Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Just Don’t Believe She Doesn’t Have a Weakness

Why is Shang Minghao calling her at this time?

Shi Yaoguang, filled with curiosity, answered the phone.

Shang Minghao’s voice soon came through.

"Let’s talk," he said.

His voice was unhurried yet carried a smugness.

Shi Yaoguang detected his mood but had no idea what he was thinking.

She asked in confusion, "What do we have to talk about?"

Shang Minghao spoke confidently, "I can give you what you’ve desired but could not obtain."

"Something I’ve desired but could not obtain?" Shi Yaoguang pondered for a moment and then revealed a playful expression, "What exactly is it that I have desired but could not obtain?"

This question genuinely piqued her curiosity.

After all...

She herself didn’t know what she wanted but couldn’t have.

After all...

Everything she wanted, she could get through her own efforts.

And what couldn’t be obtained through effort...

Was not something she wanted.

As long as she desired it, she would certainly obtain it.

Shi Yaoguang firmly believed in her life’s principle, and as for what Shang Minghao said, she was indeed curious.

Shang Minghao remained very confident, "Come to Mingzhu City."

Shi Yaoguang let out a cold laugh, "President Shang, aren’t you a bit too full of yourself? What makes you think that if you ask me to go to Mingzhu City, I will go?"

Shang Minghao: "I can give you what you want."

Shi Yaoguang laughed, "Since President Shang is so certain, why don’t you tell me what it is I actually want?"

Shang Minghao didn’t answer her question but instead stated, "I am at the Shi Family."

Having said that, he offered no further explanation.

This left Shi Yaoguang feeling speechless, "You’re at the Shi Family, so what?"

Shang Minghao: "... You’ll know when you get here."

Shi Yaoguang refused, "I’d rather not. If you have something to say, just say it over the phone. You and I aren’t close enough for a personal meeting."

Shang Minghao: "..."

He seemed to contemplate for a moment before finally saying, "You don’t need to come alone."

"Hmm?"

"You can bring Quan Jinbei with you," Shang Minghao said, feeling somewhat displeased at the mention of Quan Jinbei.

Last time, his attempt to win over Quan Jinbei had been rejected.

Even worse, Quan Jinbei had openly mocked him.

Remembering how Quan Jinbei said the benefits he could offer were less tempting than Shi Yaoguang’s, he felt frustrated.

He was, after all, a person of Heavenly Dao status, so why was he given so little respect?

But thinking of his purpose, he regained his composure.

He then insisted, "If I say I can give you what you want, I certainly can. Are you sure you won’t come?"

"Sorry," Shi Yaoguang refused again, "I am not at all interested in what you can offer. If the reason you called is just to tell me this, then I think there’s nothing more for us to talk about."

Shang Minghao: "..."

He gritted his teeth, finding Shi Yaoguang too difficult to handle.

After a moment of thought, he decided to make one last attempt.

If Shi Yaoguang maintained the same attitude, he would think of a different strategy.

No matter what, he was determined to make Shi Yaoguang compromise!

With that thought, he bluntly said, "Aren’t you the least bit curious about what the Shi Family is going through right now?"

"Not curious," Shi Yaoguang replied very directly.

Shang Minghao: "..."

"Whether you’re curious or not, I’m going to tell you."

Forced to listen, Shi Yaoguang had no choice but to lend an ear.

Then, she heard Shang Minghao say, "The biological parents of Shi Yiqing have returned, and they all want to take Shi Yiqing away."

Shi Yaoguang, hearing no follow-up, was somewhat speechless. "So what? What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that this failed to spark her interest, Shang Minghao had to continue, "Don’t you want to know what they plan to do with Shi Yiqing after taking her away?"

Shi Yaoguang: "What they want to do is their business, isn’t it? It has nothing to do with me at all."

"If you’re harassing me just to tell me this, I can tell you straightaway that I’m really not interested."

Shang Minghao wanted to say more, but she cut him off, "Whatever you want to tell me, whether Shi Yiqing and her biological parents reconnect, or they sever ties with their foster parents, or if all four of them decide to forget the past and get along like a family from now on, it’s none of my business. Do you understand?"

"As for what you’re saying about what I want... I think you haven’t thought it through."

Shi Yaoguang paused, her tone deadly serious, "I don’t want anything."

"Even if I did, it wouldn’t be something you could give me. Got it?"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Shang Minghao still wanted to argue and had been speaking for a while before realizing she had hung up.

This really infuriated him.

This time, he sincerely intended to give Shi Yaoguang a chance.

She would certainly regret her abrupt refusal!

Shang Minghao was certain, he would make Shi Yaoguang regret it.

At that thought, his mood suddenly brightened considerably.

As long as she regretted it, everything was negotiable.

He refused to believe that Shi Yaoguang truly had no vulnerabilities!

...

Unbeknownst to Shi Yaoguang, Shang Minghao had already presumptuously assigned her a vulnerability.

After hanging up, she treated the incident as a joke and shared it with Quan Jinbei.

After all, this was a major issue, and as her man, Quan Jinbei had the right to know.

After hearing the story from Shi Yaoguang, Quan Jinbei also grew curious, wondering what Shang Minghao was up to now.

Honestly, if Quan Jinbei truly had doubts, he would wonder how someone like Shang Minghao even became Heavenly Dao.

Or rather...

How Heavenly Dao’s incarnation became someone as foolish as Shang Minghao.

Or maybe...

The truth is that Heavenly Dao itself isn’t that bright.

Thinking this way, he felt his idea was spot-on.

If Heavenly Dao were truly wise, it couldn’t possibly be this silly.

If Heavenly Dao had even a bit of intelligence, it wouldn’t be so blindly in love.

Having silently criticized Heavenly Dao in his mind, Quan Jinbei also analyzed the purpose of Shang Minghao’s phone call.

Considering the events within the Shi Family, for Heavenly Dao to suddenly wish to talk with Shi Yaoguang, it had to be related to the Shi Family.

The Shi Family was now divided into three camps.

Shi Rusong and Wei Lan, Shi Ruhong, and Zhuang Yueyan.

Reportedly, under the coaxing... no, the combined efforts of Shi Yiqing and Shang Minghao, the four members of the Shi Family seemed to show signs of breaking the ice.

To this, Quan Jinbei found it preposterous.

Even the butler who was keeping an eye on the Shi Family thought so too.

Zhuang Yueyan had swapped Wei Lan’s child years ago and even persecuted Wei Lan’s biological daughter.

Shouldn’t Wei Lan, at the very least, cut all ties with Zhuang Yueyan, if not have a falling out to the death?

But now, unbelievably, they were almost as close as a family.

Then there were Shi Rusong and Shi Ruhong, who had also grown apart due to past events...

Under normal circumstances, leaving each other alone would be the norm.

Now, these four strangely harmonious individuals actually managed to get along.

It must be said, they really have a lot of nerve...
