Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Follow the Plan, Everything You Need

The old Master Quan’s thoughts, although Shi Yaoguang didn’t know them, weren’t hard to guess.

Even if she had known the old man’s thoughts, she wouldn’t have found them surprising.

If Quan Jinbei could accept such things, then she, an outsider, would certainly care even less.

Now, well...

It was important to secure a substantial sum.

With that in mind, Shi Yaoguang directly stated her demands.

"As compensation for my emotional distress, I would like you to return the Xishan Villa as well as the shares in xx company and..."

Listening to Shi Yaoguang list a multitude of assets, the old Master Quan felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seemed as though he had experienced such a scene before.

But upon closer consideration, he deemed it impossible. If Shi Yaoguang had that kind of audacity, he wouldn’t have felt uneasy about letting Quan Sicheng be with her.

Finding a wise and capable wife is crucial. More than crucial, actually.

At the very least, one with an extraordinary family background.

The wife the old Master had chosen for Quan Sicheng had to be perfect in every way.

However...

When he had been considering candidates, he hadn’t taken into account whether the other party would be willing to marry their daughter to an illegitimate son.

The upper-class society has always valued propriety.

A match where one party marries up is indeed very rare.

Is that not why they say that marriage is an alliance between powerful families?

If Quan Sicheng were Quan Jinbei’s son, even if adopted, with the future heir of the Quan Family title on his shoulders, there would naturally be many who would want to marry him.

But he is only an illegitimate child now.

Just an illegitimate child.

Who would care for that?

If there were any better options, no one would consider him first.

And those who had other options, why would they settle for him?

So, the old Master Quan was really just dreaming.

The marriage he wished to arrange for Quan Sicheng, in truth hardly anyone would approve.

Well, speaking of which...

Naturally, the old Master Quan was unwilling to agree to Shi Yaoguang’s exorbitant demands.

After all, he didn’t have much money to begin with.

Before Heavenly Dao fell asleep, it altered the memories of some people.

Yet, essentially nothing changed.

For instance...

The old Master Quan didn’t have much actual power at his fingertips now.

The assets Shi Yaoguang was demanding made up more than half of what he currently possessed.

If he gave those up, the old Master Quan would be left with half a life at best.

But to give or not was not for the old Master Quan to decide.

If he had even the slightest unwillingness to give up on Quan Sicheng, he had to give up those assets.

As expected.

Upon learning that Quan Sicheng was being tormented by Quan Jinbei, he gave in despite his reluctance and handed over the assets while holding his nose.

His complexion afterward was darker than ever before.

However, both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei couldn’t see it.

Quan Sicheng...

He didn’t have the face to look either.

After sending Quan Sicheng away, Quan Jinbei’s look at Shi Yaoguang changed.

"How did you come up with the idea to blackmail the old master?"

Shi Yaoguang replied naturally, "I thought he would definitely give in, so I asked for it."

Hearing her answer, Quan Jinbei momentarily didn’t know what to say.

Because she knew the old master would give in, she dared to ask. That, too, was very powerful.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t see anything wrong with what she said.

In fact, she was quite proud of her actions.

It wasn’t about the money; it was all for a moment of happiness.

...

Shi Yaoguang was happy, but the old master of the Quan Family and Quan Sicheng were not.

With just a word from her, she wanted to take away the last half of the old master’s assets.

Could this really be the work of a human?

Yet Shi Yaoguang actually went ahead and did it.

When Quan Sicheng saw the old man, he was completely deflated.

He hadn’t expected that his girlfriend, when turning against him, would be so ruthless.

The old master looked at his most beloved son, his face overcast.

"Do you know what you’ve done?"

Quan Sicheng hung his head, looking like an elementary school student who had done something wrong.

The old master looked at him and sighed, "I don’t even want to say anything more to you, just remember what you’ve done yourself."

"I..." Quan Sicheng bit his lip, "I’m sorry, Dad, I didn’t mean for it to happen, I didn’t know she would change so much all of a sudden."

"Is the problem really about how much she’s changed?" The old master expressed with an iron-hard face that was not yet strong enough.

Quan Sicheng hung his head again as he listened to the old man speak in an unfriendly tone, "You say you were beaten up by the third child, and he didn’t even look for anyone else’s help."

"While it’s true the third child is six years older than you, don’t you forget he lay in bed for over twenty years! You tell me, you couldn’t even beat a sickling, how can I still trust you?"

Speaking of this, Quan Sicheng felt aggrieved too.

"Dad, it really wasn’t my fault."

"Still making excuses?"

"I really didn’t know why his combat skills were so good; when he struck, I had no strength to fight back."

"Hmph!" The old master snorted coldly, "I don’t want to hear your sophistries; the stuff I gave away for nothing, you must earn it back for me!"

"Ah?" Quan Sicheng looked at the old master in surprise, "How do you want me to earn it back?"

Quan Sicheng wasn’t very confident in his own business abilities.

Although he was now in charge of a company, well...

He hadn’t managed it personally.

He wasn’t very clear on what he could achieve.

The old man gave him a sideways glance and snorted coldly, "Do I need to teach you what to do?"

This...

Perhaps he really did need instruction.

But he dared not say it.

He could only weakly look at the old man.

The old man sighed and muttered that he had raised an ancestor for himself.

Yet he had no choice but to painstakingly explain his plan in detail to Quan Sicheng.

After listening, Quan Sicheng stared at him in shock, "Dad, do you really want to do this?"

The old master raised his eyebrows, "Why not?"

Quan Sicheng hesitated, "It’s just that the third brother is also your own flesh and blood..."

"Own flesh and blood?" The old master snorted disdainfully, "He may be my own flesh, but look, in what way has he shown me any respect as a father? Since he doesn’t care for me as a father, why should I show any mercy!"

Quan Sicheng looked at the old master’s iron-green face with alarm.

In this moment, even though everything the old master did was for his sake, he was still frightened.

Quan Jinbei was also the old master’s own son.

Today, the old man could give up Quan Jinbei for his sake.

In the future, he might well abandon him for other reasons.

Quan Sicheng had very complex thoughts, but he dared not show them on his face.

For fear that the old man would see through him.

The old master gave him a sideways glance, speaking in an unfriendly voice, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing... nothing," Quan Sicheng didn’t dare admit his own thoughts.

Who knows what the old master would do to him if he spoke out.

The old master snorted coldly, "Whatever you are thinking, starting from tomorrow, carry out the plan properly! Once it succeeds, the Quan Family will be yours!"

Quan Sicheng admitted, his shamefully excited heart stirred.

Even if it meant sacrificing Quan Jinbei, he was prepared to do it.

The old master saw the resolve and ruthlessness flicker in his eyes and finally nodded in satisfaction.

This was the attitude he wanted!

Too much weakness was not conducive to achieving great undertakings.

Although, what Quan Sicheng needed to achieve was simply to monopolize all the assets of the Quan Family...
