Jiang Nan Fang drove herself, so she didn't need a ride.
The two beautiful women left first.
Watching their retreating figures, Lu Ming Zhe couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder you can't forget your ex-wife, she truly has her merits."
Hearing Lu Ming Zhe praise Jiang Nan Fang for the first time, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but look over.
"What merits?"
"Beautiful, gentle, independent, rational, and most importantly, she's considerate and knows how to give a man face."
"Even though she didn't want any interaction with you, she still took good care of Chen Jiao Jiao just for your sake. Just this point alone is something an ordinary woman couldn't do."
Zhan Bei Jue raised his hand to unlock the car, leaving him with a cold back.
"Impressive. You figured out so much from one meal. Don't even think about having another meal with her."
"..."
The next morning, as soon as Zhan Bei Jue got out of bed, he received a call from Lu Ming Zhe.
He asked Zhan Bei Jue to take a day off today to accompany him and Chen Jiao Jiao for a school interview.
"Is your fiancée some kind of big shot? A royal princess? She needs me to personally accompany her for a school interview? You're really pushing it."
Lu Ming Zhe sounded righteous.
"Why are you speaking so harshly? I'm doing this for your own good, to create opportunities for you and your ex-wife?"
"What do you mean? She's going today too?"
"She has to go! For you, I must bring her along today no matter what!"
Zhan Bei Jue felt that Lu Ming Zhe 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 breakfast?"
"Oh, girls, after waking up, they definitely need to wash up, get dressed, and put on makeup. Where would they have time for breakfast?"
"They traveled all this way, and I couldn't even take care of their daily needs, but I can't possibly not treat them to breakfast, right?"
Just a few days ago, Zhan Bei Jue was despising himself for being spineless, living like a sycophant.
Today, he decided to let himself off the hook.
It turned out he wasn't the only one without backbone; Lu Ming Zhe was much more pathetic when it came to fawning!
"Aren't you going to buy me breakfast too? Don't my meals and daily life matter?"
"Bought it. Alright, I'm coming up, I'm at the door. Open the door and let me in."
The two men were whispering in the living room early in the morning, and Zhou Jin Bei was woken up.
Yawning, she walked out and saw Lu Ming Zhe, looking surprised.
"Are you two attending some important event today? Why are you up so early?"
Didn't Zhan Bei Jue hate interacting with women?
Couldn't stand being too close to women?
Why now?
Lu Ming Zhe couldn't believe his eyes.
"Why is she in the same room as you?"
Zhan Bei Jue: "Are you blind? Which eye saw her in the same room as me? Clearly, she's staying here, and I'm staying 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? Ming Zhe Ge..."
Zhou Jin Bei'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 Jin Bei looked at the large pile of breakfast on the table, exuding a delicious aroma, and couldn't help but lean closer.
"Why did you buy so much delicious food? There must be some for me. I'll take mine first, don't eat it all."
"Shameless, as if I haven't fed you when you're with me."
Zhan Bei Jue handed her a portion. "Hurry up and get lost."
But Zhou Jin Bei didn't leave even after taking the food.
"You haven't answered my question yet. So, what are you two going to do today?"
"It's a man's business, you shouldn't inquire."
"Man's business? Are you going to do something bad?!"
"It's broad daylight, Zhou Jin Bei, can't your brain function normally?"
Zhao Jin Bei chuckled.
"No matter what you're going to do, wait for me, okay? I'll wash my face and join you!"
Zhan Bei Jue glared at her.
"Are your ears faulty? I already said it's man's business..."
"Since I'm your assistant now, if you need someone to step in for any inconvenient situations..."
"Thank you, 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 waste it sleeping," Zhou Jin Bei pestered.
"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 last went home? You haven't even called your mother."
Zhou Jin Bei had been very busy and fulfilled lately.
It was only when he reminded her that she remembered it had indeed been a long time since she went home or called her mother.
"What should I go back with? I don't have any money. If I go back empty-handed, they'll definitely be disappointed."
The implication was that she wanted him to facilitate her return, and he had to make some gesture.
Zhan Bei Jue was truly exasperated by this cunning woman.
"You're always scheming against me. Your brain is so sharp, how could you have lost to Jiang Si Cheng?"
He truly couldn't understand.
"Take those two bottles of wine of mine and go back to give them to your father. Hurry up and get lost!"
Lu Ming Zhe didn't quite understand his words.
"What do you mean by 'lost to Jiang Si Cheng'? She knows Jiang Si Cheng too?"
Zhan Bei Jue mercilessly mocked her, "Not only does she know him, but ask her yourself, who is the foolish wife you're talking about who was deceived."
Lu Ming Zhe's eyes widened: "Could it be her?"
"Remove the 'could be,' it is her."
This was too shocking.
Anyone could be deceived, but Zhou Jin Bei, who was as sharp as a rabbit, actually...
"She's as sharp as a rabbit? You're giving her too much credit. She's as stupid as a pig."
Zhan Bei Jue said.
"Not only was she deceived, but she also got divorced and is pregnant with someone's child."
"You're divorced and still pregnant with Jiang Si Cheng's child?"
How could this girl be so shocking?
Before Lu Ming Zhe could express more surprise, Zhou Jin Bei interrupted them.
"If you're going to gossip, at least do it discreetly. I'm still here, and you're talking about it. Shut up, talk about it after I leave."
"Bei Bei, I really didn't expect..."
"Alright, alright, it's just having a child, 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. 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.
"Go whenever you want, what does it have to do with me?"
"Haven't you heard the old saying? Shaving your head in the first lunar month means your uncle dies."
"..."
Watching Zhan Bei Jue, who was rendered speechless by Zhou Jin Bei, Lu Ming Zhe couldn't help but sigh again.
This was truly a case of brine coagulating tofu, one thing subduing another.
The chemistry between people was truly marvelous.
