"No more? You're going to give me two million for free? Where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Jinxiu looked at Jiang Nanfang in astonishment.
He hadn't expected her to be so rich, so loyal, and so generous. What did she do?
Seeing him frown, as if he was having wild thoughts, Jiang Nanfang reached out and pinched his cheek.
"I earned it bit by bit with my own skills, saved it penny by penny with hard work. Stop overthinking!"
"If you hadn't been good to me recently, and if I didn't see some humanity in you, I wouldn't be giving it to you."
"Alright, alright, no more nonsense. Consider it spending money to maintain our relationship. Let this matter pass, and don't mention it again in the future."
Hmph.
Looking at their warm and loving interaction, Zhan Beijue felt like a clown.
The woman who always talked about money in front of him, who swindled 500,000 from him just to buy clothes, was actually so generous in front of Zhou Jinxiu?
Not only was she pregnant with his child, but she was also giving him two million?
He had initially felt some guilt and wanted to give her the apartment so she could stay and have a good life with the child.
His beautiful plan instantly turned into a joke.
Zhan Beijue felt like he had been played, and anger filled his chest. He desperately wanted to go in and hit someone!
But he held back.
He didn't want to admit he had lost to Zhou Jinxiu, didn't want to lose face in front of him. Even more, he didn't want Jiang Nanfang to see his true feelings!
He came out less than two minutes after entering, his face grim.
A Zhong hurried to meet him.
Zhan Beijue said coldly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that someone was coming to pay Jiang Nanfang's medical expenses?"
"?"
"She's not related to me, nor is she a Zhan Corporation employee. I have no reason to pay for her. Go, get the bill and demand all the medical expenses from her."
She was so rich, wasn't she? She didn't need him to show off his kindness for such a small amount of medical expenses!
"Ah?"
He had been fine just a moment ago, what happened... A Zhong was confused.
"What? Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Seeing A Zhong's embarrassed expression, Zhan Beijue's face became even uglier.
A Zhong knew that when the president was with Jiang Nanfang, he was either angry or on his way to being angry.
He figured they must have argued again.
And he actually wanted the medical expenses back...
"Understood, President Zhan."
Zhan Beijue turned to leave, and A Zhong nervously called out to him again.
"President Zhan, there's one more thing to report."
"Speak."
"The identities of the troublemakers at the club have been confirmed. They are still being held. Do you want to handle it personally, or...?"
It was perfect timing, as he was in a bad mood and looking for someone to vent his anger on.
"I'll handle it personally. You don't need to follow. Remember to get the medical expenses back."
Upon arriving at the club's lounge, the leader of the troublemakers, Brother Long, was surprisingly lying on the sofa, resting with all his limbs intact.
Zhan Beijue frowned as he walked to the doorway. Seeing Brother Long's demeanor, his anger intensified.
"Lock the door. No one is allowed in without my command."
He entered the room, his back to the security team, and threw out the command.
The door was locked. Brother Long, seeing that Zhan Beijue was alone, stood up from the sofa.
"Don't you know who I am? You've kept me here for days, do you want to die?"
"If you have the guts, give me back my phone! I can level this club with one call, believe it or not?"
Zhan Beijue unbuttoned his shirt, unbuttoning it as he nodded indifferently.
"I've heard. You're the son of a deputy director from Shangcheng, quite influential."
"Now that you know my identity, why aren't you apologizing and letting me go? What? Do you want to escalate things?"
"Of course, I'll let you go. But after being locked up for days, leaving without a gift would be quite rude. I'm here to give you a big gift."
"What big gift?"
Zhan Beijue rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and loosened his tie.
He walked up to Brother Long and threw a punch directly at his jaw.
"Fried Chestnuts."
"You're spewing profanities in front of me? Didn't you bother to find out whose territory this is beforehand."
Zhan Beijue stepped forward, grabbed Brother Long by the collar, and landed another heavy punch on his other cheek.
"This is Zhan Beijue from Nancheng, and today I am disrespecting Brother Long."
Then, he bent his knees and slammed them into Brother Long's stomach, before twisting his arm behind his back and rotating it 180 degrees.
With a crack, both arms were broken.
"Hurry back and tell your father to come and flatten me. Scram."
Jiang Nanfang squeezed Zhou Jinxiu's face, smiling tenderly.
Zhou Jinxiu looked at her gentle and lovely appearance, and his entire body felt electrified, a numb and tingling sensation, making him even more reluctant to part with her.
He then grasped her hand and pressed it against his face: "Why are you leaving Zhan Corporation? Is it necessary to change cities?"
"Tell me the truth, is it related to the child's father? Are you trying to hide from him?"
Jiang Nanfang's eyes darkened, and she withdrew her hand.
"Why bring this up out of the blue?"
"I'm really curious, Nanfang. You're so beautiful, so capable, and have such a great personality. What kind of man could make you pregnant?"
"Can you tell me? Who is that heartless man? I'll help you deal with him!"
"No need. I've already said it, it was consensual, no one owes anyone anything. Don't do anything rash."
He had finally gained his freedom and wanted to go out for some food and drinks.
But after Jiang Nanfang said that, he lost all his appetite.
At lunchtime, seeing her brother return unusually early, Zhou Jinbei teased him.
"Did the sun rise from the west today? My brother is back before midnight!"
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak." Zhou Jinxiu was annoyed and didn't want to deal with her, so he went upstairs directly.
It seemed he was in a bad mood.
There weren't many things that could upset him, so Zhou Jinbei was curious and followed him upstairs.
Entering the room, she saw her brother lying on the bed and sat down next to him.
"Brother, didn't Dad agree to let you go out today? Why are you still unhappy? Who upset you?"
Zhou Jinxiu mumbled, "No one upset me."
"You look so miserable when no one upset you. Did you have a breakup?"
Zhou Jinbei had just said it casually, but he fell silent after she said it.
As if she had discovered a new continent, Zhou Jinbei pounced on him.
"No way, I guessed right? You're dating someone? When did this happen?"
Zhou Jinxiu didn't want to talk about it. He pushed her away: "Get up, get lost, stop bothering me. There's nothing to tell you."
Zhou Jinbei laughed heartily: "You, Zhou Jinxiu, also have women you can't get? Oh, a slip of the tongue! Are you too poor recently, and she dislikes you?"
Zhou Jinxiu bragged: "With my charisma, do I need to spend money on women? It's good enough if they don't throw themselves at me!"
Alas, among the many women who were willing to throw themselves at him, only Jiang Nanfang was.
Such a good woman was leaving.
"A friend is leaving, and I'm a bit sad."
"A friend? A woman, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be sad?"
"What business is it of yours, Zhou Jinbei, aren't you annoying!"
Zhou Jinbei clung to him again.
"There's actually a woman who troubles my brother, and a woman who doesn't want to marry into our Zhou family. I'm really too curious. Brother, can you find her photo and show it to me?"
"Go to hell. Why should I show it to you?"
"Maybe I can even give you advice on how to win her back!"
"You?"
"I'm a woman too, don't look down on people!"
But a moment later, looking at the candid photo in her brother's album, she was stunned.
"You're fighting over a woman with second brother? You're actually fighting over a woman with second brother, don't you want to live anymore?"
