Jiang Nan Fang Zhan Bei Jue

Chapter 731 A Joke A Joke He

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Xiang Wan and Lu Mingzhe in the room. Xiang Wan lay beside Lu Mingzhe, fiddling with her phone, saying she wanted to unblock Xiang Yang and meet him for a good talk.

She asked Lu Mingzhe if she could have Xiang Yang visit her in the hospital room.

Of course.

No matter how much unpleasantness he and Xiang Yang had before, it was all for Xiang Wan.

Now that he and Xiang Wan had reconciled, it was only a matter of time before the siblings reconnected. What right did he have to stop them?

He just wondered if Xiang Yang had returned to school yet...

Thinking that once they reconnected, they would undoubtedly share what had happened over the past year, and Xiang Yang would surely tell his sister. Lu Mingzhe didn't say anything further.

As a result, Xiang Wan unblocked him and sent him a WeChat message. Several hours passed without a reply.

"Is he in class and didn't see it? But it's been so long, class should be over. Should I call him?"

During dinner, Xiang Wan called him twice.

No one answered.

"Could something have happened to him?"

Lu Mingzhe was also startled.

After all, this was Xiang Yang's first love. He didn't know how Chen Jiaojiao had broken up with him. If there was any unpleasantness, and this boy was prone to overthinking...

He secretly sent a message to a friend, asking if Xiang Yang had returned to school.

His friend sent back a voice message.

"Your brother-in-law is quite something. He's entered the entertainment industry as a celebrity, what school is he still going to?"

"Not everyone can be a celebrity. Seizing this opportunity while the trend is hot is great. If you ask me, you shouldn't bother with him."

"I called him twice before and couldn't get through. Later, his agent answered, saying he joined some training camp as a trainee, preparing to debut in a talent show. You call yourself a brother-in-law, how do you know less than I do?"

Lu Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief.

So nothing had happened, he had gone for intensive training as a trainee. He really was something.

Seeing Xiang Wan start to overthink, and knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Lu Mingzhe handed her his phone.

As expected, Xiang Wan was greatly surprised.

"He's not going to school anymore? He dropped out for half a year? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I couldn't reach you before. I thought since school had been arranged for him, he would definitely go back. Who knew this kid..."

"If you ask me, you shouldn't bother with him anymore. He's old enough to take responsibility for his actions. Becoming a celebrity isn't a bad thing. After all, he's a man; if he gets exploited, he won't suffer any loss."

Xiang Wan, having weathered many storms since childhood, understood how important opportunities were to a person. Xiang Yang's path was also his own cultivation.

As long as he was happy, and could live a good life on top of his happiness, she would support him in whatever he did.

It was just a pity that he had finally gotten into university, only to lose his academic qualifications like this. What if his career in stardom wasn't smooth in the future?

"When we can finally contact him, I still want to persuade him. Having an extra qualification in hand is always good."

"Ask your friend to help again and arrange a leave of absence for him."

A week later, Lu Mingzhe was discharged from the hospital.

To thank his friends for visiting him in the hospital, he decided to host a banquet.

Since it was inconvenient for him to go out, and Xiang Wan didn't want to face his friends alone, she decided to cook at home and have them come over for dinner.

Lu Mingzhe, doting on her, wanted to call the housekeeper to help, but Xiang Wan refused.

After all, she wasn't familiar with Lu Mingzhe's mother, and using his housekeeper already felt strange.

Lu Mingzhe then messaged Zhou Jinbei, asking her and Chen Jiaojiao to come over and help.

Zhou Jinbei was naturally happy to do so and immediately called Chen Jiaojiao.

However, Chen Jiaojiao refused to go.

"Why not? Do you feel awkward because of the situation and feel embarrassed?"

Chen Jiaojiao retorted, "Shouldn't I feel embarrassed?"

"You shouldn't. Although you're his first ex-wife, you attended his wedding with Fang Shuya. What's one more person like Xiang Wan?"

"..."

Chen Jiaojiao wished she could reach through the phone and hit her. How could she be so mean?

Zhou Jinbei smiled again, "As long as you're not embarrassed, the embarrassment lies with others. This is your life principle, Chen Jiaojiao. I know you well enough, don't try to fob me off with this."

"Tell me the truth. Has Lu Mingzhe upset you again recently?"

Chen Jiaojiao didn't tell the truth. "What could he do to upset me? I don't contact him privately."

"Then you have even less of an excuse. He hasn't upset you, and he's kindly invited you for dinner. Everyone is a friend, and you'll see each other around. If you break the ice this time, you'll be completely comfortable in the future. This day will come sooner or later."

"It's not that I'm not going, it's that I'm busy and can't get away."

"Chen Jiaojiao, can you find a better excuse to fool me? Enough talk, it's decided. I'll drive to pick you up."

Zhou Jinbei didn't give her a chance to refuse and dragged Chen Jiaojiao into the car.

On the way, Chen Jiaojiao tried to speak several times, wanting to tell Zhou Jinbei about her and Xiang Yang.

But she felt it was too shameful.

She had, by her own actions, made the relationships within this small circle extremely awkward.

She truly had no face to say anything.

They arrived at Lu Mingzhe's house like this.

Upon opening the door and seeing Xiang Wan, Zhou Jinbei very familiarly hugged her.

Chen Jiaojiao watched, realizing she had been blind.

Xiang Yang and Xiang Wan looked so similar, the curve of their profile, the affectionate peach blossom eyes when they looked at someone, how alike they were!

How could she never have thought they were siblings?

She had truly been blinded by male beauty.

Chen Jiaojiao, Chen Jiaojiao, stop being lovesick. When will you ever grow up?

Everyone was getting better and better, only you were stumbling again and again with men. Sigh.

Seeing that Chen Jiaojiao had no intention of hugging her, Xiang Wan smiled and let her in.

They discussed dinner and began preparing the dishes in the kitchen.

As Chen Jiaojiao picked up a bunch of vegetables, Zhou Jinbei asked her.

"Aren't you going to see Lu Mingzhe first? When he married Fang Shuya, I remember you made a bet with me at the wedding. Now that you've won, shouldn't you go and mock him a little?"

Was it really okay to say such things in front of Xiang Wan?

Chen Jiaojiao secretly kicked Zhou Jinbei, but Zhou Jinbei acted as if no one could hear her.

"Why are you kicking me? It's true. Xiang Wan isn't that easily angered."

"Right, Sister Wan? Now that you and Brother Mingzhe are back together, he'll never mess around again. We won't have any more chances to laugh at him, so we have to seize this one, right?"

Xiang Wan, of course, wouldn't be angry.

They had all grown up together and knew each other inside out.

She envied Lu Mingzhe for having such friends, and that he had brought his friends to her as well, since she didn't have any like that herself.

Since Xiang Wan said she didn't mind, it would have been really awkward if Chen Jiaojiao hadn't gone to see him.

She could only take the vegetables in her hands and head to the bedroom.

On the bed, Lu Mingzhe, with a bandaged shoulder, leaned back and was watching a movie on the projector screen.

Seeing her enter, he raised an eyebrow.

"You've come at the right time. I have something to ask you. Close the door."
