Despite her reluctance, Zhou Ling agreed to Zhou Chuan's request to find Zhou Na and ask her to help him overcome his current difficulties.
Because Zhou Chuan is not only her brother, but also Zhou Na's brother.
As the older sister, it's only natural for Zhou Na to help her younger brother.
Thinking about it from a different perspective, Zhou Ling suddenly no longer had any psychological barriers. She realized that taking the initiative to find Zhou Na was not a shameful thing, nor was it her way of bowing down to Zhou Na.
She was merely relaying messages, acting as a mouthpiece.
The next day
Zhou Ling wore a hat and a mask, completely concealing herself.
She didn't want a high school student to recognize her.
Sun Tingting made public the video of her scamming food and drinks at the noodle shop, turning her into a laughing stock. Once recognized, she would definitely be ridiculed in various ways.
To avoid such a thing happening, she must hide herself.
Unfortunately, the large belly couldn't be hidden.
But that was all she could do. No matter how big the clothes were, they couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant and had a big belly. She could only hope that if others couldn't see her face, they wouldn't know who she was.
At the school gate,
A figure lurked furtively, looking around furtively. After confirming that he hadn't been recognized, he patted his chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was none other than Zhou Ling.
She arrived exceptionally early to prevent Zhou Na from going to school prematurely.
There are many students passing by during school hours.
With her large pregnant belly and her face so well covered, Zhou Ling looked quite conspicuous and eye-catching.
This attracted curious glances from many students.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Ling immediately turned her head away, trying not to let anyone see her face clearly, and prayed in her heart that she wouldn't be recognized and that Zhou Na would appear quickly.
Once she had delivered the message, she would leave without lingering.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A curious student came over, looked him up and down, and asked a question.
Zhou Ling waved her hand, pretending to be mute.
She dared not speak, afraid that her voice would be overheard.
"Oh, so he's mute."
"Ah... Oppa... Waaaah... Waaaaah..."
Seeing that she genuinely believed she was mute, Zhou Ling immediately pretended to be mute and spoke. Sure enough, the curious student immediately lost interest and turned to leave.
Zhou Ling praised herself for her cleverness.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly.
If she had been even a fraction of a second slower, she might have been recognized; she's just too clever.
"I feel like this person is like the ungrateful Zhou Ling."
"It looks like it to me too. That big belly, she must be pregnant. Zhou Ling is pregnant, could she be Zhou Ling?"
"How dare she come to school?"
A group of girls openly discussed this in front of Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling listened intently, but didn't show it on her face, because she knew she hadn't been exposed yet, and these people were only suspicious.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Zhou Ling prayed silently that the others wouldn't come to talk to her and quickly entered the school.
However,
Sometimes, what you fear most is what comes to pass.
The girls approached Zhou Ling and asked if she needed any help.
Zhou Ling resorted to her old trick, pretending to be mute and speaking incoherently in a non-human language.
Seeing this, the girls realized that he was mute, and their curiosity was immediately dampened. Just as they turned to leave,
Suddenly one of the girls turned around and called out, "Zhou Ling!"
Zhou Ling's body jolted, and she almost responded, thus exposing herself on the spot.
"It seems I was wrong. You really aren't an ungrateful wretch like Zhou Ling."
The female student looked disappointed; she had thought that if she tried to trick her, she would get the information.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were that ungrateful, shameless, and inhuman scoundrel Zhou Ling. I was just overthinking it."
The female student expressed her apologies.
Zhou Ling was furious when she heard the other party insult her like that, but she dared not show it on her face. In fact, she forced a smile in order to get the other party to leave quickly.
"Have you heard of Zhou Ling? Do you know anything about her?"
Zhou Ling nodded, then pretended to use sign language.
"You also think she's not human, right? She's an animal."
Zhou Ling: "..."
Zhou Ling gritted her teeth and nodded, feeling furious. She had to agree with someone who was insulting her to her face; it was so frustrating.
But she had to endure it for the sake of her fourth brother, Zhou Chuan.
"Classmates, come here quickly! Even a mute person knows that Zhou Ling is a heartless scoundrel. Everyone knows about Zhou Ling's bad reputation."
The girl's call drew even more people over.
When Zhou Ling saw this scene, her pupils froze, and she cursed inwardly. Was she really that hated now? Everyone wanted to spit on her whenever she was mentioned.
It's all Zhou Chen's fault. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, her reputation wouldn't have gotten so bad.
He became the laughingstock and the object of hatred for the entire school.
Zhou Chen, I hate you.
I will never forgive you in my lifetime.
Zhou Ling blamed everything on Zhou Chen, but on the surface, she still had to smile and appease the students in front of her.
The students mocked and ridiculed Zhou Ling in front of her, making her so angry that her liver ached.
Just then,
Zhou Ling suddenly noticed a figure.
After a brief moment of distraction, she immediately turned her head away, not wanting the other person to see her.
Zhou Chen only glanced at Zhou Ling, who was surrounded by the crowd, before riding his bicycle past her. However, he still felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Could it be Zhou Ling?
The thought flashed through his mind, but Zhou Chen didn't bother with it, because he didn't care whether it was Zhou Ling or not.
Seeing that Zhou Chen entered the teaching building and did not curiously crowd around like the other students, Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
She was confident she could fool others, but not so much Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen gets close, she is very likely to be exposed.
The students were only curious about her. After confirming that it wasn't Zhou Ling, they made some comments and then turned and left.
Zhou Ling was extremely annoyed by those who insulted her, and could only retaliate in secret to vent her anger.
Suddenly,
When Zhou Ling saw Zhou Na walking over, her eyes lit up immediately.
Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many classmates around, I immediately went over.
Before he could reach Zhou Na, she stopped and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Ling was slightly taken aback.
She was recognized.
Even if she was completely concealed and didn't say a word, Zhou Na knew her identity?
These thoughts only flashed through Zhou Ling's mind. Since that was the case, she stopped pretending and went straight to the point, saying that Zhou Chuan needed help and money to get through his current days of hiding.
But Zhou Na's next words left Zhou Ling stunned.
"Helping fugitives is illegal, and those who commit serious offenses will go to jail."
“You know perfectly well that your fourth brother has broken the law, yet instead of persuading him to turn himself in and reform himself as soon as possible, you ask me to give him money. You are not helping him, you are harming him. Do you understand?”
Zhou Na said coldly, her face expressionless.
