After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 116: Going Live

"I really didn’t harm you, I just... returned the gift you gave me, back to you."

Shi Yaoguang’s words, like whispers of a demon, murmured in An Siqi’s ear.

An Siqi went completely pale in an instant, her lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You, you..."

Shi Yaoguang let out a low laugh, "Are you satisfied with the gift I returned to you?"

Biting her lip, An Siqi’s eyes were filled with bloodshot, "Why did you do this? Do you know, this could ruin my entire life!"

By the time she finished speaking, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ruin your entire life?"

Shi Yaoguang seemed to hear a joke, her tone full of helplessness, "Siqi, how could you think so? Aren’t you my dear friend? What I gave you, wasn’t it just what you gave me?"

"We’re not the same!" An Siqi yelled into the phone, "You’re the daughter of the Shi Family, you have a powerful backing. What about me? What do I have? Nothing but an orphan adopted by the An Family!"

"What’s the difference?" Shi Yaoguang really couldn’t understand her train of thought.

The heiress of the Shi Family, or the adopted daughter of the An Family.

What’s the difference?

Apart from the Shi Family being wealthier, Shi Yaoguang’s status in the Shi Family wasn’t even as comfortable as An Siqi’s in the An Family.

Had An Siqi considered these when sizing up their family backgrounds?

"You’ve soared from a sparrow to a phoenix, of course, you can’t understand my difficulties! With the Shi Family backing you, even if there’s a problem, someone will clean up after you, but I don’t have that!"

As she spoke, she broke down and cried, "Now the whole internet is filled with that video, how am I supposed to live after this?!"

Shi Yaoguang’s tone was indifferent, "Previously, my photos were all over the internet, but I didn’t die from it."

It wasn’t that she was too heartless; she had given An Siqi many chances.

She had no intention of delving into the past of her former life.

But when An Siqi was faced with the same choices again, she had made the wrong ones.

Since she had made her decision, what else could Shi Yaoguang do? Of course, she would go along with her.

A person, whether an adult or not, must bear the consequences for every decision made.

An Siqi couldn’t be convinced by Shi Yaoguang’s words, and Yaoguang had no intention of saying more.

At the very least, compared to An Siqi, she had left some leeway.

An Siqi outright fabricated that the photo was of her, while she had clarified the video was doctored.

...

The clip had indeed made a significant impact.

An Siqi didn’t go to school the whole day.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t either, and everyone was speculating whether An Siqi’s small video had something to do with Yaoguang.

Or perhaps, An Siqi thought this affair was related to Yaoguang and went to settle scores with her.

In any case, for the whole day, everyone was wrapped up in curiosity.

Shi Yiqing was anxious and on edge.

She didn’t know what the story behind the video was.

Whether or not Yaoguang had taken action personally, Shi Yiqing had a bad premonition.

If Yaoguang had acted herself, it meant that her abilities were much more formidable than Shi Yiqing had imagined.

If she hadn’t acted herself, then...

Then there was only one possibility left.

Shi Yaoguang had strong external support!

In other words, Quan Jinbei truly took her to heart and willingly became her support!

Regardless of the possibility, Shi Yiqing was unwilling to accept it.

She wanted to contact An Siqi for clarification, but An Siqi simply ignored her.

Every call she made was met with the other party’s phone being switched off.

Time flashed by, and soon it was evening.

Star Streaming began its heated preview.

Before going live for real, Shi Yaoguang spent a fortune to trend on social media.

The trending topic immediately sparked widespread curiosity amongst netizens.

Just a few days ago, the fallen photo of the rich girl during her middle school years and the incidents of her returning to the Shi Family, selling toxic cosmetics to make money, causing many victims disfigurement, were still fresh in everyone’s minds.

Now, everyone was curious about what kind of performance the infamous heiress would deliver live.

Some even began to suspect whether Star Streaming, who had been the harshest critics, had been bought out.

Under a Weibo post promoting the live stream, there was a cascade of inquiries directed at the official Star Streaming.

"How come she is going live on Star Streaming? Has Star Streaming been kidnapped?"

"If you’ve been kidnapped by capital, just blink!"

"If you’ve been kidnapped, blink!!"

Amid a flood of comments, the official responded with one: "We haven’t been kidnapped, see you tonight at eight on Star Streaming."

When netizens asked further, the official started playing dead.

The netizens, driven by insatiable curiosity, couldn’t help themselves and flocked to the live room more than half an hour early to wait.

Even without the host present, they began chatting in the bullet comments.

"I don’t know what’s on the live stream tonight, but I’m really looking forward to it."

"What else could be live-streamed? Star Streaming criticized her so harshly before, now they must have been conquered by capital, and tonight is definitely all about whitewashing."

"Star Streaming used to be so tough, I thought they had some powerful backing. But now it seems this new company is too naive to fear a tiger; they’ve been strangled by the heiress and had to submit."

"The user above, the live hasn’t even started, can you not be so dramatic?"

"Just passing by, the live room isn’t open yet, but why is it so popular? It’s even on the leaderboard."

"Replying to the one above, the stream starts at eight, and the host is the main character from the recent fiery junior high Yan-Zhao scandal. Weren’t the pictures from last night proven to be photoshopped? Tonight is most likely for whitewashing the other scandals."

"Whitewashing, huh? I’ve never seen the person involved actually come forward to clarify, so I’m going to stay and watch."

"Once the live starts, everyone get to cussing! Don’t go easy on her!"

"Okay, okay, you heartless bi**h!!"

"Brothers, charge! We must not give the malicious bi**h a chance to clear her name!!"

...

"It’s starting, it’s starting!"

At exactly eight o’clock, the live room officially went on air.

After a splash screen featuring the Star Streaming logo, a vibrant and beautiful girl’s face appeared on the camera.

"Good evening everyone, welcome to my live room."

She greeted the audience, then introduced herself, "I believe you have all heard of my reputation, but haven’t seen me in person, nor do you know my name."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Yaoguang, the one who recently made headlines for signing a severance agreement with the chairman of the Shi Group, and in the eyes of some, the heartless person who sold toxic cosmetics for money, causing numerous victims to suffer disfigurement."

Shi Yaoguang’s appearance was such that she could become a celebrity simply by showing her face; when she first came on camera, there were even sounds of screen-licking in the comments.

However, after she introduced herself, the screen-licking comments disappeared, replaced by a torrent of insults.
