Jiang Nan Fang drove herself, so she didn't need a ride.
The two beauties left ahead of time.
Watching their retreating figures, Lu Mingzhe couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder you can't forget your ex-wife. She really is something special."
Hearing Lu Mingzhe praise Jiang Nan Fang for the first time, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but look over.
"What's so special about her?"
"Beautiful, gentle, independent, rational, and most importantly, she knows how to behave and knows how to give a man face."
"Even though she doesn't want anything to do with you, she still took good care of Chen Jiaojiao just for your sake. Just based on that, she's not an ordinary woman."
Zhan Bei Jue raised his hand to unlock the car, leaving him with a cold back.
"Impressive. You figured out so much from just one meal. Don't expect to have dinner with her again anytime soon."
"..."
The next morning, as soon as Zhan Bei Jue got out of bed, he received a call from Lu Mingzhe.
He asked Zhan Bei Jue to take the day off to accompany him and Chen Jiaojiao to school interviews.
"Is your fiancée some kind of great figure? A royal princess? She needs me to personally accompany her to a school interview? You're really pushing it."
Lu Mingzhe spoke righteously.
"Can you not be so unpleasant? I'm doing this for your own good, to help you create opportunities with your ex-wife?"
"What do you mean? She's going today too?"
"She has to! For you, I have to get her to come today no matter what!"
Zhan Bei Jue felt that Lu Mingzhe was a friend worth having.
"Alright then. For you, I'll take a day off."
"Great, then come down now. We'll go give them breakfast together."
"Give them breakfast?"
"Oh, girls, when they wake up in the morning, they have to wash up, dress up, and put on makeup. When would they have time for breakfast?"
"They've come all this way, and I haven't taken care of their daily needs, but I can't not treat them to breakfast, can I?"
Just a few days ago, Zhan Bei Jue was despising himself for being pathetic, living like a sycophant.
Today, he decided to let himself off the hook.
It turned out he wasn't the only pathetic one; Lu Mingzhe was much more terrifying when he was fawning!
"Aren't you going to buy me breakfast too? Don't my meals and daily life matter?"
"I bought it. Okay, I'm coming up. I'm at the door. Open it and let me in."
The two men were whispering in the living room early in the morning, and Zhou Jinbei was woken up.
Yawning, she walked out and saw Lu Mingzhe, looking surprised.
"Is there an important event today? Why are you two up so early?"
Didn't Zhan Bei Jue dislike interacting with women?
Could he not stand being too close to women?
What about now?
Lu Mingzhe couldn't believe his eyes.
"Why is she staying in the same room as you?"
Zhan Bei Jue: "Are you blind? Which eye saw her staying in the same room as me? Clearly, she's staying over here, and I'm over there."
"What I mean is..."
"That's enough," Zhan Bei Jue interrupted him. "It's similar to your fiancée's situation, don't ask."
"Fiancée? You're getting married? Who is it? Why haven't I heard about it before? When? Where? Brother Mingzhe..."
Zhou Jinbei's gossip desire was instantly ignited.
Zhan Bei Jue cut her off.
"Get lost, get lost, it has nothing to do with you. Go wash your face and brush your teeth."
Zhou Jinbei looked at the large pile of breakfast on the table, its aroma wafting, and couldn't help but lean closer.
"Why did you buy so much delicious food? There must be some for me too. I'll take mine first, don't eat it all for me."
"Pathetic. It's like you've never eaten with me before."
Zhan Bei Jue handed her a portion. "Quick, get lost."
However, Zhou Jinbei took the food and didn't leave.
"You haven't answered my question yet. So, what are you two going to do today?"
"It's a man's business, you don't need to inquire."
"Man's business? Are you going to do something bad?!"
"It's broad daylight, Zhou Jinbei, can your brain function normally?"
Zhao Jinbei chuckled.
"No matter what you're going to do, wait for me, okay? After I wash my face, I want to join you!"
Zhan Bei Jue glared at her.
"Are your ears malfunctioning? I already said it's a man's business..."
"Since I'm your assistant now, what if you need me to step in for something inconvenient..."
"Thank you, but no need. You have the day off today, do whatever you want."
"Ah? Not going to the company today? You should have said so earlier, or I wouldn't have gotten up!"
Zhan Bei Jue retorted, "It's not too late to go back to sleep now."
"I finally have a day off, I don't want to sleep it away," Zhou Jinbei persisted.
"I want to go with you. Wait for me!"
"Go back and see your mother, Miss Zhou. Do you know how long it's been since you've been home? You haven't even called your mother."
Zhou Jinbei had been very busy and fulfilled lately.
Reminded by him, she finally remembered that it had been a long time since she had been home, and even longer since she had called her mother.
"What do I go back with? I don't have money. If I go back empty-handed, they'll definitely be disappointed."
The implication was that if you want me to go home, you should give me something.
Zhan Bei Jue was truly amazed by this cunning person.
"You're always scheming against me. With such a sharp mind, how could you have lost to Jiang Sicheng?"
He truly couldn't understand it.
"Take those two bottles of wine of mine back to give to your father. Now get out!"
Lu Mingzhe didn't quite understand his words.
"What do you mean by 'lost to Jiang Sicheng'? She knows Jiang Sicheng too?"
Zhan Bei Jue ruthlessly mocked her, "Not only does she know him, but ask her yourself who the 'foolish wife' who was deceived by them is."
Lu Mingzhe's eyes widened: "Could it be her?"
"Remove the 'could be', it is her."
This was truly astonishing.
Anyone could be deceived, but Zhou Jinbei, who was as cunning as a rabbit, actually...
"She's as cunning as a rabbit, you think too highly of her. She's as stupid as a pig, more like it."
Zhan Bei Jue said.
"Not only was she deceived, but she also got divorced and got pregnant."
"You got divorced and are still pregnant with Jiang Sicheng's child?"
How could this girl be so shocking?
Before Lu Mingzhe could express further surprise, Zhou Jinbei spoke up to stop them.
"When you're gossiping, at least have some discretion. You're talking about it right in front of me. Shut up, talk about it after I leave."
"Beibei, I really didn't expect..."
"Alright, alright, it's just having a baby, what's the big deal? I was born to have fun for myself, not to take care of him until he's old and gone. He doesn't even know about this."
"Ah?"
"I'm warning you, my gossip stops with you two. If you spread it further, once the child is born, I'll take him to get his head shaved on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
Zhan Bei Jue didn't understand what she meant and said indifferently.
"You can go whenever you want, what does that have to do with me?"
"Haven't you heard the old saying? Shaving your head in the first month brings bad luck to your uncle."
"..."
Seeing Zhan Bei Jue rendered speechless by Zhou Jinbei, Lu Mingzhe couldn't help but sigh again.
This was truly a case of brine curdling tofu; one thing conquers another.
The chemistry between people is truly magical.
