Chapter 84: Wei Wei Leaves

~18 min read 3,542 words

The rising morning sun dispelled the mist lingering in the morning. The crying of energetic children, the shouts of worried elderly, the greetings of familiar neighbors downstairs, and the cars driving out of the basement from time to time. The silent Ode to Joy became bustling, with fireworks rising; it was another good day.

Wang Yan opened his eyes on time, looked at Andy sleeping soundly in his arms, and smiled faintly.

It was also Andy's first time in thirty-some years, and she had no experience. And because it was the first time, he couldn't toss her too hard, lest she not feel the pleasure but get hurt instead, which wouldn't be beautiful.

Speaking of this issue of being original or not, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of Ying Qin, who later dated Qiu Yingying. It was reasonable for people to have requirements in choosing a spouse, and there was nothing to criticize.

It was just that Wang Yan couldn't help but think of himself back then. He had once had this idea, to find a pure, loving person to walk a journey with. He had once been a pure boy and had this kind of cleanliness. But later, later, he saw too much, so he let go, and gave up…

Gently placing Andy to the side, Wang Yan slowly got up. Although his movements were light, they still woke Andy, who had the habit of waking up early.

Andy, who had been exhausted all night, opened her eyes tiredly, looked blankly at Wang Yan's robust body, and then remembered the madness of last night. Feeling the discomfort in her body, Andy frowned.

Seeing Andy open her eyes, Wang Yan leaned over and kissed Andy on the forehead: "You don't have to go to work today, sleep a little longer, I'll go buy breakfast. By the way, I'll go to the market to buy an old hen to nourish you properly."

Thinking of the madness last night, Andy blushed and said "Mm," then closed her eyes.

Finding a sportswear set to change into, Wang Yan went out for his daily morning exercise.

Hearing the "clatter" of the door closing, Andy opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Andy, in her sleep, smelled the fragrance wafting over, only feeling that her stomach was hungry and unbearable, and woke up completely.

Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, Andy yawned and stretched. Struggling to take the phone on the bedside table, she glanced at the time; it was already past eleven.

Roughly flipping through the messages, there were words of concern from the girls in 2202 downstairs, and there were also invitations from Qu Xiaoxiao in 2203 to go out for beauty spa, dinner, and play. Most of the others were from subordinates, all related to work matters. After picking out a few to reply to, she threw the phone aside, and Andy got up with difficulty to go to the bathroom to wash up.

After finishing the last dish, Wang Yan washed his hands and returned to the room to wake Andy up. Seeing no one on the bed and hearing the sound of splashing water from the bathroom, Wang Yan smiled and didn't step forward to disturb her. He turned and went to 2201 downstairs, found a set of clothes, returned upstairs, and tapped on the bathroom door: "Andy?"

"What's wrong?"

"Just got you a set of clothes from downstairs, put them on the bed."

"Okay, thank you." The sound of splashing water rang out again.

Wang Yan shook his head and didn't say anything; maybe it still wasn't deep enough, otherwise why would she say thank you? Returning to the kitchen, he served the soup he had boiled and sat at the table to start replying to messages.

Before long, Andy walked out slowly with a blushing face. Although they had already been that way and seen each other naked, she still wasn't quite used to this huge change in their relationship, especially when she was changing clothes just now and saw the bra Wang Yan had brought over.

Regardless of her shyness, Wang Yan got up and naturally helped her sit in the chair: "Specially boiled soup for you, taste it and see if it suits your taste."

Andy tasted a spoonful and felt it: "Mm, not bad. High standard as always."

"As long as you like it, eat more; all these dishes today are for nourishing qi and blood." As a professional TCM practitioner and a professional chef, he was naturally proficient in the skills of food therapy.

Nodding, once this kind of tiger-wolf topic was mentioned, Andy couldn't help but think of the happiness belonging to a woman last night. She sat up straight, felt the discomfort in her body to wake up, and changed the subject: "How is the progress of the matter?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem, there will be a result this afternoon. Eat."

Wang Yan looked for some light topics to mobilize Andy's emotions, and the two ate lunch warmly.

After the meal, they cleaned up the dishes and kitchen waste, brewed a pot of tea, and the two quietly enjoyed the peace.

Andy put down the teacup and said: "I want to go to Daishan to see my brother when I have time."

"Okay, just in time to see how the nursing home is now."

Nodding, Andy leaned against Wang Yan and continued to lower her head to drink tea. The two had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the issue of children; otherwise, they wouldn't have slept together.

At this moment, the phone on the side rang. Wang Yan glanced at it and answered: "Result?"

"Must be, Brother Wang, the video has been sent to you. Do you have time today? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Thank you, there's no reason for me to let you treat me after you've handled things. I'll arrange it tomorrow, that's it."

Hearing Wang Yan's firm tone, Yao Bin didn't argue anymore, said "Okay," and hung up the phone.

Andy on the side sat up straight: "Done?"

Wang Yan nodded, found the video sent by Yao Bin, and the two watched it once.

"Wang Yan, he and I..." After watching, Andy still wanted to explain. Now that the relationship was closer, Andy, who had lacked a sense of security since she was a child, didn't want them to have a rift because of an irrelevant person.

"Alright, didn't I say it already? Drink your tea." Wang Yan interrupted her. Regardless of Andy, who was smiling gently on the side, he sent the video to Tan Zongming and called him at the same time: "Hey? I sent you the video, they said it themselves. The rest is up to you."

After hearing the affirmative answer from the other side, he hung up the phone and continued to be lovey-dovey with Andy.

Tan Zongming received the news and took action without a word. Shengxuan was such a large group, and the legal department was raising a bunch of lawyers; it was time for them to go out and stroll around. He directly filed a lawsuit in court, and at the same time, issued a statement on the official website, Weibo, and forums regarding the malicious rumors appearing on the internet targeting Shengxuan executives, which affected the company's normal business operations, and hung the lawsuit up.

The effect was immediate; after all, there was no real evidence, and such a large company wouldn't speak recklessly. This impact was much greater than the previous one, and the incident escalated directly. The trend on the internet shifted all at once; those who had been frantically outputting started deleting posts and turned to righteous indignation against the rumor-mongers, charging at the forefront...

Fan Shengmei, who was slacking off at the company, naturally saw it and hurriedly told Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying about this matter. She didn't talk to Andy, knowing that Andy and Wang Yan were resting at home today.

Listening to the discussions of her colleagues in her ears, as if they didn't know about this matter yesterday, they were no longer indignant as before, but instead tacitly started spraying the rumor-mongers, with even more vicious words.

Fan Shengmei smiled disdainfully, turned a deaf ear, and started thinking about the power Wang Yan had shown behind this matter in front of the computer.

Guan Ju'er received the news and felt relieved, then continued to be busy with work. Qiu Yingying didn't need to be mentioned; she was busier than Guan Ju'er and didn't even see the news.

And Qu Xiaoxiao finally knew about this matter; it was when her mother called her and remembered that Andy had helped her before, so she mentioned it casually.

It was good to have a thick family background; Qu Yongquan not only gave her a sum of money but also gave her some business to do first. Qu Xiaoxiao, who had never been in contact with these, was struggling for a while, and it was quite difficult, so she had been busy at the company for the past two days.

After hearing the news, she hurriedly found the post and looked at it. After reading it, Qu Xiaoxiao was beating her chest and stamping her feet; such a good opportunity to repair the relationship or even go further, and she actually missed it?

Sitting in the expensive boss's chair, with her feet on the equally expensive desk, swaying back and forth, Qu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, took out her phone, and called… Yao Bin.

Yao Bin was studying where to find a little sister to do that, to change his mood. Seeing the call from Qu Xiaoxiao, he wanted to hang up several times, but finally sighed helplessly and answered: "Hey?"

"Yao Bin? I saw Shengxuan issued a statement, someone smeared Andy as a third party before, do you know?"

That damn thing was handled by me, how could I not know? Yao Bin said: "Know, what's wrong?"

"You know?" Qu Xiaoxiao instantly retracted her legs and sat up straight, saying angrily: "Yao Bin, if you knew, why didn't you tell me? Don't you know Andy is my neighbor? Don't you know she helped me? Later, the business didn't succeed, and I was a bit annoyed with her, and offended her a little, don't you know? Didn't I tell you? Oh, such a good opportunity this time, why did you… hey, forget it, not saying anymore, hanging up."

Once again listening to the busy tone from the phone, "Bitch." Yao Bin's face looked ugly, and he angrily threw the phone to the ground, smashing it to pieces. I know? I know your mother's paralysis.

Yao Bin decided not to hang onto her anymore; let it be. Who didn't have a temper?

Hanging up the phone in low spirits, Qu Xiaoxiao hurriedly sent a message to Andy to express her condolences, but the result was like a stone sinking into the sea. Without hesitation, Qu Xiaoxiao called Andy directly.

The call connected, and Qu Xiaoxiao said hypocritically: "Hey, Andy? I just found out about your matter, I'm really sorry I couldn't help. Are you okay?"

"Ah? I'm fine?"

"Then I'm relieved. But such a big thing happened, as a member of the 22nd floor, as a neighbor, as a friend, you didn't tell me? That's not very kind."

"Haha, how about this, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, call the ones from 2202, and let's have a meal together to calm your shock, what do you think?"

"Not today? Then tomorrow?"

"Okay, then I'll ask them."

"Mm, okay, bye."

She could hear the strangeness in Andy's words, but she didn't care. Everyone wasn't that familiar anyway; it was her who was thick-skinned and begged others for help, and then complained about others afterwards.

Of course, this was also based on the fact that the other party could talk on an equal footing; otherwise, why would she look for reasons from herself?

Qu Xiaoxiao flipped through the contacts on her phone, found the people in 2202, and sent greetings to them one by one. As a result, Qiu Yingying didn't answer, Guan Ju'er said tomorrow was uncertain, and only Fan Shengmei said it was fine.

After replying to wait until tomorrow, not knowing what she was thinking, after staring blankly for a while, Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head and started working with a sad face.

Wang Yan wasn't interested in what the consequences for the rumor-mongers were; Tan Zongming would teach them how to behave. He was even less interested in what Qu Xiaoxiao was thinking.

After talking to Andy, Wang Yan helped her downstairs, let her take some commonly used things upstairs, and the two were considered to be living together. As for this house of hers, it was just treated as a large study, and for Andy to work when she had nothing to do. And this house wasn't Andy's anyway; the ownership belonged to Shengxuan, which Tan Zongming had allocated to her.

At night, Wang Yan also cooked a sumptuous dinner. After eating, Andy talked to Fan Shengmei, who returned early, and the time was about right.

They had to work tomorrow, so the two turned off the lights and lay in bed early.

Wang Yan held Andy and whispered, not knowing when they fell asleep.

The next day, after eating the breakfast Wang Yan brought back, Andy washed up, and after a kiss goodbye, went downstairs to call Guan Ju'er and drove off.

"Sister Andy, you look really good today."

Nodding with a smile, Andy said: "The matter has been handled, no need to worry, not to mention I had a good rest yesterday, so of course I'm full of spirit."

"Mm, that's true. By the way, Sister Andy, Qu Xiaoxiao invited us to dinner tonight, saying it's to calm your shock; did she tell you?"

"She told me. Do you all have time? Just in time, I said I'd treat you to dinner last time, so I'll treat you this time."

"Sister Andy, you know me, I can't be sure, let's wait until we get off work tonight. By the way, what about Yingying, she's so busy..." Guan Ju'er paused, reacted, and patted her head: "Forget I said anything, I've been stupid from working lately."

Andy shook her head with a smile and didn't speak, focusing on driving.

Arriving at the company, she chatted with Tan Zongming, who was waiting there, and listened to him talk about how he planned to handle those who caused the rumors. Regarding the acquisition of Red Star, they also talked about the board's opinions and thoughts.

Tan Zongming discovered Andy's slight unnaturalness. Having known Andy for many years, he naturally knew what Andy's situation was, and he himself was an experienced person; how could he not see that Andy had been taken down by the Wang guy?

Although he had long since let go and understood, when this matter was really placed in front of him, Tan Zongming still felt… that way. After ending the conversation with Andy, Tan Zongming left. He went to find his new little honey… to comfort and enlighten himself.

Andy didn't care what Tan Zongming thought; even if she knew, she wouldn't care, they were all friends. After convening a morning meeting with her subordinates, she sat at her desk and started working; after a day's delay, there were quite a few things she needed to handle.

Just as Andy was immersed in her work, the phone on the side rang, and the caller was online screen name.

After thinking for a moment, Andy answered: "Hey?"

"I'm at the coffee shop downstairs from your company, let's meet."

Andy pondered for a moment and said "Okay."

In the coffee shop, Wei Wei held a coffee cup and said: "I'm sorry, Andy. I rushed back as soon as I received the news, wanting to handle this matter. But I didn't expect your actions to be so fast, but because of the trouble I brought and the harm to you, I still want to express my apologies."

Andy said lightly: "It's just some small trouble, it's fine, you don't need to feel guilty."

Looking at Andy, Wei Wei said softly: "Actually, I'm quite grateful for this scandal; otherwise, I wouldn't have a reason to come see you. That day my..."

"Sorry, online screen name. Please don't say these things anymore, I already have a boyfriend."

Hearing this, Wei Wei's hands holding the coffee cup tightened suddenly, his knuckles turning white: "Is it that Wang-surnamed man in the scandal?" Seeing Andy nod without speaking, Wei Wei tried his best to be calm, but his voice couldn't hide the trembling: "Why him? Is it because I'm not tall? Is it because I'm not handsome? Is it because my IQ isn't enough? Or what? Where am I lacking? Please give me a reason, Andy."

He had found someone to investigate Wang Yan the first time he received the news. After looking at the detailed information, Wei Wei was confident that he was not weaker than anyone.

"The you now is not the online screen name I know. You are Wei Wei." Andy looked at Wei Wei, who was trying to suppress his excitement, shook her head and said: "If you must have a reason, I think it can be said to be 'love.' That is a warmth I have never felt in the thirty years of my life."

Looking at Andy, whose expression was full of warmth when she spoke of that Wang-surnamed man, Wei Wei was silent.

He was a smart person, a decisive smart person, and even more so a smart person with a clear understanding of himself. Knowing it couldn't be done and still doing it, wasting time and energy, although there were feelings, that wasn't his style of doing things.

Releasing the coffee cup with both hands, Wei Wei said: "Since that's the case, then I won't force it. But I think we are still friends, right?"

Andy shrugged and smiled: "Of course, you are online screen name, aren't you?"

"Thank you, I'll treat you to coffee, leaving first."

Wei Wei left, Andy didn't see him off, and didn't even look back, just stared blankly at the cup of coffee opposite that hadn't been touched, the sweat marks on the surface of the cup clearly visible…

For a long time, Andy came back to her senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then got up, walking out of the coffee shop with a radiant smile…

In the bar, soft and soothing music echoed in the quiet space against the backdrop of dim yellow lights.

In a booth in the corner, Yao Bin clinked glasses with Wang Yan and drank a glass of wine: "Brother Wang, I think what you said last time was too right. You don't know, she called me yesterday... and a while ago too..." Yao Bin told Wang Yan about what happened after they drank last time and said: "This Qu Xiaoxiao is really, too damn excessive; she only looks for me when she wants me to handle things, and never looks for me when there's nothing. Oh, right, she also looks for me to eat, drink, and have fun; I've finally understood, that's because no one else is playing with her, so she thinks of me to pay the bill, damn it."

"Oh, right, Brother Wang. Speaking of paying the bill, I recalled the situation of us going out to play for so many years when I had nothing to do, and finally found that she paid the least. Damn it, her family isn't short of that little money, why is she so stingy? Also, the house she lives in now, I was the one who paid the deposit for her, and the decoration money was paid by another friend, I really ni ma de... fuck."

Just look at Yao Bin and you'll know; once you have thoughts about someone, everything you look at is wrong, and there are flaws everywhere.

"You, you're just fast with your mouth, but you're useless when you really see Qu Xiaoxiao." Wang Yan thought for a moment and said: "Oh, wrong, you can't even do it when you don't see her, just listening to her voice on the phone is not enough."

Drinking a glass of wine fiercely, Yao Bin said uncomfortably: "Oh, Brother Wang, stop laughing at your younger brother. You say we've known each other since we were young, and it's been so many years, if I really want to do something, hey... it's hard."

Mm, Wang Yan understood all these things and could understand them. But Yao Bin's appearance was obviously not what he wanted; this looked like he had been too gentle last time. This time, he had to give him a good wash.

Drinking a glass of wine to moisten his throat, Master Wang started: "Yao Bin, brother tell you..."

At the same time, on the other side, the five beauties of Ode to Joy met again. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
