After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 113 Does She Need to Sow Discord?

Defamation and such, the boundary for conviction is pretty vague.

Moreover, since Shi Yiqing was protected by Heavenly Dao in secret, a conviction and such were, naturally, out of the question.

However, even if they couldn’t cause her any substantial harm, detaining and reprimanding her was enough to be a nuisance.

Halos and such, they all have a time when they fade.

When her reputation or other honors hit rock bottom, the halo would weaken.

With every weakening, the day when the halo would completely vanish was soon to come.

Shi Yiqing didn’t know the scheme Shi Yaoguang was plotting, but just being detained for a night and receiving criticism and education was humiliating enough.

If possible, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

...

After Shi Yiqing was taken to the police station, Shi’s parents received the notification.

They rushed over in a hurry and ran into Shi Yaoguang, who had just finished giving her statement and was about to leave.

Upon seeing her, both husband and wife showed disgusted expressions.

As if just looking at her was a great injury to their eyes.

In response, Shi Yaoguang had no fucks to give.

Since they were not close anyway, she simply ignored them.

Unexpectedly, while she was willing to keep the peace, they were not willing to accept it.

Shi’s mother, with a look of disgust, stood in front of Shi Yaoguang, blocking her way.

Shi Yaoguang saw it clearly, she raised her hand, and that gesture was clearly intended to take the opportunity to slap her.

"How can you be so malicious? Why did you have to make Qingqing go to the police station for no good reason..."

In her agitation, Shi’s mother attempted to slap her, hoping to add dramatic effect to the intense atmosphere.

However, Shi Yaoguang was prepared, and Shi’s mother’s long-planned slap never reached Yaoguang’s face.

Instead, she nearly fell to the ground because she swung too hard.

Shi’s mother missed her slap and almost fell.

Shi’s father quickly stepped forward to steady his wife, and looked at Shi Yaoguang with some reproach, "You unfilial girl, how can you treat your mother like this!"

"What have I done to my mother?"

Shi Yaoguang asked with a look of curiosity.

Shi’s father’s expression was stern, his tone unfriendly, "Do you still want to argue? Your mother was speaking nicely to you, and you just had to make her angry, didn’t you? She is getting on in years, and you once almost caused her a heart disease with your behavior. Not only do you not feel sorry, but you also deliberately caused your sister to enter the police station. Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do?"

His voice was not low, attracting the attention of those around them.

The matter of Shi Yaoguang cutting ties with the Shi Family had attracted many onlookers.

Therefore, they too were aware of this incident.

It was just unknown to them that among the Shi Family’s issues, there was also the fact that someone almost gave their own mother a heart condition.

Hearing this, people who didn’t know the whole story couldn’t help but speculate a bit more.

Could it be that the reason the Shi family cut ties with their biological daughter was due to her poor conduct?

Thinking so, the crowd’s perception of Shi Yaoguang worsened by several degrees.

Shi Yaoguang, however, had not expected that her own father, Shi Rusong, was also a master of brewing tea storms.

This line of talk, both overtly and covertly blames her for everything, pushing all the fault onto her while conveniently whitewashing Shi Yiqing, isn’t it great?

"What’s that look in your eyes?" Shi Rusong felt uncomfortable under her mocking gaze, "Let me tell you, even if we’ve severed ties, you Shi Yaoguang are still a seed of the Shi Family! If your mother and I hadn’t brought you into this world, you wouldn’t exist."

"So..."

Shi Yaoguang interrupted him at his most agitated, "Sorry, allow me to say something."

"If I hadn’t been born into the Shi Family, maybe my life would be much better than it is now, but... hypotheticals always come with some deviations, and I wouldn’t mind considering your hypothesis."

"But... I have another question."

Shi Rusong’s face was stern, and his tone impatient, "What else do you want to question? The Shi Family has raised you for so many years..."

"Let me correct you there," Shi Yaoguang interjected, "the Shi Family only raised me for one year, and I’ve already repaid all my expenses during my time with the Shi Family, with interest."

Shi Yaoguang said, her eyes curving into a smile: "I know Mr. and Mrs. Shi are very good people. Even if they have been schemed against, they are willing to let bygones be bygones and raise... their children, but I’m sorry, I am a selfish person and can’t learn your magnanimity and forgiveness."

"I can’t bear to watch parents who are so incompetent that they can’t even look after their own child, and treasure the daughter of the person who hurt me more than their own eyes, even to the point of expecting me to endure everything. In the end, our paths are different; we can’t plan together."

"Since we’ve cut ties, I think... there’s no need for us to keep up this charade any longer." Shi Yaoguang said, her gaze lightly sweeping over the two of them before she added: "I take my leave."

Watching her leave, Shi Yiqing’s parents had an odd feeling in their hearts.

Shi Yiqing’s mother had an ominous premonition. Leaning on her husband, she said with a wistful tone, "Husband, why do I feel like her words have an underlying meaning? Could it be... there’s something wrong with Qingqing’s identity?"

Shi Yiqing’s father felt the same way, but he wouldn’t jump to conclusions before clarifying the situation.

In his opinion, this was definitely a scheme set up by Shi Yaoguang on purpose.

It was probably to drive a wedge in their relationship with Shi Yiqing and their spouse.

Hearing this, Shi Yiqing’s mother also felt it made sense and her dislike for Shi Yaoguang grew stronger.

"Someone who wasn’t raised by our side is indeed not any good! She’s already left, but she still wants to stab us in the heart. Does she think she can destroy the affection we’ve built with Qingqing over eighteen years with just a few words? She’s dreaming!"

Shi Yiqing’s mother said, her tone even carrying a hint of defiance, "The less she wants to see us treat Qingqing well, the better I’m going to treat Qingqing!"

Shi Yiqing’s father nodded in agreement, feeling that by doing so, they could punish Shi Yaoguang, their ungrateful and unfilial daughter.

Shi Yaoguang had no idea that her well-intentioned warning would have the opposite effect.

The reason she wanted to hint at Shi Yiqing’s identity was indeed out of goodwill, and she had none of the scheming thoughts Shi Yiqing’s mother suspected.

Drive a wedge?

Did she need to?

The affection of Shi Yiqing’s parents was not important to her.

She didn’t seek the Shi Family’s wealth, nor the affection of Shi Yiqing’s parents.

She truly had no demands from the Shi Family. Her warning was merely a precautionary measure.

The truth about Shi Yiqing’s identity would come to light one day; laying the groundwork in advance was better than letting Shi Yiqing’s parents face it unprepared and risk dying from the shock.

Unfortunately, the earnestness of Shi Yaoguang’s efforts was something Shi Yiqing’s parents would never understand.

Shi Yaoguang left the police station in high spirits, only to see a familiar Maybach at the entrance.

The silver-gray, limited edition model was one of Quan Jinbei’s vehicles, which Shi Yaoguang had seen in his garage.

Seeing her approach, Quan Jinbei rolled down the window and waved at her.

Shi Yaoguang, grinning, quickened her steps towards him and sat in the passenger seat.

Quan Jinbei started the engine and took the opportunity to ask about Shi Yiqing’s situation.
