Ode to joy

Chapter 217

Everyone said you're welcome, only Qu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just propped her chin and looked at Fan Shengmei and the rest.But Qu Xiaoxiao waited left and right, only to see Fan Shengmei invite everyone to eat the dishes just served, and said: "Sister Fan, I didn't come here to save face, I want to see how you confess to Lao Wang, you are obviously not right, but you are still straightforward Say it."

Andy calmly said to Qu Xiaoxiao: "I didn't arrange this procedure, so don't make trouble."

"Who said there is no arrangement, you didn't see that one is ready to fight, the other is ready to suffer, they are all wound up, they are nervous, and they are all focused on each other, why is it that no one has seen your engagement ring for so long? So The flashing ring, I saw it as soon as I entered the door."

Everyone's eyes fell on Andy's left hand, and Andy simply raised the back of his left hand again. "I probably kept my hands down just now, and Xiaoguan didn't see it. Stop messing around."

"Yeah, why didn't Xiao Guan see it? Xiao Guan...what did you hear when you broke up with Brother Xie?"

Qu Xiaoxiao went straight to what she was most concerned about.But she fluttered her eyelashes a few times, and immediately followed Fan Shengmei, shouting almost simultaneously with Fan Shengmei: "Wow, what a big drill." Of course, Fan Shengmei spoke quite appropriately, but Qu Xiaoxiao was extremely exaggerated.Among the people in the room, the most embarrassing one was Wang Baichuan.But even Wang Baichuan noticed that Guan Juer's expression changed drastically.

Fan Shengmei immediately thought of the letter that Xie Bin handed to Guan Juer.She is deeply aware of Qu Xiaoxiao's ability to expose scars, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "Xiao Qu, what brand is the ring? It doesn't have an obvious logo, so I can't even recognize it. I need your discernment."

Andy said directly to Guan Ju'er: "Don't be fooled by Xiaoqu, she's playing tricks on you."

"How do you know that I'm putting on a ecstasy formation? You're not the roundworm in my stomach."

"A person of your age still has roundworms? I request to be isolated from you."

"You are a roundworm, everyone is isolated from you. The ones that are not isolated are the large intestine, small intestine, and poop, hahaha." Qu Xiaoxiao turned to Guan Juer with a smile, and immediately became serious, "Xiao Guan, you have always suspected me Even if I have confessed to you, you still don’t believe me. I just came in and saw you took Brother Xie’s envelope, and I deliberately tested you to see if you would think me wrong again. As a result, everyone I don’t think it’s anything, it’s just that you are entangled, and you are still worried that I will do something to you and Brother Xie, right? I’m disappointed, it’s none of your business, you won’t lose a catty of meat. But this just shows that you are right Is your brother Xie not confident?"

"When it comes to dating, who doesn't worry about gains and losses? Don't get entangled in such trivial matters. Xiaoguan is inexperienced, so it's okay to worry a little more." Fan Shengmei boldly interrupted.On weekdays, if she could not provoke Qu Xiaoxiao, she would not provoke Qu Xiaoxiao, and would walk in detours, but now she seemed to have the courage for no reason.

Seeing that Guan Juer's face was flushed, Andy resorted to the most direct method, stretching out his hand to cover Qu Xiaoxiao's mouth that was about to open again with a smile. "I know you care about Xiaoguan the most, and you have a lot of heart for her in private. I can prove it for you. Xiaoguan hurts you because of gain and loss. You have grievances. But it's all because of poor communication, and yourself You admitted that you deliberately misled. Well, now that everyone is clear, we don’t care about it, right? Just nod and let you go.”

Qu Xiaoxiao babbled tenaciously under the palm of her hand: "Do you think I can't get rid of your rough hand? I'm just worried about rubbing the ball in your belly."

Andy let go with a smile.Qu Xiaoxiao angrily said to Andy: "You treat Xiaoguan better than me, the more you are like this, the more difficult I am for Xiaoguan."

Only Andy laughed, and the others really had their own ulterior motives and had no intention of laughing.Guan Juer still stood up, held his teacup and said: "Xiao Qu, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't. Please forgive me... I... I was really hit by what you said, I don't have confidence, I am worried that things are too perfect , too perfect to be real."

This time, the people at the table finally unified their expressions: surprised.It was Andy's cell phone that rang, breaking the stagnant surprise, and Andy received a call from Lao Bao.Lao Bao opened his mouth and said: "My son communicated well with me on the phone this afternoon. You have contributed a lot."

"He told me. Both of you are sincere, and I can at most facilitate it. When will you go back? He said he was too busy."

"Let him be busy, young people need to temper. I feel at ease now, and I plan to rest for a few more days, visit some old friends, and play golf."

"it is good."

"Thank you. It's more important for a family to think about each other than anything else. You should be busy. By the way, I ordered a Ferrari for you as a wedding gift. But it is estimated that the car will be my son most of the time. In use, he likes supercars. Haha, see you later.”

When Andy answered the phone, Qu Xiaoxiao jumped over, pressed Guan Juer to sit down, and apologized a few words.Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Guan Juer's bag, thought of the letter in the bag, and felt itchy in her heart, but she didn't dare to mess with it.When she returned to her seat, she found that Andy had quickly finished the phone call. "So fast?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked out of trouble.

Andy just said "hmm", and immediately realized with a turn of his mind, "They have been fooled by them again."

"Why are you looking at me like that? The Bao family and his son? How do you want to fight back? I have a lot of ideas." Qu Xiaoxiao waved her palm in front of Andy. "Really angry?"

"No, I'm having fun. The old one wanted to show affection to the young one, but he couldn't bear face, so he gave me a Ferrari in the name of giving me a wedding present. Tch, when the time comes, the car will be locked up in Haishi, and no one will be able to take it away." Seeing Wang Baichuan's puzzled look, Andy confirmed it again, "It's the Bao family."

Wang Baichuan thought that everyone was on Fan Shengmei's side and would not pay attention to him. Seeing that Andy was full of kindness, he hurriedly said: "Everyone thought that this time there would be a lot of trouble. This is really good, I wish you all the best."

"Communicate more about everything, simplify complex issues, take the initiative to take a step back within a reasonable range and suffer a small loss, and most problems can be solved smoothly. It's no big deal."

Wang Baichuan raised his drinking glass and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I know it."

Andy changed, "I didn't mean to talk about you, I was talking about the Bao family."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said: "You are right. Wang Baichuan, thank you very much for the past six months. Tonight's treat, I need to thank you very much. I am afraid that it will be difficult for two people to talk seriously, especially when I say no in a fit of temper. I came out, so I invited our sisters on the 22nd floor to attend the supervision. In the past six months, you have given me the greatest psychological support. My brother had an accident, my father had a stroke, my brother went to jail, my mother begged, etc., I was there every time When you are most desperate, you can always think of looking for Wang Baichuan, he must be there, and I can leave everything to him. But I didn't think about it for you, why..."

Everyone was shocked, this time even Qu Xiaoxiao put aside her usual disdain for Fan Shengmei, and looked straight at Fan Shengmei.Qu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Fan Shengmei wanted to say in the end, but, in short, it was the truth.Seeing Fan Shengmei burst into tears, she turned her back and stopped talking.Well, the response was not insincere.but why?for the house?Qu Xiaoxiao was always vigilant.

The one who was most shocked was of course Wang Baichuan.He came here taking it for granted, waiting to be criticized by Fan Shengmei in front of the girls on the 22nd floor, until his body was bruised.He didn't expect it at all, he heard the most unexpected, completely unexpected.He was dumb, Fan Shengmei turned around and wiped away tears for a while, before he said: "I...should do it. And every time I don't do it well, I'm sorry. It's because your sisters on the 22nd floor did more, thank them .”

Fan Shengmei calmed down, took out a small mirror to take a look, tidied her hair, and turned back to talk.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, and took the conversation away: "Haha, I thought you had some upper body, but it's okay, you didn't lose your little tricks, it's you. Continue."

Fan Shengmei was a little dumbfounded, but she eased her mood. "Okay, continue. Wang Baichuan, you and I are the same age, the same background, and the same struggle to gain a foothold in Haishi. Why should I ask so much of you, push you to do things that I am already desperate, and order you to do it well? I am satisfied. I only understand now that I took you as a life-saving straw and held on to you. I kidnapped you. I'm sorry. I owe you a huge favor."

"You... You are willing to ask me to do something because you think highly of me."

"No, I can't find anyone else. People are not so easy to find. Everyone likes to add flowers to the cake and don't want to give them away. I never thought I could meet such a table of good people. This is my great blessing. Wang Baichuan, do it for me It caused a lot of trouble, and it also caused trouble for the upper body, and also troubled your parents. I was crazy about you, I'm sorry, I shouldn't use you like this, it's very deformed, I'm sorry."

Wang Baichuan was silent.Andy first turned his face to Qu Xiaoxiao, trying to confirm her guess.Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao also looked at Wang Baichuan with wide eyes.Guan Juer is even worse.Andy couldn't find an answer.There was nothing at the table.After a while, Wang Baichuan said, "I understand..."

"No, don't understand so easily." Qu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to stop Wang Baichuan, "Sister Fan, Lao Wang is my client. Clients are more important than friends. I'm sorry for you. Let me ask you for Lao Wang, what should you do?" Are you looking for an excuse to break up with Lao Wang because of the house or something? Or do you want us to support you, and use retreat as an advance to force Lao Wang to agree to something?"

"Buying a house is not a problem at all. Wang Baichuan was kind to me and prepared to write our names on the contract. But that day, I happened to hand over my ID card to Andy to take back to my hometown for some business. Without the original, I couldn't sign it. Andy can testify. It was my own fault. I didn’t pay a single penny. I couldn’t sign the contract but unreasonably vented my anger on Wang Baichuan. After I came back, I thought about it a lot. After lying down for a day, Xiao Guan could testify. Alas, Wang Baichuan even apologized to me. But Cheng Xiaoguan helped that day, and Xiaoguan suggested how to get married without love. It also made me think a lot. Including going to the hospital to see Xiaoqiu the next day, I was a bystander and saw that Xiaoqiu could throw away everything for marriage, and I thought a lot. Sorry, Wang Bochuan, I have always used you as a straw, but this shouldn’t be. This sick relationship must be ended. My family’s affairs should be borne by myself, and I cannot kidnap you in the name of love. If possible, we can start again in the future , but must start afresh in their own separate stances."

Wang Baichuan blushed, he was obviously not that simple when it came to buying a house.But at this time, he didn't intend to say anything, but facing Fan Shengmei's confession, his face turned red uncontrollably.He stood up and tried to say goodbye with a smart smile, but he couldn't laugh.He looked at Fan Shengmei, and at this moment, Fan Shengmei's eyes were red and her make-up was messy, but Fan Shengmei was very beautiful, and she was more lovable than the standard beauty in the past.But is it his turn to love the independent Fan Shengmei?He stood there, thinking for a long time, before he said "goodbye", turned around and thought of "take care", and left silently.

Everyone turned around dumbfounded, and looked at Fan Shengmei again.Fan Shengmei laughed quickly, but she burst into tears, "Thank you, if you weren't here, I really didn't have the courage to say these words, I'm afraid I'll lean on it again. If there is straw, I always want to indulge myself be lazy."

"Why bother, I said, Sister Fan, you are not young, and our old Wang is also a good old lady, and he really loves you. Think about it, people like Lao Wang are thrown on the market alone, In less than three days, let the woman pounce on me to carve up all the bones, and there will be no bones left, so I can start over without you."

"It's hard to say. The day before yesterday Xiaoqiu said, how do friends compare with family members. For most people, this is true. But unfortunately, I am a very small minority. You have no interest in me at all, but you are much better than family members It's..."

Qu Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Stop it, it's disgusting. If your family is not really bad, you can't set off the tallness of us passers-by. Don't really treat us as friends."

Andy said: "I agree with Xiao Fan's words. I used to have no family, only friends. Now I have buns, but friends are still friends."

"To be honest, I've been thinking for the past two days that my dad's stroke was a turning point in my life. At that time, I began to control my family's financial power. No one in the family has the ability to ask for anything from me. I finally have some accumulation on hand. Said Really, two days ago when I found out that I actually had some savings on hand, I didn’t think about what I’ve lived for all these years and who I’ve lived for. , I look for all kinds of opportunities to make money, and I transfer them to subsidize my family. When did I think of myself? It is a tragedy for me to live. You didn’t look down on me, and you regarded me as a friend and helped me all the time. I really can’t tell How should I thank you. But I really dare not face Wang Baichuan, I am too disgusted, if it were not for your support, I would not have the face to talk to him tonight."

Fan Shengmei wept and choked up while talking, this time the makeup on her face was all blurred, she couldn't even care about it, and said, said, said with great effort.The three people present couldn't help but think of all the tragic scenes of Fan Shengmei in the past six months, those scenes where she was entangled with men.But this time, even Qu Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound, watching Fan Shengmei finish her sentence intermittently, and watching her cry on the table.

Guan Juer's eyes were blurred early, he kept wiping away his tears, and then stretched out his arms to hug Fan Shengmei, wiping Fan Shengmei's tears.Qu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and rolled her eyes towards the ceiling. After rolling her eyes for a while, she put her hands on her eyes and said nothing.Only Andy didn't cry, didn't reach out her hand, she looked at Fan Shengmei silently.She understood why Fan Shengmei left Wang Baichuan.She changed her name and changed her surname to use the English name on her passport as her common name. Isn't it just to prevent her past acquaintances from recognizing her and to avoid all kinds of embarrassing past when she was a child?The day before yesterday, Bao Yifan enthusiastically proposed to hold the most lively wedding, but she vetoed it outright, she didn't want too many people's attention, she was afraid of being recognized in case.But she didn't have the courage of Fan Shengmei, she didn't dare to say anything, she buried everything in her stomach.

A table of dishes is almost completely cold.When Fan Shengmei finally looked up, Guan Juer bravely said to Qu Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Qu, if you know anything about Xiao Xie, please tell me."

"It's a good young man, what are you suspicious of?"

"It's because he is very motivated, and I am not beautiful. With his conditions, he can find a more beautiful girl who is similar to mine. I have long understood the truth that there is no love for no reason. Tell me My reason."

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Andy, seeing Andy also looked at her, she really wanted to ask Andy, Xie Bin's reluctance to chase after more beautiful girls, is it the psychological shadow left by his beautiful mother's unbearable past.But Qu Xiaoxiao quickly acted as if nothing had happened, and asked Andy smoothly: "Is this a reason? Listen."

Andy said to Guan Juer: "Xiaoguan, you are a very good girl, don't underestimate yourself. Although you are not beautiful, you are attractive, and the more you look, the cuter you are."

"I'm not underestimating myself. I realized from a young age that girls are not beautiful and have no future. I am seeking truth from facts."

Qu Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, I will ask for you. But there are conditions, no matter what, you can't tell Brother Xie, otherwise I will be demolished by him."

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know. If you don't believe me, you can ask Andy. During the few days when I was on a business trip, she called and checked the post every few minutes, saying that I was not allowed to hurt you. Am I that kind of person? I'm so jealous, Andy treats you much better than me .”

Andy didn't make a sound, and still didn't make a sound when he heard this, just smiled at Guan Juer.But Guan Juer felt relieved. "Xiao Qu, then there's no need to check. Even if there is something, I don't want to know. Of course, it must be nothing. It must be that I am not confident enough and suspicious."

Qu Xiaoxiao screamed: "Fuck, molesting my old lady, sometimes you say check, and sometimes you say no, how many times are you doing? You swear to me in front of everyone biting your finger and writing a bloody book, and you will never go back on your word in the future. You Being a friend is 24 filial."

Guan Juer looked very embarrassed, but smiled, "I... I'm sorry. Sister Fan said, I really worry about gain and loss. I give you a hug, bear hug."

"Oh, don't. That's Xiaoqiu's work." Qu Xiaoxiao jumped out to call the waiter, and gave a tip to bring some dishes out to warm up.
