Seeing his sisters targeting him like this, Zhao Tianqi, who hadn't yet integrated into the Zhao family, suddenly felt lost and helpless.
Previously, Zhao Guohua and Bai Yuxiu were the leaders in this family, and they would always protect Zhao Tianqi.
So, no matter what, he was still the most favored and the most relied-upon one in the family.
But now that Zhao Guohua and his wife have fallen, all his support has vanished.
He never felt familiar with or belonged in this house.
He came to Shanghai entirely because he couldn't make it in Beijing anymore.
When it comes to emotional foundation, he's not as good as Zhao Ziyun, who has lived in this house for over ten years.
So, faced with his sisters' questioning, he could only deny it with weak words, but no one would listen to him at that moment.
"Zhao Tianqi, don't think that just because you have the surname Zhao, we'll accept you."
“If your parents hadn’t insisted on bringing you back, we wouldn’t have wanted another incompetent brother like you in our family.”
"If I were you, I should take the initiative to apologize to Zhao Chen. Regardless of whether he accepts it or not, you should make your attitude clear first."
"You've been using someone else's identity for over a decade, have you ever said sorry to them?"
"Also, I heard that you were not well-liked by your family in the capital."
"Your doting mother is gone, who do you think will still care about you?"
"Only our parents will protect you. But now they are both in the hospital because of you. One was so angry that he vomited blood, and the other fainted from anger."
"In this situation, if you don't do something, I'll think you don't even deserve to be called a human being!"
At this moment, Zhao Ruxi, the eldest of all the sisters, couldn't help but say something.
Now that her eldest sister has passed away, her second sister has naturally become the most authoritative one.
Although the second sister, Zhao Ruxi, does not manage the family business like the eldest sister, she has already started her own career.
She has a very good design company, and the business is doing quite well.
Moreover, like Zhao Luke, although she relied on the influence of her family to achieve twice the result with half the effort, she mainly relied on her own efforts.
Therefore, what she despises most are those rich kids who do nothing all day and live off their families.
The man in front of her, Zhao Tianqi, was exactly the type she hated most. Not only was he ignorant and incompetent, but he was also arrogant and self-righteous.
Compared to Zhao Chen, Zhao Tianqi is utterly useless.
Now Zhao Ruxi truly regrets it. She misjudged Zhao Chen back then, thinking he was just a fatso. She never expected that after leaving the Zhao family in Shanghai, he would create such an amazing career on his own.
This attracted the attention of the Zhao family in the capital, which eventually led to the exposure of the "Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat" incident.
All of this demonstrates Zhao Chen's strength and ability.
That's why, in comparison, Zhao Tianqi was even less likely to catch the eyes of these women, since there were already outstanding examples to compare him to.
In their minds, Zhao Tianqi was not even as good as Zhao Ziyun.
At this point, Zhao Ziyun stepped in as a peacemaker:
"Sisters, please calm down. Brother didn't mean this either. Now we should stand together and get through this together."
"Our most urgent task is to figure out how to wake up Mom and Dad first."
"Otherwise, if this continues, we really won't have any chance to fight back..."
Upon hearing this, Fifth Sister Zhao Ziyao shook her head and said with a wry smile, "What can we possibly do to fight back?"
"It's already a huge favor that they're not taking advantage of our misfortune any longer."
"Actually, I think it would be pointless to have Zhao Tianqi go over and apologize."
"Zhao Chen said he would fight us to the death; he's determined to destroy our family..."
Upon hearing this, the third sister, Zhao Yunlan, broke down in tears, saying, "Does he hate us that much? Does he really have no feelings for us at all?"
Upon hearing her words, the other sisters fell silent.
Of all the people, the third sister Zhao Yunlan was the most harsh on Zhao Chen, and she used all sorts of methods to target him. Zhao Ziyun also did a lot of things to trick her.
They weren't unaware of these things. They just felt that Zhao Chen didn't deserve fair treatment from them.
People are naturally biased; they will naturally show favoritism towards the people and things they like.
Back then, they all disliked Zhao Chen, just as they dislike Zhao Tianqi now.
Thinking about it now, I'm filled with regret...
At this point, the Zhao sisters fell silent once again.
It seems they really have no way to fight against Zhao Chen.
Forget about confronting them, they didn't even have a chance to say a word to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Lu couldn't help but say directly:
"How about we be open and honest and take this matter to the media?"
"By releasing this information now and putting him under moral pressure, there might still be room for maneuver!"
"With so many media outlets and the public witnessing the event, Zhao Chen will be more hesitant to act rashly."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruxi immediately objected:
"This method won't work. The influence in Beijing is too great, and the media certainly won't dare to say much."
"Which media outlet will speak up for us now?"
"Even if some media outlets dare to speak out, can't the Zhao family in Beijing use the media to deal with us?"
“If we were to reveal those past events, we would be even more desperate and no one would be willing to help us.”
In this era, the internet is not yet highly developed; it's still in its early stages. Print media and television media still wield significant influence.
Therefore, Zhao Luke, who was in the entertainment industry, immediately thought of this method: using the power of public media as leverage, she might still have a chance to turn the tables.
However, her second sister's words immediately poured cold water on her.
Honestly, if the internet were more developed in later generations, Zhao Luke's method might have really worked wonders if it had been promoted online.
People online are often easily misled and can easily make wrong judgments after being deliberately misled.
Public opinion will likely be overwhelmingly against Zhao Chen, and it will probably take some effort to calm things down.
But there's no such online environment right now. The media they want to use are more likely to be influenced by the Zhao family, which will put them in an even more passive position.
"If this won't work, and that won't work, are we really just waiting to die now?"
"Zhao Chen wants to destroy our family, and he's already more than halfway there."
“My eldest sister is gone. Our family was already broken, and now Mom and Dad are in the hospital. If this happens a few more times, they might not wake up. Isn’t that just fulfilling Zhao Chen’s wish?”
Zhao Ziyun was also in a panic at this moment.
He never expected things to develop to this point.
He never expected that the person he had been targeting so hard was actually a young master from the capital.
He had already been severely suppressed by Zhao Chen, and he had originally thought that by leaving his old environment, he could start over. At the very least, he could study hard, acquire skills, and continue to work in the Zhao family's company.
But now he feels that Zhao Chen might not give him that chance again...
