Chapter 96

Fan Shengmei saw everyone's eyes gathered on her and Wang Baichuan, brushed her hair, and said slightly awkwardly: "Baichuan and I are still early. Unlike you, it is not so easy to settle down in Shanghai."

Wang Baichuan was affectionate: "Don't worry, Xiao Mei, we will definitely be able to."

Facing Wang Baichuan's eyes full of tenderness, Fan Shengmei couldn't help thinking of his mother's sarcasm.

"There are plenty of rich people outside to help you support your family..."

"Let my son go..."

Those words that hit the lungs really hurt her a lot.

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes.

Waving her hand, Fan Shengmei said: "Okay, don't talk about this. It's a new year, everyone fill the wine, let's have a drink together."

Looking at Wang Baichuan's unnatural face, Sister Andi sighed imperceptibly, then smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Cheers!!!"

Everyone clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

The protagonists of this meal are the women present, while Wang Yan, Zhao Qiping, and Wang Baichuan are more like foils.

Accompanied by the chattering of the four women, the New Year dinner ended.

However, with Guan Juer's words, this dinner is more like a breakup meal: "Sister Fan, let's all go back to Joyful Mansion today, I... I have something to tell you."

Fan Shengmei looked at Guan Juer suspiciously, and then seemed to understand something: "Okay, let's all go back to Joyful Mansion..."

Qiu Yingying, who was jumping up and down, turned her eyes and thought of a possibility, and became quiet.

Wang Yan said: "Xiao Guan, let's go with us. Dr. Zhao is not on the way and didn't drive, so let him take a taxi back."

Guan Juer nodded, helped the slightly drunk Zhao Qiping into the taxi, explained a few words, then turned around and greeted Fan Shengmei, and got into Wang Yan's black A8.

The designated driver started the car and merged into the traffic.

Qiu Yingying asked: "Guan Guan, are you going to move to Dr. Zhao's place?"

Guan Juer nodded: "Yes, but Yingying, don't worry, we can contact often in the future, just not living together."

Qiu Yingying pouted dejectedly: "Forget it, you and Dr. Zhao are affectionate, don't expect you to remember me."

"Yingying~~ Don't worry, we are best friends, how can I forget you? The small cakes that we agreed to eat all over Shanghai haven't been finished yet."

Sister Andi comforted: "Xiao Qiu, you don't have to be sad, everyone is in Shanghai, it is very convenient for everyone to meet."

Qiu Yingying smiled: "I'm teasing Guan Guan, of course I'm also a bit reluctant. It's just that seeing her and Dr. Zhao so sweet, I'm all blessing. Oh, thinking that Guan Guan will have children in two years, tsk tsk..." As she spoke, she patted her chest and leaned on Guan Juer to act like a spoiled child.

"Oh, Yingying... Sister Sister Andi, look at her..."

"Hahaha, I don't care, I want to be a godmother..."

Hearing the laughter from behind, Wang Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised the corners of his mouth. This is Joyful Mansion...

On the other side, holding Ma San, the same designated driver drove, and Wang Baichuan hugged the silent Fan Shengmei and sat in the back row.

He clumsily wanted to talk about some relaxed topics to liven up the atmosphere, so that the beauty in his arms could show the smile he liked most. After a long time without response, Wang Baichuan asked: "You were happy before, why are you suddenly unhappy? What are you thinking about?"

Fan Shengmei said softly: "Nothing, it's just that Xiao Guan might move away... um... a bit reluctant."

She has always understood that there is no banquet in the world that does not end. Moreover, in this super metropolis of Shanghai, if Guan Juer really moves away. It was fine at first, but after a long time, who knows who? After all, there is a saying: walk and walk and disperse. No one will be by your side forever, but someone will always be by your side. It has always been only yourself who can accompany yourself forever, that's all.

What she is considering is that the rent for three people now needs to be two people, which greatly increases her living costs.

Unlike the original drama, after Fan Shengying's house was sold, except for paying back Wei Wei's money, the rest was in her hands. This time she only took a small part, just a few tens of thousands, which was insisted by Fan's mother, and nothing worked.

She also has to give her parents medicine and living expenses every month, which is a few thousand. Added to the increase in rent, the money she can spend is much less. And she is a new job, not a drought and flood, the base salary is lower than her original job, and more depends on commission. So if this goes on, how can she buy beautiful clothes? How can she maintain her delicate skin?

Wang Baichuan heard this, comforted a few words, and then there was no follow-up. The car was quiet, and he was thinking in his heart whether there was a possibility, and how to say it.

Finally, they arrived outside Joyful Mansion.

Wang Baichuan protected Fan Shengmei to get out of the car, thought about it and said: "Xiao Mei, why don't you move to my place. This way I see you every day when I wake up, it's a beautiful day. And, my place is close to..."

Looking at Fan Shengmei's eyes, Wang Baichuan's confidence in speaking became less and less, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until he shut up.

Fan Shengmei looked like she couldn't help you, gently stroking his face: "Baichuan, I know, I know everything. Don't worry, give me some time, and give yourself some time. Let's adapt to each other, okay?"

How could she move in with Wang Baichuan? Even if she really had some thoughts about living with Wang Baichuan now, the love game theory she had believed in for a long time, and the thinking inertia formed by it, did not allow her to do so. Lengthening the time of love, letting men pay time, energy, and money, to see the man's sincerity to her, this is what she wants.

"Okay, Xiao Mei... I know." The words that were held for the whole way were this result, Wang Baichuan was slightly dejected, and said hesitantly: "I know you are worried about my mother's prejudice, but believe me, I will never let you down. It is me who lives with you, not my mother, don't care what she says."

Fan Shengmei smiled: "Okay, I know. Go back and rest, you drank a lot today. I'm going back, bye." After speaking, she stepped forward and kissed Wang Baichuan, waved her hand, and turned to walk into the community.

Wang Baichuan smacked his lips, feeling the remaining warmth, and waved at Fan Shengmei's back as she walked away.

A kiss, very satisfying...

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer had already returned to the 22nd floor first and were tidying up things. Seeing Fan Shengmei open the door and come back, they greeted her enthusiastically.

Fan Shengmei changed her clothes, poured a glass of water and sat on the sofa: "Xiao Guan, are you going to move to Dr. Zhao's place?"

Guan Juer nodded: "I'm sorry, Sister Fan."

With a puff of laughter, Fan Shengmei said: "What's there to be sorry about, you didn't do anything wrong. When are you leaving?"

"The rent is paid until the end of the month, and there is not much time left. I plan to tidy up and leave tomorrow."

"Oh, I really didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you are going to get married. I feel like we just met yesterday..."

This is a bit sad, Qiu Yingying pouted and said: "Sister Fan, you say so, I suddenly want to cry..."

Guan Juer nodded in agreement, crying and smiling: "Yingying, what are you crying for? Didn't you just say you were happy for me? You also said you wanted to be a godmother to my child..."

Qiu Yingying choked: "I... I just can't control it..."

She sees it clearly, but she is not a cold-blooded person. These two girls have also helped her a lot. It is nonsense to say that there is no emotion after living for so long. Her eyes were also wet with tears, and she smiled and said: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, what are you crying for? I remember, when I first came..."

The three of them talked from the first meeting to the present, crying, laughing...

After talking for a long time, the emotions of the three stabilized. Guan Juer said with red eyes: "Sister Fan, I think the house is not the most important thing, classmate Wang is really good to you..."

"Yes, Sister Fan." Qiu Yingying nodded in agreement: "The most important thing for two people is to love each other..."

Fan Shengmei never thought that talking could lead to herself, wiped her tears: "You, you are still too young. Xiao Guan, you don't understand my thoughts because Dr. Zhao's family is good. What Xiao Qiu said is even more unreliable. It is unrealistic to be full of love and drink water. After two people have been together for a long time, how can there be the throbbing hormones at the beginning? A good material foundation and living conditions are the basis for maintaining feelings and marriage."

"Unlike Dr. Zhao, who has a house and a car, and a decent and stable job. What does Wang Baichuan have? Poor and white, precarious. His future is uncertain, and the house is certain, and it is also a guarantee he can give me."

After speaking, looking at the two girls who were thinking in a daze, she smiled: "Okay, I have a count, do you still need to worry about it? Hurry up and tidy up and sleep, it's late, and I have to go to work tomorrow."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying looked at each other and said oh, ending what might be the last tea party of the three sisters.

In fact, when Fan Shengmei didn't come back, the two of them were discussing her. They felt that Wang Baichuan was a bit pitiful. They saw Wang Baichuan's face today...

The next day, Wang Yan and Sister Andi had their daily morning exercise.

Sister Andi especially likes this quiet and peaceful feeling in the morning. Her happiest time of the day is the morning. It doesn't work at night. It's happy, but she can't stand it.

So even in special circumstances, when she is uncomfortable, she will get up early and walk slowly. Breathing the fresh air of grass and trees in the morning, watching Wang Yan running fast in circles, she is particularly satisfied.

After breakfast and washing, go to work separately.

On the way, listening to Qiu Yingying talking about Guan Juer's reluctance and sadness, it is the beginning of another beautiful day.

The product launch results yesterday were quite good. Although it didn't reach the point of becoming popular overnight, the invitation to pull people to give red envelopes and answer questions to win millions is really too overbearing. WeChat, QQ, are all invitation links, and the number of registered users is huge, and the data is particularly good.

Because of this, various institutions with keen sense of smell and meat came to the door, and the phone was almost exploded. Selected representatives of a few companies and let their subordinates contact them first to see. By the way, Qiu Yingying was also brought along. It is good to see more of this scene.

Just after dealing with this, the phone rang. Wang Yan glanced at the call reminder and answered the phone casually: "Hello? Boss Tan is not busy eating meat, why do you have time to find me?"

"Okay, okay."

In a teahouse, watching the waiter pour tea, Tan Zongming waved his hand to let him retreat, and said: "Try the tea, how is it?"

Wang Yan picked up the teacup, performed a set of very professional actions, and nodded: "Well... not bad, fresh and refreshing, if I didn't guess wrong, it is last year's Mingqian Biluochun."

Tan Zongming clapped his hands and praised: "It seems that President Wang has been immersed for a long time, and he is indeed a master of this way."

Nodding faintly, Wang Yan said: "President Tan is not a person who likes flattery, if you have anything, just say it."

"President Wang is quick to speak, so I won't beat around the bush. There is indeed something I want to discuss with you." Tan Zongming was not embarrassed at all. Seeing Wang Yan nod, he smiled: "The product launched by your company yesterday caused quite a stir. I believe you have also received many invitations. Then with Sister Andi's relationship, and the action against the Bao family, I think we also have a basis for cooperation..."

Wang Yan no longer pays attention to the situation of the Bao family. The result is already doomed. They must have had a very bad New Year. Now it is just supporting, basically almost there, not many days left.

Wang Yan is clear about Tan Zongming's past experience. Mainly engaged in industry, for so many years, he really wants to insert a foot in the Internet circle, but his life is not good, and he can't invest in one. It is estimated that there is an obsession, and he has to mix in high and low.

Wang Yan pondered for a moment: "Are you investing yourself, or binding Shengxuan together?"

Tan Zongming thought about it and replied: "I invest privately."

Nodding, Wang Yan said: "Since this is the case, then you follow the investment. I will give you a face for the angel round, and the rest depends on yourself." Investment also depends on strength. The company needs to develop and needs resources. If the money does not reach a certain amount, it is not the most important thing. Tan Zongming does not have these. It is indeed the boss's face to be able to bring him.

Tan Zongming smiled and thanked him. It is good for him to have a cup. He didn't expect the rest at all, and he has a count of himself.

"Call Sister Andi, let's have a meal together? It can be considered a thank you, thank you President Wang for giving me this opportunity."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Forget about eating, you know how busy I am now."

On the way back, Wang Yan thought of the Qu family. If it weren't for mentioning the Bao family just now, he would have forgotten it. After all, Qu Xiaoxiao hadn't made trouble in front of him for a long time.

Thinking about it, Wang Yan made a phone call: "Hello? It's me. How is it going?"

After listening to the situation on the other side, Wang Yan said: "Okay, let's act."

Compared with the Bao family, the Qu family's New Year is one in the sky and one on the ground. Unlike the gloom of the old Bao family, the Qu family is full of joy. Because Qu Lianjie found a big client and made a big business, the old lady in the family was extremely satisfied, and Qu Yongquan was also very comforted.

Perhaps the only unhappy ones are Qu Xiaoxiao and her mother. Because they are not favored by the old lady, and they can't compete with Qu Lianjie for family property, it's strange to be happy.

This day, Qu Lianjie called his client as usual to contact him. It has been several days since the New Year, and he still has to communicate in real time about what the charter is. For this project, it can be said that their family smashed the life of the Qu family, and there can be no mistakes.

It's just that the result is not very good, and the phone on the other side indicates that it has been turned off. Qu Lianjie didn't care, thinking it might be too early, and the playboy didn't get up yet.

By noon, he made another call, but it was still turned off. Qu Lianjie's heart was a bit thumping, and he hurriedly found the contact information of others following the client and called.

The result was no surprise, it was still turned off.

Qu Lianjie, who thought of something, turned pale, breathed rapidly, and sweated like rain.

He trembled, constantly making phone calls

"Answer..."

"Please, don't mess with me, answer the phone..."

"I grass your mother, answer it..."

For a long time, Qu Lianjie, who had not seen the result, angrily threw the phone to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Getting up to the wine cabinet to open a bottle of spirits, Qu Lianjie poured several sips, panting violently for a long time to calm his mood.

After a while, Qu Lianjie squatted on the ground in a daze, turned over the wreckage of the phone, found the phone card and inserted it into a spare phone. Dialed Qu Yongquan's phone: "Dad... something happened..."

Qu family villa, Qu Yongquan walked around angrily, Qu Lianjie knelt on the ground, Qu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa wondering what she was thinking, and her mother was drinking tea calmly on the side.

Qu Yongquan, who was walking around, felt more and more uncomfortable, and kicked Qu Lianjie who was kneeling on the ground angrily: "Look at the good things you did."

Qu Lianjie clenched his fists and didn't speak, and he couldn't say anything.

Qu Xiaoxiao's mother persuaded: "Old Qu, sit down and calm down, you can't help it even if you beat him to death. Think about a solution."

Qu Yongquan breathed heavily, one hand on his waist, one hand on the back of the sofa: "What solution? What solution is there besides selling the industry?"

Speaking of which, he was still not relieved, stepped forward and gave Qu Lianjie another kick: "I have ruined my hard work for most of my life, you unpromising thing."

After Qu Yongquan, who had calmed down, took Qu Lianjie away, Qu Xiaoxiao, who had been watching coldly and didn't say a word, asked: "Mom, do you have any preparations?"

"My daughter is smart." After praising Qu Xiaoxiao, her mother said whether she was crying or laughing: "I, I have already transferred a lot of assets long ago. This incident has no impact on us. It's just that the relationship between me and your father ends here. He will inevitably find out what I did when he goes out this time. Hey, I have lived for half a life..."

"Really?" Qu Xiaoxiao said happily: "Mom, what are your plans?"

"You wait for me to call and ask. If it goes well, we will leave today." As she spoke, she took out the phone, found a contact and dialed it.

"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off..."

Qu Xiaoxiao's heart thumped, which was no different from what Qu Lianjie said, and said with a trembling voice: "Mom... no... won't it also be... cheated..."

Qu Xiaoxiao's mother muttered "No" and kept calling...

For a long time, slumped on the sofa, a line of tears left, Mother Qu said: "Xiaoxiao... our family... is finished."

Qu Xiaoxiao sat there in a daze, she could no longer hear Mother Qu's words. Imagining what life would be like without reliance and money in the future.

She couldn't help but compare with the three women in 2202, whom she had more contact with...

In the following period of time, Wang Yan dealt with company affairs, took Qiu Yingying to negotiate and consult, and finalized the financing plan. In March, he and Sister Andi went out to travel happily and took wedding photos by the way.

Qiu Yingying was vigorously promoted by Wang Yan, upgraded from a handyman to middle management of the company, and there was a group of people under her, and her salary and benefits were naturally synchronized. Suddenly sitting in a high position, her ability must not be matched. Qiu Yingying, who was tired like a dog every day, had no mind to gossip with Fan Shengmei, and basically went to bed when she got home. Except for occasionally contacting Guan Juer to complain about Wang Yan, she hadn't seen her for a long time.

In fact, the current Qiu Yingying has the ability to move out by herself. After all, there is a housing subsidy benefit, plus her salary, which is not much higher than the current expenses. It's just that she is used to living, and Fan Shengmei is still an acquaintance, although they rarely communicate. The bigger reason is that for her, the house is just a simple place to sleep, that's all.

Fan Shengmei is now closer to Wang Baichuan and closer to her workplace. Sometimes she also spends the night in Wang Baichuan's rented house, and "sometimes" is gradually increasing. Because her rent cost is indeed a bit high, and now the work is just beginning, it is the stage of accumulating resources, which is indeed a bit stretched. She can't tell Wang Baichuan clearly...

After becoming a financial consultant, Fan Shengmei deeply felt that doing HR before was really a waste of youth, and the major was not right at all. Look at what kind of players she is in contact with now...

Wang Baichuan is busy fighting and buying a house all day. Fan Shengmei wants company, wants money, has comparisons with those people at work, and Wang Baichuan's mother who refuses to agree to death. Naturally, she has different ideas, but Fan Shengmei covered it up very well.

As for the Qu family, a large amount of money was rolled away, and the remaining assets could not pay off various responses, and naturally they were gone.

The house in 2201 has long changed owners. I heard that it was a low-price rush, and those who were fast had it. The newcomers are a couple in their thirties, polite, and smiling at everyone. They have also been drifting for many years, and now they are taking advantage of the low price to make a move in time. Both families borrowed a lot of money to buy this house.

The certificates have been collected, and there is no big deal. They just invited both parents, close relatives, and some friends to have a meal and it was considered married. Wang Yan, Sister Andi, and Qiu Yingying all sent sincere blessings to good neighbors, and they got along quite well.

As for Qu Xiaoxiao... Wang Yan received a call from the drunken Yao Bin asking for comfort, saying that Qu Xiaoxiao had changed her temperament and became a socialite.

Thinking about it, it's normal. Qu Xiaoxiao can't do this or that, and only knows the circle of the second generation...

The Qu family's money turned several circles abroad, and finally separated and remitted to the public accounts of various welfare homes, which can be considered as accumulating virtue for the Qu family.

Time reached April 21, the 15th day of the third lunar month, Wang Yan and Sister Andi got married.
