After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 26 She Came With a Megaphone

"I think I know what’s going on."

Shi Yaoguang said, looking at Jiu Yanchuan, "Thanks for your concern, Captain Jiu. I believe I can handle this matter myself."

Jiu Yanchuan nodded at her brimming confidence, "If there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know."

After all, the young lady was his brother’s woman; it was only natural for him to take extra care of her.

Shi Yaoguang smiled sweetly, "I won’t be polite with you, Captain Jiu, about your kind offer."

As she spoke, she paused, "In a while... there’s likely to be a mess that I’ll need Captain Jiu to clean up."

Jiu Yanchuan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"You’ll know soon enough."

Her face still wore a brilliant smile, yet for some reason, it gave off a chilling vibe.

...

On the day of registration, the conflict between Shi Yaoguang and Nie Feng was witnessed by some, while others learned about it through the school forum.

Whether firsthand witnesses or hearsay, the majority of the students knew about Shi Yaoguang’s demand for a public apology from Nie Feng.

Among them were students living in Banshan Villa.

The previous incident where Shi Yaoguang represented the Shi Family to apologize to the Nie Family was also posted on the school forum.

Many admired her behind the scenes for her strong tactics.

Two words, absolutely resolute!

Of course, there were quite a few who enjoyed the drama.

Based on Shi Yaoguang’s performance last semester, it was uncertain whether she would end up groveling at Nie Feng’s feet without dignity or if Nie Feng would publicly apologize.

Even...

The skeptics were in the majority.

With such high interest in the apology incident, naturally, there were also many eyes on Shi Yaoguang.

The news of Shi Yaoguang’s expulsion from the school quickly spread to everyone’s ears.

The school forum was ablaze with debates.

"I knew it would come to this. Shi Yaoguang must have been driven mad by her fiancé, forgetting her place and daring to challenge young master Nie. Now she got expelled by the school, not to mention making him apologize at the commencement ceremony; it’s even questionable whether she’ll attend the ceremony at all."

"Doing this to Shi Yaoguang, the Nie Family seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it? Even if she demanded an apology, it was justified. After all, he was the first to act violently..."

"Nie Feng is the treasured young master of the Nie Family while Shi Yaoguang is just a daughter who was halfway to being a nun before being reluctantly taken back, and not favored. What’s there to compare between them?"

"Young master Nie has the entire Nie Family’s support. What does Shi Yaoguang have? I heard that the Shi Family doesn’t like her, the girl from the countryside they took back; instead, they’re more concerned about the fake daughter. To appease the fake daughter, they even gave away the real daughter’s fiancé."

When it came to the matter of the fiancé, someone immediately followed up with a question.

"Didn’t I hear that it was just a temporary stand-in?"

"You must be dreaming, upstairs! Somebody managed to secure their position even after the real daughter returned, and even outshone her by getting deliberately close to the real daughter’s fiancé. The intentions are as clear as daylight, so stop trying to whitewash it here, it’s just ugly when things blow up, playing both sides like that?"

"I’ve got something to say! Regarding the real and fake daughters fighting over their fiancé, I have insider info from the police station. The fake daughter and the fiancé were both taken to the station and made a statement. It even involved statutory rape... Originally it should have been defined as rape, but the woman strongly protected him, and they changed the testimony."

"..."

The forum topic veered off topic suddenly, from discussing who would win or lose between Nie Feng and Shi Yaoguang.

Then the conversation shifted back to the scene of the engagement banquet, bringing Shi Yiqing and Quan Sicheng back into the fray once again.

Everyone was chatting animatedly when suddenly a new post appeared.

"Extra! Extra!—"

"Shi Yaoguang, she’s back!"

The poster was clearly a resident of Banshan Villa, "She’s here, she’s here, she’s coming with her megaphone!"

Responses immediately followed: "I’ve been hearing that Shi Yaoguang went to the Nie Family to cause trouble with a megaphone, can’t wait to see it in person!"

"Too thrilling, can’t talk now, I’m going to watch at the entrance."

"Watching +1"

"Let’s go, let’s go, if we don’t leave now we won’t have a spot!"

...

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know that a tour group had spontaneously organized on the forum, just waiting to watch her show off.

She mounted a megaphone with tenfold amplification on the railings at the school entrance and began a new round of censure.

"Don’t miss out as you pass by, come and see..."

No sooner had she shouted this than a large group of students gathered around.

"Shi Yaoguang, were you really expelled?"

Someone asked curiously.

"What’s with the megaphone, making such a racket? Truly a country bumpkin; no elegance whatsoever."

That was a jab at her.

"Shi Yaoguang, still not keeping a low profile after getting expelled? Aren’t you afraid the Nie Family will target you? I’d advise you to keep the peace; the Shi Family hasn’t said anything for so long, I doubt they’ll take care of you..."

Some were genuinely advising her.

Shi Yaoguang smiled at the students who showed her kindness, then turned to the megaphone to speak.

The content was straightforward.

Demand the school explain itself.

She had done nothing wrong; why should the school expel her without a word?

They didn’t even notify her personally!

Furthermore, Nie Feng, An Xu, and others still owed her an apology.

She wouldn’t just raise the issue and let it go lightly.

Not only did she want them to apologize publicly, but she also wanted to record a video as a keepsake.

To remind them forever how their noble heads had bowed.

Lastly.

She had reasonable suspicion that the school’s upper echelons were colluding with certain dignitaries, covering for one another, and acting in cahoots.

To protect the laughable dignity of certain individuals, they oppressed her, a poor little thing, without any scruples.

...

When Shi Yaoguang’s megaphone first sounded, the principal hurriedly ran towards the school entrance.

By the time he got there, Shi Yaoguang had finished her speech.

Seeing him, she even waved, "The principal has arrived, huh? Please tell us, how do you intend to handle this?"

The principal felt strangely as if he were dealing with a bandit, looking at her ready-to-settle-this-here-and-now demeanor.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he tentatively asked, "It’s tiring to stand, why don’t you come with me to the principal’s office to discuss?"

"That’s unnecessary," Shi Yaoguang flatly refused. "I am no longer a student of your esteemed school, I’m not worthy of setting foot on its precious grounds."

Principal: "... Miss Shi is too modest."

Having said that, he suddenly turned earnest and explained, "I have already preliminarily looked into your case, and it is imperative that I clarify a few things!"

"Go ahead." Shi Yaoguang looked like the perfect little angel.

The principal patted his chest, his tone tinged with a hint of distress: "The cancellation of your identity information wasn’t my doing!"

Shi Yaoguang showed an expression that said she knew all along, "The principal can order someone else to do stuff."

"No, really, it wasn’t me!" The principal was anxious. "I’ve checked the database, your file..."
