Shen Pan summed up the essence of Han Chen in one sentence, which also resonated with Zhou Mo. It also revealed the reason why Zhou Mo didn’t have any interest in Han Chen.
On paper, anyone with good looks, no history of cheating, attractive educational background, and a profession like being a doctor would be appealing. But why did Zhou Mo lose interest when it came to Han Chen?
The reason was simple.
Han Chen always intentionally or unintentionally stepped on Zhou Mo’s deepest sore spots and danced wildly on them. Naturally, Zhou Mo couldn’t tolerate it.
Now, Zhou Mo’s plan was simple: get a divorce from Han Chen as soon as possible and restore their relationship to what it was before they got married—a relationship that was barely even an acquaintance.
However, just as she swore not to see Han Chen recently, a phone call from Yu Yizhou pulled her to Dongjiang University Hospital.
Zhou Mo had already blocked Yu Yizhou’s number.
The reason she answered the call was that it came from Xu Qingli’s phone.
At first, it was Xu Qingli’s voice on the other end. “Miss Zhou, your boyfriend hasn’t paid his medical fees. Please renew it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will affect his follow-up treatment.”
Zhou Mo remained calm. “How will it affect him?”
“He needs medication for infection control, and if the bone callus doesn’t form properly, a second surgery may be required...”
“Will he need an amputation?”
Although the probability was low, Xu Qingli didn’t rule out the risk. “Although it’s unlikely, there is still a small chance.”
“Then, when he gets amputated, I’ll consider renewing his fees.”
Zhou Mo was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait, Miss Zhou,” Xu Qingli stopped her. “Your boyfriend wants to talk to you.”
“I have nothing to say to him...”
“Hey, Mo Mo, it’s me, Yu Yizhou.”
Zhou Mo instantly felt a headache and was tempted to curse, “What kind of devilry are you up to now?”
“Mo Mo, I miss you. Why haven’t you come to see me these past few days? And you blocked me on WeChat and phone calls,” Yu Yizhou’s voice sounded extremely pitiful.
Zhou Mo felt a wave of nausea. “Yu Yizhou, do you have a terminal illness? Do you not understand our current relationship?”
“How could I not understand? You’re my girlfriend.”
If Zhou Mo didn’t want to be the one who slipped through the cracks of higher education, she almost couldn’t help but curse with dirty words.
“Don’t disgust me. We’re enemies now. I don’t want to see you anywhere outside of the courtroom, got it?”
When she was infatuated, Zhou Mo was not soft-hearted, and now, when Yu Yizhou said a few oily words, she remained indifferent.
“Mo Mo, why are you so heartless? Can’t I be forgiven for my mistakes? Look at me now, my leg is broken, I have no money, and I’ve suffered punishment. Can’t you feel satisfied?”
“Haha,” Zhou Mo dryly laughed twice. “What? You regret it, and I have to forgive you? Charity work doesn’t have such a good heart. ”
“I was wrong, I was really wrong, Mo Mo. At that time, I was hasty and impulsive. Registering the company with your ID was my fault, and I shouldn’t have argued with your parents... I was angry at that time, I’m such an idiot. How about this? When I’m discharged, I’ll personally apologize and make it up to your parents?”
“No need. I don’t want to hear your pathetic cries. Between us, there is no ’Schrodinger’s breakup’. Registering the company with my ID card isn’t just a matter of morality, it’s also illegal. And as for my parents, you can’t undo the disgrace they’ve suffered. I’ll say it again, I don’t want to hear any apologies. The involvement between us will be dealt with by the law.”
“Mo Mo, are you really this heartless? After all this time we’ve spent together, you’re just going to throw it all away?”
Zhou Mo had had enough. “Indeed, human emotions are precious, but you’re not included... because you’re not human.”
Finally, Zhou Mo managed to use a slightly more civilized curse.
Yu Yizhou was stunned. This was the first time Zhou Mo had ever cursed at someone.
“Zhou Mo!” Yu Yizhou ran out of patience.
“What’s the matter? I’m right here,” Zhou Mo replied sarcastically.
“You...you are shameless!” Yu Yizhou was enraged.
“Who’s the one without shame? You blocked me without realizing it, yet you shamelessly called me.” Zhou Mo retorted.
Yu Yizhou was experiencing Zhou Mo’s fierce verbal attacks for the first time and was so angry that he wanted to physically confront her through the electromagnetic waves.
“Zhou Mo, you have someone supporting you now, so you think you’re invincible! Have you already started a relationship with that Han guy before we broke up? Tell me, is it true?” Yu Yizhou demanded.
“Can you shut up? If not, I’ll hang up,” Zhou Mo threatened.
“Dare you! If you dare hang up, I’ll complain about him to the medical administration. Since you won’t let me off easily, he won’t have it easy either! I’ll make sure his license is revoked. Let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant then!” Yu Yizhou retaliated.
Zhou Mo chuckled. “Is this some kind of unexpected good news?”
Yu Yizhou was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“Han Chen is almost my enemy now. If you want to complain about him and succeed, I’ll personally cheer and celebrate while they reimburse your medical expenses,” Zhou Mo calmly replied.
Yu Yizhou was thoroughly confused. After pondering for a moment, his thoughts went off track. “I knew it! His credentials must be fake. We haven’t even been broken up for three days, so how could you get married so quickly?”
Zhou Mo started sweating profusely. Xu Qingli might be nearby!
If she found out about the marriage certificate, it would be disastrous.
“If you want to take revenge on him, go ahead. I’ll wait for your good news. I’m hanging up now,” Zhou Mo said without hesitation and immediately blocked Xu Qingli’s number as well.
She thought everything was over, but less than an hour later, her phone rang again.
This time, it was the police. They informed her that Yu Yizhou had become angry, caused a disturbance in the hospital room, accidentally injured Xu Qingli, and smashed many things in the orthopedic department.
Since Yu Yizhou had difficulty moving his legs, they couldn’t take him away. They requested that a family member come to the hospital for a conversation and mediation.
Originally, Zhou Mo didn’t want to step into this mess, but the police suddenly asked if she was Zhou Zheng’s daughter. They also mentioned that they were the officer in charge of investigating Zhou Zheng’s case and hoped for her cooperation.
The police had a good attitude, but Zhou Mo was thinking about something else.
If she cooperated this time, the police might go easy on Zhou Zheng’s case, causing him less trouble.
Thinking of Zhou Zheng, Zhou Mo responded, “I’ll be there right away.”
There was no other choice. Zhou Mo could only step into a place she had no intention of stepping into.
Half an hour later, Zhou Mo arrived at the small conference room in the orthopedic department as agreed.
Yu Yizhou was locked in the hospital room, trying to calm down.
The conference room was filled with medical staff and a police officer, discussing something unknown.
When Zhou Mo entered, the police officer closest to the door noticed her first. “Miss Zhou, you’re here.”
The medical staff gathered in the room suddenly turned their attention toward the door.
They straightened their postures and made way as Zhou Mo vaguely recognized two familiar figures among the crowd.
Sitting in a chair was Xu Qingli, and standing with a slightly bent posture was Han Chen.
Han Chen was wearing disposable surgical gloves and holding a curved needle and suture thread. He was stitching up the iodine-stained wound on Xu Qingli’s forehead.
