A car was parked at the school gate. It wasn't a luxury car, but passing students would instinctively glance at it.
Someone immediately recognized Zhou Ling.
I remember that ingrate who apologized in front of the entire school.
The son who spread rumors and smeared his adoptive parents now has the nerve to swagger around at the school gate?
In an instant, surprise turned into disdain.
The strange looks she received made Zhou Ling suddenly realize that things were not quite as she had expected. Why weren't these people envious of her?
I felt an increasing amount of disdain and contempt coming my way.
Zhou Ling could no longer laugh. She came to show off, not to humiliate herself. However, based on the impact of her previous smear campaign against Zhou Chen, many people believed that Zhou Ling was an ungrateful person.
Few people envied her; many, however, were eager to see her make a fool of herself.
This left Zhou Ling both angry and helpless.
"Honey, don't worry about it. They're just laughing at you on the surface, but they're actually more jealous than anyone else. In this day and age, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution. If we have money, people will look up to us. Don't worry, we're driving here today. The classmates who mocked you before will all contact you after they see us."
Zhao Kun offered words of comfort.
These words gave Zhou Ling a jolt. Yes, why should she care about the opinions of strangers? These days, money talks. These high school students who haven't even left school don't understand at all. They're just a bunch of ignorant teenagers.
In an instant, Zhou Ling changed her mindset. She no longer cared about the gazes of these people. Her family now had 30,000 yuan in savings and a car behind them. How many people could compare to them?
Do you have the right to look down on her and despise her?
Zhou Ling's face was once again filled with pride.
The two waited for a while, but Zhou Chen still didn't come out, which disappointed them. They had driven here specifically to show off, and if Zhou Chen didn't appear, it would be a complete waste.
However, although they didn't see Zhou Chen, they did see Zhou Na.
"Second Sister!"
Zhou Ling quickly waved to Zhou Na to greet her.
Zhou Na seemed not to hear her and quickened her pace, but as Zhou Ling shouted louder and caught up with her, attracting more attention, Zhou Na had no choice but to stop.
"Second sister, I called you, why didn't you hear me?"
Zhou Ling, who caught up, complained.
What are you doing here?
Zhou Na remained expressionless. She didn't want to interact with Zhou Ling in public because Zhou Ling had implicated her, causing her to be isolated by her classmates and gossiped about. Being with Zhou Ling would only lead to more misunderstandings. She had been involved in the previous smear campaign against Zhou Chen, making her an ungrateful wretch.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling kept calling her name and even chased after her.
"Second sister, I'm sorry..."
Noticing Zhou Na's indifference, Zhou Ling felt guilty because she hadn't listened to Zhou Na and had insisted on smearing Zhou Chen, causing Zhou Na to be implicated. Zhou Ling knew that Zhou Na, who was at school, had suffered injustices that she shouldn't have had to bear.
"Second sister, I know I was wrong about what happened before. Please don't be angry with me. I'll treat you to a meal and apologize to you, okay?"
Zhou Ling forced a smile, hoping to gain Zhou Na's forgiveness.
"No need, I'm very busy."
Zhou Na felt the attention she was receiving and just wanted to leave as soon as possible; she didn't want anyone to see her with Zhou Ling.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. If you need to find me later, just call me directly. Don't come to the school."
Zhou Na said this and walked away.
"Second sister, wait a minute."
Zhou Ling paused for a second, then caught up again and blocked Zhou Na's path.
"Second sister, Brother Kun has made something of himself. A couple of days ago, he brought me back 30,000 yuan. Not only that, we now have a car, right here."
Having witnessed such a dramatic change in her own home, Zhou Ling naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to show off in front of Zhou Na, so she pointed to the black sedan parked not far away.
Zhao Kun, who was originally leaning against the front of the car, saw this and knew it was his time to shine. He quickly turned around, got into the car, and started the engine.
Zhou Na initially didn't believe it, but when she saw Zhao Kunzhen drive up, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"Second sister, get in the car. I'll have Brother Kun take you for a spin around."
Seeing the change in Zhou Na's expression, Zhou Ling felt a surge of pride. She clearly saw that her second sister, Zhou Na, was startled.
"No need, I need to go back and study."
"Let's keep in touch by phone later."
The shock lasted only a moment; Zhou Na's face regained its composure, and after speaking, she turned and left.
Regardless of whether the car truly belonged to Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun, it was none of Zhou Na's business. Zhou Na's goal was clear: to maintain her position as the top student in the entire school, get into her ideal university, and make a name for herself.
Watching Zhou Na walk towards the dormitory,
The smile disappeared from Zhou Ling's face; she knew Zhou Na was still angry with her.
"My sister-in-law's anger is only temporary; she'll be fine after a while."
"My sister-in-law is probably really busy. It's not easy to keep her in the top few in the whole school. Honey, let's give her some more time. You're sisters, there's nothing you can't overcome."
Zhao Kun offered words of comfort again.
Zhou Ling nodded, forcing a smile again. Zhao Kun was right; she and Zhou Na were sisters, unlike her and Zhou Chen, who were not related by blood. Zhou Chen could be so cold and ruthless, but Zhou Na wouldn't. They had a blood bond, and it was indeed her fault that caused Zhou Na to be affected. It was normal for Zhou Na not to want to see her for the time being.
Once you understand this, everything becomes clear.
“Let’s go back to the school gate and continue to ambush Zhou Chen. That’s the real reason we came here.”
Zhao Kun said leisurely.
Zhou Ling's expression flashed. That's right, the key point of this trip was to let Zhou Chen see their car and know that they were doing well.
The thought of Zhou Chen's expression when he saw them drive up made Zhou Ling even more impatient.
The two immediately turned around and prepared to return to their original position.
Just after Zhao Kun turned the car around,
Suddenly, a brand-new red car was spotted slowly stopping at the school gate.
"Brother Kun, what kind of car is this? It looks so beautiful."
Zhou Ling noticed that the red sedan that suddenly appeared looked very high-end and was obviously not cheap; it must have been much more expensive than their sedan.
"That's an Audi, it looks like it costs around 500,000 or 600,000."
So expensive?
Zhou Ling's mouth dropped open. In her opinion, the car they were driving now, costing just over 200,000 yuan, was already very expensive. However, that red Audi could buy three of them, and they would still be brand new.
"It must be a boss coming to pick up the child."
Zhao Kun's eyes showed envy. He clearly remembered that Brother Hu's car was the same brand, only the color was different.
"I never imagined that there would be such wealthy parents at a high school. If only we could drive an Audi someday, Brother Kun. It would be so comfortable to sit in such an expensive car," Zhou Ling said, clicking her tongue as she couldn't help but fantasize about the future.
Upon hearing this, a glint of ambition flashed in Zhao Kun's eyes. He was about to speak when...
But in the next second, his expression suddenly froze.
Because he saw Zhou Chen come out of the campus, walk to the Audi, open the door, and get in.
