Seeing that Zhou Na's tone was firm and there was no possibility of compromise, Zhou Dana immediately changed his tone, pretending to be joking, and glossed over the matter of adding money.
Zhou Na hung up the phone with a frosty expression.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were trying to get her to take more money, which was really pushing their luck. She was very unhappy about being manipulated like this.
She was thinking about how to stop Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua from bothering her and threatening her.
However, after thinking for a while,
She shook her head helplessly, truly at a loss with the two of them, since she had no leverage over them.
Um?
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, something occurred to Zhou Na. A flash of inspiration struck her. She didn't have any dirt on Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, but she could create it.
Once it's created, isn't that enough?
As for how to create it, Zhou Na thought of the methods Zhou Chen had used to deal with the Zhou family.
She could totally follow suit!
She recorded all her conversations with Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, and how these two would threaten her in the future.
At that time, she can produce evidence to show people the true colors of the two, or even show it directly to them, causing them to disappear on their own.
Zhou Na's eyes grew brighter and brighter; the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
It must be said that the trick I learned from Zhou Chen is truly ingenious, simple, and effective.
Back upstairs, after saying goodbye to Zhou Ling, Zhou Na decided to make thorough preparations before handing over the money to Zhou Da in person.
On the other end,
When the news of the failed attempt to raise the money reached Wang Xiuhua's ears, she hurled many harsh words at her. She stopped calling Zhou Na "little brat" and started calling her "little bitch."
“She goes to school and earns so much money, but she doesn’t share any of it with us. How can she possibly spend it all? That little bitch is just a miser.”
"It's alright, her money will be ours sooner or later. Let's just consider it as her showing us her money."
Zhou Dana wasn't particularly angry, because he had anticipated this outcome before deciding to increase the price.
Um?
At that moment, Zhou Dana received a text message on his phone.
"She sent it, saying she would change it to give us the money tomorrow."
After putting down his phone again, Zhou Dana explained the contents of Zhou Na's text message to Wang Xiuhua.
"Is she trying to stall on purpose?" Wang Xiuhua frowned.
Zhou Dana thought it was unlikely. "You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. Unless she doesn't want to study in Yanjing anymore, she'll have to use money to shut us up."
Wang Xiuhua nodded, then thought of something relatively distant: "If this little bitch graduates, will we still be able to get money from her?"
Zhou Dana wasn't worried at all and laughed, "Of course we can. Then we'll change our approach and use her connections with her colleagues to coerce her into agreeing. I think that might be even more effective than it is now."
“Old man, you’re amazing. You thought of this. This way, she’ll have to give us a portion of the money she earns for the rest of her life, and she can take care of us in our old age.”
"Besides her, the other two are completely unreliable."
"We should focus our energy on her."
Zhou Dana concluded.
Wang Xiuhua remained noncommittal, but the most promising and valuable one was undoubtedly Zhou Na; neither Zhou Ling nor Zhou Chuan could compare to Zhou Na alone.
Of course, the three sisters combined are no match for Zhou Chen; Zhou Chen is the most promising.
What a pity... what a pity...
Every time they think of Zhou Chen, the couple feels a pang of heartache. Zhou Chen is such a treasure trove, just a little bit away from them, where they could have enjoyed a life of luxury thanks to the three siblings. But alas...
The next day after school, Zhou Na arrived outside the school early and hid a rented video recording device in a tree, waiting for Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua to arrive.
Not long after,
When the 'fake parents' arrived, Zhou Na deliberately took out money, but instead of giving it away immediately, she said some things to guide their response.
Only after hearing the answer she wanted did Zhou Ling hand over the money.
"I feel like this little bitch is acting weird today, something just doesn't feel right."
Wang Xiuhua frowned.
Zhou Da didn't think much of it and thought Wang Xiuhua was overthinking it. He comforted her, saying, "This money is real. I can tell just by touching it. Don't worry, she won't dare to play any tricks. Besides, don't forget, although she doesn't acknowledge us, we are acting as her parents. If she dares to cause trouble, we'll go to her school and ruin her reputation. I believe she knows what's more important."
"Maybe it was that little brat Zhou Ling who called her and told her what happened between us, which made her even more unhappy since she already disliked us. But what can she do? She can't do anything. We're on the moral high ground, we're practically invincible..."
"What?"
"Never mind, at least nothing's wrong."
Zhou Dana couldn't remember for a moment, and waved his hand, too lazy to think about it. He got three hundred yuan for free today, enough for him and his wife to have a big meal. It's just a pity that if they want to have a good meal again, they'll have to wait a month for Zhou Na to give them money again.
That brat Zhou Na, hurry up and graduate, or find a job that pays better.
At that time, the couple will be able to ask for more money and improve their standard of living.
...
That afternoon, Zhou Ling arrived at the prison where Zhao Kun was located.
"Brother Kun..."
After completing the visitation procedures, she saw Zhao Kun through the glass and her eyes were filled with heartache.
"Brother Kun, what happened to your leg? You were walking strangely just now, are you hurt?"
Zhao Kun felt a tightness in one area, followed by a burning pain.
But how could he possibly tell Zhou Ling what happened in prison, let alone reveal the truth?
Otherwise, he would not only lose face in front of Zhou Ling, but Zhou Ling might also despise him.
"I'm fine."
Hearing Zhao Kun say this, Zhou Ling felt relieved. She then showed Zhao Kun the daughter she was carrying on her back and told him about how she had now gone to live with Zhou Na in Yanjing.
Before we knew it, visiting hours were over.
Zhou Ling felt she still had so much to say.
"Brother Kun, my daughter and I are waiting for you to come back. We will always be waiting for you."
With red eyes, Zhou Ling waved goodbye and watched Zhao Kun being taken away.
Back in his cell, Zhao Kun heard his fellow inmates teasing him and knew that Zhou Ling had come to visit him.
Slap! Slap!
Two slapping sounds on the bed made Zhao Kun instinctively tremble. He looked at the gaunt man, and under the man's meaningful gaze, he silently moved to a blind spot.
The skinny man chuckled and unbuckled his belt.
The others quickly moved to provide cover, all wearing wicked smiles.
A dozen minutes later,
Zhao Kun numbly put on his pants, the burning pain making every step he took extremely difficult.
