Three figures appeared at the entrance of the old residential area.
It quickly attracted the attention of the elderly, who all turned their gazes towards it.
They were none other than the three ungrateful siblings who had come to join forces to punish Zhou Chen.
"Second sister, third sister, do you think he'll be home?"
Zhou Chuan was afraid of missing his target.
Zhou Ling said dismissively, "It's Sunday today, the whole school is on holiday, he must be home. Even if he's not, it doesn't matter, we can go to that lousy construction site to find him, he'll definitely be there."
Zhou Na looked up at a familiar window upstairs and said expressionlessly, "We'll go up and see. If he's not there, we'll decide where to look next."
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan nodded. They would lead the charge with Zhou Na, because among the three, Zhou Na was the oldest and smartest, and was the main force in this expedition.
After reaching a consensus,
The three of them prepared to set off together, but just as they entered the building, they bumped into Zhou Chen, who was walking out.
Both sides were stunned for a few seconds.
What are these three ingrates up to? They all showed up, not one of them missing!
Zhou Chen immediately cursed his bad luck in his heart. No wonder he saw on the Chinese almanac that it was auspicious for marriage but not for going out before he left.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze, walked past the three people, and went outside, ignoring the three ingrates.
They completely ignored the three of them.
"Second sister, third sister, we can't let him go!"
Seeing Zhou Chen walk away, Zhou Chuan was the first to react and hurriedly reminded Zhou Na and Zhou Ling that if they didn't call Zhou Chen back, their trip would have been in vain.
"Zhou Chen, stop right there! We have something to say to you!" Zhou Ling shouted at Zhou Chen as soon as she came to her senses after being ignored.
At the same time, the three siblings walked together.
Zhou Chen paused for a moment, but didn't turn around, continuing to ignore it and not wanting to pay attention.
“We came here today to settle things with you. If you leave now, we will come back tomorrow. If you don’t want us to bother you, then listen to what we have to say.”
It was Zhou Na who spoke, causing Zhou Chen to stop completely.
Seeing Zhou Chen's reaction, Zhou Na's eyes flickered, while Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan looked on with admiration. Zhou Na's words were indeed effective, and she really managed to stop Zhou Chen.
She truly lives up to her reputation as their second eldest sister.
"What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it. I don't want to hear nonsense. After you're done, you'd better not bother me. I don't want to see any of you."
Zhou Chen coldly surveyed the three of them.
He wouldn't waste a single minute if it weren't for the need to get rid of these three guys completely.
“You hit your fourth brother, you owe him an apology.”
“If your parents were still alive, they would never allow you to do this. Violence cannot solve problems, nor is it a means to solve them.”
Faced with Zhou Chen's indifference, Zhou Na's pride kept her equally aloof. Then, using Zhou Chuan's beating as an excuse, she stood on the moral high ground to question and pressure him.
"If your parents were alive, they would definitely scold you, and you must apologize to me."
With Zhou Na backing him up, Zhou Chuan began to act self-righteously, using his parents to pressure Zhou Chen, and then put on an act of waiting for an apology.
hehe……
It turned out that the three of them, led by Zhou Na, had come to confront him and demand an explanation, intending to jointly punish him.
Zhou Chen finally understood.
They even brought up their deceased parents in an attempt to force him to compromise and comply.
Do you really think that saying this will make him back down?
If he were still that treacherous older brother from his past life...
Even if his parents were still alive, let alone after they passed away, Zhou Chen would never compromise in this lifetime.
Don't try to pressure me with your parents' influence.
You don't deserve it!
Those are my parents, Zhou Chen's parents, and they have no blood relation to the three of you.
"Is this all the three of you have to say? Aside from that, won't you let me give up one of my businesses or give you some of my money?"
As Zhou Chen spoke, his gaze fell on Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan.
Upon hearing this, the two were both taken aback, then overjoyed, thinking that Zhou Chen had agreed to compromise.
“An apology certainly can’t make up for the psychological damage to Fourth Brother, but if you give the stinky tofu business to Fourth Brother as compensation, I can forgive you on his behalf,” Zhou Ling said.
"Besides the stinky tofu business, I also need 10,000 yuan. I know you have it. As long as you give it to me, you will still be our big brother. Otherwise, none of us will acknowledge you, and you will be all alone." Zhou Chuan immediately added that he wanted not only the business but also the money.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Faced with the greedy and shameless three siblings,
Zhou Chen suddenly clapped his hands three times, a smile on his face as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan felt extremely uncomfortable seeing the smile on Zhou Chen's face, as if he were mocking them.
Zhou Na had a bad feeling.
The next second,
Zhou Chen sneered, "As expected, they are insatiable. They want me to apologize, they want my business, and they even covet my money. A bunch of ungrateful wolves."
If my parents hadn't taken you three in and adopted you back then, you would have died on the streets long ago. No wonder you were abandoned. Your selfishness, greed, and shamelessness reveal the true nature of your biological parents.
Our Zhou family doesn't have any heartless, ungrateful people who only know how to take. You have no right to make demands of me, because I don't owe you anything; you owe me.
These words,
It was like a thunderclap from the ground, leaving Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan completely stunned.
They're not from the Zhou family? Were they adopted?
How is that possible!
Zhou Chen must be talking nonsense.
“Even if you don’t want to compensate Fourth Brother, you don’t have to insult us like this. We’re not wild children.” Zhou Ling couldn’t accept it and refused to believe it.
Zhou Chuan retorted angrily, "You're making baseless accusations. I am a member of the Zhou family."
Zhou Chen looked at the furious Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, while Zhou Na remained silent with a cold face. He was somewhat surprised by Zhou Na's reaction, but he was too lazy to guess, and continued:
“You can ask the oldest person in the neighborhood. They know if the three of you were adopted. I don’t want to waste my breath on you. Stay away from me from now on. I’m not your older brother, and I don’t care. Don’t be a nuisance and bother me.”
Having said that,
Zhou Chen, not wanting to waste any more words with the three, turned and left.
The truth wasn't revealed before, which led to the three ungrateful people constantly entangled with each other. This time, the break is complete.
Otherwise, who knows what disgusting things might happen later.
As for his parents telling him not to tell the three the truth about his background, to hell with that!
In my past life, I was foolish enough to keep quiet and keep my mouth shut. What did I gain in the end? I gave everything, but still didn't receive a single kind word.
No one is grateful for his contributions; they all take it for granted.
Why should he continue to keep it a secret?
These three ungrateful wretches are not worth protecting, and he doesn't need this kinship. So let's expose them to the public and sever all ties completely.
