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

After learning the news of Fan Shengmei's father's death, none of the neighbors on the 22nd floor, except Qiu Yingying, planned to attend the funeral.

On the one hand, their relationship with Fan Shengmei was not that close, and on the other hand, they were attending a funeral, which was really unlucky.

So they used the excuse of being busy with work and did not plan to go to Fan Shengmei's hometown to attend the funeral.

Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao are both wealthy people. Since no one was going, they decided to give a red envelope as a gift. They did this because they were all neighbors and would see each other every day.

Of course, Zhou Chen didn't even want to give a gift. Anyway, his relationship with Fan Shengmei was not very good, so he didn't want to get involved in Fan Shengmei's family affairs.

Although the gift money was not much, Guan Juer also wanted to give it so that it would not be too awkward when they met in the future. However, she certainly supported the decision made by Zhou Chen, the head of the family.

"Please, if you all don't go, then I'll be the only one left.

But I don’t even know where Sister Fan’s house is. What should I do?

Zhou Chen, why don't you come with me? You can deliver our regards on behalf of the 22nd Floor, and this will also help ease the relationship between you and Sister Fan."

Haha, Qiu Yingying began to persuade Zhou Chen, and even suggested easing the relationship between herself and Fan Shengmei.

Zhou Chen was speechless at this and interrupted directly: "Hey, Yingying, I don't need you to morally blackmail me, and I don't need you to make decisions for me out of kindness.

When did I ever say that I wanted to ease the relationship with Fan Shengmei? Can you please stop taking it for granted?

I know what kind of person Fan Shengmei is better than you. I didn't stop you from contacting Fan Shengmei, and I don't need you to be a peacemaker for me. Let's go our separate ways.

Just because you have a good relationship with Fan Shengmei doesn't mean I have to have a good relationship with her. Just take care of yourself."

Qiu Yingying wanted to persuade him again, as she felt that Zhou Chen was too prejudiced against Fan Shengmei.

As two people she cares about, she certainly hopes that their relationship can get better so that she doesn't have to be caught in the middle.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't appreciate it. Instead, he continued, "Yingying, since you want to go, I won't stop you. But I want to remind you that when you get there, you should watch more and do less.

What does it mean to watch more and do less? It means to take a closer look at the shitty things that the Fan family is doing. Only after you have experienced it yourself will you know how troublesome the Fan family's affairs are, and only then will you understand how wise it is to stay away from the Fan family.

As for doing less, it means that you should have your own thoughts. The Fan family is a bunch of scoundrels. They even have to borrow money from you to hold a funeral. Then, they might think you are stupid and try to cheat you out of your money.

You should understand what I mean. Don't lend money to others as soon as they ask for it. If you know it's a scam and still jump in, then you are a big fool.

Don't think I'm trying to stir up trouble. Think about Fan Shengmei's brother and sister-in-law coming to Shanghai. You should know that they've had conflicts with us before, which means you might not be welcome this time."

Qiu Yingying frowned when she heard this, and Guan Juer also took the opportunity to persuade her, "Yingying, I think what Zhou Chen said makes sense, otherwise you should not go.

We'll send Sister Fan a red envelope in the group later to show our appreciation. I believe Sister Fan will understand us."

Who knew that Qiu Yingying didn't listen to Guan Juer's words. Since she wanted to go, let her go. Only when she really suffered a loss, maybe she would learn her lesson, maybe she would realize that staying away from the Fan family was the right choice.

The next day, Qiu Yingying set out alone to Fan Shengmei's hometown, and she found Fan Shengmei's home according to the navigation.

Just as Zhou Chen said, Qiu Yingying's arrival was not welcome. You know, when they were in Shanghai, they called the police and almost arrested Fan Shengmei's sister-in-law. Therefore, Fan Shengmei's sister-in-law did not give her a good look when she saw Qiu Yingying coming.

It was only when Fan Shengmei showed up that the awkwardness was alleviated. Qiu Yingying pulled Fan Shengmei aside and said, "Sister Fan, I'm the only one here this time. Everyone else is busy.

You also know that Guan Guan is pregnant. It is not suitable for a pregnant woman to come to such occasions. It is unlucky.

Besides, Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao are also busy with work and can't spare the time, so I'm the only one representing the neighbors on the 22nd floor to attend your father's funeral. I hope you don't blame me."

Facing Qiu Yingying's words, Fan Shengmei said in a hoarse voice: "Silly girl, how could I blame you? We are good sisters. I am already very happy that you can come.

Besides, Andy and the others have sent red envelopes, and I have already received their kindness.

Actually, it would be better if you didn't come. You know our family situation. My brother and sister-in-law are not good people. You don't have to take it to heart if they just gave you a cold shoulder."

Qiu Yingying said that she understood. She came here entirely for Fan Shengmei's sake. As for Fan Shengmei's brother and sister-in-law, she didn't care.

"Sister Fan, I understand what you mean. You have to accept your loss with all your heart. I haven't seen you for just a few days and your voice has become hoarse from crying. You have to take care of yourself."

Fan Shengmei nodded, thinking that Qiu Yingying might not have eaten yet, so she took Qiu Yingying to eat.

Who knew that before they finished their meal, Fan Shengmei's brother Fan Shengying started to make trouble again because Qiu Yingying's arrival gave him an opportunity.

From Fan's mother, I learned about Qiu Yingying's personality. She is a weak and easily bullied person.

Seeing that she has such a good relationship with her sister, Fan Shengying certainly hopes to make some money from Qiu Yingying.

In other words, Zhou Chen's words came true, and the other party was targeting Qiu Yingying.

"Xiaomei, I went to the cemetery this morning and found that a plot of land there costs 30,000 yuan. After deducting this 30,000 yuan, plus the cremation fee and the relatives' banquet, we are completely broke.

Why don't you borrow some money from a friend? You can pay it back slowly after my dad's funeral is over."

After saying that, he glanced at Qiu Yingying, and his meaning was very clear. He hoped that Fan Shengmei could borrow money from Qiu Yingying.

Of course, what Fan Shengying said was a lie. The entire funeral was extremely simple and shoddy, and he secretly withheld half of the money.

The purpose of his saying this was to hope that Fan Shengmei would borrow money from Qiu Yingying. After all, she wouldn't have to pay it back herself, so for him, the more money he could make, the better. After all, it was Qiu Yingying who offered it to him.

Of course Fan Shengmei refused. She had secretly borrowed 20,000 yuan from Qiu Yingying and had not yet paid it back. The money was for future rent, living expenses, etc.

On the other hand, it was just an excuse to inform the neighbors on the 22nd floor about her father's funeral. How could she ask to borrow money at this time?

"They're eating our meals, but I haven't seen any gift money yet. They're not coming here to eat for free, are they?"

Fan Shengying's words were very unpleasant, and Fan Shengmei was even more speechless. Even if there was gift money, it was under her name and it was for herself. What does it have to do with you?

What's more, isn't it embarrassing for you to say in front of Qiu Yingying that someone is eating for free and asking for a gift?

So the two siblings immediately started arguing again, and in such an occasion, it can be said that they completely disregarded their face.

Fan Shengmei said that she would spend whatever money she had and would not borrow money from anyone. Fan Shengying said that even the simplest funeral ceremony would not be enough and hoped that Fan Shengmei could lend her money.

In a word, all the pressure is put on Fan Shengmei, which is forcing Fan Shengmei.

Looking at the embarrassed Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying almost asked for money, but then she held back because she thought of what Zhou Chen said before she came.

Qiu Yingying frowned. She didn't expect that it was just as Zhou Chen said. Fan Shengying started to make trouble as soon as she arrived. She once again saw the shameful face of the Fan family.

I once again witnessed what Zhou Chen called a trap. Before I even finished my meal, someone came to try to take my money.

Although it was under the pretext of letting Fan Shengmei borrow it, Zhou Chen really saw through everything about the Fan family.

Thinking about what Zhou Chen said, if I lend them money, I would be a fool. Maybe I really shouldn't come here to attend the funeral. Isn't this embarrassing for myself?
