Zhou Chuan called Zhou Ling and Zhou Na separately.
To his surprise, only he and Zhou Ling received the call from Secretary Wang; Zhou Na was unaware of it.
"Second sister, don't be too sad. Maybe Secretary Wang hasn't called you yet."
“Since Father wants to see us, he can’t possibly leave you out.”
On the surface, Zhou Chuan offered words of comfort, but in his heart he was secretly pleased, thinking that his father, whom he had never met, seemed to care more about him and Zhou Ling.
Although I don't know why
But Zhou Chuan thought this was a good thing. If his father liked Zhou Na, Zhou Na might become his rival and compete with him for the family fortune, which would put him in danger and he might lose to Zhou Na. But if his rival was Zhou Ling, he didn't need to worry because Zhou Ling was far less intelligent than Zhou Na. Moreover, he had maintained a good relationship with Zhou Na, and Zhou Na would definitely help him and give him advice.
The siblings chatted for a while and then ended the call.
Zhou Na didn't say anything, but after hanging up the phone, a sense of disappointment still rose in her heart.
She lost interest in reading and studying, and kept glancing at her phone, hoping that Secretary Wang would call her.
However, an hour passed, then two hours, and it wasn't until eight or nine o'clock in the evening that Secretary Wang called again.
This inevitably caused Zhou Na to feel a sense of unease.
Unable to stop her from letting her mind wander, she wondered if her father preferred Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, and that was why he wanted to meet them first.
That night,
Zhou Na fell into insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The next day
Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling both arrived at the location specified by Secretary Wang precisely on time.
Although meeting at the hospital entrance was a bit strange, the two didn't think much of it. As long as they could see the wealthy father, it didn't matter where they met.
"Secretary Wang, didn't my father come?"
When they saw Secretary Wang get out of the car alone, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling both glanced behind him a few more times.
“Miss, Young Master, Mr. Zhou has a very important matter to attend to and cannot be present, so I will have to come to see you in his place.”
Secretary Wang explained with a smile.
Upon learning that Zhou Haide could not come, both Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling were visibly disappointed.
Secretary Wang immediately got straight to the point, stating that Zhou Haide had requested blood tests and paternity tests to confirm that the three individuals had not been mistakenly identified.
"Secretary Wang, didn't you already confirm our identities?"
Zhou Chuan was somewhat resistant, because he felt it was completely unnecessary.
Zhou Ling shared the same thought, her brows furrowing slightly.
"What you say is true, but just to be on the safe side, we still need to do what needs to be done. This involves very important matters, and we hope that you two can cooperate."
Secretary Wang smiled.
"Secretary Wang, we'll do it, we're willing to cooperate."
Zhou Chuan suddenly agreed, for no other reason than that he had heard Secretary Wang mention something very important. What else could it be but the inheritance of the family fortune? Therefore, their identities could not be taken lightly.
Seeing that Zhou Chuan nodded, Zhou Ling didn't say anything more.
Half an hour later,
Secretary Wang has left.
Zhou Chuan thought that once the paternity test came back, his status as the heir would be officially recognized, and he would become the legal heir of the Zhou family. As for Zhou Ling, as a married daughter, she was no longer considered a legitimate heir and had no right to compete with him for the inheritance.
Looking at Zhao Kun, who was dressed impeccably and had come along to curry favor with his father Zhou Haide, Zhou Chuan snorted disdainfully and cursed, "King of a gigolo!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun's face immediately darkened.
He found that Zhou Chuan was becoming increasingly arrogant, and now he even dared to humiliate him in front of him.
"Fourth brother, what are you saying?"
Zhou Ling immediately composed herself, looking somewhat angry.
"Third sister, I'm just telling the truth. Some men, as grown men, don't earn money to support their families. They rely on their wives all day long and don't even feel ashamed. If you ask me, if you don't have the ability to earn money to support your wife, then don't get married. You should just marry into her family."
"Fourth brother, apologize to your brother-in-law right now, or I'll get angry."
How could Zhou Ling allow Zhou Chuan to insult Zhao Kun repeatedly? No matter what, Zhao Kun was her little brother Kun, her man.
"Make me apologize to him? Third sister, are you crazy? He's someone who lives off you, I'm not going to apologize to him. If he wants me to apologize, he'll have to show me some achievements. Otherwise, he's just a gigolo."
Thinking back to the past, when he followed Zhao Kun, Zhao Kun treated him, his brother-in-law, with an arrogant attitude. When he went to Zhou Ling to get money, he had to be careful not to let Zhao Kun know. Now that he was a rich young master, it was his turn to rise in power, so naturally he wanted to take some small revenge.
If it weren't for Zhou Ling's sake, he would have retaliated even more severely.
“Your brother-in-law has already figured out Zhou Chen’s milk tea recipe. We will open a milk tea shop soon and compete with Zhou Chen for business. At that time, your brother-in-law will be fully capable of supporting me. Fourth brother, don’t underestimate your brother-in-law. He will succeed sooner or later.”
Zhou Ling tried her best to save face for Zhao Kun.
"Heh, let's talk about that after he succeeds. You want me to apologize now? No way!"
Zhou Chuan thought Zhao Kun would start a new business, but it turns out he's just copying Zhou Chen's business. The stinky tofu was the same thing, and now he's copying Zhou Chen's milk tea. It's the same old trick, just a different name. The result won't be much different. Only Zhou Ling is foolish enough to believe that Zhao Kun can defeat Zhou Chen.
Watching Zhou Chuan leave so casually,
Zhou Ling comforted him, "Brother Kun, don't mind him. Fourth Brother... he's just a bit arrogant. Once we've built up the milk tea business, he'll realize how capable you are, Brother Kun. At that time, he definitely won't have the same attitude as he does now."
"I'm not angry, don't worry."
Zhao Kun smiled, not angry, but just saying it. In his heart, he had already cursed Zhou Chuan, who looked down on him, thousands of times.
"You smug little brat, if it weren't for your father, what right do you have to be so arrogant in front of me?"
"You dare to look down on me? I, Zhao Kun, will remember this. You just wait."
On the surface, Zhao Kun remained calm, but in his heart, he had already added Zhou Chuan to his list of targets for revenge.
at the same time,
Zhou Na looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a puzzled expression, because she didn't know him at all, and had no idea why he wanted to see her.
Was she introduced by other parents who wanted her to be a tutor?
But she no longer tutors and earns money.
"More than ten years have passed, and you have grown up so much. It is very good that you were able to get into Yanli University."
"As expected of my offspring."
Whoosh!
Upon hearing these words and hearing the loud laughter from the other person, Zhou Na's expression changed. She finally knew who this person was!
It was her father, Zhou Haide, whom she had never met.
But wasn't he supposed to be seeing Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan? Why is he here?
