This is outrageous!
Zhou Chen made sarcastic remarks, pointing out that their hoarding of milk powder had become a laughing stock.
This is blatant mockery, rubbing salt into their wounds.
"Third sister, he's deliberately trying to disgust us!"
“He did it on purpose; he was laughing at us.”
"I'm so angry! I'm going to Peking University right now and I'll fight him to the death! If he's so capable, he shouldn't be hiding in a university anymore!"
Zhou Chuan's lips twitched. He was furious and paced around the room, seemingly looking for a weapon to fight Zhou Chen to the death.
He couldn't bear Zhou Chen humiliating and mocking him like that.
"Fourth brother, calm down. Even if you go to him, what can you do? He might just want you to lose your temper and do something outrageous. Do you want to end up like your brother-in-law, in jail?"
Zhou Ling pulled Zhou Chuan aside, and her words calmed him down considerably.
“If you fight with him, he will definitely send you to jail. Don’t doubt how ruthless he is now. He shows no mercy to us and treats us as enemies. If you make a mistake, you will only fall into his trap.”
Zhou Ling was equally angry, but she knew even more clearly that it would be pointless to go to Zhou Chen.
Secondly, she recalled the scene of her going to the gate of Yanda University with Zhou Chuan, sending text messages to Zhou Chen, and showing off to Zhou Chen in various ways.
Now, Zhou Chen has used the same trick to slap them in the face. If they were to go and say this to Zhou Chen, they would only be humiliating themselves.
Not to mention, if things escalate, it will only do them harm, not benefit them.
"Third sister, I'll listen to you."
After calming down, Zhou Chuan realized his recklessness.
"Fourth brother, aren't you curious how he found out about this?"
"And before, when we were scammed, why did he know all about it? Logically speaking, there's no way he would know about what happened to us so quickly."
Zhou Ling suddenly raised a question.
Zhou Chuan was slightly taken aback. Yes, why did Zhou Chen find out about their embarrassing incident so quickly?
Could it be that Zhou Chen has been secretly monitoring them all along?
That shouldn't be the case.
Zhou Chen should still be attending classes at Yenching University; he hasn't noticed anyone following him or anything like that.
"Third sister, what do you think is going on?"
Zhou Chuan looked up and asked intently.
"It must be her. There is no one else but her."
Zhou Ling said slowly, her eyes flashing with anger.
she?
Zhou Chuan was slightly taken aback. He knew who Zhou Ling was referring to; it wasn't Zhou Chen, but their second sister, who was related to them by blood.
“It couldn’t be my second sister. Even if she’s become distant from us, it doesn’t mean she would go and tell Zhou Chen about this so he would laugh at us. We are her own brother and sister.”
Zhou Chuan shook his head, unwilling to believe it.
Zhou Ling sneered, "Fourth brother, you're still foolish enough to think of her as your second sister. But does she consider us family? If she cared about us, she wouldn't have looked down on us, forbade us from going to school to see her, and kept chasing us back to Fanjia County."
Nothing is impossible. I told you before that she was the one who told everyone we'd been scammed. Because of that, besides Uncle Hat, no one else could have done it. Even if that was a coincidence, how do you explain this time? We just left the police station, and he sent us a text message mocking and ridiculing us. Did Uncle Hat tell him? Do you think that's possible? It's our 'good second sister' of hers. Once is a coincidence, twice is another? There aren't that many coincidences in the world.”
In the end, Zhou Ling snorted coldly.
Zhou Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something in defense of Zhou Na, but upon careful thought, he realized it was indeed the case.
Only this explanation makes sense.
"Second sister, is it really you? You've disappointed me so much."
"I was even grateful that you came, thinking that you still cared about me and my third sister. I never expected that you would turn around and betray us, letting Zhou Chen, that outsider, laugh at us. Second sister, you feel like a stranger to me."
Zhou Chuan was persuaded by Zhou Ling.
Heartbroken by Zhou Na's betrayal, he immediately composed a text message and sent it to her.
On the other end,
Back in her dorm room, Zhou Na was in a good mood, feeling relieved to have broken up with those people. But a question from her roommates immediately extinguished her good mood.
Her three roommates knew that she was in Fanjia County and went to the same high school as Zhou Chen.
This made Zhou Na uneasy.
How did they know? She hid it very well.
Now that her roommates know, how should she explain herself? Will they hold a grudge against her for deliberately hiding the truth?
When she wasn't in the dorm, did the three of them secretly talk about her behind her back?
For a moment, Zhou Na was in a state of utter confusion.
She desperately wanted to escape because she didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Zhou Chen, but now it seemed she couldn't hide it any longer.
"Zhou Na doesn't want to talk, so let's not force her. Let's all disperse."
Just as Zhou Na was about to confess, her roommate across the bunk suddenly spoke up, making Zhou Na breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, the other two roommates stopped asking questions and went about their own business.
Zhou Na's heart was filled with turmoil, because she knew that the others must have developed new ideas about her.
But what could she do?
Could she say she was Zhou Chen's sister? Or that she was an adopted daughter of the Zhou family? At that time, the others would be even more curious about her relationship with Zhou Chen. Those with wider connections might also know what Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan had done, which would lead to prejudice against her, just like in high school.
We're back in a vicious cycle!
We can't tell anyone, we'll just keep it a secret as long as we can.
Zhou Na regretted it. She shouldn't have gone to the same city as Zhou Chen. Instead, she should have gone somewhere far away from Beijing. That way, Zhou Chen's influence on her life would have been negligible.
It's not like it is now; Zhou Chen's brilliance brings her endless troubles.
The vibration of the text message alert brought Zhou Na back to her senses.
She stopped thinking about all that nonsense.
It was sent by Zhou Chuan!
With a slight frown, she gently clicked on the link, and the contents came into view.
A moment later,
Zhou Na's face lost its color again, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Those two idiots actually accused her of informing, of betraying, and of passing on all the shameful news to Zhou Chen.
They thought so much of her,
Zhou Na felt utterly heartbroken.
So this is how Zhou Na was perceived by Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan.
It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Zhou Chen had no idea that the text message he sent would cause such a huge rift between the three siblings.
He was merely retaliating in the same way Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling had disgusted him before, letting the boomerang fall back on the two of them, but unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.
"Hmm? Any new information?"
Returning my gaze to the screen in front of me, after refreshing the webpage,
Zhou Chen has discovered new developments in the Shanlu milk powder tainted milk scandal.
