Chapter 60

59 Decisive personality is hereditary

Just as Leon was hesitating whether to move to Happiness Apartment, the baby-faced girl on the side was peeking at his tightly locked brow, a look of contemplation appearing in her watery eyes.

Mr. Leon... is really a very good person!

He started earning money in his teens, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work, struggling to support a small family. After reaching the standard age, he successfully joined the Police Bureau and found a decent job that could support his younger siblings.

And although he has always been short of money, during the gas pipeline explosion, when faced with compensation that could be obtained with a nod, he could refuse without hesitation. This time after being smashed and injured, he still didn't want compensation, only thinking about finding a school for his younger siblings.

Also, yesterday when he was smashed unconscious at the shopping plaza, Mr. Leon was clearly only wearing a tattered old coat, but beside him were only clothes bought for his younger siblings, and he didn't think about changing one for himself at all...

Gently rubbing the back of her own smooth hand, recalling the rough touch of the calluses, and seemingly seeing the shadow of someone on Leon, a trace of faint closeness and appreciation suddenly appeared in the baby-faced girl's eyes.

Except for not having such precise business acumen, Mr. Leon is really like my father back then.

Loving his family just as much, working hard every day just the same, insisting on not giving up no matter how hard it is just the same, and being able to hold his bottom line when facing temptation just the same... um... the only thing not so good is that he is a bit too young, several years younger than me...

Decided! Move!

After pondering for a long time, considering that the area around Veteran's Alley is full of prisons and factories, the environment is really too poor, and it is too hard for the two children to walk more than ten kilometers to school every day, Leon finally made up his mind to move the whole family to Happiness Apartment.

As for what to do about that old man with the big scissors...

Feeling that the old lady who loves knitting seems to be able to communicate, I can try to talk to her, explain that I am not a bad person, and see if I can persuade her husband not to do anything.

If that still doesn't work, I will use the excuse of being busy with work to live in the Cleaning Bureau for a while first. Anyway, the children's schooling cannot wait any longer.

If William and the others enroll now and ask the middle-aged nurse's husband to take more care of them, they can almost keep up. If it drags on, they won't be able to keep up with the curriculum, and then it will really only be possible to wait until next year.

After making the final decision, Leon turned to look at the baby-faced girl who was lost in thought, thought for a moment, and asked politely:

"That... sorry, I forgot to ask before, what should I call you?"

"Ah?"

The baby-faced girl who came back to her senses blushed, subconsciously reached out to block her swollen eyes, and then lowered her head slightly and said:

"Amy, just call me Amy!"

"Okay, Miss Amy."

After noting down the name of this woman who cried every time they met, Leon nodded and said:

"I have already chosen. Please help my younger brother and sister enroll in Bridgehead Public School! Thank you for your help!"

"Ah, you're welcome, you're welcome, this is what I... we should do!"

Secretly glancing at the hospital room window, wanting to see what she looked like now, but only seeing an ugly woman with swollen eyes, the baby-faced girl couldn't help but panic in her heart and hurriedly turned her head:

"That... Mr. Leon, our company happens to have a few properties on Bridgehead Street, how about..."

"Cough, cough... there's really no need for this."

Fearing that she would say something like "compensate you with a house" again, which would torture his bottom line that was already loosening crazily, Leon hurriedly waved his hand to refuse:

"I have been to Bridgehead Street, know an apartment with a pretty good environment, and it is very close to Bridgehead Public School. I have already decided to move there just now, so there is no need to trouble you with this matter!"

"Ah? Okay..."

Failing to give away the house,

the baby-faced girl seemed a bit disappointed. After biting her lip, she tentatively asked:

"That... Mr. Leon, are you willing to tell me where you are planning to move? Um... don't misunderstand!"

Catching a glimpse of Leon's surprised look, the baby-faced girl hurriedly waved her hand, straightened her back, and explained with a serious face:

"I don't want to disturb you, it's just... er... I might be arranged to work at a company near Bridgehead Street recently, and I happen to be planning to rent an apartment too.

But I'm not very familiar with that area and don't know which apartment is better. I heard you say just now that you know a reliable apartment, so I wanted to ask you the name of that apartment."

"I see."

After hearing the baby-faced girl's explanation, a flash of realization crossed Leon's eyes, and then he smiled and nodded:

"That apartment is called Happiness Apartment, the address is number thirty-five on Bridgehead Street. It was converted from a privately operated poorhouse, and it's the one with a three-meter-wide small garden in front of the building.

I visited there once before, the residents inside are all good people, and they are very enthusiastic when treating others... um... it's just that sometimes they are a bit too enthusiastic..."

Happiness Apartment... that's really a good name... um... I feel that if I move in, I should be able to gain happiness easily~

Not knowing that Leon's so-called enthusiasm was being chased from the fifth floor to the first floor by someone holding big scissors, almost being cut in two with a "snap".

After firmly noting down the name and address of Happiness Apartment, the baby-faced girl gripped her sweaty palms, stared at Leon, smiled, and nodded repeatedly:

"Enthusiasm is good! I am a person who likes liveliness very much, and what I like most is enthusiastic neighbors! Thank you for your recommendation, I will go take a look there in a while!"

"You're welcome, I just mentioned a name,"

Because his impression of the baby-faced girl was quite good, and she had just done him a huge favor, considering that her dress didn't look like someone short of money and she might not like the relatively dilapidated Happiness Apartment, Leon thought for a moment and added an extra instruction:

"By the way, although the other conditions of that apartment are very good and the rent is very low, it is already an old building, and the exterior walls and interior decoration are a bit old.

But you can rest assured, although this building is old, it is absolutely sturdy. The residents inside and the two managers are all very reliable. Even if a single girl moves in alone, it is very safe. It would be a real pity if you missed it."

"Mm-hmm!"

Looking at Leon, who seemed to want her to move in too, the baby-faced girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded happily:

"That's great! If I really move there in the end, I must thank you properly then, you must not refuse!"

"Haha, okay!"

After making up her mind to move there and be neighbors with Leon, the baby-faced girl turned her head as if unintentionally, first looked at the broom leaning against the corner, then glanced at the shopping bag that was slightly exposed under the hospital bed, smiled, and said goodbye:

"Mr. Leon, I'm not only going to look at the house in a while, but also going to help your younger brother and sister with enrollment, so I won't disturb your rest today, see you another day!"
