Under Shi Yaoguang's relentless pestering and coercion, the Quan patriarch reluctantly gave away one-fifth of his personal treasury.
It wasn't that he was particularly generous, but rather that Shi Yaoguang was ridiculously outrageous.
In front of the elderly gentleman, she bluntly threatened that if he didn't give Shi Yaoguang an adequate "meeting gift", she would immediately publicize the matter.
The Quan patriarch had lived a long life with an always positive public image.
Even to describe him as a person of high moral standing and prestige would not be an overstatement.
Now, to see his reputation about to be ruined by Shi Yaoguang, how could he be willing to accept that?
Consequently, as much as he hated it, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and agree.
Shi Yaoguang's trip was hugely successful, and she exuded a joyous radiance from head to toe.
Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing were green with envy at the sight.
