"You're spying on me?"
Zhou Ling stared intently at Zhou Chuan. She never expected that Zhou Chuan knew everything about Xiao Ya throwing things at Zhou Na. There was only one explanation: Zhou Chuan was secretly monitoring her.
"Fourth brother, I have treated you well. When you were in trouble before, I was the one who helped you and gave you money. Have you forgotten all of these things?"
Zhou Ling's chest heaved with anger. She suddenly realized that Zhou Chuan in front of her was also somewhat unfamiliar, as if she didn't recognize him.
Zhou Chuan nodded, not denying it, and said, "That's right, you helped me, but Third Sister, wasn't helping me what you were supposed to do? If you hadn't misled me back then, making me think I was being wanted by Uncle Hat all along, how could I have hidden for so long and suffered so much? So, you owe me."
"You gave me money to start my business and supported me; that's compensation for me. Besides, I don't keep all the profits for myself; you get a share too. Helping me is also helping yourself."
When Zhou Chuan blamed her for the mistakes of his previous hiding, Zhou Ling's eyes widened. She never expected that Zhou Chuan would hold a grudge over this matter and even harbor resentment towards her.
But she didn't do it on purpose.
She was simply misled.
"Even if I have wronged you, it is not a reason for you to deceive me. Because I did it unintentionally, while you did it on purpose, secretly disappearing and making me worry, blame myself, and feel guilty. This is betrayal, this is the behavior of an ingrate."
Zhou Ling retorted in a deep voice, her face filled with despair.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan sneered without the slightest shame and retorted, "Third Sister, you have no right to accuse me of betrayal or of being an ingrate. Your act of leaving Xiao Ya to Second Sister is essentially the same as what I did. To Second Sister, isn't your behavior also a form of betrayal and an act of being an ingrate?"
Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment after being rebuked, but then she explained, "I left Xiao Ya with my second sister because only my second sister can save her. If Xiao Ya stays with me, she will only die. Do you think I really want to do that?"
“Xiaoya is my daughter, a piece of my flesh. If it weren’t for a last resort, what mother would be willing to abandon her child to someone else? Zhou Chuan, I’m not as cold-blooded and heartless as you think. I’m not Zhou Chen.”
Seeing Zhou Ling speaking so confidently, Zhou Chuan chuckled and retorted again, "Then how do you explain throwing Xiao Ya in the trash can at the entrance of that rich neighborhood? Didn't you say that only Second Sister could save Xiao Ya? As far as I know, Second Sister doesn't live there."
Whoosh!
Zhou Ling's pupils dilated; Zhou Chuan actually knew about this.
Because Zhou Chuan exposed her, she really couldn't explain her attempt to let a rich man take Zhao Xiaoya away. Zhou Ling suddenly fell silent.
In a short time,
Neither the siblings spoke again.
Until quite a while,
Zhou Chuan broke the silence first, "Third Sister, we're actually the same kind of people, only thinking about ourselves. So, let's not laugh at each other, let's just let this go, we're even."
As Xiaoya's uncle, although I wouldn't borrow money from loan sharks for her sake, I would try my best to help. We are blood relatives, siblings, and should help each other instead of becoming enemies and making ourselves a laughingstock. You wouldn't want Zhou Chen to know that the three of us siblings have fallen apart, would you?
Faced with Zhou Chuan's suggestion to reconcile, Zhou Ling frowned, pondered for a while, and then agreed, "Okay, let's not dwell on the past, let's let bygones be bygones."
"Third sister, let's shake hands."
Zhou Chuan took the initiative to extend his hand.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling shook hands with Zhou Chuan.
This seemingly harmonious and united scene between the siblings appears heartwarming, but in reality, both of them harbor their own ulterior motives.
Zhou Chuan's idea was to avoid straining the relationship and unite with Zhou Ling so that they could continue to work together against Zhou Chen in the future.
He is too weak on his own.
Zhou Ling's idea was that instead of estrangement from Zhou Chuan, it would be better to ease the tension and let Zhou Chuan help her come up with some ideas. Secondly, with Zhou Chuan around, she could save a lot of effort and wouldn't have to personally monitor Zhou Na.
In short, making up is more beneficial than harmful.
Neither the siblings brought up the past grievances again, as if they had returned to how things were at the beginning.
But both of them knew in their hearts that a rift had appeared, but for the moment, they were both thinking of using each other and did not expose it.
at the same time,
In a certain small town,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua returned to their real home.
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan asked them to find a way to get money, so the two of them quickly ran away that day. Not wanting to be exploited by the two, they bought train tickets and returned here.
"If we leave, all the efforts we've made before will probably be in vain."
Thinking about how their impression on Zhou Na had plummeted, Wang Xiuhua felt regretful that she might not be able to get any benefits from Zhou Na in the future.
"Let's not think about this for now. Do you think those two ungrateful wretches won't go to her for help?"
"If I'm not mistaken, those two bastards will definitely try to get money out of Zhou Na."
"Zhou Na was forced to help, which means she will be burdened with a debt of 200,000 yuan. If we stay in Yanjing, we will only be ripped off by them."
"Therefore, staying away from there is the best course of action."
Zhou Dana expressed his thoughts and insisted that this was a wise choice.
"Actually, there's something I've never understood. Zhou Na clearly took the initiative to treat us to meals, cut our nails, and pluck our gray hairs, as if she had accepted us. Why did she suddenly become cold?"
Wang Xiuhua continued.
Zhou Dana also couldn't understand this matter.
"Perhaps we said something wrong and upset that brat, or perhaps she's unhappy because of her studies or life. There are many possibilities, but whatever it is, we don't need to worry about it for now. After a while, I'll go to Yanjing to sound out the situation and then figure out a way to get her to accept us. The fact that she suddenly took the initiative to get closer to us means that our method was correct. We can just continue to do that in the future."
Zhou Dana didn't care much. Girls are fickle, that's normal. But no matter how fickle they are, he can still handle them, just like Sun Wukong, who can never escape the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain.
If we follow the same method, Zhou Na will eventually have to acknowledge them.
The only thing that needs to be spent is patience and time.
"Before we go to Yanjing to find her, we need to think of a good explanation. We must be able to convince her, otherwise, if those two bastards, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, say bad things about us, it will affect Zhou Na's approval of us."
Wang Xiuhua reminded her.
Zhou Dana smiled slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, I've already thought of what to say. I guarantee that Zhou Na won't hold a grudge about our sudden disappearance."
