After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 90: Swap Eighty Million for Her Utter Ruin
Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Swap Eighty Million for Her Utter Ruin
After being rejected by Shi Yaoguang, An Siqi indeed went to look for Shi Yiqing.
Upon learning that she was being sued for eighty million by the live streaming company, Shi Yiqing’s first reaction was to distance herself.
"You owe so much money, I can’t do anything..."
An Siqi had already been rejected once, and if she was rejected again, she would have nowhere else to turn.
She naturally wouldn’t let Shi Yiqing just watch from the sidelines.
She didn’t have any leverage over Shi Yiqing, so to get her help, she could only cater to her interests.
As a fake rich heiress, Shi Yiqing was naturally sensitive about her status.
She was also naturally wary of Shi Yaoguang, the true heiress.
An Siqi pondered her thoughts and came up with an idea.
"Qingqing, I have an idea."
"What idea?" Shi Yiqing didn’t want to help, but was interested in the drama.
An Siqi said fiercely, "Just give me eighty million, and I can make sure Shi Yaoguang will never be able to return to the Shi Family!"
"Really?" Shi Yiqing asked subconsciously, realizing too late that she had reacted too strongly, she hurriedly put on an indifferent expression, "The Shi Family is not my home alone, what does it matter to me whether she returns or not?"
An Siqi did not expose her act, but assured confidently: "I grew up with her since we were kids, I know all sorts of secrets that no one else does..."
"If you agree to my terms, I’ll make sure she never recovers."
Shi Yiqing was tempted.
She asked with a mix of doubt and hope, "What kind of leverage do you have?"
"The leverage I have is reliable," An Siqi said, giving away nothing else.
Shi Yiqing was very curious, but coming up with eighty million on short notice was not easy for her.
An Siqi gave her three days to think about it, "Qingqing, think it over carefully."
After thinking for a while, Shi Yiqing asked, "What if I can’t come up with eighty million?"
"If you can’t come up with eighty million, then... I’ll have to go to the uncles and aunts of the Shi Family," An Siqi said, displaying a triumphant smile, "I think they’ll be very interested in what I have."
...
After Shi Yaoguang advised An Siqi to seek out Shi Yiqing, she too was busy with her own plans.
She went to see Zheng Xiuxin that day. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Zheng Xiuxin had been applying ointment for nearly half a month, and the scars on her face had faded considerably.
From a distance, the once ghastly and terrifying scars were completely unnoticeable.
Even standing face-to-face, the scars were almost invisible.
When Shi Yaoguang arrived, both Zheng Xiuxin and her brother Zheng Ze were there.
On seeing her, the siblings’ eyes simultaneously lit up.
"Miss Shi!"
Shi Yaoguang nodded at them, and having confirmed that the wounds on her face had started regenerating, she confidently prepared a suitable ointment for her.
After she was done, Zheng Ze eagerly asked, "Will my sister be healed after applying the ointment?"
Shi Yaoguang nodded affirmatively.
Zheng Xiuxin and Zheng Ze exchanged glances, tears welling up in their eyes.
They had both assumed that Zheng Xiuxin’s face was irreversibly disfigured.
The possibility of recovery was a cause for joy how could they not be delighted?
Amidst their excitement, the siblings seemed to hold back something they wanted to say.
Shi Yaoguang then said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Zheng Ze said, "The products from Xiaoqi’s live stream hurt a lot of people. In addition to my sister, there are many other victims, whose faces have been more or less damaged..."
Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have their contact information?"
"Yes," Zheng Ze replied, taking out his phone to show her, revealing a chat group with victims just like Zheng Xiuxin.
Zheng Xiuxin was the most unlucky of them, with the others suffering somewhat lesser extents.
Even so, her face was disfigured to the point she couldn’t show herself in public.
Shi Yaoguang had Zheng Ze add her to a group chat and, after learning about their situation in detail, she went back and formulated an ointment according to their needs.
She was willing to provide the ointment to these victims for free, but with one condition.
They had to record the effects after using the ointment, as feedback.
Since her disfigured face could be healed, no one refused Shi Yaoguang’s minor request.
After they agreed, Shi Yaoguang had someone send the ointment to them.
She made such a request, firstly, to safeguard against unexpected needs.
An Siqi’s feud with the live streaming company was bound to once again implicate her, an innocent bystander.
Secondly, she planned to start a medicinal cosmetics company to honor and expand the field of Chinese medicine.
It was partly inspired by Revival Cream, as certain diseases that Western medicine couldn’t cure could be treated with the nurturing of Chinese medicine.
After all, she was once the young valley master of Divine Doctor Valley, so this was something she could achieve.
In a flash, three days passed.
The three-day ultimatum An Siqi gave Shi Yiqing had arrived.
Early in the morning, Shi Yiqing was pressed by An Siqi for answers.
"Qingqing, how have you thought it over?"
Shi Yiqing couldn’t wait to see An Siqi bring Shi Yaoguang down.
But...
It was impossible for her to come up with eighty million all at once.
"Siqi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I’m really powerless..."
Shi Yiqing posed as if she was in a difficult position in front of An Siqi.
An Siqi had no sympathy to spare, facing her own crisis, why would she act like a lovesick fool?
She bluntly issued a harsh ultimatum, "I’ll leave it here, either give me the money..."
"Or I go to the Shi Family!"
Shi Yiqing frowned, "What makes you so sure that if you go to the Shi Family, you will definitely get the money?"
After all, eighty million wasn’t a small sum, and based on what Shi Yiqing knew about her father, he wouldn’t let such a large sum of money be frittered away.
An Siqi revealed a smile full of certainty, "Of course I can get the money."
"Compared to a scandal breaking out in the Shi Family, I believe they would rather give me eighty million to avoid disaster."
The moment Shi Yiqing heard this, she became highly vigilant, "What scandal?"
"You want to know?"
"Of course I’m curious."
"Give me the money, and I’ll tell you."
Shi Yiqing: "..."
An Siqi took a deep breath, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t give the money; after all, I’m about to die and don’t mind dragging the Shi Family down with me."
Shi Yiqing’s heart seized up instantly; An Siqi’s confident attitude didn’t seem like mere bravado.
What was her source of confidence?
Worried that she couldn’t keep Shi Yiqing’s interest, An Siqi thought it over and decided to give a hint.
"Back in junior high, before Shi Yaoguang was recognized by the Shi Family, she was bullied and photographed..."
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Shi Yiqing’s eyes, "Are you certain?"
"If I didn’t have evidence in my hands, do you think I’d be this confident?"
When An Siqi spoke these words, there was not the slightest trace of guilt on her face.
Shi Yiqing thought that if An Siqi truly had those kinds of photos, Shi Yaoguang’s fall into disgrace was inevitable.
By then, neither the Shi Family nor the Quan Family would be willing to accept her!
