After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 54 Quan Sicheng Likes Men

Shi Yiqing was already feeling guilty, and hearing words like "investigation" made her even more sensitive.

Thus, during Jiu Yanchuan’s speech, her expression turned serious.

"Captain Jiu, have you found a way to restore the surveillance footage of the archive room?" Shi Yaoguang asked.

Although Jiu Yanchuan hadn’t gone over the script in advance with her, he knew how to improvise.

Upon seeing Shi Yaoguang giving him a hint, he revealed a troubled expression, "The surveillance has been destroyed, and it won’t be possible to recover it any time soon."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang showed regret, "Ah? Then... then that’s all we can do."

Seeing this, Jiu Yanchuan added, "However, don’t worry, I already have some leads. Even if we can’t restore the surveillance, we can start from other aspects to ensure your innocence."

Shi Yaoguang’s face immediately showed gratitude, "Really? Thank you, Captain Jiu, for your hard work."

Jiu Yanchuan said, "Don’t mention it, it’s my duty."

After speaking, he made an excuse to leave.

Shi Yaoguang watched him go before turning to look at Shi Yiqing and An Siqi.

"Why haven’t you two left?"

Shi Yiqing hurriedly lowered her head, afraid to let her see anything amiss.

An Siqi was dazedly watching Jiu Yanchuan’s retreating figure, thinking about how she could win over such an unattainable man.

Cheng Lingdang snickered and said, "Those two, they’re probably so smitten with the handsome guy they can’t move."

Saying that, she tsked at the moral decay of society.

"Sicheng, you say it’s normal for single people to fancy someone and want to pursue them..."

She looked towards Shi Yiqing with an insinuation, "Some people have already been taken, haven’t they? They already have a fiancé, yet they can’t take their eyes off of another man."

"Is this being fickle, or is it that... some people are not charismatic enough?"

Shi Yiqing’s face turned sour, "Cheng Lingdang, what do you mean by that?"

Cheng Lingdang curled her lip, "What can I mean? I’m talking to my Sicheng. I didn’t name names or point fingers, so how did I provoke you?"

"You—" Shi Yiqing raised her hand, pointing her index finger at her face.

Cheng Lingdang frowned, "Miss Shi, having been in the Shi Family for so many years, has no one taught you about manners?"

Shi Yiqing was also infuriated to act this way.

Now, being scolded by her, she felt as if Cheng Lingdang was deliberately picking fights.

She glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? How am I talking nonsense?" Cheng Lingdang snorted arrogantly, "What I said is all true."

"Just because you say it’s true, it’s true? Who knows..."

Shi Yiqing was cut off mid-sentence by Cheng Lingdang’s exaggerated interruption, "Eh, isn’t that Quan Sicheng?"

Saying that, she looked at Shi Yiqing with a teasing gaze, "Your fiancé is here, why aren’t you paying attention to him?"

Shi Yiqing, seeing her overacted performance, naturally didn’t believe her lies and immediately rolled her eyes at her, "Do you think I would believe you?"

Cheng Lingdang exaggeratedly hissed, "I’m telling the truth, your fiancé is really over there."

Shi Yaoguang glanced over and joined in, "Lingdang is telling the truth."

Shi Yiqing was even more disbelieving, "Don’t think I’ll believe a word you say."

Cheng Lingdang rolled her eyes, "Believe it or not." Wondering if she had a persecution complex.

Shi Yiqing was on guard in her heart, frightened that the two had some plot.

But at that moment, she heard Shi Yaoguang saying in an incredibly cloying tone, "Little sister, I remember you telling me before that Captain Jiu is your ideal type..." frёewebnoѵēl.com

Shi Yiqing’s heart skipped, and without thinking she retorted, "I never said that!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at her with an expression that said, "How can you make a fuss without reason": "Sister, there are no outsiders here, Siqi and Lingdang are our friends. In front of friends, what can’t be said?"

An Siqi whispered back, "Who’s your friend?"

Cheng Lingdang showed the same attitude, "Really, as if I’m longing to be your friend."

But Shi Yaoguang didn’t pay attention to them and continued with her "confession" to Shi Yiqing wholeheartedly.

"Sister, when I think about it, you’ve put so much into our relationship. The more I think about it, the sorrier I feel for you."

She pursed her lips, hung her head, and looked as if she wished she could bury herself in a hole.

Shi Yiqing’s emotion management completely collapsed, revealing a momentary distortion.

Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Ah, I know you don’t like me, but..."

"If you know that, then there’s no need for you to say anything more!"

Shi Yiqing blurted out, speaking her mind.

Shi Yaoguang completely ignored it, still showing a guilty expression.

"You clearly had a man you liked, but for my sake, you forced yourself to be tied to that inhumane scum, Quan Sicheng. I really feel too sorry for you."

"But don’t worry, I’ll find a way to create opportunities for you and Captain Jiu."

She looked determinedly at Shi Yiqing, "Sister, don’t worry, I won’t let your sacrifice for me be in vain."

Shi Yiqing: "Who’s sacrificing for you?"

She thought Shi Yaoguang must be sick.

Otherwise, why would she be so self-driven?

When did she ever say that Jiu Yanchuan was her ideal type?

Her ideal type was a man who could bring her a life of wealth and prosperity.

In short...

A promising, tall, rich, and handsome man.

Jiu Yanchuan was indeed handsome, but he had fallen to the point of coming to school as a security captain. What future could he possibly have?

One could say that Jiu Yanchuan’s profession was immediately passed over by her.

It was as if Shi Yaoguang didn’t notice her impatience, and was still monologuing and moving herself.

"Sister, I know you say these things because you don’t want me to feel too burdened."

"But it’s precisely because of this that I need to help you even more!"

Shi Yaoguang to Cheng Lingdang: "Lingdang, we’re friends, right?"

Cheng Lingdang nodded vigorously.

Shi Yaoguang asked, "Would you be willing to go through fire and water for a friend?"

Cheng Lingdang nodded again.

Shi Yaoguang: "Good. From now on, anything related to my sister and Captain Jiu will be troubling you."

"Huh?" Cheng Lingdang was unable to follow her train of thought.

Shi Yaoguang actively took Cheng Lingdang’s hand, looking very apologetic as she spoke, "Lingdang, you’re my best friend, I won’t keep it from you."

The fire of gossip blazed in Cheng Lingdang’s heart, her eyes full of urging.

Shi Yaoguang dropped a bombshell at a measured pace.

"Qingqing told me... Quan Sicheng likes men."

"What, what?" Cheng Lingdang’s mouth twitched, "That news is too explosive, isn’t it?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Such a big matter, I really shouldn’t tell others, but you’re my best friend, so it’s okay to tell you."

By then, Shi Yiqing could no longer stand still, her face dark with rage, eyes red, raising her hand as if to slap her, "Spew more nonsense, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
