Ode to Joy Episode 27 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
After getting paid, Qiu Yingying excitedly called her father, telling him not to send her money anymore because her salary this month was enough for her to spend. Qiu Yingying met Wei Wei in the elevator. She asked Wei Wei how to make a business bigger. This vague question left Wei Wei unable to answer, so he could only tell her that as long as the main path was right, she could gradually accumulate success.
The elevator reached the 22nd floor. Wei Wei got off and headed straight for Andy's apartment, 2201. Qiu Yingying chased after Wei Wei, asking how to get on the right path. Under Wei Wei's subtle hint, she realized that she was affecting Wei Wei and Andy's meeting, so she quickly excused herself. After Wei Wei entered the apartment, he immediately declared that someone with Qiu Yingying's aptitude couldn't do business. Andy suggested telling Qiu Yingying the truth.
Wei Wei thought Qiu Yingying was too young and feared she couldn't handle the truth. Andy bluntly said that she always made Wei Wei bear her unpresentable side. She confessed that she was an orphan and didn't know how to get along with people.
Wei Wei kindly comforted her, saying that even though Andy was an orphan, they could have a lovely and beautiful child in the future, and if she wasn't good at getting along with others, she only needed to get along with him. As Andy looked at Wei Wei, a warmth welled up in her heart. She directly proposed to Wei Wei, which greatly surprised him, but he gladly accepted.
Fan Shengmei's mother called her, asking her to send more money back because her brother had injured someone. Now the other party was in the hospital, demanding her brother pay medical expenses. However, her sister-in-law refused to pay, leaving the mess to her elderly parents.
The old couple had already given them the living expenses Fan Shengmei sent and Fan Shengmei's father's pension, but it still wasn't enough, and the other party had been staying at their home, refusing to leave. Already living paycheck to paycheck, Fan Shengmei was helpless. She could only call her sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law was completely unwilling to take out her savings. Lonely and helpless, Fan Shengmei sat by the roadside, tears constantly falling.
After returning home, the disheartened Fan Shengmei secluded herself in her room. Her mother called, and the noisy scene on the other end of the line made Fan Shengmei very uneasy. Her mother told Fan Shengmei that they were smashing things in their house. Fearing her parents would be harmed, Fan Shengmei promised to send 2,000 back home tomorrow and pleaded with those people to leave. After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei collapsed onto the floor.
Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer returned, discussing how Fan Shengmei's condition had been poor that morning, worrying she had a cold. The two younger sisters busied themselves making chicken soup for her. Fan Shengmei, hearing the movement in the living room and their conversation, was deeply moved. Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying sat on the bed, chatting with Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei wanted to tell them her troubles, but being someone who always cared about her image, she still didn't.
Andy and Wei Wei enjoyed a candlelight dinner. After the meal, the two drank red wine and chatted, the atmosphere was pleasant. Wei Wei kissed Andy, and halfway through their intimacy, Andy unconsciously kicked him to the floor. Wei Wei had no choice but to leave. He called his friend for advice, and his friend suggested that Andy might have suffered some trauma in her childhood.
Meanwhile, Andy sat helplessly on the floor, also stunned by her own actions, as she hadn't realized that the shadows of her childhood would affect her constantly. The next day, Andy sent Wei Wei a WeChat message, apologizing to him and stating that if he minded, the proposal could be treated as if it never happened.
But Wei Wei stated that when he accepted her proposal, he had told her that she couldn't go back on her word, nor could she abandon him. Wei Wei comforted her not to be afraid, saying he would face it with her. Andy and Guan Juer went to work together. Guan Juer told Andy about Fan Shengmei's abnormal behavior last night.
Andy, recalling the scene of Fan Shengmei getting drunk late at night, guessed that Fan Shengmei must have encountered something major. As soon as Guan Juer arrived at the company entrance, she saw Senior Brother Lin waiting there. The kind-hearted Guan Juer, believing she already had someone she liked, couldn't bear to delay Senior Brother Lin and told him the truth.
