Chapter 226: So you just want your dad to divorce me?

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: So you just want your dad to divorce me?

She just enjoys this kind of...

Quan Sicheng can’t stand her, yet he can’t do anything about her.

Even if he killed her a thousand times with his eyes, it would have no effect on her.

All he could do was get angry at himself.

Thinking this, Shi Yaoguang’s eyes shifted, and she offered him a brilliant smile.

Quan Sicheng instinctively tensed up.

He had no idea what trouble she was planning to stir up now.

"Son, this is my first time being a mother, the first time raising a son, I really don’t have any experience. If there’s anything I’m doing wrong, you must tell me in time, you know?"

Listening to this, Quan Sicheng became even more nervous inside, not knowing what Shi Yaoguang was concocting.

Just as he was full of speculation, Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

She said...

"Isn’t it common for scions of great families to go through trials when they come of age?"

"How would you know if you could become the pillar of the family without going through such trials?"

What Shi Yaoguang said wasn’t without basis.

Trials within a family were indeed a thing.

But that was when there were many descendants in the family.

The so-called family trials were nothing more than a selection process for the heir.

The one who performed the best during the trials would become the next heir.

The Quan Family also had this tradition, until...

Quan Jinbei’s generation.

Youthful mistakes made by the old master of the Quan Family had made his position as the head of the family unstable from the start.

Add to this the assistance and checks from his wife’s side...

His authority was minimal from the beginning.

That’s why Quan Jinbei had been the head of the family for several years already, at just twenty-six.

Originally, the predetermined heir, Quan Sicheng, wouldn’t have needed to undergo any family trials.

After all, the trials were about selecting an heir.

He had already secured his position, so going through the trials was really unnecessary and superfluous.

Now that Shi Yaoguang was suddenly bringing up this matter, Quan Sicheng would never believe she had any good intentions.

And indeed, that was the case.

How could Shi Yaoguang possibly have good intentions?

She longed for him to lose everything as soon as possible, so she could completely control him!

Thinking of Shi Yaoguang’s sinister intentions, Quan Sicheng felt an overwhelming repulsion towards her.

How could Shi Yaoguang be like this?

It was just too much.

With such intentions, she was simply...

It’s only because his father didn’t know her schemes, otherwise... she wouldn’t be able to be so arrogant!

As this thought struck Quan Sicheng, he suddenly shivered.

Yes!

How had he not thought of that?

With this in mind, he spoke up directly.

"Dad, I have something very important to tell you."

After finishing, he looked at Shi Yaoguang, "Please excuse us."

"Are you talking to the air?" Shi Yaoguang said with an odd humming tone, "Besides, my husband and I are together, we’re family. What’s there to avoid? No need to try to separate us, you don’t have to say anything more."

Quan Sicheng looked at her with a mocking sneer, "I gave you face, but since you don’t want it, then don’t blame me."

He then directly said what he was thinking.

"You married my dad just to get at me, didn’t you?"

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

Quan Jinbei also wore an expression that was hard to describe in words.

Indeed, to some extent, what Quan Sicheng said was correct.

But it was clear to everyone that he didn’t mean it that way.

Quan Sicheng said confidently, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Aren’t you just hoping that with my dad in poor health, by marrying him, you could inherit his fortune?"

"If something really happens to my dad, you would definitely be the first one to laugh about it. Don’t think I don’t know!"

"And another thing! You’ve always targeted me, not wanting to see me well, isn’t it all just to push me to a dead end? So then you can take actions against me, right?"

Shi Yaoguang made a gesture to interrupt, "Isn’t that a poorly constructed sentence? I should take action against you only after I’ve pushed you to a dead end?"

Quan Sicheng hummed affirmatively, "You think I don’t know your little schemes? You just want to suppress me first, leave me with nothing."

"Then, at that moment, you’ll appear with my dad’s inheritance, posing as the savior, demanding I be with you!"

After finishing, Quan Sicheng looked at her with a face full of disgust, and dropped a harsh word, "But let me tell you here and now, no matter what tricks you pull, no matter how many dirty tricks you use, I will never submit to you. Everything you do will just be a waste of effort!"

Seeing that he was done, Shi Yaoguang extended her hand graciously.

"Clap, clap, clap."

While clapping, she didn’t forget to cheer, "Well said!"

Quan Sicheng immediately looked at her as if she was a fool, "You haven’t gone crazy, have you?"

Shi Yaoguang, however, showed a meaningful smile, "I’m very well, I just think that your ability to imagine things is not bad, it would be a pity not to become a screenwriter."

"Eh..." she paused, "Actually, not a pity at all, maybe you’re not a screenwriter now, but who’s to say you won’t be in the future?"

"I was even worried before, you’ve been living comfortably all these years, completely without any skills. I feared you would starve to death if you left the Quan Family."

"Fortunately, you’re pretty capable, having such a great talent, no need to worry about going hungry in the future."

Saying this, she sighed lightly, "It’s just a pity though, as a screenwriter, you might just scrape by, and love? Don’t even think about it."

"What do you mean by that?" Quan Sicheng said with a dark tone.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "I’m just reminding you."

"Who is Shi Yiqing? You’ve been with her for so long, don’t you understand her better than I do? Do you really think that kind of person would share hardships with you?"

Without thinking, Quan Sicheng blurted out, "Of course she can!"

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue, "You, you’re just too young, haven’t experienced enough."

"Love and all that, isn’t just something you can talk about, you’ve got to go through all the sweet and sour, bitter and hot together."

Ignoring her expression of taking pleasure in his misfortune, what she said actually sounded a bit like relationship advice.

It’s just a pity, she was purely here to mock.

Quan Sicheng didn’t want to listen to her anymore and interrupted her right away.

"Enough with the nonsense, I won’t believe you," Quan Sicheng finished, then turned to Quan Jinbei with an accusatory look, "Dad, you’ve seen everything just now!"

Quan Jinbei nodded slightly, "I have."

Quan Sicheng then felt more confident, "So what are you going to do about it?"

"Do about what?"

Quan Sicheng frowned, "As in divorcing her!"

He pointed at Shi Yaoguang, his tone implicitly stating the obvious.

Quan Jinbei furrowed his brows, the sharpness in his phoenix eyes flashing coldly, "Divorce? When did I say I wanted a divorce?"

Quan Sicheng wore a face of disbelief, "Even though she’s like this, you still won’t divorce her?"

Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes elegantly, "What about me? I’m wholeheartedly considering your interests, yet you, you’d rather have your dad divorce me?"
