As they were driving back to the villa, Olinda Duan's phone call came in: "Milo Leng, help me pick up someone at the airport."
"Oh, who are you picking up? What time?"Milo Leng looked at the road signs and turned towards the airport.
"Her name is Vanessa Xu. She will arrive in Island city at two o'clock in the afternoon. I will send you her photo later."
Just after hanging up the phone, Milo Leng received a photo on WeChat, but he was driving and it was not convenient to see it.
When we arrived at the airport, it was only half past twelve. Milo Leng walked into Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. Then he opened WeChat and looked at the photos.
In the photo, there is a beauty with long flowing hair and exquisite facial features. However, the photo seems to have been processed, so it is hard to say how this beauty will be in reality.
I was drinking coffee and playing with my mobile phone in Starbucks, and it was half past one before I knew it.
When he arrived at the pick-up gate, Milo Leng used his mobile phone to compare the passengers who were coming out. After a while, a tall beauty wearing a floral dress and a round hat walked out dragging her suitcase.
Milo Leng compared it and finally determined that this beauty was Vanessa Xu, whom he wanted to pick up at the airport.
"The real person is more beautiful than the photos!"Milo Leng thought in his heart, raised his hand and shouted to Vanessa Xu: "Vanessa Xu, this way."
Vanessa Xu heard Milo Leng's voice and walked over. Then she pushed the suitcase to Milo Leng and said, "Jiayi has good taste, and the driver is actually quite handsome!"
When Milo Leng heard this, he looked embarrassed. Why did he become the driver?
After taking the suitcase, Milo Leng took Vanessa Xu to the car. Vanessa Xu got in the car directly, while Milo Leng put the suitcase into the trunk before sitting in the driver's seat.
"Take me to the Windmill orphanage first!"Vanessa Xu recalled with eyes wide open.
"You really think of me as a driver!"Milo Leng felt depressed, but did not explain. Maybe Olinda Duan didn't want Vanessa Xu to know about their current relationship.
Along the way, Vanessa Xu just played with her mobile phone and did not have much communication with Milo Leng. Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Windmill orphanage. Milo Leng followed into the orphanage carrying the fruits Vanessa Xu had just bought.
In the orphanage, many children were playing. Vanessa Xu looked at these children with memories in her eyes. When Milo Leng saw this, he already knew that this might be the place where Vanessa Xu grew up.
"President Choi!" In front, a woman in her fifties was giving water to several disabled children. Seeing this woman, Vanessa Xu immediately shouted with tears in her eyes.
President Choi heard Vanessa Xu's voice and turned to look. When he saw Vanessa Xu, President Choi smiled happily.
Vanessa Xu ran over quickly and hugged President Choi. President Choi's face was full of kindness: "Feixue, you are back! We haven't seen you for so long, and you are even more beautiful!"
"President Choi, you have more white hair!"Vanessa Xu looked at President Choi's white hair and said distressedly.
The two chatted for a while, and President Choi looked at Milo Leng. She asked Vanessa Xu, "Is this your boyfriend?"
"No, he is the driver sent by my friend."Vanessa Xu explained quickly, took the fruit and handed it to President Choi.
Vanessa Xu and President Choi hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say. Milo Leng walked aside wisely and then played with a group of children.
Milo Leng was having fun with his children when he suddenly heard the sound of an excavator coming from the door. Then Milo Leng saw the walls of the orphanage begin to shake and was about to collapse.
Beside the wall, there were three children playing!
"Get out of the way!" While shouting, Milo Leng quickly rushed towards the three children and protected the three of them as they escaped.
As soon as they left, they heard a roar and the wall collapsed. This sudden sound scared the children in the orphanage and started crying.
Vanessa Xu and the dean were also attracted by the sound of the wall collapsing. When they saw the collapsing wall, their faces turned pale with fear.
"Are you okay?"Milo Leng asked the three children with concern.
The three children were a little frightened, but fortunately they were not injured. Milo Leng turned around and saw an excavator roaring, and not far from the excavator, two Mercedes-Benz luxury cars were parked there.
"Bad guy!" A child yelled angrily.
"Dean, what's going on?"Vanessa Xu was extremely angry. This orphanage was where she grew up, it was her home, and now the walls were knocked down.
"It's people from the construction company. They want to force us to leave and build a residential community here."President Choi was extremely angry, but she was just the director of an orphanage, so what ability could she have to stop it?
"President Choi, we meet again!" At this time, a group of people got out of the Mercedes-Benz, led by a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit.
"Lawyer Hu, what are you doing? Even if you want to demolish it, do you have to wait until you build a new orphanage?"President Choi said angrily.
Lawyer Hu smiled when he heard this and said: "The new orphanage has been built for you, you can move there now."
"What? Has it been built? Where is it?"President Choi also knows the general trend. With the transformation of the city, it will be a matter of time for the orphanage to move out. She just hopes to give the children a good growing environment.
"Southwind village, the new orphanage is much bigger than this one!"Lawyer Hu said with a smile.
"What? Southwind village?"President Choi trembled angrily. Southwind village is the area with the most severe chemical pollution. Many residents there have moved away because they are uninhabitable. These people actually want to move the orphanage there!
"Have you done it? What are you talking about with all their nonsense? The new orphanage has already found a location. It's their business to move it or not. Move it!" In the Mercedes-Benz behind, a man wearing sunglasses said to Lawyer Hu yelled.
When Lawyer Hu heard the man's scolding, he said to President Choi: "President Choi, take your children and leave quickly. I have already called a bus for you."
"No, I can't let the children go to Southwind village! Are you still human? Southwind village is full of chemical emissions, and even adults can't live there. You let these children live in that kind of place?"President Choi said angrily said.
"Yes, the children must not go. If you want the orphanage to move, you must find an environment suitable for the children to grow up, otherwise they will not move!"Vanessa Xu also understood what was going on, and she said angrily.
"The instructions given to us from above are just to find a place to house you, and we don't ask for anything else. This land belongs to the public. If you say you won't move, won't you move?"Lawyer Hu snorted and pointed at the excavator. He waved his hand and shouted: "Tear it down for me!"
"If you want to demolish it, get over me!"Vanessa Xu actually ran in front of the excavator and blocked its direction with her body.
"Tricking me? Pull her aside!"Lawyer Hu shouted viciously to the men around him.
