After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 346 - 345: Is the Performance Over?

Chapter 346: Chapter 345: Is the Performance Over?

Shi Yaoguang indeed had no intention of cooperating.

However...

A show had to be put on.

Shi Yiqing doubted her identity, didn’t she?

Questioned the authenticity of her being?

It didn’t matter.

Let them question, she would just let Shi Yiqing see what true power really was.

Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat and began, "You say I’m a fake, and you think I’ve deliberately framed you, am I right?"

Shi Yiqing nodded. "It’s not suspicion, Brother Sicheng and I were both set up by you!"

"Everything that happened on the engagement day was under your control, you deliberately hid my sister the day before the engagement, and she still didn’t show up at the auspicious time. Without the bride, the engagement party couldn’t go on, so I had no choice but to take the stage in place of my sister at the last moment."

"At this moment, you appeared, righteously accusing me of taking my sister’s place, then you used words to threaten me, deliberately making me flustered..."

Listening to Shi Yiqing’s coherent analysis, Shi Yaoguang found it a bit amusing and even clapped, "Well said, reasoned and substantiated."

Shi Yiqing showed a smug expression.

Then...

She heard Shi Yaoguang say, "However, I have a question."

"What question?"

"You said I deliberately didn’t show up to catch you off guard, but... how were you taken away by the police in the first place?"

The onlookers, upon hearing this, suddenly remembered the rumors they had heard at the beginning of school.

It was said that both Shi Yiqing and Quan Sicheng were arrested by the police.

The reason for the arrest was...

Rape.

Although it was later clarified that the incident was a misunderstanding, after that, everyone knew about Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing’s affair.

Shi Yiqing did not expect Shi Yaoguang to bring up the past, and she couldn’t keep her face for a moment.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang patted her hands and exclaimed, "It seems you can’t explain your own behavior, can you?"

"That’s quite interesting," Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "Before the engagement party, you and Quan Sicheng had sexual relations... Does that count as adultery?"

"After all, one is the sister, and the other is the future brother-in-law..."

"Strictly speaking, this is incest."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Looking at Shi Yiqing, their eyes contained a bit more...

An indescribable ambiguity.

Shi Yiqing: "..."

Really wanted to swear.

Watching the situation turn around in an instant, she really particularly wanted to fight with Shi Yaoguang.

No, perhaps...

It would also be okay to fight with these rumor-driven people.

What even is all of this?

There was clearly nothing, and yet...

Thinking of how her explanation was dismissively blocked, she felt utterly choked up.

Fortunately, she still had a trump card.

Shi Yiqing thought about it and raised her voice again, "Don’t be fooled by her, everyone. She’s doing this on purpose, she just wants everyone to misunderstand me!"

"I purposely make everyone misunderstand you, for what benefit?"

Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms, her posture relaxed.

"For what benefit?" she scoffed. "There are plenty of benefits."

"If everyone blames the faults on me, they won’t pay attention to your issues! If they don’t notice the problems with you, my sister will never be able to return!"

Shi Yaoguang purposely drew out her tone, "Ah~ really?"

"Exactly!" Shi Yiqing fumed, "Don’t think by diverting the topic, you can make us believe you. I’m telling you, you’re dreaming!"

"To be honest, actually, I have a better way!"

As Shi Yiqing spoke, her gaze carried a hint of challenge, "If you dare accept my challenge, I will believe what you say. Otherwise... everything you say is false!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Then go ahead and say it."

Shi Yiqing cleared her throat, "You say I’m muscling in on my sister’s territory, but at least I didn’t steal her identity. What about you? You’ve taken everything that rightfully belonged to her! No matter what, I can’t just sit by and watch this happen, so..."

She scoffed, "I must prove you are fake and get my sister back! The best way to prove you’re a fraud is to start with what you care about most!"

Shi Yaoguang curved her lips into a smile, "So that’s your plan. Then tell me, what do I care about most?"

"The Quan Family!" Shi Yiqing said decisively, "Isn’t everything you do for the Quan Family? I know you intentionally used my sister’s identity to get close to them."

"Only my sister, who seems to have been sadly let down by Brother Sicheng, could approach Quan Sanyé and gain his sympathy. Quan Sanyé has been reclusively recuperating, surrounded by the same few people. Although he has great business acumen, his perception of people isn’t that sharp."

"That’s why you found your opportunity! You deliberately showed your vulnerabilities in front of him, making him feel a bit of pity for you. You seized the chance to propose marriage to him. Only by doing that, you could regain everything you’ve lost."

"Quan Sanyé, oblivious to the treacherous human heart, naturally agreed to you. And so, on the day you were supposed to be engaged to Si Shaoyou, you bypassed him and eloped with Quan Sanyé."

Shi Yiqing’s argument seemed well-founded. "Now, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Shi Yaoguang blinked, bewildered: "Are you done talking?"

Seeing her clear disdain as if her adversary couldn’t fight back, Shi Yiqing almost had a heart attack.

What on earth was Shi Yaoguang playing at?

Could she not have some awareness that she was being doubted?

Shi Yiqing was livid.

Meanwhile, Shi Yaoguang was the picture of calm.

Having no other option, Shi Yiqing continued, "After your sudden marriage with Quan Sanyé, you’ve done many things in the name of being the lady of the Quan Family!"

Shi Yaoguang asked in return, "Is there a problem with that?"

"First of all, by marrying Quan Sanyé, what’s his becomes mine, and we’re truly husband and wife. Do husband and wife need to be so clearly delineated?"

"Secondly, even if I really did something, what does it have to do with you? Although I mentioned last time that I wanted you and Quan Sicheng to break off the engagement, it hasn’t been officially carried out yet. That is to say, as of now, you are still Quan Sicheng’s fiancée."

"Since you are his fiancée, you should know that everything I do is perfectly logical. Even the old master of the Quan Family can’t find fault with it. Under these circumstances, what else do you expect from me?"

Shi Yiqing was at a loss for words, "I..."

"Hold on a second." Shi Yaoguang put on an expression of sudden realization, "I get it now."

Shi Yiqing was somewhat perplexed, "You get what?"

Shi Yaoguang tsked and shook her head, "You’re just trying to provoke an incident!"

Shi Yiqing’s eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

"It was Quan Sicheng who complained to you, wasn’t it?" Shi Yaoguang sighed deeply, "Otherwise, why would he be considered so useless? There’s a reason I don’t think highly of him..."
