After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 670: A Trace of Doubt

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: A Trace of Doubt

Unlike Quan Sicheng, who was abandoned by a girlfriend he deeply loved.

In Shi Yaoguang’s memory, she married Quan Jinbei because of love.

Quan Sicheng was nothing but an obstacle who wanted to prevent her love for Quan Jinbei.

For this reason, she felt it was absolutely necessary to have a good talk with him.

"I’m already married now, please recognize the reality and stop harassing me," she said.

Upon hearing these words, Quan Sicheng’s breath hitched.

Angry.

"Shi Yaoguang, do you even have a heart?" he said, his voice angry and on the verge of tears, "Does our relationship not compare to money and power? For the sake of moving up in the world, can you sacrifice yourself to please a man who was once my father?"

Quan Sicheng’s words were indeed unpleasant.

Those in the know were aware that Quan Sicheng, the illegitimate child, had occupied the identity of Quan Jinbei’s legitimate brother’s son for more than a decade.

The uninformed might think that Shi Yaoguang was after an old man many years her senior.

Clearly, Quan Sicheng belonged to the second group.

Even though he was directly involved in the incident, he felt no guilt whatsoever.

Perhaps in his view, he was the wronged party.

"Yaoguang, it’s my fault for not having the ability, but for the sake of my genuine feelings for you..."

Shi Yaoguang interrupted him ruthlessly: "Sorry, I can’t feel any genuine feelings from you."

Quan Sicheng’s face darkened, his tone tinted with dissatisfaction: "Shi Yaoguang!"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t care if he was happy or not and immediately sneered, "Quan Sicheng, I made things clear to you a long time ago."

"Even if you have delusions, don’t come to me to make a scene, I’m not a doctor, I don’t have the empathy to understand you, so... have some self-awareness, retain the last bit of dignity for yourself, okay?"

After saying this, she didn’t wait for Quan Sicheng’s reaction and immediately hung up the phone.

Pocketing her phone, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but reach out and rub her forehead.

She didn’t know how she had provoked Quan Sicheng; he seemed convinced that she had betrayed his feelings.

So annoying.

Quan Sicheng stared at the disconnected phone, his eyes filled with a deep gloom.

Shi Yaoguang had easily abandoned him for Quan Jinbei, and for this humiliation, he would seek revenge.

Quan Sicheng now felt a mix of love and hate toward Shi Yaoguang and immediately shared his thoughts with the elderly Mr. Quan.

Quan Sicheng knew that the elderly Mr. Quan loved him.

Because before the elderly Mr. Quan forced Quan Jinbei to marry Shi Yaoguang, he had talked to him.

Quan Jinbei was a person with a severe case of germophobia.

Given the extent of his germophobia, it was absolutely impossible for him to have anything to do with Shi Yaoguang.

It was because of the elderly Mr. Quan’s words that Quan Sicheng agreed to the arrangement.

Yes, that’s right.

The matter of Shi Yaoguang marrying Quan Jinbei was discussed and agreed upon between the elderly Mr. Quan and Quan Sicheng.

And Quan Sicheng had agreed to it.

Quan Sicheng had not stopped it before, but now he was mocking Shi Yaoguang; how shameless he was didn’t need further explanation.

Hearing Quan Sicheng’s words, the elderly Mr. Quan also felt that Shi Yaoguang was too much.

"Such a materialistic woman, what’s there for you to miss?" the elderly Mr. Quan couldn’t help but express his opinion.

Quan Sicheng still felt discontented.

He couldn’t bear to just let Shi Yaoguang say goodbye to him like that.

Especially when he had neither money nor power, and was inferior to Quan Jinbei in every way.

"Dad, even if Shi Yaoguang is not good, she’s still the woman I like, and I hope you can respect that," he said.

Pausing for a moment, he added, "As for whether she’s worthy of me, I have my own opinion."

Since he had said so much, the elderly Mr. Quan had nothing more to say and just agreed.

"I understand."

In his eyes, Shi Yaoguang had become nothing more than a tool.

Since she had married Quan Jinbei, even if she renewed her past relationship with Quan Sicheng, she couldn’t possibly marry his younger son.

So, even if his younger son wanted to have some fun, it was fine.

It must be said, such attitudes run in the family.

Both of these men, shameless to the same degree, were cut from the same cloth.

...

Shi Yaoguang, however, was unaware of the shamelessness Quan Sicheng shared with his father.

Although she was now a popular star, she still needed to attend to her scheduled appearances.

All this was arranged by Heavenly Dao.

Since Heavenly Dao had intervened, it certainly wasn’t to make Shi Yaoguang’s life easy; she couldn’t expect to complete her mission without effort.

To this, Shi Yaoguang adapted quite well.

Though she couldn’t remember the past, she still had instinctive reactions.

What’s a little more work?

Having become a renowned actress, she naturally wasn’t afraid to take on more.

However, some things still seemed off to her.

That was...

According to her status, she was already an award-winning actress and didn’t need to accept so many jobs, so the excessive workload was clearly unreasonable.

She didn’t know what was behind this.

After reviewing her schedule, she found nothing amiss.

She thought maybe she had simply taken on too many engagements beforehand and planned to cut back on them later.

Shi Yaoguang’s assistant completely agreed with her thoughts.

"I advised you before not to take on so much work, and you were reluctant. Now that you’ve achieved such success, there really is no need to accept so many jobs," said the assistant.

Listening to her assistant’s incessant chatter, Shi Yaoguang nodded.

"I understand."

After saying this, she casually brought up another topic, "What has my husband been up to recently?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant carefully recalled and shared her knowledge.

What the assistant said matched with Shi Yaoguang’s memory.

Quan Jinbei had recently gone on a business trip and had been quiet since returning.

Moreover, the marriage between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei wasn’t a secret; many people knew about their relationship, so the assistant didn’t find the question odd.

But soon, she had an inkling of what Shi Yaoguang might be hinting at.

"Yaoguang sister, are you asking this because you want to prepare a gift for Mr. Quan?"

"What gift?"

"A birthday gift," the assistant said with shining eyes. "The day after tomorrow is Mr. Quan’s birthday. You two probably want to spend a romantic twosome, right? But there are still many engagements on that day. You might want to postpone whatever you can..."

Shi Yaoguang listened thoughtfully to her assistant.

"Postpone what you can for me. Later, we’ll go to the mall together to pick out a gift."

The assistant readily agreed.

Little did she know the complexity of Shi Yaoguang’s feelings at that moment.

Her feelings were complex because she distinctly sensed something discordant.

Last night, Quan Jinbei’s attitude when he returned to her...

Well, she had been asleep when Quan Jinbei came back the previous night, so she hadn’t had the opportunity to gauge his attitude.

However, the butler’s demeanor had left her uncertain.

Logically, she had no personal grudges with the butler. When she left the house, the butler’s attitude clearly overstepped boundaries; either the butler had issues with her, or he’d seen through to Quan Jinbei’s attitude and was venting Quan Jinbei’s dissatisfaction on his behalf.

Whichever the reason, she needed to clarify it.
