Chapter 124: Chapter 124 The Kid Got into a Fight

Shi Yaoguang’s father cursed her, yet at the bottom of his heart, he was pondering whether he could snatch Shiyuan Cosmetics from her grasp.

If Shiyuan Cosmetics were the Shi Family’s property, then the problem he currently faced would readily be solved.

Shi Yaoguang’s mother was unaware of his thoughts. Hearing him curse Shi Yaoguang as a white-eyed wolf, she too chimed in a few words.

"If she had such abilities, why didn’t she show them earlier? How could we ever mistreat her? She has to sever ties with our family instead..."

Listening to his wife’s nagging, Shi Yaoguang’s father opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

Let’s wait and see.

Let’s see how much value that daughter can create.

...

Leaving aside what little schemes Shi Yaoguang’s father was concocting, when Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei left Shiyuan Cosmetics, they ran into Shi Yiqing.

Quan Jinbei went ahead to get the car, while she was stopped by Shi Yiqing.

"Sister~"

Shi Yaoguang swept her a cold glance, "Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?"

Shi Yiqing had no choice but to swallow her frustration and change her address, "Miss Shi, what a coincidence."

"Not a coincidence," Shi Yaoguang responded indifferently, with no intention of exchanging pleasantries.

Shi Yiqing didn’t take offense, "Sister... I didn’t expect Miss Shi to be so lucky, even starting her own company."

Shi Yaoguang rebuked blandly, "I didn’t start a company because I’m lucky, but because I have the capability."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

She almost couldn’t maintain her composure.

But remembering her purpose, she had to keep up the façade, "Miss Shi, I want to talk with you about a business matter, is it convenient for you?"

"Not very convenient. Just say what you have to say."

As she spoke, Shi Yaoguang checked the time, "I have other matters to attend to."

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang was so intractable, Shi Yiqing suppressed her anger and said, "I want to discuss a deal with you."

"A deal?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of mockery in her gaze, "What kind of deal do you want to talk about with me? Or should I say, what capital do you have to negotiate with me?"

Shi Yiqing felt at a loss for words. She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "We’re sisters after all. Can’t we just..."

"We can’t." Shi Yaoguang revealed an impregnable smile, "In business, we speak of business, and besides, there are no feelings between us to discuss."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang was truly unwilling to compromise, she had no choice but to take a tougher stance.

"In that case, I’ll just put the ugly words upfront."

"Go ahead."

"I know your secret," Shi Yiqing said with malice in her eyes, "If you don’t meet my demands, I’ll reveal this secret to Third Master."

"A secret?" Shi Yaoguang was curious. Did she have any secrets?

Shi Yiqing was extremely confident, "I know that the child in your belly is not Third Master’s!"

After saying this, she showed a veiled sense of self-satisfaction.

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Momentarily speechless, she admitted frankly, "Indeed, the child in my belly is not his."

Shi Yiqing was not surprised by the admission, "This secret should be enough for me to make a demand, right?"

Shi Yaoguang looked at her meaningfully, "What makes you think I will let you manipulate me? Sure, the child in my belly isn’t my husband’s, and you know this secret. Will you only use it once?"

"If you were to manipulate me over and over again, what can I do? Am I supposed to let you threaten me?"

Shi Yiqing frowned slightly, "I know you don’t want to be threatened by me, I can assure you, I won’t threaten you again."

By this point in the conversation, she felt it should be enough.

He fixed Shi Yaoguang with an unwavering gaze, "I believe you won’t refuse."

Shi Yaoguang lowered her gaze as if she were deep in thought.

After waiting a while, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but up the ante, "It’s not only that I know the child in your womb isn’t the Third Master’s, but I also have photos of you on intimate outings with a man!"

She smugly raised her cellphone, "What do you say, if I release the photos, will the Third Master still accept you without any reservations?"

"You..." Shi Yaoguang’s face showed urgency as she reached out to snatch the cellphone.

Shi Yiqing, anticipating this, swung the phone in her hand, "I’ve already backed it up ahead of time, even if you take the phone, the photos are still in my hands."

"You’re despicable!" Shi Yaoguang exclaimed angrily.

Shi Yiqing enjoyed the expression, "Go on and curse, no matter how nasty your words are, you still have to listen to me!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at her with disgust. After a long while, she finally gave up resisting, her expression showing clear defeat.

"Speak, what on earth do you want?"

Shi Yiqing knew she would compromise, and immediately stated her demand, "I want... Shiyuan Cosmetics to be mine."

Shi Yaoguang nearly burst into laughter upon hearing this.

She played along with Shi Yiqing’s act, yet Shi Yiqing really dared to make such a brazen demand.

Shi Yiqing knew her request was excessive, but she didn’t feel guilty at all.

From her perspective, the condition she posed was not excessive in the slightest.

"I’m trading your secret for a company, you’re not losing anything," she said.

Shi Yaoguang remained poker-faced.

Seeing this, Shi Yiqing threw down a more potent threat, "If you don’t agree, I’ll visit Quan Mansion, I believe, the Third Master would be very pleased to see me!"

"No way!" Shi Yaoguang blurted out in refusal.

Shi Yiqing tugged at the corner of her mouth, "So, do you agree to my terms?"

Shi Yaoguang, "I do not agree."

Shi Yiqing’s face immediately turned sour, "What do you really mean? My demand has been laid out. If you don’t agree, I’ll go straight to the Third Master and tell him that the child in your belly isn’t his!"

"If he finds out you cheated during your marriage, you definitely won’t have a good ending!"

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flickered, seemingly swayed, "Give me some time to think about it."

Shi Yiqing thought for a moment and agreed.

"I’ll give you three days to think it over. If you don’t agree by then, I’ll go find the Third Master!"

Having said her piece, Shi Yiqing left with her head held high and chest out.

Shi Yaoguang watched her leave, slowly curving her lips into a smile.

Quan Jinbei took a minute before driving the car over.

Once Shi Yaoguang was in the car, he asked, "What did she want from you?"

Shi Yaoguang smiled playfully, "She came to threaten me."

"Threaten you?"

"Mhm." Shi Yaoguang gently caressed her abdomen and said mockingly, "She claims she knows the child inside me isn’t yours, and that she has photos of you and me going out together, planning to use that to threaten me."

Quan Jinbei, inexplicably labeled a cuckold, "..."

After a pause, he suggested, "We should get rid of the child then."

"No way."

Shi Yaoguang drawled, "Since Shi Yiqing wants to use this child to threaten me, I’m actually curious to see how far she can go."

Quan Jinbei’s eyes swept over her flat abdomen with a complex gaze, his tone helpless, "Then how long do you plan to keep it?"

"Hmm..." Shi Yaoguang hesitated, "For a little while longer."
