Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Please Witness History

Shi Yiqing threw herself into her mother’s arms, saying grievously, "Mom, don’t blame sister anymore, it’s my fault."

"I knew it was wrong, but to make sister accept me, I still did it. I shouldn’t have agreed in the first place."

She wept with the pitiful charm of pear blossoms in rain, incidentally "revealing the truth," "Before the monthly exam, sister came to me. She told me that her grades were so poor, she was afraid of being laughed at. She could excuse her poor performance in the start-of-term diagnostic test as being unprepared, but she couldn’t use that excuse for the monthly exams..."

"It was a moment of weakness that made me agree to her. Who would have thought, she secretly followed me and recorded video evidence."

With that, she began to sob, "I don’t know what I did wrong to make sister dislike me so much. If it’s because of our status, I’m willing to give my identity back to sister and ask her to forgive me. Won’t you give me another chance, please?"

Shi Yiqing looked eagerly at Shi Yaoguang, her facade as a devoted younger sister unshaken.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang’s lips curled into a smirk, "Forgive you? It’s not impossible."

"Really?"

Shi Yiqing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "Of course, it’s true. When have I ever lied to anyone?"

"As long as you’re willing to forgive me, sister, I’ll agree to do anything you ask."

"Alright," Shi Yaoguang agreed crisply. "Seeing as you’re so earnestly asking, it would seem rather heartless of me not to agree."

Shi Yiqing felt a sudden pang of unease at what she might ask, but still maintained a smile on her face, "You tell me, sister. No matter what it is, I will agree to it."

"Remember your words," Shi Yaoguang smiled broadly, "My request is very simple. You said I forced you to help me steal the test papers, didn’t you? So, just tell me exactly how I made you steal them. Describe the details, and I’ll accept you."

"Ah..." Shi Yiqing hesitated greatly, "Isn’t that a bit improper?"

Shi Yaoguang tilted her head, "What’s improper about it? Don’t you really want to recognize me as your sister? I’m making a request now, won’t you comply?"

Seeing her self-entitled demeanor, both Father Shi and Mother Shi showed displeased expressions.

Shi Rusong glared directly at her, "Shi Yaoguang!"

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him coolly, "Mr. Shi, what advice do you have?"

"How many times have I told you not to bully Qingqing!" Shi Rusong’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his gaze even more filled with disgust.

Shi Yaoguang’s lips curved slightly, "Look at how you’re speaking. When have I ever bullied her? From what I see, it would be fortunate if she doesn’t bully me."

Her words oddly echoed what Shi Yiqing had said earlier.

Listening to her, Shi Rusong felt that Shi Yaoguang was making excuses, "I understand Qingqing’s personality better than you do. I thought I was being fair to both you and Qingqing by bringing you back home, but now it seems that bringing you back was the biggest mistake!"

"So, you’ve corrected your mistake in time."

Shi Yaoguang showed full agreement, "I should thank you, actually. If you hadn’t corrected this mistake, I might still be in the Shi Family, being bullied. Now, I couldn’t be more satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Shi Rusong’s face grew even uglier.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Isn’t my meaning clear enough?"

Shi Yaoguang glanced at Shi Yiqing, who was secretly jubilant, too lazy to continue wasting words, and said directly, "There’s no need for superfluous words. You’re here today because I want you to witness a bit of history."

At these words, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Witnessing history, huh.

This was no small matter.

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang had made up her mind, Shi Yiqing had no choice but to recount the process of how Shi Yaoguang had "bullied" her into it.

After hearing her out, the looks everyone gave Shi Yaoguang were tinged with a bit more contempt.

In Shi Yiqing’s words, Shi Yaoguang had exploited her desire to be accepted by her sister, forcing her to agree to help steal the exam papers.

Or if she was unwilling, Shi Yaoguang would never acknowledge her as a sister.

How persistent had Shi Yiqing always appeared in public?

As if she had to have Shi Yaoguang as her sister.

Thinking about it, everyone considered it possible that she was coerced.

While everyone harbored such thoughts, Shi Yiqing spoke up again, addressing Shi Yaoguang, "Sister, I’m sorry. I promised you I wouldn’t tell, but now...I can’t keep silent..."

Shi Yaoguang looked at her self-reproachful expression, her smile more mocking than genuine, and said, "Are you done?"

Shi Yiqing nodded slightly, her head almost touching the ground with evident self-reproach.

Seeing her like that, a wave of sympathy unavoidably rose in everyone’s hearts.

"I used to think Shi Yaoguang wasn’t so bad, but to think she would do something like this."

"Although it’s true Shi Yiqing gained advantages with the situation of taking over the nest, it’s unreasonable for Shi Yaoguang to blame her for the grudges from the older generation."

"It’s just that Shi Yiqing is too saintly. If it were me, I wouldn’t let such things happen at all."

"I also feel that Shi Yiqing is too soft. Shi Yaoguang bullied her like that and yet she’s so devoted, seeking Shi Yaoguang’s forgiveness."

"If I were Shi Yaoguang, I would definitely forgive her."

"If you were Yaoguang?" Mu Tiantian directly snapped at the girl who was postulating, "If you were Yaoguang, you would now only be a rat in the gutter that everyone wants to smack!"

The girl’s face turned ugly in an instant, "What do you mean, Mu Tiantian?"

"I didn’t mean to target you specifically." Mu Tiantian crossed her arms, analyzing rationally, "When Yaoguang was first brought back to the Shi Family at the beginning of last term, what kind of days did she have in that house, and how was it at school?"

"In the Shi Family, Mr. Shi Rusong and Mrs. Wei Lan didn’t seem to like her, did they? If the couple in charge treated her as an outsider, how could you expect the servants to be courteous?"

"As for school, that’s even more obvious, with Nie Feng, An Xu, and Yu Zhenzhen as prime examples, aren’t they? If it weren’t for Yaoguang fighting back and making them afraid to offend her, do you think she would still be living the life she has now?"

Mu Tiantian hummed with disdain, "The motive is so clear, yet she’s still playing the sisterly love act? Does she really think no one can see through it?"

"Not mentioning it before was giving you face, us not talking doesn’t mean we’re unaware of everything, got it?"

Shi Yiqing’s face turned deathly pale, appearing as if she couldn’t bear the injustice and was on the verge of collapse, "No... I really didn’t know that sister had such a life before, she never told me, I thought she really disliked me, if only I had known..."
