Zhou Ling noticed that the more hysterical she became, the colder the gazes of the people present took at her.
The sarcastic looks from many people, in particular, made her extremely unhappy.
These people are all bad guys; they all speak up for Zhou Chen, and not one of them is a kind-hearted person.
The thought that she had tried to smear Zhou Chen, hoping to gain sympathy and support from many people to force Zhou Chen to hand over the construction site canteen business, only to end up being reprimanded by everyone, had backfired, making Zhou Ling increasingly angry.
“You ganged up on me, a young girl. I’m going to tell your boss, I’m going to file a complaint, and I’m going to get you all fired.”
Faced with Zhou Ling's tantrum, everyone found it amusing, while at the same time feeling disheartened for Zhou Chen.
They never imagined that Zhou Chen, such a good person, would have such an unreasonable and heartless sister.
Not only did they show no gratitude for Zhou Chen's efforts, they also tried to steal the profitable business and hand it over to a blond-haired guy.
Zhao Kun's appearance alone clearly suggests a scoundrel or street thug. If someone like that were to run the construction site canteen, the workers would rather not eat.
"Little girl, you should leave. You're not welcome here."
Old Xu spoke up, issuing an order to leave.
He only let Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun in because of Zhou Chen, but Zhou Ling is an ingrate, and he instinctively dislikes people like that.
Moreover, he knew that Zhou Ling and Zhou Chen were not related by blood. Zhou Ling was so heartless. No matter how Zhou Chen felt, even he, an outsider, felt extremely disheartened.
From Zhou Ling's behavior, Xu Laoqi could roughly deduce the other two siblings' identities, and he guessed that they were probably the same.
This made Xu Laoqi feel even more sorry for his apprentice, Zhou Chen.
It's ironic that after working so hard and saving every penny for three years, I've raised such an ungrateful child.
"I want to see your leader."
Zhou Ling showed her stubborn side; she didn't want to leave in disgrace. She wanted to make all those who sided with Zhou Chen lose their jobs.
Hearing this, everyone present found it utterly ridiculous. An outsider wanted to go to the leaders and complain about all of them. It seemed that Zhou Chen's sister was not only heartless but also brainless.
Poor Zhou Chen.
“You dare to laugh at me? What gives you the right? You migrant workers are all stinking and filthy. You are the bottom of society.”
"I was going to ask you to settle this, but bah! You're all a bunch of ignorant farmers. You don't deserve it. You're only fit to work for others your whole lives..."
Zhou Ling's words immediately changed the expression of many of her coworkers.
Even Xu Laoqi frowned deeply.
Such insults caused some to clench their fists, their gazes turning cold.
If Zhou Ling weren't Zhou Chen's sister, someone would have already taken action.
"Go away."
Xu Laoqi suppressed his anger and said coldly.
Zhou Ling sensed that everyone was angered by her, but instead of being afraid, she was smug and proud. She raised her head and said arrogantly, "You think I'll just leave because you tell me to? Why should I listen to you? If you're angry, then go ahead and hit me."
"If you're a man, hit me. Come on."
Zhou Ling stood with her hands on her hips and stretched her neck, displaying the demeanor of a shrew. If she were to be beaten, she would have a perfect excuse to complain to the construction site supervisor.
She even called the police, hoping to get the person who hit her jailed.
"Don't do anything reckless."
Xu Laoqi was really afraid that someone would lose their temper. Zhou Ling was really too infuriating; she was practically challenging other people's bottom line.
"A bunch of cowards."
"No wonder you guys became Zhou Chen's coworkers, you're all cowards, spineless cowards..."
Zhou Ling became increasingly arrogant and domineering, and her sharp tongue infuriated everyone present.
Unfortunately, they couldn't take action; they could only endure it.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling became even more emboldened and reckless, knowing that no one would dare to touch her.
Just as Zhou Ling was saying even harsher things, trying to provoke everyone,
She noticed that everyone's gaze had shifted from her to what was behind her.
This made Zhou Ling instinctively turn around and look back.
"elder brother……"
Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment when she saw a cold face.
That's right.
Zhou Chen arrived. Upon hearing Li Juan say that Zhou Ling had come to the construction site, he rushed over immediately and happened to witness what Zhou Ling was saying.
"week……"
Before Zhou Ling could correct herself, she called Zhou Chen by his full name, and what awaited her was a merciless slap.
Snap!
Zhou Chen slapped Zhou Ling across the face without any expression.
Zhou Ling was stunned. She touched her burning face, looking incredulous that Zhou Chen had actually hit her.
Even her parents had never hit her, yet Zhou Chen slapped her in front of so many people.
"Disgraceful thing, get out! Get out now!"
Zhou Chen was genuinely angry. He didn't mind Zhou Ling arguing with him, but going to the construction site, insulting many of his fellow workers, and saying such hurtful things was something he simply couldn't tolerate.
Enraged, he laid a hand on Zhou Ling for the first time.
"You dare hit my wife, you surnamed Zhou, are you out of your mind? She's your sister! You're siding with an outsider!" Zhao Kun roared, his eyes wide with rage, after recovering from his shock.
Zhou Chen gave Zhao Kun a cold look. "You get out of here too. Don't force me to hit you as well."
"You... fine, Zhou, you're awesome."
Zhao Kun was intimidated by Zhou Chen's gaze and dared not make a move. Moreover, he knew that if he dared to make a move, everyone present would help Zhou Chen, and he would inevitably suffer a loss on his own.
Therefore, Zhao Kun tolerated it.
"Zhou Chen, you dare to hit me? From now on, I, Zhou Ling, will not have you as my brother."
"I hate you, I will never forgive you in my life."
Zhou Ling's eyes were red from crying, and she felt only hatred for Zhou Chen.
"Don't make me say it a second time, get out!"
"You'll regret this!"
Zhou Ling gave Zhou Chen one last hateful look, then turned and pulled Zhao Kun's arm, leading him outside.
Having come to this point, it was clear that getting the canteen food at the construction site was hopeless, so the two had no choice but to slink away.
"Master, fellow workers, I'm sorry."
"I've made a fool of myself in front of you."
Turning away from his gaze, Zhou Chen bowed deeply to the group, feeling extremely apologetic.
Zhou Ling's outburst has not only tarnished her reputation, but also his. Even if he wants to sever all ties with Zhou Ling, he will ultimately have to clean up the mess.
“Brother Zhou, we’re not angry. We’re just heartbroken for you. Your sister is not only immature but also has no conscience. We really feel it’s not worth all the hard work you’ve done these past few years.”
"Brother Zhou, you're better off without your sister. She's got no conscience."
"Stay away from your sister and take better care of yourself from now on."
The workers, without a hint of complaint, came forward to help Zhou Chen up, patted him on the shoulder, and offered him various words of comfort.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
