Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Because You’re Too Stupid

Shi Yiqing V: "I’m saying this one more time, if you don’t want me to expose your secret, contact me immediately!"

Just two seconds after she sent that, she retweeted her own post and tagged Shi Yaoguang.

Now, everyone knew that the person Shi Yiqing mentioned in her earlier post was Shi Yaoguang.

The netizen’s first point of focus wasn’t that the person was Shi Yaoguang.

It was...

If Shi Yiqing’s two posts were related, then didn’t that mean that the sunflower image going viral online was created by Shi Yaoguang?

This speculation immediately blew up the internet.

"Isn’t Shi Yaoguang an actress? When did she start painting?"

"Are you living under a rock? Don’t you know about the last exhibition?"

"The painting of the village landscape displayed at the exhibition was the work of Actress Shi! Even the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association praised it!"

"And there’s more...

"I fear I might be a fake fan, having missed so much news about Actress Shi! But what shocked me the most is that sunflower!"

"If what they say online about the sunflower’s miraculous effects is true, I’ll never stop being a fan in my life! Actually, I also have a child with autism at home, and we’ve tried every possible method over the years with no effect. If the sunflower really is that miraculous, I’ll definitely enshrine the painting."

At that point, people sidetracked the discussion.

The reason was that Zhou Minran, while posting about the sunflower online, also mentioned the contents of his oath.

It all started when the old master asked him to hang up the sunflower, but Zhou Minran was reluctant, finding the sunflower too perfunctory.

As a result, he even demanded a convincing reason from the old master.

If the old master could provide one, he would enshrine the painting and offer it incense daily.

The outcome—

Was obvious.

Zhou Minran also uploaded a photo of him offering incense to the sunflower.

The scene was quite comical at one point.

After Shi Yiqing made her post, she kept an eye on the latest developments on Weibo.

Seeing netizens initially doubting Shi Yaoguang, she felt very pleased.

She even thought that it would be great if this could bring Shi Yaoguang down.

But to her annoyance, the netizens weren’t focusing on the point she wanted them to notice!

The netizens’ attention was captured by a single painting.

They even wanted to become die-hard fans of Shi Yaoguang because of it.

This had touched her sensitive nerve.

Just as she edited a long post to let everyone know about Shi Yaoguang’s "abnormality," Shi Yaoguang finally paid her some attention.

At that time, Shi Yaoguang was filming a movie with Quan Jinbei on a set.

This was the last movie she planned to do.

It could be considered her swan song.

She entered the entertainment industry because of Shi Yiqing.

Now that Shi Yiqing had been thoroughly dealt with, she naturally had no reason to waste time in the entertainment industry anymore.

She had already arranged with the school to take a leave of absence after this movie.

She was planning on working in a research institute.

She also intended to improve the photography technology of this era on the side.

Although the current world wasn’t entirely about entertainment supremacy, there were certainly signs of this trend.

Society was developing rapidly, and so must the technology in the film industry.

All of this was to come later.

Shi Yaoguang, upon being reminded by Zhou Minran that Shi Yiqing might be up to something, didn’t intend to pay it any mind.

But after seeing her subsequent actions, she grew curious, wondering what kind of trouble Shi Yiqing wanted to stir up now.

Because of this curiosity, she thought about meeting her.

When Shi Yiqing received the call, she almost cried with joy.

"Do you need something from me?"

Even upon hearing Shi Yaoguang’s indifferent voice, she still felt incredibly happy.

Shi Yaoguang’s willingness to contact her meant that she was still very afraid that she would tell her secrets to others.

As long as she harbored fear, that was her weakness.

As long as she could grasp this weakness, she wouldn’t worry about Shi Yaoguang...

Her beautiful dream, however, shattered before it even began with Shi Yaoguang’s next sentence.

"No matter what you want me to do, I won’t agree to it," she heard her say.

Shi Yiqing, naturally unable to accept this, immediately asked loudly, "Why?"

"Do I need a reason not to agree to you?"

Shi Yaoguang scoffed lightly, "If a reason is absolutely necessary..."

Shi Yiqing held her breath, waiting for what she would say next.

Then she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "If you really want a reason from me, I can tell you very clearly, I won’t be threatened by you."

Her tone was quite relaxed, "It’s precisely because I’m not worried about your threats that..."

"No matter what you want, I won’t give it to you."

Everything Shi Yiqing wanted was based on Shi Yaoguang’s willingness to cooperate.

Now that she had made it clear that she was unwilling, any further thoughts by Shi Yiqing were just wishful thinking.

Yet she was still unwilling to give up easily; Shi Yaoguang hadn’t shown this attitude before.

How much time had passed since then?

She couldn’t believe that she had become so unimportant to Shi Yaoguang so quickly.

That was what she thought, that was what she hoped for.

But...

Shi Yaoguang was not her, and couldn’t act according to her wishes.

"Shi Yaoguang, I’ll give you one more chance. Agree to one condition, and I won’t tell your secret to others," she offered.

Listening to her weak threat, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "Why don’t you start by telling me, what unspeakable secret do I have?"

This...

Shi Yiqing hesitated.

Shi Yaoguang urged, "I’m short on time. If your secret can’t threaten me, then no matter how you expose it, it won’t affect me, right?"

"If you really have something on me, it’s better to tell me, then you can threaten me."

Reminded by her, Shi Yiqing also felt that made sense.

She immediately said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll just tell you."

"I know, both you and President Shang are not normal people!"

It took a moment for Shi Yaoguang to digest this before she understood her meaning.

Then there was a light laugh, "Is this the secret you’re talking about?"

Shi Yiqing, hearing her voice, felt that something was amiss.

Shi Yaoguang, why isn’t she worried at all?

Could it be that she wasn’t afraid?

This secret being made public, she had no worries at all in her heart?

Shi Yaoguang kindly explained, "If you’re curious as to why I’m not worried about your threat, I can tell you directly."

Shi Yiqing eagerly inquired, "Why aren’t you worried?"

"Isn’t it simple why I’m not worried?"

Shi Yiqing wanted to say it certainly wasn’t simple.

She was indeed very curious and wanted to know what was really going on.

Soon, she got her answer.

"Because... you’re too stupid."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yiqing’s entire face twisted.

"Shi Yaoguang, what do you mean by that?"

"Naturally, I mean exactly what I said."

Shi Yaoguang gave a low laugh, her smile unexpectedly tinged with a touch of indulgence.
