A Bunch of Ungrateful Wretches, Don't Call Me Brother Anymore

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 411: Leverage!

Zhao Kun found an outlet for his anger and immediately started fanning the flames in the comments section of the video, venting his dissatisfaction and resentment towards Zhou Chen.

When someone brings up Zhou Chen's deeds, he pretends to be someone who knows the truth and denies them, thus misleading those who are unaware of the facts.

Seeing the people he had swayed constantly slandering Zhou Chen on his behalf, Zhao Kun felt a great sense of accomplishment, and all his pent-up frustration vanished.

After returning home,

Zhao Kun shared the video interview with Zhou Ling.

Hearing that Zhou Chen's interview didn't bring him a good reputation and instead drew a lot of criticism, I felt quite relieved, thinking that Zhou Chen had finally gotten his comeuppance.

Even if those netizens discover the truth later, it doesn't matter.

Because the goal of disgusting Zhou Chen was achieved.

"By the way, Brother Kun, my second sister brought me another two hundred yuan today."

Zhou Ling took out a wad of cash from her pocket and handed it to Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun's eyes lit up, and he pocketed the money again, saying smugly, "What did I tell you? Your second sister is rich, isn't she? She's doing better than us. In a few days, you can ask her for more."

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that this was something Zhou Na owed her, and it was only right and proper for her to compensate her and give her money.

When Zhou Na goes to university and gets a job, she will be able to earn even more.

"I almost forgot, I also saw your second sister's interview video. Many netizens supported her. Considering that your second sister has been quite generous to our family, you can tell her this good news."

Zhao Kun's words elicited a response from Zhou Ling, who then sent a text message to Zhou Na.

In the hotel room,

Zhou Na was quite surprised to learn that her interview video had received such high praise.

She was in high school and had no friends. Her classmates kept their distance from her and deliberately isolated her. Now, with the support of many netizens, she felt a long-lost sense of belonging, and she was eager to see what they were saying.

But the thought of having to go to an internet cafe to watch the videos made me hesitate for a long time, and in the end, I gave up on the idea.

Because she couldn't bear to part with the money.

Out of guilt, she gave the money she had saved to Zhou Ling as compensation. Therefore, if she wanted to save that money back, she would undoubtedly have to make greater savings in all kinds of expenses and not spend a single penny recklessly.

However, she quickly came up with a way to see the comments without wasting money.

the next day,

She found the hotel manager, who, upon hearing that she had been interviewed and appeared on a video website, readily lent her her computer for twenty minutes.

Before long, with the help of the hotel staff, Zhou Na saw the interview video she wanted to watch, and the comments were full of praise and support.

It's true!

The fact that she actually had supporters greatly encouraged Zhou Na.

But not long after,

She saw some lengthy comments detailing her relationship with Zhou Chen and how ungrateful the three siblings were.

At that moment, the smile on Zhou Na's face froze.

What she least wanted to see happened: someone exposed her relationship with Zhou Chen, detailing some things, even though some netizens didn't believe it and helped her refute it.

But Zhou Na knew that these people would eventually find out the truth, which would cause her to suffer the consequences.

Those who support her now will be just as vehemently opposed to her later.

One second she was happy to have gained the support and recognition of netizens, the next she regretted accepting Cai Xiaowei's interview and putting herself online to be commented on.

Because Zhou Chen is involved, the final result will only be that she becomes a laughing stock in the eyes of more people, and will be cursed, despised, and hated.

She didn't want that to happen.

Close the webpage.

Zhou Na took out her phone, found Cai Xiaowei's phone number, and immediately dialed it.

"Sister Xiaowei, this is Zhou Na. I want to delete all interview videos about me."

“You are his sister, you shouldn’t lie to me.”

Cai Xiaowei's tone was devoid of any enthusiasm, a stark contrast to her previous interview with Zhou Na.

But Zhou Na knew why; Cai Xiaowei knew about her relationship with Zhou Chen and was very angry about her deception.

"I will delete your interview video."

"This is your right, but..."

“I want to say that people shouldn’t go too far. You three siblings have gone too far. I don’t want to be friends with people who have no conscience and don’t know how to be grateful.”

Snap!

After saying that, Cai Xiaowei hung up the phone.

Zhou Na stood there, silent for a long time.

Zhou Na had heard similar words from countless people, but she could always remain indifferent. However, when Cai Xiaowei said them, Zhou Na could no longer remain unmoved. Because of the previous interview, she had regarded Cai Xiaowei as her only friend, but now, after learning about her relationship with Zhou Chen, Cai Xiaowei did not want to continue being friends with her and had developed a dislike for her.

All of this stemmed from a falling out with Zhou Chen.

But,

She didn't do any of the things that wronged Zhou Chen, so why should she be blamed for them?

Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan spread rumors about Zhou Chen, so why does everyone assume that she was involved and, like the two of them, is an ungrateful wretch?

She admits to being selfish, but does that mean selfishness is unforgivable?

She just wanted to break free from everything in her family of origin and live the life she wanted, so why can't anyone truly understand her?

The deletion of the interview video with Zhou Na has once again attracted the attention of some netizens, many of whom have sent private messages to the Youth Studio demanding an explanation.

Cai Xiaowei directly noted in the homepage announcement that the video was deleted at Zhou Na's request.

"It must be Zhou Chen's doing. He was just jealous of the netizens' support for Zhou Na, so he colluded with this account and the company behind it to sabotage Zhou Na."

"I agree with the comment above. There's an old saying that money can make the devil turn the millstone, and some people have paid for it."

"Some people just spout nonsense. Look up Zhou Chen's achievements online. He's been featured on TV, a true academic genius who once ranked first in the city, represented Fengcheng in the National Youth Track and Field Championships and won a championship, started his own business with several companies, and used the money he earned to establish a charity fund to help families in need. Yet you insult him like this. Do you have any sense of justice?"

"I checked, and Zhou Chen is indeed a genius. He said he could score over 700 points on the college entrance exam, and he's not just bragging; he really has the ability. He personally created every set of past exam papers he did, and his level is no less than that of famous teachers. He even predicted similar questions on the college entrance exam. On the other hand, Zhou Na's reputation at school doesn't seem to be good. Her academic performance is far inferior to Zhou Chen's. Not to mention, she grew up in Zhou Chen's house. Some people should stop distorting the truth."

The voices defending Zhou Na mostly died down after some netizens spontaneously posted screenshots of news about Zhou Chen in the comments section. Only a very few remained stubborn and argued to the bitter end.
