His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 240

Yang Chifeng smiled out calmly, “What has this got to do with her?”

Shi Guang really felt that this was a disgusting person from the bottom of her heart. He was telling another woman that he wanted to court her despite having a girlfriend? How shameless must one be to do something like that?

Roughly guessing what Shi Guang was thinking about, Yang Chifeng explained, “She is not my girlfriend, hence I have the rights to court you. Shi Guang, I really like you a lot. No, I love you a lot. Be with me… I’ll definitely treat you well.”

Shi Guang’s cold expression did not change in the slightest bit. “I think I’ve already rejected you pretty clearly by now. Your love isn’t something I can afford.”

“You must think that I’m just playing. No, that’s not the case. I don’t intend to play around. I really wish to be in a proper relationship with you. We’ll start with having meals and movies before meeting our parents, forming a family, having babies together, and leaning on one another for support.”

Shi Guang rejected him instantly. “Impossible!”

Yang Chifeng pushed his spectacles up. “Is it because I’m Sitong’s brother that you find it hard to trust me?”

Shi Guang nodded her head immediately. “Yes. It’s exactly because you are Yang Sitong’s brother that even if you are serious about it, I will never be together with you! I won’t even think twice about it!”

Understanding her words, he asked in a somewhat hurt manner, “Why? Don’t you think that that’s really unfair to me?”

Shi Guang smiled out ironically.

“In this world, life is never fair from the moment you are born. Survival of the fittest is the rule of the world since the very beginning of life. As an intelligent lifeform, humans have displayed their extensive knowledge of that rule to their strongest capabilities. That’s the reason why some people spend their entire lifetimes in the mountains without ever knowing the taste of delicacies such as bird’s nest and shark’s fins while some people are born in noble and aristocratic families to live a smooth sailing life of bullying others without having to take any responsibility, even if their victims were to die. Yet, they could still continue to enjoy the pleasures and wonders the world has to offer!”

Yang Chifeng listened to her silently, merely feeling that her words sounded nothing but ridiculous, even having a trace of hatred hidden within it.

But why was there hatred?

He presumed that it should be because of Lu Yanchen and Yang Sitong.

“Is Lu Yanchen really that good? Would you still love him the same if his surname wasn’t Lu?”

“Whether or not I love him is none of your business. But, I can be sure that I will never love you.”

She had said all she needed to. Feeing that there was no need to waste any more time, Shi Guang turned around to leave.

…

Yang Chifeng sat in his own office and lit a cigarette. The white smoke rose gradually before swivelling into a thin mist around his face, covering that deep gaze and frown of his. Before long, his assistant entered the office and placed a pile of documents before him. “Mr Yang, this is the information that you had requested.”

Yang Chifeng stubbed his cigarette and spread the documents open.

“Shi Guang… Her parents had passed away when she was 14. Her sister had turned into a vegetable and has been lying in the hospital all these years while she grew up at her auntie’s place…”

All the following details were concerning her auntie’s family.

Her auntie was a typically office worker while her uncle was a teacher. She had a male younger cousin and a female older cousin who was studying abroad right now.

Hold on… Her high school was in the city!

Wasn’t that the same city where Lu Yanchen had attended university?

Did both of them know one another in the past?

Yang Chifeng said to his assistant right away, “Hurry and go get someone to investigate on her time back in high school.”

He added after a brief moment, “Make sure to check if she has any connections with Lu Yanchen.”
