To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.

Chapter 224 The Wedding Scene!

Mobile games are rather monotonous these days, so the emergence of Happy Match will definitely attract the interest of many mobile phone manufacturers. Besides, it can also make money, making it a win-win situation, and no one will refuse it.

It's simply a matter of how much profit should be distributed.

Zhou Chen believed in Su Jiajia's negotiating skills. She had previously managed to secure the lowest price for commercial housing in Fanjia County when renting a house, which was enough to prove her negotiation skills.

A day passed quietly.

It just so happens to be the weekend, and a high school is on holiday.

Today is Zhou Ling's wedding day, and the venue is the best restaurant in Fanjia County, Yanbinlou.

To make a good impression, a balloon was placed upright in front of the banquet hall, with Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's names posted on it.

Zhou Ling's small group, including Sun Tingting, all came and were surprised and envious at the grand wedding.

"Holding a wedding at the banquet hall is so luxurious. I wish I could hold my wedding here someday."

"It can only be said that Zhou Ling has found a man who truly loves her, which is why she is willing to spend so much. I estimate that today's wedding must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan."

"A mere tens of thousands of yuan is not much money for the Zhao family. They received more than 700,000 yuan in demolition compensation, so this is just a drop in the bucket."

Sun Tingting and the others sighed with emotion as they stood outside Zhou Ling changing clothes.

Zhou Ling, who had just put on her wedding dress, could clearly hear the whispers. A smug look appeared on her face. Then, she pulled back the curtain and walked out.

Wow, Zhou Ling, you're so beautiful!

"This wedding dress is so beautiful. Wearing it makes you look like a princess. Zhou Ling, I guarantee you are the most beautiful woman today. Your little Kun will definitely be captivated by you."

"Yes, I want to wear a wedding dress to get married someday. Such a beautiful wedding dress must have cost a lot of money."

Faced with everyone's praise and curiosity, Zhou Ling said casually, "This wedding dress was specially bought for me by Brother Kun. It wasn't very expensive, just over ten thousand yuan."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tingting and the others gasped in shock. Was more than ten thousand yuan a small sum? It was equivalent to more than half a year's salary for many people.

Zhou Ling was delighted by the wide-eyed expressions on everyone's faces and secretly felt smug. In fact, the wedding dress wasn't bought, but rented for a thousand yuan a day. She had indeed wanted to buy it initially, but Zhao Kun absolutely refused, thinking it wasn't worth wearing it for just one day.

But she certainly wouldn't reveal the truth, afraid of losing face.

Thinking that she had something to show off, Zhou Ling looked down at the ring on her hand, and then deliberately showed her palm to the group of people.

"This is... a diamond ring?"

"It's so sparkly, what else could it be but a diamond ring? This diamond ring is so beautiful! I heard that brides abroad wear diamond rings when they get married."

"Zhou Ling, how much did that diamond ring cost?"

Zhou Ling was waiting for this very sentence, and immediately said a number. Sun Tingting and the others were shocked once again after hearing it.

The group couldn't help but express their envy, saying they wished they could find a man like Zhao Kun, just like Zhou Ling.

"I suddenly realized that being good at studying doesn't necessarily help; marrying a man with potential and money is what really matters."

"Yes, even if you graduate from university and get a job, what then? You can't earn hundreds of thousands in your entire life. You can only earn a thousand or eight hundred a month. Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take you decades."

Hearing everyone envy her, to the point that they lost interest in going to school, Zhou Ling encouraged them, saying, "There are indeed many benefits to not going to school. I no longer have to sit in the classroom every day. I can do whatever I want. Without the constraints and discipline of teachers, life is especially free."

“I’m going home today and telling my family that I’m not going to study anymore.”

"I dare not, I'm afraid my family will beat me to death."

"Haha, coward."

Everyone laughed and joked. After a while, Zhou Ling suggested going to the hall. She wanted more people to know about her wedding dress and her diamond ring before the wedding. It wasn't her goal to be envied by Sun Tingting and others.

then,

Zhou Ling walked at the front and arrived at the hall where weddings were held.

At this moment, quite a few people have already arrived.

"Wow, there are so many students from our school."

"Yes, Zhou Ling, did you invite all these people?"

Sun Tingting and the others saw many classmates from other classes, numbering in the dozens, including some good students. Logically speaking, these people had no connection with Zhou Ling, and some of them had even criticized Zhou Ling before. Why would they come to the wedding?

Zhou Ling was equally puzzled. Although she was confused, she thought it was a good thing. Regardless of whether these people were there to join in the fun or for other purposes, she couldn't be happier.

The more people, the better, so that Zhou Chen can be humiliated and more people can envy her now.

As the main character of the day, Zhou Ling greeted the guests one by one, displaying her diamond ring and gold bracelet prominently.

After one lap,

Zhou Ling's vanity was greatly satisfied.

With her relentless flaunting, everyone saw the diamond ring and gold bracelet she wore. In addition, Sun Tingting and others deliberately revealed the prices, leaving everyone who heard them astonished.

Zhou Ling was very satisfied with the help she received from Sun Tingting and the others.

Even the elders of the Zhou family were very polite, with smiles on their faces, offering their blessings and handing over red envelopes.

However, after feeling the red envelope was a bit thin, Zhou Ling smiled apologetically but couldn't help but complain in her heart that these people were too stingy, feeling that the amount given would not exceed one hundred yuan.

"Why didn't that guy come?"

Zhou Ling looked around again but didn't see Zhou Chen. She was a little worried that Zhou Chen wasn't coming. If that happened, her plan to embarrass Zhou Chen would be completely ruined, making the wedding less fun.

It's important to understand that the purpose of the enormous expenses incurred in the wedding was to embarrass Zhou Chen and make him lose face.

"Tingting, go to the door and see if Zhou Chen is there. If he doesn't come, complain about him to the others. People who know him will definitely contact him."

Zhou Ling couldn't forcibly bring Zhou Chen over, so in order to avoid missing the crucial part of humiliating Zhou Chen, she had no choice but to resort to this method.

Sun Tingting and the others knew Zhou Ling's intentions; they were there to see Zhou Chen make a fool of himself, since they had been ridiculed by others because of Zhou Chen before.

The group immediately took action.

"Second Sister!"

Just then, Zhou Ling's expression suddenly changed, her face lit up with joy, and her gaze fell on the beautiful figure dressed in an elegant and simple dress.

She was none other than Zhou Na.

Zhou Ling immediately ran over and warmly approached Zhou Na.

"Second sister, you're here! That's wonderful!"

Zhou Ling smiled broadly. In her heart, Zhou Na was the only and closest member of her family who was present.

Zhou Na was a little distracted when she saw Zhou Ling in her pure white wedding dress. She then glanced at Zhou Ling's belly and said softly, "Be careful of the baby in your belly. Don't run around, it's dangerous."

Zhou Ling wasn't angry at being reprimanded by Zhou Na; instead, she was even happier because Zhou Na's concern proved that she wasn't truly blamed for being implicated earlier.
