> Ode to Joy Recap
Wei Wei called Andy, asking her for a favor: to take ten thousand yuan to Dr. Zhao at the hospital. In fact, Dr. Zhao, who appeared carefree on the outside, had a very soft heart. He had been trying every means to help patients troubled by money, which was why he asked Wei Wei for help.
Wei Wei agreed, but because he had to accompany clients from abroad and couldn't get away, he had to entrust Andy to take the money and books to Zhao Qiping. Andy called Qu Xiaoxiao, asking if she wanted to go together, but Qu Xiaoxiao said she was currently on a business trip out of town. Her serious attitude towards work earned her much praise from Andy.
Andy arrived at the hospital, and after Zhao Qiping came out of the operating room, she handed him the money. Zhao Qiping told her about the recipient: The child lying in the hospital bed was named Yang Yang. His father passed away in a car accident before he was born. His mother worked for others, earning a meager salary.
With no one to pick him up after school, Yang Yang had to go home by himself, but unfortunately, he was hit by a car, and the perpetrator fled. Zhao Qiping wanted to help this poor child, which was why he sought help from Wei Wei. After hearing this, Andy also donated all the money from her wallet to the child. After work, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were chatting at home.
Fan Shengmei returned from the golf course, carrying large and small bags of luxury goods. Andy also arrived at 2202 at this time. Fan Shengmei was still holding a grudge against Andy's previous actions. Not only did she fail to understand Andy's intentions, but she also believed that Andy was treating her with a condescending attitude. Andy apologized to her, but Fan Shengmei did not accept it.
She told Andy that their views were different and there was no need to force compatibility, so Andy had to leave awkwardly. After returning home, Andy called Qu Xiaoxiao and told her about what she had seen and heard at the hospital during the day. Qu Xiaoxiao said that as soon as she returned, she would rush to the hospital to donate money, not only because of Zhao Qiping but also because of this poor child.
Fan Shengmei's brother was released from prison. The other party demanded that Fan's elder brother pay for emotional damages. Fan's elder brother, unwilling to pay, called Fan Shengmei for help. Facing her brother, who repeatedly caused trouble, Fan Shengmei was physically and mentally exhausted. The other party threatened Fan Shengmei that if she didn't come up with the money in time, they would break her brother's legs. Fan Shengmei screamed hoarsely, "Please, just kill him!"
Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying witnessed Fan Shengmei losing control. Guan Juer was worried about Fan Shengmei, so she told Andy about the situation the next day at work. Andy said she would help and asked Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying not to interfere in the matter, to be more accommodating to her in life, but not to show pity for her, so as not to hurt Fan Shengmei's self-esteem. After much consideration, Andy decided to call Wang Baichuan.
Wang Baichuan rushed back from Shanghai to Nantong that very day and visited Fan Shengmei's parents' and brother's neighbors' homes separately to understand the situation. He told Fan Shengmei that the people demanding money from her brother were currently guarding her brother's house, and her parents' home was quiet. Fan Shengmei thanked Wang Baichuan. In fact, Fan Shengmei had always known that Wang Baichuan liked her, but being vain, she looked down on Wang Baichuan, who ran a small company.
She was determined to break into high society. Subsequently, she accepted Qu Lianjie's invitation and prepared to have dinner with Qu Lianjie that evening. Qu Xiaoxiao achieved a resounding success, passing the audit of Mr. Wang's company and securing a new project. Qu's parents wanted to celebrate her success, but Qu Xiaoxiao told her parents that she needed to go to the hospital first.
After finishing her company affairs, Qu Xiaoxiao went home, changed her outfit, and took Qiu Yingying to the hospital. Yang Yang's experience and his mature demeanor made both Qiu Yingying and Qu Xiaoxiao feel extremely distressed. The two kept crying. Qu Xiaoxiao felt that the child was dressed too lightly, and she said that she must bring Yang Yang a down jacket next time. Afterwards, she took Qiu Yingying to have dinner with Qu's parents.
