But the truth is so baffling: the Qian family withdrew from the capital's social circles more than forty years ago, and even back then, the two families had never been at odds!
But it's unreasonable for the Qian family to target the Zhao family as soon as they return!
Upon closer examination, it's clear that the Qian family wasn't targeting the entire Zhao family; they made no attempt to hide their actions and instead targeted Old Master Zhao's daughter, Zhao Lan.
Is it to make an example of someone?
But who exactly is the monkey?
Zhao Shuai's face stiffened for a moment before he finally found his voice:
"I understand, I'll hang up now, bro."
However, the call seemed to end even faster, almost at the same time Zhao Shuai finished speaking.
Looking at his younger cousin, Gu Yujin had heard everything clearly since the call had been on speakerphone.
"Which family is the Qian family?"
Indeed, Gu Yujin probably had never even heard of the Qian family's decision to retire from public life forty years ago.
"One of the four major families in the past."
Gu Yujin frowned:
"What my cousin said... Cousin, are you very familiar with the Qian family?"
"We're not exactly close!"
Look, they've turned on their own people without even a warning or warning.
Zhao Shuai harbored resentment towards his friend, after all, although Zhao Lan was the old man's illegitimate daughter whom he brought home, she was still his aunt by blood.
From childhood to adulthood, over the years, this aunt has been quite good to the Zhao family.
Just then, there was a knock on the door:
"Brother Zhao, someone is looking for you outside the gate."
Zhao Shuai stepped forward, opened the door, and asked directly:
"Did you say what your name is?"
The visitor shook his head:
"I didn't say anything, but I want to see you, Brother Zhao."
Wow, so confident, huh?
Do you think you'll definitely be able to see him?
Believe it or not, Zhao Shuai actually decided to go!
Naturally, we need to see who this confident person is.
In the office, Gu Yujin was clearly still deep in thought. Zhao Shuai didn't say anything either, and after glancing at him, he left with the newcomer.
I walked quite quickly from the office to the main gate of Institute X, taking less than two minutes.
Outside the door, a figure stood there with his head down, as if flowers were growing at his feet.
From afar, Zhao Shuai could clearly see who was standing there. His expression turned somewhat cold, but he still walked forward:
"You were looking for me?" The tone wasn't exactly friendly.
Ha, they attacked us without a word, what a load of rubbish! The only reason we haven't attacked them yet is because of our past relationship.
The visitor was Qian You, who was quite understanding of his friend's unfriendly attitude.
It should be noted that the plan to take action against Zhao Lan was devised and orchestrated by Qian You.
Apart from Qian You, the rest of the Qian family members are in the education or civil service system, so they can't just act casually. Only Qian You has that ability.
This kid isn't very old, but he's built a pretty big business. Zhao Lan's little business is nothing compared to Qian You's.
It's easy to imagine just how big Qian You's business is!
"Hey, Lao Zhao, don't blame me. This is all something your aunt owed herself. I'm just taking back what I should take back," Qian You explained.
But this explanation is worse than no explanation at all.
What do you mean by saying that Zhao Lan owed it herself?
Zhao Shuai glanced at it:
"Alright, then tell me the specifics. How did my aunt get involved with your Qian family? Are you sure your Qian family isn't deliberately making an example of us Zhao family members?"
