Zhou Na never expected these two to be so shameless, resorting to any means to achieve their goals.

They're capable of kneeling in public.

If this happened elsewhere, she could simply walk away and ignore it.

But this is at school, and her every move is likely being watched.

She knew someone must have seen this, so she quickly looked to the side, and sure enough, many classmates were looking in her direction.

If people find out that these two are her parents, one can imagine that she will suffer public criticism again and be pushed into the eye of the storm.

Zhou Na bit her lip, feeling extremely unhappy because she had been morally blackmailed.

In the past, she was the one who morally blackmailed others, but now she's the one doing it herself.

Zhou Chen, who was not far away, witnessed this scene.

He was laughing so hard he was practically hysterical.

It's so strange that Zhou Na is being morally blackmailed; even you, Zhou Na, have met your match.

It's not that Zhou Chen can't stand seeing others do well, it's just that Zhou Chen really dislikes Zhou Na's past tendency to use moral blackmail, as if everything was her duty.

Now, she is experiencing this feeling firsthand.

No wonder it caused such a huge uproar in the previous life; it was probably largely due to forced moral blackmail.

The only difference is,

In his previous life, he wasn't at school and couldn't witness the show firsthand. Now, he's made up for it, and it was indeed extremely exciting.

He really wanted to find a chair, sit here, and watch the show while eating sunflower seeds.

"Why are those two kneeling down? What are they doing?"

Li Kaile was shocked. Why did he suddenly kneel down? Everyone who saw this scene was full of questions.

"Because they are her parents, they want to ask Zhou Na for forgiveness."

Zhou Chen revealed the truth.

What!

Li Kaile was stunned. Were Zhou Na's biological parents?

Thinking about the background of Zhou Na and her two siblings, Li Kaile realized that a big juicy story was about to unfold.

Seeing that his classmates a few meters away were also full of questions, he had an idea and immediately shouted out the identities of Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.

Instantly, everyone present knew what had happened, and their expressions changed.

It turned out to be their biological parents coming to their door.

"Both parents knelt down, and Zhou Na could still stand there calmly watching. Even if they were wrong, they should be forgiven now."

"Yes, after all, they are the ones who gave you life. How can we let our parents kneel down?"

"I'd heard that Zhou Na and her sister Zhou Ling were the same, but I didn't believe it before. Now I do. They're both ungrateful wretches, making their own parents kneel down. They're so heartless!"

The students watching the play shared their opinions.

What Zhou Na least wanted was for Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua to come to the school, which would make her the subject of gossip. However, the thing she least wanted to happen happened.

She suddenly felt like she was being pricked by thorns.

When she turned around again, she found many people pointing and whispering about her. What bothered her most was that she saw Zhou Chen's figure.

Zhou Chen was standing at the front of the crowd, looking in her direction.

This made Zhou Na realize that she had made a huge fool of herself. It was one thing for her classmates to gossip about her, but Zhou Chen would definitely make fun of her to death.

It's all the fault of these two people in front of me.

With ulterior motives, they searched for the three siblings and now they've come to the school to morally blackmail her in front of her classmates, making her the target of public criticism.

The thought of soon becoming a hot topic, and the kind that's all over the news and gossip, made Zhou Na furious. She glared at the two people in front of her and said, "If you want to kneel, then keep kneeling. Do whatever you want. If you want me to acknowledge you, then forget about it."

At this moment,

Zhou Na began to feel resigned to her fate; since everyone had already seen it, there was no point in her doing anything.

Even if she forgives him, others will still view her with prejudice and criticize her behind her back.

Having said that,

Zhou Na turned around and left decisively, leaving Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua kneeling on the spot.

On her way back to the teaching building, Zhou Na tried her best not to look at anyone or pay attention to any stares, including when she passed by Zhou Chen; she didn't even blink.

Only after returning to the classroom and covering his face with books did his expression change slightly.

Um?

Zhou Chen, who had originally planned to watch the show, felt a bit bored when he saw that the drama had ended so quickly and there hadn't even been a proper argument. Presumably, Zhou Na didn't want to be laughed at, so she turned around and left.

However, Zhou Chen didn't care, because he knew that what had just happened would quickly spread throughout the school, and then Zhou Na would suffer a new round of public opinion storm.

On the other end,

After Zhou Na left, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua naturally didn't act stupidly and continue kneeling down. What they had just said to Zhou Na—that they wouldn't get up until she forgave him—was just an excuse.

Zhou Na has left, so there's no need to continue kneeling.

"That brat is really heartless. Kneeling down to her is no use at all."

One second ago, Wang Xiuhua looked full of regret, but now she showed no remorse whatsoever; her face was full of displeasure and anger.

Zhou Dana's expression was similar as he murmured, "It's okay. Anyway, so many classmates saw what happened just now, and it will spread quickly throughout the school. She's a good student, and for the sake of her reputation, she has to prevent similar things from happening again. We'll come again tomorrow. If she doesn't forgive us, we'll keep kneeling. She'll have to compromise sooner or later."

Zhou Dana was playing a game of cunning, and Zhou Na was forced to compromise in order to avoid being gossiped about.

Wang Xiuhua nodded.

They had planned this all along; they had made a plan before they came, including the kneeling incident and the moral blackmail against Zhou Na.

"The good news is that her memory of us is not very clear, and she did not suspect our identities."

Zhou Dana said something profound.

Wang Xiuhua's expression shifted slightly. The most important reason for her meeting with Zhou Na today was to confirm this matter. After all, Zhou Na was the eldest of the three siblings and might have some memories of people or events from her childhood.

However,

During their first meeting today, Zhou Na did not doubt their identities, which meant that she was unaware of the truth. This relieved the two of them. Otherwise, their previous attempts to reunite with Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling would have been in vain. Now, they could confidently and boldly use their identities as the parents of the three siblings to profit themselves.

They'll solidify their status as the parents of the three siblings, making those three ungrateful wretches raise them.

Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua left.

Little did they know, their conversation was overheard by Grandpa Liang, who was inside the security booth.

Don't let Grandpa Liang's age fool you,

But he is neither deaf nor blind.

As Zhou Chen expected,

The news that Zhou Dana and his wife knelt down to Zhou Na quickly spread throughout the campus, and many people learned that the two were Zhou Na's parents.

Immediately, there was much discussion.

Zhou Chen was then called over by Grandpa Liang and recounted verbatim the conversation he had overheard between Zhou Dana and his wife.
