"Second sister, I didn't see him very clearly at the time."
"All I know is that he is very pale, not the color of white paper, but a kind of sickly paleness."
"Oh, by the way, he uses a wheelchair. Whether it's due to a leg problem or because he's recovering from surgery, we don't know."
When Zhou Chuan received a sudden phone call from Zhou Na asking what Li Xiaolong looked like, he was somewhat surprised and didn't know why Zhou Na was suddenly concerned about that guy.
Zhou Na was now certain that the person she had just seen was Li Xiaolong.
Her half-brother.
What does it mean that Li Xiaolong suddenly appeared and wanted to buy her business?
Zhou Na fell into deep thought.
"Second sister, why are you suddenly concerned about him? You're not going to acknowledge him as your brother, are you? We're the real siblings, he's just an outsider."
Zhou Chuan's voice pulled Zhou Na back to reality.
Zhou Na coughed, signaling Zhou Chuan not to overthink it; she just wanted to find out.
But Zhou Chuan, who has matured considerably, is not so easily fooled and doesn't quite believe this explanation. "Second Sister, you certainly wouldn't suddenly think of getting to know him. Has something happened? Did you see him?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Na's eyes. She hadn't expected Zhou Chuan to be so quick-witted now, actually guessing correctly. It was true that one learns from one's mistakes.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Na admitted, "That's right, I did see him just now. Because I wasn't sure if it was him, I asked you to verify my guess."
"Why did this kid suddenly come looking for you?"
Zhou Chuan was very surprised and quickly asked, because in Zhou Chuan's opinion, if Zhou Na and Li Xiaolong, the two children most valued by Zhou Haide, got along well, then he would have no chance at all, and would not even have the opportunity to reap the benefits.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. He was probably just curious about me. He took one look and then left."
Zhou Na sensed Zhou Chuan's urgency, but she didn't tell him the truth about Li Xiaolong's plan to buy the milk tea shop.
Because she wanted to be sure about one thing.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chuan felt uneasy because he was afraid that his worries would become a reality. He always felt that Zhou Na had not told him the truth.
But what could he do?
Since he was not valued by Zhou Haide, he had no cards to play.
This made Zhou Chuan feel depressed, and at the same time, it aroused a strong sense of jealousy and resentment.
He is also Zhou Haide's son, so why is he inferior to Li Xiaolong? You should know that he is Zhou Haide's first son. Zhou Haide actually played him for Li Xiaolong, showing no regard for their father-son relationship.
And Zhou Na.
Zhou Na was a daughter destined to marry out of the family, like water spilled from a cup, yet her status was actually higher than his. It was one thing for him to be inferior to Li Xiaolong, but he was even inferior to Zhou Na.
Zhou Chuan was truly furious, which intensified his hatred for Zhou Haide. He secretly vowed that if Zhou Haide ever gained power, he would make everyone pay.
Even if it was his own father, Zhou Haide, he wouldn't mind stepping on him.
Who told Zhou Haide to be so unrighteous first? Don't blame him for being unjust.
pity,
He doesn't have that ability yet.
"Should we tell Third Sister about this?"
"Right now, we are both at a huge disadvantage. It is hopeless for me to fight alone. Only by joining forces can we have a chance."
After much consideration, Zhou Chuan decided to call Zhou Ling to get to the bottom of things.
"Third sister, I think it's extremely disadvantageous for us that that person went to see second sister. If the two of them join forces, what chance do we have? Only if the two of them fight can we benefit from it."
Zhou Chuan weighed the pros and cons for Zhou Ling over the phone.
"Fourth brother, I think your worries are unnecessary. Although Zhou Na and I are currently at odds, I believe they will never get along. First of all, that guy is the one Zhou Haide values most. Would he care about Zhou Na? If he goes to see Zhou Na, he will most likely be to warn or remind her not to have any thoughts about fighting for the family property. Zhou Na hates him too much to even think about it."
"He must have sensed that Zhou Haide values Zhou Na more than us, and that Zhou Na poses a threat to him. Why didn't he come to see us? Because Zhou Haide doesn't value us, so he ignores our existence. So, Fourth Brother, you can rest assured, the two of them won't get close; they'll only be hostile."
Zhou Ling expressed her thoughts, which were equally reasonable and well-founded.
After listening, Zhou Chuan felt that Zhou Ling's words made more sense.
"Third sister, are we just going to do nothing?"
"Don't forget, we lost a kidney. Although it doesn't seem to be affected at the moment, it's still an organ. Who knows if there will be other effects in the future? Anyway, I can't swallow this. If you have any thoughts, Third Sister, you must communicate with me in time. We are the real allies because we are in the same boat."
Zhou Chuan spoke with sincerity, and Zhou Ling replied, "Fourth brother, you don't need to tell me this. I know it too. Right now, only the two of us siblings are truly on the same boat. Everyone else is an enemy, including Zhou Na."
"Third Sister is right."
After the siblings ended their call, Zhou Chuan believed he had achieved his goal: strengthening his alliance with Zhou Ling and reducing the conflict between Zhou Ling and Zhou Na.
at the same time,
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Na was secretly plotting something.
There were some things she didn't say to Zhou Chuan just now because she didn't want him to get there before her.
"This is a good opportunity to find out that person's true attitude towards Zhou Na."
"Fourth brother is too naive to think that he can let them fight and then benefit from it. What does Zhou Na have to fight against that guy? His advantages are several levels higher than Zhou Na's, and he can completely crush her."
"If we want to gain any benefit, we must start with him. The idea of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, doesn't apply to us."
Zhou Ling muttered to herself.
If Zhou Chuan heard these words, he would be greatly surprised, because he would never know that Zhou Ling's plan was to get close to Li Xiaolong.
Using her status as the older sister and savior, she tries to talk to Li Xiaolong in order to find an opportunity to gain benefits.
Yenching University, at the university gate.
A black sedan parked at the school gate attracted the attention of many students, because the car looked expensive and was something only the wealthy and powerful could afford.
Li Xiaolong remained seated in the car, ignoring the attention he received.
His eyes were only on the few words on the plaque of Yenching University.
He came here today for no other purpose than to see Zhou Chen.
As the owner of businesses such as Hope Network Technology, Secret Snow Ice Cream Milk Tea, and Pinchoufang Stinky Tofu, he was extremely curious about Zhou Chen.
Someone was so outstanding that even he felt slightly dazzled.
