Chapter 161 - WHERE IS EVERYONE

"You look better than I imagine. I thought you would face hardship after signing a crude contract," Yujin commented. 

Tang Yujin's driver was driving the car while Yujin sat on the passenger seat and three girls sat on the back seats.

Han Luo replied, "I thought that too. However, President Mu is very considerate toward young people. He even ordered his food supplier to send me fresh vegetables, fish, and meat every week. I've got the supplies in every Saturday morning."

"For real?" Beth asked in disbelief.

Han Luo nodded in confirmation. "Yes, if his wife didn't tell me, I wouldn't have believed it. Although, I pestered President Mu's assistant later on and he also confirmed it. I hardly went to the supermarket. Also the dresses I wore during parties as well as my dancing costumes were also provided by the company. The company gave me two sets of clothes every season too. Medical fees were also carried by the company. The Mu Corporation is like big support over my head."

Beth placed her right hand on her chin and rubbed slowly. "However, in the end, you are the one who paid for everything, didn't you? I guess you got less amount of money because of it." 

Han Luo snickered. "Fifty percent of my income directly went to my bank account. No one touched it. The company had spent the money from another fifty percent that was given to the company. In other words, I didn't lose anything."

Zheng Mian commented, "You are damn lucky, Luo. I have been working under him for six years but I've never been treated like that. He must have felt guilty not to let you see your friends and family."

Han Luo looked at her and told her, "Mrs. Mu said that if I were to grow up under my family's protection, I would have grown up as a useless person. I think President Mu did me a huge favor."

"I think so too. After my mother died, my father did spoil me from time to time but he taught me and my elder brothers many things so that I wouldn't face hardship after being alone. Your family didn't even teach you how to cook let alone other things."

Tang Yujin looked at the road ahead and continued the previous topic, "Because of the treatment, actors, actresses, and models never leave the Mu Corporation after joining. The environment is pretty good and safe for them. They are well protected and the management is reasonable and good to them. I've done some research and found out that President Mu Liang is generous to the youngsters. It seems that the contract you signed wasn't a fake one but he did it only to scare you. You are quite lucky. If it was Xiao Yuan, I don't think he would be this lucky."

Han Luo thought about it and giggled. "I think so too. By the way, where are big brother Ming and big brother Yuan? I thought they would come to pick me up."

Tang Yujin helplessly explained, "They went to Japan to enjoy winter vacation as well as to complete an assignment. They were supposed to come here yesterday. However, Xiao Ming forgot that you were coming today and so he bought the ticket for today. Xiao Yuan got angry at Xiao Ming but he could do nothing about it. It was a new year eve yesterday. All the tickets were bought early. Now, Xiao Ming is crying at the airport. I'm sure of it."

Han Luo thought to herself, 'Big brother Ming, you need to be punished.' She asked, "Where are mom and dad?"

Tang Yujin answered, "Auntie Mo went to Canada for her work, and uncle Mo went to Australia for business. I think they will come back tomorrow."

"I see…" Han Luo didn't ask anything else. Soon, they reached her house.

Zheng Mian's eyes widened in shock. "Luo, you actually live in the Bishop's Avenue?!"

"It's a present from my uncle. He dotes on me a lot," Han Luo said. Her eyes held the warmth of her uncle and her cousin. They really looked out for her. If they didn't, she couldn't meet Ma Rui and the rest of them. She always thanked Lord Buddha for letting her meet these wonderful people.

Han Luo came out of the car and saw Noah, chef Sophia, maid Poppy, and maid Eva were waiting for her at the entrance. 

Noah smiled warmly at her and bowed, "Welcome back, Young Mistress Han. I hope you have been doing well over the past two years."

"I'm back, yes, I've been doing well." Han Luo didn't know why her eyes welled up seeing their soft expression and a warm smile.

Zheng Mian's jaw dropped. "All right, I get it now. You are a modern princess. No wonder you were so spoiled."

Upon hearing her comment, Han Luo and Beth laughed. Han Luo stopped laughing and introduced her to everyone, "She is Zheng Mian who was my roommate for two years during my stay in Paris. She will stay here for two to three years as a guest. Please treat her well."

Zheng Mian was natural. She bowed to Noah and the rest of them, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet. Please take care of me." 

Butler Noah bowed to her as well. "Welcome to London, Miss Zheng. Thank you for taking care of our Young Mistress Han. We are in debt."

Zheng Mian wasn't used to this. In her house, they didn't have butlers. "Ah, it's nothing. Luo is easy to get along. I've heard so many things about you that I can tell just by looking at which one is Noah, Sophia, Poppy, and Eva. By the way, I don't think I'm seeing another face. I think Jack is missing. Isn't he Sophia's son?"

Sophia was embarrassed. She said, "That child of mine went out. He isn't a friendly person. Please don't mind him."

"No, it's fine. I wasn't looking forward to meeting him actually.. Oh well, I can meet him any time since I'm staying here for a while," Zheng Mian shrugged.
