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.
...
"Fourth brother, our father—bah, Zhou Haide—is unworthy of the title!"
"Don't even think about living on Hong Kong Island with him."
"We are nothing more than pawns that he can discard at any time."
“In his heart, the child he had with that woman is his child. Our rich young master, it’s time to wake up from your dream!”
Zhou Ling glanced venomously at the hospital behind her, then turned to Zhou Chuan and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Chuan understood this perfectly well.
All that talk of father-son affection is fake. Giving him money before was just a prelude to taking his kidney later.
Now, he only feels hatred towards Zhou Haide.
If he had the ability to take revenge on Zhou Haide, he would not hesitate to retaliate fiercely, because Zhou Haide had hurt him too much, did not treat him like his own son, and destroyed his dream of being a rich young master.
"Third sister, can you swallow this insult?"
"What can you do if you can't swallow it?"
Seeing Zhou Chuan's resentment and vengeful gaze, Zhou Ling felt a sense of amusement; they simply didn't have the strength to go toe-to-toe with Zhou Haide.
What can you do if you're unhappy? You can only put up with it.
“Even Zhou Chen has never bullied us like this. He’s not as ruthless as Zhou Haide. I won’t let this go. He ruined everything for me, ruined my life, and hurt us again and again. I will definitely find a way to make him suffer.”
Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Ling remained silent. If given the chance, she would certainly not mind taking revenge, but at the moment, they were helpless even against Zhou Chen, let alone Zhou Haide.
Thinking that I've been away from home for almost a month,
At this moment, all Zhou Ling wanted was to go home and reunite with Zhao Kun. Now, Zhao Kun was the only person she could rely on.
The older sister and younger brother are unreliable.
Her biological father treated her like a tool; apart from Zhao Kun, no one in the world treated her wholeheartedly.
"I'm going back."
Zhou Ling couldn't wait to go home, to snuggle in Zhao Kun's warm arms, and to see her lovely daughter, Zhao Xiaoya.
Watching Zhou Ling take a taxi and drive away,
Zhou Chuan turned around again, looked up at the hospital, and clenched his fists tightly.
Zhou Haide, as his biological father, has not appeared in front of him since that day.
Clearly, they don't care about him at all.
At this moment, it probably doesn't matter to him or Zhou Ling about being discharged from the hospital.
He still held onto a sliver of hope, fantasizing that Zhou Haide would personally see him off and say something about having his own difficulties.
However, there was nothing there.
Zhou Chuan withdrew his gaze, turned and left. He dared not walk too fast, worried that his wound would reopen.
But after walking only a few steps...
He then heard a familiar voice behind him.
Stop walking.
Zhou Chuan turned his head, his pupils narrowing.
Zhou Haide and Li Meihui were seen pushing a young man in a wheelchair out of the hospital building, the three of them chatting and laughing.
Is he the son of my father and Li Meihui?
Are they the three siblings' half-brothers?
Zhou Chuan stared intently at Zhou Xiaolong, his hatred surging like a raging river. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaolong, this treatment should have been his.
Zhou Xiaolong stole everything from him.
He hated Zhou Haide, he hated Li Meihui, but he hated Zhou Xiaolong the most, the one who took everything from him.
Zhou Xiaolong felt Zhou Chuan's gaze.
At the last moment before boarding the car, he looked towards where Zhou Chuan was.
The two looked at each other.
When Zhou Chuan saw Zhou Xiaolong smiling at him, he felt it was a provocation and a sign of being ignored.
Whoosh!
Zhou Chuan turned and left.
But at this moment, his face was ten times uglier than before, and he was even more determined to take revenge.
At the same time, a crazy idea popped into my head.
If he causes any trouble for Zhou Xiaolong, Zhou Haide and Li Meihui will be very upset.
Zhou Chuan licked his lips, a cold smile appearing on his face.
...
"What did you say?"
"Your dad... he took your kidney? And he only gave you 700,000 yuan in compensation?"
Zhao Kun jumped up from the sofa.
The news Zhou Ling brought back truly shattered all his plans. He was hoping to get more benefits from his father-in-law, Zhou Haide, so he tried his best to behave well every time he met Zhou Haide. But now Zhou Ling was telling him that he and his brother were not valued at all by Zhou Haide.
Doesn't that mean all my previous efforts were in vain?
All his fantasies of a good future were shattered.
Damn it!
Why is this happening?!
Zhou Haide can be so ruthless to his own daughter and son. Is he even human?
"Brother Kun, he compensated my fourth brother and me a total of 700,000 yuan each."
“But I know that apart from this 700,000, he won’t give us any more money. This should be the last payment, and he won’t take us to Hong Kong Island.”
Zhou Ling continued.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun's expression changed slightly.
After a while, he had to accept the reality. Seven hundred thousand it is, having some is better than having none.
"Where's the money?"
“The money is in my bank card, Brother Kun. Let’s not touch it yet. Xiaoya may need money for surgery later.”
This time, Zhou Ling was more cautious. She used the excuse that she wanted to keep it for her daughter Zhao Xiaoya's medical treatment to shut Zhao Kun up from taking it.
My family members are all unreliable.
Zhou Ling was worried that Zhao Kun felt the same way. Besides, Zhao Kun had a history of infidelity, and she couldn't be foolish enough to completely trust him again.
certainly,
Zhou Ling also had another thought: she wanted to test Zhao Kun to see if she would change her attitude towards her because Zhou Haide didn't value her.
Since Zhao Kun was released from prison, he has treated her much better than before.
She didn't know if it was because of Zhou Haide, or something else.
"Okay, then you can keep it."
Zhao Kun smiled and didn't say anything more, because he knew that if he forced Zhou Ling to give up the bank card and take control of the family finances, it might give rise to other ideas.
Furthermore, all he needs to do is know the bank card PIN.
He also knew where Zhou Ling kept her bank card, which made little difference whether it was in his hands or not.
When Zhou Ling saw that Zhao Kun had no objections, she was both surprised and delighted, thinking that she might have been overthinking things and that Zhao Kun still loved her.
"Brother Kun, I'm a little tired, let's go to sleep."
"It's still daytime, and you're already sleeping?"
Zhao Kun frowned, pretending not to understand Zhou Ling's sudden alluring gaze.
"But I miss you."
Zhao Kun was speechless. What kind of time is this to still be thinking about such things?
"Your wound hasn't healed yet, you can't."
"Little Kun, I was just teasing you. I just wanted you to hug me. I want to sleep in your arms."
Seeing Zhou Ling say this, Zhao Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"All right."
Zhao Kun verbally agreed, but in his heart he decided to coax Zhou Ling to sleep first, and then go to his secret garden to retrieve the package he had ordered online a few days ago, which contained beautiful lingerie that he had carefully selected online.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun couldn't help but feel a secret sense of anticipation and excitement.
