After finishing one video, there was another.
In a short while, Ah Zhong had watched over a dozen videos about male models.
It was already so late, yet Zhou Jinbei was still in high spirits.
The videos were all filled with her shouting drunkenly.
No matter how much Ah Zhong tried to deceive himself, he couldn't anymore.
He and Zhou Jinbei were not the same kind of people. Even if he tried harder, they were fundamentally worlds apart.
Forget it. Continuing to harbor illusions about her was just a waste of time.
His gaze gradually turned cold.
After watching for a moment, he actively deleted Zhou Jinbei from his WeChat contacts.
Then, he found her phone number and deleted that too.
The two of them partied until past four in the morning before leaving the bar.
They were in no state to go home, so they got a room at a nearby hotel.
Without removing their makeup or showering, exhausted, they simply fell asleep.
It wasn't until eight in the morning, when Chen Jiaojiao's phone rang repeatedly, that they were grudgingly woken up.
"Who is it, chasing us to death so early? Can't you turn off your phone?"
Chen Jiaojiao, with her eyes closed, fumbled for her phone, intending to turn it off. However, with one press, she saw the flashing name "Lu Mingzhe" on the screen.
Why was he calling her? Could something have happened?
Thinking he was her husband, Chen Jiaojiao propped open her eyelids and answered.
Lu Mingzhe's clear and cold voice came through.
"We agreed to go through with the procedures today. I'm all set. When are you leaving?"
It turned out he was calling to remind her to get a divorce.
Chen Jiaojiao instantly recalled what had happened last night.
How ridiculous. Just now, she had thought...
Anger made Chen Jiaojiao instantly wide awake.
"Wait. I haven't gotten up yet, and I haven't put on my makeup."
"You're going to get a divorce certificate, not a marriage certificate. Why do you need makeup? Hurry up."
Already angry, hearing him rush her, Chen Jiaojiao felt like cursing him out first thing in the morning.
"Is it that urgent, Lu Mingzhe? You want to marry someone else right after divorcing me? In such a hurry? Look at how anxious you are!"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry. It's mainly because you like to go back on your word."
Lu Mingzhe said coldly.
"If I don't strike while the iron is hot, what if you regret it again? Who has the time to deal with your childish games every day?"
Hmph, as if he couldn't live without her and was reluctant to divorce her!
Chen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, grabbed her head, and sat up in bed.
"I'm leaving right now. You wait for me!"
"Who likes to go back on their word? I can't wait to divorce you! You scumbag who sleeps with everyone!"
With that, she pushed Zhou Jinbei.
"Get up, I'm going to divorce Lu Mingzhe. Come with me."
Zhou Jinbei was still groggy from sleep and didn't want to move.
"Oh, just go by yourself."
"Are you even human, Zhou Jinbei? Who spent time and money accompanying you when you were feeling down yesterday?"
"Have you forgotten how those male models served you and admired you? Now that I'm in trouble and need your support, you're treating me like this?"
Zhou Jinbei slowly opened her eyes and looked at her weakly.
"You're going to get a divorce. How can I help?"
"Lu Mingzhe is so despicable. What if he goes and registers his marriage with that woman right after divorcing me!"
Chen Jiaojiao said indignantly.
"She's pregnant and they're madly in love, flaunting their affection in front of me. Don't you think you should go and speak up for me?"
Zhou Jinbei's listless eyes instantly sparkled. She got up, filled with righteous indignation.
"I actually forgot about that. I forgot she's already pregnant. This is too much. Don't worry. I'll definitely let his mother know about this!"
"Aunt Lu has always treated you well. Now is the time to test human nature. After the divorce, let's see if she'll say a word in your favor."
That's more like it.
Chen Jiaojiao cupped her face and gave her a smacking kiss.
"My sisterhood with you wasn't in vain."
After tidying themselves up briefly, they returned to Chen Jiaojiao's home.
They grabbed their things, put on exquisite makeup, and rushed. By the time they arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was almost ten o'clock.
Lu Mingzhe sat in his car, glancing at his watch from time to time.
Seeing them finally arrive, he got out of the car and started with sarcastic remarks.
"You're something else, weren't you? At the last moment, you just had to be difficult. Chen Jiaojiao, don't you know the phrase 'parting on good terms'?"
Chen Jiaojiao, beautiful and exquisite, said dismissively.
"Who is parting on good terms with you? We didn't part on good terms back then, so naturally, we won't part on good terms now. I will get my revenge in the future, this is just the beginning!"
"Where is that vixen? Why isn't she here with you? Afraid I'll expose her in public?"
"Watch your mouth, who are you calling a vixen?"
"Whoever is the vixen knows it herself."
Lu Mingzhe knitted his brows and strode towards them.
Fearing the two of them would start fighting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhou Jinbei stood between them.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Since he didn't bring that woman today, no one will listen if you say more. Let's just drop it."
After accompanying them through the divorce procedures, she also accompanied Chen Jiaojiao for lunch.
Finally free, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Although very tired and wanting to catch up on sleep, thinking that Ah Zhong would be leaving early the next morning, Zhou Jinbei still dragged her weary body to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the ward, Ah Zhong was not there. A tall man stood by the bedside, massaging the legs of Zhong's father.
"Xiao Zhou is here."
Zhong's father's eyes lit up when he saw her, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Ah Zhong said you've been busy lately and haven't had time to come to the hospital. I thought you wouldn't come anymore."
"I was thinking, this child, he took care of me for so long, and he hasn't had a chance to rest yet, and he's already busy again. I haven't had a chance to thank you properly..."
Zhou Jinbei sat down next to him.
"Uncle Zhong, Ah Zhong and I are good friends. You're being too formal saying that. Where is he?"
"Didn't your Sister Wang add him on WeChat yesterday? She said she wanted to introduce him to a nurse. The person came this morning, and it seems pretty good. I let him take her out for lunch."
Zhou Jinbei was so shocked she almost dropped her eyeballs.
She just slept for a while, and while accompanying Chen Jiaojiao for a meal, he had already arranged a blind date?
"You guys are quite quick."
"Sigh. Ah Zhong is not young anymore. Where we come from, at his age, children would already be in kindergarten."
Zhong's father sighed.
"My health is not good, and I might leave any day. While I'm alive, I must see him settle his lifelong affairs. Otherwise, it would be a disservice to his mother."
Zhou Jinbei quickly comforted him, "What are you saying? You're so young..."
Zhong's father smiled and changed the subject.
"A nurse is good. The job is stable, her circle is clean, and the girl is pretty. I think this time, it's reliable."
The more Zhong's father praised her, the more disheartened Zhou Jinbei felt.
She forced a few awkward laughs and then asked about the man massaging his legs.
"Who is this?"
"Ah Zhong hired him as a caregiver for me. The nurse also helped find him. She said she's been dealing with him and that he's a good person."
Zhong's father introduced.
"Xiao Lin, this is Xiao Zhou who, as I just mentioned, helped take care of me."
The man looked up and gave Zhou Jinbei a simple, honest smile.
Zhou Jinbei was so angry she felt like she was having a myocardial infarction.
