Zhou Chen was starting to have an existential crisis.
Did he not get reborn?
Just two days ago, the two of them had such a bad argument, how could Zhou Ling have the nerve to call him?
"When you heard the news that I was pregnant, weren't you happy, brother? From now on, you'll be an elder, my son's uncle."
"As the uncle, shouldn't you do something to show your appreciation?"
“I see other people’s uncles preparing red envelopes for their future nephews. I’m your own sister, so you should prepare a red envelope too.”
On the phone, Zhou Ling remained self-righteous, lost in her own world.
Zhou Chen initially wanted to pry open this love-struck person's head to see how their thought process worked and why their thinking was so unique.
It wasn't until he heard the word "red envelope" that he realized that Zhou Ling was just trying to get money from him through various means.
It was supposed to be dowry money, but that didn't work out.
Now, she's using her pregnancy as an excuse to ask for red envelopes again. It really proves the old saying: "An old sow wearing a bra, one set after another."
Zhou Chen was really annoyed by Zhou Ling. He wanted to get rid of her persistent haunting, so he bluntly said, "Zhou Ling, we are not related by blood. I am not your biological brother. If you want a red envelope, you can't ask me for one."
Secondly, who told you that you're definitely having a boy? I advise you to prepare for having a girl.
Finally, I'll say it again: please don't bother me anymore. I don't want to repeat myself.
Snap...
After saying that, Zhou Chen hung up the phone and then blocked the number.
Having said all that, he didn't believe Zhou Ling would continue to appear in front of him.
On the other end,
"Honey, what did your brother say?"
Seeing Zhou Ling put down her phone in astonishment, Zhao Kun hurriedly asked.
Since learning of Zhou Ling's pregnancy, Zhao Kun's feelings have been quite complicated. He hadn't expected to become a father so soon. He was naturally happy to have his own child, but at the same time, he was also a little scared.
He was starting to worry because he would have to take care of a little kid and earn money for baby formula, so he couldn't continue his extravagant lifestyle.
To alleviate some of the pressure, the two decided to tell Zhou Chen the news, hoping to get some money from him. They hadn't been able to get their dowry money before, but this time, by using the child's name, they were sure they could succeed.
But Zhou Ling's expression gave Zhao Kun a bad feeling.
"Brother Kun, my brother... he said that I might not be having a boy, but a girl. If I have a daughter, will you be happy? Will my aunt and uncle be as happy as they are today? They seem to prefer grandsons."
Zhou Ling suddenly became worried.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun immediately smiled broadly and said, "Wife, I love it whether it's a boy or a girl. As long as it's my child, I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. As for Mom and Dad, I believe they... will also like a daughter. You don't need to worry."
When Zhao Kun said the last sentence, his tone wasn't particularly confident, but Zhou Ling didn't notice and instead believed him.
"Brother Kun, you're so good to me. Being with you is the best decision I've ever made in my life. Unlike my brother, he... he actually said that I'm not related to him by blood just so he wouldn't give us money."
How could he be so heartless to say something like that? I hate him so much. Even if he wants to see our son after he's born, I won't let him, and I certainly won't let our son call him "uncle." He doesn't deserve to be an uncle.
Anger quickly filled Zhou Ling's face again.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun also looked indignant: "Wife, it seems that all the kindness your brother showed to you siblings before was an act. He even came up with the excuse that we are not related by blood just to avoid giving money for our son's birth."
"You can disown your older brother if you want; I've figured it out. Getting money out of him is harder than climbing to heaven."
"If only my parents were alive, they would never have watched me being bullied like this."
Zhou Ling recalled how her parents doted on her when they were alive. Back then, she was the little princess of the family. If Zhou Chen bullied her, she would tell her parents and they would beat Zhou Chen up.
But now,
Her parents are gone; she has no one to rely on anymore.
"Mom and Dad, I miss you so much. Could you please teach my brother a lesson in my dreams?"
“He’s gone too far! He said I wasn’t born of you, he embezzled my dowry, and he doesn’t even want to give my son his share of the wedding gift. Please, teach him a lesson for me…”
As Zhou Ling spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun hugged Zhou Ling and said, "Wife, don't be sad. Zhou Chen is a scoundrel. You still have your second sister and third brother. Tell them about this and let them stand up for you."
If your brother continues to be cold and heartless, he will end up alienated from everyone. Then, let him live out his days alone. None of you three should speak to him.
Um?
When Zhou Ling mentioned her second sister and fourth brother, her eyes lit up.
Yes, she's not all alone. She can go to her second sister Zhou Na and fourth brother Zhou Chuan for justice. You, Zhou Chen, say that I have no blood relation with you, fine, but you can't say that your second sister and fourth brother also have no blood relation with you, can you?
When her second sister and fourth brother find out, they will definitely stand by her side, because the three of them have been the closest since childhood.
Zhou Chen went further and further, breaking up a perfectly good family and saying she wanted to live separately.
Zhou Chen is a sinner of the Zhou family.
The three siblings wanted to put him on trial and criticize him.
Even if you're the eldest brother, that doesn't give you the right to bully the three of them.
They also have tempers and dignity.
Zhou Chen was unaware that, in the mind of his third sister Zhou Ling, he was already bound hand and foot and taken to the execution ground for a severe struggle session and interrogation.
Of course, besides this, Zhou Ling also pinned her hopes on her deceased parents, hoping that they could teach Zhou Chen a lesson in her dreams, so that Zhou Chen would take the initiative to apologize and admit his mistakes, and then give her all the dowry money, red envelope money, etc., so that she could live a happy and respectable life.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen didn't know about this, otherwise he would have been so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
Whether Sun Liancheng listened to his advice and reminders or not.
Zhou Chen couldn't be sure, and he didn't want to go to the office to ask. He had already told Sun Liancheng everything he could yesterday.
Hopefully, Sun Liancheng will take this to heart and be willing to wait a month. Otherwise, once the land for the third phase of the project is sold, Sun Liancheng will inevitably repeat the mistakes of his past life.
"Disciple, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah...no...it's nothing, Master. Could you please keep an eye on whether that piece of land in Phase Three will be sold?"
After being patted on the shoulder by Xu Laoqi, Zhou Chen came back to his senses, finished the rice porridge in his mouth, and hoped to get some information from Xu Laoqi as soon as possible.
Xu Laoqi looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled expression. "Why are you concerned about this now? Fine, if you want to know, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Zhou Chen chuckled but offered no explanation.
