Chapter 124 Zhou Qingyan's "Betrayal"
The Zhou family is both funny and outrageous.
But none of this has anything to do with Wen Ning, because the Zhou family is not her family.
Zhou Qinghe pressed his nose bridge with a headache and said, "They must have done this for you, Teacher Gu!"
The last three words were pronounced extremely heavily, as if hinting at something.
Gu Boyan glanced at Wen Ning who was sitting next to him, a smile flashed across his eyes, and then he said with a curled lip, "Brother-in-law, that's right."
Zhou Qinghe: “….”
It was also the first time that Peng Zeyu saw Gu Boyan so "enthusiastic", and he wanted to laugh as soon as he opened his mouth.
But then he thought about it and realized that just because he called her "sister-in-law", he was tricked by Gu Boyan and had to do hard labor for more than a week.
So, after thinking about it, I decided to endure it.
"Brother, it's best not to let those people from the Zhou family know about my relationship with A Yan." Wen Ning couldn't help but frown at this. "They're very annoying."
No matter in the past or now, in front of the Zhou family’s group of people who only care about their own interests, she is like a blood bag!
If the Zhou family knew about this, they would definitely try to make a big fuss about it and shamelessly try to establish a relationship with the Gu family.
This made Wen Ning very disgusted.
Zhou Qinghe naturally knew about this, so when Lin Wanyi asked him openly and secretly a few days ago about how Wen Ning and Gu Boyan were doing in Country A, he never said a word.
This time I came to pick them up at the airport without notifying them.
Who knew they would be so shameless as to follow him secretly to the airport.
"I know what to do about this, Ningning. Your feelings will always be your own business."
Just as I said this, another call came in.
"Hello, this is the C City Police Department. Is this Mr. Zhou Qinghe?" the female voice on the other end of the phone asked in a businesslike manner.
Zhou Qinghe was silent for a moment, then replied, "I am."
"Oh, that's right. Now there are several people suspected of following you..."
Although the police can directly retrieve the identity information of several people in the system, they have also confirmed the relationship between Zhou Qinghe and Zhou Donghai, Lin Wanyi and others.
However, this incident involved multiple people reporting the case, and the parties involved needed to go to the police station for mediation.
Wen Ning was not interested in this, and Gu Boyan naturally followed her. As they both needed to adjust to the time difference, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Interestingly, Zhou Qinghe was very considerate and careful in arranging rooms for the two of them.
One is in the leftmost room on the first floor.
The other one is in the rightmost room on the third floor.
No matter from which angle you look at it, these two rooms are the farthest rooms in the villa in a straight line.
Of course, Zhou Qinghe’s only regret was that the basement rooms were all designed as entertainment rooms such as audio-visual boxes and billiard halls, and there were no guest rooms at all!
If there was, he guaranteed that Gu Boyan would sleep there.
However, Peng Zeyu excitedly followed Zhou Qinghe to the police station.
After all, such outrageous things are rare.
Now that I have the chance, it would be such a shame not to go and see it live.
So, Peng Zeyu resolutely followed, and before leaving, he promised to take a short video for them!
When the two arrived at the police station, the Zhou family was staying in the mediation room.
As soon as they saw Zhou Qinghe coming, they all glared at him.
Zhou Donghai was very arrogant, "Third brother, why did you come here just now!"
Zhou Qingci's tone was also very dissatisfied, "Third brother, why didn't you answer my call? If you had answered, there wouldn't be this misunderstanding!"
"That's right, third brother, did you do it on purpose? What did that damn girl Wen Ning say to you again?" Lin Wanyi's tone was also full of resentment.
Zhou Qinghe has been weak since childhood, and his legs became disabled two years ago, so his health has never been good, and he is thin and pale.
In addition, he was sitting in a wheelchair, which made him look even more sick.
Seeing the Zhou family members pointing at and scolding the sickly Zhou Qinghe, the female police officer nearby couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned and said, "Your son, your brother, has such an inconvenience in traveling in a wheelchair, and you family members don't care whether he's tired from coming all this way, but instead you despise him for coming so slowly. Haha, I really doubt whether you are his family!"
Zhou Donghai's eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Shut up, the third child is my biological son. The household registration system can verify this."
Peng Zeyu blinked his sparkling, affectionate peach blossom eyes and said, "Boss Zhou, let me say something, even if we're not on the same household registration, we're still family~"
Zhou Donghai looked grim.
The female police officer next to her burst out laughing.
Zhou Qinghe, on the other hand, sat upright in a wheelchair, his eyes slightly lowered, his thick eyelashes hiding the flash of sarcasm in his eyes.
But in the end, he raised his head and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you officers..."
The female police officer still has a good impression of Zhou Qinghe, who is handsome, elegant, polite and speaks courteously.
Moreover, this is just a misunderstanding in itself. It can be resolved through mediation and discussion between the two parties.
So, after asking them to sign their names on the mediation agreement, I left.
After leaving the mediation room, the landlord was waiting outside. When he saw Zhou Qinghe coming out, he immediately went up to him and asked, "Mr. He, are they really your family?"
Zhou Qinghe frowned slightly and nodded.
The landlord's brows knitted together. "If your family wanted to look for you, why didn't they just come openly? Why did they have to be so sneaky and wait outside, acting like they were stalking you?"
Zhou Qinghe really didn't know about the stakeout.
The phoenix eyes turned away, revealing some doubt.
Lin Wanyi tried to stop him immediately, but the landlord blurted out the words as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's your mother. She's been lurking outside your villa for several days. Many neighbors have noticed her."
Zhou Qinghe's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Lin Wanyi with heavy eyes.
Lin Wanyi felt very embarrassed when he looked at her. She cursed the landlord for being too talkative in her heart, while at the same time she was quickly thinking about how to explain away the fact that she was squatting there.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a decent reason.
He could only look at the Zhou family members as if asking for help.
But he thought he would get understanding and help from his family, but he didn't expect Zhou Donghai to take out his anger on Lin Wanyi.
"I asked you to come and ask the third brother about the situation. What were you hanging around outside his door for? It's all your fault that he was labeled a stalker!"
Zhou Qingci also frowned, "Mom, you can just knock on the door and go find the third child, why are you waiting there?"
Even Shen Xufeng, who had been silent the entire time, expressed his dissatisfaction, "Aunt Lin, Third Brother is your biological son. If you want to find him, just do it openly. Why do you have to be so sneaky? Now you've implicated us all and we've been labeled as stalkers."
Everyone pushed the blame onto Lin Wanyi.
Lin Wanyi clenched her fists, unable to express her pain, and almost couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Zhou Yaya rolled her eyes and immediately went over to put her arm around Lin Wanyi's shoulders, speaking softly.
"Mom, please don't be angry. This isn't my fault. Because of my third brother's poor health, I've always loved him the most and cared about him the most. If it weren't for the misunderstanding between you and me recently because of my sister, he wouldn't have ignored your calls, and you wouldn't have to stay outside the villa."
A few days ago, Lin Wanyi was so angry about the photo of Zhou Yaya and Zhou Qingyan sitting on each other's laps that she didn't want to talk to Zhou Yaya anymore.
But now she found that none of her sons could understand her efforts as a mother, and her own children were ungrateful and always annoyed with her.
Instead, the adopted daughter who had raised her since childhood knew how to be filial to her best, and suddenly, she valued Zhou Yaya even more.
In a word, she not only established herself as a caring and good daughter in front of Lin Wanyi, but also aroused Lin Wanyi's resentment towards Wen Ning, which was a two-pronged approach.
Zhou Yaya raised the corners of her lips in pride. The relationship between her and Zhou Qinghe had long been dead in name only, so she didn't care at all whether her words might offend him!
She even had a strategy in mind if Zhou Qinghe spoke up for Wen Ning.
But what Zhou Qinghe never expected was that before he could open his mouth, Zhou Qingyan actually spoke first.
"What does the conflict between Mom and the third child have to do with Wen Ning? Yaya, stop trying to sow discord here!"
This provocative remark instantly silenced everyone present, and they all looked at Zhou Qingyan in surprise and confusion.
Is this still the Zhou Qingyan who has always loved Zhou Yaya the most and always favored Zhou Yaya without hesitation?
Everyone couldn't believe it for a moment!
Only Peng Zeyu, who didn't know much about Zhou Qingyan, raised his eyebrows with interest when he saw him speaking up for justice.
Zhou Yaya looked at Zhou Qingyan in disbelief and asked hesitantly, "Second brother, what did you say?"
Others might just think that Zhou Qingyan simply loves her like a younger sister.
But Zhou Yaya knew clearly that Zhou Qingyan's preference for her and his resentment towards Wen Ning were all cultivated by her since he was five years old!
It’s no exaggeration to say that Zhou Qingyan has been successfully brainwashed!
She couldn't believe that Zhou Qingyan would choose Wen Ning over her!
No, that's impossible!
However, Zhou Qingyan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He frowned and spoke.
"Mom and the third son have been together for over twenty years. Wen Ning has only been in the Zhou family for less than a year and a half. What could she possibly use to sow discord between Mom and the third son?"
"Besides, Wen Ning hasn't been in the country at all lately. He just came back today and is probably still sleeping due to jet lag. Why do you have to bring her up again and again when it's clearly nothing to do with her?"
The more he talked, the more Zhou Qingyan felt aggrieved for Wen Ning!
Ever since he accidentally heard the truth about Wen Ning being "kidnapped" that day, he felt that his inexplicable hostility towards Wen Ning in the past few years was simply a joke.
In the past few days, because the Zhou family's capital chain has broken down and the family has fallen into crisis, the family members are not thinking about how to overcome the difficulties. Instead, they are thinking about using Wen Ning to establish a relationship with the family, and even planning how to get Wen Ning into Gu Boyan's bed...
Zhou Qingyan has really had enough!
I simply let out all the words that had been pent up in my heart for a long time.
"Originally, Wen Ning was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. It was my fault that I lost her."
Having said that, Zhou Qingyan looked at Zhou Donghai and Lin Wanyi with anger and unwillingness, then quickly turned his head away, took a deep breath, and continued.
"It's only right that Wen Ning was found. As for you, you've been the little princess in the Zhou family for so many years. We all doted on you. For you, even our own daughters and sisters didn't dare to show their love openly, for fear that you would feel unbalanced."
"But, everyone favors you so much, yet three years ago, you framed Wen Ning for your own selfish desires, causing her to spend three years in a mental hospital. You even let her attend the university she worked so hard to get into."
"But after this incident broke out, apart from asking you to apologize, you didn't give her any other compensation."
"I just feel that, Yaya, you're really taking advantage of Wen Ning. Can you please be more aware of the fact that you're taking advantage of her and stop throwing all that dirty water at her?"
"Can't you see that Wen Ning doesn't want to bother with our family at all now?"
These words made the faces of the Zhou family members present even uglier, and Zhou Yaya turned even paler and trembled.
Zhou Qingyan, actually said this to her for Wen Ning?
If it was Zhou Donghai, Lin Wanyi, or Zhou Qingci who said these words at this time, she would not be so angry!
But it was Zhou Qingyan, how could it be Zhou Qingyan!
Zhou Qingyan was an obedient and honest dog that she had trained since he was a child!!!
Moreover, some time ago, she was mocked by the entire Internet for sitting on Zhou Qingyan's lap, and her reputation was ruined!
In this situation, how could he betray himself!!!
This betrayal made it even more difficult for Zhou Yaya to accept!
This time, Zhou Yaya looked at Zhou Qingyan, her red eyes filled with undisguised anger and resentment.
She slowly opened her mouth, her tone strong, "Zhou Qingyan, in your heart, am I this kind of scheming and calculating woman?"
Zhou Qingyan blurted out, "I'm telling the truth!"
"You!" Zhou Yaya was furious, tears welling up in her eyes without warning.
After all, she was the younger sister who had been pampered since childhood. Zhou Qingyan opened her mouth and said with a soft heart, "Don't cry, that's not what I meant."
Zhou Yaya asked loudly, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two people escalated, the female police officer beside them frowned and reminded them, "If you want to quarrel as a family, go home and have it, don't quarrel here."
At this moment, Zhou Donghai noticed Peng Zeyu with a half-smile out of the corner of his eye. He knew very well that this man was the eldest son of the Peng family in Beijing and was also a close friend of Gu Boyan.
The fact that Wen Ning doesn't get along with their family must not be spread outside!
Suddenly, he kicked Zhou Qingyan on the butt and scolded him in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about here? Whether it's Yaya or Ningning, they are both your sisters, the daughters of me and your mother. We are all family. You should stop trying to sow discord here."
Zhou Qingyan was kicked and was so angry that he didn't say a word.
At this time, Zhou Donghai turned his head and said, "Third brother, don't mind what the second brother and your sister said just now. You are a good son to your parents, and Ningning is also a good daughter to your parents."
