"I really want to see what Lu Mingzhe looks like now. He must be dying to die, with that breath stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down! Haha!"
Zhou Jinbei advised her to be kind.
"Have some conscience, you and Lu Mingzhe fought to a draw. Neither of you should say anything about the other from now on. The man is in a bad mood, don't go provoke him."
"Who wants to provoke him... Today is really a good day, to hear so much good news, I'm so excited I want to drink!"
Chen Jiaojiao was dancing with excitement.
"Let's go out to eat, I'll treat you to drinks!"
Zhou Jinbei said, "Can my sister-in-law drink in her current condition? Aren't you afraid my second brother will beat you?"
"You can't drink, but you can eat, right? I won't let you drink, okay?"
To be honest, Jiang Nanfang also found it boring to stay at home all the time.
It was rare for Zhan Beijue to be away, and she wanted to go out for a stroll.
Everyone agreed, Zhou Jinbei called Lu Qingxu, and the three of them went out.
On the way, Zhou Jinbei asked Chen Jiaojiao cheekily.
"Can I call my husband over too? We are newlyweds, I can't bear to eat without him."
Chen Jiaojiao waved her hand, "Bring him!"
"Thinking about how he spoke to me in the hospital last time makes me angry. If he comes today, I'll make him punish himself with 30 cups to apologize to me!"
When they arrived at the club, Chen Jiaojiao ordered a table full of wine.
At that time, Lu Qingxu was heartbroken over Mai Ledi and had no interest in work. When this group of friends came, and he heard that Zhou Jinbei was married, he immediately perked up.
He sat in the private room, planning to spend time with everyone.
Chen Jiaojiao nudged him, "Where's your brother? Call him over too. I heard he's heartbroken, I'll comfort him."
Although she knew this comfort was in quotation marks, Lu Qingxu still called him.
Lu Mingzhe had used all his connections but couldn't find Xiang Wan's whereabouts. He was like a lost soul and had been staying at the club for the past two days.
He drank when he woke up, and slept when he was drunk.
He was just looking for someone to relieve his boredom, and Zhou Jinbei and Chen Jiaojiao eagerly sent themselves over, so he wouldn't be polite.
When everyone sat together, they first exchanged taunts, then started challenging each other to drink.
"Zhou Jinbei, you got married without a word the first time, and none of us got to drink your wine. How about this time, you let me toast you properly! Tell me yourself, how many drinks is appropriate!"
Zhou Jinbei was so angry she wanted to hit Lu Mingzhe with a wine bottle.
"My current husband is sitting here, and you keep bringing up my past. What do you mean? Can't you wish me something good?"
Lu Qingxu smoothed things over.
"What kind of wedding was that first one? It was like it never happened, so everyone brought it up for discussion."
"Ah Zhong definitely doesn't mind. If he does, then consider my brother's mouth to be cheap, and I'll apologize to you on his behalf. I'll punish myself with three cups."
Ah Zhong naturally knew what Zhou Jinbei's first marriage was like.
She was pregnant with his child during the marriage, and in a way, he had wronged her.
It was even, so let's not bring up the past.
He stood up, "Let's not talk about the past. Beibei has a low alcohol tolerance and gets crazy when she drinks too much, so I'll drink for her."
"I'll punish myself with six cups. Thank you all for taking care of Beibei all this time. And thank you all for supporting us being together. Cheers!"
After speaking, he filled his glass, lifted it, and drank three cups consecutively.
Lu Mingzhe didn't like to bully honest people, and as he reached for the fourth cup, he grabbed him.
"Alright, I was just kidding. Do you really have to drink that much?"
"It's our wedding night, after all. If the groom gets too drunk, Zhou Jinbei will hate me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Except for Jiang Nanfang, everyone, whether happy or sad, had some concerns.
They drank cup after cup, and soon, everyone in the room was acting like lunatics.
Zhan Beijue, who was in Beicheng, finished his day's work and made a video call to Jiang Nanfang before going to bed.
Everyone's phones were lying on the sofa, and they couldn't tell whose was whose.
Seeing a phone flashing, Zhou Jinbei casually picked it up.
When connected, it was quiet on the other end, while here it was chaotic, noisy, and lively.
Seeing Zhou Jinbei's dazed face, Zhan Beijue's brow furrowed instantly.
"Zhou Jinbei, where is this? Why is Jiang Nanfang's phone with you? What are you doing?"
Zhou Jinbei, in a daze, held the phone up to her eyes. On the screen was Zhan Beijue's stern and cold face, which scared her into quickly throwing the phone to Lu Mingzhe next to her.
"It's for you, it's for you, why did it call me?"
The phone shook violently twice, and Lu Mingzhe's face appeared on the screen.
Just like Zhou Jinbei, his eyes were dazed, and there were intermittent voices of men and women around him.
Zhan Beijue understood.
Jiang Nanfang had sneaked out to have fun behind his back.
Let her have fun, but she still went to a club to drink!
Didn't she know her current condition?
"Lu Mingzhe, where is Jiang Nanfang? Why are you drinking together? Give her the phone!"
Lu Mingzhe felt upset. With a newly married couple sitting next to him, Zhan Beijue was still provoking him.
"Who else is on your mind besides Jiang Nanfang?"
"Do you know my buddy is heartbroken? Do you know my buddy is suffering?"
"When you were dumped, how did I treat you? Huh? Now I'm suffering, where are you? You don't have a little bit of..."
Chen Jiaojiao, listening from the side, felt like Lu Mingzhe was confessing to Zhan Beijue and couldn't stand it.
"Hurry up and return the phone to his wife. Those who know understand you were dumped by Xiang Wan, but those who don't would think it was Zhan Beijue."
"So what if you're heartbroken? Who here hasn't been heartbroken? Don't be like a resentful woman all day long."
The phone went around in everyone's hands and finally returned to Jiang Nanfang.
Seeing Zhan Beijue's eyes about to spew fire, Jiang Nanfang's first reaction was to raise her hand and swear to him.
"I didn't drink. I know my condition, I promise you, I didn't drink a single drop."
"..." Zhan Beijue was momentarily speechless.
"If you're bored at home, tell me, I'll take you out. Why hide it from me..."
"I didn't hide it. It's just that Beibei and Ah Zhong got their marriage certificate, and everyone is happy."
What? Zhou Jinbei actually managed to win Ah Zhong over?
Zhan Beijue rubbed his forehead.
Ah Zhong would have to take care of her for the rest of his life.
"I don't care about them. I only care about you. It's getting late, you should go home and rest. Ask Lu Qingxu to arrange a car to send you."
Jiang Nanfang: "I can drive myself, I already said I didn't drink..."
"Do you want me to call Lu Qingxu and scold him again?"
"Okay, okay, I'll ask him to arrange a car to send me."
So fierce, and with such a big child, treating herself like a daughter, a fatherly husband.
The room was too noisy, and they had to shout to talk.
After speaking, Jiang Nanfang said goodbye to him and prepared to hang up.
As a result, Zhan Beijue's phone shook, and she saw the shadow of a woman reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
It seemed to be a woman's shadow.
The shadow had long hair and flashed across the glass.
