After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 59: Sorry, I Forgot You Don’t Have the Guts

Shi Yiqing was quite embarrassed and only then explained her behavior.

"I...I just didn’t want to make Sister upset."

Once Quan Sicheng heard this, he immediately believed her.

While he had full faith in Shi Yiqing, his contempt for Shi Yaoguang grew even stronger.

Indeed, she was nothing but a country bumpkin with no manners.

Qingqing kindly helped her, yet she turned against her and took the matter to the principal.

Now, the principal’s impression of Qingqing must have plummeted.

Quan Sicheng’s one-sided grudge did not elicit any response.

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang deliberately ignored him, his face grew even darker.

Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help but sigh, "Someone said you were brainless before, and I didn’t believe it, but now it seems the rumors didn’t lie to me."

Quan Sicheng shot her a look, "What does this have to do with you?"

"My brother has been used, of course I have to stand up and clear his name."

Cheng Lingdang said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Use her?" Quan Sicheng showed his trademark smirk that resembled a Dragon King’s, disdainfully saying, "Does she even have any value to be used?"

That was a really unpleasant thing to say.

Cheng Lingdang was so angry she wanted to duel with him on the spot.

"Say that again if you dare!"

No sooner had she spoken than she laughed out, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot, you don’t have the guts."

Quan Sicheng: "..."

Damn!!

Indeed, she was a fault-finder, always picking fights.

"Although you said something wrong, I don’t blame you; after all, not everyone can be as forgiving and generous as I am."

"As for having any value to be used, my brother doesn’t need that at all."

Quan Sicheng rolled his eyes, "Trash is trash, why make excuses?"

"You’re the trash! Small and quick is one thing, but you also like men! Liking men is one thing, but you’re also a bottom! But I can understand that because, after all... with your size, that’s all you’re fit for."

Quan Sicheng’s face turned utterly black, "You——"

"Don’t ’you’ me. If you can speak, speak properly. Don’t act as though you’re about to have a stroke out of anger at any moment; it makes you look useless, what’s commonly known as trash."

"Plus! My brother doesn’t need to prove her worth by being used, she should be like a flag bearer!"

Cheng Lingdang happily finished what she wanted to say and then turned on Shi Yiqing.

"And you!"

Shi Yiqing instinctively went on defense. novelbuddy.cσ๓

This person was too much of a hassle.

She had thought that as long as Shi Yaoguang was taken care of, there would be nothing to worry about.

But every time Shi Yaoguang spoke, it was to smear her.

Or else, it was Cheng Lingdang charging to the front lines.

Like now, for instance.

Cheng Lingdang adamantly clung to the issue of her stealing the test papers.

"You better give us a reasonable explanation, what was your purpose in getting An Siqi to steal the test papers?"

Shi Yiqing showed a saddened look, gazing at Quan Sicheng with grievance: "Brother Sicheng, I just didn’t want Sister to be misunderstood. I wanted to clear her name. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Quan Sicheng comforted her with a pained heart, "There’s nothing wrong, you’ve done nothing wrong, it’s just that some people are naturally cold-hearted. They not only fail to appreciate what you’ve done for them, but they also oppose you at every turn."

"Qingqing, it’s not your fault, believe me."

Shi Yiqing’s face showed gratitude: "Brother Sicheng, I believe you."

As they spoke, the two of them lovingly snuggled together.

Cheng Lingdang felt like her teeth were dissolving in acid.

"Do you really have to exaggerate so much?"

She shook the nonexistent goosebumps from her arms, "How long has it been since Aunt Chongyao wrote one of her Bug Bite Dramas? And here you are still being so mushy. Don’t you think it’s a bit over the top?"

Shi Yiqing buried her head in Quan Sicheng’s arms, while Quan Sicheng, with a stern face, opened his mouth as if to scold.

However, Shi Yaoguang didn’t give him the chance to throw his weight around.

She walked up to Quan Sicheng and slapped him on the head.

"Idiot!"

Quan Sicheng was clobbered on the head, feeling wronged.

Quan Sicheng was scolded and felt very aggrieved.

His eyes looking at Shi Yaoguang were all wrong now, as if he were accusing Shi Yaoguang of being too much.

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered with him and looked straight at Shi Yiqing.

"My dear sister, you say you stole the test papers for me, is that true?"

Shi Yiqing nodded, emotionally saying, "Sister, I know you don’t want to lose to Teacher Qin. Don’t worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you. As long as there is no test paper, Teacher Qin can’t make you do anything."

But Shi Yaoguang wasn’t satisfied, "Then wouldn’t I still have to see him at school?"

"No, isn’t that enough?" Shi Yiqing felt that allowing Shi Yaoguang to stay peacefully at school was already very kind of her.

She couldn’t possibly want more, could she?

Indeed, that’s exactly what she wanted.

Looking at Shi Yaoguang’s matter-of-fact nodding, Shi Yiqing felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

But Shi Yaoguang still said, "Dear sister, since you’ve already helped me once, you wouldn’t mind helping me a second time, would you?"

"This..." Shi Yiqing hesitated.

Quan Sicheng, on the other hand, was furious, "Shi Yaoguang, don’t go too far!"

"What have I done now?"

Shi Yaoguang tilted her head, looking at him in genuine confusion.

"Qingqing isn’t your slave; you have no right to order her around!"

Quan Sicheng hugged Shi Yiqing’s slender waist tightly, glaring at Shi Yaoguang with round eyes like bronze bells, "You bully Qingqing right in front of me. I can’t even imagine what you might have done to her when I’m not around!"

"..."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t feel much like talking.

Dealing with such an idiot, she thought...

Every extra word was an honor for him.

This was where Cheng Lingdang came in handy.

She went straight back at Quan Sicheng for Shi Yaoguang, "Young Master Quan, have you been flattered so much that you’ve lost touch with reality?"

"Is Shi Yiqing your mother or your ancestor? Do you just believe everything she says?"

Quan Sicheng sneered, "Qingqing is my fiancée, and if I don’t believe her, who should I believe, you?"

"I don’t care if you believe me. I’m just giving you a heads up."

Quan Sicheng glanced at her, wary of whatever trick she might be pulling next.

"Shi Yiqing claims that everything she does is for her sister’s benefit. So, let me ask, when her sister was slandered and had mud thrown at her, why didn’t you speak up?"

Shi Yiqing looked confused, "When was my sister slandered?"

"What are you, living under a rock?" Cheng Lingdang gave her a sidelong glance, "Even if you’re out of the loop, people around you must have talked about it, right?"

"When the test papers from the archive room disappeared, everyone pointed their suspicions at Brother Shi. Did you speak up then?"

"You say you want what’s best for Brother Shi, so why didn’t you come forward to explain and clear his name right away?"

Shi Yiqing bit her lip, tears falling from her eyes in grievance, "I, I was just too scared, I meant well, I really didn’t know that my sister would be misunderstood..."
