Volume 8: Return to the Golden Years Comprehensive World Chapter 554 Yuan Xudong and Guan Yingying live together
"Why hasn't Sister Fan come back yet?"
"This is the last piece of cheesecake, Yingying, why don't you eat it?"
"Guan Guan, you should eat it first. I'm not hungry now!"
"Yingying, you should eat it. I'm trying to lose weight!"
"How about we each take half?"
"Okay, half each!"
Just like that, the last piece of cheesecake on the table was divided in half between Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying. While eating the cheesecake that was originally intended for Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer smiled and said:
"Yingying, I really think you made the right decision to resign this time. You are now more and more productive. Unlike me, I help others with chores in the office every day. It is not as meaningful as you selling bags of coffee!"
"That's right. I used to always wait for others to tell me to do something. This is the first time I took the initiative to do something. I feel a great sense of accomplishment!"
Qiu Yingying smiled. Seeing her like this, Guan Juer smiled and said:
"Let me tell you a really funny story. The night before yesterday, I was staying in the same room with my colleague. When I woke up in the morning, I was still sleepy and didn't wear my glasses. I was groggy and suddenly I saw someone else in my room. I screamed and scared my colleague so much that he fell off the bed!"
"What's that? I was watching a horror movie in my room alone last night. It was The Grudge, and then..."
Before Qiu Yingying could finish, Fan Shengmei came back. She opened the door and walked into the house, carrying a lot of things in her hands. Seeing Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying lying on the table in the living room eating snacks, she smiled and said:
"I'm back!"
"Sister Fan, you're back!"
"Sister Fan, do you want to eat cake? And three squirrels?"
Seeing Fan Shengmei coming back, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer said happily. After taking a look at the snacks they had eaten, Fan Shengmei smiled and said:
"Guan Guan, little earthworms, you guys are just eating these snacks? Here are some Hong Kong dim sum, let's have some!"
After sharing some of the snacks she brought back with Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei walked towards her room with the remaining snacks in her hands and said with a smile:
"I'm so tired today. I'll take a shower later, okay?"
"Okay, Sister Fan!"
"Okay, Sister Fan!"
Looking at the charming and mature Fan Shengmei, the young Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying nodded hurriedly. After Fan Shengmei walked into her room, Qiu Yingying looked at Guan Juer and whispered:
"Guan Guan, look quickly, are all those bags in Sister Fan's hand branded? I think I saw our store manager carrying one of them!"
"They all seem to be big brands. Has Sister Fan found a rich boyfriend?"
At this time, Qiu Yingying sneaked into Fan Shengmei's room and startled Fan Shengmei who was changing clothes. Seeing the marks on her body, Qiu Yingying immediately asked with concern:
"Sister Fan, why do you have so many scars on your body? Were you bullied?"
"You scared me to death? What's wrong? What scars?"
After putting on her clothes, Fan Shengmei gave Qiu Yingying, who knew nothing, a cold look and said with a smile:
"These aren't scars, these are love, understand?"
"What do you mean?"
Looking at Fan Shengmei's happy face, Qiu Yingying still didn't understand and asked:
"Sister Fan, did your boyfriend hit you?"
"Go away, kid, stop talking nonsense. He can't bear to hit me. He loves me so much!"
Fan Shengmei smiled somewhat complacently. She felt shy and happy when she thought about how Yuan Xudong acted like a bull on her body. She was very proud that he liked her body so much. At this time, Qiu Yingying smiled and said:
"Sister Fan, I feel so happy. If this were my mother, she would definitely pull my ears and ask me when I would find a son-in-law. Fortunately, I don't live with my mother. Besides, she called me and was worried about the phone bill. She could just scold me during the Spring Festival. Do you think I should rent a boyfriend to go home during the Spring Festival?"
Looking at the chattering Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei smiled, then shrugged her nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Does anyone have any cold medicine? I was freezing yesterday!"
"I have it, I'll rush it for you!"
Guan Juer volunteered to help Fan Shengmei make cold medicine. Looking at Fan Shengmei, whose nose was not very sensitive, Qiu Yingying smiled mischievously:
"Sister Fan, did your boyfriend not let you sleep last night?"
"I'm telling you, little earthworm!"
Looking at Qiu Yingying's smirk, Fan Shengmei pinched her cheeks with both hands and said with a smile:
"Don't learn from your sister Fan. I'm a negative example, you know? Up to this point I haven't found a man willing to marry me!"
"Oh, that's disgusting!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Fan Shengmei asked in confusion:
"Who's knocking at the door?"
"Who? Who is it?"
Qiu Yingying walked to open the door while muttering broken English. When she opened the door, Andy, who lived next door, walked in. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were very happy to see Andy, but Fan Shengmei was a little unhappy and she went back to her room.
After staying in Qiu Yingying's room for a while, Andy was ready to leave. Before leaving, she stood in front of Fan Shengmei's room and apologized:
"Xiao Fan, I apologize to you. Please forgive my inappropriate words and actions that day!"
" Andy , you don't have to apologize. It's normal for ideas to conflict. There's no need to force unity!"
Fan Shengmei's voice came from the room:
"You can stick to your opinion and your concept, and don't have to look down on me and apologize to me insincerely just to save face among neighbors!"
"Don't worry, I won't force you to accept my apology, but I must also state that I am not condescending, it's just that my strategy is wrong. I don't have anything superior to offer, so you don't have to be so proud!"
Hearing this, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but walk out of the room and said:
"Your words and actions were inappropriate at first, and your strategy was inappropriate at the end. This shows that you thought about it and took action. There is nothing to explain. I also want to make it clear that I don't have as strong self-esteem as you said. Maybe what you want to say is that I have a strong inferiority complex, but I just don't want to appear so condescending and changed it to self-esteem. Thank you, I appreciate your kindness!"
I didn't expect Fan Shengmei to say this about me. Andy was silent for a while and then said:
"Okay, I won't apologize anymore. I just regret the hurt I caused you. I'm going back now. You guys should get some rest early!"
After watching Andy leave, Fan Shengmei also closed the door, leaving Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying looking at each other in the living room.
…
The next day, just as Qiu Yingying was about to go to work, Qu Xiaoxiao found her and said:
"Little earthworm, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's up?"
"There is a migrant worker's child from a single-parent family who was in a car accident and is lying in the hospital in urgent need of medical expenses. I'm going to donate money right now. You know, I'm a shy person and I'm afraid that people will thank me too much. I want to find someone to accompany me, but Andy won't go with me. Do you want to go with me?"
"But……"
Qiu Yingying flipped through her wallet and said in confusion:
"I only have a few hundred dollars on me, but it would be bad if I went empty-handed. How about I go to the supermarket and buy some milk to bring over?"
"Okay, whatever you want, let's go!"
…
Hospital inpatient department.
" Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for Dr. Zhao and kind people like you, we really don't know what we would do!"
In order to attract Dr. Zhao's attention, Qu Xiaoxiao paid 10,000 yuan for the injured child's medical expenses. The child's mother thanked her in person, and Qu Xiaoxiao was so moved that she burst into tears. Qiu Yingying next to her was so moved that she burst into tears and said:
"Auntie, don't say that. Xiao Qu has nothing but money. It's only natural for her to help you!"
Hearing Qiu Yingying say this, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her in shock. She was about to cry. Looking at the child lying on the hospital bed, Qu Xiaoxiao said with tears in her eyes:
"Little brother, does it hurt?"
"Auntie, I don't feel any pain. The doctor said that I am a little man and a man should not be afraid of pain, let alone cry!"
"Uh-huh!"
…
As night fell, Fan Shengmei was walking home from get off work when she received a text message from her brother:
"Amei, my parents are taking Lei Lei to Shanghai by train to avoid the limelight. They don't have any money with them. Go to the train station to pick them up at 8:30 tonight!"
When Fan Shengmei saw the text message, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. She hurriedly took a taxi to the train station and called her brother, but unfortunately no one answered. Her parents didn't have a mobile phone, so she could only worry and urge the driver to drive faster. Although she had said that she would not care about their lives in the future , when the time really came, she still couldn't really give up.
After running around for a long time at the train station, which was crowded with people, Fan Shengmei had no idea where her parents and Lei Lei were. She had no choice but to call people she knew for help, including Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, Qu Xiaoxiao, and Yuan Xudong. Finally, with the help of the train station staff, she found the two elderly people and the child, Fan Jianguo and Liu Meilan, and a five-year-old child, Lei Lei.
The first time he saw Fan Shengmei's parents, Yuan Xudong felt they were disgusted, probably because of preconceived notions. Fan Shengmei was worried about them and their children, but they were only worried about their son and grandson. As for Fan Shengmei, they didn't even say a word of concern. They said she was their daughter, but in fact she was almost like an old mother. After finding them and it was already very late, Yuan Xudong drove Fan Shengmei and the others back to Ode to Joy community. The car was a bit crowded, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying squeezed in the passenger seat, and the others squeezed in the back.
At this time, Fan Shengmei's mother Liu Meilan said:
"Xiao Mei, are we going to stay at your place tonight? We haven't had dinner yet!"
"Come over to my place in a bit, you and dad take a break, I'm going to go get some midnight snacks!"
"Sister Fan, are you going to let uncle and aunt stay in your room tonight?"
At this time, Qiu Yingying asked while lying in Guan Juer's arms. Fan Shengmei nodded and forced a smile:
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"The bed in your room is so small that even two people can't squeeze in, how can four people squeeze in?"
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. At this moment, Qiu Yingying began to look at Yuan Xudong who was driving, and Qu Xiaoxiao who was hiding in the corner and dared not speak. Seeing Qiu Yingying's innocent eyes, Yuan Xudong knew what she wanted to say, and thought to himself that something was wrong. Fortunately, Qiu Yingying looked at Qu Xiaoxiao again and said:
"Master, your house is quite big, how about staying here for one night?"
After thanking the kind-hearted Qiu Yingying with murderous eyes, Qu Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile:
"Okay, I can just chat with my uncle and aunt!"
Knowing that Qu Xiaoxiao was unwilling, Fan Shengmei refused:
"No, no need to trouble you, we can solve our own family affairs behind closed doors!"
Qu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Qiu Yingying was about to make trouble again and said:
"That won't work. You'll have to sleep on the sofa or on the floor. It's too cold. You'll catch a cold. How about staying in a hotel?"
At this moment, Guan Juer couldn't help but secretly pinched Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying didn't know what she meant, so she couldn't help asking:
"Guan Guan, why are you pinching me?"
Yuan Xudong couldn't help but glance at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying was really confused. Guan Juer smiled embarrassedly and said:
"Sorry, my legs are numb!"
"Your legs are numb? Did I press you down?"
Qiu Yingying really thought that Guan Juer pinched her because her legs were numb. She moved her body and asked:
"I'll change my position. Are you feeling better?"
"alright!"
Guan Juer forced a smile and said, she was holding Qiu Yingying in her arms, just like holding a child, which made Yuan Xudong want to laugh. At this time, Fan Shengmei said:
"Let's just make do with this tonight, and then I'll look for a hotel tomorrow!"
"Why stay in a hotel? It's a waste of money. So, let's just squeeze into a random place tonight. Tomorrow..."
At this point, Fan Shengmei's mother Liu Meilan glanced at Fan Shengmei and said:
"Xiao Mei, just move to the company dormitory. It's free there. I told you to live in the company dormitory a long time ago!"
"But……"
At this time, Qiu Yingying wanted to say something again, but Guan Juer suddenly hugged her little head and held her in her proud bosom. Yuan Xudong took a look and found that Guan Juer's breasts had grown a lot bigger. He must enjoy them well tonight. As if she noticed Yuan Xudong's burning gaze, Guan Juer blushed and became a little shy. Yuan Xudong hadn't nourished her with rain and dew for a while. To be honest, she was actually looking forward to Yuan Xudong's favor.
"We're here, get off the bus!"
Arriving at the Ode to Joy neighborhood, everyone started to get off the bus. Guan Juer took Qiu Yingying aside and whispered:
"Yingying, Sister Fan has no money on her. Why are you talking about a hotel? Can't you see that Sister Fan is very embarrassed?"
"ah?"
Qiu Yingying suddenly realized:
"No wonder you never let me speak, it turns out..."
On the other side, after watching her parents take Lei Lei out of the car, Fan Shengmei walked over to Yuan Xudong and said a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Yuan, thank you for tonight!"
"It's okay, it's just a small favor, you should go to bed early!"
Looking at Fan Shengmei who was forcing a smile, Yuan Xudong took out a bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand and said with a smile:
"Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Guan Guan and Little Earthworm can move in with me. Let your parents live in their room!"
"Mr. Yuan, I..."
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Fan Shengmei said anxiously:
"I can't take your money, I..."
"It's not for you, it's loaned to you. You can return it to me later, okay?"
Looking at Fan Shengmei, regardless of whether she really didn't want it or was playing hard to get with him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Okay, go ahead and don't let Guan Guan and Little Earthworm see us. I don't want a fire in the backyard!"
“Hmm~~”
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Fan Shengmei walked towards her parents not far away. At this time, Yuan Xudong walked towards Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying on the other side and said with a smile:
"Guan Guan, Ying Ying, can you guys move in with me from now on?"
"Are we going to move in with you?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were a little embarrassed. Guan Juer was better, after all, she was Yuan Xudong's girlfriend, but Qiu Yingying was not. She blushed and said:
"How is the rent calculated?"
"this……"
Looking at the shy Qiu Yingying, Yuan Xudong teased her:
"I don't want the rent. I'll just convert it into housework. You'll be responsible for doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and taking out the trash downstairs every day. How about I waive the rent for you?"
"Okay, okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
…
"Come in, everyone!"
The house that Yuan Xudong bought in the Ode to Joy neighborhood was one floor above the one that Guan Juer and her friends rented. After helping Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying move their belongings up, Yuan Xudong, who was sweating all over, smiled and said:
"You all must be tired, go take a shower first, I'll clean up the room!"
"good!"
