Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

In the next few days, Fan Shengmei was bombarded with phone calls from home every day, and her parents urged her to give money every day.

Unfortunately, Fan Shengmei really has no money left. She has already spent all her salary this month, and even borrowed 20,000 yuan from Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying. However, the money she invested in her family didn't make any difference.

Fan Shengmei wanted to contact Qu Lianjie, the rich second generation, hoping that he could help her. Unfortunately, every time she called, either no one answered or he was on a business trip. She didn't know whether he really had something to do or was just avoiding her.

This made Fan Shengmei dare not force too much, for fear of breaking up with Qu Lianjie, which would cause the big fish to get off the hook, and then the loss would outweigh the gain.

The Fan family saw that they could no longer get money from Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengying, who was forced to come to his door by creditors every day, was a very timid person. Afraid of being beaten, he simply left his son to the old couple and then ran away with his wife.

Haha, it is obvious that they are not responsible people. At such an old age, they can solve the problem by borrowing some money from relatives and friends or taking out a loan from the bank, but they just think of running away. You can imagine how much of a failure their family is.

Fan Shengmei's depressed mood soon attracted the attention of other neighbors on the 22nd floor. Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao, who didn't know what was going on, soon learned what had happened from Guan Juer.

Thinking about what happened a few days ago when Fan Shengmei was drunk with other people, Andy decided to lend a helping hand. Even Qu Xiaoxiao, who usually didn't get along with Fan Shengmei, wanted to do her bit to help.

"Zhou Chen, everyone has expressed their opinions, shouldn't you say something?

Just now Guan Guan said that Fan Shengmei still needs 3 yuan. Although I know that you and Fan Shengmei don't get along, you are neighbors living on the same floor. Ten thousand yuan should not be a big deal to you, right?

What do you think if we each contribute 10,000 yuan to help Fan Shengmei through this difficult time?

Qu Xiaoxiao, who was discussing countermeasures at Andy's house, immediately pointed the finger at Zhou Chen. Although the money was not much for them, it represented their good intentions.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen shook his head and rejected Qu Xiaoxiao's proposal. He would not waste his own money.

"Come on, Zhou Chen, you're also a wealthy second-generation rich kid. Ten thousand yuan shouldn't be a big deal to you, right? Can you show some sympathy?"

Qu Xiaoxiao actually came to accuse him. Zhou Chen was about to explain, but Guan Juer next to him defended Zhou Chen and said, "Qu Xiaoxiao, Sister Andy, you all misunderstood Zhou Chen. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he has his own concerns.

You don't understand what's going on at all. Zhou Chen thinks our help will only harm Sister Fan. Sometimes not helping is the best way to help Fan Shengmei."

Guan Juer's words made Andy and the others even more confused, so Guan Juer then told them about the Fan family's preference for boys over girls, and how her brother got into trouble and put all the financial pressure on Fan Shengmei.

"Now you should understand, although on the surface you lent money to support Fan Shengmei, in reality it only fueled the greed of the Fan family.

Because in their opinion, squeezing money from Fan Shengmei is easier than making money themselves, so their oppression of Fan Shengmei will only become more severe in the future.

Guan Guan and Qiu Yingying have already lent Fan Shengmei 20,000 yuan. If we each lend 10,000 yuan, that will be 50,000 yuan.

Even if you can resolve the problem, the pressure of paying the money will eventually fall on Fan Shengmei. Don't you have to pay back the money you borrowed?

With Fan Shengmei's salary, she's always living paycheck to paycheck even without borrowing money. How many years do you plan to let her pay back this money?"

Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao were both smart people. They quickly understood what Zhou Chen meant. The more money they lent to Fan Shengmei, the greater the pressure on her. It was definitely impossible to expect Fan's family to help pay back the money.

If the borrowed money does not have to be repaid, it will instead encourage Fan Shengmei's greed. If anything happens to their family in the future, the first thing Fan Shengmei thinks of is to ask them for help, which is not what they want to see.

There is a saying that goes "A little bit of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is repaid with a grudge." When something becomes a habit, one day it will become a sin if you don't lend them money.

Just like Fan Shengmei now, she is used to being sucked dry by her family members. If one day they can’t suck her blood, they will scold Fan Shengmei for being unfilial.

"I understand what Zhou Chen means. You want us not to lend money to Fan Shengmei. If the Fan family can't get money from Fan Shengmei, then they can only find a way on their own.

Since they are a family, of course they will handle any problems together. We are all adults, and a living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine. There will always be a solution.

Andy, I think Zhou Chen is right. We are not short of money, but we cannot help the evil.

Let the Fan family resolve their own affairs, and we will just pretend we don’t know anything about it.”

Andy also felt that what Qu Xiaoxiao said made sense, but as an orphan, she found it difficult to understand. They were all family, so didn’t they have any family affection at all? Why did things become like this?

Seeing Andy seemed a little hesitant, Zhou Chen immediately said: "Andy, you just came back from abroad, there are many things you don't understand.

You can think about what happened to your brother Xiao Ming. Some people can even abandon their families. You should know that some people really have no bottom line.

We understand your intention to help Fan Shengmei, but I still have to say something. After all, we are just strangers living on the same floor.

To put it nicely, you are my neighbor. To put it bluntly, who do you think you are and why do you care about other people’s affairs?

Fan Shengmei hasn't even said a word, but we rush over to help her. Do you know what face is?

Anyway, that's all I have to say. I can't do such a thing. You can do whatever you want."

Haha, it’s impossible to ask Zhou Chen to help Fan Shengmei. He won’t be so despicable as to make himself uncomfortable in front of others.

Given Fan Shengmei's arrogant and face-conscious personality, people might not buy it. So why should I cause trouble for myself?

Zhou Chen left Andy's house. Guan Juer and the others discussed it for a while and finally decided to follow Zhou Chen's advice.

Andy and the others decided to pretend they didn't know about the Fan family's affairs, perhaps to preserve Fan Shengmei's last bit of dignity. They believed that Fan Shengmei would be able to handle it.

Since Fan Shengmei didn't make her family affairs public, it would be inappropriate for them to expose her scars. After all, she was so concerned about her reputation.

Haha, is this the end of the story?

Of course not. Soon everyone on the 22nd floor saw the shameless faces of the Fan family.

Because within two days, Fan's parents, who couldn't make any money in their hometown, ran to Shanghai, under the pretext of hiding from debt, and perhaps also with the intention of testing Fan Shengmei's ability.

Every time Fan Shengmei was asked for money, she would often cry poor to her family. Fan Shengmei's parents wanted to see what kind of life their daughter was living in Shanghai.

Haha, they need to find out whether Fan Shengmei is really out of money, or whether she has money but is unwilling to help her family and her brother out of trouble.
