After deleting the Penguin account from my phone,
Zhou Ling's anger had not subsided, and she kept patting her chest with one hand to calm herself down.
She couldn't understand why so many people knew about her family's affairs.
Why did a group of high school students come to mock her?
"Zhou Chen, you orchestrated all of this, didn't you?"
The only reason Zhou Ling could think of was that Zhou Chen was manipulating everything behind the scenes, and only Zhou Chen had the motive and the ability to do so.
Because Zhou Chen is rich and popular, he has sycophants who come to secretly observe her life in order to curry favor with her. As a result, what happens at her home will be known to those people.
She was certain that Zhou Chen knew all this, and she secretly sneered, laughing at her for deserving of the same fate.
“I, Zhou Ling, am indeed unhappy with my life, but do you think that by doing this and making everyone laugh at me, you can make me regret it? Zhou Chen, let me tell you, I will not let you succeed.”
"You've miscalculated. I'm not that fragile. Even if I've misjudged a man, I will make him a good man."
"I will definitely overturn your previous assertion and use my happy life to slap you in the face. I swear, I will do it."
Zhou Ling clenched her fists and made a silent decision.
No difficulty is insurmountable.
It's true that she's embarrassed right now, but that's only temporary. She'll get her revenge and let all those who look down on her know that Zhou Ling is no joke.
Putting down her phone, Zhou Ling turned on the TV to change her mood.
A documentary is playing on TV.
This is a documentary program about Uncle Hat cracking down on a pyramid scheme. The reporter went to the pyramid scheme den to describe the situation at the time and popularize how to avoid being deceived and mistakenly joining a pyramid scheme.
Zhou Ling initially watched it as just for fun, but as the scene shifted, she saw two familiar faces and couldn't help but be taken aback.
It was Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.
When asked how he fell for the pyramid scheme and how he was swindled out of 300,000 yuan, the reporter replied...
Zhou Ling then realized that the money she had given to Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua had been swindled away by a pyramid scheme. Suddenly, the scene changed, and Zhao Kun appeared on television as well.
"Sir, you are also a victim of pyramid schemes. Could you please tell me in detail what you experienced inside?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Sir, is there something you're having trouble saying?"
"Don't go, please let's talk."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Ling suddenly understood everything. It turned out that during the time Zhao Kun disappeared, he wasn't doing business with anyone at all; he had also been tricked into joining a pyramid scheme.
The scene shifts again, and the reporter is interviewing a pyramid scheme leader.
What is the thing you regret most right now?
"My biggest regret is not letting him wash all the socks and underwear of everyone. I was too careless with him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be sitting here."
"Oh? Could you tell me more about the 'him' you're talking about?"
“His name is Zhao Kun. I was tricked by him. From the moment he came in, he was planning to escape…”
Zhou Ling turned off the TV.
She had very mixed feelings. She was angry that Zhao Kun hadn't told her the truth, but also felt sorry for him because he was in a pyramid scheme and had to wash other people's dirty clothes every day.
"Brother Kun, why don't you tell me the truth? Are you worried I'll laugh at you? I'm your wife, how could I laugh at you? We're family."
Just as Zhou Ling finished speaking,
Zhao Kun pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing Zhao Kun's expressionless face, Zhou Ling hugged him tightly. "Brother Kun, I'm sorry. I didn't know you suffered so much in the pyramid scheme. You could have told me. I won't hold it against you. You'll always be the best in my heart."
Hearing this, Zhao Kun frowned.
How do you know all this?
"Zhou Dana, did Wang Xiuhua and the others tell you this?"
Zhao Kun looked serious.
Zhou Ling quickly shook her head, pointed to the television, and indicated that she had just seen it on the news.
Zhao Kun immediately turned the TV back on, but the documentary program had already ended.
"Brother Kun, what's wrong?"
Seeing Zhao Kun's dark expression, Zhou Ling looked worried. "Uncle Hat has brought those who bullied you to justice. Brother Kun, shouldn't you be happy?"
"happy?"
Zhao Kun paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. "Do you think I should be happy to appear on TV like this? What will people who know me think when they see me being tricked into a pyramid scheme and washing other people's smelly socks and underwear? They'll probably be laughing at me right now. Do you think I should be happy?"
Zhou Ling opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
"I'm sorry, Brother Kun, I didn't think that much about it."
Zhou Ling lowered her head in shame.
"By the way, Brother Kun, Second Sister came today and bought fruit for our family. Have a banana."
To please Zhao Kun, Zhou Ling quickly turned around and took a banana from her bag, peeled it, and presented it to Zhao Kun.
Zhao Kun snatched it and took a big bite of it. "What did she say when she came? Did she say anything disrespectful or anything like that?"
"No, Brother Kun, you misunderstand Second Sister. Not only did Second Sister not say anything unpleasant, she also gave our daughter two hundred yuan."
Um?
Upon hearing the word "money," Zhao Kun instantly perked up and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me the money so you don't get swindled out of everything again. I don't want anything like this to happen again."
Zhou Ling's cheeks flushed when she was told, and a wave of self-reproach washed over her again. She had always been in charge of the family finances.
However, ever since the incident where Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua took 300,000 yuan from her under the pretext of medical treatment, Zhao Kun has been resentful that she did not manage the family's money well and has taken back her right to manage the money.
Zhou Ling knew that she had indeed done wrong and had failed Zhao Kun's trust.
After handing the money to Zhao Kun, Zhao Kun casually stuffed it into his pocket, his eyes darting around as he said, "Your second sister is so generous, giving you two hundred yuan at once. It seems she earns a lot of money as a tutor. Tomorrow, find an excuse to ask her to give you some more."
"Brother Kun, my second sister will need a lot of money for college. Let's do this..."
Faced with Zhou Ling's predicament, Zhao Kun smiled dismissively, "I know that you can apply for scholarships to go to university. Your second sister's scholarships alone are enough to cover her studies. The money she earns as a tutor is completely unnecessary. You are her own sister, so what's wrong with her helping you out!"
"But……"
"No buts. You have to remember, a woman follows her husband wherever he goes. Your parents were swindled out of our 300,000 yuan compensation for the demolition. As their daughter, it's only right and proper for your sister to pay back some of their money."
Zhao Kun said confidently.
When this matter was brought up, Zhou Ling was speechless, because it was indeed her family who had wronged Zhao Kun, losing 300,000 yuan. She had always felt guilty about it, so even if Zhao Kun was indifferent to her and had a bad attitude, she would not be angry.
