My Beloved

Chapter 155 - THE DEAL

When they were talking, Mu Liang and Assistant Ju Long entered the room. 

"Dad!" Mu Ling called him the moment he saw Mu Liang entering the living room. He ran toward Mu Liang and hugged his leg.

"Papa!" Mu Laquan followed his second brother and hugged Mu Liang's other leg.

Mu Liang bent down and took them in his arms. He looked at the teenagers and said nothing. He silently glared at Han Luo. 

Han Luo gave him the same look. She wasn't afraid of him and she didn't care if he didn't like her or not. He had already taken his revenge. 

There is no point in continuously giving each other lessons.

Mo Yuan stood in front of Han Luo to block Mu Liang's gaze. He wasn't glaring but he was calm and his gaze was cold and piercing. 

'What's wrong with kids these days? So impolite! I should keep my children away from them,' Mu Liang frowned at the thought and then left with his sons. His expression didn't look calm.

The riceball number two and three were happy to get a hold of their daddy and so they forgot all about their 'pretty sister'. 

Assistant Ju Long shook his head seeing the childishness of his friend and also boss. He looked at the teenagers and introduced himself, "Hello youngsters, I'm Assistant Ju Long. I'm here to talk to both Mo Yuan and Han Luo. All of you please sit down." 

As they all sat down, Assistant Ju Long opened his bag and brought out some files. He looked at Han Luo and smiled. "You are Han Luo, correct?"

"Yes," Han Luo nodded.

"I've never seen such a brave kid like you. On second thought, I did actually see one. Other than you, there was another kid who was courageous enough to try to negotiate with President Mu. I greatly admire both of your courage," Assistant Ju Long looked at Mo Yuan and said, "Your six years working deal turned into a two years working deal."

Mo Yuan opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He was stunned by the sudden news. 'Did Ah Luo do that?'

Tang Yujin was also surprised. He sighed in relief and was about to thank Assistant Ju Long when Assistant Ju Long dropped the next bomb.

He told Mu Yuan, "Instead of you, Han Luo will stay in Paris and work under the Mu Corporation."

Mo Yuan felt chills run down his spine. His fingertips turned cold. Now he realized why Han Luo looked so peaceful at that time.

Tang Yujin was shocked. He suddenly felt empty inside his heart. It hadn't been six months that they were finally able to reunite with Han Luo. 

However, once again they are going to be separated.

Why is the Almighty so cruel to this orphan? 

Assistant Ju Long let the pale-faced boys digest his words and then continued, "During this period, Han Luo cannot meet her family members or friends from another country. She will study in the morning and work in the evening. She has to take care of her own educational expenses. The company won't help her or guide her in any way."

He continued, "She will get fifty percent of the money from what she will earn and the company will get another fifty percent. She will be given an apartment. She can decorate it on her own. She can stay in the apartment for free. She has to buy or cook her own food. If she wants to hire a cook or a housemaid, she has to use her own pocket money."

He added more conditions, "She is welcome to stop studying anytime she wants. Her family or guardian cannot support her economically. If she wants to buy clothes or her daily necessities, she has to do it on her own. She will have to do everything on her own and stand on her own two feet. Since the time duration has been shortened, Han Luo cannot quit in the middle or else she has to pay twenty million US dollars."

The more Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin listened, the more they felt cold. There was no way Han Luo could take care of herself. So what if she was an orphan? She was raised by Noah. She was spoiled rotten by Ma Rui. 

She never cooked and she had no idea how to manage money. She was always protected and kept away from danger. There were more people outside who were more vicious and more scheming than her aunt and cousins. She had no idea of the harsh reality of life. She was still a twelve years old kid.

While listening to the condition, Han Luo realized that because of her, her big brother Yuan was going to have a hard life. She was relieved that she was able to stop it and she was the one who was going to stay in Paris instead.

Mo Yuan opened his mouth first. "No way… there is no way I'll allow Ah Luo to stay in Paris alone." He glared at Assistant Ju Long and asked, "Why did you listen to her? She is still so young. Why didn't you ask me first before making such a decision?"

Assistant Ju Long looked at him calmly and replied, "It's because every person has the right to choose for their own. You have no right to stop them."

He adjusted his glasses and added, "Moreover, Han Luo herself admitted that the problem was created because of her carelessness and so, she wanted to make amends. She doesn't want others to be punished for her own mistake," he paused before continuing, "Can't you see that she wants to grow up? As her older brother, why do you want to prevent that?"

Han Luo, who was sitting in between Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin, placed her hand on Mo Yuan.. "Big brother Yuan, I know very well what this deal is for. If it wasn't for me, would you go to such a great length?"
