After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 738 Do you know how hard we’ve worked?

Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Do you know how hard we’ve worked?

Cheng Linye confidently expressed his own thoughts.

Put it another way.

This was his self-proclaimed flawless plan.

"As long as Bai Ruoxi becomes my woman, naturally, she’ll do whatever I tell her to," he said.

"By then, you won’t need to worry about her existence getting in the way of your relationship with Quan Jinbei at all."

After he spoke, he looked at Shi Yaoguang with a triumphant gaze, "How’s my plan?"

"It’s really..." Shi Yaoguang seemed to be weighing her words, considering how not to hurt his pride, but sadly...

She couldn’t find a way to preserve his self-esteem and said resignedly, "I’ll just speak frankly then."

Cheng Linye: "..."

Why did he feel that what she was about to say wouldn’t be what he wanted to hear?

As it turned out, he was right.

The words Shi Yaoguang said were indeed unpleasant.

"You’re dreaming if you think you can deceive Bai Ruoxi’s feelings," she said.

"You might not know, but Bai Ruoxi herself is a ’queen of the sea.’

When Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, Cheng Linye very naively asked, "What’s a ’queen of the sea’?"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

A look of disdain flew from her eyes, "You don’t even know this, and you want to seduce her?"

Cheng Linye: "..."

"It’s quite normal for me not to know these things."

In his earlier time, he had always been busy planning how to rise to power and how to take over the Cheng Family. After that, he had to think about how everything should develop, so he didn’t pay attention to these messy matters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to recognize the famous Shi Yaoguang.

He even began to suspect that his failure was because he didn’t recognize Shi Yaoguang.

Thinking of this, he felt suffocated.

After all, he was also a man who stood tall and proud.

And yet, he had been defeated by Shi Yaoguang’s hands.

If it was because a hero couldn’t overcome the barrier of a beauty, he would willingly lose to her.

But...

He didn’t think that way at all.

Women?

They would only slow down the speed at which he drew his sword!

He didn’t need women, he only wanted his career!

The pinnacle of his career!

Cheng Linye was filled with boundless pride and ambition.

Shi Yaoguang greatly admired this and immediately offered him a suggestion.

"Was what you said about helping me true? If so, I can give you a piece of advice for free," she said.

"Of course it’s true!" Cheng Linye replied, his expression curious again, "You say you want to help me, but how?"

Shi Yaoguang beckoned him with her finger, and Cheng Linye instinctively moved closer to her.

In that moment of approaching, he seemed to catch a faint scent.

He didn’t think much of it.

Women, after all, liked to spray on perfume.

It was probably just the scent of perfume.

The perfume Cheng Linye didn’t pay much attention to was not what he assumed, of course, but at that moment, he naively hadn’t realized it.

He was still waiting for Shi Yaoguang to help him reach the peak of his life.

Shi Yaoguang indeed planned to help him reach the peak, just that...

The process was different from what he had imagined.

"You must still hold a grudge against me for exposing your identity earlier, right?" Shi Yaoguang brought up the subject with a somewhat helpless tone, "Actually, it wasn’t intentional. Who would blame you when your existence itself is simply illogical?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Linye immediately exploded, "What do you mean our existence is illogical?"

"Do you know how hard we’ve worked?"

Speaking of this, he felt a deep sense of grievance, "You have no idea!"

"You have no idea at all, how much blood and tears we, all these people, have shed to become what we are now, to better fit the persona of illegitimate children that we need to play!"

Shi Yaoguang wore an expression of agreement, "Of course, I know it’s not easy for you, which is why I’ve come up with a plan, haven’t I?"

"What plan?" Cheng Linye became instantly interested.

He and those illegitimate children who stuck together with him had all gone through skin-stripping and bone-tearing experiences.

They had endured all this pain, so there must be a bright future awaiting them.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all the pain they’ve endured be wasted in vain?

This was not the outcome they wanted to see.

Shi Yaoguang wore an understanding look, "Don’t worry, as long as you do as I say, you will definitely be able to fulfill your dream."

"My dream?" Cheng Linye’s eyes flickered, "Do you know what my dream is?"

"Of course," Shi Yaoguang boasted without shame, "Your dream, I’ve figured it out a long time ago."

"So you still say you want to help me..."

Shi Yaoguang wore a look of avoiding the subject, "Actually, I’ve had such a thought for a long time, but there was never a suitable opportunity before, fortuitously, someone with fighting spirit like you appeared..."

Shi Yaoguang did not continue from there.

The implication had been sufficient.

As expected, Cheng Linye made assumptions on his own, filling in what Shi Yaoguang had left unsaid.

Whether this was what Shi Yaoguang wanted to say, that was not certain.

Quan Jinbei came out of the shadows after she had coaxed Cheng Linye away.

"You want him to do something for you?"

Shi Yaoguang spread her hands, wearing an innocent expression, "How can this be called having him do something for me? This is what he wants to do by himself, it’s tough to have such a patriotic heart."

Luckily, Cheng Linye didn’t hear these words, otherwise, he would have begun to doubt Shi Yaoguang’s intentions.

Speaking of which, Shi Yaoguang certainly had intentions.

Her purpose...

Of course, was to make use of waste.

Since people like Cheng Linye had been created, it wasn’t reasonable to just eliminate them directly, after all, they were human beings.

But...

While elimination was not an option, repurposing them was more than sufficient.

He wants to be above ten thousand people, right?

That’s possible.

However, opportunities come with risks.

As long as he can seize the chance, climbing up is not an issue.

With such a legitimate opportunity to climb up, why act like a rat in a sewer, using schemes?

Luckily, Cheng Linye did not have mind-reading abilities.

Luckily, he was a bit dense and hadn’t yet realized Shi Yaoguang’s intentions.

Otherwise...

He might have spat out a mouthful of blood and then confronted Shi Yaoguang for a showdown.

Alright then.

A confrontation was out of the question; with his capabilities, he was at best delivering himself up on a platter.

Long, long after, the pitiful gray lad finally realized that dancing with wolves wasn’t as glorious as he had imagined. Right from the start, he had been a lamb to the slaughter.

Of course, all of that was yet to come.

The current Cheng Linye was quite satisfied with the advice Shi Yaoguang had given him and had no idea he had already been won over by Shi Yaoguang in a veiled manner.

Upon learning of Shi Yaoguang’s schemes, Quan Jinbei had nothing to say other than praising his impressive wife, what else could he say?

To put it in a way that may invite disdain, he was quite curious to know just how colorful the expressions of Cheng Linye and the others would be upon learning they had been won over.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at his gloating expression and elegantly rolled her eyes, "Third Master seems to find watching the drama quite interesting."

"I’m not interested in watching the show," Quan Jinbei said, taking her hand, "I’m interested in the great drama directed by you..."
