Chapter 861: Chapter 860: Possessed by a Shrew
Madam Zhou was already feeling annoyed and angry because of Wu Lihongâs words, and now hearing Zhou Xuennianâs questioning, she immediately felt the fire in her heart.
"Big Brother?" Madam Zhou turned around abruptly, glaring at Zhou Xuennian with a cold smile and asked, "I want to ask, what face do you think you have to act like a big brother in front of me, Big Brother?"
Zhou Xuennian was taken aback.
"Have you forgotten the words you said when you personally came to drive us mother and daughter away?" Madam Zhou said sarcastically, "You may have forgotten, but I havenât. Do you need me to remind you?"
"I once asked you if you wanted to disregard the sibling bond, and it was you who didnât want it. You told us to leave. So now, you call yourself my big brother? According to what? Who gave you the face!" Madam Zhou approached step by step: "You thought I was weak and easy to bully, that you could step on me, scold me, and I couldnât fight back. Hitting my left cheek wasnât enough, you thought I should offer my right cheek for you to hit too, is that it? According to what!"
"You, you..." Zhou Xuennian looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, unable to believe that the domineering woman in front of him was his once meek sister.
"For so many years, havenât you bullied me enough? Now you still want to manipulate me and bully me? Dream on!" Madam Zhouâs face was ferocious: "Big Brother? Ha. If it wasnât for seeing that we mother and daughter had become successful, would you call yourself my big brother? If it wasnât for seeing that Mr. Wu had returned and gained official rank, would you recognize me as your sister? Zhou Xuennian, let me tell you, donât think everyone is a fool. I may be naive, but not stupid!"
Zhou Xuennian was pointed at and scolded sharply, causing his face to turn red and his ears to burn. He sat down heavily on a chair.
"You so-called relatives only know how to scheme against us mother and daughter. It was like this before, and itâs still like this now. Do you think I donât know? If it werenât for motherâs sake, do you think you could sit here and yell at me like a big shot?" Madam Zhou sneered: "Stubbornly staying here, isnât it because of Mr. Wu? How you want to scheme is your business, but you canât command me. Because you are not worthy!"
After venting, Madam Zhou felt completely comfortable, feeling as if the suffocating air in her heart had dissipated a bit, especially seeing the person in front of her, who had never given her a good face over the past ten years, now being scolded by her. The feeling was extremely satisfying.
Zhou Xuennian was very shocked. If the person in front of him wasnât truly Zhou Yingmei, he would have thought it was an imposter because this was just like a shrew taking possession!
Madam Zhouâs sudden outburst made Qiu Xiang also feel very surprised. Indeed, people only change when they are stimulated, right? Such an overbearing attitude, it really has some traces of a girl!
Zhou Xuennian looked at Madam Zhouâs disdainful eyes, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly, filled with discomfort, but at least he knew that in the current situation, it wasnât his turn to act like a big boss. He forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Iâm, Iâm doing this for your own good, right? If I didnât consider you my own sister, do you think I would care for you?"
"Whether itâs for my good or your own good, you know in your heart." Madam Zhou mocked.
A trace of embarrassment crossed Zhou Xuennianâs face and he said, "Did I say something wrong? Youâve waited for Wu Lihong all these years, suffered for so long, and donât you know it yourself? Now that heâs back, the clouds have parted to reveal the moon, and youâre acting capriciously? Ying Mei, youâre not a young girl anymore, youâre already middle-aged. Do you think youâre still young? If you donât hold onto him now while he still has feelings for you, if you act out and drive him away, will that make you happy?"
