"Excuse me, Miss"


    The woman standing in front of Mo Ron called politely when she saw the unresponsive Mo Ron staring at her continuously in a daze.


    "Huh?"


    Mo Ron came out of her trance and swallowed nervously.


    She licked her dry lips as she breathed deeply while observing the woman in front of her with great vignce. Her eyes looking at the woman were cold and had a little wariness in them.


    The woman perhaps noticed her cold and indifferent attitude and smiled tightly.


    "I hope I am not disturbing you, dear."


    The woman still tried to say gently.


    For a moment, Mo Ron just looked at the gentle smile on the woman''s lips, and then she hesitantly shook her head.


    "N..No…"


    She clenched her fists tightly when she found out that she was stuttering.


    She didn''t want to look scared at all… although she was very scared.


    "Oh then it''s good."


    The woman smiled brightly hearing Mo Ron''s answer and continued


    "The middle-aged woman inside the apartment was your mother?"


    Mo Ron swallowed and nodded her lightly.


    The woman smiled softly again.


    "Dear, I am your neighbor. We live in that apartment."


    The woman pointed towards the apartment that was just attached to He Jian''s apartment. Mo Ron''s lips quivered when she registered her words in her mind.


    She licked them again trying to look normal when the woman turned her head to look at her again.


    "I came a few minutes ago to invite your family to a meal in our new house…but silly me, forgot to tell your mother about the time."


    The woman said with a smile on her lips.


    "Pleasee at dinner to our new apartment with your whole family."


    Mo Ron didn''t want to nod her head.


    However, she didn''t get the chance to refuse this ''nice'' invitation.


    "Honey …"


    A voice came from behind the woman and Mo Ron face went paler. She slowly raised her head to look towards the owner of the voice.


    "That''s my husband. "


    The woman told Mo Ron when she saw that Mo Ron was looking towards the man and she even introduced herself


    "By the way, I am Xun Wen and my husband''s name is Zhu Jidong."


    The woman didn''t notice how Mo Ron whispered the names she said with her.


    "I''ll be going now. My husband is waiting for me."


    Saying this, the woman left from there.


    Mo Ron saw the husband of the woman, Zhu Jidong nodded his head at her with a smile on his lips as a greeting and she also forced a smile on her lips.


    Xun Wen and Zhu Jidong entered their apartment and closed their doors but Mo Ron continued to stand there looking at the gates.


    Her face looked very pale as she breathed at a very fast speed.


    She looked as if she was reliving something very bad.


    ---------


    "Mo Ron, think wisely. They want to adopt your brother… your brother will live a very good life."


    The head of the orphanage a middle-aged chubby man said to fourteen-year-old Mo Ron.


    However, Mo Ron firmly shook her head as she looked at the head with his ck-brown eyes.


    Her childish face had the seriousness of an adult woman…something that a girl of her age should not have as she said


    "No, my brother will live with me. He will go where I go. "


    The head had an exasperated expression on his face. For almost an hour, he had been trying to make this girl understand what is best for her brother but she just seems to be very stubborn.


    He also wouldn''t have done so much hard work if he was not offered therge sum of money to make this girl agree.


    "Girl, why don''t you understand? You are too selfish. Only some of the fortunate children who had be orphans at such an age get an opportunity like this. Your brother happens to be one of them but you are. You are just bing an obstacle in your brother''s path of getting good fortune. Why are you so selfish? I pity your br…"


    "Mr. Yun"


    A gentle voice made the head, or Mr. Yun stop amidst his words.


    Mr. Yun looked towards the door and as soon as he saw the woman standing at the door, all of his anger vanished away and he had a very ttering smile on his lips.


    "Mrs. Zhu, Why are you standing there? Pleasee inside.


    Mo Ron frowned when she heard the surname of the woman from Mr. Yun''s mouth and looked towards the woman seriously.


    The woman stepped inside the room and she was also looking at Mo Ron with a gentle smile on her lips.


    "So she is the sister of the cute boy me and my husband want to adopt, Mr. Yun?"


    Mr. Yun red at Mo Ron fiercely when he saw that she didn''t even greeted the woman but smiled outwardly when he saw that Xun Wen was looking at him and answered her question politely


    "Yes, Mrs. Zhu. She is the sister of Mo Chen."


    Xun Wen nodded her head and saw that Mo Ron was still looking at her with a frown.


    She then looked at Mr. Yun again and said


    "Mr. Yun, Can I talk to this girl alone?"


    Mr. Yun looked hesitant for a moment but had to nod his head.


    "Sure…Mrs. Zhu."


    The woman smiled at this answer and then waited for Mr. Yun to leave the room.


    When Mr. Yun didn''t, she raised her eyebrows questioningly at him and Mr. Yun smiled nervously as he said


    "Oh…yeah I need to leave."


    Mr. Yun stepped forward to leave but at the door of the room, he turned around again and called Xun Wen.


    "Mrs. Zhu, the girl…I mean Mo Ron, if she says something rude then please don''t mind it. You know …she is a countryside girl. Those people don''t know how to talk to people like you."


    Mr. Yun said tteringly while Mo Ron frown went deeper after hearing his words.


    Xun Wen, however, smiled calmly and said


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Yun. She is just a young girl…and a very cute one. I already like her very much."


    Xun Wen said as she looked towards Mo Ron with the same gentle smile.


    "I will not take her rude behavior to my heart."


    Mr.. Yun sighed in relief and left the room.
