Ode to joy

Chapter 184

Andy quickly ate a bowl of noodles as usual, but frowned while eating, trying to suppress the convulsions in his stomach.The small bowl in front of Qu Xiaoxiao made her tasteless, such cloudy noodle soup, ambiguous and suspicious ingredients, and bland taste were not her cup of tea.Seeing Andy coming in and out and getting ready to go out, she didn't come to comfort her. She lay on the island in the kitchen and muttered, "Where are you going, can I follow?"

Andy was going to see his younger brother. He was going to go yesterday, but was delayed by something, so he could only postpone it until today. I don't know how much his younger brother can adapt after two days.Of course she would not let Qu Xiaoxiao follow her. "It's business, you can't follow."

"I'll drive you, and when I get you there, I'll sleep in the parking lot and wait for you. Okay?"

"You can go home. You can also find your classmates and friends."

"They always mentioned Dr. Zhao to me. When my parents met, they asked me when I would bring Dr. Zhao home for dinner. My friends already knew about the fight between Dr. Zhao and Yao Bin, but they couldn't find me to ask. Only You're the best, nothing to do with yourself, no nonsense. It's okay to close it, I want to mention it but I can't bear it. Of course I want to follow you. "

Andy froze for a moment, he didn't expect that she was such a person in Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes.Also, she is a person who doesn't like to interfere with others, and doesn't let others interfere. "Why don't you go find Xiaoguan?"

"No, Guan Guan doesn't dare to talk to me now, for fear that Qiu Yingying will think she is with me and make her look bad. I have to follow you."

"Is there such a thing? Nonsense. You go to Guan Guan. I'm leaving. If you don't leave, I have no choice but to lock you at home."

"Why am I talking nonsense, I got mixed up like Qiu Yingying in elementary school and junior high school. If you are nice to me, you can't be nice to my deadly enemy. The reason is so simple. Well, if you don't let me follow, I will go to work in the company Son."

"now it's right."

But Qu Xiaoxiao was relieved when she saw that Andy was a little abnormal, and she was suspicious, but she didn't want to go anywhere. "Then shall I do a good deed to accumulate virtue?"

"Usually if you say that, I think you're going to do something bad again."

"Hahaha, I knew you knew me best, and smart people understand smart people." Qu Xiaoxiao stuck to Andy's side waiting for the elevator, staring at the door of 2202, laughing loudly on purpose.

Andy didn't know that Qu Xiaoxiao had already done something bad while talking and laughing, and made Qiu Yingying, who was lonely in the room, half dead.

She followed Qu Xiaoxiao down to the first floor, thinking that Qu Xiaoxiao was going to do something bad, but she saw Qu Xiaoxiao seriously negotiating with the security guard on the first floor, protesting that they let Sister-in-law Fan go upstairs.Qu Xiaoxiao said that she had a video of an almost fight with the residents of 2201 captured by the door monitor. If she let someone go upstairs again, she would use the video to report to the property management.The security guard quickly promised not to favoritism again.But the security guard also muttered on the spot, the last time he obeyed the rules and didn't let anyone in, almost killed someone, Fan Shengmei went to the property to make trouble.This time, the Internet has been lenient. The neighbors came to make troubles, making their security guards at a loss. Will Fan Shengmei come back and make troubles not to let her relatives in?Qu Xiaoxiao said decisively, of course it is to listen to the owner and ignore the tenant.

Andy felt relieved, just as she was about to slip away, Qu Xiaoxiao clung to her again, begging to follow her because of her good deeds, otherwise she would explode in loneliness.Andy really couldn't soften his heart on this matter, so he could only harden his heart and tear off Qu Xiaoxiao's pale little hand on the sleeve.Along the way, I felt extremely guilty, as if I owed Qu Xiaoxiao a lot of favors.Qu Xiaoxiao reluctantly went to work in the office.People say that they are frustrated in love and proud in the casino, which shows that a person's energy is limited, and he cares about one - loses the other.

After Andy got into the car, he had time to call Bao Yifan to express his condolences.Bao Yifan told Andy helplessly: "My dad just made a shocking debut and brought a large number of his buddies. Of course, the people on my mother's side quit, and now it's a confrontation. The funeral has become a mess. "

"Your father, under the banner of handing over the property to you, sealed all bank accounts, and the money can only go in and out. Does your mother's family have time and strength to make trouble if they have no money?"

"I have to admit that he is scheming. Just because he agreed to hand over all the assets to me, you say, I can still support my mother's family and let the people of my mother's family make trouble? I am still toosimple, sometimes*****. He made all the arrangements before making his debut. He wasn't afraid that I would die from exhaustion at all."

"Yesterday he hinted to me, let me advise you not to interfere, he will arrange everything and let you relax."

"He once promised his mother like this. I miss the good days before the high school dormitory. At that time, the family didn't have much money. The two of them hardly had time at home during the day. But no matter how busy they were, the family was of one mind. Now , Even my son can't be with them anymore. Can't you talk well? You have to hint, hint. Does he want to drag you into the water?"

"I declared early in the morning that I would not meddle in other people's affairs, nor would I let others meddle in my affairs."

"When I was young, I thought that being kind to me was the most precious thing, but now I realize that people with a clear, simple and firm stand are the most precious. Andy, don't worry about my affairs here. My advantage is that I stay out of the situation , you can see it more clearly. My shortcoming is that I can't bear it, and I can't do some things. Otherwise, I will win the fight between the two factions, and I will reap the benefits. Alas, what is the world, I can't concentrate on burying my old lady .”

"Well. I'm going to see if my brother is adapting well. I'm not tired after sleeping. You can also rest when you have time."

"Are you reminding me that if I can't bear it, I will cause more trouble?"

"No, don't worry, I don't care about your family's business. I'm indeed on my way to the nursing home. I'll send you a photo if you don't believe me."

"Oh, look, I'm very nervous. These two days when they talked to me, there were several meanings lurking behind one sentence, and I got a headache. It's a common problem in family businesses, with confusing roles and responsibilities. Sigh. I still have several headaches. God, your ears will be trash cans for a few more days. Don't be mad at me."

"You take care of yourself these few days. I have nothing here, and I won't be angry. Even if I am angry, I will tell you directly. You don't have to guess. I'll come out from my brother and call you later."

"Are you wearing headphones?"

"Yeah, can you hear me?"

"No. Since you are talking on the phone with your earphones on, please stay with me for a while longer. I am so bored that I don't want to go out to see them. Everyone who comes here has a dark heart. I miss you more and more. Simple, beautiful, smart, etc., etc., I want to see you!"

Andy found that she had a strong reaction to morning sickness. It turns out that love words can be so disgusting. It must be that the child in her stomach is disgusted. She couldn't help laughing.

Fan Shengmei was listless this weekend.Before dinner, she resolutely said goodbye to Wang Baichuan. She needed a separate space to think quietly, instead of listening to Wang Baichuan say that I will support you no matter what you decide.But she didn't dare to go home rashly, so she called Guan Juer first, but Guan Juer said she was outside.She could only ask Qiu Yingying if her brother and sister-in-law were still outside the door.Qiu Yingying finally found something to do, so she hurriedly went around and told Fan Shengmei that everything was safe.By the way, there seems to be some trouble when Mrs. Fan knocks on the door of 2201 in the morning.

Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes when she heard this, she knew that they had nothing to rely on in their life now, so they must come out to find her and rely on her instead of thinking about finding a job first and relying on a job.

But Fan Shengmei was obviously not very relieved of Qiu Yingying's inspection, she hesitated for a long time, and got through Andy's cell phone.

She guessed that Andy was at home today, and he had nowhere to go on weekends.

Andy is sitting next to his brother.She brought some food with simple packaging and a computer with big characters and a big screen. She didn't know how to communicate with her brother. , of course not looking at her.She sat with her brother for a while, asked a few questions and didn't answer, so she became bored first, took apart the computer and snacks, and enjoyed them first.The most primitive and simple attraction is the deadliest, the aroma of food immediately wakes up my brother.With the temptation of food, Andy slowly induced his younger brother to play the number game.It was a game she had played alone in the corner when she was a child. She invented it herself, and after playing it, it changed ever-changingly and was unfathomable.She led her younger brother to play this game as well, developing the rules of connection between numbers.Of course, it is impossible for her younger brother to have her savvy, nor her mental arithmetic ability, but she is very satisfied if her younger brother is willing to play with her.She patiently played with her younger brother all afternoon, until Fan Shengmei called to apologize for what happened to her brother-in-law in the morning.

"I have no problem here, they are all sent by Xiaoqu. Xiaoqu happened to be at my house when they knocked on the door. And Xiaoqu helped you go down to negotiate with the security guards. After that, the security guards will never let anyone go upstairs. You just need to take a car from the underground. In and out of the garage, nothing happened."

"Xiao Qu? What else did she do?"

"She told me not to tell you that it's more headache for you to be close to her than to annoy her and hate her."

After hearing this, Fan Shengmei couldn't breathe for a while.Andy smiled and said: "The child is rebellious, don't worry about it. She is upset today and has thorns all over her body. You'd better ignore her. This is my advice."

Fan Shengmei hurriedly said: "Thank you and Xiaoqu. I heard that the Bao family..."

"Well, Baozi is very busy, I won't join in the fun. Is there anything else? I'm talking to someone here."

Fan Shengmei still had a lot to say, but she stopped.She wanted to know what was going on with her elder brother and sister-in-law, but she couldn't ask Qu Xiaoxiao, Qiu Yingying if she was unreliable, and Xiao Xiaoguan who couldn't let go of her figure. She really wanted to know more so that she could avoid it better.But she also knew in her heart that avoidance was unavoidable, and there was bound to be a battle between her and her brother who had sold the house and had nowhere to go.

Seeing that she had finally finished her consultation, Wang Baichuan said, "Since everyone has handled it well for you, why don't you go back after dinner."

"I still want to go back while it's still light and see if they'll be waiting around."

"What does it matter if you see them or not? Anyway, starting tomorrow, I will pick you up and take you to and from get off work, and I won't let them see them until they are guaranteed to return to their hometown. On the contrary, if you go back now, there is a possibility that they will see you from the car window."

Fan Shengmei waved her hands irritably, "Go back, go back, I don't feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes. Alas, the time to come came earlier."

Wang Baichuan had no choice but to send Fan Shengmei back to Ode to Joy. "Didn't I tell you that I have entrusted my buddies to pay attention to the situation of your brother and sister-in-law returning home. You don't have to worry too much. They have no money, where can they go?"

"You really don't know, those who have no money are the most vicious, do you know that they are extremely vicious? Do you know that people are poor and short-sighted? I'm afraid they can do anything shameless. Fortunately, there are only two of them here today. If they Come here behind my father's back, I will be forced out by them to meet me no matter what."

Wang Baichuan was so short of breath when he was questioned, he dared not speak at once, lest he say something stupid.Seeing that she was getting closer to home, Fan Shengmei quickly hid behind the filmed car window and searched outside nervously.As expected, she saw that her sister-in-law looked like a beggar, and she was indeed doing the same thing as a beggar, begging for money.And there was no doubt that her brother must be nearby, but she hadn't found it.

Fan Shengmei really wanted to scream in anger, but with Wang Baichuan beside her, she had to maintain her image, so she could only keep her face livid, bit her lips tightly and kept silent, lest she screamed at the first opening.When she got to the basement, the car stopped and she jumped off.Wang Baichuan shouted from behind: "I'll wait here at seven o'clock tomorrow?"

Fan Shengmei didn't dare to turn her head, and only made an "OK" gesture.Go straight to the elevator.Wang Baichuan was displeased, stared blankly at Fan Shengmei for a while, said nothing, and drove away.And Fan Shengmei wanted to scream as soon as she entered the elevator, but she was not as presumptuous as Qu Xiaoxiao. In the end, she could only cough so hard that people coming in from the first floor avoided her far away.

Fan Shengmei just opened the door, only to see Qiu Yingying flying out, pulling her to the door of 2201, very lightly, like a mosquito screaming, telling her: "Xiao Guan went out on a date happily in the morning, and just came back with a dark face. We Be careful."

Fan Shengmei sighed, nodded, and entered with a heavy face.Qiu Yingying didn't doubt that she had it, she admired Sister Fan's heavy expression, seeing how grateful Guan Juer was for their empathy, she quickly put on a heavy expression, and followed Fan Shengmei into the room.

The low pressure in 2202 lasted until April.

Going to work on April 4, Guan Juer received a bouquet of small blue lotus flowers and a small gift box from the service desk as soon as she went up.Colleagues smiled knowingly when they saw it, and there were three words behind that smile, "April Fool's Day".

There was a fat letter on the gift box, when Guan Juer opened it, he saw that what he took out was a beautifully folded crab, his heart skipped a beat, knowing who gave the gift.She took several deep breaths before she dared to read the writing on the crab.But after turning it over and over again, it was just a snow-white crab without any words.After turning it over several times, I thought of uncovering the crab cover.Sure enough, the word is in the crab cover.It was done in a wonderful way.

"Dare to send flowers, I miss you. If you don't want to accept it, please open the box, take out the crab cakes (referred to as crab cakes) and bite them hard. Then, please treat them as an April Fool's joke and laugh them off. I wish you a happy day. Xie Bin on."

Guan Juer was almost heartbroken, he was out of work all day, and felt so sorry for Xie Bin, but Xie Bin was still so good.She took out her mobile phone from the drawer many times, but she didn't know how to reply, and put it back again.I kept tossing until I got off work, and then worked overtime.I was exhausted when I came home, and I just felt that it was good to have a job, and I could plunge into it and be a legitimate ostrich.

It's also April Fool's Day.When Qiu Yingying went to work, she received a text message from Ying Qin, five simple words, "Happy April Fool's Day".Is there such a happy April Fool's Day wish?Obviously no brainer.But Qiu Yingying was still very happy because Ying Qin missed her.

Fan Shengmei also received a bouquet of flowers at work.Very beautiful flowers of unknown origin, small and delicate bouquets.Fan Shengmei has collected so many flowers since she was a child, but she has never seen this kind of flowers.Unexpectedly, Chen Jiakang had another heart.What he wrote on the card was: I don't know what reason to send flowers, today is also a holiday.smile.

Sure enough, Fan Shengmei laughed happily several times, and she laughed all day long.

But a text message came near the end of get off work, so that Fan Shengmei couldn't laugh anymore.It was a text message from Wang Baichuan, "Your brother and sister-in-law threw your father and a pack of medicine at my house and left. Please call me quickly." It must be a text message from April Fool's Day.Fan Shengmei thought.But I also know that even if Wang Baichuan is drunk, he will not make up such a knife joke to wish her a happy April Fool's Day.She was full of panic, and finally found an opportunity to hide in the toilet and call Wang Baichuan.Wang Baichuan said that his parents were furious at home.But he didn't dare to move, he was afraid that someone would die in Wang's house, let alone tell.

Fan Shengmei was dumbfounded, her brother really did something vicious, forcing her to show up to deal with it, unable to just sit back and watch.She was completely unable to work, so she managed to get off work and hurried to Wang Baichuan's office.But Wang Baichuan was having a meeting behind closed doors, so she could only sit and wait, fidgeting, but she dared not call home.

After a while, Wang Baichuan finally came out, but Wang Baichuan couldn't help but glance at the bouquet in Fan Shengmei's hand before saying: "Let's go out and talk. Wait for me to clean up."

Only then did Fan Shengmei realize that she accidentally brought out the bouquet.She looked at the beautiful flowers, then at the trash can next to her, and then raised her head to watch Wang Baichuan tidy up.There is no ghost in my heart, what are I afraid of.The two of them got into the car and asked almost in unison: "What should I do?"

Fan Shengmei continued: "I don't dare to call home, they are obviously not afraid of my dad having an accident, but your parents are afraid of it. Could it be that my mother just watches them two mess around?"

"It's not nonsense, it's pure viciousness. You said, my parents don't know how to feed and take medicine. Even if you don't torment your father, your father will soon have problems."

"Don't make such a tone, is it useful to blame me? They are forcing me, and you come and yell at me, come and force me, okay!"
