Chapter 172 Returning to the Capital



Zhao Chen suddenly discovered that watching his enemy's family fall apart from an outsider's perspective was quite an interesting process.

The eldest sister, Zhao Siyu, is gone. You could say she was heartless and selfish, but Zhao Chen doesn't think she did anything wrong.

Just as he himself had done a lot for Zhao Guohua's family, he knew better than anyone what his fate would be.

Therefore, he was particularly able to understand Zhao Siyu's decision to leave.

Now, three of his five daughters have left, and Zhao Ziyun, who once caused him all sorts of misunderstandings and slander, has also been kicked out of the Zhao family.

Zhao Chen was quite looking forward to seeing what would happen next.

Because he vaguely sensed that Zhao Tianqi was about to make a move.

Zhao Tianqi developed the temperament of a spoiled young master from his upbringing in the capital.

After returning to Shanghai, because his older sister doted on Zhao Ziyun, he often had arguments with this so-called younger brother.

He wondered why his sister, who was his own sister, was so close to this boy and so distant from him.

Moreover, the Zhao family doesn't have much asset left.

When the time comes, will that brat want a share of his family fortune?

Zhao Tianqi is no longer the young master he used to be in the capital, and he no longer has the confidence to think he can squander money at will.

He wants to keep all the resources in his own hands, and if anyone tries to touch his things, they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Zhao Ziyun is clearly not someone to be trifled with, and he once understood the care his parents had for him.

After several rounds, Zhao Tianqi had the upper hand; after all, a real biological son is different.

In addition, due to the fact that their fates were switched over the years, Zhao Guohua and his wife both felt that they owed their biological son something.

Bai Yuxiu, in particular, had sent Zhao Tianqi away long ago and had been feeling uneasy ever since.

That's why he treated Zhao Chen so harshly when he brought Zhao Chen home.

Because he felt that Zhao Chen was the one who caused his separation from his child.

But they never consider that they were the ones who robbed Zhao Chen of his life. They were not wrong; instead, they blamed Zhao Chen.

No wonder Zhao Chen ultimately exacted severe revenge on them.

Zhao Chen was eager to see if Zhao Ziyun, as the protagonist of the element, would still have the protagonist's halo after the two so-called brothers turned against each other.

It's time to let Zhao Tianqi teach Zhao Ziyun a lesson; using someone else to do the dirty work is quite effective.

Zhao Chen himself had already made preparations and returned to the capital with Shen Qingyue.

When Zhao Chen returned to Beijing this time, he naturally received the highest level of hospitality from the Zhao family.

Regardless of whether other branches of the Zhao family have any objections, as the main branch of the Zhao family, they have their own confidence.

Zhao Chen naturally had no objections, since these people would be his help and his strength in the future.

At this moment, Zhao Chen felt as if everything in front of him was a dream.

Having lived three lifetimes, his final identity is so superior.

At first, he thought he was an orphan, but he didn't think much of it. After all, he had always lived like this and had never longed for family affection.

Now that he has all of this, he feels that he has lived a fulfilling life.

Since we have such good conditions, let's make the most of them!

As for Shen Qingyue, although he really wanted to go with Zhao Chen, he still had things to do at the Shen family, so Zhao Chen saw him off first.

Then we went back to the Zhao family's place.

Although neither set of parents had any objections to his relationship with Shen Qingyue.

This is great news, and both sides are eager for the young couple to get married as soon as possible.

The Zhao family hopes to finalize this matter after Zhao Chen has been recognized as a member of the Zhao clan.

The Shen family had no objections, and things took their natural course.

So, all that was left for Zhao Chen to do was deal with the angry members of the Zhao family's collateral branches.

Back at the Zhao family's headquarters, Zhao Chen met several of the most important men in the Zhao family again, but one of them surprised him a little.

That was Zhao Lixuan, who had returned very late.

Zhao Chen didn't have any particular thoughts about this woman.

It all depends on what the old man thinks.

Sure enough, the old man asked tentatively:

"Xiao Chen, your mother knows she was wrong. Give her a chance to mend the relationship between the merchants."

“I know she did a lot of wrong things in the past and hurt you.”

"But now, she has truly changed. As the saying goes, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them..."

Zhao Chen didn't actually have many feelings for Zhao Lixuan.

Although this woman was his biological mother, he had never had any dealings with her.

Even later, when she wanted to say something to herself, she was immediately interrupted.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Lixuan did not affect him or cause him any real harm.

However, Zhao Lixuan clung to Zhao Tianqi relentlessly, even though she knew he was a fake, and still maintained this attitude, just like Zhao Chen looked down on him.

However, now that they have reconciled, Zhao Chen won't act too badly, but he also won't be too enthusiastic. The maximum he can do now is to avoid disturbing each other.

Therefore, Zhao Chen simply said:

"What happens to Ms. Zhao is none of my business. Let's just leave each other alone in the future."

"I still have a lot to do, Grandpa, you know that."

"I came back today just to report to my father, grandfather, and third uncle about my work."

Hearing Zhao Chen say this, the men present breathed a slight sigh of relief, as they were most afraid that Zhao Chen would turn on them on the spot.

The family relationship that had just been repaired was instantly plunged back into a freezing point, which is a bit troublesome.

They could also tell that Zhao Chen was only being kind to Zhao Lixuan because of them.

It's clearly impossible to get Zhao Chen to accept Zhao Lixuan right away.

However, Zhao Lixuan has also changed a lot. She is no longer as willful as before, and she is no longer bossy. She seems to have figured out a lot of things all at once.

His entire personality changed, and this change was different. The elders of the Zhao family were very happy.

To be honest, Zhao Lixuan was favored by the Zhao family for so long, and their feelings were actually very complicated.

Seeing Zhao Lixuan's improvement made them happier than anyone else; this was the best possible outcome.

Now that Zhao Chen is giving them this much face, they feel that things are getting better and better.

So, although there's still some distance between Zhao Lixuan and Zhao Chen, they can at least get along.

Zhao Lixuan was overjoyed by this progress.

Today, she had already prepared for the worst.

She even considered skipping Zhao Chen's welcome banquet, but the old man said that these things had to be faced sooner or later, so she came in the end.

Although Zhao Chen's attitude remains indifferent, she has seen an opportunity.

However, Zhao Chen had no intention of paying attention to her at the moment, because in a couple of days he would be facing those old men from the collateral branches.
