Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Turning the Tables

#Shi Yaoguang Marries Rich Old Man, and It’s the Sickly and Ugly One#

#Reality Version: Dumped by Fiancé, Turns Around and Marries Future Father-in-Law#

One after another, hashtags surged, making Shi Yaoguang’s name increasingly notorious.

Many who originally had no clue who she was could speak a word or two after seeing the trending searches.

"Ah, you mean that young girl who got pregnant before marriage? Sure, she’s pretty, but look at what she’s done, seducing her fiancé’s dad, that’s just shameless."

"Isn’t it said that she got pregnant before marriage? As for the child in her belly, who knows who the father is."

"Everyone’s guessing she has a messy private life, that the child might be the result of her mess around outside. I think, there’s definitely something fishy about that kid."

"What’s so fishy about it?"

"You tell me, would a normal person ever marry his own son’s bride-to-be? Forget about nothing fishy, even if there really was something, they should keep their distance... With them behaving like this, they must have done some shady deeds that they can’t let others know, so they found an excuse to cover it up."

"—Based on that theory, Shi Yaoguang’s former fiancé really hit an all-time low, to have run into such a troublesome father and fiancée like that. Not only was he cuckolded, but he also has to bear the reputation of being an ungrateful cheater. If there was a ranking for the most miserable person of the year, I bet he’d definitely top the list."

"What do you expect when capital controls the basic needs of life? Shi Yaoguang and that wealthy husband of hers are truly not to be envied."

As online public opinion fermented to a certain extent, Shi Yiqing was moved and decided to add fuel to the fire.

Now, everyone thinks that Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei slept together unapproved, and Quan Jinbei even snatched his own son’s future wife, to the extent of making her pregnant before marriage, and because she was pregnant before marriage, they got married in a flash wedding on the day they were originally going to get engaged.

"Some people really have no shame, blatantly sleeping around first and then purposely framing the victim with a reputation for cheating, I feel sorry for the fiancé and the sister..."

Shi Yiqing was the one who started this topic.

Shi Yiqing knew that the news of her seducing Quan Sicheng was widespread.

Instead of waiting for Shi Yaoguang to lead everyone to dig up the past, it was better to take control of the direction of public opinion first.

As long as everyone believes that Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei were promiscuous first, no one will believe what Shi Yaoguang says.

By that time...

She and Quan Sicheng wouldn’t only be legitimate, but they would also become victims in everyone’s eyes.

Shi Yiqing’s calculations were crystal clear to Shi Yaoguang.

But she was not at all worried.

"Aren’t you afraid you’ll play too far?" When Zhao Mingmei saw that Shi Yaoguang had no intention to explain, she couldn’t help admiring her composure.

Shi Yaoguang’s relationship with Quan Jinbei was being rumored as an illicit affair, yet she still remained indifferent.

Quan Jinbei didn’t show any indication either; it seemed he intended to just let it be.

Zhao Mingmei couldn’t help acknowledging her admiration.

That kind of composure is not something many people have.

Shi Yaoguang was super calm, "Haven’t you heard the saying ’play with fire and you’ll get burned’? If the players aren’t worried, what’s there for me to be anxious about?"

Zhao Mingmei nodded, "What you say makes sense."

...

Because of Shi Yaoguang’s lack of clarification, the looks the crew members gave her were filled with odd and peculiar flavors.

"Qingqing sister, is she really with that old man?"

During a break after filming a scene, Shi Yaoguang saw someone approaching Shi Yiqing to inquire about the gossip.

Shi Yiqing subdued her expression, looking helpless, "I’m not clear about the specifics, I... I only heard about it."

"How can that be? Sister Qingqing, I saw people online tarnishing your reputation, saying that the only reason she got involved with that old man was because you seduced her fiancé first."

The one who said this was the third female lead of the drama crew.

The third female lead was a rising starlet who had recently become popular, and with the discerning eye of Wang Zhehai, she certainly had acting skills.

However, speaking of which, according to the number of appearances in the script, the scenes for the third female lead weren’t any less than those for the second female lead.

That started her scheming.

Behind the scenes, Shi Yiqing had promoted the story of her joining the crew; she was a newcomer personally selected by Wang Zhehai.

The predetermined second female lead!

Believing Shi Yiqing’s words, the third female lead had no designs on the second female lead’s position; what she coveted was the lead actress role.

She felt her image was quite good and that attempting for the lead actress role wasn’t out of the question.

It was only because Shi Yaoguang had married the old man and obtained resources from him.

Otherwise, who the lead actress would be was still up for debate.

With her inexplicable confidence, the third female lead imagined toppling Shi Yaoguang.

After all, the drama crew had just started filming two days ago, and the important scenes hadn’t yet begun shooting; now was not too late to replace someone.

The third female lead’s intentions were too obvious, and Shi Yiqing naturally noticed them.

She was pleased to see this happen, and immediately shared some "secrets" with her.

The third female lead nodded vigorously as she listened, oblivious to the fact that Shi Yaoguang had already been eavesdropping and heard everything clearly.

Having relayed what the third female lead wanted to know, and what she herself wanted to divulge, Shi Yiqing found an excuse to leave, saying she had to take care of some business.

The third female lead, fantasizing about pushing Shi Yaoguang out and becoming the lead actress herself, didn’t care whether she left or not.

As soon as Shi Yiqing left, Shi Yaoguang coolly walked out from behind.

"Ah!"

The third female lead, caught up in her plans, looked up to meet Shi Yaoguang’s smiling yet not smiling eyes, nearly scaring her soul out of her body.

"How are you here?"

As the third female lead spoke, she took a step back, her gaze filled with wariness and skepticism, "Were you purposely hiding here to eavesdrop?"

"Eavesdropping?" Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "I did not eavesdrop."

"You still deny it!" scoffed the third female lead, "I saw everything, you were eavesdropping!"

"If you insist on saying so, I can’t help it," shrugged Shi Yaoguang, "I just have one question, I’m really curious, I hope you can help me understand."

"Who do you think you are? You’re curious so I have to answer you?" The third female lead rolled her eyes, showing her disgust.

Shi Yaoguang ignored her dismissive attitude and continued, "Hearing so much negative information about me from Shi Yiqing’s mouth, you must be secretly delighted by now, thinking just kicking me out will allow you to take my place, right?"

The third female lead indeed thought so, but... no one would be foolish enough to express their inner thoughts.

Therefore, she directly denied Shi Yaoguang’s words, "I, I never thought that, don’t spout nonsense."

"I’m the best at spouting nonsense," Shi Yaoguang smiled at her, "I just want to remind you, don’t make the wrong decision, or... no one will be able to save you."

The third female lead was inexplicably intimidated by her presence, yet unwilling to be threatened, she could only silently distance herself from her.
