After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 100: What Deep Hatred or Great Enmity

"Just... just like that?"

Cheng Lingdang, who had braced herself for Shi Yaoguang to make some super tough demands, was completely baffled.

Shi Yaoguang countered, "What’s the problem with asking you to work hard on your cultivation?"

Cheng Lingdang thought for a moment, then replied, "None."

"Well, there you have it," Shi Yaoguang said before naturally changing the subject, "Come find me at Quan Mansion this weekend, I’ll guide you through your cultivation."

"Oh, okay," Cheng Lingdang nodded, and then she noticed the address mentioned, "Quan Mansion!"

She looked utterly lost, "But Yaoguang, haven’t you and Quan Sicheng called off the engagement? Why are you asking me to go to Quan Mansion?"

"I live there."

"Oh," Cheng Lingdang mumbled in acknowledgment, then her expression turned to horror once more, "You, you live there?!"

"Mhm." Shi Yaoguang offered no further explanation. "I’ve completely cut ties with the Shi Family. From now on, Quan Mansion is my home. If you want to see me, just come to Quan Mansion."

Cheng Lingdang nodded numbly; she was beyond the point of surprise.

No, to be precise, she had had her fill of surprises.

Hey, keep calm, keep calm. If Yaoguang can cultivate, what’s the big deal about taking over Quan Mansion?

Small case.

With this thought, Cheng Lingdang finally relaxed.

The bell for class rang, and Shi Yaoguang told her to go back to her own class, while she went to the gifted class.

As soon as the people in the gifted class saw her, they let out a chorus of hisses.

"Shi Yaoguang is here!"

Someone shouted first, and then the entire class burst into noisy excitement.

"How could she have the face to come back? The whole forum is filled with her photos; I heard she’s been kicked out, what shamelessness..."

"The Shi Family doesn’t want her anymore, so she’s thinking of coming back to school to find a new sponsor, right? Even though our class’s grades are average, our families are wealthy. It’s not impossible that she wants to curry favor with us."

"Wasn’t she supposed to be wealthy?"

"Her, wealthy? What wealth does she have? Are you talking about the blood money she made by manipulating An Siqi’s livestream? How long has she been squandering it? Maybe it’s all gone by now, and even if not, there couldn’t be much left... Lately, the Starry Live Broadcast has been advocating for justice for those victims, right? I bet she’ll soon be asked to compensate the victims, and when she can’t pay up, we’ll see what she does!"

There were those who openly gossiped, and there were others who remained neutral and silent.

Gao Wenlan, surprisingly, did not take the opportunity to stir up trouble, not because she didn’t want to.

When someone put up Shi Yaoguang’s whereabouts on the forum, she was the first to gather a group to go and settle scores with her.

Just as they reached the second-floor corridor, she saw Nie Feng and his crew encircling Shi Yaoguang.

Gao Wenlan zoomed in with her phone’s camera to get a better view, eagerly awaiting the sight of Shi Yaoguang being beaten and begging for mercy.

The outcome was a shock to everyone, though.

Despite being outnumbered, Shi Yaoguang alone took down Nie Feng and the rest of them with her own two hands.

And that woman who struck first.

Even from a distance, where their voices couldn’t be heard, freёwebnoѵel.com

Gao Wenlan saw very clearly that the woman had tried to scratch Shi Yaoguang’s seductive face with her nails.

In the end, Shi Yaoguang was unscathed, whereas the instigator ended up scratching her own face.

After witnessing such a one-sided crush from afar, how could Gao Wenlan have the guts to incite further mockery?

You could say that after several encounters with Shi Yaoguang, her spirit had been completely dampened.

All she wanted was to stay in the gifted class, right?

Stay.

It’s just some dirt on the forums, right?

What does that have to do with her? She won’t get involved!

Gao Wenlan thought it through very clearly, so naturally, her little followers all settled down as well.

For a while, the only ones causing a stir were the onlookers.

There were also the sharper ones who noticed that Gao Wenlan, this thorn in the side, was quiet.

Now that Gao Wenlan had taken her stance, they were even less inclined to stir up trouble.

Mu Tiantian, as someone who was keen on taking the opportunity to become Shi Yaoguang’s sponsor, was getting displeased when she heard her classmates mocking Shi Yaoguang.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Puffing up with anger, her round eyes wide, she said, "What’s it to you how Yaoguang is? If you’re really so idle, you might as well fight over an illegitimate child’s inheritance! Looking at you all chattering away, what good are you besides becoming the butt of a joke?"

Mu Tiantian’s words were far from polite, "I’m warning you all, you’d better stay away from my Yaoguang. If you dare spout any more nonsense, you’ll see how I deal with you!"

A boy with a lip piercing sneered, "You? Doesn’t seem like the Mu Family has that much clout, huh?"

"Who said anything about using the Mu Family’s power against you? To be honest, the best way to deal with you... is to support the illegitimate children in your families who are left out in the cold."

"Tsk tsk, illegitimate children, huh? Their existence proves that your parents actually care quite a bit. So, since that’s the case... if someone offered these kids a chance to climb up the ladder, who would refuse, huh?"

Upon hearing Mu Tiantian’s words, everyone remembered what her family did for a living.

The Mu Family’s business might not be very distinguished, but they had political connections.

If they decided to exert pressure, the outcome could be unpredictable.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Mu Tiantian finally allowed herself a shallow smile.

"All you need to do is behave, and stop thinking up all this nonsense. Nobody’s got the time to deal with you otherwise, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

No one wanted to risk offending someone who might just turn around and help their half-siblings.

We’re all classmates, isn’t it better to part on good terms?

Seeing everyone had settled down, Mu Tiantian gave Shi Yaoguang a flattering smile, "Yaoguang, with me here, they won’t dare to mouth off again, you just relax!"

Shi Yaoguang joked, "Sponsor indeed has quite the style."

"That’s right," Mu Tiantian said proudly, lifting her chin.

The rest of the class: "..."

Indeed, the gossipmongers of the honors class were suppressed, but there were still so many teachers and students within the school.

And here we have Qin Hongbo, the class teacher of Class Seven who had been at odds with Shi Yaoguang, couldn’t help but seek out the headmaster in private.

His reasoning was simple, if Shi Yaoguang were expelled from the school, his psychological shadow would disappear as well.

That’s right, because of Shi Yaoguang, he had developed a bit of a psychological shadow.

After having made a bet with Shi Yaoguang, he had been plagued by nightmares for many days.

The content of his nightmares was always the same.

He resigned, became unemployed.

Drifted from city to city, unable to find a suitable school to work at, and eventually ended up begging for a living.

Tormented by these dreams, Qin Hongbo thought perhaps without Shi Yaoguang, he would no longer have nightmares, so he stirred up trouble once more.

After listening to his proposal, the headmaster asked him exasperatedly, "What deep hatred do you have with Shi Yaoguang that you absolutely want her out of Ruihe High School?"
