did she recognize him? But Lanlan said that she didn’t remember anything.

He swallowed the lump inside his throat and called out calmly.

"Mom..."

"Jian..."

Tears fell down from He Mingzhu’s eyes like a pearl string.

"My Jian....my son..."

Then she suddenly hugged He Jian in her arms tightly while she wept on his chest.

So many years...she had missed so many years in her son’s life.

She remembered how much pain she had gone through while giving birth to him but everything was forgotten the moment she had held him in her arms.

He looked just like the man she loved.

Till the time she still had her consciousness when she was locked by He Zhing, she always used to wonder how grown up he must be...did he miss her...did he even know her name?

At one point, she started to think that she will never see him again.

But she saw him.

However, now her son was so grown up.

He no longer needed her care and love.

He Mingzhu wondered what sins she committed to go through all those things.
