Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Stop Her from Being Admitted to School

Shi Yaoguang was not surprised that Quan Jinbei noticed the difference with the strawberries.

This was something she had prepared on purpose, it would have been strange if he had not noticed.

Even though she knew what was going on, she still deliberately put on a shy expression, "So the Third Master wanted me to feed you strawberries by hand~"

Quan Jinbei: "...That’s not what I meant."

Shi Yaoguang pretended to be troubled, "Did I misunderstand?"

As she said this, she sighed, "I must have been presumptuous."

Seeing the young girl’s disappointed expression, Quan Jinbei inexplicably felt an urge.

He wanted to tell her that it was not like that.

But...

He did not do that.

Truth be told, having experienced all sorts of illnesses and pains from a young age, as well as the complexities of human relationships, he did not think he would easily take a liking to a girl six years younger than himself.

His mind was already more mature than most.

Shi Yaoguang, at her age, could be viewed as a daughter in his eyes.

Luckily, Shi Yaoguang did not know his thoughts, otherwise...

She really wouldn’t mind letting him know who the daddy is.

It was also fortunate that he had not revealed his thoughts to Shi Yaoguang, because...

It would hurt even more to be slapped in the face later.

Admittedly, it was still too early to talk about these things.

At this moment, not to mention Quan Jinbei having any thoughts about her, even Shi Yaoguang herself only felt pity for him because he shared her sufferings, and incidentally saw him as a male lead’s support, preemptively cutting in just for that.

As for why she teased him...

It was probably just a wicked sense of humor.

Shi Yaoguang had a very clear understanding of herself.

In other words, she was brazenly shameless.

All jokes aside, Shi Yaoguang ultimately agreed to give Quan Jinbei the strawberries he wanted.

But the condition was that they must go through her hands.

As for whether or not she would hand-feed them, with a haughty air, she said, "Don’t be ungrateful for your blessings, Third Master. How precious are the strawberries I feed by hand? Do you really think I’m willing to serve you so diligently?"

The butler, who accidentally heard her blatant lie: "..."

When did feeding strawberries become such hard work?

Quan Jinbei, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

...

While Shi Yaoguang had the mood to tease Quan Jinbei, Shi Yiqing, who had been driven out of Quan Mansion, was seething with rage.

Quan Sicheng noticed her bad mood and asked with concern, "Qingqing, are you unhappy?"

Shi Yiqing, who had been humiliated by Shi Yaoguang, of course, was unhappy.

She had managed, with great effort, to persuade her father and mother Shi to join her in confronting Shi Yaoguang for an accounting.

Instead, they had been promptly kicked out.

Especially after seeing the submissive demeanor Quan Sicheng displayed in front of Quan Jinbei...

She felt an increasing sense of unrest.

Initially, she thought that by snagging such an outstanding man as Quan Sicheng, she was already a winner in life.

Then Shi Yaoguang turned around and slapped her figuratively, becoming the true winner in life.

Quan Jinbei, with immense power at his disposal, so what if his health was poor?

With his looks, the number of women vying for his attention was countless!

Not to mention, he was the head of the Quan Family, and his maternal family was equally prominent.

In these circumstances, Shi Yaoguang marrying him was tantamount to taking control of half of Quan Jinbei’s wealth!

In the past, with Quan Jinbei on his own, Quan Sicheng, as the sole heir, naturally had substantial value.

But what about now?

Quan Jinbei got married!

Which man wouldn’t want to have his own offspring?

If one had children, who would be willing to hand over the family business to someone who has no blood relation to them?

Shi Yiqing still doesn’t know about the identity of Quan Sicheng’s illegitimate son, if she did, she would probably feel even more disheartened.

Quan Sicheng has no idea that Shi Yiqing is filled with a sense of frustration over her failed plans at the moment.

If he knew, he would no doubt find it very amusing.

Shi Yiqing was in a bad mood, and so were her father and mother.

"I told you that cursed girl was born to be my bane, ever since she returned to the Shi family, she hasn’t done a single good thing, always rushing to tarnish the Shi family’s reputation..."

Shi’s mother’s face was full of anger, and Shi’s father was equally agitated, "Had we known she was such a cold-hearted and ruthless creature, we should never have taken her back!"

"Eh, it’s too late to say anything now..."

The group of four failed to find satisfaction and could only return home disgruntled.

Shi Yiqing was still concerned about their original purpose, "If sister isn’t willing to cooperate with us, is Nie Shao really going to apologize at the promotion ceremony? If he apologizes, I’m afraid... the relationship with our Shi family will be completely irreparable."

After contemplating for a while, Shi’s father finally came up with a plan that served two purposes.

After hearing it, Shi Yiqing showed a look of surprise, "Dad, isn’t this inappropriate? If sister finds out, she will definitely be angry."

"Everything she has was given by me. Now that she has turned ungrateful, it’s only right for me to take back what I have given. Even if she gets angry, what can she do about it?"

Shi’s father was naively confident in his own plan.

The plan he thought of was to prevent Shi Yaoguang from going to school.

The reason Shi Yaoguang was able to attend Ruihe High School was that he had paid money to get her in.

Now, he didn’t want her to attend school, wasn’t that just a word away from happening?

When he came up with this idea, he evidently forgot that Shi Yaoguang was his biological daughter, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he shouldn’t be using such methods against her.

He also selectively ignored another issue.

The Shi Yaoguang of today was no longer that daughter who held expectations for fatherly love and allowed him to manipulate her at will.

If he wanted to ruin her education, it wasn’t necessarily the case...

That she would have no way to deal with it.

Shi Yiqing pretended to advise a few words in dissuasion, seeing that her father was adamant about doing so, she could only accept it with an expression that said, I’ve tried my best, dad doesn’t want to listen, there’s nothing I can do.

...

Ruihe High School.

"Beep—"

Carrying her backpack, Shi Yaoguang swiped her campus card, setting off the alarm.

The school security said to her, "Student, your campus card has expired."

"My campus card expired?"

The school issues new campus cards every term and they have multiple functions, the most direct being to serve as an access control card.

Her campus card was issued the day she enrolled, and it absolutely could not expire due to the length of time.

Seeing her reaction, the security guard worried that there was a problem with the recognition system and tested another student’s card.

"Beep—" Successful recognition.

Jiu Yanchuan was passing by on patrol and inquired about what had happened.

After carefully examining her new campus card, the security guard speculated, "In this situation, it seems the school has canceled her student identity information."

"Heh."

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh out of anger.

The day she had sent away Shi’s father and the others, she was wondering what kind of petty moves they would make to retaliate against her.

She had not anticipated this at all.

"Did you offend someone..." Jiu Yanchuan asked halfway but had already come up with the answer in his mind.

Although he was unaware of her grievance with Shi’s father, another possibility occurred to him.

Perhaps An Xu and Yu Zhenzhen were carrying a grudge and had secretly made some move.
