My Billionaire Husband (Vivian and Morris) novel Chapter 105

Vivian disliked the picture and wanted to delete it, but the next moment it was snatched away by Morris, "Let it be, I'll take the picture for you."

He took the phone away and left Vivian alone to take a picture of herself.

Then he showed the pictures to Vivian, and she nodded in satisfaction, but flipped through the album and asked, "Where's the first one?"

"Deleted."

The man walked ahead, carrying his umbrella, and spoke carelessly.

"Fine, it's not pretty anyway."

Vivian muttered, and then set the picture that Morris had taken as her phone's screensaver.

......

During the night, lightning flashed and a rainstorm poured down.

Vivian lay in bed without any sleepiness and stayed up until five in the morning.

"Vivian, Vivian, something's wrong, get up, get up."

At some point, Vivian, who was dreaming, was nudged by Yeon. She woke up, asking in a daze, "What's wrong?"

When she opened her eyes, she saw Yeon's worried and anxious look.

"The rainstorm was so heavy that a mudslide occurred and collapsed the school halfway up the mountain. The few children who went to the school in the morning are still inside with their teachers. The village summoned people to rescue them, and asked us to inform the people of Guolou Village to evacuate."

Because Dongpu Village is between two mountains, and the distance between the mountains is so wide that even a mudslide will not have any effect on it.

However, Guolou Village is close to the foot of the mountain, and if a mudslide were to occur, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Mudslide?"

Vivian's heart thumped and she was so frightened that she sat up straight from the bed, "How could this happen?"

"Yeah, I'm scared to death. Several of the volunteers want to leave, but the storm is so bad now that they couldn't leave."

Yeon was equally anxious.

She was pampered.

On this trip to Liangchuan County, she came here to experience another kind of life for she was tired of the life in city.

But she never expected to encounter a mudslide.

Vivian instantly got up, changed her clothes, and walked out of the house with Yeon.

Standing under the eaves, looking outside the heavy rain, they felt as if the sky cracked open with water flowing out, which was quiet worrying.

"Where are Morris and the others, have they gone to school?"

Vivian asked, worried about the school situation.

"Yes, they are there now."

"Then let's hurry to Dongpu Village, or it will be bad if we are late." Vivian said to Yeon.

The two walked out of the courtyard together, stepping on the mud-filled road, without time to take into account the instantly soaked shoes, but accelerated towards Guolou Village.

"Yeon, Yeon? Yeon, stop right there!"

The two hadn't gone very far and a voice rang out behind them.

When the two of them turned around at the sound of the voice, they saw Quintel walking towards them wearing a raincoat, pointed at Yeon and said angrily, "It's raining so heavily, what are you doing?"

"Dad, the village chief asked Vivian and I to go and inform the villagers of Guolou Village to evacuate. Do you want to come with us?"

The rain was heavy, crackling on the umbrellas, and the cacophony was so loud that they spoke by yelling out as hard as they could to be heard by each other.

"I know you were going to Guolou Village, but it's too dangerous there, you come back with me!"

Quintel tugged Yeon's arm, "It's enough for her to go alone, you go back with me!"

"Dad, let go of me, I want to go with Vivian. Otherwise it's dangerous for her to be alone!"

Yeon, who usually looked unreliable, had Vivian at heart and was unwilling to risk her going to Guolou Village alone, adding, "There are many people over there, it's dangerous if we're late, how can you be so selfish?"

Even though Quintel was worrying about Yeon, Yeon was kind-hearted and was naturally worried about Guolou Village who didn't know the situation.

"What are you fooling around with? I only have you as a daughter, if anything happens to you, how will I explain to your mother? Come back with me!"

Quintel angrily scolded Yeon and dragged her back hard.

Yeon kept struggling and looked back at Vivian, yelling, "Vivian, come and help me."

"You'd better go back with your dad."

Vivian shook her head, not intending to take Yeon with her to Guolou Village.

A weak rich girl to follow her would only to slow her down.

Not to mention that Vivian was very supportive of Quintel's approach.

She held up her umbrella and quickly headed towards Guolou Village, only to see the masked man walking towards her with his umbrella just as she reached the entrance of the village, "You're going to Guolou Village?"

The masked man asked her as he hunched over his back.

"The school on the mountain was destroyed by a mudslide, and the village chief told us to hurry and inform the people of Guolou Village."

"I'll go with you."

The masked man said very proactively.

In that instant, Vivian frowned slightly and shook her head to refuse, "You're not well, and you walk very slowly, so it's better to rest at home. It's easier for me to go to Guolou Village by myself."

"The households living in Guolou Village are scattered, how can you notify them alone?" He reminded.

At this, Vivian had to say, "Then be careful, I'll go first and inform them at the east end of Guolou Village, you can go directly to the west end of Guolou Village."

In the mountains, there is no signal and they have to notify the villagers personally of dangerous situations or they don't know what they will face.

"Okay."

The masked man nodded.

The two of them held their umbrellas and made their way towards Guolou Village.

Originally, she thought the masked man would walk slowly with his cane, but instead she found that no matter how fast she was going, the masked man could keep up.

Gradually, she put on her defenses abruptly against the masked man.

This man got something.

Two people walked quickly towards Guolou Village, surrounded by heavy rain pouring down, everything looked like hidden, not so clear.

And an aqueduct before them was full of murky water, raging down and flowing with abandon.

Over the aqueduct was a simple wooden bridge, so narrow that only one person could fit across.

Vivian looked at the wooden bridge, hesitated for a moment, looked back at the masked man and said loudly, "You go first, the water under the bridge is too fierce, it's almost over the bridge, I don't feel at eased with you behind me."

Her voice was loud, as if she was afraid the masked man might not hear her.

The masked man with a cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other watched the raging waters and lapping against the wooden bridge, he nodded, "Okay, I'll go over first."

He walked around Vivian and took one step towards the bridge.

As she watched him walk calmly onto the bridge, all unharmed, Vivian doubted herself, could it be that she hadn't slept well lately that made her suspicious?
