Chapter 3220 — The Old Director Isn't In?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"By the way, where's the old director?" Wei Zhao looked around and found that apart from Xiaoken, the old director was nowhere to be seen. By rights, for a matter this important, the old director ought to show herself for propriety's sake. After all, Xu Shilan and Chen Yiyi were big stars, and they had come to help the orphanage—as the orphanage's old director, she could hardly avoid meeting them.
"The old director isn't feeling well, so she's resting in her room." Yu Xiaoke was in fact somewhat puzzled as to why the old director had not appeared. Earlier the old director had been somewhat opposed to this concert and charity drive, though no one knew why, and now, on a day this important, the old director had suddenly pleaded illness, leaving Yu Xiaoke rather helpless.
"Oh? What's wrong with the old director? Should I go and take a look?" Wei Zhao asked, slightly alarmed and rather concerned.
"I don't know either... How about we go and see?" Yu Xiaoke was also wondering what was wrong with the old director, and since Wei Zhao was a doctor, having him take a look would be a good thing.
"Then let's go." Wei Zhao waved toward the business van behind them, signaling Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi to get out. The two of them were stars, and after arriving at the orphanage they had not gotten out directly, planning to ride straight to the auditorium and gymnasium for rehearsal. After all, much of the orphanage was under construction at the moment with many outsiders about, and if the two stars appeared rashly, the workers would crowd around and cause no end of unnecessary trouble. "Xiaohan, we're going to see the old director. Are you heading straight to rehearsal, or coming with me? If you're going straight there, have Xiaoken go with you; if not, we'll go see the old director together. She's ill, and I'm going to have a look at her."
"Then we'll come with you to see the old director," Xu Shilan said. Kind-hearted as she was, upon hearing that the orphanage's old director had fallen ill, she naturally had to go and see her now that she knew.
So Wei Zhao took Yu Xiaoke and Xiaoken into the business van. This was the van Feng Sanmang drove, and it was very spacious; with Yu Xiaoke and Xiaoken aboard, it did not feel crowded at all.
The orphanage had changed so much that Wei Zhao hardly recognized it. Xiaoken had to point the way from the front, and Feng Sanmang wound this way and that before pulling up in front of a dormitory building. Wei Zhao had been to this dormitory before, but the structure had changed a great deal.
The group got out of the van, entered the dormitory, and came to the door of the old director's room.
Yu Xiaoke knocked, and the old director's voice came promptly from inside: "Who is it? Is that Xiaoke?"
"It's me, Master," Yu Xiaoke said.
The old director opened the door without thinking, only to find Wei Zhao and the whole group standing at the doorway. By now it was hardly practical to shut the door again. Though somewhat resigned, she had no choice but to say, "Mr. Wei Zhao, you've come. And these two must be the great stars Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi? This old body is unwell and did not go out to welcome you in person. I beg your forgiveness, and ask that you bear with me."
