"Lu Mingzhe reportedly argued with his mother and injured himself with a knife. Do you want to come over and see?"
Something like that happened?
Such grown adults, one burning himself into pneumonia, and the other thinking he's a male lead in a martial arts drama, slashing himself with a knife...
As a friend, she should go and see.
But then she thought about what Zhan Bei Jue did last night...
Serves him right, this is heaven punishing him. He's lucky he didn't die from the illness.
"I'm not a doctor, what can I do if I go? With your second brother's suspicious nature, he might even think I'm going to mock him."
"It's fine to listen to gossip behind closed doors, I won't join the fun in person. You go, I'm going to sleep."
Didn't Zhan Bei Jue drive all the way to Jiangcheng for her last night, and stayed in her room for so long? If he didn't have merit, he at least had effort. Didn't Jiang Nan Fang feel even a little touched?
Zhou Jin Bei didn't dare to ask directly, and pulled her.
"Don't go yet. Both of them have terrible tempers. I'm all alone and pitiful. Forget talking, I don't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone sleep. Can't you just stay and chat with me for a while?"
"Chat about what?"
Jiang Nan Fang thought back to yesterday again. She clearly had no call records on her phone, but Zhan Bei Jue insisted she called him.
This was a good opportunity to indirectly ask Zhou Jin Bei.
"Alright then, I'll chat with you for a while. What were you busy with yesterday?"
"Yesterday? Working. I've been working overtime these past few days. When I called you last night, I hadn't even left the office yet."
"I remember it was very late. You're just an assistant. The main person has already left work, what were you still doing there?"
"Who told you the main person had left work? My second brother was busy until very late yesterday. In short, he leaves, I leave. If he doesn't leave, I definitely can't. I'm not that stupid, staying alone when he's not here?"
So, when she was talking to Zhou Jin Bei yesterday, Zhan Bei Jue was still at the company. How did he appear next to her when she opened her eyes?
"Are you sure you finished work very late yesterday?"
"Of course I'm sure. I didn't sleep after work, I even went on a business trip!"
"A business trip? What kind of business trip?"
"Went to Jiangcheng... Speaking of which, I was also careless. My second brother was already showing signs yesterday, he was listless and couldn't muster any energy. I drove the whole way..."
Zhou Jin Bei deliberately amplified the atmosphere: "If he wasn't allowed to go to Jiangcheng then, and came directly to the hospital, perhaps it wouldn't have been so serious. It's also my negligence."
Jiang Nan Fang's head buzzed again.
Could it be that she was the one who called Zhan Bei Jue late at night yesterday, asking him to go to Jiangcheng?
"What were you doing in Jiangcheng so late at night?"
"Who knows? My second brother was like crazy, he suddenly wanted to go. It was already past one in the morning when we got there, and we drove back at over six in the morning."
Zhou Jin Bei sighed: "Slept all night, and then was busy with the bidding all day. How could he not get sick? Even a robot couldn't withstand such continuous work."
After saying that, Zhou Jin Bei felt like praising her own cleverness.
Fortunately, I know everything about you. You want to trick me, so I'll trick you!
Jiang Nan Fang didn't know that Zhou Jin Bei knew even more than she did. Hearing her say that, a hint of guilt arose in her heart.
If it was really her who called Zhan Bei Jue late at night, asking him to travel to Jiangcheng overnight to settle things for her, and then return early in the morning...
Damn Zhan Bei Jue, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Say he loves her, yet he's involved with other women. He even tacitly accepted the scandal.
Say he doesn't love her, yet when something happens, he truly shows up.
Her mind was a mess, she couldn't chat any longer.
She put down her phone, took a shower, and forced herself to sleep.
The next day, Zhan Bei Jue, whose fever had mostly subsided, could eat and drink. Lu Mingzhe wasn't as lucky.
As the anesthesia wore off, the wound was painful. His symptoms were even more severe than yesterday, and he remained in a deep sleep.
Zhou Jin Bei ordered takeout, bringing congee for Zhan Bei Jue to eat, but Zhan Bei Jue refused.
"I don't want to eat, don't bother me. Go stay somewhere else."
"What? You don't like the taste? I can't cook, I'm afraid of alarming the old man, and I don't dare to tell the chef at home. Just try to eat a little to make do."
"With such a weak body, how can you have resistance without eating? Come on..."
Zhan Bei Jue didn't want to be hospitalized. Lying on the hospital bed doing nothing but thinking wildly made him irritable.
"I'm not a three-year-old child, you don't need to lecture me. I'm annoyed, stay away from me."
Zhou Jin Bei knew what he was annoyed about with her toes, so she could only help him call Jiang Nan Fang in the group chat.
"Help, you two save me."
"My second brother's fever finally subsided today, and he can eat. But he dislikes the taste of takeout and refuses to eat. I don't dare to alarm the old man, and I can't go home to have the nanny cook for him, so he's scolding me badly."
"Who can give me some advice? Wuwuwu~"
Chen Jiao Jiao sent a shrug emoji: "People who can't cook have no right to speak."
"Speaking of which, your second brother is too fussy. It's already this time, as long as it fills your stomach, you're still being picky."
Zhou Jin Bei was protective: "Seeing Lu Mingzhe like this when he opened his eyes, how could his mood be good?"
"Besides, he just got over his fever, so he naturally has no appetite. Sister Nan Fang, you're a good cook, do you want to help me?"
"My second brother's lips are so dry they're peeling, his body is extremely dehydrated. If he doesn't eat properly soon..."
"Anyway, cooking is a piece of cake for you, help me, okay?"
After saying that, she ran to Zhan Bei Jue's side and whispered to him.
"Sister Nan Fang is coming to bring you food, tell me what you want to eat quickly!"
Zhan Bei Jue slowly lifted his eyelids, with an expression that said if you dare to lie to me, you'll die.
Zhou Jin Bei handed him her phone: "For you, look at what I've done. Do you still have to look at me like this?"
Zhan Bei Jue looked at the screen. Seeing that she had said so much for him behind his back, he closed his eyes again.
"Shredded chicken and ginger congee. She can figure out the rest herself."
Zhou Jin Bei: "..."
Don't pretend in front of me, okay?
"Sister Nan Fang, he specifically asked for shredded chicken and ginger congee, with black chicken broth. Where am I supposed to get that for him? Save me, child."
Jiang Nan Fang, on the other end of the phone, looking at Zhou Jin Bei's messages one by one, couldn't help but feel compassion.
"So many demands. Wait."
Zhou Jin Bei couldn't help but jump up to show off.
"She agreed, she's going back to cook now. How about that? I'm doing a pretty good job as an insider, right?"
She's coming to see me later?
He hadn't washed his face or brushed his teeth, and he was still wearing such an ugly hospital gown. Zhan Bei Jue suddenly cared about his image.
"Take these things off me and help me up."
"What for? The doctor told you not to move. Why are you getting up when you're fine?"
"What do you mean why? I haven't even washed my face, don't I need to wash my face and brush my teeth?"
Zhou Jin Bei almost died laughing.
"Forget it. When you're a patient, the more pathetic you look, the more people will pity you. If you clean yourself up, and she sees you, will she feel heartbroken? Lie down."
