Although Zhao Tianqi was very unwilling to hear his biological father's words, he still did as Zhao Guohua said.
After all, Zhao Tianqi is an extreme egoist; he's willing to do anything that benefits him.
Moreover, he hadn't even had a few days to enjoy the good life at the Zhao family's place in Shanghai before he was about to be purged.
How could he possibly accept this?
As for how Zhao Lixuan managed to find Shanghai and locate the Zhao family's place so precisely.
Naturally, this is because Feng Junhua had already thoroughly investigated the Zhao Guohua family during his investigation of what happened back then.
They even presented Zhao Lixuan with some of the other party's family information.
Even after going to such lengths, Zhao Lixuan remained stubbornly attached to Zhao Tianqi.
Then there's nothing more to say about Feng Junhua.
The rest of the matter became much simpler and more straightforward: the two divorced, and the Zhao family also drove Zhao Lixuan away.
Zhao Lixuan has stormed into Shanghai in a rage, looking for someone to settle scores with.
She had prepared herself for a fierce battle, but found that Zhao Guohua was quite easy to talk to and even very politely invited her into the house.
She also saw Zhao Tianqi, the adopted son who made her very angry and disappointed.
When Zhao Lixuan saw the child, she had mixed feelings, but mostly she was angry.
As a result, Zhao Tianqi once again used all his skills, apologizing and trying to please Zhao Lixuan, and finally made Zhao Lixuan very happy.
Moreover, Zhao Tianqi offered his own excuses:
"Mom, the reason I rushed over here is partly because I do indeed have the biological parents relationship that you mentioned before."
"On the other hand, although we seem to be living a pretty good life, we know very well what we've actually been like all along."
"I came here hoping that even without the help of the Zhao family in the capital, I can still give you a good life."
"I'll bring you over after I've settled down here first."
"I'm basically stable now."
“My dad thanks you for taking care of me and raising me, and says he’d like you to live here.”
"That way we won't have to worry about the Zhao family in the capital."
Hearing Zhao Tianqi's words, Zhao Lixuan was half-believing and half-doubting. After all, she hadn't used any tricks yet, and he had already surrendered and was even trying to curry favor with her. This made her a little hesitant to believe it.
But after Zhao Guohua and Zhao Tianqi made great efforts to curry favor, Zhao Lixuan actually started to believe them.
After all, she was a woman who craved pleasure, and more importantly, Zhao Tianqi, whom she had always admired, was back under her control.
Moreover, now that Zhao Tianqi has the Zhao Group as his backing, Zhao Lixuan is still very interested.
After making careful arrangements for Zhao Lixuan's daily life, Zhao Guohua even took Zhao Lixuan to visit the Zhao Group.
They even gave her a sinecure as an honorary advisor and gave her a monthly allowance.
It makes the woman feel involved.
Zhao Lixuan was immediately completely fooled by the father and son.
She even became sisters with Bai Yuxiu, Zhao Tianqi's biological mother.
This gave Zhao Tianqi the "good treatment" of having two mothers.
Over time, Zhao Lixuan and Zhao Guohua's family came to live together like relatives, and Zhao Lixuan even moved to a place near Zhao Guohua's house.
Zhao Guohua put in a lot of effort to keep this woman in check.
Once everything was in order, he finally revealed his purpose.
“Lixuan, look, you’ve been here with us for quite a while now, and Tianqi is making more and more progress.”
"But we have another big problem now, and that is your Zhao family in the capital!"
"The core of this problem ultimately lies with your own son, Zhao Chen."
"There's a misunderstanding between us about this. We were misled and accidentally switched the two children; it wasn't intentional."
"But the capital keeps pressing this point. We've been trying to make peace, and look at the mess we've made..."
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's words, Zhao Lixuan immediately thought of her own son, who had put her in such a passive and difficult situation.
As her own biological son, she gets angry just thinking about it. She really doesn't like this kind of child who can't be controlled.
Sometimes, even children born to the same parents can show some favoritism.
Zhao Lixuan may have some grudge against Zhao Chen from a past life, because even knowing that her own son is in this state, she is still unhappy.
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's words, Zhao Lixuan felt that she should at least get to know Zhao Chen properly, no matter what.
“Alright, since you’ve already said so, Brother Guohua, then I’m even more determined to meet that child.”
"Actually, I've wanted to meet him for a long time. After all, he's my son, so he should at least listen to what I have to say."
"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. As things stand, this is good enough."
"If he can put aside his prejudices, wouldn't it be a very good thing if our two families could reconcile?"
“We have a family in Beijing, and your Zhao family in Shanghai. Isn’t that a great thing?”
"I refuse to believe that those old men in the family can't do the math!"
Zhao Lixuan was well taken care of in Shanghai for a few days, and returned to her former life of luxury and wealth, which greatly satisfied her both physically and mentally.
She was enjoying herself, feeling that coming to Shanghai to find her son was the right decision.
She wanted to show those old men in her family that she could live a good life even without the Zhao family!
She is still highly regarded.
During this period, she also gave the Zhao Group several important suggestions.
She felt that she had created new value in her life, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
She even regretted that she should have come with her son in the first place, which would have saved her from all the messy trouble.
But she didn't realize that these things weren't due to her talent, but rather that people were deliberately coaxing her into seeing such scenes.
Now that their true intentions have been revealed, she is still smugly pleased with herself.
Zhao Guohua couldn't help but curse the stupid woman in his heart; she really was stupid to the extreme.
However, Zhao Guohua knew that his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain since Zhao Lixuan agreed to this, and he showed a victorious smile.
It's time to cause Zhao Chen some trouble.
Otherwise, if Zhao Chen continues to target them, their family will never have a peaceful day, which is a very troublesome matter.
Especially since their daughter had foolishly provoked Zhao Chen again, putting them in a very passive position.
Things have eased up a bit now. With that stupid woman Zhao Lixuan leading the charge, she'll definitely give Zhao Chen a run for his money.
