Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Andy nodded blankly.

“That’s right, I’m also really curious about how you know all this. I’m sure you weren’t around when we met the second time.”

Yang Chu chuckled mischievously and said, "What's so hard to guess? Men around twenty years old mainly flaunt their good looks when they're trying to pick up girls; men around thirty-year-olds mainly look at their abilities; men around thirty-five-year-olds mainly look at their stability; and men around forty-year-olds look at their achievements. That Wei Wei is forty-two years old. When he's trying to pick up girls, he just talks about his experience and achievements. What else can he say?"

Andy didn't know whether to believe Yang Chu's words or not; he just kept staring at Yang Chu.

Yang Chu chuckled mischievously at Andy and said, "Don't look at me like that! I can guess where he'll take you next time we meet!"

Andy, somewhat skeptical of Yang Chu, said, "Fine! Tell me! If you're right, you can do whatever you want to me from now on, and I'll never say a word against it."

When Yang Chu heard Andy make such a bold statement, his lips twitched slightly as he said, "Aren't you going to reconsider? What if I were to sleep with you and someone else in the same bed? Would you still agree to that?"

Andy nodded firmly and said, "I agree! I know my weaknesses very well. If I really can't make up for them, then I won't try to make up for them at all. From now on, I'll listen to you in this regard, and I won't lose out."

Yang Chu hadn't expected that Andy would be so easily fooled. If he had known this would happen, why bother with all the pretense? He could have just used the methods directly.

Seeing Yang Chu in a daze, Andy quickly urged, "Now you can tell me! Where is he going to take me next time?"

Yang Chu sensed the conversation was nearing its end, so he pulled his hand out of Andy's swimsuit and looked at her with a smile, saying, "If she's naive and inexperienced, show her the world's wonders; if she's weathered by life, take her on a carousel. After hearing how you met, I bet he'll take you to a science museum or something similar, and do some childish things."

After hearing this, Andy looked at Yang Chu and nodded solemnly, saying, "Okay, then we'll wait and see. Also, don't think I don't know what you just did. Let me tell you, you pinched me too hard."

After saying that, Andy stood up and slapped Yang Chu across the face, then turned around and went to find Fan Shengmei and the others.

Yang Chu rubbed the spot where he had been hit, wincing as he said, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Ouch... that really hurts!"

Andy only noticed when Yang Chu pulled his hand back. At that time, she was still arguing with Yang Chu, so she didn't react.

The slap Andy gave Yang Chu after he finished speaking was something Andy had planned long ago.

Who told Yang Chu to give her the cold shoulder these past two days! And... Yang Chu really pinched her hard.

When Andy reached the water's edge, Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying gathered around her.

Gan Jing, Jiang Lai, and Xu Li also gathered together.

Yang Chu watched as the seven women split into two groups, and shook his head with amusement. He didn't say anything more, then put his sunglasses back on and lay down on the beach chair.

Back in their room, until they were resting, Jiang Lai and the others didn't ask Yang Chu and Andy what they had talked about.

The next morning, Yang Chu led everyone away from the resort reservoir and back to Joyful Song.

During Yang Chu's vacation, Qu Xiaoxiao's family was completely ruined. Li Yexi got everything she was entitled to and made a start in the real estate industry. All that's left is to develop it slowly.

When Qu's mother and father went completely bankrupt, they divorced. Originally, Qu's father should have taken on all of the Qu family's debts. However, when Qu's mother secretly had someone embezzle public funds, Qu's father caught her red-handed. This gave Qu's father leverage over the case. Of the 4.6 million yuan debt at the time of the divorce, Qu's father assumed 2.6 million yuan, while Qu's mother assumed the remaining 2 million yuan.

Qu's mother could be said to have tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; she failed to abscond with the money and was instead forced to share the debt.

After resolving the divorce proceedings and debt issues, Mr. Qu and Mr. Qu returned to their hometown. Fortunately, Mr. Qu's mother was unwilling to leave the countryside and disliked the noise of the city, so Mr. Qu built a two-story house for her in the countryside. After the company went bankrupt, they returned to his mother's place, at least having a place to stay.

However, Qu's mother's situation was not so good. When Qu's mother and Qu's father got married, Qu's mother's parents disagreed with the marriage. They were so upset that they fell ill and passed away not long after. Qu's mother was left with no relatives and could only move into the apartment that Yao Bin bought for Qu Xiaoxiao in Ode to Joy with Qu Xiaoxiao.

When Yang Chu and the others returned, they saw Qu Xiaoxiao and her mother moving house.

Fan Shengmei saw Qu Xiaoxiao and asked with some surprise, "Xiao Qu, you're back? I thought you weren't coming back! Have you finished dealing with things at home?"

Yang Chu and Jiang Lai, who were in the elevator, heard Fan Shengmei greeting Qu Xiaoxiao and got out of the elevator out of curiosity.

Qu Xiaoxiao's expression darkened when she saw Yang Chu, and she glared at Fan Shengmei, saying angrily, "What's it to you!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao took her mother and went back.

Fan Shengmei was scolded in front of everyone and said angrily, "What kind of person is this! I greeted him kindly and got yelled at."

Andy smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright! You've been driving all this way, aren't you tired? Get some rest, you have to go to work tomorrow!"

Yang Chu smiled and said to Fan Shengmei, "She's here for me, it has nothing to do with you."

"Coming for you?"

Before Fan Shengmei could figure out what was going on, Guan Juer tugged at Fan Shengmei's clothes and shook her head at her.

Seeing that Guan Juer was telling her not to ask any more questions, Fan Shengmei smiled at Yang Chu and said, "In that case, I won't ask anymore. Thank you for taking care of us this time, Mr. Yang. We'll treat you to a meal when we have time, but we can only offer you something simple, so please don't mind."

Yang Chu smiled and nodded, then he and Jiang Lai returned to the twenty-third floor.

Yang Chu rested for two days at Ode to Joy when he suddenly heard arguing downstairs.

Fearing something might happen to Andy, Yang Chu hurriedly went to the 22nd floor.

Upon reaching the 22nd floor, they saw Yao Bin and Qu Xiaoxiao arguing.

Yang Chu was about to turn around and leave when Andy's door suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer also came out of their homes.

Yang Chu shook his head speechlessly, thinking to himself: If no man steps forward, you guys won't be locked up at home forever, will you?
