Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

Chapter 840 He Minhong's Method: Utilizing Ye Zhenzhen's Kindness

He Minhong was actually thinking of something good. When she said she wanted to go back to 2202, Zhou Chen was a little dumbfounded. Why did she think that 2202 would still welcome her?

Back in Ode to Joy, Zhou Chen and Lucy knocked on the door of room 2202 and saw Yu Chuhui and Zhu Zhe making dinner. Zhou Chen mentioned that he had met He Minhong's family downstairs.

"Did you run into He Minhong and his family in the neighborhood when you were leaving get off work? Some people are too arrogant; they actually want to move back to 2202. What's your opinion?"

Zhou Chen's words stunned Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui. Perhaps they hadn't expected He Minhong to actually want to come back and stay. She was indeed a bit too presumptuous.

"Let me state my opinion first: He Minhong's personality is too troublesome. Although our lives will be more interesting if she comes back, who knows how much trouble she will cause in the future?"

Qi Mu's incident serves as a cautionary tale, and I don't want it to happen again, which is why I oppose He Minhong's return.

Besides, it's not like when we first moved to Joyful Ode. Back then, the three of us had to share the rent, but now we don't have that concern at all.

Zhou Chen has already waived my rent, and Sister Zhu's rent won't increase just because there's one less person. We're not short of money right now, so why add He Minhong on top of that?

Yu Chuhui was the first to express her opinion, and she raised her objection to He Minhong's move in.

At this time, Yu Chuhui did not know that Zhu Zhe was also Zhou Chen's woman. Starting this month, her rent was also waived, so they did not need to worry about rent at all.

But if people can live in more spacious accommodations, who would want to squeeze in together?

Zhu Zhe shared this view, and seeing Yu Chuhui's objection, she also stated, "Achu is right, He Minhong is an unstable bomb, and I don't want to keep her by my side."

"Of course, Zhou Chen, you're the landlord. It's up to you to decide what to do; we respect your opinion."

Zhu Zhe was quite sensible; she expressed her opinion while leaving the decision to Zhou Chen, as she didn't want to overstep her bounds and make the decision for him.

Before Zhou Chen could speak, Lucy declared, "Then you can rest assured, Zhou Chen has already refused He Minhong's request to come back. You don't know how utterly despicable He Minhong is; she's completely unrepentant."

Lucy then explained what had happened at noon to the two of them, including He Minhong's betrayal of Zhou Chen. She really didn't know how He Minhong had the nerve to come over and say he wanted to go back to 2202. Did he really think Zhou Chen had no temper?

Zhou Chen also spoke up, saying, "Anyway, I won't be soft-hearted this time. I will never get involved in He Minhong's affairs again, because you never know when He Minhong will stab you in the back again."

To distance myself from them, I've blocked all the He family's contact information. If they contact you again, no matter what happens, don't tell me. I don't want to cause myself any trouble.

Upon hearing that Zhou Chen had blocked the He family, Yu Chuhui immediately took out his phone to show his support for Zhou Chen.

“Then I’ll block He Minhong too. Also, let’s disband the Ode to Joy group we created. We’ll create a new group later, one without that annoying He Minhong.”

Although this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Zhe, she still expressed her support. Since Zhu Zhe was the group admin, he quietly disbanded the group.

This action left Ye Zhenzhen, who was working overtime, completely bewildered. She couldn't understand why the group had been disbanded.

It wasn't until Zhu Zhe sent her a new invitation to join the group that Ye Zhenzhen realized He Minhong wasn't in the new group. Only then did she realize that He Minhong must have caused trouble again, otherwise Zhu Zhe wouldn't have gone to such extremes.

Ye Zhenzhen originally wanted to send a message to ask what had happened, but the professor called her into his office, so she had to put her questions aside for the time being.

He Minhong was thus excluded by the people on the 22nd floor. Obviously, at this time, Zhou Chen's women all supported Zhou Chen, since He Minhong was unpopular.

Hehe, He Minhong did not leave at this time. Her family was still wandering around the neighborhood. He Minhong did not listen to her parents' words that they wanted to take her away, because she had her own plans.

"Mom and Dad, you should leave first. I know what I'm doing. I'm going to move into Joyful Song today."

Faced with her stubborn daughter, He Minhong's mother retorted, "But Zhou Chen doesn't like you at all. What do you have to say to convince Zhou Chen?"

Honghong, can we stop arguing? If you really don't want to go back to your hometown, just have your dad rent you a new place. There's no need for us to fight to the death over Ode to Joy.

Before we moved to this neighborhood, you didn't know anyone either. Let's rent a new place and make new friends. Shanghai is so big, there's really no need to put up with other people's attitudes and put up with their bad temper. Let's start all over again.

What He Minhong's mother said makes a lot of sense. After all, the world will keep turning no matter who leaves. I really don't understand why He Minhong wants to stay in Ode to Joy.

Unfortunately, He Minhong wouldn't listen. She directly revealed her plan: a plan to gain sympathy by playing the victim.

"Mom and Dad, your presence here is affecting my performance. I'm going to start with Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen is kind-hearted. If she sees me sitting at the entrance of the community waiting for her, she won't ignore me."

If Zhenzhen sees you with me, she will only hand me over to you. You should leave first.

As long as I can go upstairs, I'll find a way to convince my neighbors to let me stay. Haven't you always said that my neighbors are all good people?

Since they are good people, they shouldn't want to see me suffer. I believe that as long as I sincerely apologize, they will forgive me.

Clearly, He Minhong had his sights set on Ye Zhenzhen. In He Minhong's eyes, Ye Zhenzhen was the only one who was on his side. As long as he played the victim in front of her, he thought it would be easy to achieve his goal.

He Minhong's mother frowned. When she heard her daughter mention Ye Zhenzhen, she remembered that Ye Zhenzhen had called her several times to inform her about Honghong. Ye Zhenzhen was indeed someone who cared about Honghong.

“Honghong, since you’ve decided to do this, we won’t stop you. But let me remind you, don’t offend Ye Zhenzhen, the only person who cares about you, or you’ll really be in trouble later.”

We'll stay at a hotel near the neighborhood for the night. Call us if anything happens.

He Minhong nodded, then saw her parents off. Afterwards, she went to a very conspicuous place where Ye Zhenzhen could see her after get off work and waited there. She planned to use Ye Zhenzhen's kindness to achieve her own goals.
