After Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun came out of the hotel
Both of them had mixed feelings, because before they came, neither of them had imagined that the person who would help them take revenge would be Li Xiaolong.
Moreover, they reached a cooperation agreement.
Li Xiaolong offered so much that it was hard to refuse.
"Brother Kun, I just took it upon myself to agree to cooperate with him. You won't blame me for not asking for your opinion, will you?"
“I respect your choice. I was just surprised that you could put aside past grievances and accept his advances.”
Zhao Kun spoke from the bottom of his heart. At the time, he thought that Zhou Ling's hatred for Li Xiaolong would be hard to resolve. After all, a kidney had been transplanted to Li Xiaolong in a muddled way. Anyone would find it hard to be at peace with the other party.
“Brother Kun, actually, I haven’t let go, but I understand that acting on impulse is useless. Securing the greatest benefit is the most important thing. So, I need to be sincere with him. Otherwise, how could we have suddenly gotten 200,000 for free? You can’t turn down money.”
Zhou Ling explained earnestly, and at that moment, a rare look of wisdom appeared in her eyes. Zhao Kun was stunned and thought to himself, "Is this still the same simple-minded Zhou Ling?"
Actually, it wasn't that Zhou Ling suddenly had an epiphany, but rather that she felt Li Xiaolong owed her something. Since she couldn't get her kidney back, she wanted Li Xiaolong to compensate her in other ways.
If you get angry and leave, you'll end up with nothing.
“Wife, you’re right. Zhou Haide only gave you a mere 700,000 yuan, which is far from enough to make up for your losses. Since Li Xiaolong has come to us of his own accord, we must fleece him.”
As Zhao Kun spoke, he was mentally calculating how much money his family had. Including the money he had taken from Zhou Haide, the total came to over a million yuan.
Zhou Ling was unaware that Zhao Kun had been eyeing the money in her bank account, and even less aware that Zhao Kun now had the idea of becoming a woman completely.
“He used me as a tool to deal with Zhou Chen, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind being used, as long as I get enough benefits. If I can’t get it from Zhou Haide, I will find a way to get it from him.”
Zhao Kun was surprised that Zhou Ling knew him so well, and that she knew Li Xiaolong was using them.
When did Zhou Ling become so clever, knowing how to feign compliance and exploit others?
Zhao Kun felt a chill run down his spine. He knew he had to be careful and not be careless. If Zhou Ling used her intelligence on him, and his rented apartment in the next neighborhood was exposed, his secret would be revealed, and he would be finished.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun forced a smile and said, "Wife, you did the right thing. He's using us, so we'll use him too. We can get benefits and cause trouble for Zhou Chen at the same time. It's killing two birds with one stone."
Zhou Ling nodded; she thought so too.
Now that she has the leverage to oppose Zhou Chen, Zhou Ling is in a good mood. Not to mention, she also got 200,000 yuan from Li Xiaolong, money that Zhou Chuan didn't get a share of.
Originally, Li Xiaolong suggested bringing Zhou Chuan in, but Zhou Ling refused, persuading Li Xiaolong by saying that Zhou Chuan hated Li Xiaolong to death.
Zhou Ling believed she had handled the matter exceptionally well.
"Fourth brother, don't blame me. Blame yourself for competing with me for favor back then. If it weren't for you, how could I have signed the consent form for the organ transplant so quickly? Besides, with you involved, I'll get less of the benefits. You have 700,000 in savings now, which is enough for you to spend. Leave the matter of getting revenge on Zhou Chen to me. After all, I'm your third sister, and I have to take care of you."
Zhou Ling muttered to herself, a hint of revenge flashing in her eyes.
On the other end,
Zhou Chuan told Zhou Na that Zhou Chen owned a game company and had created the most popular game at the time.
"Achoo..."
As they were talking, Zhou Chuan sneezed, apparently because someone was talking about him.
"Second sister, I told you as soon as I heard the news. If you have any information in the future, please don't forget your fourth brother."
Zhou Chuan placed bets on both sides, making every effort to show his high regard for Zhou Na.
Actually, his underlying meaning was that if Zhou Na received any benefits from Zhou Haide, she should think of him.
Zhou Chuan knew that he had basically no chance with Zhou Haide; the latter didn't treat him like a son, only caring about Li Xiaolong.
Of the three siblings, Zhou Na was the one Zhou Haide seemed to value the most.
Zhou Na was more likely to get benefits from Zhou Haide than he and Zhou Ling were.
Therefore, Zhou Chuan kept betting on Zhou Na. Although he also bet on Zhou Ling, it was a small amount. Zhou Ling was basically the same as him and didn't get any advantage. In the future, he would still have to rely on Zhou Na.
"By the way, Second Sister, Third Sister keeps telling me not to contact you and to stay away from you, saying that you are selfish. I told her off. We are siblings, how could she say such a thing about you? Second Sister, do you think I don't know you? She has dragged you into trouble time and time again, and then she blames you. Isn't that turning black into white? If I didn't see that, I would be a fool."
"Fourth brother, is that really what you think?"
When Zhou Na suddenly asked this question, Zhou Chuan knew that his attempt to sow discord had worked well, and he had won Zhou Na's heart.
"Of course, she has spoken ill of you, Second Sister, more than once. I tried to persuade her at first, but she was fixated on you, Second Sister, so in the end, I gave up. But Second Sister, please don't sell me out, and don't tell Third Sister that I said these things."
Zhou Chuan feigned concern.
“I won’t tell you, Fourth Brother. I’ll remember everything you’ve told me.”
After receiving confirmation, Zhou Chuan made an excuse and hung up the phone.
"Third sister, please don't blame me,"
“My second sister is destined to have a better future than you, so naturally I will stand more on her side.”
After today's phone call, Zhou Chuan was confident that Zhou Na's trust in him, her fourth brother, had greatly increased. From now on, there would be absolutely no problem with Zhou Na eating meat and him drinking soup along with her.
If it were Zhou Ling, he wouldn't even get a sip of soup.
The goal of deepening the sibling relationship with Zhou Na has been achieved.
Zhou Chuan was in a great mood.
But when he thought about his Dungeon Fighter Online account, which he had been playing for so long, leveling up to so many levels and spending a lot of money on equipment, and now he just wanted to give it up, it really hurt his heart.
Moreover, this game is so fun that he's completely engrossed in it and can't tear himself away.
But it just so happens to be Zhou Chen's work.
Given the hatred between him and Zhou Chen,
How could he continue playing Zhou Chen's games and supporting Zhou Chen?
Zhou Chuan looked conflicted, and for a moment he was caught in the agonizing decision of abandoning his account.
Zhou Na, who had just ended the call and entered the classroom for class, was also in a bad mood and had no interest in listening to the lesson.
Zhou Chen owns a game company. She wasn't particularly envious or jealous; at most, she was surprised that Zhou Chen also had a hidden company and was doing so much.
What bothered her even more were Zhou Chuan's words.
It turns out that Zhou Ling had been talking about her behind her back, not only expressing many grievances against her, but also instigating Zhou Chuan to isolate her.
