After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 42: Ancestral Body Cleansing Technique
Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Ancestral Body Cleansing Technique
"If it weren’t for you, my son Baobao would be just fine, looking for girlfriends if he wanted to!" The words brought tears streaming down Qian’s mother’s face.
"If something were to happen to my son, if he couldn’t continue the Qian family line, I’d make you, you little tramp, pay with your life!"
"Worried your son won’t live to continue the family line?"
Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue, "So, in your eyes, your son’s life isn’t as important as the Qian family legacy, is it?"
"Since that’s the case, instead of properly watching over his precious life, you let him out to bite recklessly, and now that there’s been such a mishap, you should reflect on whether you’ve been negligent in your supervision."
Qian’s mother was momentarily speechless by her words, "Don’t you talk back at me! The doctor said that my son might not recover. If anything happens to him, you can forget about living a good life for the rest of your days!"
"Oh?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes narrowed slightly, her tone laced with curiosity, "Say, if he were to become disabled, what would you do?"
"I want you to marry him and wait on him hand and foot for the rest of your life!"
Qian’s mother spoke with righteous indignation, sounding very much like a tyrannical mother-in-law from a feudal society.
"Pfft."
Shi Yaoguang laughed outright, with no respect for the other woman’s face, "They say that without shame, one is invincible. I never believed it until today."
Qian’s mother naturally caught the sarcasm in her voice, and her complexion turned very sour.
"Don’t change the subject, thinking your taunts would work on me! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son Baobao, even if I die, I’ll make sure to drag you down with me!"
Shi Yaoguang’s gaze was deep, her tone icy, "Are you serious?"
The look in her eyes made Qian’s mother feel uneasy, but she doubled down with bluff,"Of... of course, I am!"
"Oh... well then, I can rest assured."
Qian’s mother frowned subconsciously, watchful, "What new tricks are you planning to pull now?"
"What have I done?" Shi Yaoguang innocently blinked, "Didn’t you say if your son became disabled, I should marry him?"
Qian’s mother nodded assertively, insistent that she take responsibility.
Shi Yaoguang’s expression was one of yearning, "Originally, I held back. Qian Yi would have suffered only a little, but—"
She gave Qian’s mother a meaningful glance, drawing out her words, "but now, I’ve changed my mind."
Qian’s mother’s heart gave a start, her voice rising, "What are you planning to do?"
"Since Qian Yi would be disabled, and I must marry him, how could I miss such an opportunity?"
Without regard for her stiff expression, Shi Yaoguang spoke with a hint of triumph, "I’ve heard that the Qian family has invested in quite a few businesses with the profits from their oil mines, amassing assets over a hundred million, right?"
"The Qian family has only this son, Qian Yi. Sooner or later, everything will be his, and if I marry him... well, doesn’t that make everything his, mine?"
She basked in the glory of a gold-digger on the verge of soaring high and provokingly looked at Qian’s mother, "You tell me, why wouldn’t I make such a good deal?"
At this moment, Qian’s mother’s complexion defied description.
She had intended to take advantage of the situation to trouble this sly vixen who tried to seduce her son.
Unexpectdly, the other party turned out to be even craftier.
Thinking up such a malicious scheme, the thought of all the Qian’s assets ending up in the hands of such a woman made her flesh ache.
No, that couldn’t happen.
Everything of the Qian family was her son’s!
No one else could get a finger on it!
Shi Yaoguang saw through her thoughts and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Let me guess, future mother-in-law, what are you thinking about? Oh, you wouldn’t happen to be thinking that everything of the Qian Family belongs to your son, would you?"
Qian’s mother snorted coldly, "Nonsense! If my family’s things aren’t my son’s, could they possibly be yours?"
"That’s hard to say." Shi Yaoguang raised a finger and wagged it, "Qian Yi, for me, didn’t hesitate to drug me. Tell me... if I were to crook my finger at him, could he resist?"
"But then again, you value him because of his wealth, don’t you? It’s a pity to put something so important on such a useless person, as it will all go to waste eventually. But me, I have a great method that will allow you to keep it forever. Want to know what it is?"
Qian’s mother knew in her heart that this woman probably wasn’t so kind-hearted.
Yet, a voice at the bottom of her heart kept urging her not to miss out on such a good method. freewebnøvel.coɱ
So...
Struggling, Qian’s mother put on an indifferent face and finally spoke, "You tell me."
"Now, he’s the only seedling left in the Qian Family. Qian Yi lacks virtue, wisdom, physical fitness, and beauty; instead, he’s full of vices like eating, drinking, gambling, and fooling around. Such a person cannot be reformed, but... sacrificing a pawn to save a castle is still possible."
Still with a smile on her face, the words that came out of Shi Yaoguang’s mouth made all the men present shiver a little.
"Anyway, what you truly value isn’t Qian Yi himself."
"I’m so kind-hearted, of course, I wouldn’t keep a good method to myself. I have a set of ancestral purification techniques which is surely much better than having to constantly watch an unfilial son go around flirting and causing trouble, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian’s mother felt it made a lot of sense.
However, she still suspected Shi Yaoguang of having ulterior motives, "You’re that kind-hearted?"
Shi Yaoguang said righteously, "Of course, I’m more than happy to contribute a little to cleanse society."
Seeing no hint of guilt on her face, Qian’s mother couldn’t help but have second thoughts.
Could she really be overthinking it?
The policewoman watching the scene couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
When Qian’s father, who had heard about Shi Yaoguang’s arrival, came over as well.
"Husband, come here a moment."
Qian’s mother grabbed Qian’s father by the arm and whispered, "Husband, I think this little vixen might not be so bad after all; she’s actually considering our family’s situation."
Upon hearing this, Qian’s father became confused, "Considering our family? Is she aware of the trouble she’s caused and just trying to smooth talk her way out of it?"
Qian’s mother shook her head and repeated what Shi Yaoguang had just said.
Qian’s father grinded his molars, "Are you telling me that she wants to castrate our son for our family’s sake?"
"What?" Qian’s mother was instantly dumbfounded, "Who wants to castrate our Baobao?"
Qian’s father couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his wife, who was eagerly handing over money to the person who’d just conned her.
When Qian’s mother saw this, she immediately got angry, "Qian Xiangdong, what do you mean by that? Do you look down on me now that you’ve struck it rich? If I knew you were going to be such an ungrateful ingrate, I wouldn’t have sold our pots and pans to give you money to invest. It really is true that men become bad as soon as they get money..."
Qian’s father was speechless, "Why are you throwing a fit now?"
"There you go, accusing me of throwing a fit! I knew it; you must have been tired of me for a long time blah blah blah..."
Watching the Qian Family couple quarrel for no apparent reason, both Shi Yaoguang and the police felt speechless.
The mediator tried to intercede and got scolded for it, so decided to leave them to it.
Shi Yaoguang then directly requested to see Qian Yi.
