Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Not So Stupid After All

"This is impossible!"

Shi Yiqing’s tone rose sharply, distinctly shrill, "I don’t believe it! This can’t be real!"

Nothing could sting more than this.

For what had Shi Yiqing schemed so long?

Wasn’t it all due to Quan Sicheng’s status?

Quan Sicheng was one of the Quan Family’s four young masters and the future heir.

If she married him, she’d enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

But now, Quan Jinbei was telling her that if it hadn’t been for her own mistake, she’d have all that glory and wealth in her hands already.

Such words were something Shi Yiqing absolutely, absolutely, absolutely wouldn’t believe.

Her gaze fell on Shi Yaoguang, grabbing at her like she was clutching at straws, she hurriedly said, "He’s lying to me, everything he said is a lie, right?"

Shi Yaoguang shrugged with an expression of helplessness, "What would be the benefit of him lying to you?"

Still unwilling to believe, Shi Yiqing wore a lost and devastated look, "This is impossible, just impossible."

"There’s nothing impossible,"

said Shi Yaoguang, as if in a lament, "Actually, I have to thank you."

"If you hadn’t been so calculating in trying to take everything from me, I wouldn’t have met Third Master."

"And it was due to a twist of fate that I ended up with him. After being with him, I realized he was never ill at all, it was all an act."

Shi Yiqing was nearly driven mad.

Mad with fury.

She glared furiously at the two, her eyes seeming to shoot fire, "You didn’t say anything before, why disclose it now? You did this intentionally, right? It must be on purpose!"

"You say this now to make me regret!"

She spoke righteously indignant, "Don’t dream about it, I absolutely won’t have any regrets, never will I!"

Shi Yaoguang flashed a sneering smile, "Whether or not you regret has nothing to do with us, does it?"

Quan Jinbei’s expression remained cold, "I only thought it necessary for you to know the truth, that’s why I told you all this."

Shi Yiqing clenched her fists, puffed up with rage she said to Quan Jinbei, "Since you fancied me, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If it weren’t for you, how could I possibly..."

"Why should I have told you earlier?"

Shi Yaoguang sounded incredulous, "If I had told you earlier, where would the surprise be?"

As she spoke, she sighed as if in contemplation, "If I had informed you, a man as good as Third Master wouldn’t have ended up with me, would he?"

"Just thinking of it scares me." She hugged her frail and helpless self, "If it weren’t for your mischief, I perhaps wouldn’t have thought to seek Third Master’s help."

"If Third Master hadn’t turned cold on you, he wouldn’t have accepted me."

"In the end, if I have what I have today, it’s all thanks to you."

Shi Yaoguang expressed genuine gratitude, "Although I didn’t want a sister like you at all, I still want to sincerely say thank you to you today here."

"Shut your mouth!" Shi Yiqing couldn’t control herself and bellowed.

Is Shi Yaoguang even human anymore?

How could she say such things!

If it hadn’t been for her, if it hadn’t been for her...

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt inside.

Shang Minghao watched the drama unfold for a good while, and seeing that Shi Yiqing couldn’t control herself, he finally stepped up to her and patted her on the back.

Shi Yiqing’s mind suddenly cleared.

The way she looked at Shi Yaoguang was laced with extra caution and defensiveness, "You did it on purpose!"

Shi Yaoguang wore a look of feigned ignorance.

But Shi Yiqing was certain, "You did it intentionally!"

She tilted her head, "I don’t understand what you are talking about."

Shi Yiqing clenched her teeth in anger, "You’re purposely saying these things just to piss me off! If any of this were true, you would have been unable to resist coming to me and showing off long ago!"

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Shi Yaoguang elegantly rolled her eyes, "I lost a rotten sesame seed but picked up a fine melon like Mr. San. I don’t even have the time to hide and cherish it, let alone tell you."

"You’re even so eager to snatch Quan Sicheng from me, why on earth would I tell you anything good about Mr. San?"

Shi Yiqing’s face was contorted with rage, and she wanted to say more, but Shang Minghao stopped her.

Dissatisfied, Shi Yiqing looked at Shang Minghao, "Why are you stopping me?"

Shang Minghao looked at her, a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Enough, don’t forget where we are. What kind of image does making a scene give off?"

Reminded by his words, Shi Yiqing recalled the current setting.

She quickly reined in her emotions, striving to squeeze out a smile.

However, Shi Yaoguang immediately said, "I’m begging you, please don’t smile."

Shi Yiqing was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Shi Yaoguang covered her eyes, "It’s stinging my eyes."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

Damn!! She was infuriated!

No, a big star can’t get angry, image, image, must maintain the image!

While Shi Yiqing was brainwashing herself internally, Shi Yaoguang spoke up again.

"Oh right, I have some bad news for you, which I think you’ll be quite curious about."

Shi Yiqing chuckled.

Without Shi Yaoguang having to say it, she knew that whatever was coming wasn’t going to be good news.

Still, she waited.

"I’m quite interested to see what you could possibly say!"

Then, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "First, let me congratulate you on becoming Bada Entertainment’s favored leading lady."

"No need for your pretense," Shi Yiqing retorted sharply.

Shi Yaoguang continued, "As for me, I’ve also decided to have a little fun in the entertainment industry."

"So... I’ve groomed a batch of newcomers who follow the same path as you."

She stroked her chin, seemingly reminiscing, "The people our family produces, although they follow the same path as you, they really have no points of comparison with you."

Listening to this, Shi Yiqing felt something was off but still snorted coldly, "At least you have some self-awareness."

Knowing that not every common bird can be compared with her.

Just as she thought this, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "Those who follow the same path as you, if not prettier, then they have better figures, or else stronger professional skills than you..."

Shi Yaoguang counted on her fingers, comparing the newcomers she had cultivated directly with Shi Yiqing.

And then...

Shi Yiqing was thoroughly beaten without a doubt.

Shi Yiqing’s face turned green; she was convinced that Shi Yaoguang was deliberately targeting her.

She was here to mess with her!

Seemingly discerning her thoughts, Shi Yaoguang briskly admitted it.

"It seems you’re not so dumb after all; you still have a brain."

"All that I’ve done, I did just to mess with you."

"If it wasn’t for that, why would I waste my time?"

As she spoke, she clicked her tongue, "But then again, it’s not like I needed to go this far with you. Do you want to know why I suddenly made these arrangements?"

Shi Yiqing knew that this was the kind of question that even if asked, would be in vain.

But she couldn’t help her curiosity and still asked, "Why?"

"Because—" Shi Yaoguang lifted her chin, pointing at Shang Minghao, "because of him."
