Urban Film and Television: Being taken home by Xu Hongdou at the beginning
Chapter 154 Doubts
The next few days were calm and nothing special happened. However, Tang Xin suddenly called Ye Fan and told him that the verdicts on Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou had been issued.
Because of Ye Fan's relationship, Tang Xin used her personal connections to speed up the trial process. In the end, Lin Youyou was sentenced to eight years in prison, and her two brothers were sentenced to six years each. As for Xu Huanshan, since he was not aware of the case and the circumstances were relatively minor, he was only sentenced to one and a half years of probation.
Ye Fan was very satisfied with the verdict. He thanked Tang Xin and hung up the phone.
At this time, Andy and Guan Juer were standing together at the door of Ye Fan's house. Guan Juer looked at Andy nervously and said, "Sister Andy, do we really have to leave our things at Brother Xiaofan's house? Isn't this inappropriate?"
Andy couldn't help laughing when he saw Guan Juer being so cautious: "Guan Guan, you don't have to be so cautious. Xiao Fan is actually a good person. As long as you spend more time with him, you will understand this."
After hearing what Andy said, Guan Juer could only nod slightly to show her understanding.
As they were talking, Andy, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying came out of the elevator pulling several suitcases.
As soon as Ye Fan finished the call, he heard some noise at the door, but he heard Andy's voice from inside, so he hurried to the door to see what was going on.
"Crack!"
The door opened suddenly, startling Andy, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying who were about to open the door.
Especially Andy, if she hadn't looked up and saw Ye Fan standing at the door, she would probably have screamed out.
Andy patted her chest and took a breath, then looked at Ye Fan and said, "Brother, you almost scared me to death when you opened the door suddenly." After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan didn't quite understand the situation, so he pointed at Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer behind Andy and said, "Sister, what are you doing? Why are you carrying so much luggage?"
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying's faces became somewhat embarrassed and scared. They looked at each other and muttered in their hearts: "Didn't Sister Andy already tell Brother Xiaofan about this? How come Brother Xiaofan doesn't seem to know anything about this situation!"
Hearing this, Andy couldn't help but pat her head, with a trace of annoyance on her face. She thought to herself, "When I was chatting with Ye Fan that day, I was so moved that I only remembered to ask him for help, but forgot to tell him what it was. But it's not too late to tell him now." So, Andy said directly, "Hey, little brother, I came to ask you for help that day. In fact, the matter is very simple. It's just to temporarily leave Guan Guan and his luggage at your house for a few days. It should be no problem, right?" After saying that, Andy looked at Ye Fan with expectant eyes, wanting to know how he would answer.
Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that it was just such a small matter. He didn't mean to embarrass Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying at all, but smiled and stepped aside, saying, "Okay, bring your things in."
Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were relieved and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Fan's words. They quickly picked up their luggage and walked into the house quickly, their hearts full of gratitude.
Ye Fan also took this opportunity to quietly ask Andy: "Sister, what's going on?"
Andy was somewhat touched by Ye Fan's actions. She knew that Ye Fan was giving her face just now, and that he was asking in a low voice out of consideration for her face in front of her friends.
Andy thought about it and felt that he should explain the situation to Ye Fan, so he pulled Ye Fan over and explained in a low voice.
After listening to this, Ye Fan finally understood that Andy did this to help Fan Shengmei solve the problem. Since this was the case, he didn't say anything more. After all, Andy was very important to him, and he was willing to support Andy's decision.
Moreover, this was originally Fan Shengmei's personal problem, but now two roommates came to help, so Ye Fan would not be so petty as to bully a little girl.
After understanding what happened, Ye Fan pulled Andy to sit on the sofa, then he took out three bottles of water from the refrigerator and handed them to Andy, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying respectively.
"Sister, drink some water first. I'll find a place to put your luggage."
Ye Fan turned around and left the living room after he finished speaking. He placed Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying's luggage in the corner of the living room. Fortunately, his house was large enough that it would not feel crowded after putting down several suitcases.
When Ye Fan finished everything and walked to the side of the three people, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer quickly stood up and thanked Ye Fan a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Brother Xiaofan."
Ye Fan looked at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying with a gentle smile on his face: "It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite."
Seeing Ye Fan's smile, Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up, as if she was fascinated, with a crazy look on her face. Guan Juer was the first to notice the problem, and quickly pulled Qiu Yingying's clothes, whispering: "Yingying!"
Qiu Yingying came back to her senses and realized her own gaffe. Her face suddenly turned red to her ears and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel amused, but seeing that the two girls were very thin-skinned, he stopped teasing them.
Afterwards, Ye Fan started chatting with Andy. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer listened for a while and felt that they were a little redundant here, so Guan Juer gently pulled Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying looked at her and immediately understood what she meant.
"Brother Xiaofan, Sister Andy, we will go downstairs first and will not disturb you from talking about business." Guan Juer said with a smile.
Ye Fan nodded, and Andy waved his hand to show that he understood. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer turned and left, leaving Ye Fan and Andy to continue the conversation.
Ye Fan watched the two people leaving and thought to himself, "They should like these desserts." So he stood up, walked to the dining table nearby, picked up a bag there, and then walked to Guan Juer and handed it to her.
"This is what Fan Shengmei brought up yesterday. I don't usually like desserts, so you guys can have it." Ye Fan said softly with a gentle smile on his face.
After saying that, Ye Fan stuffed the bag into Guan Juer's hands without caring whether she agreed or not.
When Ye Fan touched her hand, Guan Juer couldn't help but feel shy, and her face turned red like a ripe apple. She lowered her head and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Brother Xiaofan." Her voice was as low as a mosquito, but full of sincerity.
After saying that, Guan Juer directly grabbed Qiu Yingying's hand and quickly left Ye Fan's house.
After leaving the house, Guan Juer finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but every time she faced Ye Fan, she would feel nervous and her heart would beat faster, as if a little deer was running around in her heart. This feeling made her both excited and scared.
Qiu Yingying was suddenly pulled out by Guan Juer and looked at her with a puzzled look on her face. She thought Guan Juer's behavior today was very strange, so she quickly asked: "Guan Guan, what's wrong with you? I haven't had time to say goodbye to her yet, why are you in such a hurry to pull me away?"
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Guan Juer's face flushed slightly. She didn't know how to answer, so she quickly changed the subject: "Sister Fan is still waiting for us to help clean up the room, let's go quickly."
After hearing this, Qiu Yingying no longer bothered about it and immediately followed Guan Juer's pace.
Ye Fan looked at Guan Juer's hurriedly leaving back, couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, then turned to Andy and said: "Sister, this little Guan is really interesting."
Andy immediately warned Ye Fan: "Are you in love with her? Let me tell you, Xiaofan, Hongdou specifically told me to keep an eye on you and not let you flirt with others."
Ye Fan asked in surprise: "Sister, when did you collude with Hongdou? And, am I that kind of person?"
Andy smiled proudly: "I just want to remind you that Hongdou has been in touch with me recently. I really admire that girl. Now she has become a household name."
When Ye Fan heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of longing in his heart. Thinking of his two girlfriends, he couldn't help but sigh that fate had played tricks on him, and now he could only live a life as pure and abstinent as a monk.
At this moment, Andy suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Ye Fan: "By the way, Xiaofan, a few days ago I saw a girl who looked like Jiang Lai came to see you. What is your relationship?"
Ye Fan never expected that Andy would see Wang Manni when she came to see him. But he had no special relationship with Wang Manni, so he explained calmly: "Oh, you mean her, she is just an ordinary employee of mine. She came to me that day to report on her work. As for her resemblance to Jiang Lai, it was just a coincidence. I was really shocked when I saw her for the first time."
Ye Fan's words were half true and half false, but Andy nodded slightly after hearing them, indicating that he accepted the explanation.
While the two were talking, Andy's cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Fan Shengmei calling, so she answered the call without hesitation.
"Xiaomei, what do you want to talk to me about?" Andy looked at the caller ID on the phone screen and answered the call puzzled.
"Sister Andy, my friends and I want to invite you to dinner. Are you free? Can Ye Fan come with us? It's a good opportunity to thank him." Fan Shengmei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Andy was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he still smiled and replied, "No problem for me. As for Xiaofan, I'll ask him for you."
Andy hung up the phone, looked up at Ye Fan who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fan, Fan Shengmei invited a few of us to dinner downstairs. She asked me to ask if you are free. She said she wanted to thank you for your help that day!"
Ye Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Fan Shengmei was a little abnormal when she came to apologize that day. Her behavior at that time was indeed a little strange, which made him have some doubts in his heart. However, he still nodded and expressed his willingness to go together.
Seeing Ye Fan agreed, Andy sent a message back to Fan Shengmei, telling her that Ye Fan would go with her. Then, she turned to Ye Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, since you agreed, let's go together. Maybe we can meet some new friends!"
Ye Fan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know why Fan Shengmei suddenly wanted to treat him to a meal, he decided to follow her to see what this woman wanted to do. After all, he always felt that her behavior was a little unusual.
"Well, okay then, sister. When are we going?" Ye Fan asked Andy.
"She didn't say the exact time. I'm going downstairs to change my clothes. I'll call you when we leave." After saying that, Andy stood up and prepared to leave.
After Ye Fan sent Andy out, he returned to the living room and sat down, thinking that he should first find out about Fan Shengmei's recent situation. So he got up and went to the study, turned on the computer and began to search for information about Fan Shengmei.
After some searching and analysis, Ye Fan found that Fan Shengmei's recent living conditions seemed a little abnormal. From her consumption records, almost all of her expenses were completed through credit cards. It can be said that she was living beyond her means and completely relying on credit cards to get by. This made Ye Fan a little confused, wondering what difficulties Fan Shengmei had encountered.
After thinking for a while, Ye Fan checked Fan Shengmei's chat records again. Finally, his hard work paid off and Ye Fan found the clue.
It turns out that Fan Shengmei's recent misery is entirely due to her brother, who got addicted to gambling and lost all his savings, and also owed a lot of loan sharks. All the money Fan Shengmei earned was used to fill this bottomless pit, but it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge debt.
After reading all this, Ye Fan thought carefully. He suddenly thought that Fan Shengmei approached him so deliberately. Could it be that she wanted to borrow money from him? The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but he would have to wait until the evening to find out what the situation was.
Soon Ye Fan received a call from Andy, who said that she was waiting for him downstairs and told him to just come down.
Ye Fan didn't change his clothes after hanging up the phone. It was sunny outside, and the cropped pants and short-sleeved shirt he was wearing were just right for him.
Ye Fan walked to the door, put on a pair of flip-flops and walked out of the house.
After coming downstairs, Ye Fan saw Andy and the other two, and then walked towards them.
Andy was speechless when he looked at Ye Fan's clothes, especially the pair of slippers on his feet.
"Xiao Fan, why don't you change your clothes? We are going to eat Western food."
Ye Fan smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, sister. How can he not let me in?"
Seeing this, Andy could only smile bitterly and nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Ye Fan said hello to Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, and they got in the car together and headed for the agreed restaurant.
Along the way, Ye Fan talked and laughed with Andy and others. Seeing that Andy was not familiar with Shanghai, Ye Fan introduced Andy to the buildings and scenery they encountered along the way. Soon they arrived at their destination.
Ye Fan found this place familiar after getting off the car. After thinking for a while, he realized that this was Jiang Lai's Gray Whale Western Restaurant. The consumption here is not low. Would Fan Shengmei treat us here?
With doubts in his heart, Ye Fan accompanied the three women into the restaurant.
