Sisters Zhou Na and Zhou Ling stood at the school gate.

Zhou Chen originally planned to pretend he didn't see it and walk straight past.

As a result, Zhou Ling, who had sharp eyes, saw him appear and hurriedly ran over to stop the bicycle.

"Brother, you're really coming back to go to school?"

"I thought my second sister was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Zhou Ling looked incredulous, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion, because in her mind, Zhou Chen should continue working on the construction site, not go back to school and continue studying.

What future can you have by studying? It's better to make money as early as possible.

"Is there something you need? If not, please move aside."

Zhou Chen's tone was indifferent; there was nothing to say to this love-struck fool.

"Brother, why are you being so fierce?"

Zhou Ling was about to get angry, but then she remembered that she had something to say to Zhou Chen, so she quickly suppressed her anger and put on a smiling face.

"Brother, can we talk over there? There's something important to me, and it's important to you too." Zhou Ling said, forcefully pulling Zhou Chen's bicycle towards the other side of the school gate.

At the same time, she didn't forget to tell Zhou Na behind her, "Second sister, you go back first, I need to talk to my eldest brother."

Zhou Na said nothing, glanced at Zhou Chen with a complicated look, and then turned and left.

The brother and sister arrived at the willow tree next to the wall of the school playground.

"Brother, why did you come back to school? Didn't you dislike studying?"

“Our family has enough for our second sister to go to school. She is smart and quick-witted and will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future. Why don’t you take out the money and support her to focus on her studies?”

Zhou Ling's words made Zhou Chen frown deeply. He knew that this love-struck ingrate would never say anything nice.

Does he not like studying?

He didn't go to school back then because he didn't like it. That was just an excuse he made up so that he could give the opportunity to go to school to you three siblings.

As a result, in your heart, Zhou Ling, you truly believed that he didn't like her, completely unaware of his good intentions back then.

Zhou Chen increasingly felt that his suspension from school back then was not worth it and was ridiculous.

"If you have nothing else to say, I'm going back to school. Don't look for me again."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, not wanting to get too entangled with Zhou Ling on this issue, and gripped the bicycle handlebars, ready to leave.

"Brother, I really have something to do, something serious."

Zhou Ling grabbed the bicycle, ignoring Zhou Chen's reminder, and continued, "Brother, you know I'm with Brother Kun now. Although I haven't married into the Zhao family yet, I'm still considered a woman of the Zhao family."

When a girl goes to the man's house, her family is supposed to give her a dowry. You can give me my dowry, so that I can hold my head high in the Zhao family and not be looked down upon.

I'll save face, and you'll save face too, so no one will dare to bully me. As for the dowry, I've already thought it through; just give me 20,000.

"It's okay if you can't come up with it now. You have a good mentor on the construction site, and so many fellow workers and friends. If you borrow a little from each of them, it'll be easy to raise 20,000."

Zhou Ling finished speaking with a smile, then waited expectantly for Zhou Chen's reply.

Zhou Chen was not surprised that Zhou Ling asked him for dowry money, because he had experienced it once before in his previous life. Not only that, he had asked his master Xu Laoqi and his fellow workers in the same way as Zhou Ling, and raised 20,000 yuan just to save face for Zhou Ling.

But what happened? Zhou Ling, that scoundrel Zhao Kun, and his family all treated him with contempt.

These are the people who hurt him the most.

Zhou Chen wouldn't fall into the same trap twice.

In this life, he will no longer be Voldemort or the sister-supporting demon.

“Zhou Ling, we have already separated and are living separately. I have no obligation to take care of any of you anymore. There is no dowry. If you feel that you cannot hold your head up in front of others, you can choose not to marry. No one is forcing you.”

After Zhou Chen finished speaking coldly, he pulled Zhou Ling's hand off the bicycle and pushed it away.

"Zhou Chen!"

Zhou Ling's eyes instantly reddened, and she called Zhou Chen by his full name, "Zhou Chen, you did this on purpose, you just want to see me unhappy, don't you?"

How could you be so cold-blooded? You weren't like this before. You've changed. You're not the good older brother I knew. You've disappointed me so much!

"Good brother?"

Zhou Chen paused slightly, sneered, and said without turning his head, "Zhou Ling, everyone has the right to criticize me, except for the three of you. I have wronged everyone, but I have not wronged you."

You come to me asking for a dowry, feeling that without one you can't hold your head high in the Zhao family and lose face. But have you shown me a single penny of the bride price that other families are required to give when they marry? Others won't even give you a penny of bride price, so why don't you feel ashamed?

"You're not that important to the Zhao family. They don't even want a bride price; they just want to marry you. Shouldn't you reflect on why you're so worthless?"

Zhou Chen launched a cold and relentless barrage of attacks.

After saying that, he left without lingering.

Zhou Ling was left standing there, opening her mouth to retort, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"That's not how it is. Xiao Kun's parents said that I am their biological daughter. There's no need for family members to be so calculating. My maternal family is the outsider."

I want my dowry, for my family and for a better life in the future, not because I'm worthless.

After a while, Zhou Ling found a reason to refute it, which restored her confidence.

It must be because Zhou Chen didn't want to give her the dowry money that he said those things and tried to sow discord between her and the Zhao family.

She won't fall for it.

suddenly,

Zhou Ling smiled because she remembered something from her childhood.

"My mother said that when I get married, she will give me her gold ring."

“I’m taking the gold ring back right now. From now on, it will be the family fortune of me and Xiao Kun. My mother clearly said it was left to me. Even if you, Zhou Chen, don’t want to give it to me, you have to. It belongs to me.”

Zhou Ling snorted and raised her proud neck. She had figured it out. Instead of asking Zhou Chen for it, she would go home and get it herself. Coincidentally, she knew where the gold ring was.

Zhou Chen had no idea that his ungrateful third sister was on her way home to get her ring.

at this time,

With Ms. Wu's introduction, Zhou Chen entered a new class.

The students were quite curious about Zhou Chen, a new classmate who looked several years older than them, and wanted to know why Zhou Chen had dropped out of school for three years.

Zhou Chen ignored the controversy because he had too much knowledge to pick up again. Although he had memories of two lifetimes, knowledge is something you really have to learn if you don't use it often.

With only one year left until the college entrance examination, we must seize every second, grasp what we have lost, and imprint it in our minds, so that we can get into the ideal university in our hearts.

In fact, Zhou Chen had a much bigger ambition.

That is, he wants to enter a prestigious university as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
