"Second sister, look, these were all bought for me by Brother Kun."
"How is it? Does it look good? It cost a lot of money."
Zhou Ling couldn't wait to show off her clothes, proving how happy she was.
A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Na's eyes, astonished that Zhao Kun was so willing to spend money on Zhou Ling.
She wasn't envious, because she believed that after she graduated from university, she would have all the things Zhou Ling had, and she wouldn't need to rely on a man; she could buy them with her own abilities.
The demolition compensation received by Zhao Kun's family ultimately belongs to the Zhao family. Even though Zhou Ling is the Zhao family's daughter-in-law, she cannot control all of it.
Only what you possess yourself truly belongs to you.
Given Zhao Kun's temperament and character, will he remain good to Zhou Ling after becoming rich overnight?
She was skeptical.
Men who have money are easily led astray.
Even if you don't try to attract attention, you're bound to have others throw themselves at you.
With this in mind, Zhou Na reminded Zhou Ling not to give other women an opportunity to ruin her marriage and family.
"Brother Kun would never do anything to betray me. Even if all the men in the world cheated on me, Brother Kun would never, because he said he would only love me. If he ever changed his mind, may he be struck by lightning."
Zhou Ling said confidently.
In Zhou Ling's view, Zhao Kun's oath was enough to prove that his affection and loyalty to her would not lead to any betrayal.
Zhou Na disagreed. Can you absolutely trust a man's words?
She doesn't think so.
The more solemnly one makes a vow, the more likely one is to break it.
"I'm just reminding you, the decision is yours." Zhou Na didn't waste any more words when faced with Zhou Ling, who was caught in the trap of love.
Zhou Ling hummed in agreement, not taking Zhou Na's reminder to heart, and then changed the subject, saying, "Second sister, you're here today not only to attend my wedding, but also to witness a good show."
Then, Zhou Ling told her that Zhou Chen was coming and said that she would take the opportunity to embarrass Zhou Chen in front of everyone.
Are you coming again?
Zhou Na raised an eyebrow.
You're still trying to cause trouble. Can't you, Zhou Ling, just shut up for a while and stop provoking Zhou Chen?
Having repeatedly tried to embarrass Zhou Chen but failed each time, and without learning from her mistakes, she could almost foresee that in the end, Zhou Ling would most likely be the clown again.
Zhou Ling sensed Zhou Na's skepticism and lack of confidence in her.
She didn't explain, because she wanted to prove herself with her abilities.
At that time, we will give Zhou Na a surprise and make her admire and respect us.
"Oh, right, Second Sister, Second Uncle and Third Uncle are here. I'll take you to say hello."
Zhou Ling pulled Zhou Na towards Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San.
Zhou Na was slightly taken aback, not expecting that her relatives from the Zhou family would actually come.
She first pulled Zhou Ling aside and asked what was going on. In her opinion, Zhou's relatives shouldn't recognize the three siblings, after all, they were Zhou's adopted sons and daughters.
Why would these Zhou family relatives give so much face and come to the wedding?
Zhou Ling's eyes lit up as she thought of this, and she laughed, "Second sister, haven't you heard the saying, 'When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even distant relatives come calling from the deep mountains'? I told them I got the demolition compensation, and they'll come for the money."
Zhou Na remained silent. She had to admit that Zhou Ling was right. She had almost no contact with the Zhou family relatives before, and the kinship between them was very weak. It was only after her parents' unexpected death that they took the initiative to come.
However, his true purpose was to acquire property. He initially had his eye on the house, but after learning that it was rented, he shifted his focus to the money left behind. When he learned that there wasn't much money left and that he still had to take care of his four siblings, he lost interest.
They were seen as a burden, a bottomless pit of enormous expenses.
In the end, Zhou Chen chose to drop out of school and work on a construction site instead of living off his family's savings.
Thinking of this, Zhou Na suddenly felt a sense of shame towards Zhou Chen.
He shook his head.
Zhou Na immediately cleared up this feeling. Zhou Chen had sacrificed a lot for this family, but it was all of his own free will; no one forced him to do it.
Besides, she had never needed Zhou Chen's help. Zhou Chen did earn money by working to support the three of them, but she kept track of the expenses and would pay him back after graduating from university; she didn't want the money.
That way, she wouldn't owe Zhou Chen anything.
In a daze, Zhou Na was pulled by Zhou Ling to meet Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San. The Zhou family members knew that Zhou Na had good grades, so they treated her fairly politely.
Zhou Na disliked these relatives of the Zhou family because she felt that they were only there for the money. She thought that if Zhou Ling had married into the Zhao family, who hadn't received any compensation for the demolition, probably none of them would have come.
The two sisters chatted awkwardly with the Zhou family members, making small talk.
Sun Tingting suddenly ran over and whispered in Zhou Ling's ear that Zhou Chen had arrived outside the door.
He's here!
Hearing that Zhou Chen had really come, Zhou Ling was overjoyed.
Then he pulled Zhou Na aside, shared the news, and told her that she didn't have to worry about anything, just watch quietly and witness Zhou Chen's embarrassing moment during the wedding.
At the entrance of the banquet hall,
Zhou Chen arrived, along with Li Kaile.
"Brother Chen, this wedding is quite large, comparable to weddings in the city. It must have cost a lot of money. No wonder he sent out so many invitations in the group chat, he just wanted to show off."
Li Kaile commented.
Zhou Chen glanced sideways, somewhat surprised that Li Kaile had hit the nail on the head. As the person who knew Zhou Ling, this ungrateful wretch, best, he knew that Zhou Ling was putting on a show just to impress and flaunt her wealth.
Besides that, the main purpose was to humiliate him, embarrass him, and slap him in the face.
In his previous life, even though Zhou Ling said those things, he was still thinking of her, until many years later when he finally realized what he meant.
Now that he has been reborn, he will not repeat the same mistakes.
This time, it's your turn, Zhou Ling, to be embarrassed.
"Let's go inside."
Zhou Chen glanced at the two names on the balloon: Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun. Hehe... the surprise for you is yet to come.
"Brother Chen, wait for me."
Seeing Zhou Chen walk a few steps, Li Kaile quickly chased after him.
The arrival of Zhou Chen, along with his complicated relationship with Zhou Ling, and their entangled grudges, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Whether they were students from a high school, members of the Zhou family, or relatives of the Zhao family, everyone turned their attention to them.
Goodness, Li Kaile felt a little uncomfortable and out of place in this situation.
But she still gritted her teeth and stayed close to Zhou Chen.
When he secretly glanced at Zhou Chen, and saw that Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he didn't even frown, Li Kaile was greatly impressed.
They exclaimed that Zhou Chen was amazing, able to remain calm and composed no matter the situation.
"I want to learn from Brother Chen and become a calm and composed person."
Li Kaile muttered to himself.
