Although Zhou Na's appearance did not expose Zhou Chen's "bad behavior" like Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan did, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
In particular, Zhou Ling's words further confirmed Zhou Chen's excessive behavior.
Some people who knew Zhou Na, considering that she hadn't defended Zhou Chen, felt that Zhou Chen, as the older brother, must have let his three siblings down.
It's okay if someone says something bad about you.
It's not a problem if two people say bad things about you.
But if all three people say bad things about you, it must be because you're really bad; otherwise, how could all three of them say such things?
At this moment, most people think this way.
"You've all finished speaking, isn't it my turn to speak?"
Despite the disdain, contempt, disgust, and contempt in the eyes of those around him, Zhou Chen ignored them and instead focused his gaze on the three ingrates.
Seeing Zhou Chen's calm expression, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan both frowned.
Zhou Na's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly arose. Was Zhou Chen's counterattack about to begin?
"You can smear me all you want and throw all sorts of dirty water at me."
"Including inciting people who lack independent thinking ability to morally condemn me."
"But before you destroy me like this, shouldn't you have told everyone who you are and what your relationship is with me?"
“We have no blood relation whatsoever. We were adopted by my parents and grew up eating the food of the Zhou family. I want to ask you, where is your conscience when you publicly insult me, the biological son of your adoptive parents?”
Without any hasty explanations, hysterical rebuttals, or angry glares, Zhou Chen spoke in an extremely calm tone, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, yet loud enough to reach everyone's ears.
And after these words were spoken,
This surprised everyone who was originally hostile towards Zhou Chen.
Because Zhou Chen's words revealed explosive information.
Were Zhou Ling, Zhou Chuan, and Zhou Na adopted by Zhou Chen's parents?
This was unexpected by everyone.
If Zhou Chen were their older brother, his actions would indeed be wrong. However, if Zhou Chen had no blood relation to the three of them and treated them badly, the severity of his actions would be much lower.
"So they were adopted, not biological siblings."
"As adopted children, it is indeed wrong of them to publicly slander their adoptive parents' biological son. After all, they grew up in their family and should learn to be grateful."
"Isn't this a lie? They're making a fool of us. I almost wronged an innocent person. As adopted children, what right do you have to be so tough? You owe them a huge debt of gratitude."
In an instant, public opinion reversed dramatically, with some people no longer siding with Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling, but instead speaking up for Zhou Chen.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan realized something was wrong and began to try to salvage the situation.
“It’s true that we adopted you, but we’ve always treated you like our own brother. Yet you’ve been so cold-blooded and heartless towards us. That’s an undeniable fact.”
"Do you dare say you're a responsible older brother? You've started bullying us since Mom and Dad aren't here anymore, instead of treating us like siblings."
Zhou Ling once again adopted a pitiful posture, crying as she spoke in an attempt to gain more sympathy.
It turns out that tears do work.
"Even though they're not blood-related siblings, you can develop feelings for a dog, let alone a person. Even if there's no blood relation, you should still show some consideration and not make things too awkward."
"As the eldest brother, you should have a broader mind. People treat you like their own brother. Even if there is no responsibility, you should not become enemies after living together for so many years."
Some people still sided with Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, speaking up for the three siblings.
Surprisingly, these words won the approval of many people.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as someone was willing to stand by them, Zhou Chen would not be able to stay at school.
You think they're not wrong, right?
Zhou Chen suddenly turned his gaze to a male classmate who had just spoken up for the three ingrates.
The male student never expected that a single sentence would make him the center of attention, but it was indeed what he said. Not wanting to lose face in front of everyone, he straightened his back and said, "I think it's right."
Zhou Chen initially wanted to ignore the brainless people who were being swayed, but he couldn't stand some self-righteous guys who were making sarcastic remarks and advising him to be magnanimous.
So this time, he's going to give them a piece of his mind.
"According to you, even if they are not related by blood, you would give them the business that makes you money without any conditions. Even if they hit you for it, you would be magnanimous and pretend you didn't see it. Even if they go to your workplace and insult or slander you, you can still smile and say it doesn't matter."
Even if you give up your studies and give them the opportunity to go to school, while you work on a construction site for three years, risking your life, and don't receive a single word of thanks in return, taking it all for granted, you can still be indifferent. Even if you separate from your family and finally return to school, and they come to the school and embarrass you in public, can you still forgive them?
Zhou Chen stared coldly at the boy.
The boy opened his mouth, realizing that these things had all happened to Zhou Chen. If it were him, could he be indifferent and unconcerned?
It seems not.
No, absolutely not!
Let alone siblings who are not related by blood, even if they are siblings, he would not forgive them, because it was really too much, it was simply bullying.
Seeing the boy remain silent, Zhou Chen sneered, "Looks like you're a normal person too, not an idiot."
Too lazy to pay any more attention to the boy who had been rendered speechless by her rebuttal, Zhou Chen's gaze swept over the people to the side, especially those classmates who had just spoken up for Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling with such arrogance.
Wherever Zhou Chen's gaze fell, many students became embarrassed, either lowering their heads or looking away, not daring to meet his eyes.
After all, if we put ourselves in their shoes and imagined what Zhou Chen said happened to them, they would only be more furious.
Only an idiot wouldn't take it seriously!
The scene was completely silent.
After Zhou Chen's barrage of criticism, everyone knew what had happened, and things were not as they had imagined.
Zhou Chen did not wrong the three siblings; on the contrary, the three of them went extremely far.
Then, realizing that they had almost aided and abetted evil and wronged an innocent person, all eyes turned to Zhou Chuan, Zhou Ling, and the others with anger.
No one pities them anymore.
All the students felt they had been deceived and tricked, and that they had been fooled by several people.
This leads to someone using you as a pawn without you even realizing it.
Faced with increasingly angry stares, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were both a little flustered. They were supposed to make Zhou Chen the target of everyone's anger, but how did things suddenly turn around?
"It's all fake, everything he said is fake."
“Don’t believe what he says. He’s lying to you. None of those things he’s saying are true.”
The thought of failing in her revenge was unbearable for Zhou Ling, so she simply denied it altogether.
