In early August, Ilan received a video request from a stranger. She didn't answer at first, and then came a text message from the other party: Miss Tong, I am the legal adviser of the Ethics Bureau, and my surname is Wen.

Yilan frowned slightly, picked up and asked, "Mr. Wen, is there something wrong?" ”

This Mr. Wen was the legal counsel who accompanied Yilan when he went to Tudo Main Star last time to sign a voluntary renunciation agreement. He greeted Yilan first, and then said: "Miss Tong, last time you signed an agreement on the voluntary renunciation of your biological mother's property inheritance, since the citizens of the alliance have an innate right to know the future ownership of their own property, the Ethics and Morality Bureau has notified your biological mother according to the normal work process, and she is fully aware of your wishes. He paused to give Ilan time to digest his words.

Ilan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does she know about me?" ”

Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "Given the fact that she did not sign an agreement with the orphanage to retrieve your direct blood relatives before you were eighteen years old, she has no legal right to know the ** information of another adult." We cannot disclose your name or any other circumstances to her, but only inform her of your intention to renounce your right to inherit the property in accordance with the legal process. ”

Yilan nodded slightly, and listened to Mr. Wen continue: "After your biological mother learned of your wishes, she entrusted the Ethics Bureau to donate a sum of money to your orphanage, and indicated that you are the sole and sole owner of the money. ”

Ilan frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Mr. Wen said: "I must explain to you the legal connotation of sole and plenipotentiary ownership. That is, you have a property right to this amount, which is your private property and is inviolable. You are free to use the money at your disposal, including foregoing the donation and making other arrangements. The donation will only be made if you agree to it. ”

"Can I return it to her?" Ilan asked.

"No, every Union citizen has the right to dispose of her own property, including conditional donations, and we cannot prevent her from exercising her rights."

"Then the law of the Union allows a citizen to be designated as the owner of whatever person is without the complete knowledge of whom?" Ilan was furious all of a sudden.

Mr. Wen paused and said: "The law of the alliance stipulates that in the donation process, as the designated and trusted executor of the donation, including the sole and all-owned owner, every citizen of the alliance has the obligation to cooperate. ”

Ilan really wanted to curse, and hit her head with a pile of. She took a deep breath and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "What should I do?" ”

"We first need to know your willingness to dispose of this money. If you think about it, it's a lot of money, 3 million SGs. ”

Ilan was stunned for a moment, what is the concept of three million star coins? In order to reduce the tuition fee to 2,500 star coins in the first year of enrollment, she sat and waited for the school's reply for two months, only brought two changes of clothes to school, went to work in the restaurant every night, and was almost penniless after having to buy a second-hand hovercar, anxiously looking forward to the harvest period of apples on Ayou's side day and night.

Ilan bit her lip and said, "All this money will be donated to the orphanage. To be honest, she was afraid that she would think too much.

Mr. Wen said seriously: "Miss Tong, I suggest that you think about it carefully." You don't need to decide now, I'll wait for your response tomorrow. "I'm going to go offline.

"Mr. Wen," Ilan hurriedly stopped him, "I have really thought it through, and I am willing to let the orphanage get this money, it is my prudent decision. She was just afraid that she would be tempted.

"You, sure?" Mr. Wen asked.

"I'm sure, nothing has changed." Ilan nodded hurriedly.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Wen said, "Well, if this is your decision, we respect your wishes. You need to go to the orphanage, and the Ethics Bureau, the orphanage, and you will sign a formal donation agreement. ”

"I'm going to rush to Aegean?" Ilan asked angrily.

"Yes, I'll go then." Mr. Wen said.

"I can't afford to travel." Ilan was furious, she didn't want to spend this unjust money.

Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yilan with a complicated expression and said, "The expenses of the executor of the donation money to assist in the donation are all paid from the donation, don't worry." "This girl just gave up a huge sum of three million without blinking an eye, but she couldn't even afford the travel expenses.

Yilan calmed down a little and said, "I want to end this matter as much as possible, I'm busy." "She only has time to go out for an Aegean trip this month, and she won't have time after school starts.

The two agreed on a time, and Mr. Wen said that he would arrange Yilan's itinerary, so he hung up.

Yilan looked up at the sky, as if she had a bad year during this time, and bad things followed, and after a long time, she slowly exhaled a breath, pulled Ayou, and walked around the field again.

On August 10, Elan departed for the Aegean. Arriving at Aegean in the afternoon of the second day, the airport was crowded with people. Ilan stood silently in the hall, and from time to time someone passed by. She looked around, and she couldn't remember her first impression. She was just eighteen years old, so frightened and unfamiliar that she didn't even dare to ask for directions in the airport, and she wandered around twice like a headless fly before she found the boarding gate. What the airport was like, she didn't see it clearly, she only remembered that it was big, so big that it was frightening, there were many people, and she was just one alone.

"Miss Tong, it's a pleasure to see you again." Mr. Wen walked over quickly, interrupting Ilan's thoughts.

Ilan smiled and said hello, and after a brief greeting between the two, they went to the orphanage together. Along the way, Ilan was silent. She remembers that when she left the orphanage, it was the director who sent someone to drive her to the airport, and she left in silence all the way.

The orphanage is in a remote and secluded area, in a beautiful setting, and there is a nameplate on the door: Aegean Star Children's Home. On the surface, orphanages are called children's homes. Ilan watched silently, without any expression. She had never deliberately recalled the appearance of the orphanage over the years, and when she left, she always thought that she would never have a chance to come back, but she came again.

A middle-aged man greeted him and introduced himself as the dean. Ilan smiled at him and asked, "...... the original dean?"

"Oh, Dean Ruth has been out for several years." The male dean said.

Yilan bowed slightly, just a thing is wrong. The group went to the office, on the way, on a wide grass, there were several five or six-year-old children playing, a nanny machine qì person waiting aside, the children's giggling laughter came from afar, but Ilan's heart was filled with lonely coldness, she raised her eyes to the sky, and forced the tears back.

The donation agreement was signed quickly.

"Miss Tong, thank you for your support and help to the Children's Home." The male dean thanked him sincerely.

Ilan shook his head and said, "It's not my donation. Seeing that the dean was still grateful, she diverted the topic and asked, "Can I make a small request?" ”

"Please." The male dean said politely.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to see the room I've stayed in before." Ilan said softly.

"This," said the dean, who seemed a little embarrassed, "the room is already occupied by children. ”

"I'm just looking at it and not moving what's inside, okay?" Ilan pleaded in a low voice.

"Absolutely." The male dean replied with a smile.

The children's rooms are all in one building. The orphanage is quite large, like a garden, with trees and flowers scattered together, Ilan was a little dazed on the road, and only under the guidance of the male dean did he see the building in the shade of trees. Inside, she silently went up to the third floor, to the room at the far end of the hallway. After so many years, she thought that she had forgotten her life in the orphanage, but now she was surprised to find that she still remembered the location of her room so clearly.

"The child is playing outside, Miss Tong can go inside and sit for a while, and we will wait outside." The men's yard opened the door for Ilan empathically.

Ilan nodded at him and Mr. Wen and pushed the door in. The room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy. A small pink coat was placed on the back of the chair, and it seemed that it was also a little girl. There were no furnishings, just a bed and a table and chairs. Ilan stood silently for a moment in the small clearing in the middle of the room, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and then habitually looked out the window. Small wind chimes swayed gently and made a subtle crashing sound. Yilan couldn't help but smile, such an old wind chime hadn't been blown by the wind yet. Outside the window was a large tree, and the branches and leaves at the top of the tree rustled softly from the position of Ilan. Looks like she's grown a little taller, Elan thought to herself.

She sat in a daze for a moment, trance back to the past, where she used to spend time in solitude. It wasn't until someone coughed lightly at the door that she woke up, got up silently, smoothed out her sitting marks, looked back at the empty bed, and somehow, a sour feeling rushed straight to her nose. The male dean outside the door looked at Yilan with some words and said, "Miss Tong......."

Ilan pulled away a smile and said, "Thank you, let's go." ”

Walking downstairs, I met the nanny at the aisle and came back with a few children, they greeted the dean, and then stared at Yilan and Mr. Wen curiously. As the two teams staggered by, Ilan looked back and saw two children also looking back, their eyes shining with hope and loss. Yilan's heart was instantly smashed, she twisted her neck stiffly, and a thought came to her heart, when she had money, she would take 30 million and smash it on the woman and let her transfer it to the orphanage. When she walked to the door of the orphanage, her anger had gradually calmed down, and she scolded herself in her heart, you fool, what are you doing with 30 million, why are you cheap others. After a while, she was deflated, and she didn't want to have 30 million in her life.

After saying goodbye to the male dean at the door, she and Mr. Wen got into the car. Mr. Wen was very reliable, knowing that there were not many flights for Moss, so he arranged a hotel accommodation for her, and booked a return flight that was valid within a few days. He dropped Elan off at the hotel, and he took the same day's flight back.
