Chapter 204 - Xun Weilan And Zhu Jidong Have A Son

Mo Roulan continued to stare at Xun Weilan's son and didn't respond to the boy's greeting making everyone look at her weirdly.

Lin Qianru smiled confusedly at Xun Weilan who smiled back at her and then she shook her daughter's arm lightly from under the table.

Mo Roulan instantly came out of her trance.

Feeling everyone strange gazes at herself she understood that her behavior must have been weird in everyone's eyes.

She wanted to force a smile on her lips and give some excuse, however even after many tries the smile never came on her lips.

In the end, she could only whisper lightly  

"What is your name?"

The boy was very polite and didn't mind Mo Roulan's lack of response to his greeting.

"My name is Zhu Jiangru."

"Oh…"

Mo Roulan nodded her head lightly and then lowered to pick something from her plate with her chopsticks. She pretended really well to be busy in her own food.

Lin Qianru frowned at her daughter's behavior while Xun Weilan just let it go smilingly.

She asked her son to sit beside Mo Chen.

There was already an empty chair beside Mo Chen so Zhu Jiangru silently sat beside them. Coincidentally the two boys clicked with each other very nicely and a few moments later, they were talking with each other very happily.

All this while, Mo Roulan head was lowered. She seemed to be busy having her dinner, however, her whole attention was on something else.

After every few minutes, Mo Roulan raised her head and looked at Zhu Jiangru and then at Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong.

It was a little hard to digest that Mr. and Mrs. Zhu actually had a son for Mo Roulan.

The first possibility behind the presence of this boy inside their house that came to her mind was that he had been adopted by them.

Since in this life, she and Mo Chen never went to the orphanage, she could find it possible that Mr. and Mrs. Zhu adopted someone else.   

However, this possibility was soon denied by Mo Roulan as she looked at Zhu Jiangru's face. Looking at his face, anyone could tell that he was Zhu Jidong's son as he had exactly the same features as his father.

But how?

She remembered very clearly that Xun Weilan had told her in the orphanage that she didn't have any child in their family.

Mo Roulan suddenly felt a little dizzy and nervous as Zhu Jiangru suddenly stood up from the chair. Holding her brother's hand, he said to his mother

"Mom, I want to show Mo Chen my room."

Xun Weilan nodded her head with a smile.

The child was very sensible and polite as he looked at Lin Qianru also after having his mother's permission.

Mo Roulan felt no surprise when she saw her mother's face going soft seeing Zhu Jiangru's actions. Anyone would find a sensible child endearing to his eyes.

Lin Qianru even patted his head lightly and said

"You can take Mo Chen."

Mo Roulan wanted to stop Mo Chen from going away. She didn't like him going out of her sight at this moment.

However, she couldn't say anything. Her throat was very dry. She opened her mouth but she couldn't let out a single word.

Her hands placed in her lap were trembling as she helplessly watched her brother being dragged by Zhu Jiangru.

When Mo Chen was at the door of the dining room, a soft whisper finally escaped from her lips. 

"Chenchen…"

As if Mo Chen heard her whispering his name, he turned his head around to look at her and smiled brightly.

The smile seemed to have eased her heart a little bit.

It gave her the strength to sit there until Mo Chen doesn't come back and sit beside her again.

'Nothing will happen. If something did, then she was just a few steps away from her brother.'

Mo Roulan tried to assure herself.

Although Mo Roulan said so inside her heart, she still couldn't stop herself from looking at the door of the dining room again and again.

On the table, Lin Qianru had started chatting with Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong again.

"Miss Lin, May I ask in which school does Mo Chen study?"

Zhu Jidong asked Lin Qianru politely.

"Actually I and Weilan are also looking for some school for Jiangru but it should be nearby."

Lin Qianru smiled and answered Zhu Jidong's question.

Xun Weilan asked a few questions about how was the study in the school and how were the teachers.

Lin Qianru couldn't answer all the questions as she had only visited Mo Chen's school once but she still tried her best to answer all of them.

She also told Xun Weilan that a few days later, she had to visit the school to attend Mo Chen's parent-teacher meeting so she can accompany her to visit the school.

Xun Weilan accepted the offer and then thanked Lin Qianru for solving her biggest problem.

She then asked her if Mo Chen attends some tutoring classes and Lin Qianru instantly shook her head.

"Actually there is a very good center nearby our building. I send our Ruru there to attend their tutoring classes until we admit him to the new school. They teach very well. Miss Lin, you should also think about it if you want Mo Chen to attend tutoring classes."

Lin Qianru didn't know much about today's studies method.

So she looked at her daughter only to find her looking towards the door with a frown on her forehead.    

"Roulan"

Lin Qinaru held her daughter's hand and tried to attract her attention.

"Huh"

Mo Roulan instantly looked at her mother.

Lin Qianru felt a little strange when she saw Mo Roulan's face.

Why does she seem to be a little scared and nervous?

However, in presence of so many people, she didn't ask her this question and proceeded with what she wanted to say 

"Mrs. Zhu here is suggesting some tutoring classes for Mo Chen…what do you think about it?"

The truth was that Lin Qianru had been now used to taking her daughter's suggestion in every decision she took regarding Mo Chen or for all three of them.

Since the time she had undergone surgery, Mo Roulan had shown such maturity and sensibility that even she had been left shocked by some of her sensible decisions in some of the matters.

So she could not help but ask her about this matter also.

Mo Roulan shook her head when she heard her mother's question and said

"Mom, our Chenchen doesn't need any tutoring classes. He is already doing well than any other students in his class."

Lin Qianru smiled as soon as Mo Roulan said this.

Both of her children were so intelligent and sensible.

How could she as a mother not feel proud?

However, sitting beside Lin Qianru, Xun Weilan's attention was not in this matter.

Her eyes had flickered when she saw the full trust in Lin Qianru's eyes as he asked her about her thoughts on Mo Chen taking some tutoring classes. 

It could be seen clearly that Lin Qianru depended on her daughter to make some important decisions about their family.

As she looked at her husband, she saw that he was already looking at her with a thoughtful face. But she knew that his thoughts were no different from hers.

She silently noted it down inside her heart.
