Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Thank You Matchmaker Miss Lin
"The person who wanted you to marry the old master to bring him joy wasn’t me,"
"The person who decided to treat you as merchandise and send you to the Bai Family wasn’t me,"
"The person who agreed to be happily wed to the old man was yourself."
Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms and looked at her with eyes full of mockery, "All of this was your own choice, wasn’t it?"
"You can’t stand hardship and didn’t want to see the Lin Family go bankrupt... So even though you resisted in your heart, you didn’t fight back and obediently married the old master to cheer him up, isn’t that what you wanted?"
As she spoke, she paused, then spontaneously sighed, "It seems I was mistaken; this indeed isn’t what you wanted."
"Miss Lin has always been quite a dreamer, always wanting the best. Anything even slightly displeasing is unacceptable to you,"
Lin Ruixue’s face turned red and white as she was berated.
"Don’t spout nonsense!"
Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Whether you’re that kind of person is your business, it’s not for me to manage or interfere with."
"However, there is one thing I can remind you of,"
"What?"
"I hold grudges,"
Shi Yaoguang pointed at herself, righteous in her conviction, "If you make me unhappy, I will make sure you can’t find joy either. How about that, happy?"
Lin Ruixue’s face turned unsightly, "What’s there to be happy about?"
Shi Yaoguang waggled a finger, "No, you should be happy."
A flicker of confusion passed through Lin Ruixue’s eyes.
"I’ve heard that you’re quite favored in the Bai Family recently, the old master Bai really likes you, and as a result, the people of the Bai Family can’t wait to treat you like a queen,"
Upon hearing Shi Yaoguang say this, Lin Ruixue felt a mix of pride and embarrassment in her heart.
She took pride in the fact that she could enchant the old master of the Bai Family.
Although the old master Bai was of advanced age, his presence was very important.
Everyone in the Bai Family, regardless of who they were, didn’t want to see the old master come to any harm.
As long as they could prolong his life, even if they needed the stars from the sky, the people of the Bai Family would find a way to pluck them down.
"The fact that you can charm the old master Bai into following your words shows that you definitely have the capital," Shi Yaoguang’s voice resonated leisurely, "Since you have this ability, of course, I should congratulate you."
Lin Ruixue furrowed her brows, instinctively feeling something was amiss.
Then, she heard Shi Yaoguang speak in a very arrogant tone: "Actually, I would like to experience the power of the Bai Family for myself."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruixue became wary, "Do you want Lord Qian to make a move against the Bai Family?"
Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "Of course not."
Lin Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Shi Yaoguang speak disdainfully, "Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken? The Bai Family is nothing; I can handle them myself."
Lin Ruixue looked at her with a gaze full of disbelief, "You!"
She wanted to say that Shi Yaoguang was simply delusional.
But a voice inside her was telling her that what Shi Yaoguang said was very likely to come true.
If it was true, she dared not imagine what kind of situation she would be faced with.
"Speaking of which, you might not be aware." Shi Yaoguang looked at her with a smile, "I especially want to thank you in person."
"What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning," Shi Yaoguang revealed an enlightened expression, "Do you know how I came to marry Lord Qian?"
Lin Ruixue frowned, "Didn’t they say he fell in love with you at first sight?"
"No, no, no," Shi Yaoguang waved her finger, "That’s just what we say to the public."
"Actually... I have to thank you for this; you could be considered the matchmaker between us."
Matchmaker?
When Lin Ruixue heard this, she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Shi Yaoguang nodded with a smile, "Yeah, you might not know, but the reason I met San Ye was all because of the drug you slipped me that night."
Speaking of this made Lin Ruixue even more upset.
She had created such a good opportunity for Qian Yi, and was this how he handed in his assignment?
Thinking that after going through all the trouble, not only did Qian Yi not accomplish it, but he had also dragged her into it.
Let that be.
Now Shi Yiqing was telling her that all her scheming not only failed to achieve her goal but also helped Shi Yaoguang ascend heaven’s ladder?
At that thought, she felt extremely frustrated.
Meanwhile, Shi Yaoguang was still looking at her with a smile, "You look quite ill, are you not feeling well?"
Lin Ruixue knew what Shi Yaoguang was thinking, and her face grew even uglier.
"I am perfectly fine, no need for your feigned concern."
With that, she prepared to leave.
Every second in front of Shi Yaoguang was torture for her.
Shi Yaoguang watched her, clicking her tongue, "What’s the hurry? Weren’t you the one who blocked my path first, not letting me leave? Now that I’m willing to stop and catch up with you properly, why are you suddenly unwilling?"
Lin Ruixue looked at her coldly, only wanting to scoff.
Anyone would find it hard to be happy knowing that their attempt to harm someone else not only failed but also accidentally benefited the other party, right?
But Shi Yaoguang was earnestly looking at her, stroking her chin, and after examining her for a while, she said, "I’ve recently learned a bit of traditional medicine."
Hearing her unrelated comment, Lin Ruixue rolled her eyes, "What does your study of traditional medicine have to do with me? Who knows if you learned it from some swindler on the streets."
Shi Yaoguang, despite being doubted, showed not a hint of anger, "Don’t be so quick to dismiss my achievement; whether my traditional medicine studies are of any use, you are more than welcome to test it out."
"Test it?" Lin Ruixue looked at her skeptically, "How?"
Shi Yaoguang grinned slyly, "Of course, with your friendly sponsorship."
"Even though I don’t think Miss Lin has the character to be my friend... when times are tough, we shouldn’t nitpick, right?"
"Besides, it’s out of kindness that I want to check your health. You wouldn’t want to wait until it’s too late to discover illness, right? By then, paying attention to your health would be too late, and I believe someone as life-cherishing as Miss Lin would not refuse me, right?"
Facing her sincere eyes, Lin Ruixue could only think to herself, she’d be damned if she believed her.
She immediately refused with a cold face, "Thanks for your kindness, but I don’t need it!"
"Hey, whether you need it or not isn’t just a matter of words," Shi Yaoguang, like a salesperson, enthusiastically pitched her medical skills to her.
Lin Ruixue couldn’t be bothered with her, who knew what she was up to?
Little did she know, Shi Yaoguang didn’t need her cooperation to continue the drama by herself.
"Miss Lin, just hear me out..."
Shi Yaoguang had barely started speaking when Lin Ruixue stood rigidly in place, "If you continue indulging like this, you’ll wear your body out."
"From your bone structure, I can tell your health isn’t great..."
Lin Ruixue snorted, "My health is bad because you say so? Do you really think you’re some kind of miracle doctor?"
