Chapter 681: Chapter 681: What is he? A pig teammate!

"Is my attitude really that hard for you to understand?"

Shi Yaoguang looked at Quan Sicheng, who seemed to prefer a swift death, and asked the question she was curious about.

Quan Sicheng wore an expression as though he had suffered the greatest humiliation, "We clearly had an agreement before, and you promised me, why didn’t you keep your word? I originally thought that no amount of money could sway you, given our feelings for each other."

"Hmm." Shi Yaoguang stroked her chin and measured him up with a mocking smile, "When you questioned me, did you ever ponder one thing?"

"What thing?"

Shi Yaoguang curled her lips, her smile taunting, "You think I would not be easily swayed, yet you were the one to waver first."

"I did not!" Quan Sicheng would say anything rather than admit it.

However, just because he refused to admit it, it did not mean it never happened.

Shi Yaoguang directly expressed her thoughts, "Even if you don’t admit it, it doesn’t change the fact."

"What... What fact?"

Quan Sicheng still wanted to struggle, to prove that he was devoted.

But Shi Yaoguang wasn’t about to give him the chance, "In an attempt to seize the Quan Family’s wealth, you arranged for me to marry Quan Jinbei."

"That action itself represents you giving up so-called love, choosing money and power instead."

"You’ve done the twelfth; how dare you question me why I would do the thirtieth?"

Although Shi Yaoguang’s memory did not contain any recollections of being in love with him.

That did not hinder her from mocking Quan Sicheng using that point.

Quan Sicheng indeed felt the sting of her mockery.

Yet, he stood his ground, unwilling to admit, "I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"It’s okay if you don’t understand," Shi Yaoguang’s laughter was clear, "I don’t mind explaining it to you personally, what it means to... lose the wife and the troops."

Quan Sicheng’s pupils dilated suddenly, his tone even more tense and wary, "What do you mean?"

"Just the literal meaning." Shi Yaoguang blinked, the picture of innocence, "Isn’t it that you can’t comprehend my meaning? Aren’t you happy I’m personally showing you?"

Quan Sicheng: "..."

Why should he feel happy?

Clearly, Shi Yaoguang’s attitude was targeted at him.

Happy?

Happy my foot!

No matter what thoughts he harbored inside, Shi Yaoguang’s stance wouldn’t change.

"Even though you might not need a personal demonstration, I want to show you, and that’s my freedom."

Quan Sicheng: "..."

If you’ve already made up your mind, then why say anything at all?

He cursed internally, but dared not show it on his face because...

He feared Quan Jinbei would go mad and beat him again.

Standing and taking a beating was truly an unpleasant experience.

If Shi Yaoguang knew what he was thinking, she would surely tell him.

Standing to be beaten was too tiring; if you have to be beaten, sitting down was more comfortable.

Of course, lying down would be the most comfortable, if possible.

However...

There’s that saying.

Comfort is reserved for the dead.

It’s up to Quan Sicheng whether he wants to endure the pain and cling to a wretched existence or die.

Cough, I digress.

Shi Yaoguang said she would show Quan Sicheng, and she wasn’t joking.

It was one thing not knowing what Quan Sicheng and the old man Quan intended to do.

Now that she did know, not repaying them in kind would be a disservice to their efforts.

Don’t say that Quan Sicheng has memory issues; perhaps, one can’t blame him for this.

His memory might indeed have problems.

But, that proves nothing.

If we’re talking about memory issues, Quan Jinbei has them too.

Why was he able to detect the problems in his memory and make improvements?

Quan Sicheng was either incapable, or it was what he subconsciously desired.

Because the memories that had been tampered with were so close to what his subconscious wanted to do.

So that’s why he had those thoughts.

If that was the case, then things were getting interesting.

If Quan Sicheng knew that his questioning Shi Yaoguang this time was an act of self-humiliation, he would probably cry, right?

Just thinking about his crying face made Shi Yaoguang unable to suppress a laugh.

Quan Sicheng didn’t know what Shi Yaoguang was thinking, and her sly smile made him shudder.

He didn’t know why.

It’s just that he felt... his girlfriend was not quite what he had imagined.

There was a sense of...

Being out of control.

A feeling of unease was spreading at the bottom of his heart, and Quan Sicheng hadn’t realized what Shi Yaoguang meant by her "performance" when he saw Quan Jinbei make a phone call to the old Master Quan.

"Dad."

As soon as the call connected, Quan Jinbei called out first.

Soon, the voice of old Master Quan came through, "Third son, what’s the matter?"

Quan Jinbei glanced at Quan Sicheng with an expressionless face, "There’s something I want to talk to you about."

A moment of silence followed on the other end, not knowing what the old Master was thinking, before he replied quickly, "What do you want to talk about?"

"I want to talk to you about why you’re plotting against me."

Quan Jinbei cut to the chase and voiced his suspicions.

Quan Sicheng had thought of many versions where Quan Jinbei was intentionally fishing for information.

But he never expected him to be so direct.

And with such a hardball.

The old Master Quan was clearly also taken by surprise, and he tried to play it off with a laugh, "Jinbei, my boy, what are you talking about? When have I ever plotted against you?"

"Dad, there’s no need to defend yourself," Quan Jinbei said with unexpectedly calm, "Quan Sicheng has told me everything."

The old Master Quan obviously had a momentary system crash before he cleared his throat, "What did he, what did he tell you?"

Quan Jinbei’s tone turned colder, "He said that you and he, together, want to take everything from me, even... the future of my children has been arranged by you."

That arrangement, of course, meant being arranged out of existence.

The old Master Quan and young Quan Sicheng were just exploiting his fastidiousness.

Knowing his cleanliness obsession was quite severe.

They deliberately made Shi Yaoguang marry him.

Though now...

It has been confirmed that there are problems with his memory.

His being with Shi Yaoguang has little to do with Quan Sicheng.

Yet, the memories Quan Sicheng had involved him plotting with the old Master against his own inheritance.

That, to a certain extent, was the true intention of both of them.

Quan Jinbei was no saint; he could not maintain indifference knowing the extent of their plotting against him, as if nothing had happened.

The old Master Quan had not expected Quan Sicheng to spill everything.

What was the term for someone who hinders their side?

A pig of a teammate, that’s it!

Yes! A pig of a teammate!

Quan Sicheng sneezed several times due to the old Master Quan’s nagging.

Shi Yaoguang stepped back several steps in disgust, putting distance between them.

The old Master Quan on the other end of the phone heard the sneezing too.

He couldn’t help but raise his voice, "Is Xiaocheng next to you?"

This, naturally, was addressed to Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei responded with a hmm, "Originally, I wouldn’t have known about your plan with him, but... he saw the news online and couldn’t help coming to confront my wife."

As he spoke, his tone took on a hint of mockery, "Dad, I shouldn’t have done anything to wrong you, should I?"

The old Master Quan sounded a bit embarrassed, "Of, of course not..."

"Since I haven’t done anything to wrong you, why would you conspire with your illegitimate child against me?" Quan Jinbei asked with a hostile tone.
