CHAPTER 964: CHAPTER 964: MAKE SHI YAOGUANG KNEEL AND APOLOGIZE?

"As a public figure, the most important role you should play is to set a positive example. And you? Despite having wealth like gold and silver, you don’t even want to acknowledge your own biological parents. With a person like you, does it matter how much you have?"

"It’s meaningless!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "You’re right."

The man continued to chatter on, but seeing that she didn’t show any sign of anger, he found it a little dull.

Arguments, arguments, they’re only arguments when both sides are engaged.

Just him alone, what’s the point?

"Are you feeling guilty?"

He looked smug, "You’re so guilty you can’t even speak, right? I knew it would be like this, haha."

Shi Yaoguang still did not refute him.

This made him even more complacent, even feeling as if he was the master of everything.

Immediately, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted towards Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan, "Big brother, big sister, come over here!"

Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan were being called "big brother" and "big sister" in this down-to-earth manner for the first time.

Neither of them reacted for a moment.

It was only after the man impatiently urged them that they finally came back to their senses from the "change" in their identity and walked towards Shi Yaoguang.

When they reached her, Shi Yaoguang still didn’t seem to have any intention of greeting them.

This made the man dissatisfied; he immediately began pointing fingers at her, speaking to Shi Yaoguang with displeasure, "Don’t you see your parents? They’re standing right in front of you, and you won’t even greet them?"

Shi Yaoguang’s gaze fell on him, as calm as a pool of still water, yet seemingly as deep as the twenty thousand leagues under the sea, giving him an inexplicable shiver.

But soon, he reacted.

Shi Yaoguang was just a woman after all.

A cold and indifferent woman!

She was willing to even acknowledge her parents; such a woman deserved to be abandoned by everyone.

He was only doing what everyone wanted to do.

The man thought, full of confidence, saying to Shi Yaoguang, "No matter what, not acknowledging parents is wrong. I’ll give you a chance now, apologize to your parents!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a half-smile, "Why should I apologize?"

"Apologize as you’re told, why so many ’whys’?"

He said, rolling his eyes towards Shi Kanshan, "Big brother, are you even a man anymore? How can you not even manage your own daughter?"

"It’s said ’a filial child comes from a strict upbringing’, your daughter is disobedient because you haven’t disciplined her! Listen to me, the best way to teach children is to give them a beating, only then will they know their place, understand?"

Shi Kanshan’s mouth twitched, but inwardly he cursed the man inside and out.

A meddlesome fool.

With so many people present, why was he the only one to jump out, didn’t he have any self-awareness?

If Shi Yaoguang were truly at fault, the voices of condemnation would have already arisen!

The reason no one has said anything is because back then, the Shi Family didn’t handle matters well.

If the same things happened to a more sensitive or fragile girl, she might have committed suicide long ago.

In a way, the Shi Family hadn’t really given Shi Yaoguang anything over the years.

Not to mention giving, they even exploited her.

Unbeknownst to them, they took away Shi Yaoguang’s longing for paternal and maternal love, and even her dignity and confidence, allowing their adopted daughter to deliberately suppress their biological daughter...

They made too many mistakes, if you were to count them, it would be endless.

In such circumstances, they themselves didn’t have the face to demand any explanation from Shi Yaoguang.

After all, they still had this small sense of awareness.

But this man, out of nowhere, thought he could act as their spokesperson with such confidence.

"Big brother, don’t be afraid! We’re all here watching, she was wrong, she was wrong! Even with so many misunderstandings, they are just misunderstandings. We’re one family, what can’t be overcome?"

He said, commanding Shi Yaoguang, "Today, I’m taking the lead, obediently apologize to your parents, and don’t talk about severing family ties in the future, live life well!"

Once the man finished speaking, everyone present looked at him with the eyes of a warrior.

They never expected this fool to be so bold.

What they say is true, the brave are full while the timid starve, right?

When cowardly people are hesitating back and forth, the bold have already charged into the frontline.

By the time the follow-up troops arrived, they’d finished eating not just the first crab, but the whole first batch of crabs.

With this in mind, people’s gaze at him turned more reverential.

No.

"Reverential" isn’t quite accurate either.

Perhaps "admiration" is more fitting.

Admiring his guts to speak nonsense.

Truly an extraordinary forcefulness.

The man was oblivious.

Having finished his speech, he started strutting around.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat, found a higher place to stand, and started directing.

He even designated a spot and told Shi Yaoguang to kneel.

"Right there, kneel down and confess to your parents. When they forgive you, you can stand up."

These words left everyone else astonished.

This...

This is too harsh, isn’t it?

At that moment, they suddenly understood what it meant for a barefoot person to be unafraid of wearing shoes.

The man was the real-life example.

The man’s willingness to direct didn’t mean Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan were willing to bear his "goodwill".

This couple hadn’t forgotten how they treated Shi Yaoguang back then.

Initially, their hearts were full of resentment towards Shi Yaoguang.

After all, she’s their own daughter, how could she show no understanding?

Her biological parents couldn’t understand her either; what kind of future could someone like this have?

And then...

They were slapped in the face by this daughter who wouldn’t understand her biological parents.

They watched this daughter become more and more outstanding, standing far away beyond what they could reach.

From initial indifference, to later envy and jealousy, now they were full of regret.

If they had been a little clearer back then, and not distanced themselves from this daughter, it would have been fine.

But now thinking about these things was futile.

Shi Kanshan suppressed his emotions and awkwardly said to Shi Yaoguang, "Yao... Yaoguang, this isn’t what we want. In the past, it was us who wronged you, we know we were wrong."

"It’s because we were unfit parents that you were wronged for nothing..."

The man’s directing was meant to earn admiration from the crowd and gratitude from Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan.

Unexpectedly, despite setting the stage, Shi Kanshan was so weak, turning around and apologized to Shi Yaoguang?
