“No more? You want 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 and appear to be thinking something amiss, Jiang Nanfang reached out and pinched his face.
“I earned it bit by bit with my own ability, saved it painstakingly cent by cent. Don’t you go misinterpreting things!”
“If you hadn’t been good to me recently, and if I didn’t see that you had some humanity, I wouldn’t be giving it to you.”
“Alright, alright, enough with the nonsense. Just consider it as spending money to maintain our relationship. This matter is settled, don’t mention it again.”
Heh.
Watching their warm and loving interaction, Zhan Beijue felt like a clown.
The woman who talked about money with him all the time, and even tried to fleece him for 500,000 yuan just to buy clothes, was actually so generous with Zhou Jinxiu?
Not only was she pregnant for him, but she was also giving him two million?
He had initially felt somewhat guilty and wanted to give her the apartment, so she could stay and have a good relationship with the child.
His pleasant 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 restrained himself.
He didn’t want to admit he had lost to Zhou Jinxiu, didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of him. Even more, he didn’t want Jiang Nanfang to see his true feelings!
Less than two minutes after entering, the CEO walked out with a somber expression.
A Zhong rushed to meet him.
Zhan Beijue said coldly, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner that someone was coming to pay Jiang Nanfang’s medical expenses?”
“??”
“She’s not related to me, nor is she an employee of Zhan’s. I have no reason to pay for her. Go, get the bill and give it to her. I want all the medical expenses back.”
Didn’t she have plenty of money? She didn’t need him to show off his kindness for such a small amount!
“Ah?”
He had been fine just now, what happened… A Zhong was confused.
“What? Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Seeing A Zhong’s awkwardness, Zhan Beijue’s expression became even uglier.
A Zhong knew that whenever the CEO was with Jiang Nanfang, he was either angry or on his way to getting angry.
He guessed they had quarreled again.
And now he wanted to get the medical fees 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 I need to report to you.”
“Speak.”
“The identities of the troublemakers at the club have all been investigated. They are still being held. Will you be handling it personally or…?”
It was perfect timing, as he was in a bad mood and looking for someone to vent his frustration on.
“I’ll go 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 and, with his back to the security team, threw out the instruction.
The door was locked. Brother Long saw that Zhan Beijue was alone and stood up from the sofa.
“Do you the hell know who I am? You dare to lock me up here for days, are you tired of living?”
“If you have the guts, give me back my phone! One call from me, and I can flatten this club, believe it or not!”
Zhan Beijue unbuttoned his shirt, nodding indifferently as he did so.
“I heard. You’re the son of a deputy section chief from Shangcheng. Quite the background.”
“Now that you know my identity, why aren’t you apologizing and letting me go? What? Do you insist on escalating this?”
“I will definitely let you go. However, after being locked up for so many days, leaving without giving me a gift would be terribly 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 around his neck.
He walked up to Brother Long and landed a punch directly on his jaw.
“Fried Chestnuts.”
“You dare to curse at me? Did you not bother to inquire beforehand whose territory this is?”
Zhan Beijue stepped forward, grabbed Brother Long by the collar, and landed another fierce punch on his other cheek.
“Zhan Beijue of Nancheng. Today, I will indeed disrespect Brother Long.”
Then, he bent his knee and forcefully rammed it into Brother Long’s stomach. He then twisted his arm behind his back, rotated it 180 degrees to the side, and with a cracking sound, both arms were broken.
“Quickly go back and tell your old man to come and flatten me. Get lost.”
Jiang Nanfang pinched Zhou Jinxiu’s face, smiling tenderly.
Looking at her gentle and lovely appearance, Zhou Jinxiu felt as if an electric current had passed through him, leaving him both numb and thrilled. He felt even more reluctant to let her go.
He seized her hand and placed it on his face. “You’re leaving Zhan’s, and that’s fine. But do you really need to change cities?”
“Tell me the truth, is this related to the child’s father? Are you trying to hide from him?”
Jiang Nanfang’s eyes darkened, and she pulled her hand back.
“Why bring this up out of the blue?”
“I’m truly curious, Nanfang. You are so beautiful, so capable, and have such a good personality. What kind of man could make you pregnant for him?”
“Can you tell me? Who is that heartless scoundrel? I’ll help you deal with him!”
“No need. I’ve already said it, it was consensual, and 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.
During lunchtime, seeing her brother return unexpectedly, Zhou Jinbei taunted him.
“Did the sun rise from the west today? My brother is back before midnight!”
“No one will think you’re dumb 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, out of curiosity, followed him upstairs.
Entering the room, she saw her brother lying on the bed and sat down beside him.
“Brother, Dad agreed to let you go out today, right? Why are you still unhappy? Who upset you?”
Zhou Jinxiu mumbled, “No one upset me.”
“You look like you’re about to die, but you say no one upset you. Did you break up with someone?”
Zhou Jinbei had just said it casually, but upon hearing her words, he fell silent.
As if she had discovered something new, Zhou Jinbei pounced on him.
“No way, did I guess right? You’re dating someone? When did that happen?”
Zhou Jinxiu didn’t want to talk about it. He pushed her away, “Get up, get lost, don’t bother me. There’s nothing to tell you.”
Zhou Jinbei burst into laughter, “Even you, Zhou Jinxiu, can’t win over a woman? Oh dear, a misstep! Is it because you’re too poor lately, and she looked down on you?”
Zhou Jinxiu boasted, “With my personality and charm, do I need to spend money on women? It’s already good if they don’t throw themselves at me!”
Alas, speaking of which, among all the women, Jiang Nanfang was the only one willing to throw herself at him.
Such a good woman, and she was leaving.
“It’s just a friend who is leaving, and I’m a bit sad.”
“A friend? A female friend, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be sad?”
“What’s it to you, Zhou Jinbei, aren’t you annoying!”
Zhou Jinbei clung to him again.
“There’s actually a woman who’s causing my brother distress, and who doesn’t want to marry into our Zhou family. I’m so curious. Brother, can you find her photo for me to see?”
“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!”
However, a moment later, looking at the candid photo in her brother’s album, she was dumbfounded.
“You’re fighting for a woman with Second Brother? You’re actually going to fight Second Brother for a woman? Do you want to die?”
