After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 189: Have you made up?

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Have you made up?

Shi Yaoguang certainly wasn’t aware of Shen Huan’s thoughts, and even if she were, she would’ve just told him that there was absolutely no need to worry about that.

She could never be used by others.

Besides, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t too concerned about Su Yike’s arrival.

To her, Su Yike was no different from any other classmate.

However...

For Shi Yiqing, this was a devastating blow.

Once the exchange student was confirmed, she tried to fight for it immediately.

Originally, Su Yike was indeed tempted.

But now...

Su Yike had changed his mind because of Shi Yaoguang, and for her, it was no different from a slap in the face.

...

Shi Yaoguang was completely unaware that, for some inexplicable reason, she had once again incurred the resentment of Shi Yiqing.

Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

After all, she was the female lead of Heavenly Dao; a little narrow-mindedness was nothing but normal, and she had long since grown accustomed to it.

...

Time flew by, and there were only three days left before the monthly exam.

This was the first monthly exam of the semester, and everyone took it very seriously.

The Rocket Class especially so, as it was the key class cultivated by the school.

Shi Yiqing, who almost scored full marks on the placement test, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Some even started a private betting pool, wagering on who would be the top scorer of this monthly exam.

The betting options included three people: Shi Yiqing, Zhao Yicheng, and Wen Ruge.

Before Shi Yiqing entered the special talent class, Zhao Yicheng and Wen Ruge had always been top of their grade, first and second respectively.

Their grades were almost equal, and they had never moved down from the first two ranks.

Guessing which of them would take first place had become tiresome for the students.

This time, with the introduction of new blood, everyone’s enthusiasm was reignited.

Upon hearing about this, Shi Yaoguang joined in on the betting very conspicuously.

That night, Quan Sicheng questioned Shi Yiqing, "Qingqing, what’s going on between you and Shi Yaoguang?"

Shi Yiqing looked confused, "What do you mean ’what’s going on’?"

"Have you two made up?" Quan Sicheng asked uncertainly.

Shi Yiqing shook her head, "No, Sister has always disliked me."

As she spoke, she became anxious, "Did something happen?"

Quan Sicheng, full of concern, said, "The monthly exam is coming up in a few days, and someone started a betting pool on the forum."

Shi Yiqing nodded, "I know about that."

Betting pools on the forums were just a bit of emotional outlet for the students, and as long as it wasn’t serious, the school wouldn’t interfere.

Like the last time a bet was made on how long Shi Yaoguang could stay in the special talent class.

Although Shi Yiqing normally didn’t participate in the betting, she knew about this tradition.

Quan Sicheng, hearing that she was aware, thought she knew why Shi Yaoguang would bet on her and immediately asked, "How did you convince her to place a bet on you?"

"Bet?"

Shi Yiqing looked utterly bewildered, "What bet?"

"You don’t know?"

Quan Sicheng was somewhat surprised, "On the forum’s monthly exam betting pool, Shi Yaoguang placed a bet too, on... you coming in first."

Shi Yiqing reflexively argued, "How could that be possible?"

"I also found it incredible," Quan Sicheng hesitated and then asked, "Could it be that she’s worried we’ll point out there’s a problem with the child she’s carrying and... wants to use this method to silence us?"

Shi Yiqing shook her head, "Impossible."

And not to mention whether Shi Yaoguang will still show her vulnerability.

Even the fact that Shi Yaoguang is betting on her to be the top student clearly shows an impure motive.

Others may not know what’s going on, but does Shi Yaoguang herself have no idea?

As Shi Yiqing thought about this, she couldn’t help but internally curse Shi Yaoguang for being malicious.

Shi Yaoguang knew very well that her grades were far from enough for her to rank first.

Yet, she deliberately did this!!

It would have been fine if no one noticed, and her slipping grades wouldn’t matter.

But after Shi Yaoguang made a scene, everyone was paying attention to her.

At this point, if her grades aren’t good enough, she would inevitably become the laughingstock of everyone.

Quan Sicheng looked at her sullen face and asked with concern, "Qingqing, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Shi Yiqing looked at him with a complicated expression, clearly a bit uneasy, "Brother Sicheng, I... I’m so scared!"

"Scared of what?" His tension rose immediately, "What exactly is going on?"

Shi Yiqing hesitated, then said, "Actually... my grades..."

"What about your grades?" Quan Sicheng was clearly very concerned about this.

Shi Yiqing had intended to tell him the truth, but on second thought, what if he got angry at her after knowing the truth?

With that thought, she didn’t dare let him know the truth anymore.

What if Quan Sicheng found out about her switching the grades and disapproved of her actions?

Although Shi Yaoguang was pregnant, and Quan Jinbei very likely would have his own son,

by that time, Quan Sicheng would no longer be the sole heir to the Quan Family.

However, she was still unwilling to give up on his current status so easily.

Besides, who knows whom the child in Shi Yaoguang’s belly truly belongs to.

Anyway, Quan Sicheng’s status doesn’t pose a big problem for the time being.

She wouldn’t give up on him.

Therefore, she could only figure out a way to secure his heart!

The prerequisite to securing his heart was that her true nature must absolutely remain hidden.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Shi Yiqing’s mind.

Eventually, in a coquettish tone, she said to Quan Sicheng, "Brother Sicheng, I’ve been so distraught lately because of my sister’s situation, I’m afraid I’ll be at the bottom in this monthly exam..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip with an aggrieved look, "I’m afraid I’m going to let everyone down."

Seeing her self-reproaching demeanor, Quan Sicheng hurriedly consoled her, "Don’t be sad, Qingqing. Who says you’re going to let everyone down? I know your grades best; rest assured, even if you don’t do well this time it won’t matter."

Shi Yiqing seemed comforted, her eyes sparkling, "Really?"

"Of course."

Shi Yiqing joyfully threw herself into his arms, "Thank you, Brother Sicheng!"

"Silly girl, why are you thanking me?"

Quan Sicheng ruffled her hair and to himself cursed Shi Yaoguang repeatedly for making his fiancée so troubled.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang’s bet, wagering that Shi Yiqing would outperform Zhao Yicheng and Wen Ruge in this monthly exam and rank first in the grade, Shi Yiqing’s grades wouldn’t have attracted so much attention.

If her grades hadn’t drawn attention, she naturally wouldn’t be worried about them slipping.

Thinking this, Quan Sicheng felt he must do something.

Shi Yaoguang likes to stir up trouble, right?

Then he would satisfy her!

No sooner had he thought this than he immediately had someone pull up Shi Yaoguang’s monthly exam results for public scrutiny.

Some even used the results to mock her.

"Both daughters first in class, one adorned with honor, the other honorably at the bottom, even a fool knows who to choose, no wonder the Shi Family has no regard for their own daughter..."

"Am I the only one who thinks Shi Yaoguang is too petty?"
