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.
...
The arrival of Uncle Hat brought this farce to an end.
Zhao Kun, the groom, dared to hit someone in public (although he didn't actually hit anyone), but since many people witnessed it, it was an established fact, and he was taken away for questioning.
Zhou Chen, as the person who reported the incident, also went to the police station.
The guests were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Clearly, the wedding could not continue and had to be ended prematurely.
"My son, wait for me."
For some reason, Old Mrs. Zhao belatedly came to her senses and started cursing at Zhou Ling, calling her a jinx, before rushing after Zhao Kun who had been taken away.
Seeing this, the Zhao family members cast strange glances at Zhou Ling, who was standing still, and immediately followed her.
The large hall was empty except for the Zhou family and a small number of high school students.
Zhou Ling looked at the grand wedding that was originally hers.
It suddenly turned out like this.
Her eyes reddened, and soon she couldn't help but cry.
Why?
Why did you treat her like this?
All she wanted was an enviable wedding, so why did it turn into this, a complete farce?
Zhou Chen!
It's all Zhou Chen's fault, it's all Zhou Chen's fault.
If it weren't for Zhou Chen, she wouldn't have thought of revenge, gathered so many people to witness the wedding, and Zhao Kun wouldn't have taken action later to save face.
The culprit is Zhou Chen.
Zhou Ling sat on the ground crying. Sun Tingting and others from the small group came over, helped Zhou Ling up, and comforted her.
Zhou Ling knew that her wedding was completely ruined.
For a woman, the most important day has become the most shameful day.
At this moment, she regretted inviting Zhou Chen, regretted making such a big fuss, and regretted not treating Zhao Kun better, which gave other women an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly.
Zhou Na stopped avoiding her and came to Zhou Ling, speaking expressionlessly.
Upon seeing Zhou Na, Zhou Ling felt even more aggrieved.
"Second sister...where did you go just now?"
Zhou Ling grabbed Zhou Na's hand, her eyes filled with grievance.
"I went to the restroom."
Zhou Na made up an excuse to brush it off, and Zhou Ling didn't suspect anything. Then she brought up what had just happened, hoping that Zhou Na would join her in condemning Zhou Chen.
If condemnation were effective, what would be the point of laws?
Zhou Na didn't pity Zhou Ling, because she felt that it was all Zhou Ling's own choice. Zhou Ling insisted on being with Zhao Kun, and as a result, things turned out this way. She could only say that she brought it on herself and had to accept her bad luck.
"Don't cry. What you should be thinking about now is whether to save your marriage or leave him and start a new life. But think it through. Once you leave him, you will have to bear all the expenses for the child in your belly."
Zhou Na reminded Zhou Ling that she had two options.
Mentioning this matter,
Zhou Ling immediately fell silent and lowered her head.
The thought that Zhao Kun might have already betrayed her and was secretly with another woman made her lose all desire to go to the police station to check the situation.
At the same time, memories of Zhao Kun not returning home for many days before quickly resurfaced.
Were Zhao Kun out fooling around with this woman all those days?
She foolishly believed that Zhao Kun was fighting for her and her child, preparing a surprise.
To be with Zhao Kun, she dropped out of school, broke up with Zhou Chen, and ended up with this kind of ending.
Is this what ordinary people call retribution?
Zhou Ling suddenly laughed, a very mocking laugh.
The laughter grew louder and louder, and his madman-like behavior drew stares from the others.
Zhou Lao Er, Zhou Lao San, and the rest of the Zhou family thought Zhou Ling had gone mad. What good could they possibly gain from this state?
impossible.
Suddenly, the Zhou family members lost interest and left without saying goodbye.
They came hoping to gain some advantage over Zhou Ling.
However, Old Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards Zhou Ling, as well as Zhao Kun's extramarital affairs, all prove that Zhou Ling's status in the Zhao family is not very good.
The first objective failed; the attempt to see Zhou Chen make a fool of himself also ended in failure, so there was no point in staying.
Seeing this, the others also left one after another.
Soon, only the sisters Zhou Na and Zhou Ling remained.
the next day,
The fact that Zhou Ling's wedding turned into a farce spread throughout the high school, becoming known to the entire school.
Given Zhou Ling's previous ungrateful behavior,
Many people felt gratified after hearing this, believing that Zhou Ling, such an ungrateful wretch, deserved what happened. She was so vicious towards her adoptive parents' son, and her wedding deserved to be a joke.
Sun Tingting and her small group originally wanted to say a few words in Zhou Ling's defense, but the one-sided situation made them hesitant to speak up, fearing they would be implicated and suffer criticism.
Even without speaking, they were subjected to strange looks. Several girls in the group were already considering whether to continue getting closer to Zhou Ling and were even thinking about leaving.
Every time Zhou Ling is caught in a storm of public opinion, her older sister Zhou Na naturally can't escape it either.
Moreover, Zhou Na also attended the wedding, and many people deliberately asked her about her experience at the wedding, intentionally trying to disgust her.
Zhou Ling wasn't on campus, but her legend circulated there.
Unfortunately, it's not a good legend.
...
"Haha, Brother Chen, now everyone at school is laughing at Zhou Ling and Sun Tingting. They've all shut up, and not only that, they're being scolded and isolated."
"Serves him right, that's hilarious."
As a campus insider, Li Kaile could see almost anything that happened, and the current uproar was the most satisfying thing he had ever heard.
Of course, it would be great if Zhou Ling were still in school.
This would allow Zhou Ling to experience what it's like to be caught in the center of public opinion.
Zhou Chen smiled faintly, not surprised. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Zhou Ling had previously publicized her wedding extensively, posting photos of her diamond ring, gold bracelet, wedding dress, and other items on social media and even in group chats, all to evoke envy from others.
Now that news of Zhao Kun having an affair with another woman has spread, the smugness he once felt is now replaced by the bitterness of being slapped in the face, and he has become a laughing stock.
This is what they mean by "the more you jump around, the faster you die."
Unfortunately, Zhao Kun only received a reprimand and was not punished in any substantial way. After all, he was released because he did not actually hurt anyone.
However, before being released, he was ordered to pay Li Kaile 500 yuan as compensation for emotional distress.
This was a small act of revenge against Zhao Kun.
Even if Zhao Kun has the compensation money from the demolition and doesn't need it, it's enough to really annoy him and make him feel bad for a while.
The day after the wedding farce,
Good news has arrived!
During Zhou Chen's morning training, Lu Guoliang announced that just yesterday, he would be temporarily assigned to the provincial sports team. From now on, he would no longer be just an ordinary physical education teacher at a high school, but also a coach for the provincial team.
Everyone was happy for Lu Guoliang.
