Chapter 418 - HOW DID IT TURN OUT THIS WAY? (2/2)

Han Luo accepted the invitation. ”Sure, we will do that. Thank you for your invitation.” Nana Shimizu was from a powerful family. If they ever expand their business in Japan, they might need Nana Shimizu's help. It was better to be on her good side.

Nana Shimizu gave her a thoughtful look before commenting, ”You look rather happy than I imagined. I thought you would be upset and tensed.”

It was time for Nana Shimizu to be puzzled. ”Did you not know?” she asked. And then, she stole a glance at Mo Yuan. ”Did you two have no idea?”

”No, we don't. What are you talking about?” Han Luo's heartbeat increased. She felt as if something bad had happened.

Mo Yuan who was playing with Han Luo's hair without paying attention to the uninvited guest finally stopped playing and looked at Nan Shimizu. He didn't need to mention that he was annoyed. His eyes were saying that openly.

Nana Shimizu didn't notice the annoyance in his eyes. Her heart fluttered when she felt his gaze on her. She mentioned, ”Your best friend, Beth, her company isn't doing well. Also, your other friend who lives with you, her jobs are all canceled. They are having a hard time.”

”What did you say?” Han Luo felt that her ears were buzzing. She thought everything she heard was an imagination. Or, it could be that she didn't hear right.

”It looks like you really didn't know,” Nana Shimizu remarked. She quickly apologized, ”I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your vacation. I thought you knew. I mean, how could you not know. I heard about it a week ago. Your friends would have contacted you, wouldn't they?”

Han Luo took a while to digest the news and glanced at Mo Yuan to confirm if it's true or false. Seeing his nonchalant, expressionless face, her heart thumped. ”Did… you know…?”

Mo Yuan gave her a quiet look. Han Luo felt as if her head was spinning. She gave Nana Shimizu a blank look and told her, ”Can you please give us some moment? We need to talk.”

Nana Shimizu noticed her pale face. A joyous expression from a moment ago was completely gone. She calmly nodded and said, ”Sure, please take your time.”

Nana Shimizu stopped on her track and took a deep breath. Slowly, her heart calmed down. She lightly patted her c.h.e.s.t and then resumed walking.

Han Luo listened to her footsteps going further away. After it was completely gone, she gazed at Mo Yuan. ”You knew! Why didn't you tell me? How come no one contacted me?! No wonder I couldn't contact Beth. So it was like this. What's their situation now?”

”I didn't tell you because I was worried you would forget about the trip and go back to London. I brought you here so that you can relax and think about nothing else. You needed that.” Mo Yuan didn't want to cause any misunderstanding. He wouldn't want that to happen. That's why he told her why he hid about her friends.

”What…” Han Luo couldn't blame him nor could she show her frustration. She let out a deep sigh. She punched his c.h.e.s.t with her fists and asked him, ”Since you know Beth and Mian's situation, did you investigate how things turned out this way?”
