Chapter 497: Chapter 497: You Want to Teach Me How to Do Things?

The silent frustration of everyone around went unnoticed by Shi Yiqing and Miao Jingjing, or perhaps, they chose to ignore it.

It wasn’t until Miao Jingjing had finished her excessive praise that she turned to the doctor, "Could you please give Bei Ranran a checkup? Don’t let any complications arise from this."

"After all," she added with a chilled hiss, "that was a needle in the face. What if it caused disfigurement?"

Bei Ranran had been unconscious when she was needled.

When she woke up, she didn’t experience the sensation of being needled at all.

Hearing Miao Jingjing’s words now left her somewhat confused, "What do you mean by that?"

Miao Jingjing covered her mouth with exaggerated laughter, "Ah~ I forgot you didn’t know—when you fainted earlier, it was Shi Yaoguang who needled your face, and that’s what woke you up."

"Do you feel something strange on your face now? I advise you not to stay silent just to save Shi Yaoguang’s face. Get treatment early before it’s too late. Don’t come crying about a ruined face later; even deities won’t be able to help you then."

All Bei Ranran did was express her confusion, and Miao Jingjing rattled off an earful in response.

Bei Ranran was somewhat speechless, "I just asked a question; how did you come up with so much to say?"

Shaking her head and rolling her eyes, she retorted, "Even if I am disfigured, it’s none of your concern."

Miao Jingjing huffed disdainfully, "You’re ungrateful!"

From the argument between the two, the doctor pieced together a rough idea of what had happened.

He found himself feeling quite bemused.

Looking at Shi Yaoguang’s calm demeanor, then at Shi Yiqing’s concerned face, his gaze finally settled on the real focus—Bei Ranran’s face.

Despite Miao Jingjing’s words, Bei Ranran’s face didn’t show much anxiety.

On the contrary, she remained very calm.

This surprised the doctor, "Bei Ranran, do you feel any discomfort right now?"

Bei Ranran shook her head, "I don’t feel any discomfort."

Hearing this, the doctor was still not reassured. He looked at Shi Yaoguang, seeking her input, "I hear you just needled her in the face. What’s that about?"

Shi Yaoguang briefly explained that Bei Ranran’s fainting was due to chronic toxins in her body, which, once accumulated to a certain level, would erupt.

Bei Ranran had fainted suddenly because she hadn’t been paying much attention to maintaining her health.

The needling Shi Yaoguang performed was meant to alleviate the aftereffects of the toxins’ outburst.

The small bottle she gave Bei Ranran contained pills that strengthened and nurtured the body’s foundation.

As long as Bei Ranran continued taking them, her body would definitely return to its peak condition.

After hearing Shi Yaoguang’s explanation, the doctor looked at her with some astonishment.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Shi Yaoguang.

Just from looking at Shi Yaoguang, one could tell she was young. How could someone her age be so skilled?

But...

Anyone who could get into Imperial Capital University wouldn’t be lacking in intelligence.

With that in mind, he asked, "Do you practice Chinese medicine?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, humbly responding, "A bit."

Seizing the chance, Shi Yiqing interjected, "Aren’t you being reckless? Needling someone’s face with just ’a bit’ of knowledge—what if there are accidents? If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

With a lecturing tone, she continued, "Even if you’ve married well, you can’t act like this! The family background of your husband might smooth over obstacles, but what you’ve done can’t be buried."

"It’s fine now that Bei Ranran is unharmed, but what if she had suffered an accident? How would you compensate?"

Shi Yaoguang scoffed, "You seem quite interested in my business?"

Shi Yiqing retorted, "I’m not interested in your business. I just don’t want to see others get hurt."

"Besides, this kind of harm could have been avoided."

Hearing her words, Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "If you insist on thinking everything I do harms others, there’s nothing I can do, but..."

"In the end, all of this has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Shi Yiqing’s face turned white as if hurt, "Do you... do you really have to be like this?"

"I am really just worried that you might do something wrong. Even though you have been kicked out of the house now... Dad and Mom are still concerned about you."

"You refuse to go back and see them, yet they are always thinking about you."

"I can’t persuade you to let go of the past, but at least, I hope you can make less trouble outside so they can be a bit more at ease."

Listening to Shi Yiqing’s sincere words, the looks in the classmates’ eyes towards Shi Yaoguang were all wrong.

The message conveyed by Shi Yiqing’s speech was teeming with implications.

Firstly, it signified that Shi Yaoguang’s husband’s family had a prestigious background.

It suggested that she had married into a powerful family, maybe even bullied others using her position.

Secondly, it revealed that she had been chased out of her home and had never returned to see her parents.

It emphasized that she was not a dutiful person; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chased out, and even after being chased out, she would have gone back to see her family. It was simply... unfilial.

Lastly, telling her to make less trouble implied that she frequently caused problems, as if it were a habit. It hoped that she would stop doing so and reform herself to lead a better life.

After listening to her, Shi Yaoguang’s lips curled, and she glanced at her sideways, "Are you teaching me how to handle things?"

Shi Yiqing bit her lip, full of grievance: "I, I didn’t..."

"Didn’t?" Shi Yaoguang sneered coldly, "Whether you did or didn’t, we both know very well."

Shi Yiqing wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Shi Yaoguang, "No need to say more, I don’t want to listen."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

Damn it.

She was seething inside, yet she couldn’t let it show on her face.

Miao Jingjing saw the mist quickly gathering around her eyes and couldn’t help the anger rising within her, finding Shi Yaoguang’s attitude too much.

"Shi Yaoguang, how can you be like this? Qingqing is kindly advising you. If you weren’t so troublesome, she wouldn’t need to be dragged down by you!"

"Not only do you not repent, but you also speak to Qingqing in this manner. Who do you think you are?"

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze bearing an inexplicable oppression.

"Do you also want to teach me how to behave?"

Hearing this question, Miao Jingjing felt somewhat guilty.

But she quickly got over it.

She did indeed want to. So what?

Meeting her fearless gaze, Shi Yaoguang smiled, "You are quite the loyal fan."

It sounded like Miao Jingjing had received a compliment.

But she didn’t feel happy.

Because...

From Shi Yaoguang’s words, she inexplicably heard something like...

"You are really a good dog."

Even though Shi Yaoguang hadn’t said so, Miao Jingjing was very aware of it, and this only intensified her dissatisfaction.

Yet, she didn’t dare to say anything.

Shi Yaoguang gave her a dangerous vibe.

Well, not just a little dangerous, but exceptionally dangerous.

This inexplicably caused her to feel a sort of fear, making her not dare to confront Shi Yaoguang head-on...
