During this period, Zhao Ziyun has indeed been much quieter.
Naturally, he was terrified of Zhao Chen.
He knew very well that he would only get beaten up if he met Zhao Chen.
If you rush in and cause trouble like before, you'll definitely get beaten to a pulp again.
I've been laughed at countless times for walking around school with that face all day long.
This made Zhao Ziyun, who originally had a very strong sense of self-esteem, feel like he was being publicly humiliated.
It turns out he was such a proud person, yet he was humiliated to such an extent by Zhao Chen.
He clenched his fists countless times, wishing he could possess the same terrifying brute strength as Zhao Chen.
But he was powerless and unable to change anything; he remained frail and sickly.
His health seemed to have never been fully recovered; he had no major illnesses, but was constantly plagued by minor ailments, making him feel like a male version of Lin Daiyu...
Of course, being a male version of Lin Daiyu isn't without its advantages.
For this reason, his older sisters always favored him and unconditionally protected him.
But now, he doesn't seem to be as favored as before.
The third sister no longer dotes on him like crazy as before, and will occasionally ask the fifth sister, Zhao Ziyao, "Fifth sister, how is Zhao Chen's brother doing today? Has he become even more handsome?"
"If you have the chance, remember to advise him to stay away from that fat girl, lest he catch her again. If he gains weight again, I won't like him anymore!"
"Remember to tell him!"
At these times, Zhao Ziyun would pretend to be very willing to help:
"Third sister, don't worry, I will explain things to brother together with fifth sister."
"However, recently my brother has become really close to that Shen Qingyue!"
"I feel that as long as Shen Qingyue is around, my brother probably won't come back to our house anymore."
Every time Zhao Yunlan heard Zhao Ziyun say such things, he would get upset and then start cursing the overconfident Shen Qingyue.
They said that this fat girl was so persistent in clinging to his precious little brother, and that one day they would teach her a lesson.
At times like these, Zhao Ziyao, as the younger sister, always feels particularly exhausted.
My older sister is sometimes really childish. She does things immaturely and is very impulsive.
When they're good to someone, they're incredibly good to them; when they dislike someone, they make no attempt to hide it, their eyes filled with disgust.
Previously, this third sister had been the worst to Zhao Chen.
Now that she sees Zhao Chen has become more handsome, she wants to bring him back. It's like a nightmare of chasing after a younger brother.
In fact, Zhao Yunlan actually took action; she drove her luxury car several times to pick Zhao Chen up from school.
On one occasion, she even brought a car full of flowers, making it seem like a confession of love, trying to win Zhao Chen's favor.
In the end, Zhao Chen ignored all her actions and even said directly that he would not be polite if he saw Zhao Yunlan doing such messy things again.
In the end, it was only after Zhao Guohua learned of his daughter's absurd behavior that he was so angry that he locked Zhao Yunlan up for several days before he was able to calm her down.
Even so, every time his younger siblings went to school, Zhao Yunlan would give them a few instructions: they must communicate and get along well with Zhao Chen, deepen their sibling bond, and try to influence his younger brother as soon as possible.
At times like these, Zhao Ziyun was filled with intense jealousy, his eyes practically turning bloodshot.
This attention and affection originally belonged only to him, so why should this despicable guy Zhao Chen take away what belonged to him?
Zhao Chen is really too scheming.
He wanted to use this method to tell everyone that Zhao Ziyun was just an adopted bastard, while he was the one who truly received the love and care of his sisters.
At this moment, Zhao Ziyun truly regretted driving Zhao Chen away.
He had pushed Zhao Chen too far in the past, so much so that now that Zhao Chen had rebounded strongly, he was completely out of his control.
He had no way of predicting what Zhao Chen would do next.
At this moment, Qin Lang appeared at the opportune moment, and having evaded Zhao Ziyao's attention, came directly to her.
How could Zhao Ziyun possibly refuse?
But he was also very curious about what Zhao Chen had been doing for those two months.
Why did he change so much after he came back, and why did he gain so much confidence?
It's simply unbelievable!
"I don't care what methods you use, you must find out the truth about these things."
"Furthermore, we need to find out exactly what kind of connection and cooperation Zhao Chen has with Alice's family."
"Once I figure these things out, I will have the ability to destroy it."
"No matter how powerful Zhao Chen is, he is still just one person."
"Even if he had already left the Zhao family and gone it alone, so what?"
"The wrath of the Qin family is not something your Zhao family can withstand!"
Qin Lang had already thoroughly investigated the Zhao family's background.
Zhao Guohua has some influence and ability in this city, but that's all.
He certainly has a lot of money, but he doesn't have much power. If he really wanted to take control of the Zhao family's assets, it would be a piece of cake for Qin Lang.
Therefore, in front of this true young master, Zhao Ziyun would always be inferior.
He didn't even dare to raise his head to speak to the Second Young Master Qin in front of him, and always kept his head down and his eyes downcast.
Plus, he was originally a delicate and weak-looking person, so he was incredibly effeminate.
Seeing him like this, Qin Lang truly despised him.
However, cross-dressers also have their uses.
One of his good friends is a big fan of this!
Zhao Ziyun is quite handsome and has a good appearance. If his friend saw him, he would definitely like him.
That friend has even more influence than his brother; perhaps Qin Lang can kill two birds with one stone this time!
However, he still needs Zhao Ziyun for now, so let's keep him for now...
Zhao Ziyun had no idea that what he thought was a great opportunity to climb the social ladder was actually a trap set by Qin Ershao, who had already sold him out multiple times and was even planning to squeeze every last drop of value out of him!
In the end, he was just a bastard child picked up by the Zhao family. What was there to worry about?
The Zhao family is quite peculiar; they can abandon their own son, so they can also discard their adopted son at any time.
However, while they were investigating Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was not going to sit idly by and wait for his doom.
Zhao Chen knew better than anyone what these people were thinking.
So his counterattack came quickly.
At that moment, he made a long-distance call, connecting directly with Charles:
"Brother, you can haul in the net you cast earlier. The fish have taken the bait and are now within our hunting range!"
"Now that both nets are in, we're probably going to catch a lot of big fish. It's up to you now!"
Charles on the other end of the phone jumped up excitedly: "Brother, that's what I've been waiting for!"
