"After Grandpa adored you so much before and even gave you so many things, I can’t believe this is what you think of him!"
Quan Sicheng expressed his indignation.
Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue twice, "I won’t deny that I’m loved by everyone, and it’s normal for him to like , but..."
She paused, then showed a aningful expression.
"The old man gave those things, not because he liked , but because he felt guilty."
"Guilty?" Quan Sicheng frowned, "What does Grandpa have to feel guilty about? Don’t spout nonsense here."
Shi Yaoguang shook her head with a speechless look, "How am I spouting nonsense again?"
"What I’m saying is nothing but the truth."
Quan Sicheng wanted to argue, but...
Thinking carefully about what had happened that day, he indeed had nothing to refute.
After all, what Shi Yaoguang said was too reasonable.
Based on his understanding of the old man, he would never be so generous.
Not to ntion giving away all the items left by his deceased wife as a eting gift to this daughter-in-law.
If he did so, it was clearly under duress.
Perhaps, just as Shi Yaoguang said, the old Mr. Quan acted out of guilt.
As for what he felt guilty about, only he and Shi Yaoguang knew.
With that thought, his expression suddenly turned solemn.
How did Shi Yaoguang know about these things?
Grandpa hadn’t even told him, so how did Shi Yaoguang find out?
Could it be...
Did Shi Yaoguang know so other secret?
As he pondered, Quan Sicheng’s gaze at Shi Yaoguang beca more weighty.
"Don’t look at with those eyes."
Shi Yaoguang caressed her own cheek with a look of indulgence, "Anyone who doesn’t know better would think you’re so desperate that you want to do sothing to your mom right in front of your dad."
Quan Sicheng imdiately showed a look of disgust, "Don’t flatter yourself; I have absolutely no interest in you!"
Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "I don’t need your interest; what about it, have you made up your mind?"
Quan Sicheng was caught off guard by the sudden change in topic, "Made up my mind about what?"
"Have you decided what to choose yet?"
"Choose what..." Quan Sicheng began, then suddenly stopped short, "Are you talking about the family trial?"
"Mmm-hmm."
Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "What else did you think I was talking about?"
Quan Sicheng hesitated.
Shi Yaoguang clearly had ulterior motives.
If she brought up the family trial, she would definitely not let him easily gain the right of inheritance.
Participating in the family trial would hardly be any easier than competing with a bunch of brothers back ho.
But if he didn’t agree...
That seed to be not an option either.
Shi Yiqing desperately wanted this opportunity. If they missed out this ti, getting another chance would be difficult.
Seeing his indecisive deanor, Shi Yaoguang mockingly chid in at just the right mont, "Oh, is this what true love is? Your so-called true love is quite fragile, isn’t it?"
"For the sake of true love, you’re not even willing to make such a small sacrifice. Truly an eye-opener."
Quan Sicheng’s face darkened, but after so thought, he finally agreed.
"As long as Qingqing gets a chance, I’m willing to participate in the family trial."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang imdiately smiled.
"Very good."
She said to Quan Jinbei, "Husband, since I’m the one in charge now, how about you listen to regarding the arrangent of the family trial?"
Quan Jinbei nodded, "Fine."
His attitude, though distant, granted her the utmost authority.
Shi Yaoguang was very satisfied.
Quan Sicheng, however, was sowhat discontented, "Dad, don’t you think you’re being a bit hasty?"
"Do you have an issue with my decision?"
Quan Jinbei gave him a faint glance.
Quan Sicheng pouted, his tone full of accusation, "Even if I’m not your own flesh and blood, you can’t just treat like this, right? Knowing full well that I have a bad relationship with Shi Yaoguang, you still entrust her to arrange the family trial. What if she sets up?"
Shi Yaoguang covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha... Set you up? What a joke."
Quan Sicheng had a stern face, his tone icy, "I’m not joking."
"Huh? You’re not joking?" Shi Yaoguang tsked, "Well, that’s even worse. It just ans you’re a joke."
"A joke?"
Quan Sicheng, indignant, "Who knows what you’re thinking? You..."
Shi Yaoguang sighed as if helpless, "Don’t think everyone’s like you. I’m not as dirty as that."
"If it’s said to be a family trial, it’s definitely just that, with no other filthy dealings involved."
Quan Sicheng snorted, "Anyone can talk a good talk."
"As for you, you’re not even worthy of sweet-talking you."
Shi Yaoguang said this and took out her phone to make a call.
Quan Sicheng, listening to the content of the phone call, was sowhat incredulous.
"You called a lawyer?"
Shi Yaoguang nodded.
Quan Sicheng felt slightly dazed, "You really aren’t going to play any tricks?"
"Relax, I’m not like you," Shi Yaoguang shrugged, looking completely indifferent. "If I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn’t need to stoop to such tactics."
Quan Sicheng had beco accustod to her habit of putting him down.
By now, he was no longer angered by such words, as long as the family trial Shi Yaoguang ultimately arranged wasn’t too outrageous.
...
Seeing him watching her closely, Shi Yaoguang shrugged. "If you really don’t trust , you can follow while I draw up the plan."
Quan Sicheng was dubious, "Really?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Shi Yaoguang retorted.
Quan Sicheng fell silent.
Having learned from experience, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.
Quan Mansion.
Under pressure, Quan Sicheng followed her.
Shi Yaoguang didn’t avoid him and arranged everything directly in the living room on the first floor.
The family trial was a test of the younger generation by the family.
If one could pass it, they would obtain a certain right of inheritance.
The trial plan that Shi Yaoguang devised was still fairly standard.
Three years’ ti.
She would provide ten million in funds.
Ten million, it’s not a lot, but it’s not a little either.
If Quan Sicheng could take that ten million and achieve sothing, then he would have the potential to beco the company’s heir.
Otherwise...
The ten million Shi Yaoguang offered would be all he ended up with.
After much consideration, Quan Sicheng signed the agreent Shi Yaoguang handed over.
With her arms crossed, Shi Yaoguang asked, "You’re satisfied with my arrangent then?"
Quan Sicheng nodded reluctantly.
As long as he nodded, it was fine.
As for whether he was willing or not?
Shi Yaoguang didn’t care.
Once the agreent was signed, Shi Yaoguang was ready to see him out.
"Aren’t you leaving, or are you waiting for to invite you to stay for dinner?"
Quan Sicheng responded instinctively, "That’s right!"
"Oh, making progress, aren’t we?" Shi Yaoguang remarked, then called for the butler.
The butler quickly ca over, and Shi Yaoguang instructed, "The young master will stay for dinner today, prepare so more of the dishes Third Master likes."
Caught off guard, the butler imdiately responded with a chuckle, "Alright, madam. I’ll instruct the kitchen to prepare so more of the dishes you and Third Master enjoy."
