I'm in love

The property manager Xiao Zheng refused to open the door with an extremely firm attitude. Fan Shengmei had no choice but to buy some food and hurried back, taking them upstairs.

Mother Fan took out thirty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Fan Shengmei, asking her to buy some eggs and milk.

At this moment, Qu Xiaoxiao's figure suddenly appeared in Fan Ma's mind.

Mother Fan said quickly, "Xiao Mei, there's something I forgot to tell you. I've asked around for you. It's the girl who lives next door to you and drove the car last night. She has agreed to lend you money!"

Mother Fan continued to urge, "She said that as long as you ask, no matter how much you want to borrow, it's fine. You should go and borrow some money from her right away, and pay her back as soon as you get your salary next month. I've already made arrangements with her about this."

Fan Shengmei walked out in silence... When she recalled that her mother had asked her to borrow money from Qu Xiaoxiao, she was filled with doubts and confusion. What was Qu Xiaoxiao's intention? Did she want to humiliate her? Or did she just want to be a good person because she felt sorry for her? Fan Shengmei pondered these questions blankly, and time passed by, but she could not find the answers. After a while, she felt a dry and painful throat, and her heart was full of grievances and sorrows, and tears could not stop rolling in her eyes.

At this time, Qiu Yingying came back from get off work and walked into the 22nd floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw Fan Shengmei standing there motionless, with a blank look in her eyes. Qiu Yingying called softly, "Sister Fan..."

Fan Shengmei rushed into Qiu Yingying's arms as if she had found a life-saving straw and burst into tears. Qiu Yingying was frightened and at a loss, because she had never seen Fan Shengmei lose her composure like this. She patted Fan Shengmei on the back and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Sister Fan, what happened?"

However, Fan Shengmei just shook her head and said with a sob, "Don't ask me anything..." Then, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly let go of Qiu Yingying, and pressed the elevator button.

Qiu Yingying looked at Fan Shengmei who was hurriedly getting ready to go out, and asked curiously, "Sister Fan, where are you going?" Fan Shengmei replied while fixing her hair, "I want to buy some food for my parents. They are old and need additional nutrition." Hearing this, Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I also want to buy some food. Why don't I go with you!" Fan Shengmei looked at her in surprise, but then smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two walked out of the door together, walking side by side on the bustling street. The sun shone on them, casting two long shadows. Qiu Yingying excitedly chatted with Fan Shengmei about various delicacies, while Fan Shengmei listened with a smile and occasionally interjected. Along the way, there was constant laughter and joy, as if all the troubles were thrown behind.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of a supermarket. When they pushed open the door, a dazzling array of goods came into view. Qiu Yingying excitedly took Fan Shengmei's hand and went straight to the food area. She shuttled between the shelves like a happy little bird, picking out her favorite snacks. Fan Shengmei carefully selected food that suited her parents' tastes and carefully compared the nutritional content of different brands.

As time went by, the shopping cart was gradually filled with all kinds of delicious food. Qiu Yingying looked at the full cart of food with satisfaction, her heart full of anticipation. Fan Shengmei thought about how happy her parents would be when they received the food, and her face was filled with a happy smile. Finally, they left the supermarket with their shopping bags, feeling satisfied.

On the way home, Qiu Yingying was still enthusiastically sharing the joy of shopping with Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei thanked her and said, "Thank you for accompanying me today. It feels so good to have you by my side." Qiu Yingying smiled and shook her head, saying, "We are good sisters, and it is only right for us to accompany each other!" After that, the two smiled at each other and continued to walk towards home with brisk steps.

Tan Zongming said in a cold tone: "You should leave Shanghai and go back to your foreign country tomorrow." Xiao Qian hurried back to Shanghai happily, thinking that she could see the Tan Zongming she had been thinking about day and night, but what she waited for was such a cruel word.

Xiao Qian's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Why? I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry."

Tan Zongming was furious, his voice rising eight degrees: "Do I need to tell you about the good things you did with Mr. Zeng in Beijing? I have always loved you like my own sister, but what about you? Xiaoqian, how did you repay me?"

Tan Zongming became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he couldn't help but yell, "I never thought that I would raise such an ungrateful person in these years! You actually went and hurt the person I love the most!"

Facing Tan Zongming's sudden roar, Xiao Qian was completely stunned... She stood there blankly, her mind was blank. It turned out that he already knew everything, knew about the things between her and the old man... Thinking of this, Xiao Qian suddenly became a little at a loss.

Because she really couldn't bear to leave Shanghai, Xiao Qian had no choice but to turn to her mother for help, hoping that she could help her speak well of her in front of Tan Zongming.

Xiao Qian looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and said in a choked voice, "Mom, I really know I was wrong. Can you please help me plead with Brother Tan?" She clutched Aunt Tong's clothes tightly, her eyes full of pleading.

"I will never bother Miss Lin again! Brother Tan, please don't let me leave Shanghai..." Xiao Qian burst into tears, her body trembling slightly. She knew she had made a big mistake this time, but deep down she couldn't accept the fact that she was expelled from Shanghai.

Aunt Tong looked at her daughter distressedly, and couldn't help but burst into tears. She fell to her knees and begged Tan Zongming, "Mr. Tan, I only have this one precious daughter. She finally came back to accompany me. How can you bear to let her leave again?"

Tan Zongming looked at the mother and daughter expressionlessly. Although he felt a little pity in his heart, he was still deeply angry and disappointed with what Xiaoqian had done. He took a deep breath and responded firmly: "If you don't want to leave Shanghai, it's okay, but from now on, you are not allowed to appear in front of me again!"

Then, Tan Zongming continued, "From today on, all of Tong Qian's expenses will have nothing to do with the Tan Group. Immediately deactivate all cards under her and Aunt Tong's names!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Xiao Qian in shock and Aunt Tong heartbroken.

Xiao Qian widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Then how are we going to survive, Brother Tan! Will our basic livelihood become a problem?" She tried to grab the corner of Tan Zongming's clothes, but was ruthlessly thrown away.

"No! I don't want to leave here..." Xiao Qian collapsed on the ground in despair, her cries echoing throughout the room.

Tan Zongming stopped, turned around and gave Xiao Qian a cold look, then said sternly, "Get out! You used my money to hurt the person I love? If you dare to do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Finally, he looked at Aunt Tong with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Aunt Tong, since you have decided to leave, I will not say any more. You should pack up and leave as soon as possible..." After that, he walked out of the room without looking back.

Xiao Qian was dragged to the gate by several strong security guards, and Aunt Tong just took back the things that originally belonged to her... Seeing her disappointing daughter, Aunt Tong could only sigh helplessly.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter quietly returned to the rental house that had been uninhabited for a long time. As soon as they opened the door, a stale smell hit them. The small room, which was less than 50 square meters, seemed particularly cramped. Perhaps because no one had taken care of it for too long, cockroaches and spider webs were everywhere in the house, making it a mess.

Xiao Qian looked around the room with eyes wide open, and then glared at her mother standing beside her. As someone who always spent money like water and was used to a luxurious life, how could she bear to live in such an environment? Without saying a word, she quickly snatched the wallet from her mother's hand and took out all the remaining several thousand yuan in it.

"Tell me, you have been the housekeeper of the Tan family for so many years, but you only earn such a little money. What's the use of it?" Xiao Qian questioned her mother angrily.

"Hmph! A useless person like you only deserves to live in a shabby house like this! I don't want to suffer with you!" Then, after Xiao Qian said this viciously, she left only a few hundred yuan to Aunt Tong and walked away in her high heels, completely losing the look she had when she was showing weakness to the security guard at the door just now.

Aunt Tong stared blankly at her daughter walking away, her heart filled with despair and helplessness. However, life had to go on, so she had no choice but to start cleaning up the messy room.
