After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 96 The Good News Comes Last

"Can’t I go?"

Hearing Quan Jinbei ask this, Shi Yaoguang gave a definite answer, "No."

Quan Jinbei’s handsome face fell, revealing a dejected expression.

"Do you dislike me that much?"

As he spoke, he even blinked his eyes in a seemingly genuine manner.

Shi Yaoguang clutched her chest, feeling that this was a devastatingly handsome strike.

Quan Jinbei usually wore his gold-rimmed glasses with the flashy eyeglass chain, both at home and outside.

Ever since he started his cultivation, he had taken off the glasses.

Curious, Shi Yaoguang once asked him if his vision had improved because of the cultivation.

Who knew, he would say,

"I wear plain glasses."

Shi Yaoguang was shocked at the time.

She had always thought Quan Jinbei was nearsighted or farsighted, but it turned out he wore glasses just for that look.

In that instant, she felt as if she could hear the sound of her illusions shattering.

Quan Jinbei, however, had thick skin and didn’t feel embarrassed in the slightest.

Seeing her struggling to accept his words, he said very calmly, "With glasses, I seem gentler."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang scrutinized him once more.

Quan Jinbei’s facial features were absolutely exquisite.

Especially those delicate, narrow phoenix eyes of his—so... sharp.

Hmm, she could probably understand why Quan Jinbei said he looked a bit gentler with glasses.

Without glasses, his gaze indeed seemed fiercer.

But that was for other people.

Shi Yaoguang had faced many dangers and had seen many ferocious people.

Even she herself had been on the battlefield and killed enemies.

Being immersed in such an environment, her perception of others’ emotions was not that pronounced.

To put it simply, she was used to it. She was accustomed to facing fierce people, so Quan Jinbei’s gaze, which seemed somewhat fierce to others, was just right to her.

Speaking of which, after Shi Yaoguang survived Quan Jinbei’s handsome blow, she prepared to set off to the Shi Family.

Quan Jinbei still wasn’t giving up, "If I go with you, I can not only support you but also take care of any troublesome obstacles. Are you really not going to take me with you?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head firmly, "No."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on his impressively long legs with a hint of disdain in her voice, "Do you believe if you went with me to the Shi Family, they would immediately retract and say the official website’s message wasn’t posted by them but that their account was hacked?"

Quan Jinbei clicked his tongue lightly, "Shameless."

With the conversation reaching this point, he couldn’t keep insisting and could only suggest, "Let Chen Yidu go with you. Since you want to cut ties, cut them cleanly and don’t let them bother you again."

Shi Yaoguang nodded in complete agreement, "That’s exactly what I’m thinking."

The Shi Family.

When Shi Yaoguang, the uninvited guest, arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Shi and Shi Yiqing were in the midst of a warm and affectionate gathering.

Seeing her, their jovial atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Mr. Shi paused for two seconds, his tone unfriendly, "What are you here for?"

Shi Yaoguang responded unfazed, "It seems I’ve come at a bad time."

Shi Yiqing hurriedly stammered, "Sister, you’re being too formal. Coming back to your own home, when is it ever a bad time? Mom and Dad have missed you for so long; they are really concerned about you."

"Who cares about missing her?"

Shi’s mother couldn’t wait to tear down Shi Yiqing’s stage.

Shi Yiqing deliberately displayed an embarrassed and helpless expression, "Mom, please don’t say that, my sister will be sad if she hears you."

"So what if she’s sad?" Shi’s mother was very dismissive, "Having Qingqing in our family is enough, some lowlife scum should just roll back to wherever they came from!"

Shi Yaoguang casually cleaned her ears, "Madam Shi is speaking in riddles, who could she be hinting at?"

As she spoke these words, she glanced meaningfully at Shi Yaoguang, "Could it be that you already know who my dear sister’s mother is?"

Shi Yiqing’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Her origins had always been unclear.

Before, Shi Yaoguang had been sent to the countryside, and upon being brought back, it was only said that there had been a mix-up.

What had actually happened, neither Shi’s father nor mother knew.

If they didn’t know, how could Shi Yaoguang possibly know?

With this thought, Shi Yiqing felt somewhat relieved.

Upon hearing these words, however, Shi’s mother felt that Shi Yaoguang was deliberately saying this to vex others and did not take it seriously.

In fact, these were not just random speculations from Shi Yaoguang.

In the original plotline, Shi Yiqing’s biological parents were never revealed.

But...

This little pitiable creature, who had been manipulated by the plot her whole life, had accidentally found out about her real origins.

And what a tragic relationship it was.

With that in mind, she gave Shi’s mother a sympathetic look.

Shi’s mother felt uncomfortable under her gaze, her face growing even darker.

Of course, Shi Yaoguang’s sympathy for Shi’s mother was not because Shi Yiqing was Shi’s father’s illegitimate child.

However, Shi Yiqing indeed had the Shi Family’s blood running through her veins, she just wasn’t Shi’s father’s biological daughter, that’s all.

Considering everything, Shi Yiqing should actually address Shi’s father as ’Uncle.’

These things, Shi Yaoguang had not yet planned to tell Shi’s father or mother.

Good news should always be revealed at the end, after all.

Thinking this, Shi Yaoguang wasted no more time and, beckoning with her hand, called Chen Yidu, who was following behind her, over.

Seeing Chen Yidu, Shi Yiqing was very puzzled, "Sister, why did you bring Lawyer Chen here?"

"Aren’t you all keen on severing ties with me? I brought Lawyer Chen here as a witness."

Shi Yaoguang said, taking a contract from Chen Yidu’s hand.

Looking at the disownment agreement in black and white, both Shi’s father and Shi’s mother were stunned.

After the initial shock, Shi’s father became uncontrollably angry.

"Shi Yaoguang! By doing this, do you still have any regard for me as your father?"

Shi Yaoguang looked confused, "Didn’t we agree to sever our relationship? Mr. Shi, how could you be so forgetful? It was you who first brought up the idea of severing ties."

Although she was outwardly polite, her attitude still displeased Shi’s father.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t indulge him and threatened plainly, "To be frank, I don’t want to be the Shi Family’s heiress anymore. Since we are severing ties, it would be better to make it official and go through the legal process."

"I’ve already repaid the debt of upbringing. If you have no shame and want to wrangle with me for more benefits out of my hands, that’s not out of the question to discuss."

Shi’s father’s face turned dark immediately upon hearing this, "Who wants to negotiate with you?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded amiably, "That’s fine too, it means I haven’t misjudged you."

Shi’s father: "..."

Shi Yaoguang passed the contract to him, "Regarding the terms of the disownment contract, I’ve listed them. If you have no objections, just sign it."

Seeing the contract being forced into his hands, Shi’s father’s expression turned even fouler.
