What's the point of showing off those cheap clothes that cost only a few hundred yuan?
Zhou Chen remained expressionless and showed no reaction. Noticing this, Zhou Ling was immediately enraged and continued smugly:
"Didn't you think I was unhappy marrying Xiao Kun? Now you see, Xiao Kun treats me very well and is willing to spend money on me."
“I don’t have to do anything at home, I’m just a little princess. It turns out I made the right choice in choosing a man. On the contrary, you almost ruined my happy life. Luckily I didn’t listen to you and stuck to my choice.”
At this point, Zhou Ling was extremely proud. She had come today to show off in front of Zhou Chen, and saying these things now made her feel very comfortable, as if she had vented all the anger she had suffered before.
Having suffered humiliation at Zhou Chen's hands several times, she wanted to slap him hard in the face and make him realize that the love she chose was not wrong, but that Zhou Chen was the one who was wrong.
Even the neighbors say that Zhao Kun treats her very well and thinks she is happy. What do you, Zhou Chen, have to say?
"Do his parents spoil you like Zhao Kun did?"
Happiness cannot be faked.
Zhou Chen looked at the self-righteous Zhou Ling and casually tossed out two sentences.
Then,
He slightly turned the bicycle around and rode past Zhou Ling.
And he deliberately chuckled as he passed by.
Zhou Ling's pupils narrowed, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, because Zhou Chen's short sentence had indeed hit her weak spot.
Zhao Kun was good to her, but as Zhou Chen said, Zhao Kun's parents didn't care about her. When she first met Zhao Kun, the two old people treated her extremely well, calling her their daughter and their precious child. But ever since she dropped out of school and became pregnant with Zhao Kun's child, her status in the Zhao family has declined rather than risen.
Zhao Kun's parents, clearly acting as if the deed was done and they weren't worried about her running away, tore off their hypocritical masks and revealed their sharp and mean-spirited true selves.
She naturally couldn't tell anyone about this, much less show it to Zhou Chen and make a fool of herself in front of him.
However, Zhou Chen seemed to know something.
Zhou Ling's heart was in a panic at this moment. She was afraid that Zhou Chen would see through her feigned happiness, otherwise why would he mention Zhao Kun's parents?
But soon she realized it was impossible. Zhou Chen had only met Zhao Kun a few times, so it was impossible for him to know who Zhao Kun's parents were or where they lived.
He must be guessing and talking nonsense.
“Zhou Chen, stop talking nonsense. My mother-in-law and father-in-law treat me better than Xiao Kun. You just don’t want to admit that I’m happy.”
"You misjudged Brother Kun and are unwilling to admit your poor judgment. Don't you think you're ridiculous? I despise you..."
Hearing Zhou Ling's rebuttal from behind, Zhou Chen couldn't help but snort coldly.
He's talking nonsense, he won't admit it? He's ridiculous.
He really wanted to say, who is talking nonsense, and who is denying it?
It's clearly you, Zhou Ling, who are deceiving yourself, living in your own world, and insisting on pretending to be happy. You're not deceiving him, you're deceiving yourself.
You, Zhou Ling, are the truly laughable one.
Do you really think nobody knows how Zhao Kun's parents treat you?
In his previous life, Zhou Chen had heard Zhao Kun's parents scolding Zhou Ling more than once. At that time, Zhou Ling was pregnant, and as the eldest brother, he would visit her with fruit. Even though he did not agree to Zhou Ling being with Zhao Kun, he could only accept it.
He happened to witness Zhou Ling being talked about, which led to an argument with Zhao Kun's parents. Instead of helping her older brother, Zhou Ling blamed him for ruining her relationship with her in-laws and told him not to go there anymore.
He stood up for Zhou Ling and became a sinner.
He was really fed up with Zhou Ling, his love-struck and stupid third sister.
In his past life, he was truly blinded by greed, standing up for such a fool and sacrificing so much. In this life, seeing Zhou Ling rushing into the fire pit again, he didn't stop her at all.
It would be best if Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun were locked together forever, never to separate, and to harm each other, but never to harm anyone else.
Zhou Chen had no intention of retaliating; he let Zhou Ling deceive herself. Whether she was happy or not was a matter of personal experience.
When he came downstairs again, Zhou Ling had already left. She probably failed to show off and was instead hurt, so she had no desire to continue pretending to be happy in front of her old neighbors.
The elderly neighbors no longer came over with their saintly, elder-like attitudes, trying to persuade him by saying things like, "As an older brother, you must give in to your younger sister."
Clearly, the last time, the angry rebuttal had a significant effect; no one wanted to risk offending them.
That's great, no one should meddle in other people's business.
He now hates people who spout a bunch of grand principles, but when it comes to actually doing the work themselves, they can't do it.
You get stabbed once, the blood hasn't even been wiped clean yet, and he comes over and says, "You have to be brave." *snap* You get stabbed again, and he comes over again and says, "You have to be brave." Are you fucking crazy? Do you know what I've been through? And you want me to be brave?!
As Teacher Guo once said, you should stay away from people who advise you to be magnanimous, because if they get struck by lightning, they might drag you down with them.
Arriving at the night market, in front of the stinky tofu stall...
Xu Dalong was busy at work, and the number of customers eating stinky tofu had not decreased but had actually increased.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that quite a few students were vying to buy them.
"Brother Xiao Chen".
Xu Dalong smiled sheepishly when he saw him arrive.
Zhou Chen nodded, and Zhang Dafu also took the initiative to greet him, calling him "Brother Zhou".
After simply nodding to Zhang Dafu and the other stall owners, he helped collect the money and got busy with the work.
"Oh, I know you. You're a student at our school."
"Is this your stall?"
"yes."
"Since we're from the same school, is there a discount?"
"Of course, we'll throw in three extra pieces of stinky tofu."
When his classmates recognized him, Zhou Chen responded with a smile.
at the same time,
Having failed to show off to Zhou Chen and having her sore spot hit hard, Zhou Ling pouted as soon as she got home, feeling extremely angry.
She clearly wanted to save face and slap Zhou Chen in the face, but in the end, she became the one who got slapped in the face.
"His parents have a problem with me, and the root cause is you."
"If you hadn't refused to give me my dowry, I wouldn't have been looked down upon and subjected to such sarcastic remarks. It's all your fault."
Zhou Ling realized that Zhao Kun's parents' attitude towards her stemmed from the lack of a dowry, and Zhou Chen was undoubtedly the culprit behind this.
Zhou Chen brought up Zhao Kun's parents and made fun of her.
Zhou Ling suspected that all of this was premeditated by Zhou Chen. Not taking the dowry was revenge on her for insisting on being with Zhao Kun, and for making her unable to win the favor of Zhao Kun's parents.
Thinking of this, she hated Zhou Chen even more.
"I will definitely show you how happy I am."
"We'll see how you far if you don't laugh at us!"
Zhou Ling looked indignant, her eyes filled with determination.
