Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Surprised? Unexpected?"I’m not exactly thrilled about you hiding my photos, huh." Shi Yaoguang said, her fingertips gently tapped, and she successfully opened the encrypted album on Quan Sicheng’s phone. Her voice was totally disinterested as she exclaimed, "Oh my, what’s this?" "This looks like..." She covered her mouth, her face a picture of disbelief, "My photo, how could it be on your phone? You actually took candid shots of me?" Quan Sicheng had been full of confidence. He prided himself on his integrity, believing he would never stoop to taking surreptitious photos. However, upon seeing Shi Yaoguang’s expression, he suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore. And Shi Yaoguang was still questioning, "Did you get someone to take candid photos of me?" "No... I didn’t." Quan Sicheng quickly shook his head. Shi Yaoguang flipped over the phone, "You say you didn’t take them, then take a look for yourself, what’s this?" The screen displayed Quan Sicheng’s encrypted album. And the photo she revealed was one from the album. From the angle, it was clearly taken in secret. In the photo, Shi Yaoguang was dressed in a bright red evening gown, holding a wine glass, her smile elegant and poised. Shi Yaoguang remembered that she had worn this dress to the Xiao Family’s birthday banquet, and upon looking at Quan Sicheng again, her eyes held an added weight of oppression. "Didn’t you claim, with full assurance, that you don’t care to infringe on my portrait rights? Well, I’d like to ask, what’s the deal with these photos?" That’s right. She said "these," not "this." Because in the encrypted album, there were quite a few more photos of Shi Yaoguang. And these photos were not taken on the same day. If there was only one, it could be said to be an accidental save, but having saved an entire album... It really makes one curious. Quan Sicheng hadn’t expected that Shi Yaoguang would be able to crack his album password directly. Now with the incriminating evidence in her hands, a cold sweat broke out on Quan Sicheng’s forehead. He didn’t know how to explain himself. Or rather... He didn’t think any explanation would help. If explanations were useful, the world would have eighty percent fewer conflicts. "I didn’t take those photos of you on purpose," Quan Sicheng said defiantly, his voice finally revealing, "All of these were accidents." This time, Quan Jinbei coldly interjected without the need for Shi Yaoguang to say anything, "Accidents? One time could be an accident. Are you saying they’re accidents every time? Or has your phone become sentient, automatically saving photos of your mother?" "I..." Quan Sicheng opened his mouth as if to explain something but ultimately fell silent, his head bowed. It was as if he were a pig not scared of scalding water. Watching him like this, Quan Jinbei huffed, "You’d better give me a reasonable explanation before I take it upon myself to investigate." Bowing his head, Quan Sicheng silently responded, "I understand." ... Shi Yiqing couldn’t hear what Quan Sicheng and the people in the car were saying; she could only guess from Quan Sicheng’s facial expressions. Seeing that Quan Sicheng had no conflict with Shi Yaoguang, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Why isn’t there any sign of trouble? Could it be that... Dreadful thoughts unavoidably sprang to Shi Yiqing’s mind. When Quan Sicheng had gone over, Shi Yaoguang was doing that sort of thing with her pretty boy toy. Her disheveled appearance was seen by Quan Sicheng. And then... Quan Sicheng did something to her... Just thinking about this possibility, she was frightened. No, no. She absolutely couldn’t let that bitch Shi Yaoguang steal her man away! Shi Yiqing felt anxious in her heart and thus she desperately broke through the defense lines. Ming Yan was only symbolically blocking her. Seeing her go past, he too followed out of curiosity. "Brother Sicheng, why have you been gone for such a long time..." Shi Yiqing called Quan Sicheng’s name, approaching him. Before she could finish speaking, she met Shi Yaoguang’s mocking gaze. "What’s the matter?" Shi Yaoguang smiled as she looked at her, "Is it a big surprise? Quite unexpected?" After seeing what Shi Yaoguang’s so-called "Little White Face" looked like, Shi Yiqing felt... life was so dull. A surprise? Not at all. Unexpected? Heh. In her mind, Shi Yiqing ran An Siqi through the ringer over and over. She truly despised An Siqi. If it weren’t for her saying that Shi Yaoguang brought her "Little White Face" out, she and Quan Sicheng wouldn’t have had such a tense rush over here. And now, great, she was still holding a camera in her hands. Shi Yaoguang couldn’t possibly not know what she wanted to do; maybe she could even take this chance to clear her own name. As expected. No sooner had Shi Yiqing finished thinking than Shi Yaoguang began to speak. "Hubby, you saw it too, today’s scene was absolutely terrifying," she said as she threw herself into Quan Jinbei’s arms, her tone full of grievance, "Tell me, how could they do this? It’s too much, I’ve never seen them like this before!" "Especially him!" Pointing at Quan Sicheng, she began to accuse, "Tell me, do you even consider me your mother at all?" "I..." Quan Sicheng opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, he was interrupted. "I don’t want to hear your excuses!" Shi Yaoguang said, taking out her mobile phone and pointing at her own photo on the screen, "No matter how eloquent you are, I will never believe you." With that, she made a disgusted expression, "I have never seen you like this, you really disgust me." Shi Yiqing couldn’t bear to listen any longer, "On what grounds do you speak of my Brother Sicheng that way?" "I can’t say it?" Shi Yaoguang pointed to the phone in her hand, "He secretly photographed me, leered at me, and I’m not allowed to speak up?" Shi Yiqing instinctively retorted, "Secretly photographed you? How could that be?" "What’s so impossible about that?" Shi Yaoguang let her see clearly whose phone it was, "If this phone isn’t mine and I haven’t taken these photos, are you going to defend him by saying I’m framing and setting him up on purpose?" "Framing and setting up? Why would I even need to do that?" Shi Yaoguang said, wrapping her arm around Quan Jinbei, her voice dripping with sweetness, "I have a husband who loves and adores me, and a lovely baby in my belly, the three of us are living in bliss. Tell me, why would I do something thankless like that?" "Besides..." Shi Yaoguang threw the phone back to Quan Sicheng, "When I was using the phone just now, my husband was also watching. Why would I purposely set a trap in front of him, to make it seem his son was interested in me?" Quan Sicheng’s complexion turned from pale to green and back again. Initially, Shi Yiqing did not believe a word Shi Yaoguang said. Even, she thought Shi Yaoguang deliberately said those things, wanting to flaunt them to her. But... Quan Sicheng’s expression offered her another answer. He was telling her that what Shi Yaoguang said was true. She was serious! Thinking of this, Shi Yiqing’s face started to look ugly. "Brother Sicheng, what’s going on?" Her tone of inquiry was tinged with difficulty. She couldn’t bring herself to believe that Quan Sicheng could actually do such a thing. Quan Sicheng opened his mouth, "I..."
