Charlie responded, “We’ve just reached the airport, and we’re going to start checking in right away.”
“That’s wonderful!” the captain said. “We don’t need to disembark; we’ll just wait for you on the ne.”
Charlie confirmed, “Exactly, just stay on the ne; we’ll be there shortly.”
After replying to Lisa’s message, Charlie added, “The ne has alreadynded; let’s get through the formalities as quickly as possible.”
Then, he turned to Fei Kexin and said, “Miss Fei, once we pass through security, you’ll be out of customs, so there’s no need to linger. Let’s head back quickly.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Fei Kexin felt a bit reluctant but smiled and replied, “Master Wade, ire, Aunt, have a great trip. I won’t see you off.”
ine suddenly eximed, “Oh, I heard someone say that you can’t fly with the wind; otherwise, the ne will crash! I don’t know if that’s true.”
Charlie chuckled and replied, “Mom, don’t pay attention to that nonsense. A ne actually needs to take off against the wind. Once it’s in the air, flying with a tailwind can make it arrive faster. What could take 10 hours might only take 8 hours if the wind is favorable.”
“Is that so…” ine mused. “Last time I went to America, Souna asked my circle of friends to wish me a smooth journey, but I was frustrated with her all the way. It seems I wrongly med her.”
Charlieughed, and soon after, Oscar and ire prepared to go through security together.
After bidding farewell to Fei Kexin, the three of them proceeded through security and customs, heading directly to the ne from the parking stand outside the VIP building.
Since ine had some mobility issues, the airport arranged for two staff members to assist her along the way.<fnaec1> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? FindN0vel</fnaec1>
On the ne, Mrs. Lewis, Lisa, and udia noticed Charlie boarding and quickly stood up to greet him. Lisa and udia, in particr, called out shyly in unison, “Brother Charlie!”
Charlie beamed at them and asked, “How are you both doing?”
“We’re doing well,” Lisa replied with a smile. “We’ve been so excited thinking about returning to Aurous Hill. We talk about it every night!”
Charlie nodded, looking at udia. “udia, since it’s still summer vacation, you’ll have time to adjust once you arrive in Aurous Hill. Lisa will show you around and help you get familiar with the local culture.”
udia nodded earnestly, saying, “Okay, Brother Charlie, thank you…”
Lisa chimed in, “Brother Charlie, don’t forget that udia’s mother is from Aurous Hill. In fact, it’s her grandma’s hometown.”
Charlie smiled and asked, “Really? Do you have any rtives in Aurous Hill?”
“No,” udia shook her head. “Both my grandparents have passed away, and my uncle lives abroad. I haven’t kept in touch with him, so this year I have basically no rtives left. The few distant rtives I have are people I barely know and couldn’t even pronounce their names.”
Charlie reassured her, “That’s alright! You have Mrs. Lewis, Lisa, and me. We’re all your family.”
udia felt touched and nodded sincerely.
At that moment, Charlie introduced his mother-inw to Mrs. Lewis. “By the way, Mrs. Lewis, let me introduce my mother-inw to you.”
As he gestured towards ine, he said, “Mom, this is Mrs. Lewis from the orphanage. You must have heard of her.”
ine eximed, “I have, I have! I used to hear Charlie talk about you all the time!” As she spoke, she recalled the time when Mrs. Xiao celebrated her birthday, and Charlie had asked to lend a million for Mrs. Lewis’s medical treatment. At that moment, she had been quite critical of Charlie for what she considered poor judgment. Who would have guessed that he would be such a sessful son-inw?
Reflecting on this, she quickly told Mrs. Lewis, “Oh, it was really tough for Charlie to help with your medical needs, and our family did everything we could to assist…”
