The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Zhou Chuan knew that the other party had a grudge against Zhou Chen, and yet he took the initiative to approach him. This must mean that he wanted to join forces with him, or even use him to deal with Zhou Chen.
but,
Does he mind being used as a tool?
Of course I don't mind. As long as Zhou Chen suffers, so what if I'm being used? Besides, this mysterious person is so generous. Helping him will definitely bring me benefits.
What's there for a grown man to be afraid of?
In an instant, Zhou Chuan had a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind, considering all the pros and cons. He felt that this might be his true luck, and that his benefactor had arrived.
With this person's help, he might actually be able to turn things around.
"I'll go with you."
Zhou Chuan's eyes hardened, and he tore the train ticket to shreds.
The man witnessed this and nodded, saying, "You did a great job. Believe me, this is the best decision you've ever made."
Zhou Chuan followed the man and left.
Upon arriving at the train station and seeing the luxurious business car, Zhou Chuan became even more certain that the boss who had approached him was definitely a wealthy man.
I just don't know what grudge he has against Zhou Chen.
But whatever the grudge, it's a good thing for him; otherwise, how could he benefit from it?
Zhou Chuan was somewhat looking forward to meeting this mysterious boss.
...
A restaurant.
After leaving the train station, Zhou Ling took her daughter Zhao Xiaoya by taxi to find Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.
Then she shared her thoughts and persuaded Zhou Dana to call his friend who was abroad and ask him to give her some more money. As for the reason, she had already thought of one: Zhou Dana was sick and urgently needed money.
When Zhou Dana heard that he was using his illness as an excuse, a string of black lines appeared on his forehead.
Even if you have a reason, you can't curse him.
That brat will stop at nothing for money.
Unfortunately, even if he were sick or dying, he couldn't get a single penny, because that person was a fabricated character created by the couple to fool Zhou Ling.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling set her sights on that person; she really has a lot of clever ideas.
“Xiaoling, what we’re doing is lying. Your mother and I have already sworn that we will never lie again. Aren’t you making us break our vow?”
Zhou Dana immediately offered a reasonable reason to reject Zhou Ling's proposal.
Asking him to ask a fictitious person for money is a miracle. Unless it's the person who proactively transferred 100,000 yuan, there's a chance. But the problem is, he doesn't even know who transferred the money, and he can't even contact them.
Therefore, there's no point in even thinking about it. The only thing the couple can do is to oppose it to the end and not do what Zhou Ling says. Otherwise, their previous lies will be exposed.
“Yes, Xiaoling, your father and I have felt ashamed and guilty about what happened before, so we made a solemn vow that we will never tell a lie again in this life, or we will be struck by lightning. We cannot break our vow,” Wang Xiuhua chimed in from the side.
Listening to their righteous words, Zhou Ling was speechless. She thought to herself, "When you lied to me, you weren't like this at all. You wouldn't even answer my calls and would just disappear. Now that I need you, you're telling me this?"
So what if you swear an oath!
God really can send down lightning!
"Mom and Dad, you did this for me. I believe God won't blame you. You wouldn't want to see your daughter not eating well or dressing well every day, would you? Even if you don't care about me, you should care about your granddaughter, right?"
"Just consider it as you feeling sorry for your granddaughter. Give that person a call. If you do as I say, he will definitely continue to send money to our family. It's easy to make money abroad, much more than in China. For him, the money he gives us is just a small amount, nothing more. Besides, you helped him before, so it's only right that they give you some money to repay your kindness."
Zhou Ling continued to persuade her.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were exasperated by Zhou Ling's insistence. The couple exchanged a glance and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Okay, since you put it that way, Xiaoling, I'll go all out and call him."
Zhou Dana suddenly sighed and said with a serious expression.
Um?
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhua's expression froze. She quickly gave him a meaningful look, thinking that Zhou Dana had gone mad. How could they agree to this? Where could they possibly contact such a person?
Zhou Dana gave a subtle look, and Wang Xiuhua paused for a moment before regaining her composure.
“Honey, give me Brother Liu’s phone number, I’ll call him.”
"Brother Liu's phone?"
"Yeah, what are you waiting for?"
Zhou Dana continued to wink, and Wang Xiuhua instantly understood. She then pretended to rummage through her pockets, and after searching through them all, she suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, I've lost the phone number!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dana secretly gave Wang Xiuhua a thumbs up.
But on his face, he put on a great show, cursing Wang Xiuhua: "You good-for-nothing! I entrusted you with this exposure and gave you countless instructions, how could you lose it?"
"I...I...I must have been doing laundry and forgot about it, so..."
Wang Xiuhua continued to cooperate, working in tandem with Zhou Dana.
Zhou Ling didn't know the two were acting and thought it was real. Seeing that she had no way to contact them and the other party was abroad, it was even more impossible to get in touch.
"Mom, how could you... how could you be so careless? You've really ruined my life!"
Zhou Ling directed all her resentment at Wang Xiuhua.
"Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I..." Wang Xiuhua pretended to be remorseful, hesitating to speak, her acting extremely realistic.
Zhou Ling, who had hoped to get more money from the person who had given her the money, was greatly disappointed. She had no desire to stay any longer and made up an excuse to leave.
"That plague god is finally gone!"
"Luckily, I'm smart enough to fool her completely."
Wang Xiuhua's face revealed her true colors, and she let out a cold snort.
"If she loses her contact information, she should give up on the idea and won't pay attention to it again."
Zhou Dana said.
"Look at these three troublesome guys in your older brother's family. First, it was that bastard Zhou Chuan who asked us for money, and now it's that ingrate Zhou Ling who also has the nerve to ask us for money. It's so annoying."
Wang Xiuhua couldn't help but complain that it would be better if it weren't for Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, those two vampires, who were making their lives so uneasy.
"Let's bear with it. Besides, that brat said that Zhou Chuan has already left Yanjing, so we don't need to worry too much."
Zhou Dana's words made Wang Xiuhua feel much better.
Yes, with one less vampire, they won't have to keep being sucked blood.
However, little did they know that Zhou Chuan had not left at all, and would soon reappear before them.
...
Happy Dragon Boat Festival, my darlings!
