Chapter 968 Sharing the past

"I'm back to Ode to Joy." Guan Ju'er returned to 2202 and hurriedly sent a message to Zhao Qiping.

"Just go back. What can you eat with your parents?" Zhao Qiping replied quickly.

"food."

The two chatted for a while.

Guan Ju'er didn't say anything about the blind date.

"Qu Xiaoxiao made an appointment with me at dinner before." Zhao Qiping said what worried Guan Ju'er instead, "I refused."

Previously, when Guan Ju'er and her parents attended a blind date dinner, Qu Xiaoxiao asked Zhao Qiping to have dinner together.

"Sorry, I have something to do at the hospital and I can't leave." Zhao Qiping made an excuse and refused.

Originally, Zhao Qiping wanted to say: "I have a girlfriend."

But I remembered what Guan Ju'er said last night, "Qu Xiaoxiao loves to steal other people's boyfriends. Qu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Yingying also stole Zhou Qiang before."

Therefore, Zhao Qiping made a different excuse.

"That's how Qu Xiaoxiao likes to steal other people's boyfriends." Guan Ju'er was very unhappy.

"Qu Xiaoxiao probably doesn't know about our affairs yet. Guan Guan, would you like to make an appointment to treat some of the neighbors of Ode to Joy to have a meal?"

"Okay." Guan Ju'er agreed directly.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, but I have to be on duty tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow. I will book a restaurant in advance for lunch the day after tomorrow and treat your neighbors to dinner."

"Then I'll tell Yingying and Sister Fan in advance."

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Guan Juer runs with Andy.

"Sister Andy, are you free at noon tomorrow?"

"If the BOSS didn't summon him, he should be free. What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Andy was in a good mood.

"Well, Dr. Zhao and I want to treat our neighbors on the 22nd floor to dinner." Guan Ju'er blushed again when he spoke.

"Invite you to dinner?" Andy responded, a little surprised: "Are you with Dr. Zhao?"

"Yes." Guan Ju'er nodded shyly.

"This is a good thing. I will definitely go." Andy agreed readily.

Not a moment later.

Zhou Qiang caught up from behind.

"Brother Qiang!" Guan Ju'er called to Zhou Qiang.

"Is there something wrong with Guan Guan?" Zhou Qiang slowed down and ran with Andy and Guan Ju'er.

"What about that? Dr. Zhao and I are going to treat everyone to dinner tomorrow at noon. Are you and Yingying free?"

"Are you together? I'm free, I'm sure." Zhou Qiang happily agreed.

Guan Juer finished his run and returned to 2202.

"Sister Fan." Guan Ju'er invited Fan Shengmei.

"When did we get together?" Fan Shengmei was also happy for Guan Ju'er.

"That's right." Guan Ju'er didn't finish his words.

Qiu Yingying opened the door and came in.

"Guan Guan, are you with Dr. Zhao? That's great, you didn't let Qu Xiaoxiao succeed!" Qiu Yingying got the news from Zhou Qiang and ran down in a hurry without having breakfast.

"Yeah." Guan Ju'er nodded, "Dr. Zhao and I."

Guan Juer talked about her and Zhao Qiping.

Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying listened with gossipy faces.

After listening, Qiu Yingying turned to Fan Shengmei, "Sister Fan, when will you and Handsome Wang get together?"

"We?" Fan Shengmei was stunned.

Ever since he learned that Fan Shengmei's house was rented, Wang Baichuan felt that he had been cheated and had not contacted Fan Shengmei for several days.

I used to contact him many times a day, but in the past few days, I haven’t received a single phone call or WeChat message.

Wang Baichuan's abnormal changes made Fan Shengmei feel uneasy.

In fact, Fan Shengmei didn't like Wang Baichuan, so she shouldn't feel uncomfortable.

But Wang Baichuan's lack of contact still made Fan Shengmei restless.

This shows that even if it is a spare tire, it will have an impact if it suddenly loses contact.

What's more, Wang Baichuan is not just a spare tire in Fan Shengmei's heart.

"We can't." Fan Shengmei shook her head.

Fan Shengmei still looked down on Wang Baichuan.

"Why is it impossible?" Qiu Yingying asked.

"He doesn't have a house." Fan Shengmei said.

"But Dr. Zhao doesn't have a house either." Qiu Yingying said.

Qiu Yingying is too straight-tempered, and she doesn't worry about Guan Ju'er being unhappy when she hears it.

"Yes, Sister Fan, I think it doesn't matter whether you have a house or not, as long as you like it, it's enough." Guan Ju'er continued. She was not unhappy and was considered a generous girl.

Guan Ju'er didn't care whether Zhao Qiping had a house or not, he just wanted to be with Zhao Qiping.

"It's not the same thing. Guan Guan is still young and can still afford to wait. I am already thirty, I can't afford to wait, and I don't dare to wait anymore." Fan Shengmei smiled bitterly and returned to her room.

Fan Shengmei was in a complicated mood. She looked at her phone and didn't see Wang Baichuan contacting her.

noon.

Guan Juer bought a lot of buns at the bun shop, packed some side dishes, and took them to the hospital.

"The steamed buns sold at Brother Qiang's steamed bun shop are still delicious." Zhao Qiping ordered a few more dishes and ate them with Guan Ju'er in the cafeteria.

"Yeah, I eat these buns basically every day."

"Come on, eat more meat." Zhao Qiping helped Guan Ju'er pick up the meat.

"Do you think I'm thin?" Guan Ju'er also joked with Zhao Qiping.

"Where are you thin?" Zhao Qiping used his 'clairvoyant eyes' to scan Guan Ju'er's whole body.

"What are you looking at?" Guan Ju'er blushed.

Zhao Qiping smiled and said, "Have you told your neighbor about lunch tomorrow?"

"I have, but I haven't told Qu Xiaoxiao yet. I plan to tell her tonight."

"Okay. Let's go watch a play tonight."

the other side.

Qiu Yingying and Zhou Qiang came to the restaurant Andy shared last time.

"Andy, look, is this the restaurant you came to last time?" Qiu Yingying video chatted with Andy.

"Yes, it's that restaurant. Did you and Boss Zhou go there?" Andy was eating steamed buns at the steamed bun shop.

"Yes, let's also feel the environment here."

"How does that feel?"

"It's very good. Brother Qiang also plans to cook a dish himself."

"Boss Zhou is going to take action? Does this count as causing trouble?" Andy joked.

"Haha, it probably doesn't count. Sister Andy, are you going to eat steamed buns again?"

"Yes, I like to eat steamed buns."

Hang up the video with a few small words.

Zhou Qiang said a few words to the chef.

The chef agreed to let Zhou Qiang cook a dish by himself.

"Steak, and" Zhou Qiang made steak Wellington.

After it’s done, let the chef taste it.

"Oh, my god! Mr. Zhou, the steak Wellington you cook is better than those made by three-star Michelin chefs. It's great!" the chef was full of praise.

"It's okay, I haven't lost my skills." Zhou Qiang smiled.

"Mr. Zhou, are you also a chef?"

"Yes, he used to be, but now he is the owner of the bun shop."

"Baozi shop? Is it the Zhouji Baozi shop?"

"Yes, do you know Zhou Ji Bao Shop?"

"Of course I know. The steamed buns at Zhou Ji Bao Shop are delicious. We eat there often."

"Thank you for coming." Zhou Qiang said a few polite words and started eating with Qiu Yingying.

"It's so delicious, Brother Qiang. I want to eat Beef Wellington at home too."

"Okay, I'll buy the ingredients later and cook it for you."

"I also want to invite Guan Guan and the others to eat together."

"Okay, it would be better if paired with Fen wine."

"Fenjiu? Aren't you drinking red wine?"

“Red wine is deceiving.”

"What a lie?"

"Drinking red wine is good for your health. This statement has been proven to be false."

"Huh? Didn't experts say that drinking red wine is good for your health?"

"The expert who said this has a family that makes red wine. In order to sell red wine, he made up the lie that drinking red wine is good for your health."

"So that's it, these experts really have no conscience."

“The experts’ consciences have been eaten by dogs.”

"Then let's drink Fenjiu. I don't know if Andy and the others can drink it."

"That should work. I can prepare some more beer then."

"Yeah." Qiu Yingying nodded, "Guan Guan also has a boyfriend, and we only have Sister Fan in 2202."

"Don't Fan Shengmei have a handsome guy named Wang?"

"Sister Fan seems to have a disdain for handsome guy Wang and thinks he doesn't have a house."

"A house is indeed important. Fan Shengmei is right to ask for a house. It's just that buying a house in Shanghai is too stressful."

"Yes, the housing prices in Magic City are too high."

"Fortunately, I have already bought a house, otherwise it would be difficult to find a girlfriend."

"No, Brother Qiang, whether you have a house or not, I still like you and am willing to be with you."

in the afternoon.

Zhao Qiping is doing rounds in the hospital.

Guan Ju'er has already replied to Ode to Joy.

"You're welcome, that's what I mean." Qu Xiaoxiao actually talked to the patient in the ward.

Qu Xiaoxiao bought a lot of nutritional supplements and gave them to the six previous patients.

Qu Xiaoxiao did this obviously to gain Zhao Qiping's favor and pursue Zhao Qiping.

"Dr. Zhao, are you doing your rounds?"

"Yes." Zhao Qiping looked at the things Qu Xiaoxiao bought. They were all edible for patients. They were not wrong. Obviously Qu Xiaoxiao did not buy randomly and should have consulted the seller.

"Dr. Zhao, I just bought some things randomly. I don't know if I bought the right ones. Please help me take a look."

"All patients can eat it." Zhao Qiping looked at it with a calm expression. After communicating with the patient, there was no problem. He nodded to Qu Xiaoxiao and went to other wards.

Qu Xiaoxiao watched Zhao Qiping leave, rolled her eyes, and did not follow.

Without staying in the hospital longer, Qu Xiaoxiao returned to the Qu family villa. She wants to have dinner at home.

night.

After Guan Juer and Zhao Qiping finished watching the play, they went shopping and visited the park together.

I didn't go back to Ode to Joy until very late.

When they separated, Zhao Qiping lowered his head and blocked Guan Juer's mouth.

Guan Ju'er's first kiss is gone.

"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning." Zhao Qiping said a few words and left.

Guan Ju'er returned to 2202 in a daze and forgot to talk to Qu Xiaoxiao about eating.

The next day.

Andy finished his run.

While eating breakfast, working, and chatting with Singularity.

Just finished breakfast.

Tan Zongming called, "Andy, come to my villa. I have something to tell you."

Hearing these words, Andy's face changed slightly.

Andy had some guesses that what Tan Zongming was going to say was related to her brother.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Andy looked calm but felt a little worried.

Tan Zongming Villa.

Andy walks in.

"Andy!" Lao Yan greeted.

Seeing Lao Yan, Andy immediately became nervous, "Has my brother been found? Is he still alive?"

"Alive, alive." Tan Zongming said hurriedly.

"Oh." Andy relaxed a little.

"Sit down first."

"Okay." Andy was a little nervous.

". Found in a nursing home, his name is He Xiaoming. Here are some materials, as well as a DNA test report. He should be related to you." Tan Zongming took out the investigation information.

"Nursing home?" Andy was a little confused.

"Yes." Lao Yan answered, "The family that adopted Xiao Ming before felt that there was a problem with Xiao Ming's mental abilities, so they abandoned him, and then the police sent Xiao Ming back.

But not long after he was sent back, he was abandoned again. The police saw him and sent him back.

After several times.

The family had no choice but to send Xiao Ming to a nursing home.

Xiao Ming has a very good personality. Sensitive to numbers.”

Lao Yan tried his best to be tactful, but He Xiaoming had a mental problem and had to speak out.

Andy looked through the survey information.

Finally, I lost control of my emotions and burst into tears.

Some cried with joy when they found their younger brother.

I also feel sad for my younger brother’s suffering.

I had mixed feelings and couldn't help but cry.

Tan Zongming and Lao Yan had no comfort and quietly left the living room, leaving Andy alone.

After a while.

Andy calmed down.

"Old Tan, my brother has mental problems, do you think I will too?" Andy was worried that she herself was mentally ill.

"No, the situation is different. Xiao Ming had symptoms when he was very young.

You are thirty-one now.

The age of onset of mental illness is generally before the age of thirty, and you are already over thirty.

If you don’t get sick now, that means you won’t get sick in the future. "Tan Zongming's statement has some basis, but it is more of a comfort.

"Thirty years old?" Andy shook his head, not quite believing this statement, "Old Tan, I want to see my brother. If possible, I want to take him back."

"It's a bit troublesome now. We still need to wait. The nursing home still needs to make arrangements." Tan Zongming did not want Andy to take He Xiaoming back rashly.

It's not that simple.

Tan Zongming knows better.

He Xiaoming's life experience is more complicated.

Tan Zongming didn't dare to make a move, fearing that it would affect Andy.

"I'm going back first." Andy was in a very bad mood and wanted to go back to Ode to Joy and be alone.

On the road.

Andy was in a daze.

In fact, she shouldn't be driving.

But I still forced myself to drive back.

Arrive at the gate of the Ode to Joy parking lot.

The car slowed down, and Andy suddenly saw Singularity standing next to her, saying hello to her.

At this time, Andy was still in a daze and thought it was a hallucination, so he drove in without stopping.

Actually no, this is a little surprise created by Singularity.

Singularity always likes to tell wisecracks, create little surprises, etc. Singularity has many tricks, but does Andy really like these?
Singularity realized something was wrong, chased him to the parking lot, and knocked on Andy's car window for dozens of seconds before waking Andy up from his trance.

"Aren't you coming back tomorrow?" Andy got out of the car and asked.

"I finished my work and came back early. I didn't tell you in advance. I just wanted to surprise you." Qingdian was a little worried: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"I'm fine. My brother has been found. He does have mental problems. Now I doubt myself." Andy couldn't help but think too much.

"Andy, don't think too much." Singularity wanted to grab Andy's hand.

But Andy pushed him away, "I just want to be alone now." Andy ran away alone.

Singularity took two steps to pursue, but did not pursue it any further.

I was just worried and sent Andy a WeChat message, but Andy didn't reply.

Time passed little by little.

Qingdian went up to the first floor and stood downstairs in Building 19, continuing to send messages to Andy.

But Andy never replied.

Andy's mood was still a bit 'broken'.

Knowing the news about his younger brother, Andy couldn't help but think too much, and his thoughts were very confused.

It's almost noon.

"Hey, Guan Guan, I'm here. You and the neighbors can go downstairs." Zhao Qiping arrived at Ode to Joy.

"Okay, I'll call them." Guan Ju'er was very happy to receive the call from Zhao Qiping, "Sister Fan, let's get ready to leave."

"Okay, right away." Fan Shengmei was still putting on makeup.

Guan Ju'er first sent a message to Qiu Yingying, and then dialed 2201.

Knock several times.

Just when Guan Juer thought Andy was not there, the door opened.

"Sister Andy." Before Guan Ju'er could finish his words, he suddenly noticed that Andy's face looked very strange, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Andy shook his head, lost in thought.

At this time, Qiu Yingying came out of the stairs.

Seeing Andy and Guan Ju'er, he hurried over to say hello, "Sister Andy, Guan Ju'er."

Only then did I realize that Andy's face was ugly, "Sister Andy, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Andy repeated.

"You don't look right, are you sick?" Zhou Qiang also went downstairs.

"No." Andy shook his head, "Are you okay?"

"Sister Andy, you forgot, Guan Guan and Dr. Zhao are treating everyone to dinner today." Qiu Yingying said.

"I didn't forget to eat, but I have something to do, so I won't go." Andy was in a bad mood, and she was trying to talk.

Guan Juer looked at Andy with concern, not knowing what to say.

Qiu Yingying was a little anxious, "Brother Qiang, what should I do?"

"Let's see, Guan Guan, you tell Dr. Zhao that we'll eat at Andy's place, and I'll do it. Just buy some ingredients and come back."

"Okay, what ingredients should I buy?" Guan Ju'er asked while calling Zhao Qiping.

"You can buy whatever you want to eat." Zhou Qiang didn't care.

"Guan Guan, you can buy steak. Brother Qiang can make Wellington steak, which is delicious." Qiu Yingying reminded.

"Oh, okay." Guan Ju'er called Zhao Qiping and said, "Sister Andy." After a few words, Zhao Qiping agreed.

"Then Dr. Zhao and I are going to buy groceries." Guan Ju'er said after hanging up the phone.

"Go ahead, Yingying and I will accompany Andy." Zhou Qiang said.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Fan Shengmei also came out.

"Sister Fan." Qiu Yingying spoke quickly and said what was going on.

“That’s good, I can try the food cooked by Boss Zhou again.

I think the food cooked by Boss Zhou is more delicious than the food in many high-end restaurants. "Fan Shengmei said.

"Of course, Brother Qiang is the best!" Qiu Yingying was happy.

Guan Juer took the elevator downstairs.

Zhou Qiang, Qiu Yingying, and Fan Shengmei entered 2201.

As for Qu Xiaoxiao from 2203, few people have forgotten about it.

Qu Xiaoxiao is not here, she is busy with business matters.

"You don't have to do this." Andy advised.

"Andy, do you remember the last time we had dinner at your house?" Zhou Qiang reminded.

The last time Andy was in a bad mood, the neighbors had dinner at Andy's house and stayed with Andy.

"Remember." Andy smiled.

"We are neighbors, you're welcome." Zhou Qiang opened the refrigerator, "Your refrigerator is still the same as last time, empty."

"I don't usually cook."

"Didn't you learn how to make potato shreds last time? You don't usually do it?"

"No, I don't care."

"You think about what to eat first, and you can make requests for Guan Guan." Zhou Qiang said.

"I said, I want to eat steak Wellington." Qiu Yingying answered.

"Steak Wellington? Boss Zhou can also cook Western food?" Fan Shengmei was curious.

"It's okay. I'm a relatively complex student, so I know how to order everything."

"Boss Zhou is so humble." Fan Shengmei said.

"Do you want some red wine?" Andy asked.

"No need for red wine, Brother Qiang said, red wine is not good, drink Fenjiu." Qiu Yingying said.

"Fenjiu? Why is red wine bad?" Andy asked.

"It's just that red wine is a lie. The expert told lies before. He sells red wine." Qiu Yingying explained.

"That seems to be the case. I have seen relevant reports." Andy said.

"If you can't drink red wine, why drink white wine?" Fan Shengmei asked.

"Brother Qiang likes to drink liquor. You can also ask Guan Guan to buy some beer."

"I drink beer, but not liquor." Fan Shengmei said.

"You haven't said what you want to eat yet." Qiu Yingying reminded.

“Since it’s Western food, is foie gras okay?”

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Qiang said.

"Sister Andy, what are you eating?" Qiu Yingying asked.

"I can do it." Andy talked to a few people for a while, and his expression became better.

However, Andy still didn't reply when he saw the message from Singularity.

Qiu Yingying contacted Guan Ju'er and asked her what to buy.

It didn't take long.

Guan Juer and Zhao Qiping came back and bought a lot of things.

"Leave the rest to me and you go play cards." Zhou Qiang said.

"Okay, how about forty points?" Zhao Qiping said first. He likes to have fun and play cards.

"Okay." Qiu Yingying also wanted to play cards.

Qiu Yingying and Andy's family, Guan Ju'er and Zhao Qiping's family started playing together.

Fan Shengmei was responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

The atmosphere gradually became warm.

Andy's complexion also gradually improved.

Soon.

The meal is ready.

"Come on, let's toast the chef first!" Zhao Qiping said, holding up the cup.

"Okay, thank you, Chef Zhou!" Several people raised their glasses.

"You're welcome, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Zhou Qiang casually drank a glass of Fenjiu, about one tael.

"Boss Zhou, drink slowly." Fan Shengmei couldn't help but remind her.

"It's okay, just rinse your mouth with this wine." Zhou Qiang's expression remained unchanged, "Everyone has a try to see if it tastes good."

"It's delicious!" Several people praised it.

"Then let's have a drink with Guan Guan and Dr. Zhao, and wish them happiness!" Zhou Qiang raised the glass.

"Bless you." Qiu Yingying and others wished Guan Ju'er and Dr. Zhao.

The atmosphere of the dinner is getting better and better.

The barriers in Andy's heart slowly disappeared.

Andy recalled every moment of getting along with his neighbors.

"Let me tell you my story." Andy finally stopped hiding it from his neighbors, "I came back to China to find my brother.

My brother and I have been orphans since childhood.

in the welfare home
Later, I was adopted by a foreign couple and went abroad.
Some time ago, my brother got news that he might have mental problems.

Today, we found him and confirmed that he has mental problems."

Andy's unforgettable past is revealed.

Among the five beauties of "Ode to Joy", whose life experience is the most pitiful?
It's Andy, she is the most pitiful.

Although there was no shortage of money later, Andy's family background was the worst, even worse than Fan Shengmei's.

After Andy finished speaking, no one else knew what to say to comfort him.

"I think Andy, you shouldn't go see your brother first." Zhou Qiang said, "You can have someone give your brother a mobile phone first.

Buy him some delicious food by the way.

There are also people who send fresh meat to the nursing home. It doesn’t need to be too much, just enough for everyone in the nursing home to have a meal.

If possible, send it every three to five days. "

"Why?" Andy was a little confused.

“The mobile phone is given so that you can have a video call with Xiao Ming and get to know each other better.

Sending delicious food will make your relationship with Xiao Ming better.

Sending fresh meat to nursing homes is to make them friendly to Xiao Ming.

I don’t let you go now because you are going to see Xiao Ming now. Xiao Ming will only treat you as a stranger and will not follow you. " Zhou Qiang explained.

"Boss Zhou is right, Andy, you can't be in a hurry now.

You need time to improve your relationship with Xiao Ming. "Fan Shengmei followed.

"Yes, not to go does not mean to ignore it, but to slowly improve the relationship." Guan Ju'er said.

"Sister Andy, Brother Qiang is right." Qiu Yingying said.

"That's right." Zhao Qiping nodded.

"I'm just going to take a look, can I not disturb him?" Andy still wanted to go.

"Can you ensure that your emotions don't get out of control if you go?" Zhou Qiang asked back.

"I" Andy hesitated.
