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 829 Refusing to Help!

"Second sister... I... can you help me?"

"If you don't care about my feelings, at least think about Xiaoya. She's innocent."

Apart from Zhou Chuan, Zhou Ling couldn't find anyone else who could help her, so she had to swallow her pride and go to Yanli University to find Zhou Na and beg her for help.

"Zhou Ling, you told me before that you would no longer have anything to do with me. Have you forgotten those words? How dare you come to me for help? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

Zhou Na remained unmoved and waited coldly.

She remembered everything Zhou Ling had done to her; she had absolutely no good feelings towards this heartless younger sister.

Even though Zhou Ling was abandoned by Zhao Kun for fear of running away with the money, she still didn't feel sorry for Zhou Ling.

Because all of this was Zhou Ling's own doing; it was her insistence on being with Zhao Kun in the first place.

Despite her displeasure at being openly mocked, Zhou Ling dared not and could not show it, because apart from Zhou Na, she had no one else to turn to and no one was willing to help her.

She's truly all alone now.

"Second sister, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I was confused at the time and did something wrong that made you angry. You can hate me all you want, but please have pity on Xiaoya. It's okay if you don't want to help me, but can you take care of Xiaoya?"

Oh……

Taking care of the little girl?

Zhou Na remembered the time when Zhou Ling left Xiao Ya with her and secretly ran away. Was she coming back now?

"Zhou Ling, do I look stupid?"

"No, second sister, I didn't mean that, I..."

“I won’t care about you or your daughter. Don’t even think about it. Since we said we were cutting ties, we’re no longer sisters. I won’t clean up your messes anymore. You’re not worth it, and you don’t deserve it.”

Zhou Na's words were undeniably harsh, leaving Zhou Ling momentarily stunned.

"Don't come again, I can't bear the embarrassment."

"Go find whoever you want, just don't come looking for me, I don't owe you anything."

After saying this, Zhou Na, not wanting to waste any more words with Zhou Ling, turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling became anxious.

"Second sister, you won't even give me a little money? I'm your own sister, how can you be so heartless!"

Zhou Ling suddenly spoke loudly.

Zhou Na stopped and turned around, her face expressionless. "I'm ruthless... Zhou Ling, when it comes to this, no one is as ruthless as you. You sabotaged my business, making it impossible for me to continue. Did you consider me your own sister when you did that? Last time you abandoned your daughter to me and ran away, did you consider me your own sister? When you colluded with my fourth brother and said those harsh words about me in front of him, did you consider me your own sister? Zhou Ling, being your sister would only mean being betrayed by you. Therefore, I don't have a sister like you."

Zhou Ling's expression was priceless, because Zhou Na's words really exposed her weaknesses and hit Zhou Ling's sore spot.

She hadn't expected that Zhou Na knew all the bad things she had said about Zhou Na to Zhou Chuan. Only then did Zhou Ling realize that Zhou Chuan was actually on her side, just as she had thought.

"You...you all lied to me. You and Fourth Brother have been putting on an act all along?"

Having said all that, Zhou Ling's expression changed from ingratiating to a gloomy question.

Zhou Na chuckled but offered no explanation.

She felt there was nothing to say to an extremely selfish person. Although she was also selfish, Zhou Na believed she was far from being as selfish as Zhou Ling.

At least, she wasn't so heartless as to betray even her own family.

Too lazy to even glance at Zhou Ling again, Zhou Na turned and left once more.

“Zhou Na, if you don’t help me, I’ll come to your school every day and make sure you can’t study properly.”

Zhou Ling resorted to her last resort: a threat.

If the soft approach doesn't work, try the hard one.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhou Ling finished speaking, Zhou Na, who had already taken a few steps, suddenly turned back, took two steps in one, and suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Ling while she was still in shock.

Zhou Ling saw a slap coming towards her and froze on the spot.

She probably never expected Zhou Na to hit her.

Snap!

Zhou Na's slap was very hard.

"you……"

Zhou Ling held Zhao Xiaoya in one arm and touched her face with the other, her eyes filled with surprise.

“Zhou Ling, you’ve done so many despicable things, causing me to suffer countless criticisms throughout high school and college. Now you’re saying such things. I’m not even going to hit you; you deserve it. You’re threatening me, aren’t you? Fine, then come to school every day from now on. Let’s see who’s more shameful. I’ve been wanting someone to judge who should be blamed for all the things you’ve done.”

Zhou Na was really angry at Zhou Ling for threatening her like that; it was utterly outrageous.

She now feels more and more empathetic towards Zhou Chen's past experiences; she realizes what it feels like to be disgusted by Zhou Ling.

This time, Zhou Na stared at Zhou Ling for a full five seconds before turning away. Zhou Ling remained silent, partly because she knew her threat had failed, and partly because she understood Zhou Na's determination not to help her.

“Zhou Na…”

Zhou Ling opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The sisters' earlier falling out had caught the attention of some passersby, who now turned to look, pointing and whispering.

Some people even recognized Zhou Ling and came to confirm her identity.

"You're that ungrateful Zhou Ling, aren't you?"

"I'm not him, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Zhou Ling immediately denied it.

"Impossible, it was you. I've seen your picture, and the person you were just talking to was Zhou Na. You're her sister."

"Hey, why are you running? Are you feeling guilty? You've done so many bad things, are you afraid of being recognized?"

The words of the passersby behind her made Zhou Ling speed up her escape.

Even after Zhou Ling left, the crowd did not disperse. A man wearing a hat walked to the side, took out a miniature video camera from a bag, checked it, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"With this explosive news, it's sure to fetch a good price."

"Although it's not directly related to Zhou Chen himself, these two ungrateful wretches are both connected to Zhou Chen, so they can definitely fetch a high price."

That's right, the man was a paparazzi, whose job was to collect news.

Every day, I just keep an eye on celebrities and look for gossip.

Today, he originally wanted to find some news about Zhou Na, but he encountered an unexpected surprise: he witnessed the two sisters tearing each other apart and recorded their entire conversation.

"Zhou Ling was abandoned, her husband dressed in women's clothing, and his escape was exposed. Tsk tsk, every single one of these things can spark heated discussions among netizens."

"I made a profit!"

The man was very happy.

"I wonder if Zhou Chen is interested in this explosive news?"

Suddenly, the man had a thought: he could contact Zhou Chen first. Zhou Chen was so rich, he probably wouldn't mind spending money to buy first-hand information.
