"Tsk tsk, isn't this my heartless older brother? Thanks to you, I was locked up in the detention center for seven whole days."
Do you know how I spent those seven days?
Upon seeing Zhou Chen, Zhou Chuan's anger flared up immediately, and he made no attempt to hide his fury.
Upon hearing this,
Students passing by stopped to watch the spectacle.
Zhou Chen, a star student at school, was originally the envy and role model of everyone, but her reputation plummeted after the 'text message' incident.
Many people believed it to be true, and upon hearing Zhou Chuan's words, they realized that Zhou Chuan was the tragic younger brother who had been locked up in the police station.
“I know him.”
"He is Zhou Chuan, his younger brother."
Some of the onlookers recognized Zhou Chuan, which quickly attracted a larger crowd.
Zhou Chuan never expected that he would come here to see Zhou Chen make a fool of himself. As a result, he attracted so many people to watch after saying just a few words.
This surprised him more than pleased, because he felt that it seemed he could make Zhou Chen look even more foolish and lose even more face.
"Zhou Chen, you're siding with outsiders and bullying me. Don't you have a conscience?"
"I've called you 'Big Brother' for so many years, how can you be so heartless?"
As soon as Zhou Chuan spoke, he confirmed the contents of the text message, making everyone believe that what was said in the text message was true.
The situation at the scene did indeed develop in the direction Zhou Chuan had envisioned.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people started discussing it, and their gazes towards Zhou Chen became even more contemptuous, disgusted, and disdainful.
"Helping outsiders instead of your own people is betrayal."
"Some people are good at disguising themselves. They always present a good image in front of outsiders, but only when facing their family and relatives will they show their true, ugly faces."
"This kind of person is terrifying; they say one thing to people and another behind their backs."
Immediately, undisguised comments and accusations against Zhou Chen rang out from all around.
Seeing this, Zhou Chuan felt secretly delighted.
Zhou Chen caused him to go to jail, so he's going to let Zhou Chen experience what it feels like to be disliked by others. After today's incident, Zhou Chen will definitely be hated by everyone at school.
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun, who were standing to the side, were both pleasantly surprised by what they saw, and a strange light flashed in their eyes.
Suddenly, Zhou Ling had a thought and decided to add fuel to the fire. She immediately stood next to Zhou Chuan and put on a pitiful look. "Big brother, can you give me a way out? I admit that I can't make stinky tofu as well as you, but you can't let someone steal my business. I'm no longer selling at the night market. I'm begging you, please let me earn some money for baby formula for the baby in my belly. Please!"
Whoosh...
After Zhou Ling finished speaking, the onlookers were all in an uproar.
The gazes directed at Zhou Chen were filled with anger. How could there be such a heartless older brother in the world, so cold and ruthless to his younger brother, and even more so to his younger sister, stealing her business and bullying her to set up a stall elsewhere? He was simply inhuman.
"Hey, that's going too far! Is this how an older brother should act?"
"Do you have a grudge against your younger brother and sister? Treating them like this, bullying honest people."
"How could a high school have a student like you? You don't deserve to be on the school team at all."
If Zhou Chuan ignited the emotions of those around him, Zhou Ling's words undoubtedly detonated those emotions, creating a nuclear explosion-like force that made Zhou Chen the target of everyone's anger.
Zhou Chen seemed to have incurred public wrath.
A barrage of reprimands and insults came pouring in.
Zhou Ling, the instigator, maintained a pitiful expression, feigning vulnerability, but in reality, she was ecstatic. If no one else were around, she would have burst into laughter.
Never before have I felt so good.
Sure enough, it was most satisfying to vent one's anger in front of Zhou Chen. From then on, Zhou Chen would be a rat crossing the street at No. 1 High School, hated by everyone.
Zhou Chuan and Zhao Kun share the same mentality: the more people criticize and condemn Zhou Chen, the happier they are.
Looking at the high school students around him who were being incited and unaware of the situation, criticizing and accusing him, Zhou Chen felt only sorrow.
As students who should be able to think independently, they are so easily fooled and believe it to be true without ever checking whether it is true or not. Most importantly, the people they believe are Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling.
What are these two things?
However, Zhou Chen had to admit that he had underestimated these two ingrates, especially Zhou Ling, who put on a pitiful act, adopting a victim persona to gain sympathy and trust. It's a real pity she's not an actress; the film industry owes her an Oscar.
When it comes to distorting the truth, spreading rumors, and fabricating stories, it has to be you, Zhou Ling. Moreover, you're no longer just a hopeless romantic; sometimes, you have a brain and know how to add fuel to the fire.
If it were Zhou Chen in his previous life, facing this situation, he might have silently accepted all the blame, then gone back to lick his wounds, becoming a great victim and a complete idiot.
However,
Zhou Ling, aren't you getting too cocky and self-important? You think you can play the victim and influence some brainless students to completely ruin Zhou Chen's reputation?
Zhou Chen could only say that this was wishful thinking!
Just as Zhou Chen's eyes were flashing, and he was about to end this farce, Zhou Ling suddenly saw Zhou Na standing at the edge of the crowd and called out loudly, "Second Sister!"
"Second sister..."
“Zhou Na…”
Zhou Na, who was about to leave, could no longer go after hearing Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling calling her by her name, because some people she knew were looking at her.
With nowhere to escape, Zhou Na had no choice but to turn around and stand in front of the crowd with a blank expression.
"Now, you all go back immediately."
Zhou Na's expression was slightly serious as she spoke stiffly.
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were not about to give up this opportunity easily. They also wanted Zhou Na to stand with them and jointly attack Zhou Chen, making it impossible for Zhou Chen to stay at school.
To their surprise, Zhou Na told them to leave.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get revenge on Zhou Chen—how could they possibly miss it?
"Second sister, he treated us so badly, why are you telling us to leave? We will never leave."
“Tell everyone just how outrageous Zhou Chen is. He’s practically riding roughshod over us. Are you still going to put up with this?”
Zhou Ling adopted a stance that was determined to thoroughly humiliate Zhou Chen.
Zhou Na was furious with her incredibly stupid younger sister. In her opinion, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan's actions were just provoking Zhou Chen. She had originally wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anything and minimize the possibility of it affecting her, but the two idiots called out her name, leaving her nowhere to hide.
That's it, they've wiped them all out!
She could foresee that next, it wouldn't be Zhou Chen who would be publicly executed, but rather the three siblings who would be put on the hot seat.
And these two idiots are completely unaware of their own ignorance.
