When Zhou Ling suggested keeping Zhou Na from knowing that her father was a big boss...
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were both taken aback.
"Xiaoling, I'm afraid this won't work. We can't keep it from her. Even if we don't say anything, once Secretary Wang finds out about you, she'll follow the trail and find out about her."
"Don't forget, there's no shortage of news about you online."
"If Secretary Wang knew that we deliberately kept quiet and knew that your relationship as sisters wasn't harmonious, and that this got back to your father, what would he think? Are you willing to take that gamble?"
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua spoke up one after the other, explaining their reasons for believing that this approach was unacceptable.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. She really didn't want her father, Zhou Haide, to also acknowledge Zhou Na, because among the three siblings, Zhou Na was indeed far more outstanding than her and Zhou Chuan. If she were to become her father's favorite, the two of them might lose many benefits and opportunities.
But she had to admit that what Zhou Dana and his wife said made a lot of sense. If Secretary Wang just put in a little effort to search online, she could find a lot of information about the three siblings, and naturally, she would also know about Zhou Na herself.
She wanted to keep Zhou Na in the dark about the secretary her father had sent, but that was only temporary.
Sooner or later, Zhou Na will find out that when she does, speaking ill of her to her father will only backfire.
Despite her reluctance, Zhou Ling couldn't stop it.
After ending this topic,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua went back.
After the two left, Zhou Ling had a sudden thought and said to Zhou Chuan, "Fourth brother, we two have no advantage over Zhou Na, so we must stand on the same side to have any chance of fighting against her. You don't want her to take away our father's and mother's love, do you?"
Zhou Chuan scoffed at Zhou Ling's words. "You, Zhou Ling, have taken my money several times before, and now you're playing the family card. So you don't want to suffer any loss. Now you're scared, afraid that Zhou Na will threaten your position, and you've realized my role. Where were you before?"
What's the point of standing on the same side as you? You're more selfish than anyone else.
It would have been better if Zhou Ling hadn't brought it up; now that she had, it only made Zhou Chuan more annoyed, and at the same time, a thought began to form in his mind.
"Third sister, of course we're on the same side. Don't worry, I'll definitely stand by your side. We'll stand together through thick and thin."
Zhou Chuan verbally agreed, but Zhou Ling was unaware of his true thoughts.
Back in the bedroom,
Zhou Chuan sneered and muttered, "Zhou Ling, you only think of yourself when you have your benefits. You only remember my importance when you encounter problems. I have become your tool. You were the one who was ruthless first, so don't blame me for being unjust."
Having said that,
Zhou Chuan picked up his phone; it displayed Zhou Na's phone number.
Soon, a text message was sent.
at the same time,
Upon suddenly receiving a text message from Zhou Chuan, Zhou Na's expression flickered.
These past few days, Zhou Na's life has been like a stagnant pool, without any ripples. Apart from a few text messages from her roommates and classmates to greet her, no one else has sent her any messages.
Zhou Na never expected that Zhou Chuan, who was on the same side as Zhou Ling, would take the initiative to send her a text message.
Curious, Zhou Na opened the text message.
Soon, the words inside came into view, and after a quick glance, a look of surprise flashed in Zhou Na's eyes.
She was not surprised that her father, Zhou Haide, was a big boss in Hong Kong, but rather that Zhou Chuan told her about it, and that Zhou Ling didn't want her to know.
If Zhou Chuan hadn't said anything, she truly wouldn't have known that Zhou Ling was intentionally preventing him from recognizing Zhou Haide.
Third sister Zhou Ling is really ruthless.
She showed no mercy to her own second sister. Although she had said some harsh words and even severed ties, she would not have gone to such lengths as Zhou Ling, turning her back on her own family for her own benefit.
Thinking about what she had done for Zhou Ling, how she had gone in and out of the police station several times to bail Zhou Ling out, and the undeserved disasters she had suffered because of Zhou Ling, Zhou Na felt extremely heartbroken.
Fortunately, Zhou Chuan wasn't as cold-blooded as Zhou Ling. He proactively revealed the information to her, clearly indicating that he wasn't on Zhou Ling's side.
"I see."
Upon seeing Zhou Na's reply, Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes. Zhou Na's reaction was too calm; she didn't react strongly to such a big matter.
"As expected of the second sister, if it were Zhou Ling, she would have been asking all sorts of questions."
Zhou Chuan couldn't help but admire her, and at the same time became even more certain that it would be more beneficial than harmful to cultivate a good relationship with Zhou Na. With Zhou Ling's intelligence, Zhou Chuan believed that Zhou Ling would only lose if she tried to compete with Zhou Na. Once they recognized Zhou Haide, Zhou Na's intelligence and her status as a student at Yanli University would definitely be given more attention.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Zhou Haide does not discriminate against girls.
If Zhou Haide preferred boys, then his son would be an absolute darling, even more so than Zhou Na.
Zhou Chuan told Zhou Na about this simply to give himself an extra layer of insurance, so that no matter what happened, he, Zhou Chuan, would not lose out.
The next room,
Zhou Ling couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Her biological father was a rich man, a big boss. Her fantasy had come true.
"Unfortunately, Zhou Na will also be there to recognize her at that time."
“I hope my father will like me a little more. By the way, I have an advantage that Zhou Na doesn’t have: I have a daughter. My father will definitely like his granddaughter.”
Thinking of her daughter Zhao Xiaoya, Zhou Ling suddenly felt that this might be a trump card to win over her parents.
After all, grandparents and grandchildren are often closer.
Besides, Zhao Xiaoya is so cute, anyone would like her.
“Zhou Na, you are smart, you are a college student, but I have my daughter. That alone is enough to completely defeat you. What do you have to fight me with?”
Zhou Ling's face instantly filled with confidence.
At this moment, she didn't even care about Zhou Chen. She wanted to show off to Zhou Chen and let him know that she, Zhou Ling, was about to turn her life around and that he shouldn't even think about laughing at her anymore.
After thinking it over,
Zhou Ling couldn't resist and sent Zhou Chen a boastful text message.
Strictly speaking, it was a provocative text message.
"Are you pretending not to see it?"
"Or are you still ignoring me?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen did not respond as usual, Zhou Ling's face darkened. She was not surprised by this result, but she still felt a little annoyed.
“Zhou Chen, you won’t be arrogant for long. Once Secretary Wang arrives and we recognize our father, he will only need to do a little bit to make your business face all sorts of difficulties.”
“My dad is a boss in Hong Kong Island, which is the richest and most prosperous place in the world. You are just a small boss in the mainland. How can you compare to my dad?”
"It's no big deal if I bankrupt you or your business fails. It's just a matter of my dad saying a few words."
"You won't be so smug for long."
Zhou Ling muttered to herself, imagining the dramatic changes in her life after becoming a rich heiress. She was sure she could easily control Zhou Chen and avenge all her previous grievances.
