Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 388: Pawn of Fate (4)_1

"Youyou, you’re being so unfair. Don’t you have anything to say to me? I’ll be gone for two months, and by then, my skin might be peeling all over." Gui Mo’s peach-blossom eyes held a seductive glint as he gazed somewhat plaintively at Shangguan You."Haha, you’d better take care. If you get such a dark tan, I won’t recognize you."

"Youyou, you’ve really hurt my feelings! How could you say that?" Gui Mo cried out loudly in protest.

"Girl, remember to visit Brother Zhang Yuchen when you have time. And if you find any good stuff, don’t just think of Shangguan Qing; remember me too," Zhang Yuchen said with a smile. His gaze drifted as he looked at Shangguan You. The girl was seventeen this year and had blossomed into even greater beauty. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy she exuded held an inexplicable allure.

"Of course. Even if I forget Brother Zhang Yuchen, I won’t forget my dear Brother Qing."

The living room buzzed with lively conversation.

"Girl, how confident are you about the upcoming exam? Can you score the top rank?" Yu Zifeng asked, a twinkle in his phoenix eyes as he looked tenderly at Shangguan You.

"My exams? Naturally, I aim for a perfect score." Shangguan You looked curiously at Yu Zifeng, who was grinning like a fox. How well I score is my business. What’s with his expression?

"Girl, do you still remember our bet from before?" Yu Zifeng asked in a lower voice, whispering in her ear.

"Mhm." Shangguan You nodded. Hadn’t it been canceled already? Or had I been deceived? But how could Grandpa possibly trick me?

"Although becoming a live-in son-in-law might not sound very flattering, for your sake, girl, I can accept it. I’ll be waiting for you to graduate from college. While I’m not around, you must remember not to flirt with others or fall for anyone else. You need to keep yourself pure for me."

Yu Zifeng’s phoenix eyes gleamed as he spoke ambiguously, sounding more and more like a jilted husband with every word.

Shangguan You’s lips twitched violently. Is there some mistake? I have nothing to do with Yu Zifeng. What is all this about?

"Don’t you know? During the New Year, Grandpa and Uncle Shangguan Hao already settled the matter of our relationship. You are my fiancée, so, hehehe..."

Yu Zifeng watched her twitching lips, his smile growing more tender. "You must wait for me to return," he said. Then, with a great laugh, he left, got into his car, and it drove away. Even after the car was long gone, Shangguan You could still feel the knowing glances from Yu Zijin and the others, and the echo of Yu Zifeng’s fox-like laughter still seemed to hang in the air.

"Crazy," Shangguan You cursed quietly. When did Yu Zifeng, the Crown Prince of the Yu Family, become so narcissistic? And could it really be related to me? Shangguan You wondered, her head aching.

"Girl, my little brother isn’t here, but you’ve already been tagged by the Ye Family. Surely you wouldn’t want to make him a cuckold, would you?" A chill voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"None of your damn business!" Shangguan You retorted coldly. This Second Young Master of the Ye Family, using his connection as Third Young Master Ye’s brother, had the audacity to show up at her home so openly.

Hidden in the shadows, Ye Qiu gasped when he saw Shangguan You talk back to Second Young Master Ye. The Young Miss is truly formidable! She has apparently captivated both the Second and Third Young Masters!

"I’m just reminding you not to forget your place. The Ye Family isn’t somewhere just any woman can enter. You should cherish this opportunity." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"If it weren’t for Third Young Master Ye forcing it on me, do you think I’d want it? And if you’re so capable, try taking off this Blood Jade Bracelet. If you can do that, I’ll call you Big Brother," Shangguan You retorted coldly.

"I’m your Second Brother, not your Big Brother," Second Young Master Ye replied icily.

"Is there also an Eldest Young Master of the Ye Family?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, a puzzled expression on her face. The Second Young Master is an iceberg, and the Third Young Master a dangerous charmer; what would the Eldest Young Master be like? An ethereal, handsome immortal, detached from worldly affairs?

While indulging in these fantasies, Shangguan You looked at Second Young Master Ye with curiosity.

"If there’s a Second Young Master and a Third Young Master, of course, there’s an Eldest Young Master."

"Then is there a Fourth Young Master, or a Fifth Young Master?" Shangguan You asked playfully, noticing Second Young Master Ye’s expression stiffen for a moment.

"I have only one younger brother," Second Young Master Ye said coldly, before disappearing from her side.

"What a psycho. If you don’t want to say, then don’t," Shangguan You muttered under her breath, turning to Yu Zijin and Gui Luo, who were staring blankly at her.

"Youyou, you’re amazing! That guy is so stylish, so cool, so handsome!" Yu Zijin gushed, her eyes practically sparkling as she gazed at the departing figure of Second Young Master Ye.

"If he would just glance at me, I’d willingly do anything," Gui Luo blushed, then quickly averted her gaze as she remembered Shangguan Qing.

"He’s a millennia-old iceberg—extremely dangerous. Although he’s good-looking, it’s better to keep your distance. Let’s go. We should head back to school." Shangguan You pulled her two friends along, and they slowly walked towards the school.

After submitting her college preferences at school, Shangguan You informed Yu Zijin. Ignoring Li Meisu’s livid expression, she left the school and headed for the Shen Corporation. She also called her lawyer.

Now is the time to take back what belongs to me.

Gazing up at the towering skyscraper before her, Shangguan You’s eyes flickered for a moment. I’m finally returning to this place, openly and legitimately.

Taking a deep breath and flicking her ponytail, she walked into the Shen Corporation. From this day forward, I will once again be the master here. The Shen Corporation will return to my hands! This time, no one will snatch the Shen Corporation from me again! Regardless of whether the contract Ouyang Xuan signed was intentional or part of a conspiracy, I have to thank him for making it so easy for me to reclaim what is rightfully mine.

「Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of the Shen Corporation, a storm was raging.」

CRACK! With a sharp sound, Shen Qian’s beautiful face was fiercely struck, sending Wanqian stumbling to the ground.

Shen Cheng’s face was livid with rage. If Shen Congming and Duan Mei hadn’t been holding him back, he would have slapped her several more times.

"Shen Cheng, how can you treat me like this?" Wan’ao cried, covering her face as tears streamed down. She roared at Shen Cheng, "After everything I’ve done for you, how can you do this to me? How could you?"
