Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were dumbfounded!
They never expected that Zhou Na had secretly recorded their conversation about asking for money last time.
Including the conversation we just had.
In that case, can they still threaten Zhou Na?
With the recording, Zhou Na is not afraid of a fight to the death; on the contrary, the two of them may suffer contempt, criticism, accusations, and so on.
It’s over!
If they can't threaten Zhou Na, how can they continue to leech off her? Even if Zhou Na graduates from university, as long as the recording exists, they won't be able to succeed.
That damned wolf cub, how could she have thought of recording it?
Damn it!
Zhou Dana's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuhua immediately put on a smile and pretended to be a peacemaker, "Xiao Na, don't misunderstand. What your dad just said was just because he was angry. He didn't really want to go to your school. Please don't take it to heart. I apologize on your behalf."
Zhou Na remained unmoved. She stared at Zhou Dana and said, "Don't come to the school to find me again, and don't ask me for money. Otherwise, I will expose your remarks and let everyone know what kind of parents you are."
"No, no, no, daughter, we're all family. Your dad really didn't mean to threaten you. You're the one he cares about most. Don't be angry with him. We won't cause trouble at your school, don't worry."
Wang Xiuhua immediately explained that she did not want Zhou Na to expose the recording.
Because Zhou Na used the recording as her trump card, breaking their control, Wang Xiuhua, who couldn't think of a solution for the moment, knew that she couldn't escalate the conflict any further. So she immediately made an excuse and left with Zhou Dana.
Zhou Na watched the two walk away.
His face was serious, but after a moment, he let out a soft breath.
She felt incredibly relieved. This time, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua could no longer threaten her, and she no longer needed to give them money.
She severed ties with both Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling, as well as with her adoptive parents, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, ensuring they would no longer affect her.
She was completely free, without any burdens.
With a smile slowly appearing on her face, Zhou Na returned to school in a cheerful mood.
On the other end,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were not only heartbroken over losing 60,000 yuan, but also extremely frustrated by their failure to handle Zhou Na.
In their hearts, Zhou Na was a money bag, an ATM.
They could have used threats based on Zhou Na's interests to force her to compromise, but after Zhou Na recorded their conversations, these methods lost their effectiveness and instead became weapons against them.
"That ungrateful wretch, she actually secretly recorded the conversation. Who taught her that?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing right now is to think about what to do next. If we fall out with her, we can forget about getting any benefits from her in the future. We can't rely on those two good-for-nothings, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling."
Wang Xiuhua said with a helpless expression.
Zhou Dana fell silent.
Continuing to confront them head-on is definitely not going to work. Zhou Na has the recordings. If things blow up, they will be the ones who lose face.
Public opinion is unlikely to side with them, and their false identities may even be exposed.
"Since the hard approach doesn't work, we have to try the soft approach."
Zhou Dana sighed.
This is the only option left; the only way to continue playing the long game is to repair the relationship with Zhou Na as much as possible.
Wang Xiuhua nodded, agreeing that there was no other way.
"Don't show up for now. She probably doesn't want to see you. I'll apologize. I played the good cop before, so even if she's angry with me, she won't go too far."
Wang Xiuhua said in a deep voice.
She was somewhat relieved that the two of them had each played their roles well back then; otherwise, Zhou Na would definitely not have given her a friendly look. At least for now, she could still talk to Zhou Na.
“Indeed, you’re more suited to do this, but this brat is rude to you, so you might have to suffer a bit,” Zhou Dana reminded him.
Wang Xiuhua nodded: "I know. As long as I can get the money, what is this little grievance? I can endure it."
"Sigh, if we hadn't listened to those two idiots, we could have just left with that 60,000 yuan."
The thought of the milk powder confiscated by Uncle Hat, worth a full 60,000 yuan, still made Zhou Dana's heart bleed.
Speaking of this, Wang Xiuhua felt a deep sense of regret once again.
She was blinded by greed; if it weren't for her insistence, she wouldn't have stockpiled so much milk powder.
It's all the fault of those two idiots, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan. They have no business sense and tried to make investments. Not only did they ruin themselves, but they also dragged the other two down with them.
He's a complete jinx!
right,
She's a jinx; no wonder Old Mrs. Zhao dislikes Zhou Ling and they always get along. There's some truth to that.
Like Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling returned to their rented room with long faces. They had lost face and money today. They had initially planned to make money, but ended up losing everything.
"Third sister, your fourth brother will definitely earn back the money you lost. I can continue to work for Mr. Wu, and if I do well, he will reward me."
"As long as Mr. Wu is around, we won't go broke."
Zhou Chuan regained his fighting spirit. Now that he had powerful backers, what did investment failure matter? Failure is the mother of success, and perhaps next time he would succeed.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's eyes brightened a bit. Thinking of the generous and lavish General Manager Wu, her mood improved considerably.
"Then call Mr. Wu and ask him what he needs."
"We can't rely on Second Sister now, we can only rely on ourselves. We must hold on to President Wu, this cash cow."
Zhou Ling immediately urged Zhou Chuan to contact Wu Bin and make him happy. She said that if he let them have some money, they would be able to live a very comfortable life.
Zhou Chuan thought it made sense, and without delay, immediately dialed Wu Bin's number.
"Mr. Wu's phone is off!"
Hearing the notification tone on the other end of the phone, Zhou Chuan shook his head helplessly.
"Perhaps Mr. Wu is busy. Call again later."
Zhou Ling analyzed.
Zhou Chuan nodded slightly.
Just then,
Suddenly a text message came in.
Zhou Chuan frowned. Wasn't this Zhou Chen's phone number?
"Third sister, he texted me!"
Zhou Chuan quickly replied.
"I received it too."
Zhou Ling also turned on her phone and received a text message.
The siblings both frowned, sensing that Zhou Chen's initiative to send a text message couldn't be anything good.
"You'll know once you see it."
After Zhou Ling finished speaking, she opened the text message. Zhou Chuan did the same.
Upon reading the text message, both of them paled, their expressions changing tenfold, becoming ten times more unpleasant than when they had just returned. Simultaneously, gritting their teeth, they uttered a name they loathed: "Zhou...Chen..."
