> Ode to Joy Recap
As soon as Fan Shengmei's mother heard that her elder brother's house was to be mortgaged, she strongly objected. She incessantly demanded that Fan Shengmei borrow money. Qu Xiaoxiao, who loves to stand up for injustice, couldn't stand Fan Shengmei's mother's preference for sons over daughters. She spoke out to criticize Fan Shengmei's mother, and her few words made Fan Shengmei clearly realize the current situation.
Therefore, Fan Shengmei steeled herself and mortgaged the house she had paid half the money for to her brother to Wei Wei. Zhao Qiping and his so-called girlfriend Xia Wenjuan had also been standing nearby. The shrewd Qu Xiaoxiao noticed a flaw in their interaction, so she called them aside, exposed Zhao Qiping's lie, and Ms. Xia bid farewell upon hearing this.
Qu Xiaoxiao stated that Zhao Qiping needed to explain himself clearly, and the two agreed to meet after work the next day. Andy and Wei Wei sent Fan Shengmei home. Wei Wei expressed his apologies for the offense caused earlier, but clarified that this was a result of discussions with Wang Baichuan, and was acted out for Fan Shengmei's mother.
The money lent to her would not incur interest, and the house would only be dealt with after she made up her mind. Fan Shengmei finally realized her capabilities were limited. She hoped Wei Wei could help her sell this house as soon as possible, so that her father's later medical expenses would also be covered. Seeing Fan Shengmei's mother, who blindly favored her son, Qu Xiaoxiao now realized how good her own parents were to her.
She called her parents to express her love for them, and Qu Xiaoxiao's father and mother were moved to tears. The next day, Fan Shengmei's father underwent surgery. Andy, who had left work early, brought Xiao Guan and Xiao Qiu to the hospital. Qu Xiaoxiao, who appeared cold but was actually kind, also arrived at the hospital. The doctor announced that Fan Shengmei's father's surgery was very successful.
The concern and help from her friends on the 22nd floor made Fan Shengmei feel exceptionally warm. She couldn't help but exclaim how lucky she was to live on the 22nd floor. The friend Wei Wei entrusted found out about Andy's situation. He also told Wei Wei that Wei Guoqiang had investigated Andy before. This greatly surprised Wei Wei.
Why would Wei Guoqiang, a university professor who also ran his own company and was revered as a doyen of economics in China, investigate Andy? He asked his friend to continue the investigation. Fan Shengmei's experience made Andy realize the preciousness of family affection. She asked Tan Zongming for a day off and returned to Daishan Nursing Home with Wei Wei to visit her younger brother, Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was very happy to see Andy.
Wei Wei took the opportunity to inquire about Andy's background from Director Yang. Director Yang said that someone had come to inquire about Andy's whereabouts years ago. Wei Wei took out Wei Guoqiang's photo, and Director Yang confirmed it was that person. Wang Baichuan called Fan Shengmei, telling her that he had already entrusted a friend to deal with her brother's house. Fan Shengmei expressed her gratitude to him, along with a belated apology.
Wang Baichuan also stated that he shouldn't have deceived her, and the two reconciled. Qu Xiaoxiao went to the hospital to pick up Zhao Qiping. Zhao Qiping got into the car with a smile on his face. It turned out that he had seen Andy's Moments mocking Wei Wei with classical allusions, which made him burst into laughter. He explained the story behind it to Qu Xiaoxiao, but Qu Xiaoxiao still looked confused.
Zhao Qiping directly pointed out that this was where they were incompatible. Upon hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately stopped the car at the hospital's main entrance and started arguing with Zhao Qiping. Unexpectedly, someone riding an electric bike crashed into Qu Xiaoxiao's car. The other party demanded 500 yuan in compensation, but the wilful Qu Xiaoxiao kept bargaining with them. This scene showed Zhao Qiping Qu Xiaoxiao's unreasonableness, further confirming that Qu Xiaoxiao was not his cup of tea.
