Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Are there no parents who are not to blame?

Shi Yaoguang knew her thoughts, closed her eyes, and spoke with a strained voice, "Your body is indeed deteriorating..."

She had not noticed this issue earlier, not because she didn’t care, nor was it because Quan Jinbei deliberately concealed it.

It was simply because this "illness" had suddenly worsened.

As for why this was happening, the reason was quite straightforward.

The damned Heavenly Dao was at fault, and the plot-induced illness had begun again.

In her past life, she had been cannon fodder pushed forward by the Heavenly Dao, each step she took paved the way for Shi Yiqing.

And now, right in front of her very eyes, Quan Jinbei was suffering from a plot-induced illness!

According to the original plot, Quan Jinbei was not supposed to live past thirty.

That is to say, she must completely bring Shi Yiqing and Quan Sicheng down in the mud before Quan Jinbei turned thirty.

Only by thoroughly usurping their halos could she ensure the normal functioning of this world.

Then Quan Jinbei would not fall victim to the plot-induced illness!

Prior to this, other than finding ways to treat his body and lessen his suffering, she had no other options.

Quan Jinbei was the clearest about his own body.

At a certain moment, he distinctly sensed a change in his body.

He seemed to be able to perceive this change, yet also seemed unable to grasp it.

But this was not the point.

For him, the most important thing was...

to console the girl in front of him.

He could see that Shi Yaoguang was very self-blaming.

The first time they met, Shi Yaoguang had said she would save his life and let him live as long as he wished.

It has to be said, Shi Yaoguang’s offer was very tempting.

Even if it was just a fleeting moment, he was willing to give it a try.

In the time that had passed, he practiced every day, confident that his body was continuously improving.

Logically, given his current physical condition, he should not be suddenly deteriorating.

But...

If his body’s condition could be viewed logically, he would not have been fated since childhood to not live past thirty.

...

Shi Yaoguang was in very low spirits because of Quan Jinbei’s health.

Quan Jinbei didn’t know how to comfort her. Just then, Wei Lan called, wanting to meet with Shi Yaoguang and talk to her.

Without hesitating, Shi Yaoguang immediately agreed to the meeting.

The Shi Family.

When Shi Yaoguang arrived, Shi Rusong and Wei Lan, as well as Shi Yiqing were all present.

Of course, Quan Sicheng was not left out.

It was evident that Quan Sicheng had been exhausted from running about outside these days; his entire demeanor had aged considerably.

Previously, he had appeared as a spirited young man.

But now, in just a few short months, he had already begun to transform into a mature young adult.

Shi Yaoguang was not concerned about his situation, only...

Quan Sicheng’s change held a different significance for her.

In her last life, the change in Quan Sicheng occurred two years later.

At that time, Quan Sicheng was a college student; it was the perfect time for him to join the company, to gain experience for a while before taking over.

Once he adapted to the company’s pace, the mountain that was Quan Jinbei resting on his shoulders could be moved away.

In this life, due to her intervention, Quan Sicheng’s fighting spirit had been stimulated ahead of time, and he was developing towards maturity.

But for her, it wasn’t actually a good thing.

To put it more bluntly, Quan Sicheng had been empowered by the Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, the plotline was also advancing steadily, and this usurpation was happening at an even faster pace.

Thinking of this, her face grew even more unsightly.

What Shi Yaoguang was thinking, the people of the Shi Family had no clue.

In their eyes, all they could see was Shi Yaoguang’s complexion turning increasingly dark, and the air pressure around her growing heavier and heavier.

Shi Rusong’s forehead even began to sweat cold beads, her aura was so oppressive.

Wiping his sweat, he couldn’t help thinking to himself, the girl before him definitely couldn’t be his daughter.

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t have cared less about what he was thinking.

At this moment, her gaze was fixed intently on Quan Sicheng.

Quan Sicheng felt extremely uncomfortable under her stare and couldn’t help frowning as he spoke, "What are you looking at me for?"

Shi Yaoguang gave him a cold glance and scoffed, "I merely think that you’ve been becoming increasingly effeminate lately, worrying that you might go astray in your business dealings. I, as a mother, am kindly concerned for you. Is this how you doubt my intentions?"

Upon hearing these words, Quan Sicheng felt insulted.

"What right do you have to say something like that?"

He clenched his fists, looking at Shi Yaoguang with a face full of indignation, "If it weren’t for you, how would I have ended up in this situation?"

"Ha," Shi Yaoguang snorted coldly, "Whatever situation you’ve ended up in, that’s decided by the choices you make. What does it have to do with me?"

In a voice brimming with mockery, she said, "Did I make you mismanage your affairs, or did I make you go out and entertain with drinks and sell your body for the sake of business?"

Quan Sicheng’s face turned extremely ugly, and he ground his teeth, "Shi Yaoguang!"

"I can hear you," Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, "How many times have I told you, if you want to talk, just talk. Don’t shout with your throat. People who don’t know any better might think you’re a savage."

Quan Sicheng clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling.

Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows, a hint of contempt in her eyes, "What, thinking of getting physical?"

When Quan Sicheng saw the eager excitement on her face, his rage was instantly emptied.

Fight?

He simply couldn’t defeat Shi Yaoguang!

Thinking of this, he felt stifled.

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered with him, and looked up at Shi Yiqing, "And you..."

Shi Yiqing instinctively took a step back, her voice pitiful, "Sis..."

She managed to utter just one word before faltering.

Shi Yaoguang’s aura today was exceptionally dominant.

Shi Yiqing, driven by animal instinct, didn’t dare to confront her at all.

But she had already offended where she should have earlier, and now she was truly in an awkward position.

Shi Yaoguang snorted coldly, "If you can’t talk, then shut your mouth."

In the end, she looked at Wei Lan, who was huddled close to Shi Rusong, "Madam Shi, it’s your turn."

Wei Lan instinctively tightened her grip on Shi Rusong’s arm, her voice feebly defiant, "What, what kind of attitude is this?"

"What attitude?" Shi Yaoguang sneered, "You really are a person who easily forgets, Madam Shi."

Wei Lan showed a puzzled expression, only to hear her continue, "Don’t forget, although I was born to you, you only raised me for a short period. All expenses from that time, I’ve already repaid doubly."

"Therefore, I don’t think that any of you from the Shi Family have the right to stand on a higher plane than me, and say anything to me."

As she spoke, the mockery in her eyes grew even thicker, "Today, my willingness to come here was merely to see what kind of choice this loving family of yours would make."

Wei Lan, facing such attitude, was seething with anger, "In this world, there are no parents without faults! Even if we have done something to you, that is what you should endure. Look at you, what kind of attitude is that? Do you still have any respect for your elders in your eyes?"

Shi Yaoguang corrected her expressionlessly, "Elders are referred to as those who are worthy of respect, as for you—"
