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 of her shouting and acting drunk.
No matter how much Ah Zhong tried to deceive himself, he could no longer do so.
He and Zhou Jinbei were not the same kind of people; no matter how hard he tried, they were fundamentally worlds apart.
Forget it, continuing to harbor illusions about her would only be a waste of time.
His gaze gradually turned cold.
After watching for a moment, he proactively deleted Zhou Jinbei from his WeChat.
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.
In their current state, they couldn't possibly go home, so they got a room at a nearby hotel.
Without removing her makeup or showering, the exhausted pair simply fell asleep.
It wasn't until eight in the morning, when Chen Jiaojiao's phone rang repeatedly, that they were rudely awakened.
"Who is it, rushing me like my life depends on it 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 name Lu Mingzhe flashing on the screen.
Why was he calling her? Could something be wrong?
Thinking he was her husband, Chen Jiaojiao propped her eyelids open and answered.
Lu Mingzhe's clear, cold voice came through.
"We agreed to go through the procedures today. I'm all set. When are you leaving?"
So he was calling to remind her to get a divorce.
Chen Jiaojiao instantly recalled what had happened last night.
How ridiculous, she had just thought...
Anger instantly woke Chen Jiaojiao up.
"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 annoyed, hearing him rush her made Chen Jiaojiao want to curse him out first thing in the morning.
"Is it that urgent, Lu Mingzhe? You divorce me and then immediately marry someone else? Why the rush? Look how eager 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 play games with you every day?"
Hah, as if he couldn't live without her and was reluctant to divorce her!
Chen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and sat up from the bed, holding her head.
"I'm leaving right now, you just wait for me!"
"Who likes to go back on their word? I can't wait to divorce you! You good-for-nothing 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 groggy from sleep and didn't want to move at all.
"Oh, just go by yourself."
"Are you even human, Zhou Jinbei? Who spent their 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 gets the certificate with that woman right after divorcing me!"
Chen Jiaojiao said indignantly.
"She's pregnant and they're in love. They were acting so affectionate in front of me. Don't you need to go and speak up for me?"
Zhou Jinbei's listless eyes suddenly sparkled. She sat up, filled with righteous indignation.
"I actually forgot about that, forgot that woman is 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. This is a test of human nature. After the divorce, I wonder if she'll speak up for you."
That sounded more like it.
Chen Jiaojiao cupped her face and gave her a peck.
"It's good to have a sister like you."
The two of them tidied up casually and returned to Chen Jiaojiao's place.
Grabbing their things and putting on exquisite makeup, they rushed. By the time they arrived at 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 immediately began with sarcastic remarks.
"You're really something. At the very end, you still want to cause trouble. Chen Jiaojiao, don't you know the words 'part on good terms'?"
Chen Jiaojiao, beautiful and refined, said dismissively.
"Who parted 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 revenge in the future, this is just the beginning!"
"Where is that vixen? Why didn't she come with you? Afraid I'll expose her in public?"
"Watch your mouth. Who is the vixen?"
"Whoever is the vixen knows it themselves."
Lu Mingzhe knitted his brows and strode towards them.
Fearing the two 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 even if you say more. Let's just drop it."
After accompanying them to complete 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, Zhou Jinbei, dragging her weary body, went to the hospital, thinking that Ah Zhong would be leaving early the next morning.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the ward, Ah Zhong was not there. A tall man stood by the bed, massaging Zhong's father's legs.
"Xiao Zhou is here."
Zhong's father's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he revealed a kind smile.
"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 saying, this child, he took care of me for so long, and he's already busy again before he could even rest. I haven't had a chance to thank you properly..."
Zhou Jinbei sat down beside him.
"Uncle Zhong, Ah Zhong and I are good friends. You're being too formal by 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. He came this morning, and it seems like she's quite good. I let him take her out for lunch."
Zhou Jinbei almost dropped her eyeballs in shock.
She just slept for a while, and in the time it took to have lunch with Chen Jiaojiao, he had already found a potential match?
"You guys are quite fast."
"Sigh. Ah Zhong is not young anymore. Where we come from, at his age, his children would already be in kindergarten."
Zhong's father sighed.
"My health isn't good. I might leave any day. While I'm alive, shouldn't I see him settle his lifelong affairs? Otherwise, it would be a disservice to his mother."
Zhou Jinbei hurriedly comforted him, "What are you saying? You're so young..."
Zhong's father smiled and changed the subject.
"A nurse is good. Stable job, clean social circle, and the girl is pretty too. I think this time, it's reliable."
The more Zhong's father praised the nurse, the more it pricked Zhou Jinbei's heart.
She forced a few awkward laughs and then asked about the man massaging his legs.
"Who is this?"
"Ah Zhong hired a caregiver for me. The little nurse helped find him too. She said she's been dealing with him and thinks he's a good person."
Zhong's father introduced.
"Xiao Lin, this is Xiao Zhou, whom I just mentioned to you who 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 heart attack.
