"Hello, what made you think of calling me?" Chen Cheng had a smile on his face; he hadn't expected Andy to call him.
And at this hour too. Chen Cheng glanced at his watch; it was already Eleven o'clock.
If Andy didn't have something she couldn't resolve, she would absolutely never contact a friend.
She was accustomed to a life that went back and forth between 'home' and 'company', rarely socializing with others.
Naturally, she had very few friends.
Apart from himself and Old Tan, Chen Cheng didn't seem to notice she had any other friends.
Chen Cheng actually spent very little time in the Ugly Country; sometimes he even felt that if his IQ hadn't been able to keep up with Andy's, she would never have made friends with him.
"Ah..." Andy pondered for a moment, not knowing how to start.
"Andy, this isn't your style. Just say what's on your mind."
Andy shrugged sheepishly and said, "I heard from Old Tan that you also live at Ode to Joy. I wanted to ask you, how should one handle it if a neighbor is causing a disturbance?"
"Causing a disturbance?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"Go over..." Chen Cheng paused, "Forget it, going over to knock on the door isn't your style. Call 110 for the police; it's efficient, convenient, and has no lingering issues."
"110?"
"Yeah, not 911," Chen Cheng smiled. If he hadn't said that, Andy might have actually called 911.
"OK, I got it."
Having found a solution, Andy hung up the phone quite efficiently.
Although Andy was always like this, Chen Cheng still stared blankly at his phone, caught off guard by being hung up on.
Suddenly, it occurred to him: the person causing the disturbance couldn't be Qu Xiaoxiao, could it?
Chen Cheng thought it was very possible. This good-for-nothing Overseas student was the type who drank and clubbed, partying every night while in the Ugly Country, and she couldn't settle down even after coming back.
Many people looked down on Sister Fan, who was considered a gold digger, but the one Chen Cheng looked down on most was Qu Xiaoxiao.
He had spent five years in the Ugly Country and had seen many Overseas students; he had a terrible impression of people like Qu Xiaoxiao.
People who go abroad to study can generally be divided into three categories:
Those who truly study abroad, who work hard at their studies, life, and part-time jobs to subsidize their living expenses every day;
Those who are out to travel, whose daily social media posts are either in Tahiti or Hawaii—anyway, apart from back home, their figures can be seen all over the world. At least this type of person cultivates their character and sees the customs of different places, giving them material to brag about later.
And there is another type, the one Chen Cheng looks down on most: those who spend their days clubbing and drinking.
The nightclubs in the Ugly Country have everything—vice, gambling, and drugs. If you go often, you'll inevitably get involved in one or two things. You might even end up playing at "cultural integration," men on top of men, or what a beautiful lily flower, and so on.
When one is alone abroad, one is bound to be lonely, and the sexual attitudes over there are quite open.
Once it starts, with no rules or regulations to keep you in check, you just let yourself go.
Chen Cheng had once seen some female Overseas students openly discussing the "n-word dicks" they had used in a group of over a hundred people, chattering away, even expressing which size of dick they felt suited them best, and recommending them to each other.
Chen Cheng was greatly shocked at the time; indeed, when women start driving, there's no room for men.
Chen Cheng certainly didn't qualify as an ascetic in this regard, but he knew what "clean and hygienic" meant; he would never send an invitation for a confrontation to someone he didn't know.
Plus, having seen in the plot how Qu Xiaoxiao seduced Zhao Qiping, they hadn't even met twice before they ended up in the same bed.
Combined with the fact that Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't even speak English fluently after studying abroad for a few years, Chen Cheng could guess with his feet what she had been doing in the Ugly Country.
Drinking, clubbing, sleeping with toy boys.
As for whether she touched drugs, Chen Cheng didn't know and had no interest in knowing.
"Qu Xiaoxiao's fox friends and dog buddies—aren't they just the group that got dealt with this afternoon? Are they throwing a party at Qu Xiaoxiao's new place right now?"
"Damn it, after harassing Rui Rui in the afternoon, are they going to disturb Andy at night?"
Chen Cheng cursed as he went downstairs. Although he had told Andy to call the police, he wasn't at ease in his heart, so he decided to go over in person.
...
"Pop, pop, pop~"
Chen Cheng stood at the door of 2203 and knocked loudly.
Hmm, not downstairs from Chen Cheng, but Building 6, 2203, at Qu Xiaoxiao's door.
Hearing the commotion inside, the door opened, and the buddy who opened it turned green in the face.
Chen Cheng also laughed, "Yo, what a coincidence," the one who opened the door was the tall, thin buddy who had received two slaps from him that afternoon.
"What are you here for?" The tall, thin man obviously did not welcome Chen Cheng.
At this moment, everyone in the room looked towards the door. Except for Qu Xiaoxiao, the others couldn't smile, holding back anger on their faces.
There was one exception.
Yao Bin.
Seeing it was Chen Cheng, he hurriedly went up to greet him, bowing slightly, and said softly, "Hey, brother, why are you here?"
Chen Cheng glanced at him and said coldly, "Turn off the music."
Yao Bin wanted to slap himself in the face right now; he hurriedly turned around and waved his hand, signaling the girl nearby to turn off the music.
The property management had just come by earlier saying someone had complained, but they didn't take property management seriously at all, just doing whatever they wanted.
Right now, this ancestor coming to knock on the door, could it be that he was the one who complained?
"Little Bin, what's up? Did all your money go to car repairs? No money to open a card? Throwing a party in a residential area?" Chen Cheng looked at Yao Bin with a light laugh.
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Yao Bin's face turned the color of a pig's liver.
After coming out from Tan Zongming's place, the insurance company had finished inspecting, saying there was suspicion of intentional collision and it needed further verification.
Damage caused intentionally is not covered by insurance compensation.
According to Yao Bin's experience, among the last few cars, only the one hit by the reversing car would be covered by insurance; he would have to pay for all the others out of his own pocket.
He spent money and put on a smiling face to appease his few fox friends and dog buddies.
This was only because of their mutual friend Qu Xiaoxiao having just returned and moving into a new home that the matter could be considered settled for now.
"Brother, we'll clear out immediately, immediately," Yao Bin immediately accompanied with a fawning smile.
After coming out from Tan Zongming's place, Yao Bin looked at the gardens measured by the acre along the road and finally realized that someone who could drive Tan Zongming's car was not someone a small rich second generation like him could provoke; stay as far away as possible.
Qu Xiaoxiao stood in the room, her sharp gaze like that of a hawk, staring fixedly at the tall, handsome, and imposing Chen Cheng at the door, as if a hungry she-wolf, eyeing her prey and ready to strike at any moment.
"Get some rest early," Chen Cheng smiled and turned to leave.
He remembered he should give a warning, lest these street hoodlums find out later that he didn't live in this building, think no one could control them, and continue dancing in the residential building.
"Oh, right, don't dance at home in the future either," Chen Cheng still had a smile on his face. "Otherwise, I'll have to ask the neighbors upstairs and downstairs for help."
"Hey, no, what do you mean?" Qu Xiaoxiao got anxious immediately and walked to the door, shouting.
What help could the neighbors upstairs and downstairs provide?
Installing a floor vibration device to take turns waking her up.
For someone like her who doesn't sleep at night and doesn't get up during the day, if she were woken up every morning, it would be no different from killing her.
Heaven and earth are vast, but sleep is the greatest! How could she still have the heart to stand behind and admire handsome Chen's bulging pectoral muscles?
Chen Cheng glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao; she was flat-chested and flat-bottomed, and her height probably didn't match his either.
He smiled on his face, dropped the line "Literally," and turned to walk away.
Previously it was just an impression, but now it was confirmed: Qu Xiaoxiao was indeed irrelevant to his aesthetic taste.
"You..." Qu Xiaoxiao still wanted to say something, but was directly covered by Yao Bin at the side.
Before Chen Cheng had even reached the elevator hall, Andy's door opened. Andy opened the door halfway and called out, "Chen Cheng~"
