CHAPTER 963: CHAPTER 963: ARE YOUR PARENTS MATCH SELLERS?

"I heard there might be some danger here, so I came to take a look."

After Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, a startled cry was heard.

Everyone turned towards the direction of the voice and saw the person who exclaimed pointing in a particular direction.

"Isn’t that Mr. Shi?"

This Mr. Shi obviously referred to Shi Kanshan.

Those who knew Shi Yaoguang’s name naturally knew a bit about Shi Kanshan too.

"Mr. Shi? Which Mr. Shi?"

"Isn’t he Miss Shi’s father?"

"Wasn’t it said that Miss Shi has already severed ties with the Shi Family?"

Most people had heard some gossip about this and could naturally come up with a few points of discussion.

Some, who were out of the loop, curiously asked, "What severing ties?"

"Don’t you know? Miss Shi has severed ties with her biological parents."

"No, that can’t be, right?" The person asking was very skeptical, "There are so many rumors now, maybe you got some fake news."

"How’s that possible!"

The person speaking proudly patted their chest, "I guarantee you, it’s absolutely true! Miss Shi admitted it publicly, she has nothing to do with the Shi Family anymore, even if they are her biological parents, what of it? Aren’t they still like strangers now?"

"After all, they are biological parents, blood ties are paramount, what can’t be resolved? No need to make it so rigid..."

"Shh!" The person beside the speaker made a silencing gesture immediately, "Don’t say that recklessly."

The person was unconvinced, "Why can’t I say it?"

He glanced at Shi Yaoguang, and not only did he refuse to be silent, but he raised his voice, "They are family, why not just talk it out? Why make everyone unhappy?"

"There’s no such thing as perfect parents, which parents don’t want their children to succeed?" He said, giving Shi Yaoguang a critical look, "She looks decent, but who would think she’s someone who wouldn’t even acknowledge her own parents, what a scum! I just thought she was a nice person."

Shi Yaoguang heard this but had no intention of entertaining him.

There are always some average people in this world.

It’s impossible to debate with each one, after all, summer insects can’t discuss ice.

Talking to someone whose mind is only focused on shallow ideas is futile.

Perhaps they would even think you’re a stubborn fool.

Shi Yaoguang gracefully chose not to bother with him, but the person acted as if he received some kind of approval and immediately shook his head in pride.

He raised his middle finger at Shi Yaoguang, "People like you don’t deserve any gratitude! You don’t even want your own parents, how are you different from an animal? What a trash..."

"Bang—"

He had just finished speaking when a gust of air hurled him against the wall.

For a moment, he thought he was about to die.

But he couldn’t die.

He was still young, he still needed to control his destiny, how could he die!

He couldn’t die!

The man struggled to stand, looking stubbornly at Shi Yaoguang, his tone filled with immense resentment, "I just told a few truths, and you couldn’t take it? Do you think that killing me will silence the public?"

"Let me tell you, that’s impossible!"

He said with confidence, "There are many people in this world who think like me, you might shut me up, but you can’t silence everyone else!"

"If you have the ability, kill all of us, or I am still a beast!"

Shi Yaoguang originally didn’t want to deal with such a person.

It would lower her status.

But the other person insisted on coming to her.

This made her very impatient. She walked up to him in a few steps, looking down at him with cold eyes devoid of warmth.

"Do you think you’re very impressive?"

The man snorted coldly, "Of course, I’m impressive!"

He said, looking around the people with contempt and disdain, "What they don’t dare to say, I dare to say."

"What they don’t dare to do, I dare to do!"

He said, again in a disdainful tone, "No matter how great you are, you were still born by your parents! If they hadn’t raised you, do you think you could have become what you are today?"

"Not kneeling in gratitude before them is one thing, but completely disregarding them, treating them like strangers, and severing ties with them completely! Do you know, even animals do better than you!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at him, and slowly smiled.

"You seem to know a lot about human nature."

The man looked proud, "Of course, I’m more knowledgeable about human nature than you."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "In that case, I’d like to know how you treat your parents? Have you ever knelt before them in respect? Do you think about them all the time? Have you worried about their meals?"

As Shi Yaoguang posed these questions, the man’s expression changed, but he still said defiantly, "Of course I have! Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you? Let me tell you, that’s not true!"

He spoke proudly, "I personally take care of my parents, they live well! They have new clothes every day, and each meal includes chicken, duck, and fish, they can have whatever they want..."

"Pfft." Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh, "They can have whatever they want, are they selling matches?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he realized what Shi Yaoguang meant, and his face turned green.

"What nonsense are you talking? My parents wouldn’t sell matches!"

"Oh, they don’t?" Shi Yaoguang was slightly surprised, "I thought only those who sell matches could weave such beautiful dreams. Since they don’t, then may I ask what they do?"

The man felt humiliated, "Do you think I’m lying? Let me tell you, I’m not! My parents have a good life, something a cold-blooded, selfish person like you won’t understand."

Shi Yaoguang nodded understandingly, "I understand your attitude, but can you answer my question directly?"

"I can, why wouldn’t I?"

He snorted, proudly said, "Since you’re begging to know, I’ll graciously tell you!"

"My parents don’t need to do anything, they can enjoy life just lying around."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang understood, "So, they don’t need to work."

"Exactly!" He said, looking at Shi Yaoguang with satisfaction, "Now you see how impressive I am, right? They don’t have to do anything and live well, and you? What benefits can you give your parents?"

Shi Yaoguang: "I can’t give them any benefits."

The man immediately showed disdain, "For all that you’re a big shot known by everyone, in the end, you’re not even as good as a nobody like me!"

"No, you’re too modest." Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "You’re not just a nobody, you... deserve special attention."

The man was momentarily dazzled by her smile, quickly realizing his attitude was wrong, immediately straightened his face, and snorted coldly, "Don’t think that I’ll go easy on you because of what you said, I’m telling you, that’s impossible!"
