Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Wei Family Calls

The boss was deeply moved by Shi Yiqing’s piano music.

He even felt the urge to adopt her as his goddaughter, but Shi Yiqing declined the offer.

After some maneuvering, Shi Yiqing ultimately chose to become his disciple and became his closed-door disciple.

It could be said that

many of Shi Yiqing’s later accomplishments were closely related to this boss.

If she could get to know the boss and snatch this resource from Shi Yiqing...

Shi Yaoguang thought about it and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

She wanted to experience what it was like to be the main character too.

She just didn’t know whether Shi Yiqing would become twisted with jealousy after seeing this.

What a beautiful thought.

...

At the Shi Family home.

After returning, Shi Yiqing began to seek death desperately.

When Shi’s father and mother asked her with concern what had happened, she just kept sobbing without saying a word.

"Mom and Dad, don’t bother about me anymore, it’s all my fault, I’ve brought disgrace upon you all, despite your nurturing care I’m still not as good as my sister who has always been wandering outside, I even..."

"I even did such a thing out of jealousy for my sister, for fear that she would steal your love from me, I deserve to die, it’s all my fault! Mom and Dad, I’m sorry, don’t bother about me anymore, just let me die!"

"If I die, it will be all settled, and sister can be brought back home to be the apple of your eye; no one will have to be bothered by my presence anymore."

Hearing her words, Shi’s mother immediately burst into tears, "Qingqing, what are you talking about? Are you trying to hurt your mother’s heart, do you realize that? Can’t you tell us properly what happened? Tell Mom, did Shi Yaoguang that scourge bully you again?"

"No... it’s not Shi Yaoguang, it’s me!"

Shi Yiqing said, looking utterly distraught.

Shi’s father also became anxious, "What exactly happened? Tell us quickly, your mom and I are dying of anxiety."

"If I tell you... will you not want me anymore?"

Shi Yiqing said, her eyes red, looking as if she were in utter despair.

"What do you mean if you tell us, we won’t want you anymore? Exactly how serious is this matter?"

"Qingqing, please tell Mom, did Shi Yaoguang that bastard threaten you again? Did she force you to do something?"

Shi Yiqing hung her head low and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Shi Rusong and Wei Lan were at a loss.

It was Wei Lan who thought to call Quan Sicheng to ask what had happened.

Quan Sicheng told them about the retake exam, including Shi Yiqing switching exam results with Shi Yaoguang for the mock test and how during the retake, Shi Yiqing attempted to steal the test papers but got caught by Qin Hongbo in a sting operation.

After hearing the whole story, to be honest, Shi Rusong was somewhat disappointed in Shi Yiqing.

But after all, it was affection that had grown over more than ten years; such affection couldn’t just dissipate in an instant.

"Mom and Dad, I’m sorry, I’ve embarrassed you. If you blame me, just kick me out, I... I won’t hold it against you."

She paused, then sniffed and said, "All I hope for is that you can give me an opportunity to visit you from time to time; that alone would satisfy me."

Hearing her humble request, the heart of the father of the Shi Family softened.

What Shi Yiqing had done was indeed morally questionable.

But...

She hadn’t done it without reason.

Overall, they were still able to understand.

With that in mind, they told her it was all right.

Wei Lan hugged her tightly and said, "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You are our daughter. Since when does a daughter get kicked out of the house for making a mistake?"

Shi Yiqing suddenly looked up with an expression of disbelief.

Wei Lan caught sight of the tears in her eyes and felt a wave of tenderness.

"Good girl, it’s good that you realize your mistake. Your mom and dad will always be your strongest support."

After Wei Lan finished speaking, Shi Yiqing’s gaze quickly turned to Shi Rusong, seeking confirmation with urgency, "Dad, is what mom said true? You’re not going to blame me either?"

"Of course not!"

Shi Rusong answered with certainty.

Shi Yiqing let out a long sigh of relief, "Thank you, mom and dad."

"Silly girl, what are you thanking mom and dad for? Isn’t that a bit too formal?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yiqing immediately burst into laughter and threw herself into their arms, affectionately nuzzling, "Mom and dad are so good to me, I love you both the most!"

At those words, Shi Rusong joked for a rare moment, "Oh? You love mom and dad the most? What about your Brother Sicheng? If he hears this, I’m afraid he might be heartbroken."

"Ah, no." Shi Yiqing covered her face shyly, acting coy like a little daughter, "Dad, if you tease me again, I’ll ignore you, hmph~"

Shi Rusong pretended to be stern, "Just now you said you loved mom and dad the most, and now you’re ignoring dad already?"

"Dad!" Shi Yiqing pouted, "If you keep teasing me, I’ll make mom not sleep with you tonight!"

Wei Lan nodded in agreement, "Qingqing is right, if you keep teasing her, you’ll have to sleep in the study tonight!"

"Good wife, can’t I just behave? I won’t sleep in the study tonight!"

As Shi Rusong spoke, he sighed with appreciation, "A wife and child by the warm bed, that is a man’s ultimate goal."

Wei Lan gave him a disapproving look, "Stop talking nonsense in front of the child!"

Shi Rusong looked at her with deep affection, about to say something more when Wei Lan’s cellphone ringtone went off.

Wei Lan said, "Let me take this call first."

She picked up her phone, and upon seeing the number, she froze.

Shi Rusong noticed his wife’s expression and leaned over to glance at the screen, then he too paused, his face registering surprise.

"This, this number..."

Shi Yiqing was also curious; she looked but couldn’t figure out whose incoming call it was: "Whose number is this? Dad, mom, you both look so puzzled."

Shi Rusong said with a complex expression, "This is... your grandfather’s call."

"My... grandfather?" Shi Yiqing looked confused. "I have a grandfather?"

She had never heard any news about her grandfather from her earliest memory.

She had always assumed that both of Wei Lan’s parents had passed away, which was why no one ever mentioned them over the years.

So it turned out...

Wei Lan’s father, her grandfather, was still alive?

As Shi Yiqing was lost in a daze, the ring of the phone call had already ended.

Not three seconds after the automatic hang-up, the call came through again.

This time, Wei Lan quickly answered.

She started the conversation with a strained greeting, "Dad?"

"Don’t you call me dad, I don’t have a daughter like you!"

The person on the other end of the phone spoke with a voice deep and resonant.

Shi Yiqing and Shi Rusong heard it crystal clear.

Wei Lan’s face turned pale when she heard this, and she asked with a quivering voice, "Dad, didn’t you say you would never look for me again..."
