My Beloved

Chapter 171 - THE URGENT CALL

After hearing the report, Mu Liang paused and frowned at the thought, 'Why would a teenager have a stalker? Was it her family who hired him or was it a diehard fan?' He looked at his assistant and asked, "Did the bodyguards find out who that person was?"

Assistant on hesitantly replied, "No, Sir, they did their best but the stalker was professional."

Mu Liang's frown deepened. He commented, "If that stalker was professional then it means that he or she wasn't a stalker." He put down his file and instructed his assistant, "Since the contract is already up, it's none of our business. Inform her and her guardians about it and let it end and there is no deed to make my wife concerned about it."

Assistant Ju Long replied, "Yes, Sir."

He needed to call Han Luo now. He went back to his room and called Han Luo. 

However, at that time, Han Luo didn't have the time to answer the call. She was kneeling in front of Noah, Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan in the living room. Beside her was Beth. Both of them were kneeling.

Jack was sitting on the table. His mother Chef Sophia was standing beside him. She looked worried as she gazed at Han Luo.

Noah's blue veins were popping. "One is fourteen and another is fifteen years old. Two girls tricked the elders, went to the nightclub without informing us, drank alcohol, and got drunk. If it wasn't for Jack and Young Master Mo, do you think you could stand in your two feet right now? You could have been raped or kidnapped or sold. Have you thought about what we would have done if that happened? Think about Young Master Tang who sent you by himself. He is only sixteen years old and if anything happened to both of you, his life would have ruined. He would have blamed himself for the rest of his life. Have you ever thought of that?" 

Noah was enraged by the fact that these two punks made everyone worried sick. He couldn't believe that despite being an understanding person, Han Luo didn't listen to him and got drunk in a nightclub. 

He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "I understand that you wanted to taste the life of an adult. You can't even protect yourself from anger. How can you go there by yourself? If you had taken Young Master Tang with you, at least he could have protected you."

Han Luo was never scolded like this in her entire life. She knew she deserved it but she couldn't help but wail. Her limpid eyes were filled with tears and her eyes became red and puffy. She struggled to control her tears but she couldn't. 

She raised her head and looked at Noah with her puppy look. Her expression made people feel like pampering her till she stopped crying.

However, Noah didn't fall for it. He sternly said, "Your pitiful expression won't work on me, young lady. I think you have something else to say."

Han Luo flinched and then glanced at Han Sheng Ming. She thought maybe her cousin would help her. But, Han Sheng Ming quickly averted his eyes before she could meet his eyes. He knew that if he looked at her, he would want to protect her from Noah's anger. However, he believed that Han Luo needed to be punished this time. 

They cannot keep an eye on her every time. If she doesn't understand what is good and what is bad for her, she will become a nuisance to the people around her. How long will she depend on others? She needs to learn about her strength and weakness and plan accordingly. 

Spotting that Han Sheng Ming wouldn't help her, Han Luo helplessly glanced at Mo Yuan who also refused to help her. He indeed pampered her the most but it didn't mean he would stop Noah from teaching her a lesson when she needed it. He had a feeling that it might come to this point and so he decided not to discipline her by himself.

When Han Luo realized that Mo Yuan wouldn't help her, her heart broke. Droplets of tears fell from her eyes and rolled down on her cheeks. She wiped her runny nose. She looked miserable. She finally looked at Tang Yujin for help. 

Tang Yujin's expression didn't look good. He couldn't sleep the whole night after Jack brought the drunken Beth home. He was worried and blamed himself for not keeping an eye on those two girls.

However, seeing her heartbreaking expression, he sighed and walked closer. He knelt before her and said, "Little Luo, you shouldn't have done that. We were worried about you." His voice was gentle and soothing. 

His caring voice made Han Luo burst into tears. She took his hands and cried pitifully. "B-big brother Yujin, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean this to happen. Don't scold me."

Tang Yujin let out a breath and squeezed her hands. "Are you really sorry?"

Han Luo nodded. 

Tang Yujin wasn't satisfied with it. He said, "Speak, I want to hear you say it."

Han Luo wept and said, "Y-yes… I'm sorry, big brother Yujin. I'm sorry everyone."

He asked again, "Will you do this again?"

Han Luo shook her head, "N-no… I'll be a good girl and won't do it anymore."

Tang Yujin looked at Noah and signaled him with his eyes. Noah coughed loudly and said, "As for your punishment, stay at home and try to think in the future before you turn eighteen what you will do and what you will not do. Create a list of it and make it six copies. One will be with you, another one will be with me, the other three will be with three young masters and the last one will be with Madam Mo. Understand?"

Han Luo vigorously nodded. She dared not to disobey him. She knew that she really messed up this time. She wanted to grow up and make the people around her at ease. She wished them to see her as a responsible, mature girl. She didn't think she would screw up like that.

Her cell phone was on the table.. It rang quite some time before it became silent.
