Once this news got out, the first person to get restless was naturally Zhao Tianqi, the fake himself.
But the other three men in the family were even more restless.
What do men value most? It's face!
What do powerful and influential families value most? Face, of course.
If their child had been switched at birth eighteen years ago, and they were completely unaware, even raising the other family's child, such a thing would be an utter disgrace for a large family like theirs!
The real head of the Zhao family, Old Master Zhao Qiye, naturally received the news immediately.
His good son-in-law, Feng Junhua, whom he treated like his own son, also received word of the news.
Feng Junhua came to the old man's place immediately.
At the same time, his only remaining son, Zhao Qilong, who was already disabled, also came to the old man.
Speaking of Zhao Qilong, it is also a source of pain for Old Master Zhao.
Zhao Qiye had three sons and one daughter in his lifetime.
His three sons were all outstanding soldiers, and the Zhao family was once very prominent because of these three excellent men.
However, during a special mission, his three sons joined forces, and what they thought was a sure thing turned out to be unexpected.
The end result was that only one of his three sons returned, and that son was crippled and, due to a vital injury, would never be able to have children again.
However, this incident also saved the country from significant losses.
However, this came at the cost of two dead and one crippled member of the Zhao family!
Therefore, the Zhao family has achieved its current status in the capital and among the upper echelons of society.
Many bigwigs believe that those at the top owe the Zhao family something.
This is the real reason why Zhao Tianqi was able to run rampant in the capital and why so many second-generation rich kids wanted to curry favor with him.
After all, with such a golden shield, as long as Zhao Tianqi doesn't do anything reckless, he will enjoy endless wealth and luxury for the rest of his life.
This is the only remaining bloodline of the Zhao family, so it is naturally extremely precious.
However, with such rumors circulating, the entire upper echelons of the capital were dumbfounded.
After all, everyone has seen how much the Zhao family dotes on this child.
Zhao Lixuan, the only daughter of the Zhao family, especially dotes on this son.
You can't hit or scold them, you just have to spoil them.
Their son is the best.
If it is ultimately confirmed that Zhao Tianqi is not the biological son of the Zhao family, what will become of them?
In fact, Zhao Qiye had long been dissatisfied with his grandson.
This Zhao Tianqi has none of the spirit of a man from the Zhao family. He's like a sissy, always whining and loves being fawned over.
Grandpa Zhao was very displeased with this. He had long wanted to bring this brat under his wing and teach him a lesson.
As a result, every time he was about to take action, his daughter would frantically stop him:
"Father, this is my precious son whom I risked my life for. How can you treat him like this? If you want to discipline him, then I will do it. I will raise him well."
"Anyway, you can't scold him, and you definitely can't hit him. Tianqi is my lifeline!"
“He is my good son, how could he possibly have any bad intentions?”
Every time Zhao Qiye saw this, he would tremble with anger, and in the end, he could only say, "A doting mother spoils her son!"
After going back and forth like this a few times, he couldn't bear to watch anymore, and he had no energy left to bother with it.
The old man simply decided to avoid seeing or hearing about Zhao Tianqi's affairs and rarely bothered with them anymore.
Anyway, even if this brat is bad, he can't be that bad.
Moreover, no matter what, the Zhao family's resources and education will be tilted towards their grandson.
It's possible to correct his behavior in some ways, more or less.
Regardless, this kid's future is definitely much better than others.
Zhao Tianqi not only had a lukewarm relationship with his grandfather, but also with his father and uncles...
Because he truly lacked the spirit and courage of the men of the Zhao family.
All three men in the family felt that Zhao Lixuan was spoiling her son too much.
However, as the only princess of the Zhao family, Zhao Lixuan was spoiled and pampered from childhood, and was spoiled and willful, and would not listen to other people's advice at all.
But in the end, she didn't really have any bad intentions, she was just a little stubborn.
Zhao Qiye also knew that his daughter had paid a heavy price for giving birth to this child, and in the end, she was unable to have children for the rest of her life. This was somewhat related to some of the decisions he had made back then.
Therefore, he also felt guilty towards his only daughter.
Therefore, Grandpa Zhao couldn't bear to continue contradicting his daughter, and that's how things ended up.
As for Feng Junhua, he also wanted to discipline the child properly, but he had many conflicts with his wife due to disagreements.
In the end, Feng Junhua couldn't bear to look at the child anymore because he was so unambitious, so he could only focus on his career and couldn't be bothered to care about him anymore.
As for the disabled Zhao Qilong, Zhao Tianqi never took this third uncle seriously.
Why should we treat a paralyzed man who has to rely on the Zhao family for support?
This is the relationship between Zhao Tianqi and the pillars of the Zhao family.
So, upon hearing this news, Feng Junhua immediately rushed off to find his father-in-law:
"Father, have you heard? What happened to Tianqi..."
Zhao Qiye's brows furrowed deeply at this moment. He could understand Feng Junhua's attitude.
After all, Feng Junhua had never been able to feel close to this child since he was a child.
"Junhua, let's not panic. We need to find evidence. If Tianqi really isn't a child of the Zhao family, then where is our child? That's the most important question!"
At first, Zhao Qiye was worried that Feng Junhua was acting this way because he harbored resentment over marrying into the family.
But after spending a long time together, he realized that things were not like that.
Feng Junhua is a very decent person and has never thought of anything else.
Moreover, he has always been deeply grateful for his father-in-law's support.
Therefore, he never had any complaints about the Zhao family.
Feng Junhua's parents have passed away, and he has long since separated from his elder brother. He lives alone and gets along very well with his father-in-law's family.
He was deeply grateful for the support and guidance he had received over the years.
However, it seems that Feng Junhua is inherently at odds with Zhao Tianqi.
He could even sense that the child sometimes seemed to hate him.
Now, news that Zhao Tianqi is a fake has suddenly spread everywhere, and the Zhao family can't help but know about it even if they want to.
Feng Junhua seemed to have his mind opened up immediately as a result.
That's right, if Zhao Tianqi isn't his child, then everything makes sense!
For a moment, Feng Junhua was incredibly excited and deeply moved.
But why were they deceived for so long without noticing anything amiss? In the end, wasn't it because his good wife kept protecting Zhao Tianqi?
Indeed, Feng Junhua now has a very strong intuition that, although he has not yet obtained evidence, he is convinced that Zhao Tianqi is not his child.
If they are biological father and son, no matter how much they hate each other, the feeling of blood connection cannot be hidden.
Therefore, this is the only explanation!
"Dad, I think the most important thing we need to do right now is to prove whether Zhao Tianqi is really our child!"
"We can't continue to be so confused!"
