Meanwhile, Shen Qingyue had already met the person she had been longing for at the airport.
To be honest, she never expected Zhao Chen to arrive so quickly.
In fact, Zhao Chen only had one day to prepare.
The gifts he prepared for Shen Baichuan were quite special; they weren't anything expensive, but the sentiment behind them was what mattered.
This also made Shen Qingyue very curious.
"How did you know my dad's preferences? He'll probably love the gift you gave him this time."
Shen Qingyue found it amazing to see what Zhao Chen was holding.
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Since I want to be with you, I naturally have to do my homework. I don't just come here casually."
“A large family like your Shen family is not a place that ordinary people would dare to go to. It’s just me who is here.”
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Shen Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehe, that's right, that's why I always said my Ah Chen is absolutely the best!"
"But don't worry, my dad is a very nice person, not as serious as other fathers-in-law."
"Moreover, he is also looking forward to your arrival and is very curious about your affairs."
"You don't need to hide anything, just say what you think."
"I believe that once my father sees your character, he will definitely not object to us being together."
"Besides, if he had objected, he wouldn't have asked me to come pick you up."
"So don't worry, just be flexible and handle it with a calm mind."
"My dad won't eat you."
Hearing Shen Qingyue's words, Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly.
However, thinking about it, it makes sense. He was well aware of Shen Baichuan's reputation; he was a force to be reckoned with in the capital.
However, Zhao Chen isn't even afraid of the Zhao family, so why would he be afraid of Chen Baichuan?
To be honest, there is a slight difference between the Shen family and the Zhao family, but the difference is not significant. The Shen family is only slightly inferior to the Zhao family.
Zhao Jiasheng's victory was due to the sacrifice of his sons, and his defeat was also due to the sacrifice of his sons.
Because this status is only valid for one lifetime, once Old Master Zhao passes away, the Zhao family will be completely ruined. At that time, it will be very difficult to maintain its former glory.
Because there is no next generation to take over, and only Feng Junhua, who is a son-in-law who married into the family, is simply not able to support such a large family business.
However, there is only one Zhao Tianqi in the third generation, which makes it difficult to maintain the Zhao family's past glory.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the Zhao family still looks very prosperous, with various policy benefits and resource support all directed towards them.
This is all compensation given to Old Master Zhao by the higher-ups, to make him feel a little more at ease.
Because they were also afraid that if Old Master Zhao wanted to do something, he could shake the entire East.
If it causes unnecessary turmoil, it could really have a domino effect.
Therefore, they have been trying to soothe Mr. Zhao's emotions all these years.
However, this time, even those in higher positions couldn't help but have their own doubts. Those guys had really gone too far; they dared to lay a hand on the only bloodline of the Zhao family. Would they use the same methods on them in the future?
Nobody can say for sure about these things.
However, to their surprise, the Zhao family did not retaliate but instead remained silent, which was very unlike the Zhao family's usual style.
Meanwhile, the Zhao family's enemies were also keeping a close eye on their movements.
They all speculated about what the Zhao family was planning to do.
Shen Baichuan was naturally very concerned about these matters concerning the Zhao family, because the Shen family and the Zhao family had the closest relationship.
Shen Baichuan was even Old Master Zhao's godson.
Under such circumstances, the changes in the Zhao family will also affect the future of the Shen family.
Therefore, Shen Baichuan naturally cared more, and at the same time, he was also very worried about Zhao Qiye.
He was afraid that his godfather would be affected by this incident.
Previously, Shen Baichuan had visited the old man. Fortunately, the old man was resolute and this incident did not affect him too much.
But Shen Baichuan knew very well that the Zhao family was already taking action. He just didn't know it, and he didn't want to inquire further.
If, due to his own actions, he were to leak some of the Zhao family's important plans, then the consequences would be truly inescapable.
He really wanted to help, but he also knew that this was an internal matter for the Zhao family, and whatever he did would be somewhat inappropriate.
Therefore, he could only sigh in vain.
However, before he left that day, he still said to Old Master Zhao:
"Godfather, if there's anything the Shen family needs to do, just say the word, and we'll do our duty without hesitation."
Old Master Zhao held his godson in high regard. Shen Baichuan had taken over the Shen family at a young age, and Old Master Zhao had even considered matchmaking his daughter with Shen Baichuan.
But neither of them felt any attraction to the other, and he was too embarrassed to play matchmaker.
Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; let them be.
It wasn't until he saw his daughter's behavior later that he realized it was the right choice not to let Shen Baichuan marry his daughter back then; otherwise, Shen Baichuan would have suffered so much injustice.
He knew his daughter best. In those days, living conditions were hard, so Zhao Lixuan's personality was somewhat more restrained.
Later, life got better and better, and she gave birth to a son. She devoted all her attention to her son, but for some reason, Zhao Lixuan became more and more difficult, a real drama queen.
It was because Feng Junhua was always grateful for everything the Zhao family had given him, and because he remembered his wife's passionate pursuit of him in the past, that he had been able to endure it.
Zhao Lixuan pursued him relentlessly back then, but after getting married, especially after Feng Junhua moved in with her husband, Zhao Lixuan felt that she was a cut above him.
She always tried to control Feng Junhua, but Feng Junhua was a soldier and wouldn't listen to her at all. He went on to complete one mission after another and thrived in the army.
This, in turn, made Zhao Lixuan unhappy, and her relationship with Feng Junhua gradually cooled, losing all of their former close bond.
Shen Baichuan knew some of the things that happened in the Zhao family, and now, thinking back on them, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
In any case, he shouldn't get involved in the Zhao family's affairs, but if they need his help, he will definitely do his best.
After all, the Zhao family had given him a lot of help in the past. Especially during the period when he first took control of the Shen family, it was Old Master Zhao who helped him maintain order.
That's why he was able to take over the Shen family so smoothly.
However, he found it quite interesting that the person his daughter liked also had the surname Zhao.
Shen Baichuan found it all quite strange, as if everyone closely related to him had some connection to the surname Zhao.
However, when he saw Zhao Chen, he was completely stunned on the spot...
