Ode to Joy Episode 7 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Andy confessed to Qidian that she was an orphan from an orphanage and was adopted by an American couple when she was young. Qidian also handed his business card to Andy. He told Andy that his name was Wei Wei. When Andy left, she told Wei Wei not to always probe her, observe her, or verify her, then she walked away. It turned out that Wei Wei was very surprised to see that Andy was driving a Porsche 911.
He sent someone to investigate the car's owner, and Andy, being clever, noticed all of this. Tan Zongming called Andy and told her that Old Yan had found out news about her younger brother. Andy came to Tan Zongming's house, feeling very uneasy, because she didn't know what kind of news Old Yan would bring her.
Old Yan told her that her younger brother had been adopted by a family, but this family later sent her younger brother back to Daishan because he appeared rather slow. The family suspected that her younger brother had an intellectual disability. However, Old Yan also admitted that he had not yet found her younger brother's whereabouts. Andy suggested that Old Yan investigate local mental hospitals, because Andy clearly knew that both her grandmother and mother had severe mental illnesses.
The couple who adopted her younger brother insisted on sending him back to Daishan, making it highly probable that her younger brother was already showing symptoms of mental illness. After Fan Shengmei was taken away by the police, Qiu Yingying was very anxious. Impulsively, she demanded to confront Supervisor Bai, but the calm Guan Juer held her back.
They called Andy, but Andy's phone and wallet were in Tan Zongming's living room, and she, who was outside talking to Old Yan, didn't hear it. Qiu Yingying cried desperately, and this scene was coincidentally seen by Qu Xiaoxiao, who was in a hurry to go out. After understanding the whole story, Qu Xiaoxiao praised Fan Shengmei's actions, believing that Fan Shengmei's move was very righteous.
So she found someone to inquire about which police station Fan Shengmei was currently in. Afterward, Qu Xiaoxiao went to the police station alone. The simple-minded Qiu Yingying also wanted to go to the police station to confront Supervisor Bai, but it took Guan Juer a lot of earnest persuasion to calm Qiu Yingying down. Meanwhile, at the police station, Supervisor Bai falsely accused Fan Shengmei of smashing his computer and iPad.
Fan Shengmei insisted that she hadn't smashed anything and told the police they could ask Supervisor Bai's roommate to testify. When Supervisor Bai's roommate arrived, Supervisor Bai winked at him, hoping he would provide false testimony. However, Supervisor Bai's roommate stood his ground and testified for Fan Shengmei. By the time Qu Xiaoxiao arrived, Fan Shengmei had already handled the matter. Although Fan Shengmei felt a little scared afterward, she still put on a brave front, saying everything was fine.
Qu Xiaoxiao, being worldly and experienced, took all of this in. Back home, Andy was in unbearable pain. She felt she had failed her younger brother. If she had returned to China earlier, her younger brother wouldn't be in such an unknown state between life and death today. As a result, when Guan Juer came to explain why she had called her, Andy was also distracted. The next day, Guan Juer met Qu Xiaoxiao downstairs, who was feeding cats.
She told Qu Xiaoxiao about her worries for Andy. Qu Xiaoxiao immediately knocked on Andy's door, and without a word, pulled her to go for a SPA. Afterward, Andy invited Qu Xiaoxiao for dinner, and the two talked about their opinions on the other residents of Floor 22. Andy believed that through this incident, she had a new respect for Fan Shengmei, but Qu Xiaoxiao thought Fan Shengmei always tried to put on a show and pretend to be rich.
Qu Xiaoxiao believed Guan Juer was too dogmatic and solely focused on advancement. Andy strongly agreed, but Andy thought Guan Juer would be a good employee. Both of them were quite speechless about the impulsive and brainless Qiu Yingying.
