With tears streaming down her face, Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun and said, "Bingkun, why didn't you tell me about what happened? You must have suffered a lot inside, right?"
Li Suhua looked at her youngest son with heartache.
Even after so much time has passed, she is still terrified when she hears it now.
If I had known at the time, I probably would have fainted on the spot.
Zhou Bingkun wiped away Zheng Juan's tears: "It's all in the past, why bring this up! I was the one who asked Teacher Shao to keep it from you, otherwise, with your and Mom's courage, who knows how scared you would have been!"
“I wasn’t home at the time. What would happen to the children if something had happened to you and Mom?”
Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun with a mixture of reproach and gratitude: "Even when you were in that state, you were still worried about us!"
"I'm the man of the house, it's what I should do!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
At this moment, everyone present remained silent.
Looking at Zhou Bingkun at this moment, Hao Dongmei couldn't help but think of Zhou Bingyi.
In order to conceal her infertility, Zhou Bingyi was willing to take the blame himself.
This behavior is so similar to that of the uncle in front of me.
No wonder they're brothers, they're both so responsible!
In comparison, Zhou Rong seemed utterly unappealing.
She harmed her brother for her husband's sake, yet showed no remorse or apology.
Her younger brother raised her daughter for two years, but she showed no gratitude whatsoever. Instead, she complained that her brother hadn't raised their daughter well!
Thinking of this, Hao Dongmei felt a chill in her heart. Fortunately, they didn't have much interaction with Zhou Rong!
However, the thought that Zhou Rong and her husband had both been admitted to Peking University made her start to worry again.
It seems that once we get back, I must warn my husband to keep a certain distance from Zhou Rong.
Otherwise, given her husband's personality, she would probably be taken advantage of even more!
Seeing that Zhou Rong remained silent and wanted to shirk responsibility, Feng Huacheng had no choice but to speak up: "Dad, Mom, this is my fault! Zhou Rong was trying to save me, so she didn't realize that Bingkun was involved!"
As he spoke, Feng Huacheng stood up, bent down, and sincerely apologized to Zhou Bingkun: "Bingkun, I'm sorry, this is all my responsibility! If you have any grievances, take them out on me. Zhou Rong is your sister, she cares about you a lot, don't misunderstand her."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingkun gave Feng Huacheng a thumbs up: "As expected of a cultured person, you make it seem like the responsibility is on my shoulders with just a few words. I admire you!"
Zhou Rong, enraged, said, "Zhou Bingkun, what else do you want? Huacheng has already apologized to you, what more do you want? Do you want me to kneel down before you, or for me to be locked up too, before you're happy?"
"Zhou Rong, shut up!" Zhou Bingyi couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily, "It's clearly your fault, why are you still acting like this? You really are... cough cough!"
Hao Dongmei quickly patted Zhou Bingyi on the back, signaling him not to be angry.
Li Suhua sighed and looked at Zhou Rong, saying, "Rong'er, you were definitely in the wrong! You should apologize to Bingkun, not do this... Sigh!"
Both sons are her flesh and blood, but the thought of her youngest son's suffering made her even more heartbroken.
The younger son helped his daughter raise her child, but the daughter ended up harming him instead. No wonder the younger son treats his daughter this way!
Seeing that Zhou Bingyi and Li Suhua were both on Zhou Bingkun's side, Zhou Rong even felt wronged.
He shut his mouth right then and there!
"Old man!" Seeing that her daughter remained silent, Li Suhua hoped that Zhou Zhigang would step forward to uphold justice.
Zhou Zhigang placed his hands on the table, looked at Zhou Bingkun, and asked in a deep voice, "Bingkun, what do you want me to do to satisfy you?"
Zhou Zhigang's question not only baffled Zhou Bingkun, but also left everyone else in disbelief.
Li Suhua asked him to uphold justice, but he instead passed the problem on to Zhou Bingkun.
What kind of support for justice is this?
What Zhou Bingkun just said is absolutely right; he is truly biased and unable to distinguish right from wrong!
After regaining his senses, Zhou Bingkun decided not to give his father any face: "Dad, if you want me to say it, it's very simple! Just do as she just said. As long as she kneels down and apologizes to me, I might forgive her."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhigang's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Li Suhua playfully slapped Zhou Bingkun, saying, "Bingkun, what are you saying in anger?"
"Mom, I wasn't saying that out of anger!" Zhou Bingkun looked at Li Su seriously and said, "For everything Zhou Rong did to me, making her kneel down and apologize to me would be too lenient for her! Do you know how I got through those days when I was locked up? If it weren't for Teacher Shao and the others doing their best to help me out, I don't know what I would have become when I got out!"
Seeing her youngest son, who had always been very docile towards her, now so resolute, Li Suhua felt a pang of sadness.
The children have grown up, and many things are no longer within the mother's control.
Zhou Rong said angrily, "Impossible! Zhou Bingkun, you're dreaming! Even if you beat me to death, I will never apologize to you, much less kneel down before you!"
Feng Huacheng also seemed to feel humiliated, suppressing his anger as he said, "Bingkun, although this matter is between you and Zhou Rong, the cause was ultimately mine. I can apologize to you, but for you to make Zhou Rong kneel down and apologize to you is a bit too much!"
“Excessive?” Zhou Bingkun scoffed disdainfully. “I have even more excessive things to say that I haven’t mentioned yet! Besides, this is the kind of method you have to use to deal with selfish people like you!”
Zhou Rong glared fiercely at Zhou Bingkun: "Zhou Bingkun, you think I'll kneel down and apologize to you? Dream on! I'd rather sever all ties with you!"
"You said it yourself!" Zhou Bingkun smiled happily, then turned to Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, now Zhou Rong wants to sever ties with me, what do you say?"
Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou Zhigang was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Seeing Zhou Zhigang fall silent, Zhou Bingkun was not going to let him off so easily: "Dad, you are the head of the family. Zhou Rong wants to sever ties with me. What do you say?"
Zhou Zhigang was breathing heavily with anger. He knew that Zhou Bingkun was deliberately provoking him: "Zhou Bingkun, are you only satisfied when you really make me angry to death?"
"Dad, I just said I wanted to sever ties with her, and you were so angry you wanted to kill me and even disown me!" Zhou Bingkun looked at Zhou Zhigang with a half-smile. "But now that Zhou Rong wants to sever ties with me, instead of saying you'll sever ties with her, you're saying I'm going to make you angry to death?"
"So, does that mean anything related to Zhou Rong is my fault?!"
Chapter 229, Shut Up, Feng Huacheng! (Please Subscribe!)
Zhou Zhigang remained silent.
Seeing that Zhou Zhigang remained silent, Zhou Bingkun turned to Li Suhua and said, "Mom, I know you want the whole family to have a happy New Year, and I want to fulfill your wish. But I just can't help it. You're really taking advantage of an honest person!"
“Bingkun…” Li Suhua didn’t know what to say for a moment.
She could naturally see Zhou Zhigang's favoritism.
She used to think it was nothing, that it was okay to spoil a girl.
But what Zhou Rong is doing now is really going too far!
Moreover, Zhou Zhigang's attitude towards his daughter and son as a father is truly heartbreaking!
Zhou Rong glared at Zhou Bingkun, indignant, and said, "Zhou Bingkun, who's bullying an honest person? Who's bullying you? You're the one bullying them now..."
From beginning to end, she never felt that she had done anything wrong.
Bang! .
Zhou Rong's voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a loud slap.
Zhou Bingkun slapped Zhou Rong so hard she fell to the ground!
Zhou Rong lay on the ground, completely stunned!
So does everyone else.
The entire living room fell silent; everyone was dumbfounded.
Finally, the intense pain brought Zhou Rong back to her senses.
She scrambled to her feet and charged at Zhou Bingkun, baring her teeth and claws: "Zhou Bingkun, if you dare hit me, I'll fight you to the death!"
But before she could get close to Zhou Bingkun, he slapped her again.
Snapped!
The immense force caused Zhou Rong to lose control of her body and fall to the ground again.
Fortunately, Feng Huacheng reacted quickly and caught her.
Zhou Rong covered her face, looking aggrieved, and said to Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, "Dad, Mom, did you see that? Zhou Bingkun actually hit me! He actually hit me!"
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua then came to their senses and looked at Zhou Rong, who was covering her face, with heartache on their faces.
However, upon seeing the enraged Zhou Bingkun, Li Suhua restrained herself and turned her head away with tears in her eyes.
But Zhou Zhigang wasn't so good-tempered!
He stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and threw it at Zhou Bingkun.
With Zhou Bingkun's current combat strength approaching the third tier, Zhou Zhigang's thrown wine glass naturally wouldn't hit him.
Seeing Zhou Bingkun casually catch the cup he had thrown and put it back on the table, Zhou Zhigang became even angrier: "Zhou Bingkun, you...you're going to defy the heavens!"
Looking at the furious Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingkun slowly said, "Dad, to put it bluntly, you're the one who single-handedly caused things to turn out this way!"
"If you hadn't repeatedly indulged Zhou Rong, would she have become like this? Would I have gone this far?"
Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou Zhigang felt his head buzzing.
After a long pause, she looked at Zhou Bingkun in a hoarse voice and asked, "Zhou Bingkun, in your eyes, all of this is my fault, isn't it?"
“Yes!” Zhou Bingkun replied without hesitation.
Li Suhua, Zhou Bingyi, and Zheng Juan all wanted to stop Zhou Bingkun, but Zhou Zhigang stopped them: "Let him speak! I want to see what he can say."
"Fine, since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you!" Zhou Bingkun said without any politeness. "Dad, from 1969 until now, you've only come back twice, but on both occasions, did you say a single kind word to me?"
"Yes, I didn't go to the countryside. In your eyes, I'm the one who's enjoying a good life."
"But don't you know why I stayed at home? Zhou Rong secretly ran away from home, that's why I stayed at home, it's not that I wanted to stay at home and enjoy myself!"
"Over the years, I wouldn't say I've taken excellent care of Mom, but at least I haven't let her suffer! But you've come back twice, and both times you've made Mom unhappy?"
Zhou Zhigang was embarrassed and angrily retorted, "How dare you say that? Look at what you've done! You got married secretly without consulting me and moved out without my permission. Do you even respect me as your father?"
"You don't even respect your father just because I didn't discuss my marriage with you?" Zhou Bingkun sneered. "Then does Zhou Rong respect your father just because she eloped with a stranger who's more than ten years her senior?"
Zhou Bingkun sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, you only have Zhou Rong in your eyes and don't care about me as your son at all. I won't have any expectations of you anymore!"
"But you're my dad! I can't say anything no matter how you treat me. But Zhou Rong is different. She has no right to treat me like this. She's a selfish and ungrateful wretch!"
"You're the ingrate!" Zhou Rong covered her cheeks and shouted angrily at Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingkun shot her a cold glare, which startled her so much that she quickly shut her mouth, afraid that Zhou Bingkun would come over and hit her again.
Feng Huacheng naturally couldn't stand Zhou Bingkun's words about Zhou Rong: "Bingkun, this is our first meeting, I shouldn't have said that to you, but..."
"Since you know you shouldn't say it, then shut your mouth! In this family, you have the least right to speak, so shut up!" Zhou Bingkun didn't give Feng Huacheng any face at all. "Zhou Rong is an ingrate, and you're no better!"
"Zhou Rong started writing to you when you were in the second year of junior high, right? How old were you then? How old was she?"
"I really don't know how you could do that, ugh, disgusting!"
It's impossible that Feng Huacheng didn't actively respond to Zhou Rong's running away from home.
Therefore, Zhou Bingkun truly looked down on Feng Huacheng.
Feng Huacheng blushed deeply after Zhou Bingkun's words. He could clearly sense how strange the Zhou family members were looking at him now.
Hao Dongmei's gaze was filled with undisguised contempt.
When Zhou Rong was in the second year of junior high school, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Although this age is a time of youthful infatuation, it's still understandable if you and a boy of similar age have mutual feelings for each other.
But how old was Feng Huacheng back then?
He was more than ten years older than Zhou Rong, and at that time he was at least twenty-six or twenty-seven years old!
The thought of a 26- or 27-year-old man exchanging letters with a 14- or 15-year-old girl and starting a long-distance relationship is disgusting.
Seeing the strange looks everyone was giving Feng Huacheng, Zhou Rong quickly explained, "Zhou Bingkun, don't talk nonsense! Dad, Mom, it's not what you think, Huacheng and I are..."
Seeing her parents' impatient expressions, Zhou Bingyi immediately spoke up to stop them: "Alright, Zhou Rong, stop talking!"
Even he couldn't stand it anymore, let alone Zhou Rong's parents who had always doted on her.
Zhou Zhigang felt utterly exhausted. He looked at Zhou Bingkun and asked in a deep voice, "Zhou Bingkun, is it only when Xiao Rong kneels down and apologizes to you that you will forgive her?"
Chapter 230, Zhou Rong, you and Feng Huacheng get out of here right now! (Please subscribe!)
"Dad, you've misunderstood! I told her to kneel down and apologize, but I didn't say I would definitely forgive her!" Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Zhigang with a serious expression. "With her current attitude, even if she kneels down before me, I will absolutely not forgive her!"
“Zhou Bingkun!” Zhou Zhigang roared in fury.
