Urban Film and Television: Being taken home by Xu Hongdou at the beginning - Chapter 188 Fan Shengmei's Strange Behavior

The man had no interest in asking Fan Shengmei out for fun in the evening, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

After a moment's silence, he looked at Fan Shengmei who was standing outside the elevator and said in a low voice: "Think carefully about what I told you. Remember to give me an answer when we meet next time." After that, he pressed the elevator button and the elevator door slowly closed.

Fan Shengmei looked at the closed elevator door with a tangled face, and kept thinking about the man's words in her mind. At the same time, she remembered what her family had said to her, and she felt pain and helplessness in her heart.

Under all these blows, Fan Shengmei's heart could no longer bear such tremendous pressure. Her body softened and she sat down on the ground weakly.

Fan Shengmei sat on the ground blankly, motionless, like a sculpture, with a thousand thoughts in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.

It’s a good thing that no one has come to the 22nd floor yet, otherwise, seeing Fan Shengmei in such a state, they would probably be shocked.

After about twenty minutes, Fan Shengmei's body finally showed signs of movement.

She slowly raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she stood up suddenly with a look of determination on her face.

After she finished speaking, she did not return to her rented room 2203, but turned and walked towards the stairwell. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was filled with great determination, and she walked upstairs step by step.

Ye Fan had just returned home and was placing a pot of carefully brewed tea on the table, ready to savor it. However, at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Hearing the doorbell, Ye Fan did not immediately get up to open the door, because he was still immersed in the previous things and did not want to face the outside world. After all, he just overheard other people's conversations, and felt a little guilty, and did not want to go out to explain.

However, the person outside the door didn't seem to stop ringing the doorbell, and the continuous ringing made Ye Fan feel a little irritated.

Finally, Ye Fan gave up. Originally, he didn't intend to open the door, but the continuous doorbell made him feel extremely irritated. Unable to bear this annoying sound any longer, Ye Fan simply put down the teacup, stood up, and walked towards the door with an unhappy look on his face.

Fan Shengmei was still pressing the doorbell relentlessly. When the doorbell stopped ringing abruptly, she was about to press the button again. Suddenly, the door was slammed open from the inside, and Ye Fan's face with an obviously impatient expression appeared in front of Fan Shengmei.

"Fan Shengmei, are you sick? I just heard you were hooking up with a rich guy. Is it necessary for you to keep ringing the doorbell like this? Are you looking for trouble?" Ye Fan blurted out these impolite words, his eyes full of warnings, staring straight at Fan Shengmei.

Fan Shengmei jumped at Ye Fan's sudden action, and looked at Ye Fan with fear in her eyes. However, thinking of the pressure from her family and the threat from the man just now, Fan Shengmei tried to get her eyes back on Ye Fan. When her eyes met Ye Fan again, she no longer avoided him, but looked at him firmly.

Ye Fan did not continue to lose his temper. He calmed down, looked at Fan Shengmei with a scrutinizing gaze, waiting for her to speak.

After a few seconds of silence, Fan Shengmei finally spoke the first sentence, which made Ye Fan almost laugh out loud.

"Please support me! I can do everything!" Fan Shengmei looked directly at Ye Fan and expressed her intention without any concealment.

Ye Fan was surprised when he heard Fan Shengmei's words. He looked at Fan Shengmei as if she were a madman, and thought that this request was ridiculous. After all, he was always surrounded by women, not to mention beautiful women.

"You're sick!" Ye Fan felt disgusted with Fan Shengmei and didn't want to say anything more. He turned around and was about to close the door.

Seeing Ye Fan about to close the door and leave, Fan Shengmei was extremely anxious. She stretched out her hand without hesitation, pressed the door hard, and said anxiously: "Please don't close the door, can you listen to me for a few words?"

Ye Fan was very reluctant to hear this, but Fan Shengmei's hand was still blocking the door and he couldn't close it. In desperation, Ye Fan decided to let Fan Shengmei finish her words. Anyway, he didn't intend to have any disputes with Fan Shengmei, so he would let her leave after she finished.

After making up his mind, Ye Fan did not continue to close the door, but said to Fan Shengmei: "Okay, go ahead and leave quickly after you finish speaking."

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, go back quickly!" Ye Fan urged hurriedly when he saw that Fan Shengmei didn't speak.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Fan Shengmei didn't dare to think about it anymore. She quickly said to Ye Fan: "Can you let me go in and talk first?" After saying that, Fan Shengmei looked at Ye Fan with a pleading look.

Ye Fan simply chose to ignore Fan Shengmei's gaze. He didn't dare to let anyone in. What if Fan Shengmei blackmailed him? Although Ye Fan was not afraid of her blackmail, he didn't want to get into trouble.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, get out of here. I'm going to close the door." At this moment, Ye Fan no longer had the patience to listen to Fan Shengmei.

Ye Fan frowned after hearing what Fan Shengmei said, thinking that this woman was really shameless. He replied coldly: "Miss Fan, I am not interested in your family situation, and I don't need you to give me anything in return. Please leave here immediately."

After hearing what Ye Fan said, Fan Shengmei's eyes were filled with tears and she almost cried. She said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Ye, please think about it again. I really need your help. As long as you are willing to help me, I promise to repay you well."

Ye Fan looked at Fan Shengmei's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened. But he soon remembered her previous behavior and felt that he couldn't trust her easily. So, he still said firmly: "Ms. Fan, I said, I won't help you. Please don't bother me again."

Seeing Ye Fan so determined, Fan Shengmei finally couldn't help crying. She cried and said, "Mr. Ye, why are you so cruel? Can't you show some mercy?"

Fan Shengmei stood at the door, tears streaming down her face. She didn't expect Ye Fan to be so ruthless and not even have a bit of sympathy. She felt desperate and helpless, not knowing how to face her future life.

Ye Fan knew all about Fan Shengmei's family situation. She had a brother who did nothing, and a pair of parents who favored their son over their daughter.

To be honest, if it was an ordinary friend who encountered such a situation, Ye Fan would definitely lend a hand to help them without hesitation. But Fan Shengmei's situation was different. Her current situation was entirely her own fault.

In such a terrible family environment, she did not resist at all, but was willing to sell herself out for such a family.

After saying that, Ye Fan's gaze fell on Fan Shengmei's hand that was blocking the door. His intention was self-evident, which was to ask her to let go immediately.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Fan Shengmei clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment and anger. She stared at Ye Fan with wide eyes in disbelief, her heart full of shock and loss.

She thought Ye Fan would accept her request without hesitation, after all, they had such a close relationship before. However, reality slapped her hard in the face, making her feel extremely humiliated and desperate.

Ye Fan's indifference and determination, like two sharp knives, deeply hurt her heart. She stood there silently, her body trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Ye Fan stopped closing the door and turned to look at Fan Shengmei, his eyes flashing with disdain and ridicule. He sneered, "You think too much. I have no interest in you. Even if you were still a virgin, I wouldn't even look at you. Besides, I think you are really stupid! For such a family, you are willing to sacrifice your dignity and happiness. You might as well go see a psychologist when you have time to check if you have a mental illness."

After saying that, Ye Fan closed the door mercilessly, leaving Fan Shengmei standing alone outside the door, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm stupid? I'm mentally ill?..." Fan Shengmei, who was standing in front of Ye Fan's house, was stunned after hearing Ye Fan's words. Her eyes were empty and her expression was dull, as if her soul was pulled out of her body. She kept muttering to herself.

After a few seconds, she slowly turned around, then mechanically moved her legs and walked towards the stairs step by step. Her movements were slow and stiff, like a zombie, but she didn't stop talking, and kept repeating what she had just said: "Stupid? Psycho?" The voice became louder and louder, with a hint of despair and self-mockery.

When Fan Shengmei returned to her bedroom, she suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was so sharp and piercing that it made people's hair stand on end.

"Hahaha... Am I sick? Am I stupid? It turns out that everything is because of my stupidity. It's all because of me from beginning to end. Hahaha! It turns out that it's all my fault!" She laughed and tore her hair, tears pouring from her eyes and sliding down her cheeks. Her laughter was full of pain and self-blame, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and unwillingness in her heart.

Ye Fan's words were like a revelation, awakening Fan Shengmei from a dream. She had been in a state of madness, but now it seemed as if she had suddenly become enlightened and understood everything. She realized that she had always been bound by the pressure and responsibilities of her family and could not really live out her true self. Now, she finally decided not to live that kind of life anymore, to get rid of the shackles of this family and pursue her own life.

Fan Shengmei's eyes sparkled with determination. She was determined to change the status quo and no longer let her family become a burden to her. She wanted to face reality bravely and pursue her dreams and happiness. She knew it was not easy, but she was willing to work hard to fight for freedom and independence.

The phone rang twice and was picked up, and then a woman's voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Mei, how is it going? Did you borrow the money? Call your brother right away, or he will be beaten to death."

After hearing what her mother said, Fan Shengmei showed a hint of self-mockery on her face. She finally understood how stupid she was in the past, for having been helping such a family member.

However, although Fan Shengmei thought so, she did not break off relations with her family immediately. She still wanted to confirm her family's attitude towards her.

When Fan's mother heard what Fan Shengmei said, she immediately refused, her tone very excited: "No! If the house is sold, where will your brother and his family live? I don't care, Xiaomei, you must give me the money tomorrow, otherwise I will not recognize you as my daughter!"

After hearing what her mother said, Fan Shengmei could no longer hold back her self-deprecating smile, and then she decisively hung up the phone. Finally, she simply turned off her phone. She didn't want anyone to disturb her at this moment, she just wanted to be alone!
