After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 840: That’s Not Called an Unhappy Childhood

Shi Yaoguang said she wanted Song Jinghuan to experience it, and she wasn’t joking.

This world used to operate based on a romance-oriented mindset.

She didn’t need to do much. She just needed to let Song Jinghuan use the instrument he created and experience Quan Jinbei’s life once, and he would realize how naive his previous thoughts were.

...

Chen Shu was a bit dumbfounded seeing Song Jinghuan being arranged so clearly by Shi Yaoguang.

"Little sister-in-law, are you just letting him off like this?"

Facing his incredulous gaze, Shi Yaoguang retorted, "Isn’t that okay?"

"It’s okay, but..." Chen Shu thought this was too lenient on him.

Shi Yaoguang knew what he was thinking, "Do you think it’s too easy to let him off like this?"

"Uh-huh." Chen Shu nodded vigorously.

That’s exactly what he thought.

Quan Jinbei glanced at him and explained, "Didn’t you once say that to punish someone, you have to destroy what they care about the most?"

Chen Shu suddenly realized, "Oh, Brother Jin, you mean—"

At first, he responded instinctively, but then looked at Quan Jinbei incredulously, "No way, Brother Jin, you mean what he cares about the most is this?"

Quan Jinbei nodded.

He thought the same as Shi Yaoguang.

Song Jinghuan had an unfortunate childhood, or rather, his appearance might have been less than desirable when he was young.

He might even have been less attractive compared to most average people.

But so what?

An unfortunate childhood isn’t an excuse for anyone to become a perpetrator.

Yes.

He did have an unfortunate childhood.

But what wrong did Quan Jinbei do?

Was it Quan Jinbei’s fault that he was good-looking?

Did Quan Jinbei ever intentionally use his looks to mock and belittle the unattractive Song Jinghuan?

No!

Since he never did that, then what right does Song Jinghuan have to blame his past mistakes on Quan Jinbei?

What does this have to do with him?

In Shi Yaoguang’s view, that wasn’t an unfortunate childhood.

He was simply jealous.

Jealous to the point of pathological distortion.

Since he wanted so much to compare himself to Quan Jinbei, then fulfill his wish.

Only by letting him clearly realize how wrong and naive his thoughts were will he understand the difference between reality and fantasy.

At that time, he might repent.

Of course, he might not.

But none of that mattered; a collapsed belief system is the biggest blow to a person.

It would take some time for Song Jinghuan to experience Quan Jinbei’s past life.

Shi Yaoguang and the others naturally wouldn’t stay here waiting for him.

Quan Jinbei got someone to watch over Song Jinghuan, and the group went to the Quan Family.

For the past six months, the Quan Family had been managed with the help of Chen Shu and Jiu Yanchuan.

Of course, they didn’t need to do anything too complex.

In fact, an inherently strong and potential-filled company can operate stably even without its top decision-makers for a year or more.

If everything needed to be handled by Quan Jinbei, the Quan Family wouldn’t have come this far.

The Quan Family.

As soon as they stepped into the company, they saw Zhou Yunhe resting in the lounge area.

Zhou Yunhe was dressed in a sapphire blue suit, looking refined and courteous, like a young nobleman from the last century.

Shi Yaoguang was momentarily stunned upon seeing him.

One must know, the last time they met, he was still just a homeless man.

At that time, and now...

If it weren’t certain they were the same person, no one would make the connection.

As soon as Zhou Yunhe saw her, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked briskly towards her.

Chen Shu, seeing this, couldn’t help but purse his lips, "Why do you keep haunting us?"

Previously, he hung up on him, but now he’s come directly.

If he were so persistent in business, he’d have been rich by now.

Chen Shu had just thought of this when he remembered that Zhou’s enterprise is now firmly first-tier.

Sigh, comparing oneself to others is infuriating.

While he was mentally complaining, he looked at Zhou Yunhe with a bit of scrutiny.

This guy’s spirit of never giving up was unusually high.

Could it be that he actually had feelings for the little sister-in-law?

As Chen Shu’s thoughts wandered, Zhou Yunhe had already reached Shi Yaoguang.

He solemnly bowed to her, his attitude as respectful as can be.

Chen Shu: "..."

Misjudged.

Zhou Yunhe expressed his attitude to Shi Yaoguang, "Miss Shi, I came specifically to thank you today."

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have achieved today’s success."

These words have two layers of meaning.

One layer is its surface meaning.

He is genuinely grateful to Shi Yaoguang; if she hadn’t given him the opportunity, he might still be a homeless man now.

The other layer means the opposite.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang, he wouldn’t have come this far.

Previously, Chen Shu suspected Zhou Yunhe might be selling his body.

He wasn’t.

But he did indeed sell his body.

Shi Yaoguang naturally understood these two meanings but was too lazy to interpret them.

When she first approached Zhou Yunhe, she had already told him what the situation was. If he still harbored resentment towards her for that...

Well, she wasn’t made of mud either.

But clearly, Zhou Yunhe genuinely meant only the surface meaning.

He took out a small box from his pocket.

He opened the box, revealing a transparent test tube inside.

"What’s this?"

"This is Fan Yanshu’s blood."

Zhou Yunhe pursed his lips, his eyes cold, "Miss Shi, you should know Fan Yanshu’s situation best. I think you might need this."

Fan Yanshu carried the system.

Zhou Yunhe’s current appearance clearly showed he had completely subdued Fan Yanshu.

Thinking of this, she happily accepted the gift he offered, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou."

"No need to be polite."

Zhou Yunhe didn’t stay long and left after a few words of pleasantries.

Chen Shu was left dumbfounded, "He just left?"

"What else did you expect him to do?" Shi Yaoguang asked, shaking the red liquid in the test tube.

Chen Shu thought for a moment and sighed, "He was always chasing after me relentlessly; I thought he..."

Before he could finish, Ye Nuannuan caught the loophole in his words, "He was always chasing after you relentlessly; that’s the real point, right?"

"Chen Shu, Chen Shu, tell me, if he stops looking for you, wouldn’t you feel uneasy?"

Chen Shu glared at her, "What nonsense are you spouting? If you keep talking rubbish, I’ll tell on you to Old Jiu!"

"Then go ahead. I’d like to know whether he stands on your side or mine."

Ye Nuannuan sighed softly, "Seeing you like this, it makes me realize how hard it is to find a girlfriend. If he’d rather help you than me, I can only leave him single forever."

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh seeing the two bicker.

They really were each other’s nemesis, and Jiu Yanchuan, stuck in the middle, must have had a tough time.
