"I didn't, how could I harm my fourth brother?"
Zhou Ling would never admit that she would have come here if it weren't for Zhou Chuan.
How could she harm Zhou Chuan? He's her own brother, blood is thicker than water. How could Zhou Na say such a thing about her?
"The long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you. If you want what's best for him, you should encourage him to turn himself in instead of hiding. Can he really hide forever?"
“I won’t give him the money, because I don’t want to hurt him.”
"Whether you want to harm him or help him, the decision is yours."
Having said that,
Zhou Na walked past Zhou Ling, leaving Zhou Ling standing there alone.
"In the end, you just don't want to give your fourth brother money, right? You're afraid he'll drag you down, so you're just making it sound so high-sounding."
suddenly,
Zhou Ling turned her head and gave a cold snort at Zhou Na's back.
Zhou Na paused slightly in her steps.
She didn't answer, and after a moment, she continued walking straight away.
“Zhou Na, you’re just using the excuse of doing what’s best for your fourth brother, but you’re actually only thinking about yourself. You’re a selfish person.”
Zhou Ling suddenly realized that it had become her fault. She clearly wanted to help Zhou Chuan, but Zhou Na said that she was harming people, making it seem as if she wasn't cold-blooded and ruthless.
Why should I?
Thinking back to her previous falling out with Zhou Na and the faint distance Zhou Na showed, she realized that Zhou Na had changed. She had become selfish and didn't want to care about her and Zhou Chuan anymore; she only wanted to mind her own business.
Even if Zhou Na speaks so righteously, criticizing her from a moral high ground, it might simply be because she doesn't want the money.
After all, she and Zhou Chuan now seem more like a burden.
Anyone who sees it will want to avoid it.
"Second sister, you've become just like Zhou Chen. You've really broken our hearts!"
“If you won’t help your fourth brother, I’ll do it myself. I’ll make him turn himself in. How could you even think of that? Do you know how miserable it is in prison? How can you be so heartless? He’s your own brother.”
"You may not feel sorry for me, but I do."
Zhou Ling murmured softly,
Seeing that someone recognized her, Zhou Ling stopped and quickly left.
"That person, is it Zhou Ling?"
"It seems so. She spoke to Zhou Na. She's pregnant. Who else could it be but her?"
"Wasn't she mute just now? Turns out she was afraid of being recognized. We've all been fooled by her."
"This is outrageous! How dare she deceive us! We must let more people know about her shameless and evil deeds."
When classmates saw the two sisters talking, they immediately understood what was going on and all showed their anger.
Zhou Na sat down in the classroom.
My heart wasn't as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Because Zhou Ling's words just now hit the nail on the head, striking at her true inner thoughts.
She didn't want to take the money because she was afraid that Zhou Chuan would break the law and affect her future college entrance exams.
That's correct.
But was she wrong to do that?
Of the three siblings, she is the most promising and has the best chance of making a name for herself in the future. Is she going to give up her future?
I'm sorry, she can't do that.
The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and she won't let her three years of hard work go to waste.
She loathed her background, her parents, Fanjia County, and the high school she attended; she wanted to get away from everything around her.
Including Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan,
You, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, are all grown up now. Why should we make her worry about and deal with the troubles she keeps causing?
She hates cleaning up other people's messes and dealing with endless trivial matters.
She just wants to live comfortably, and she doesn't think she's wrong. Isn't selfishness normal?
Zhou Na actually envies Zhou Chen; Zhou Chen's current life is exactly what she wants.
She doesn't have to worry about Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, those two troublemakers, and she can still achieve something in her studies and career. Sometimes, she even thinks that it would be great if she, like Zhou Chen, had no blood relation to Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan. That way, she could confidently say that what Zhou Ling did had nothing to do with her and she could sever her sibling relationship.
But the reality is quite the opposite.
She, Zhou Ling, and Zhou Chuan are destined to have an unbreakable blood relationship.
"I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."
Zhou Na turned to the last page of the book, where this sentence was written. Staring at this ancient saying, Zhou Na's gaze became more and more determined.
The news that Zhou Ling had pretended to be mute and appeared at the school gate spread.
When Li Kaile delivered this firsthand intelligence to Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen remembered that the glance he had taken that morning was indeed from Zhou Ling.
In order to avoid being recognized and ridiculed to her face, Zhou Ling not only did not refute, but also joined in the criticism and blended in.
That's really impressive.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but admire him.
Risking being recognized, what is Zhou Ling going to do when she arrives at the gate of a high school?
If seeing him is not the only reason left, then Zhou Na is the only one that can be explained.
So why didn't Zhou Ling mention some things over the phone, but instead came in person?
Could it be that these two have had a falling out?
Zhou Chen couldn't help but speculate.
He didn't know that he was actually right, and that after today's incident, the relationship between Zhou Ling and Zhou Na had once again plummeted to a freezing point.
On the other end,
After Zhou Ling returned home,
After waiting all afternoon, she finally received another call from Zhou Chuan, and she told him her thoughts about Zhou Na.
"I will not turn myself in, I don't want to go to jail, I would rather die than turn myself in."
Zhou Chuan would rather hide for the rest of his life than be locked up in prison; he never wanted to experience that kind of agonizing time again.
I can't even imagine what life will be like in prison.
"Fourth brother, second sister has changed. She is now as cold and selfish as Zhou Chen, only caring about herself. From now on, it will only be the two of us, brother and sister, relying on each other for survival."
"Third sister, second sister might really be thinking of me. I don't believe second sister would be so cold-hearted. She's not Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen has no blood relation with us, but second sister is different. We are siblings. No one can change that."
We should understand my second sister. She wants to go to university and make something of herself. We should support her, not cause her trouble. As for the money, I'll figure it out myself. At worst, I'll have to beg for food or rummage through garbage; I won't starve.
Zhou Chuan recalled how Zhou Na had given him money before without refusing, and he felt that Zhou Na was drifting further and further away from him and Zhou Ling.
Zhou Na simply chooses not to express it.
Moreover, given his current status, it's indeed inappropriate for Zhou Na to get involved. He can't harm Zhou Na, and Zhou Na must have made him turn himself in based on that.
He believed that Zhou Na was acting in his best interests and for his own good, and was not selfish.
"Fourth brother, you're being foolish."
"Second sister, she's really not the same second sister she used to be."
Putting down her phone, Zhou Ling sighed. Zhou Chuan didn't believe her and was still making excuses for Zhou Na, but the distance she sensed from Zhou Na convinced her that her judgment was absolutely correct.
"You say Zhou Chen wasn't wrong about Xiao Kun, but if you ask me, it's the other way around that he wasn't wrong about you. You're the most selfish person ever!"
Zhou Ling muttered to herself.
