Chapter 654 Liberation Village, A Fairyland
Chapter 654 Liberation Village, A Fairyland
Winnie took a deep breath, and she didn't accept or refuse Brian's apology. She felt it meaningless to
say anything.
"If you really want to know it, just ask Gloria. You you won't believe me anyway. Why take the trouble to
do that?"
Winnie turned around when she finished speaking, and Brian reminded her again.
"Winnie, don't take care of Penny. Her attitude towards you..."
"Her attitude towards me is not as hurtful as yours."
Winnie felt that this sentence was particularly true, and there was no words to refute it. She was hurt
countless times, but Brian had hurt her most deeply.
Brian was very upset, he just asked a simple question, and finally made both of them upset. His
attitude towards Winnie was indeed problematic, and his way of speaking assumed an air of
superiority. The most important thing was that he had always been calm, but always got angry easily
when facing Winnie.
But all this showed that he cared about Winnie too much, showed that he took everything about her
very seriously.
Winnie's mood was affected by Brian, but she still went to see Romeo at noon. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She asked Romeo out to have lunch together.
Winnie had seen Romeo for a long time. She noticed that Romeo looked pale and his mental condition
was not as good as before.
"Uncle Romeo, why have you lost weight during this time?"
"Nothing. I had a minor operation some time ago. I'm still recovering."
Romeo was still amiable and always easy-going when speaking.
"Operation? What kind of operation? What's the matter? Why didn't you tell me?"
Winnie became worried, and looked up and down Romeo. Except for his pale face, Romeo seemed to
have no problem.
"There was a tumor in my stomach. You don't have to worry about it. It was benign and it has been
surgically removed. You are so busy and work so hard. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make
you worry."
Romeo probably talked about his condition, but he did not tell her because he was afraid that Winnie
would worry about him.
"That's good. You are a blessed person, Uncle Romeo."
"You must tell me what happen to you in the future. You have treated me as your daughter since I was
a child. Now you don't want me as your daughter? How can you not tell me when you are sick."
Winnie felt a little guilty. She was too negligent with Romeo.
Romeo helped her a lot and always comforted her back then. The only person who hadn't urged her to
pay back the money for so many years was Romeo. She could never repay his many kindness to her.
"Well, I will tell you as long as I am in trouble in the future. and I will not hide it from you, my daughter."
Romeo smiled, thankfully.
Winnie was rich now, but she still treated him as before, which gratified him.
"Let's order some mild food. Also, you can't drink."
Winnie warmly reminded, and then called the waiter to start ordering.
They had been chatting during the meal, and Winnie didn't ask about the house until almost finished
eating.
"Uncle Romeo, I want to ask you something. Do you know who bought my villa back then?"
As long as Winnie asked about the past, Romeo had to be serious. He didn't want to mention
everything in the past, no matter it was good or bad.
Winnie and her family was doing very well now, and he didn't want her to uncover the scars of the past.
"Winnie, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"Uncle Romeo, I want to buy that villa again. After all, it is the house where Vanessa and I grew up, and
it is also a pity for my parents."
"If the homeowner is willing to sell it, I will buy it back at a higher price. It can also be regarded as
meeting a last wish of my parents."
Winnie's meaning was clear, and her attitude was firm.
"Winnie, that villa is an old house. Even if your parents are alive, they may have sold it. It is better to
buy a new one if you pay a high price."
Romeo persuaded Winnie. He didn't want Winnie and Vanessa to buy the house. Otherwise, they
would be sad. Even if they lived there, they would feel depressed.
"Uncle Romeo, we want to buy that villa because our parents have passed away. Only there are
memories of our family. And we left in a hurry, and a lot of things were stored in the warehouse next to
the villa."
"Those things are a wealth to us. They are gifts from our parents. No one will give us them again. If I
don't buy the house, we will lose the memories of our parents."
Winnie said she had to buy that house anyway. She also knew that she could buy a better and newer
house at a high price. But there would be no memories of her parents in the new house.
"Back then, your parents left in a hurry, and I didn't know who bought the house. But don't worry, I can
help you inquire about it."
Romeo didn't persuade Winnie anymore, and suddenly felt that what she said made sense.
Others would feel uncomfortable living in that house, but it was the only memory and happiness for
Winnie and Vanessa.
Romeo's words made Winnie a little bit lost. She came with hope, but didn't get the result, naturally she
would feel upset. But it was not surprising. She even didn't know the owner of that house. She didn't
blame Uncle Romeo.
"Uncle Romeo, please help me ask about the courtyard house that grandpa left for my aunt. I can't find
the owner of that house, either."
She still asked Romeo for help. Although she couldn't afford two houses yet, she had to inquire about
the two houses all the time.
"You also want to buy it back? It has appreciated a lot over the years, and the price has doubled
several times."
Romeo asked in surprise. It was not that simple to buy two houses. Let alone whether the owners could
be found, two houses were unaffordable to Winnie.
The villa millions of dollars, and The price of quadrangles is estimated to be several times that of villas.
"I know. We needed money when we sold it, so the price was relatively low. Even if the quadrangle has
not appreciated, it can't be bought back at the original price."
"No matter how much it is, I want to buy it back. It belongs to Aunt Isobel, not Vanessa and me."
It was simple. Winnie just wanted to return it to her aunt , and wanted to keep a memory for her aunt.
"Well, I will help you."
Seeing that Winnie was confident, Romeo knew that he underestimated Winnie. He knew that her life
was better and she was rich, but he didn't expect that she would have so much money.
After separating from Romeo, Winnie prepared something she needed to go to the mountains. And she
also contacted with the police station. What made her happy was that Emily decided to go with her
after knowing it.
So they followed the Vanessa school team into the mountain in the morning of the next day.
The small village they first came to was called Liberation Village, which was relatively backward in the
local area. On the way there, Winnie and Emily thought it must be a dilapidated place.
But they guessed wrong. The village was not dilapidated, but tidy.
"Oh my god. Is it really a backward village? This is simply a fairyland on earth."
Emily couldn't help but admired.
"Yeah, it's a fairyland on earth."
Winnie was also surprised by the environment here.
The village was not only surrounded by mountains, but there was also a small river passing by the
village. The mountains in the distance were hidden in the mist, but it was clear in the village, giving
people the feeling of fairyland on earth.
The walls of the house and the courtyard were all made of stones, and even the roads were made of
stones. In short, everything was made of natural materials.
Each house was clean and free of weeds, so that the whole street was clean and tidy.
"Secretary, why do you need all kinds of publicity? Here is so clean."
Winnie curiously asked the secretary around her. She felt that cleanness would reflect everything. Only
when the quality of people was high could the whole village be cleaned and bright. When people's
quality was high, their quality of life would be improved, and there was no need to educate them.
"You don't know. Here are all left-behind old people and left-behind children here. Young people have
gone out of the mountains to work and earn money. Most of young people come back once a year. The
responsibility of educating children falls on the elderly."
"These old people only know to make the house clean and tidy, and they can do well what you ask
them to do. But they can't do well in educating children."
"If children are not well educated, the quality of our offspring will not be improved, and the small village
will not develop at all."
"Children's education involves all aspects. I think the most basic thing is to let them know the law and
let them have a sense of self-protection. As long as the children are safe, young people who go out to
make money can rest assured."
The secretary said a lot. In short, he was for children and old people.
Winnie understood, knowing that the secretary was a responsible person, otherwise the village would
not be clean and tidy.
"You are right, we will do our best to help them."
Winnie felt that she was full of energy and she felt that she could help these old people and children.
Winnie soon liked this village that was not backward in thought.
In the afternoon, it was almost time to get off work.
"She has gone to Liberation Village?"
Brian was talking on the phone in his office. It was obvious that the call was from a bodyguard.
"I know, be conscientious and responsible."
Brian hung up the phone and only then knew that Winnie was going to volunteer.
"Mr. Bennet, who has gone to Liberation Village? Is there someone who is one step ahead of us to
develop it?"
Albert asked.
Liberation Village had been the object they had been studying for some time recently. Although the
board of directors had not approved the proposal to develop Liberation Village, they were sure of the
final result.
"Winnie went there."
Brian answered quietly.
"Director Chambers? Why did she go there?"
Albert asked in surprise.
"She volunteered with a team to popularize the law to the local villagers."
"I gave her time for her to rest well. She went out to do voluntary work. If I know she is not tired at all, I
will let her go to work."
Brian grumbled coldly. Although volunteering was a good thing, Winnie would get tired.
"Director Chambers is a kind-hearted person."
Going to be a volunteer was not in conflict with their development case, and Albert felt that there was
nothing wrong with it.
"Let's go there too, just to have a talk with the village head."
Brian suddenly made a decision, because it was so sudden that Albert didn't even react.
"Shall we go there too? Now? There will be a meeting later, and..."
"Tomorrow. Postpone your work, you can handle it at home if you can't postpone it ."
Brian had a tough attitude. He must do what he wanted to do, no one could stop him.
