Watching Zhou Chen's dashing departing figure,
It took Zhou Ling a while to come to her senses. She stomped her feet in anger and shouted:
"Zhou Chen, I'm calling you 'Big Brother' out of consideration for how good you've been to me in the past. You think I'm stupid?"
"You're the smartest one in our family. If your parents knew how you treated me, they would never forgive you."
"Originally, out of consideration for our sibling relationship, I didn't want to embarrass you. But you forced me into this situation, so don't blame me for making you lose face!"
Zhou Ling roared angrily at the air, a scene that drew frequent glances from many people entering and leaving the campus.
Although Zhao Kun was angry, he felt more ashamed. He put his arm around Zhou Ling's shoulder and, while walking away from the campus, comforted her, "Wife, it seems your brother is stubborn. Let's show him that we're not easy to bully. Let's go to the construction site this afternoon."
Zhou Ling nodded, her heart filled with nothing but anger towards Zhou Chen.
It's one thing for Zhou Chen not to want to give her the construction site canteen business, but to do that was to publicly call her an idiot and say she was stupid, making her a laughingstock for outsiders.
She would let those people on the construction site know how Zhou Chen treated her, and let those fellow workers see Zhou Chen's true colors.
Since the cafeteria won't cook for her, then nobody should cook for her.
Once those workers find out what you, Zhou Chen, have done, will they still eat the food you cook?
Zhou Ling was determined to vent her anger and make Zhou Chen regret it.
Just as Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun were about to go back to the construction site in the afternoon, they bumped into Zhou Na, who was walking to school with several classmates.
Upon seeing Zhou Na, Zhou Ling waved and greeted her from afar.
Seeing this, Zhou Na whispered a few words to her classmate, and then walked straight up to the two of them.
"Third brother, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to..."
Zhou Ling was about to say that she was looking for Zhou Chen, but she quickly swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, not wanting Zhou Na to know about it.
"Ahem... Second sister, Kun and I just happened to be passing by, and we didn't expect to run into you like this."
As Zhou Ling spoke, she pulled Zhao Kun over and introduced him, "Second sister, let me introduce you. This is Brother Kun, the man I told you about before, my true love, and the man who loves me the most in this world."
When talking about Zhao Kun, Zhou Ling's face showed a hint of pride, as if Zhao Kun were truly the most outstanding man.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun smugly touched his multicolored hair, then, thinking himself very handsome, tidied it up, covered one eye, forced a smile, and called out, "Second Sister, hello, I'm Zhao Kun."
Looking at Zhao Kun's striking hair, bright red fitted short-sleeved shirt, tight pants, and yellow loafers, it was truly a sight to behold.
It looks rather bizarre no matter how you look at it.
My sister actually likes this kind of man?
Zhou Na finally understood why Zhou Chen disagreed. Although she had previously proclaimed that pursuing happiness and being with the person you love is everyone's right, if she really had a choice, she would never choose someone like Zhao Kun.
However, since the words had already been spoken, there was no reason to take them back or object to Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun being together.
We can only respect Zhou Ling's choice.
Zhou Na nodded and gave Zhao Kun a brief greeting, but she had no intention of shaking hands or anything like that.
They didn't even want to stay with them for long, because classmates passing by would look in their direction and give them strange looks.
Zhou Na was a little worried that some people who knew her would mistake her for a bad student, which would affect her image and reputation.
So, wanting to escape, she immediately said to her enthusiastic third sister Zhou Ling, "Third sister, I still have a lot of homework to finish, I have to go back first, we'll talk about it later."
"Second sister, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Ling watched as Zhou Na left in a hurry after saying only a few words, and couldn't help but pout and complain.
But Zhou Na walked away very decisively, without pausing for long, as if she hadn't heard anything, and even quickened her pace.
"Honey, I have a feeling your sister has a problem with me."
Zhao Kun stared at Zhou Na's retreating figure and frowned as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling laughed and said, "Brother Kun, you're overthinking it. When I first said I wanted to be with you, my second sister was the first to agree. She said everyone has the right to pursue the person they like. My second sister is the best to me."
On the contrary, it was my eldest brother—no, it was Zhou Chen—who resolutely opposed it. Even when he eventually agreed, it was only reluctantly. He used the division of the family property as revenge against me, making me a sinner. He was the worst!
In the end, Zhou Ling snorted.
"Oh, if that's the case, then my second sister is indeed the best to you. No wonder she's such a good student. Her judgment and ideas are really good. She knows I'm someone you can entrust your life to. I should thank my second sister more in the future."
Zhao Kun was somewhat surprised that Zhou Na thought highly of him, which made him very happy.
“Besides my second sister, you also have to thank my fourth brother, who also supports us being together,” Zhou Ling added.
Zhao Kun nodded and said generously, "Don't worry, I'll remember their kindness. When I become successful in the future, I'll make sure they benefit from it. As for your older brother..."
"I don't have that older brother, he doesn't deserve it." Zhou Ling was furious and filled with hatred at the mention of Zhou Chen.
"Alright, don't be angry. Let's go to the construction site this afternoon and see what your brother decides then."
Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes. Zhou Chen's disapproval of his relationship with Zhou Ling clearly showed her contempt for him. Just now, she even called Zhou Ling an idiot in front of him. He had to get revenge for this.
He was determined to show Zhou Chen that he had real skills. Just because Zhou Chen was unemployed and a petty thug didn't mean he could look down on him. He would show Zhou Chen what it meant to be unreliable and to not judge a book by its cover.
Those who look down on him will eventually pay the price.
Zhou Chen thought that what he said at noon would be enough to dissuade Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun from wanting the construction site canteen, but he never expected that the two of them would go to the construction site and complain to the group of fellow workers about how cold and heartless he was.
"Uncle, you are my elder brother's mentor. Please judge for me. As his sister, I wanted to help him share the pressure and let him concentrate on his studies. Was I wrong?"
"Kun and I are perfectly capable of running the canteen at this construction site, but he absolutely refuses to let us cook. Can you believe he's such a good brother?"
"Uncle, you have to talk to him. My older brother bullies us because he thinks he's the eldest brother since our parents passed away."
In front of Xu Laoqi and the others, Zhou Ling tearfully complained.
She was trying to get all these people to stand on her side and put pressure on Zhou Chen together.
Zhou Ling was confident in this regard. She pretended to be pitiful, and being a young girl herself, she knew that these people wouldn't be heartless and wouldn't speak up for her.
If everyone sides with her, Zhou Chen will either have to fight to the death and no one can continue working, or he will have to give the construction site canteen business to her and Zhao Kun.
Zhou Chen didn't want to become the target of public criticism, so he had no choice but to nod and compromise.
