Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Use Your Brain Before Acting Next Time

Shi Yaoguang didn’t care about whom Shi Yiqing held a grudge against.

When she and Zhuge Qingqing arrived at the banquet hall, they saw a familiar face.

"Sister Fairy, you also think he looks somewhat handsome, right?"

Zhuge Qingqing’s voice rang in her ear.

Shi Yaoguang hmm-ed in agreement, "He is indeed handsome."

Zhuge Qingqing giggled, "Sister Fairy, what do you think of him?"

"What do you mean by ’what do I think’?"

"You two..." Zhuge Qingqing raised both hands, thumb touching thumb, "Are you at all interested, you know, in a hehehehe ..."

Shi Yaoguang gave a light cough, "I ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the man they were discussing walking toward them.

Zhuge Qingqing was a bit excited, "He’s coming over, he’s coming over!"

"Is it possible that he’s taken a fancy to you too?"

As she spoke, her tone became excited, "If you two powerhouses united, the baby you’d have would certainly be the icing on the cake, right? Ying ying ying, just thinking about it is so exciting!"

Listening to Zhuge Qingqing’s excited voice, Shi Yaoguang was somewhat helpless, "You’re thinking too much."

"How so?"

Zhuge Qingqing refused to admit it, "It’s a reasonable expectation."

"What are you two talking about?"

The man’s deep voice sounded, causing Zhuge Qingqing to immediately fall silent.

Shi Yaoguang was slightly helpless, "Qingqing says that if we had a child, it would surely be the icing on the cake."

Upon hearing this, he was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, "Indeed, it would be the icing on the cake, but..."

He looked at Shi Yaoguang, his voice carrying a hint of ambiguity, "It’s just that I’m not sure if Miss Shi would be willing."

Zhuge Qingqing blinked, "You two... know each other?"

She was also realizing this late.

Quan Jinbei nodded, introducing himself, "Miss Zhuge, it’s a pleasure,"

"I’m Quan Jinbei, Yaoguang’s man."

Zhuge Qingqing nodded, "It’s a pleasure."

After saying that, her eyes widened, "You, you two ..."

"You’re already a couple?"

As she said that, her tone was one of realization, "I just knew it; you two give off such a similar vibe, so you really are a couple."

Listening to her, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but throw in a sarcastic remark, "You know again? What a sycophant."

"Who are you talking about?" Zhuge Qingqing huffed, "Don’t forget who you are! Act like the servant you’re supposed to be."

Shi Yiqing’s face turned ugly, "Don’t push your luck."

Because not everyone in the banquet hall wanted to appear on camera, the live-streaming drone didn’t come too close.

Even if outsiders were captured on camera, they would be pixelated.

Therefore, Shi Yiqing wasn’t worried about her image being compromised.

Zhuge Qingqing, of course, knew she wasn’t concerned, but she still felt confident.

"Shi Yiqing, you’d better behave and not stir up any trouble, or else ..."

"Or else what?"

Shi Yiqing glared at her, disdain on her face.

"I can only expose you." Zhuge Qingqing said, pulling out a mobile phone from her pocket, "To prevent you from not listening to me, I brought a video camera specially."

"You— " Shi Yiqing gritted her teeth, "You’re despicable!"

"How could this be called despicable? It’s just normal precaution." Zhuge Qingqing said, but then she saw Shi Yiqing’s expression suddenly light up.

She subconsciously looked back and found herself locking eyes with the inquisitive gaze of a man in a suit and leather shoes.

Zhuge Qingqing unconsciously frowned, "Who is this guy?"

Shi Yaoguang clarified for her, "Shang Minghao."

With just a name, Zhuge Qingqing understood the man’s identity.

"So it’s him."

As he spoke, he looked at Shi Yiqing and indeed saw the triumphant glint in the other’s eyes.

Zhuge Qingqing shook her head, sighing.

She thought to herself, Shang Minghao does look alright, but it’s a pity that such a young man is already so timid.

Tsk.

Truly, nobody’s perfect.

...

Shang Minghao didn’t even know that he had been critiqued.

Honestly, he hadn’t noticed Shi Yiqing at first glance.

Shi Yiqing was dressed as a maid, and although the waitstaff present weren’t in maid outfits, don’t expect her to stand out in one.

What Shang Minghao first noticed was Shi Yaoguang.

He walked towards Shi Yaoguang, stood in front of her, and said with meaningful intent, "Long time no see."

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, her expression indifferent, "Mr. Shang."

Just as Shang Minghao was about to say something, he heard a pitiful voice call out to him, "Mr. Shang~"

Hearing the voice, he then turned his attention to Shi Yiqing.

Seeing Shi Yiqing’s attire, his face darkened, "What is the meaning of this?"

He had prepared such good conditions for Shi Yiqing, how on earth did she end up like this?

Shi Yiqing felt very wronged, all she wanted now was to vent her grievances to Shang Minghao.

"Mr. Shang, Zhuge Qingqing went too far, she deliberately set me up, you must stand up for me!"

Hearing her deliberately soft and tender voice speaking to Shang Minghao, Min Zekai silently stepped back a few paces, hoping to keep a distance from her.

Some people are not to be trifled with, he’d better...

Stay far away.

Instead of feeling sympathy for Shi Yiqing’s plight, Shang Minghao grew more impatient with her.

He had never had any particular affection or pity for Shi Yiqing.

If it weren’t for his shortsightedness, having chosen the wrong person from the start, none of this would be happening.

If Shi Yiqing was foolish enough to be tricked by someone else, how dare she come to him complaining about it?

Sorry, but he was not interested in indulging her.

After Shi Yiqing finished laying out her grievances, expecting Shang Minghao to coddle her, but not receiving the reaction she wanted, she couldn’t help showing a disappointed expression.

Looking at Shang Minghao, there was also a touch of accusation in her eyes.

"Next time, use your brain before doing anything, don’t embarrass me."

Shang Minghao couldn’t care less about her, after scolding her, he moved closer to Shi Yaoguang.

"Miss Shi, aren’t you curious why he and I have become Wolong Town’s honored guests?"

Shi Yaoguang retorted, "Why should I want to know?"

Shang Minghao was at a loss for words.

Isn’t it normal for a person to have a bit of curiosity?

Why does there need to be a reason?

But Shi Yaoguang was precisely the type who needed reasons.

Unable to give one, Shang Minghao could only shut his mouth sulkily.

Quan Jinbei, however, took the initiative to explain the situation to her.

He had already surveyed the geographical location of Wolong Town, as well as other elements.

After determining Wolong Town’s investment value, he decided to discuss investment and development issues with the town’s mayor.

It was just a coincidence that he encountered another group of people.

"What are they here for?"

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t interested in what Quan Jinbei was up to, or rather, there was nothing Quan Jinbei could do that would surprise her.

What she was more curious about was the intentions of the other group of people.

Quan Jinbei had only a rough idea and didn’t know the details.

Zhuge Qingqing answered the question on his behalf, "I know what they are here for!"
