After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 63 Shi Yiqing Wants to Whitewash?
Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Shi Yiqing Wants to Whitewash?
When this statement came out, except for a few fools, most people knew what was going on.
Shi Yiqing, this false heiress who took over the cuckoo’s nest, shamelessly seduced the fiancé of the real heiress.
She even deceived the real heiress, claiming it was for her own good, wanting to test the marriage to see if Quan Sicheng was truly worthy of trust.
In reality, she was just finding excuses for her own actions.
The so-called deep sisterly love was nothing but a fig leaf.
Now, with Shi Yaoguang’s reputation compromised, it was the best opportunity for a whitewash.
Yu Zhenzhen arrived with people and verbally humiliated Shi Yaoguang.
After which, Shi Yiqing jumped out, tearfully overturning Shi Yaoguang’s previous statements.
Her eyes reddened, she stood in front of her, a face full of grief and indignation.
"Sister, you... you really disappoint me!"
As she spoke, large tears fell one by one.
Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows twitched, "How have I disappointed you?"
"You..." Biting her lower lip, she whined with a pitiful grievance, "After all this, Sister, do you still want to hide from me?"
"What have I hidden from you?" Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms and watched her calmly, her face showing no sign of panic.
Seeing her like this, Shi Yiqing felt an even deeper resentment towards her.
Why?
Why did she have to exert so much effort to clear her name?
And her?
Even though she was pushed to the center of the controversy, she could still remain so composed.
Why?
A hint of malice flickered in Shi Yiqing’s eyes, yet her face remained pitifully woeful, the very picture of utter disappointment.
"Sister, I’ve always felt so sorry for you. To think that my apologies were in fact superfluous, you don’t deserve my regrets at all!"
She emphasized her words as she spoke.
"At the engagement ceremony, when you were late, I had no choice but to take your place and hold the engagement ceremony with Brother Sicheng. But what about you?"
"When you finally arrived, without saying a word, you suspected something between Brother Sicheng and me, even that I had deliberately replaced you. I admit I had a little crush, after all, the one who grew up with Brother Sicheng as childhood sweethearts was me!"
"But even if I had thoughts about him, I have always abided by the rules, not daring to step beyond bounds. But you—"
"Hold on a second." Shi Yaoguang interjected lightly, cutting off her impassioned speech, "I think there is a problem with what you are saying."
Shi Yiqing looked at her puzzled.
Shi Yaoguang propped her chin, curiosity brimming, "You say that you and Quan Sicheng were childhood sweethearts, that you never dared to cross the line and always adhered to proper conduct. Is that true?"
Shi Yiqing nodded vigorously, her face even showing a hint of hurt because Shi Yaoguang didn’t believe her.
Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Really? Then... have I wronged you?"
Shi Yiqing turned her head away, showing an unwillingness to speak more with her.
Shi Yaoguang said somberly, "Since I’ve wronged you, I’m willing to apologize to you."
Shi Yiqing suddenly looked up, her eyes full of astonishment.
She didn’t believe Shi Yaoguang was unaware of what the true facts were.
How could she possibly apologize to her?
At this thought, a panic flickered at the bottom of Shi Yiqing’s heart.
Could it be... she had some sort of scheme?
As she was pondering, she heard her say, "I called the police that day, and the police took you and Quan Sicheng into custody."
"..." Shi Yiqing’s heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
How could she have forgotten about that?
She had been so focused on clearing her own name that she had overlooked this detail.
On the day of the engagement, Shi Yaoguang had indeed called the police.
She and Quan Sicheng had indeed entered the police station as victim and perpetrator and made their statements.
That was an indisputable fact.
At that time, she and Quan Sicheng had admitted that they had had sexual relations.
What she said today was like slapping her own face.
Thinking of this, her complexion soured.
Shi Yaoguang looked at her, shrugged, and said, "Sister, you remember what happened that day, right? Now... do you still insist that you and Quan Sicheng have always abided by propriety and never crossed the line?"
Shi Yiqing’s expression stiffened for a moment, then her eyes reddened and she looked at her tearfully, "Sister, I really regard you as my sister, why are you being so aggressive towards me?"
"Aggressive?" Shi Yaoguang sounded as if she had heard a joke, sneering, "Is it because you don’t do well in school that you don’t understand what you’re saying?"
"I... I didn’t!"
Shi Yiqing once again wore an expression of humiliation, "Sister, why do you have to slander me?"
What Shi Yaoguang said sounded perfectly reasonable to everyone else.
But to her ears, there was an indescribable mockery.
After all, she was the one who had stolen the other’s test paper.
As for...
In her opinion, the reason why Shi Yaoguang didn’t ask for a retake certainly must be because Shi Yaoguang dared not.
This also confirmed her previous suspicion that the reason Shi Yaoguang could achieve the top score was entirely premeditated.
She had gotten the test answers in advance, and under those circumstances, even rote memorization would have led to a perfect score.
Based on this guess, Shi Yiqing wasn’t worried about Shi Yaoguang demanding a retake, but she also didn’t want to expose her own act of switching the test papers.
Having switched the test papers, not only would she lose her first place, but she would also be ridiculed.
And now...
All she could do was endure Shi Yaoguang’s scorn and mockery.
Every time she thought about Shi Yaoguang deliberately insinuating that her own grades were poor, she saw Shi Yaoguang as a person with deep-seated schemes.
"Sister, why must you mock me like this?"
Yu Zhenzhen, who was aside, couldn’t bear it anymore and started to mock as well.
"Shi Yaoguang, do you have no shame? You say Qingqing’s academic performance is poor, so does that mean yours is good?"
"What a huge joke, the one ranked last doesn’t know to reflect, but instead makes fun of the top ranker, it’s truly..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang just looked at Shi Yiqing with a meaningful gaze, "I’m sorry, Qingqing, I forgot, this time you are the one who ranked first."
"Since your grades are so good, I wonder if you can maintain being the first next time?"
What she said was clearly a provocation.
Shi Yiqing knew it was a trap, yet she couldn’t help walking into it.
Otherwise...
Shi Yaoguang would have certainly held onto it, although that was only her guess.
So, she said confidently, "I have a lot of confidence in my grades, so my sister doesn’t need to worry about that."
"It’s good that you’re confident, that makes me, as your sister, very relieved," Shi Yaoguang responded.
Shi Yiqing forced a smile, "Thank you for your concern, sister."
"Not at all," Shi Yaoguang waved her hand, happily accepting her thanks.
Shi Yiqing: "..."
Feeling somewhat frustrated.
From within the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "Don’t let Shi Yaoguang lead you astray, she’s just trying to change the subject."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Right?
Shi Yaoguang really was a person with deep schemes: She had managed to divert the topic without anyone noticing.
