After all, Zhao Ruxi was once Qin Feng's woman.
Before Qin Feng's accident, this woman was quite favored and held a rather special position in the Qin family.
Although she wasn't the legitimate young mistress, everyone knew that Qin Feng liked this woman and valued her highly.
Therefore, everyone treated him with great respect.
But now Qin Feng has suddenly encountered a misfortune, and many people simply don't understand the reason behind it.
However, the bigwigs at the top of the Qin family all share a similar consensus.
Because of Zhao Ruxi, who had given Qin Feng a lot of advice, the conflict between Qin Feng and Zhao Chen became more and more intense, and their grudges grew bigger and bigger.
Ultimately, things turned out this way, so they all felt that, in the end, this woman was a very important reason for the deaths of Qin Feng and Qin Sanye.
Zhao Ruxi once overheard several big shots discussing something in private.
It turned out to be about himself, so he couldn't help but eavesdrop for a couple more minutes.
He felt extremely aggrieved after hearing it.
What does this have to do with him?
Even without him, Qin Feng would have clashed with Zhao Chen sooner or later.
Qin Feng is the kind of guy who can't stand seeing others being much better than him.
In addition, his younger brother Qin Lang had already provoked Zhao Chen before.
Therefore, given Qin Feng's personality, he wouldn't let Zhao Chen off the hook either, and ultimately, this is the outcome.
But now, the entire Qin family seems to blame Qin Feng's death on the sisters.
Because if Qin Feng hadn't doted on them, they wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to take down Zhao Chen.
At this time, because she still had to live in the Qin family, Zhao Ruxi could only swallow her anger.
But after Qin Feng died, Zhao Ruxi's continued presence in the Qin family was particularly awkward and jarring.
But he dared not leave, because if he did, the Chu family might launch new targeted attacks against him.
And then there's Zhao Chen, who would sneakily throw a punch at him every now and then; even a casual stab like that could be enough to give him a run for his money.
So no matter how awkward or embarrassing it was, Zhao Ruxi still had to stay in the Qin family.
He still can't believe that a young master like Qin Feng is gone just like that.
What should he do if he loses his support? Should he also find a new way out?
But think about it, even the Qin family suffered a setback in front of Zhao Chen, so where could this weak woman go?
He might suffer if he left this house, so he dared not.
With Qin Feng's death, the Zhao sisters naturally suffered a series of undeserved calamities.
The most obvious example is Zhao Luke, who works in the entertainment industry.
This woman has experienced many ups and downs.
Previously, with the Zhao family backing him up, he was known in the circle as a wealthy heiress.
As a result, his family fell into poverty within a few days, and he suddenly found himself struggling to make ends meet.
Having such a capable brother-in-law as Qingfeng has finally given him confidence and allowed him to stand tall again.
Now, my brother-in-law is gone.
He seems to be hitting rock bottom again.
Zhao Lu couldn't help but sigh, wondering why her fate was so unfortunate and why she was so unlucky.
But now that things have come to this, he can only grit his teeth and persevere, because he feels that if he gives up, he will die an even more miserable death.
Now that he's a public figure, he's constantly being watched by entertainment media, so he feels that this actually makes him safer.
In case he has to live alone in the future, without the halo of being a public figure.
A top-tier young master like Zhao Chen could easily kill it with just a few words, right?
But now, he has something even more important to do:
"Sister, what do you want to do? You're in such an awkward position in the Qin family now. The rest of us sisters have all received favors from your husband in the past."
"So now, it's particularly awkward, as we all depend on the Qin family for survival."
"If they are unwilling to accept us now, it will be terrible."
"You don't know, ever since my brother-in-law left, those sluts somehow found out about this."
"They're stepping on my foot again."
Zhao Luke went to her second sister, Zhao Ruxi, and couldn't help but complain to her.
Zhao Luke was referring to a rival artist in the same competition.
After all, there are only so many resources in the entertainment industry. If she snatches some resources, other female artists in the same field will naturally see her as a thorn in their side.
Previously, because Qin Feng was there to look after and protect the sisters, everything went very smoothly.
But now that Qin Feng is gone, those who were suppressed back then immediately launched a strong counterattack.
They also hoped that something would happen to Zhao Luke, preferably that her reputation would be ruined, so that they could take all the resources from her and put them to themselves.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. In order to become famous and to gain greater benefits, both men and women will stop at nothing.
Zhao Lu had always been protected by the Zao family, and no one dared to do anything to him. Later, he created a pitiful persona, which made it even more difficult for everyone to harm him.
After all, kicking someone when they're down at this time is also very much in line with public opinion.
Therefore, Zhao Lu will be allowed to skip one session for the time being.
Then Qin Feng appeared, which boosted his popularity to another level.
These are all the ups and downs Zhao Lu has experienced, but he is absolutely unwilling to return to a normal life.
Therefore, he also wanted the Qin family's protection to continue.
Hearing her sister's words, Zhao Ruxi gave a bitter laugh:
"Fourth sister, it's not that I don't want to work hard, nor that I don't want to help you."
"But now my sister is also in trouble, and the Qin family is putting all the blame for Qin Feng's death on me."
"I don't know what they're thinking. What does it have to do with me? Even if they try to pin these things on me, what's the point?"
"Ah Feng is dead..."
At this point, Zhao Ruxi choked up. After all, Qin Feng still loved him very much and spoiled him, often doing things according to his wishes.
Because of Qin Feng's relationship with the Qin family, Zhao Ruxi actually gained a lot of benefits, but now he may have to give them back.
After all, without Qin Feng's protection, he certainly wouldn't be able to get the resources he once had.
At this moment, he couldn't help but miss Qin Feng's kindness even more, and his heart ached even more.
Faced with his sister's request, he couldn't give a real response, and in the end, he could only sigh and say:
"Fourth Sister, all I can say is that I will try my best to fight for it."
"But now that we don't have any men to help us, we really don't have much of a chance of winning."
"You need to prepare for the worst while also thinking about new options. All I can say is that I will definitely help you to the end if I have the ability."
"But since I don't have the ability to help, there's nothing I can do."
Hearing her second sister's words, Zhao Lu knew she had put her sister in a difficult position, and finally sighed and said:
"Sister, thank you for your hard work. We sisters will each come up with new solutions in the future."
"Take good care of yourself before taking leave, and don't feel too wronged."
Zhao Ruxi could only respond with a forced smile, "Yes, I know."
"You should take good care of yourself too, and don't be too competitive in this industry."
"When it's time to rest, you should take a break and be careful to protect yourself."
Actually, both sisters knew the truth, but they were just saying it.
If they really encounter any problems, they probably won't have the ability to solve them.
Otherwise, what men would they turn to?
After the two sisters finished their call, Zhao Ruxi was still in a daze when a figure was already standing outside the door.
Upon seeing this person, Zhao Ruxi felt a chill run down her spine, but the person had already pushed the door open and entered.
The man smiled broadly, revealing a confident and triumphant expression.
"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time. What's your decision?"
“My brother is already gone. The Qin family will definitely focus on cultivating me in the future. Once I rise to prominence, won’t you have better security?”
"However, I want you all to listen to me. I don't just want Zhao Ziyao, I want all four of you sisters."
"Once you've thought it through, help me convince the rest of you sisters."
"From now on, I guarantee that you can live comfortably and freely in your respective fields and lives."
"Otherwise, you'd better pray for your own good fortune."
"You should all be very clear about your current situation, so I don't need to say anything more."
That's right, the person who came in was Qin Feng's younger brother, Qin Lang.
This former classmate of Zhao Chen, who attended the same school as Zhao Chen, was also Zhao Ziyao's classmate.
He had already pursued Zhao Ziyao back in school.
But Zhao Ziyao completely ignored him at that time.
He didn't bring up his status as a young master from the capital.
Because he knew that he had an older brother who had always suppressed him since childhood.
He was only the second child, which put him in a very awkward position and status at home.
Even if he's a direct descendant, so what? With an eldest son suppressing him, he'll never get ahead in his entire life.
The Qin family has always been very traditional in this regard.
The distinction between嫡子 (legitimate son) and 庶子 (illegitimate son) was very important.
Therefore, Qin Lang naturally knew that he had no chance at all.
So even though Zhao Ziyao rejected him, he felt helpless.
Because if he were to ask his family for help with this, they would only look down on him.
If he can't even handle a girl from Shanghai, what can he possibly accomplish?
Even after returning to the capital and getting involved in some of the family's business, he did a remarkable job and achieved some success.
But those old fogies still only saw his older brother.
Moreover, the eldest brother acted recklessly, dragging Zhao Ruxi and her sisters over, and the family didn't care.
Not to mention that Qin Feng did anything wrong.
Because in the eyes of the Qin family elders, isn't it normal for their eldest son and grandson to have multiple wives to have more children?
They couldn't be happier...
Fortunately, Qin Feng had only ever been in contact with Zhao Ruxi before.
Before Zhao Ziyao could even touch him, Qin Lang's dear older brother unexpectedly died in an accident.
Qin Lang couldn't help but applaud the person who helped eliminate his brother's enemy.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
However, he knew that once he took action, he would leave behind many clues, and sooner or later the family would find out.
Even if he eliminates his elder brother, the family members will not hand over power to him.
After much deliberation, he decided that he should lie low for a while and wait.
And he actually got what he was waiting for.
When he heard that Zhao Chen was the one who did it, he couldn't help but shudder.
He actually began to believe that Zhao Chen truly had that ability.
At this point, he no longer had any intention of challenging Zhao Chen. He had been watching Zhao Chen rise to power all along.
As for those who say that Zhao Chen founded those companies entirely because the Zhao family secretly helped him, he scoffs at them.
Because he had witnessed Zhao Chen's meteoric rise to power.
So he had to admire him; this person was simply a genius.
From then on, even if he wanted to oppose Zhao Chen, he did so secretly, without making it public.
On the contrary, his older brother, in order to show off his ability and status, actually went against Zhao Chen in a big way. In the end, what happened? He was beaten to a pulp.
Even so, those old geezers still don't want to replace their useless eldest brother.
They actually wanted to keep him in charge of the family business.
They even sent him to Hong Kong to negotiate with Zhao Chen. What kind of bizarre move is this?
In the end, not only did Qin Feng die, but their third grandfather also died.
Qin Lang was so happy he wanted to clap his hands and shout, "This is so gratifying!"
In the end, he held back.
However, in private, he had already moved on to the sister-in-law he had long coveted.
In fact, Zhao Ruxi is not considered the eldest sister-in-law; she can only be considered a mistress.
Because he hasn't yet gained official recognition from the Qin family.
This is the most awkward situation for Zhao Ruxi right now. She doesn't even have a legitimate reason to stay in the Qin family. Fortunately, she managed to buy a house in Beijing when she made some money before.
As for why he did this, it was because he had been paying close attention to Zhao Chen's movements.
I learned indirectly through other channels that Zhao Chen was buying up all sorts of dilapidated properties, and more importantly, he was going to occupy the land on which he was buying them.
Therefore, he was able to realize that Zhao Chen must have had a reason for doing this.
Ever since witnessing Zhao Chen's prowess, Zhao Ruqian would sometimes follow suit and invest in his schemes whenever she saw them, provided she had the resources and ability.
For example, when he bought the house this time, he followed Zhao Chen's instructions. It has to be said that this woman is indeed smart enough, and he managed to get it right by sheer luck.
That's why Zhao Ruxi didn't end up without a place to stay in the capital.
If it weren't for this house, and if she were really kicked out by the Qin family, then he would really have no choice but to sleep at the company.
At this moment, faced with Qin Lang's request, Zhao Ruxi knew that she had no other choice.
In the end, he could only bite his lip, and the shy man reluctantly agreed:
"Okay, I agree!"
Once he agreed, Qin Lang could no longer contain the greed in his eyes and pounced on him.
