Zhou Chen knew exactly what Zhou Ling was up to the moment she opened her mouth.
They just wanted to create a scene in front of him and, incidentally, ruin his reputation at school.
He certainly wouldn't tolerate such slander.
You, Zhou Ling, like to spread rumors, right? Fine, then I'll spread rumors about you too, and see how you deal with it.
Only magic can defeat magic!
Follow other people's paths and leave them with nowhere to go!
Zhou Chen wouldn't give in to Zhou Ling's wishes and let her swagger around. Someone with a history of spreading rumors, let's see who would believe your words.
Zhou Ling naturally had no evidence, because she knew that Zhou Chen was being smeared and was more aware than anyone else that Zhou Chen was being wronged.
But she wouldn't say these things, and unexpectedly, Zhou Chen refuted her in her own way.
"...Hmph, so what if you don't admit it? Nobody buys your stuff, and your stinky tofu shop will go out of business and close down sooner or later."
Unable to win the argument with Zhou Chen, Zhou Ling immediately changed the subject.
"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see? It's also your ultimate goal in smearing my business. So, you're happier than anyone else right now."
Zhou Chen sneered.
"You... I told you, I wasn't the one spreading rumors." Zhou Ling was furious and didn't want to admit that she was the one who did it behind the scenes.
Although she didn't do it, but Zhou Chuan did it, she believed that Zhou Chen couldn't find any evidence and was trying to pin the blame on her, which she certainly couldn't accept.
Otherwise, her reputation for being heartless and cruel will be brought up again, and people will despise her even more.
“It wasn’t you, yet you were happier than anyone else, and deliberately came up to me to humiliate me. Do you think that’s reasonable?”
You can't be heartless. Your parents raised you three siblings without asking for anything in return, but what have you done? You've been ungrateful and repaid kindness with enmity. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?
I only want to give you three siblings a piece of advice: What goes around comes around; retribution may be delayed, but it will surely come!
Zhou Chen's words were like knives, and Zhou Ling bit her lip tightly, her face turning pale.
Among the onlookers, someone who couldn't stand it anymore stood up and said, "It wasn't enough that you spread rumors and sent false text messages around the school before. Now, you want to ruin Zhou's business. You can't be so shameless. At the very least, you were adopted by his parents. How can you do such a shameless thing?"
"A person like you doesn't deserve to be in a high school. You're scum, a disgrace to society. You can't stand seeing others do well. Be careful you don't get your comeuppance."
Another student stood up and shouted at Zhou Ling.
Once such voices emerge, they fall like dominoes, with more and more people standing up to criticize Zhou Ling.
In an instant, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were bombarded with accusations of being heartless, ungrateful, and ungrateful wolves.
Zhou Ling's eyes reddened; she felt both ashamed and embarrassed.
Zhou Chuan knew he couldn't stay any longer. They had become the target of everyone's criticism, and continuing would only make them an even bigger laughingstock.
Immediately, Zhou Chuan grabbed Zhou Ling and fled.
His hasty retreat immediately drew even more ridicule.
"Why are you running away? Are you feeling guilty?"
If only I had known then what I know now.
"Serves you right!"
The overwhelming laughter gradually subsided until it was completely inaudible.
The siblings stopped.
"Third sister, don't be angry. Those guys are just a bunch of sycophants. Don't pay them any mind."
Zhou Chuan quickly comforted Zhou Ling.
Tears streamed down Zhou Ling's face uncontrollably. She had wanted to see Zhou Chen make a fool of himself, but instead, she became the fool herself once again.
Not only did Zhou Chen bully her, but even classmates she didn't know helped Zhou Chen bully her.
Zhou Ling felt extremely wronged.
Given how Zhou Chen treated her before, is it wrong for her to retaliate against him?
Why is everyone siding with Zhou Chen and criticizing her?
Why can Zhou Chen stand on the moral high ground and portray the three siblings as ungrateful people when they are not?
It was you, Zhou Chen, who was cold-hearted first!
Moreover, their parents adopted them voluntarily; they were too young to know anything or make any choices at the time.
Since you've decided to adopt, you should take responsibility; isn't that what you should do?
Even if we take a step back and say that the three siblings hadn't been adopted by the Zhou family, they might have been adopted by the Li family, the Zhao family, the Wang family, or other families, and perhaps they would be living happier lives than they are now.
Their lives were not their choice.
What wrong have the three siblings done? Why are they being treated like this?
Putting aside the facts, are you, Zhou Chen, and even your parents, completely without fault?
"Third sister, let Zhou Chen be arrogant and smug. His business will soon be unable to continue. Let's see how long he can laugh."
Zhou Chuan, unaware of Zhou Ling's inner thoughts, continued to persuade her.
Zhou Ling wiped away her tears. She was no longer sad or upset. Today was embarrassing, but the fact that Zhou Chen's business was about to end was the best thing.
No matter how capable or reasonable you are, Zhou Chen, you are still powerless to change the situation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling's mood instantly improved.
On the other end,
Zhou Chen clasped his hands in gratitude to the classmates who spoke up for him.
The crowd then gradually dispersed.
Zhou Chen believes that Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan deserved to be humiliated after coming to show off and try to steal a chicken but ended up losing more than they gained.
Why bother coming here and getting slapped in the face?
Once wasn't enough, so I kept adding more.
How shameless!
He once suspected that Zhou Ling, this ungrateful wretch, might have masochistic tendencies; otherwise, why would she keep popping up so tirelessly?
