I'm in love

The phone kept ringing, as if it would never stop. Fan Shengmei sat on the sofa, looking at the phone screen with confused eyes, but her fingers hesitated to press the answer button. She knew that this call must be from the family that gave her a headache, but deep in her heart, there was a trace of concern that she could not let go.

Finally, after the phone rang for a long time, Fan Shengmei took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, slowly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hello!" Fan Shengmei's voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

A strange man's voice came from the other end of the line: "What are you doing? I called you but you didn't answer. Your mother is waiting to talk to you! Quick, quick, answer the phone now."

Before Fan Shengmei could respond, she heard her mother's anxious voice: "Hey, Xiaomei! Why did you answer the phone just now? Something happened here."

Fan Shengmei's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Hey! Mom, wait a moment."

However, the mother did not seem to be patient and urged anxiously: "Wait a minute, right? Hurry up!"

Fan Shengmei held the phone tightly, trying to calm her nervous mood, and then asked softly: "What's wrong, Mom?"

Mother Fan said anxiously: "Xiao Mei, it's bad, we have been locked out by the security guards of your building, and now we can't get in at all!"

Fan Shengmei responded somewhat helplessly: "Mom, didn't I tell you not to go out of the door? There is an access control system there."

Mother Fan explained, "Yes, but Lei Lei insisted on going out to play! He started crying and shouting when we didn't let him out. We had no choice but to take him for a walk around the neighborhood. But when we came back, the security guard wouldn't let us in."

Mother Fan became more and more angry as she spoke: "They also said that we didn't bring any cards. Tell me, what's going on? We haven't even had lunch yet! Luckily, we met a kind person who lent us his cell phone to call you."

Fan Shengmei: "Do you have any money with you?"

Mother Fan: I brought money, but I only brought five dollars. What can I do with it? Can you think of a solution?

Mother Fan: You see we can’t get in, and Lei Lei is crying because of hunger. What do you think we should do?

Fan Shengmei said anxiously, "Mom, please return the phone to the person first, then thank him... I will call the security guard to come and help."

Mother Fan quickly responded, "Okay, okay, then hurry up, it's freezing cold, we're almost freezing to death outside!"

After saying that, Fan's mother thanked the passers-by repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you so much, Master! If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't know what to do."

The passerby waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome.

Fan Shengmei knew that her parents were suffering in the cold outside the door, and she was so anxious that she quickly called the property management.

The voice of Xiao Zheng from the property management came from the other end of the line: "Hello! Hello."

Fan Shengmei quickly responded: "Hey, Xiao Zheng!"

The property manager, Xiao Zheng, immediately recognized Fan Shengmei's voice and said in surprise, "Miss Fan! So the old couple and the child at the door are your parents! They just told me about this, and I couldn't believe it. Look at your room, how can so many people live in it?"

Fan Shengmei sighed helplessly and explained, "Hey, Xiao Zheng, there's nothing we can do about it. The situation at home is rather special, so please bear with me. Could you please open the door for me right now, please?" Her tone was full of earnestness and anxiety.

However, the property manager Xiao Zheng replied awkwardly: "Oh, Miss Fan, I'm so sorry! I'm afraid I really can't help you with this. According to regulations, we need to verify the owner's identity information before we can open the door. Or you can think of other ways? I'm so sorry!"

Fan Shengmei said to the property manager Xiao Zheng anxiously, "Xiao Zheng, this situation is special. Please be flexible and open the door for them. I promise it won't happen again! I'll sign it when I get off work, okay?"

Xiao Zheng, the property manager, looked embarrassed and shook her head and replied, "Sister Fan, this won't work! You get off work just when we change shifts. If I let them in now, the next shift will definitely tell the leader. Why didn't you leave an access card for your parents? It would be so convenient!"

Fan Shengmei helplessly spread her hands and explained: "I left it, but they forgot to take it. You see it's so cold outside, we can't let them stay out in the cold. Xiao Zheng, just think of it as helping a friend, okay?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng from the property management smiled bitterly and responded, "Sister Fan, please don't flatter me. How dare I be your friend? Although the owners of 2201, 2203 and 2204 don't regard us as friends, they at least send us Christmas gifts during festivals. I'm sorry, I really can't take the risk for you this time."
