A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1330 Revenge and Counterattack! (Please Subscribe!)
As soon as the elevator stopped, everyone except Hua Shier tensed up.

Hua Shier was closest to the elevator's button panel, so he pressed the emergency call button and explained the situation inside the elevator to the staff on duty.

The other party said they would send workers over immediately and told them not to panic, not to move around, and to wait patiently for rescue.

After the call ended, he casually pressed all the buttons for each floor.

Qu Xiaoxiao called out from the side, sounding annoyed:
"Hey, stop messing around! If you fall, you'll be the one who dies, we're not done living yet!"

"I'd rather die than die!"

Hua Twelve sneered:

"Shut up, you idiot! It's not scary to be uneducated. Just listen more, observe more, and talk less. Stay home and read more books so you don't embarrass yourself and become a laughingstock!"

Seeing his nonchalant expression, yet his mouth was firing at Qu Xiaoxiao like a machine gun, the other girls in the elevator found it somewhat amusing. The tense and uneasy atmosphere caused by the elevator malfunction suddenly relaxed, and even Andy, who was already a bit sensitive, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Qu Xiaoxiao was stunned by the spray. After she came to her senses, she bristled like a hedgehog and screamed loudly:
"I'm uneducated? I'm a returnee from overseas!"

Hua Twelve whistled:

"Oh my, sea turtles can talk now? Wasn't it agreed that they weren't allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China? You must have some powerful backing. May I ask, what's your relationship with the Turtle Prime Minister? Are you using connections to get ahead?"

With a 'pfft', Andy, Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, and Fan Shengmei all couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although the atmosphere was a bit inappropriate, these lines were just too much for them to bear, they really couldn't help it!
Qu Xiaoxiao was furious and screamed again:
"Shut up! The elevator is already malfunctioning. If you keep pressing the buttons, what if you fall? Do you want to kill everyone?"

Fan Shengmei, perhaps wanting to play peacemaker or perhaps thinking Qu Xiaoxiao's words made sense, also spoke up:

"Bai Chuan, I also think she's right. It's dangerous for you to press those buttons randomly!"

Hua Shier chuckled and remained silent, seemingly making a concession, but in reality, he didn't want to argue with ignorant people.

At this point, Andy couldn't stand it anymore and explained:

"Mr. Wang did the right thing. By pressing all the buttons for the lower floors, even if the elevator drops rapidly, it may stop due to the braking system returning to normal. This increases the chances of survival in an elevator accident!"

The other girls then realized what was happening, while Fan Shengmei blushed deeply because the things Hua Shier had said about Qu Xiaoxiao were now being said about her. It's not that being uncultured is terrible, but she was also the one who talked too much.

Most importantly, at this critical moment, she didn't believe her old classmate, but instead stood up to help Qu Xiaoxiao criticize Hua Shier, which made Fan Shengmei feel ashamed for a moment.

However, perhaps because she had been flattered by Wang Baichuan so much back in school, her shame was only momentary. How could a goddess be wrong in front of a simp? She immediately complained:

"Bai Chuan, you should have told us beforehand! You scared us all. Don't do that again next time!"

Hua Shier chuckled, "As long as the fool is happy!"

Qu Xiaoxiao also felt she had lost face, and loudly questioned again:
"Then why did you press the buttons for the floors above as well?"

Hua Shier rolled his eyes:

"Have you ever heard of 'elevator crashing to the top'? Elevator accidents don't just happen by falling; they can also go up! I told you to talk less and read more. See, you've exposed your ignorance again. Oh, by the way, you don't use elevators in the ocean, do you, sea turtles?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was furious. As a rich second-generation and a returned overseas student, she had never been bullied like this before. She screamed and started jumping around on the spot.

Bang!
The elevator dropped a few meters due to the vibrations from her jumping around, and the elevator lights began to flicker.

Several women started screaming at the same time. Because of his extremely sharp hearing, Hua Shier found these screams amplified infinitely in his ears. Although they did not affect him in any way, they were still annoying to hear.

He simply joined in the shouting, but he wasn't just yelling randomly; he started with Pavarotti's "O Sole Mio":
"Ah, how glorious, how brilliant the sunshine!"

It's the original sound, the original tone, even the original version, because his voice is exactly the same as Pavarotti's, only the pronunciation has been changed to Mandarin.

The moment the tenor sang, he silenced all the girls' screams. In fact, his beautiful voice surprised them and eased their fear.

Seeing that the girls had stopped shouting, Hua Shier stopped singing and complained:
"Women's screams are terrifying! If I hadn't unleashed my three tenors, I wouldn't have been able to subdue you!"

Andy couldn't help but laugh again, and his fear was somewhat relieved by the laughter.

Qiu Yingying exclaimed in surprise, "Idol, you're amazing!"

Guan Juer nodded in agreement with Qiu Yingying's statement, while Fan Shengmei adopted a pretentious tone:

"Wow, Wang Baichuan, I didn't know you had this skill!"

Hua Shier smiled faintly, looked at her and said, "We're old classmates, don't you know I was in the music club in college? So it's not just this one, there are five, six, seven or eight more!"

"Ah, really?"

Fan Shengmei's smile was somewhat forced. Back then, she was a goddess with many admirers around her. Why did she need to know what their hobbies and interests were, right?
Hua Shierchao and the other women said:

"I know you're scared, but everyone needs to stay calm right now. All we can do is wait patiently for rescue. Any loss of control of your emotions could lead to unpredictable consequences, just like what happened before. Please don't let your personal actions endanger everyone!"

Andy and Guan Guan both nodded, and Qiu Yingying immediately said, "I'll listen to my idol!"

Hua Shier chuckled and said, "You just called me your idol. When did I become your idol?"

Qiu Yingying quickly said, "It was that time in the elevator when you shut that old man up."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that the other party involved was also in the elevator. She looked over at Qu Xiaoxiao and saw that the woman's face had darkened. She immediately gave an awkward smile and stopped talking.

With Hua Shier's help, everyone calmed down and waited for rescue.

At this moment, for some reason, Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly started causing trouble again. She said to Andy:
"You heard what I said about you before we got on the elevator, right? I'm not talking about you behind your back, I said it to your face too. I hate mistresses and the like the most. I've investigated you, that car of yours belongs to Tan Zongming, doesn't it?"

At this moment, Hua Twelve suddenly spoke up:

"You think you can die without causing trouble? At a time like this, why are you making things worse for no reason!"

Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Andy, then at Hua Shier:
"So you've fallen for her too? Just because she's allowed to do it doesn't mean others can't talk about it?"

Hua Twelve scoffed:
"I can read faces. Your mother wasn't your father's first wife, was she? Judging from her face, she was definitely a mistress. Coincidentally, you were one too!"

"Look in the mirror and see if you have sunk cheeks, flirtatious eyes, and a pointed chin. In physiognomy, you have the face of a vixen, a mistress or concubine. So before you slander others, you'd better take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror first!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was furious. There's a saying that goes, "A lie won't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife." The reason she hated mistresses was because her mother was also called a mistress.

Although her family denies it, in reality, her own grandmother still won't let her and her mother into the house, and always refers to her as a mistress.

Upon hearing Hua Shier say those words about her and her mother, she screamed and reached out with her ten sharply manicured nails to scratch Hua Shier's face.

Hua Shier stood there without dodging or flinching until Qu Xiaoxiao's fingers were only 0.01 centimeters away from his face, then he stepped aside.

At this moment, Qu Xiaoxiao had already exerted her power and couldn't retract it in time. She grabbed at nothing and was pulled forward, losing her balance. With a thud, her head hit the side wall of the elevator and she passed out!
Hua Shier shrugged at the other girls: "You all saw it, she ran into the wall herself, it has nothing to do with me!"

The girls were speechless. If you don't provoke her, will she just run into a wall on her own?
Hua Shier pointed to a dent in the stainless steel wall of the elevator where Qu Xiaoxiao had bumped into her and said:

"Sea turtles are something else! Look how hard their heads are, they even dented metal when they bumped into it!"

Several girls:
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was rescued, and Qu Xiaoxiao also woke up with a huge bump on her head. She went to the hospital crying and threatened to teach Hua Shier a lesson.

Hua Shier yawned: "There are plenty of people who brag like this, who do you think you are!" Even the rescuers couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

After what had just happened, none of the girls dared to take the elevator again and decided to take the stairs instead, since there weren't many floors.

Hua Shier, oblivious to everything, entered another elevator. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Andy suddenly called out to him:

"Wang Baichuan, thank you!"

Hua Shier waved his hand. He knew what Andy was thanking him for, but in his opinion, he just disliked Qu Xiaoxiao and had no intention of speaking up for Andy.

Andy returned to 2201, and Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying, and Guan Juer returned to 2202 after saying goodbye to her.

As soon as she entered the house, Qiu Yingying excitedly said:
"Guan Guan, isn't my idol amazing? Look how annoying Qu Xiaoxiao is! My idol broke her defenses with just a few words. Do you guys think what my idol said is true? Does Qu Xiaoxiao look like a homewrecker?"

"enough!"

Suddenly, it wasn't Guan Guan who spoke loudly, but Fan Shengmei. For some reason, she felt a surge of irritation, as if there was a fire burning inside her. So when she heard Qiu Yingying talking about Wang Baichuan, she couldn't help but let that fire explode.

Didn't Wang Baichuan like her for over ten years? Didn't he move here for her sake? He even treated her to Western food at a five-star hotel and acted so enthusiastically. Wasn't he just trying to get her to give him a chance?

Why is all that feeling gone? I can't feel anything anymore. The way the other person looks at her is just like a regular friend. That's what's bothering her.

In fact, Fan Shengmei herself vaguely guessed why she was acting this way, but she just didn't want to admit it.

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were startled by Fan Shengmei. The former cautiously asked:
"What's wrong, Sister Fan?"

Fan Shengmei also realized her mistake and forced a smile:
"It's nothing, I guess I was just scared by what happened today. I'm sorry, little earthworm, I need to go and rest for a while!"

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer quickly asked Fan Shengmei a few words of concern and told her to go and rest. They even spoke in a much softer voice.

Time flew by and it was already 8 p.m. The doorbell of apartment 2201 rang. Andy checked the security camera and saw that Qu Xiaoxiao was standing outside the door.

She frowned slightly, initially intending to ignore it, but Qu Xiaoxiao seemed determined. She didn't say a word and just kept ringing the doorbell.

Having no other choice, Andy put down his work and went to open the door: "Is there something you need?"

Qu Xiaoxiao had completely lost her previous rude attitude. With a bandage on her head, she acted cute and charming:

"Andy, I misspoke, please forgive me."

Andy was somewhat speechless. She was introverted and not good at socializing, and seeing Qu Xiaoxiao like this, she didn't know what to say, so she could only nod.

"I'm not blaming you, okay? Now go back!"

He was about to close the door after saying that, but Qu Xiaoxiao stopped him with her hand, and then took out a box with her other hand:
"Clang clang clang clang!"

Qu Xiaoxiao said with a flattering expression:

"Andy, this is a gift for you, the latest silent Bluetooth earphones. Wear them while working and listening to music, and I guarantee you won't hear any noise!"

Andy sighed, "There's no noise on my end, thank you for the gift!"

Seeing that she was about to refuse, Qu Xiaoxiao quickly said:

“It’ll be here soon, Andy. Last time I had a party at home, it disturbed the neighbors on the 22nd floor. It was my fault. My friends are coming over today, and I think if you bring this, you won’t be bothered by the noise. Thank you for your help. We’re having a party tonight, so please bring this and don’t call the police, okay?”

Seeing the sincerity in her expression, Andy nodded: "Then thank you very much!"

"You're the best, Andy!"

Qu Xiaoxiao shoved the earphone case into Andy's hand, then waved goodbye!

Five minutes later, the same thing happened in room 2202. Fan Shengmei was about to refuse, but Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up as she looked at the earphone case:

"This is the latest model, right? I saw it costs over three thousand yuan. Qu Xiaoxiao, you gave away three of them. You're really generous!"

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly: "Isn't this another party coming up? So I'm trying to please all the neighbors in advance. If you bring this, I won't be worried about disturbing the peace!"

Fan Shengmei took the earphone case:

"Thank you so much, Qu Xiaoxiao. You guys have fun without worry. Xiao Qiu, Guan Guan, and I will stay home and listen to music. We'll enjoy these expensive headphones and see what's so great about them!"

She could make a good profit by selling headphones worth over three thousand yuan at a 60% discount.

Qu Xiaoxiao returned home and punched him hard:
"Yes!"

At 9 p.m., Hua Shier was playing games in the entertainment room when he suddenly heard wild disco music coming from upstairs. Accompanied by the roar of a subwoofer, it sounded like a lot of people were dancing together, and he felt the floor above his head shaking.

Hua Shier looked up, picked up his phone, and immediately called the police.

The police arrived shortly afterward. Hua Shier led the police upstairs and knocked directly on the door of room 2203.

When the door was opened by a young man, upon seeing Hua Twelve and Uncle Hat, he calmly said:

"Is there something you need, comrade? We're studying English right now!"

A row of young people, all dressed in business attire, sat upright in the room. Qu Xiaoxiao was giving a lecture to them, holding a book in her hand.

"Hello" means "hello" or "hello" in Chinese.

Uncle Hat thought it was a bit ridiculous; wasn't this something they learned in kindergarten?
He immediately asked, "Is this the downstairs resident who complained about your clubbing? Do you handle this kind of situation?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Qu Xiaoxiao came over and pretended to be pitiful:
"Uncle Hat, I have a small disagreement with the resident downstairs. He must be accusing me falsely. Look how quietly we're studying!"

Uncle Hat frowned. They had handled so many cases that they could tell at a glance that this woman was suspicious, but they had no evidence.

Hua Shier laughed. "Trying this trick, huh?" He said to Uncle Hat, "Sorry, comrade, I must have misheard you. Thank you for your help!"

Seeing that the person who called the police wasn't going to pursue the matter, Uncle Hat simply nodded.

"Okay, please let us know if anything comes up!"

As soon as Uncle Hat left and Qu Xiaoxiao closed the door, everyone acted as if they had won a battle, put on some upbeat music, and continued dancing.

Ten minutes later, with a crack, the window glass shattered, and then a large tray of firecrackers burst through the window, which looked to be at least ten thousand. When it landed on the ground, you could see that the fuse was still hissing and sparking.

Before anyone could react, it started exploding and crashing all over the place!
Chaos erupted in the room, thick smoke billowing from the explosion of the Earth Red and the smell of gunpowder. No one could find the door to escape, and only a few managed to get outside.

After all the firecrackers had gone off, the room was in complete disarray, not to mention what it looked like.

Everyone looked like coal miners who had just come down from the mine. Qu Xiaoxiao's simp, Yao Bin, had his face swollen and red from the explosion, and said speechlessly:
"Isn't this the 22nd floor? Why would someone throw firecrackers up here?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her beggar's clothes and her hair, which looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and screamed throughout the neighborhood:

"It must be that bastard! Call the police! I won't let him get away with this!"
