Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Even Knowing You’re a Trashy Person

Shi Yaoguang took one look at Shi Yiqing’s expression and knew exactly what she was thinking.

In response, she was truly at a loss for words.

"Even though I know you are a despicable person, but... when you’re out in public, can you not try to restrain yourself a little?"

Shi Yiqing’s anger deepened when she heard Yaoguang call her a despicable person.

At the same time, she was somewhat puzzled, "Restrain what?"

"I advise you to restrain your malice," Shi Yaoguang said earnestly. "You may not realize it, but your ugly countenance is all too apparent."

Shi Yiqing was taken aback, "Is it... that obvious?"

"What else did you think?"

Shi Yaoguang earnestly advised, "If you want to be a girl beloved by everyone, the first thing you must do is to hide your malice well, understand?"

"You have to manage... even if you desperately wish for my immediate death, to still smile and speak sweetly in my presence; only then will everyone think you are truly kind and beautiful and thus acknowledge your existence."

Shi Yiqing was stunned, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"I am telling you this, of course, because I fear you are straying down the wrong path and am kindly teaching you," she said.

With that, she laughed, "How about it, are you moved?"

Moved?

She was overwhelmingly moved.

Shi Yiqing had already initiated the highest level of alert in her heart, deeply doubting Shi Yaoguang’s intentions.

Seeing her this way, Shi Yaoguang slowly curled her lips into a smile.

"You don’t need to be so guarded against me."

Shi Yiqing certainly didn’t take her words lightly.

Then, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "After all... if I wanted to deal with you, you wouldn’t be able to fend me off."

Having said that, Shi Yaoguang then descended the stairs.

As soon as Shi Yaoguang appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Cheng Lingdang even walked directly over to her and stood by her side, introducing her with great emphasis.

"Let me introduce to everyone, this beautiful lady by my side is named Shi Yaoguang, who shares the same surname as that woman who just now wanted to snatch my grandparents’ apprenticeship."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath subconsciously.

In a circle like this, no one is out of the loop.

The affairs of the Shi Family were no secret, so when Cheng Lingdang mentioned Shi Yaoguang’s name, everyone guessed her identity.

Some clever people kept this unspoken understanding to themselves.

Of course, there were also those who were less discerning.

Someone directly asked, "This must be the famous Miss Shi."

Shi Yaoguang glanced at the person who spoke.

A man in his forties with a serious balding issue that he didn’t bother to disguise with a toupee, he looked somewhat slovenly.

His eyes on Shi Yaoguang were filled with blatant desire.

Clearly, he regarded Shi Yaoguang as a woman without any support or background, someone he could misbehave with at will.

No.

In his eyes, such a woman should perhaps be referred to as... a plaything.

The man patted his significantly protruding beer belly, feeling quite good about himself, and said, "I’ve heard that Miss Shi has been on bad terms with her family recently. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me. I’ll definitely help if I can."

Meanwhile, Shi Yiqing was already upset because Shi Yaoguang was shining brighter than her.

Upon hearing the man’s words, she immediately covered her mouth, unable to contain her laughter.

Let her be pleased!

What would be the outcome of that pleasure?

Treated like an "object," huh?

Shi Yiqing delighted in the disaster in her heart and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Sister, your market value is really high, isn’t it? That’s good, though; now Mom and Dad don’t have to worry about you starving to death outside."

"Of course, my value is high."

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t bothered by her mockery and even agreed with the conversation.

Shi Yiqing was stunned for a moment.

Shi Yaoguang continued, "After all... we are not on the same level, we see things with different eyes."

Shi Yiqing curled her lip, "You make it sound nice, ’not on the same level,’ huh?"

As if thinking of something, she hummed proudly, "Of course we’re not on the same level; I’ve never seen you at our socialite gatherings."

"Socialite?"

Shi Yaoguang frowned and asked, "Are you referring to... the socialites in your circle of friends?"

Shi Yaoguang’s words had a double meaning.

Shi Yiqing was aware of the recent fuss about socialites buying things in groups.

Now, even mentioning ’socialite’ seemed like mockery.

But...

The socialite circle in her friend’s circle might be fake, but she was a real socialite!

Shi Yiqing wanted to argue back and immediately expressed her thoughts, "What I’m saying is true."

She began to count on her fingers, "Miss Bai from Qinghe Real Estate, Miss Qian from Guli Electronics, Miss Wen from Mincong Jewelry..."

"These are all real socialites! You don’t know a single one!" She said proudly, then chuckled, "Ah, why am I even talking about this with you? After all, sister, you’ve been living in the countryside before this."

Shi Yaoguang listened as she brought up the countryside again, and smiled with a curl of her lip.

"Yes, I have always lived in the countryside."

She paused, "But... I think you might have some misconceptions about the countryside."

"What misconceptions could I have?" Shi Yiqing snorted proudly, "I don’t have any wrong perceptions about you, sister. After all... it was me who had Mom and Dad bring you back."

Shi Yaoguang responded nonchalantly, "And it was also you who had them send me away. Speaking of which, I really should thank you."

The guests who had come to the Xiao family’s banquet didn’t expect to witness such a scene of sisters competing with each other.

Oh no.

Strictly speaking, Shi Yaoguang and Shi Yiqing hardly counted as sisters.

It was more like a drama of the genuine versus the counterfeit daughter.

Shi Yaoguang was not in the mood to quarrel with Shi Yiqing. Having said what she wanted, she moved on to the main topic.

"Today, we are fortunate to gather here, and I’d like to discuss a partnership with everyone."

"Partnership?" The bald man who had spoken earlier spoke up again.

He patted his beer belly and said, trying to sound suave, "How do you want to collaborate? Just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll cooperate with you."

"’Big brother’?" Shi Yaoguang repeated the phrase suggestively and then looked at the bald man, "Big brother seems to be quite interesting. Are you sure whatever I ask, you will cooperate with me?"

The bald man nodded with full confidence, "You just say it. There’s nothing you want that big brother can’t do!"

"Good!" Shi Yaoguang clapped her hands, "I like people who are straightforward like you, big brother."

As the bald man basked in Shi Yaoguang calling him ’big brother,’ he felt extremely pleased with himself.

He seemed to shine with satisfaction.

The others couldn’t bear to look directly at the bald man’s triumphant demeanor.

Anyone with a bit of sense could see that Shi Yaoguang was no ordinary person.

If she were just a genuine daughter the Shi family had chased away, she wouldn’t even have the right to appear at the Xiao family’s gathering today.

Let alone be grandly introduced by Xiao’s wife’s granddaughter?
