After the True Heiress Travels Back

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Love Me, Love My Dog

Chen Shu really showed his foolishness this time.

He also knew that repeatedly "forcing" cuckolds onto Quan Jinbei’s head in accusation was quite improper.

Because of this, he sincerely repented.

And the price of his repentance was to successfully provide false testimony at all costs.

In plain terms, this meant he...

was about to, for this, offer up his own beauty.

Yes, beauty.

This story begins with the family doctor at the old Quan residence.

Years ago, the neighbor next door to Chen Shu had a daughter.

Before the girl was born, the two families casually promised her hand in an arranged childhood marriage.

The so-called arranged marriage, neither of the families took seriously.

Only the neighbor’s daughter took it to heart.

The neighbor’s daughter truly fell for Chen Shu.

Her aim had always been to marry Chen Shu.

For this reason, she had always followed in Chen Shu’s footsteps since they were children.

Knowing Chen Shu liked medical studies, she also went on to study medicine.

Knowing that Chen Shu and Quan Jinbei had a good relationship, she deliberately went around in circles to connect with the old master of the Quan family.

She actively applied to become the family doctor for the Quan family.

And her actions indeed brought her a lot of benefits.

At the very least, she could see Chen Shu twice a year during the medical check-ups.

Chen Shu, thinking about what he was about to give up, wished he could travel back in time and slap his own gossiping self.

"What kind of karma is this for me to end up in such a situation?"

Jiu Yanchuan looked at the woeful Chen Shu and clucked his tongue lightly, "You should be thankful for Third Brother’s mercy."

"Whimper!" Chen Shu grew even more aggrieved, "Can you blame me for misunderstanding? Who made Brother Bei act so provocatively in front of me..."

As he finished speaking, he felt the air suddenly grow quiet.

He stiffly turned his head and met Quan Jinbei’s cold gaze.

"Brother Bei, I was wrong!"

Chen Shu immediately apologized with a wry smile.

Quan Jinbei responded with a laugh instead of anger, "I don’t blame you."

Chen Shu’s eyes welled up with moved tears, "I knew Brother Bei, you were kind to me..."

"I am here to notify you to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

Chen Shu’s smile froze, "But didn’t you say you would give me time?"

"That was before."

"..."

Chen Shu’s face showed regret.

He shouldn’t have believed what Brother Bei said.

Talking about not being angry.

Is this what not being angry looks like?

If he wasn’t angry, he wouldn’t make me do this kind of thing again!

If he wasn’t angry, then...

Watching tears fall from Chen Shu’s eyes, Jiu Yanchuan sighed, "It’s partly my fault too."

"Your fault?" Chen Shu turned to him, puzzled, "What did you do?"

Jiu Yanchuan: "I should have reminded you not to talk nonsense."

Chen Shu: "..."

He hummed sarcastically with a feigned smile, "I suspect you’re saying this to mock me."

"You guessed right," Jiu Yanchuan said.

Chen Shu: "!"

Damn, is there no brotherly love left in this world? Every single one bullies me!

...

At the Quan Mansion.

The old master Quan was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the latest issue of the newspaper.

On one side, the old butler stood there respectfully, waiting for instructions.

After he finished reading a newspaper, he finally spoke up, "Have there been any news about the third brother recently?"

The old butler said, "The third master has been well recently."

Patriarch Quan frowned, "Wasn’t he said to be getting worse a while back?"

The old butler hesitated before saying, "It’s true that the third master’s sickness had worsened a bit before, but..."

"But what?"

"It seems that the third master’s health has been quite good lately..." the old butler said carefully, "Previously when the third master was ill, you had someone arrange for the fourth young master to get engaged and married quickly. There was a bit of an accident, and the fourth young master’s fiancée ultimately became the third master’s wife."

"Perhaps their marriage has brought some joy, and since then, the third master’s health has improved quite a bit."

Having said that, Patriarch Quan’s face looked very unpleasant, "Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter before?"

"This... This was what you had commanded before," the old butler said weakly, "You had said before that no matter what happened, not to tell you."

Patriarch Quan’s face looked bad, "That was because I didn’t want to..."

He paused halfway through his sentence and sighed, "I don’t want to talk about this now. Call the third and fourth sons, tell them both to roll back here!"

"What about... the eldest and second brothers?"

The old butler asked.

Quan Jinbei was called the third master also because of the Quan Family’s order of seniority.

Patriarch Quan, in his lifetime, had only married one wife through formal marriage.

And that was Quan Jinbei’s mother.

The eldest and second of the Quan Family were born to mistresses he had outside.

Because of their illegitimate birth, they didn’t have much status within the Quan Family.

Quan Jinbei was a son his wife had risked her life to give birth to; naturally, Patriarch Quan valued him greatly.

But the relationship between father and son was actually not close.

In Patriarch Quan’s words, Quan Jinbei was sentenced to death as soon as he was born.

He feared becoming deeply attached to a child who was doomed to die young and ending up with nothing.

Therefore, his attitude towards Quan Jinbei had always been indifferent.

It was the opposite with Quan Sicheng.

His favoritism towards Quan Sicheng was said to be because he couldn’t give this affection to Quan Jinbei, so he had to doubly compensate Quan Sicheng.

To this, Quan Jinbei naturally scoffed.

For so many years, he had never bothered to compete for anything.

If he had been so inclined, he would have done it long ago.

And he wouldn’t have always kept to himself.

...

Quan Mansion.

Upon receiving the call from the old butler, the butler was very surprised.

After hanging up, he relayed the matter to Quan Jinbei, feeling very anxious.

"Third master, what do you think the patriarch means? Why did he suddenly ask you to return? And he strongly insists that you must bring the wife along."

Quan Jinbei sneered, "What else could it be? It’s probably his wanting to side with his illegitimate child."

"Illegitimate... illegitimate child?" the butler was a bit perplexed.

It was no secret among their circle that the eldest and second brothers of the Quan Family were illegitimate.

Similarly, it was no secret that Patriarch Quan did not like these two children.

They had been sent away years ago.

Now, each sticks to their own small company, living a tightfisted life.

Therefore, the butler couldn’t quite understand Quan Jinbei’s words.

But Quan Jinbei did not explain much and prepared to take Shi Yaoguang to the appointment.

On the other side.

Quan Sicheng also received the notice.

Upon learning that the patriarch wanted to see him, he was somewhat excited.

Shi Yiqing was somewhat flustered, "Brother Sicheng, does Grandpa Quan really want me to go with you to see him?"

Quan Sicheng nodded, looking at her with an encouraging gaze, "Qingqing, don’t worry, grandfather wants to see you because he likes you."

Shi Yiqing playfully punched his shoulder, "Grandpa Quan hasn’t even met me, how could he like me?"

Quan Sicheng said confidently, "There’s a saying that love for a person extends to the crows on their roof. Grandfather likes me, so he will surely like you the same as he likes me."
