"I'm going too far? Zhou Na, do you want to hear what you're saying?!"
"You say you're spending your own money? Where did you get the money? Do you even have any money? How much do you earn as a tutor? Can you afford the clothes here? Don't be ridiculous. You're just pocketing the money netizens donated to our little girl's surgery. Stop making excuses for yourself."
Zhou Ling refused to back down. Why should she have to live by pretending to be a beggar and relying on other people's charity, while Zhou Na used the money donated by netizens for Xiao Ya's surgery to go on a shopping spree?
That's not fair!
She is determined to reclaim the property that belongs to her family.
Seeing this, the people around became interested and stopped shopping to watch the show, and the number of people gathering around them gradually increased.
As more and more people paid attention, Zhou Na became determined to make things clear today, completely disregarding the fact that she or Zhou Ling would lose face in front of everyone.
She decided to stop worrying and explained coldly, "Netizens donated a total of 5,832 yuan, and I didn't spend a single penny. Zhou Ling, I'm not as cold-hearted as you think. Don't judge me by your own petty standards. The money you owed the hospital before, the money you secretly left without settling your bill, I paid it off with the donations. Xiao Ya's heart disease and all the tests came from there. You have no right to question me."
"You should still do it. Those were donations from netizens to Xiaoya. Besides, how can you say you spent it all? It's just empty talk. Who knows if you secretly kept some? Otherwise, tell me, where did you get the money to buy so many things?"
Zhou Ling argued her case based on reason.
For the first time, Zhou Na experienced Zhou Ling's unreasonable and melodramatic behavior, a feeling that was very infuriating.
"I don't need to explain to you where I got the money."
She naturally couldn't tell Zhou Ling about the money she got from Zhou Dana.
Her statement that she couldn't say emboldened Zhou Ling, who became convinced that Zhou Na was lying.
“Listen to this, everyone. She started a fundraising campaign online in my daughter's name. People donated, but I haven't seen a single penny. Now when I ask her where the money went, she says there's no need to explain. You be the judge, does anyone believe that?”
Zhou Ling directly used the surrounding onlookers to support herself.
Immediately, many people present spoke up for Zhou Ling, believing that Zhou Na's words were indeed untenable.
Seeing that many people were being swayed, Zhou Na felt even more frustrated and angry, because she knew that the money donated by netizens had indeed been spent on Zhao Xiaoya, but Zhou Ling insisted that she was the one who spent the money, which was simply unreasonable.
"Even if I believe what you're saying is true, that you didn't spend a single penny on my daughter's surgery, then tell me, where did you get the money to buy these things? If you can convince me, then I'll believe you."
Zhou Ling spoke again.
The onlookers thought it made sense and nodded in agreement, believing that if Zhou Na wasn't lying, she could explain the source of the money.
"Are you not saying anything because there's something you're ashamed of?"
"Or is it that you can't find a better excuse?"
"How about I find you someone? How about you become someone's mistress? I heard that being a mistress is very lucrative. If you can just give me that reason, I'll believe you didn't spend any of the donations."
Zhou Ling chuckled.
Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, many of the people present exchanged glances, realizing that there was some truth to it.
"These days, young girls, of all things, why do they become mistresses?"
"With such a lack of self-respect and purity, which husband's family would want her in the future?"
"You're a disgrace to us women!"
The women watching at the scene whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Zhou Na turning contemptuous and disdainful.
Hearing these words, Zhou Ling felt smug, as if she had gotten revenge for being scolded by Zhou Na at the hospital.
At that time, Zhou Na had a perfectly valid point, leaving her speechless.
As it turns out, there were some things she didn't know. Now, having cornered Zhou Na in the mall and exposed her true colors, Zhou Ling felt very satisfied.
Why do you, Zhou Na, criticize me and say I'm not fit to be a mother? You, Zhou Na, aren't even fit to be a human being.
You should explain where the money for buying these things came from.
It's hard to say. Either she was someone's mistress, or she spent the donations from netizens.
You, Zhou Na, are so arrogant. Behind my back, you're even worse than me, Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling felt a sense of relief.
Just as Zhou Ling was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks to vent her frustration, she suddenly saw Zhou Na rush in front of her, and the next second, she heard a loud slap.
Zhou Ling touched her burning cheeks.
She was actually slapped by Zhou Na.
"You dare hit me!"
After regaining her senses, Zhou Ling glared angrily.
"I hit you because you spew filth from your mouth."
"I hit you because you deserved it."
"I hit you because you deserved it."
Zhou Na was genuinely angry. Zhou Ling had actually spread rumors to her face that she was someone else's mistress, causing her to suffer misunderstandings from onlookers.
Although she is not a celebrity, what girl doesn't care about her reputation, especially when it comes to relationships? Even if no one present knew her, she didn't want to be seen as a mistress.
The person who publicly smeared her was actually her own sister.
"You were being bullied, and I stood up for you."
"You have nowhere to go, so I'm the one who's taking you in."
"You didn't have money for food, so I'm the one who's helping you fill your stomach."
"You've been to jail time and time again, and I'm the one who got you out."
“Your daughter is sick, and you just disappear, leaving her to me. I’m the one who has to find a way to raise money for her surgery.”
“Zhou Ling, I am your own sister. I, Zhou Na, have never done anything to wrong you. How can you treat me like this?”
Zhou Na's eyes reddened, and she spoke her mind in front of everyone.
Those who initially thought Zhou Na was immoral and not a good girl fell silent upon hearing about these other things.
Zhou Na had helped Zhou Ling so much.
If this is true, Zhou Ling really shouldn't have said that. After all, they are sisters; how could she slander her closest relative like that?
In an instant,
Public opinion has shifted.
Zhou Ling felt the unfriendly looks from the onlookers. She stammered, "You have helped me a lot, but that doesn't change the fact that you spent my daughter's surgery money. Stop trying to downplay it. Explain clearly where the money for buying things came from. If you don't explain, my guess will be right."
"Incomprehensible, you're a complete madman."
Zhou Na didn't want to get entangled with a scoundrel like Zhou Ling, so she threw down those words, turned around and left. The onlookers all made way for her.
Why are you running?
"If you don't explain, it's a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth."
Zhou Ling shouted her questions at Zhou Na's retreating figure.
This scene was filmed by some onlookers.
