After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 667: Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West

Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West

The past was shrouded in dust, and the prologue began anew.

When Shi Yaoguang woke up again, there were some gaps in her memory.

She temporarily forgot that she had once worked at the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

All she remembered was that she was the true daughter of the Shi Family.

Because she didn’t see eye to eye with her parents’ beliefs, she broke ties with the Shi Family.

By chance, she fell in love with Quan Jinbei, the head of the Quan Family. Quan Jinbei had recently been away on business, and she missed him dearly.

...

If Shi Yaoguang remembered everything about her past, she would know that what she currently remembered was precisely what the Heavenly Dao wanted her to remember.

To put it more bluntly, it was a script.

The current Shi Yaoguang was living within a script.

Playing the role that the Heavenly Dao wanted her to play.

And this was her life before awakening her memories.

The difference was that in the past, the scripts were designed for her to support Shi Yiqing.

To sacrifice her for the betterment of Shi Yiqing.

This time it was a vengeful arrangement by the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao knew full well that Shi Yaoguang usurped Quan Sicheng’s identity and even destroyed the rules he had established, inevitably causing a decline in his power.

At this juncture, Shi Yaoguang would definitely live out her life according to the script he provided.

Following his script, Shi Yaoguang would not be so lucky this time.

...

Elsewhere.

Quan Jinbei woke up in a very strange place.

When he awoke, there was no one by his side.

After carefully piecing together his thoughts, he could only muster a few fragmented memories.

These memories were enough to get him back to the Imperial Capital from M Continent.

After returning to the Imperial Capital, he met the butler.

The butler had come from Quan Mansion; he had suddenly received a notice.

The notice was forged by the Heavenly Dao, pretending to be from Quan Jinbei, and the butler naturally couldn’t contend with this deception.

"Third Master!"

Upon seeing him, the butler displayed an excited expression.

Quan Jinbei thought all the way on the plane and couldn’t figure out what he had forgotten.

He just felt that his memory seemed somewhat incomplete.

Seeing the excited butler, he couldn’t help but ask, "Butler, do you know what I have been doing lately?"

The butler recounted what he knew according to the memories arranged by the Heavenly Dao.

"You haven’t done anything particularly special recently."

As the butler recalled the events Quan Jinbei was involved in, indeed, there didn’t seem to be any gaps in the narrative.

After talking about recent events, the butler then asked Quan Jinbei, "Third Master, do you feel something is amiss?"

Quan Jinbei nodded, pinching the bridge of his nose, his expression one of troubled thought: "I vaguely know I’ve forgotten something, but I can’t think of what it actually is..."

The butler didn’t quite understand Quan Jinbei’s thoughts. Suddenly, his gaze fell on an advertisement board on the roadside.

"I know now!"

The butler snapped his fingers, his expression one of realization, "You’re talking about your wife, aren’t you, Third Master?"

"Wife?"

Quan Jinbei narrowed his eyes, revealing a puzzled expression, "What wife?"

The butler’s eyes widened, "Third Master, you don’t remember?"

Quan Jinbei looked utterly bewildered and didn’t seem to be pretending.

"Third Master, do you still remember that you are married?"

The butler asked tentatively.

Quan Jinbei frowned and after careful recollection finally unearthed a blurry figure in his memory.

In his memory, he was indeed married.

However, the person he married was the choice made by the old master.

She was a girl he did not like.

If the old master hadn’t threatened him with death, he would never have married her.

With this thought, Quan Jinbei instantly lost interest in the girl.

The butler, seeing the Third Master’s expression, didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he simply chose to say nothing.

Meanwhile, he was quite puzzled in his heart.

He wondered what exactly was going on with the Third Master.

She had even forgotten his wife.

You should know, after Third Master fell in love with the madam at first sight, their relationship had always been good.

Even quarrels were very rare.

The butler subconsciously thought this.

After thinking, he suddenly showed a perplexed expression.

When did Third Master fall in love with the madam at first sight?

The madam was clearly someone the old master forced Third Master to marry, and the Third Master had no feelings for his current wife at all.

Thinking this, the butler felt that this was indeed the case.

There were no feelings between the madam and Third Master at all.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Third Master.

What a good person Third Master was, to have even his marriage controlled by the old master.

Although Third Master’s health had improved now, and he was no longer the sickly person he used to be.

But...

This was what he traded for with the sacrifice of his own marriage!

Thinking of this, the butler no longer had any good feelings towards the madam.

...

The situation was different from Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s.

For Quan Sicheng, his memory was that he and Shi Yaoguang shared a deep bond and mutual affection.

Just when they were about to be together, his identity as an illegitimate son was exposed.

After the exposure, he and Shi Yaoguang, the affectionate couple, were directly torn apart.

Thinking of this, Quan Sicheng absolutely detested Quan Jinbei.

He even harbored a hint of resentment towards Shi Yaoguang.

In his memory, Shi Yaoguang had willingly married Quan Jinbei.

Even though there was no love between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, she still chose to marry him willingly.

For what?

When it comes down to it, it was for the money!

Thinking that she did it for the money, Quan Sicheng felt disgusted.

So what if he had no money?

He was still young!

As the saying goes, "Fortune comes and goes," and one should never despise a youth for being poor!

He might be penniless now, but that doesn’t mean he will be unable to make money for the rest of his life!

On what basis did Shi Yaoguang break up with him to throw herself into Quan Jinbei’s arms?

In Quan Sicheng’s eyes at that moment, he was the one who was abandoned.

His feelings for Shi Yaoguang were also extremely complex.

On the one hand, he deeply loved Shi Yaoguang.

On the other hand, he felt that Shi Yaoguang had let him down.

With both feelings combining, it was natural that his emotions were very conflicted.

...

Quan Sicheng’s dilemma was known only to himself.

Now, let’s go back to the situation with the old master of the Quan Family.

The old master still remembered that Quan Sicheng was his own illegitimate son.

At the same time, the one he loved the most in his heart was also this illegitimate son, Quan Sicheng.

All the things he did back then were just to make Quan Sicheng’s status more secure.

If he wasn’t worried that Quan Jinbei would be unwilling to trust him, he would never have split up his younger son and Shi Yaoguang, the loving couple.

But the one who aims to achieve great things shouldn’t get caught up in petty details.

All that he did was for the good of Quan Sicheng.

He didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.

The old master came to the Imperial Capital this time, wanting to fight once more for what belonged to Quan Sicheng.

Imperial Capital, Quan Family.

The Quan Family’s old house was not located in the Imperial Capital, but being wealthy, it was not a hindrance to have a place to stay in every city.

There you have it, after his arrival, that’s where the old master was staying.

With the intervention of Heavenly Dao, the conflict that could have arisen between the old master and Quan Jinbei had simply vanished.

Well, it’s a bit early to say this now.

Currently, there was still a conflict between the old master and Quan Jinbei, and it arose because of Shi Yaoguang, but it was not the situation from before.
