Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 393 Antagonism 2(3)_1

"Wanqian, Shen Cheng is young and thoughtless. He’ll realize his mistake sooner or later. Sit down and have some dinner. When he comes back, I’ll speak to him," Shen Congming said. He watched Shen Cheng leave, then glanced at Wanqian’s belly—which held his grandchild—and reached out to help her."No need," Wanqian replied, coldly stepping aside. She shot them a frigid look before turning and walking away. As she disappeared into the dark night, the sound of a car engine starting echoed; she was driving away from the Shen Mansion.

"Oh, these two children," Duan Mei sighed deeply as she watched them leave one after the other. How could a once-happy family fall apart like this over a child?

Shen Cheng refused to acknowledge the child, while Wanqian insisted it was his. He had even framed her for the sake of his mistress.

"Mommy, do you think the child in Wanqian’s belly is really Brother Shen Cheng’s?" Shen Jia asked. She watched the two leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Those two are really scary. Who knows? If it really was Shen Cheng’s, how could he possibly deny it? Maybe the child really isn’t his; otherwise, why would he treat Wanqian like that?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t you trust Wanqian’s character? She’s devoted to Shen Cheng; how could she possibly betray him? Alright, let’s eat," Shen Congming interjected coldly, cutting off the mother-daughter conversation.

"However, Daddy," Shen Jia then asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice, "in the video we saw today, didn’t you think the man’s back looked familiar?"

"Nonsense! Shen Cheng is thoughtless enough; must you add to the chaos?" Shen Congming slammed his chopsticks on the table, shouting angrily at Shen Jia.

"Mommy, I was just saying," Shen Jia mumbled to Duan Mei.

"Alright, Jiajia is just trying to help the family. What’s there to be angry about?" Duan Mei said, glancing at Shen Congming. "Besides, true or false, it’s Shen Cheng’s business. He’s a grown man; he can handle it himself. Why are you so upset?" It’s strange, she thought. They never used to interfere in Shen Cheng’s affairs.

"They’re already fighting. If Shen Cheng hears this, won’t it make him even more determined to have his way? If you don’t understand, then speak less in the future," Shen Congming said coldly. He didn’t even eat and went straight upstairs.

Shen Jia stared at his retreating figure, her expression dazed. Daddy actually scolded me, she thought.

"Alright, Jiajia, eat up," Duan Mei comforted Shen Jia, her gaze on Shen Congming’s back still puzzled. Why was he so angry today? And he seemed somewhat different towards Wanqian.

In the shadows, Shangguan You watched the unfolding drama with a cold gaze, feeling a slight twinge of regret in her heart.

"Why are you so focused on them?" Second Young Master Ye asked, standing coldly beside her, somewhat puzzled by her unusual excitement.

"Seeing others suffer misfortune naturally makes me happy," Shangguan You said with a smile. She couldn’t very well tell him she was delighted to see her enemies turn on each other, could she?

"HMPH," Second Young Master Ye snorted, clearly not believing her.

"Let’s go watch the next act. It’s a pity we won’t see such a good show the day after tomorrow," Shangguan You murmured. She had to go to the Hidden World Village the day after tomorrow and wouldn’t be able to see the upcoming drama. I must watch to my heart’s content tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll have many things to prepare and no time for this.

"HMPH," Second Young Master Ye snorted again. "Aren’t you waiting for the young master?"

"Why should I wait for him?" Shangguan You retorted coolly. Her mood tonight was excellent. The seeds of suspicion, planted so long ago, had finally sprouted, taken root, and were now flourishing.She believed it would grow even stronger by the time she returned. She was truly looking forward to it.

"But you’re operating under the banner of our Ye Family," Second Young Master Ye said, a hint of impatience in his voice. His cold gaze swept over the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist, his meaning clear.

"So what? My affairs have nothing to do with him. I go where I please. You’re too talkative. I preferred you when we first met," Shangguan You said, glancing at Second Young Master Ye before chasing off in the direction Wanqian had left.

"Preferred me when we first met?" Second Young Master Ye’s eyes lit up for a moment as he quickly chased after Shangguan You. What was I like when we first met? Back then, all I wanted was to kill this woman. Naturally, I was full of murderous intent. Could it be she likes me when I’m radiating killing intent?

Second Young Master Ye was bewildered.

If Shangguan You knew what Second Young Master Ye was thinking at this moment, she would definitely slap him a few times. You’re sick! I was talking about your icy, cool, handsome face, the kind that would only utter a single word after being asked ten questions! You’re too talkative now; it’s noisy!

Shangguan You and Second Young Master Ye followed closely behind Wanqian, watching her sports car speed away. Shangguan You had initially planned to follow from the air, but Second Young Master Ye had, from somewhere, produced a somber black sports car—as gloomy as himself. With someone else to act as chauffeur, she was more than happy to take the ride.

"Why are you so interested in them?" Second Young Master Ye asked coldly as he focused on driving. He was very puzzled and curious about her attention to the Shen family, which seemed to exceed even her interest in the Lin Family.

"I enjoy watching a good show. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

"Do you like that man?" Second Young Master Ye asked coldly, ignoring Shangguan You’s answer. "Do you think that’s possible?"

"Do you hate that man? So seeing them turn against each other makes you happy? Makes you feel smug?"

"What of it? There’s not a single good man out there."

"If you want, I can make them disappear from this world forever. Why waste so much time?" A flicker of killing intent flashed in Second Young Master Ye’s eyes; Shangguan You was paying far too much attention to that family.

"If I wanted them to disappear, I would do it myself. Why would I need your help? I just want to watch how deeply they love each other, how much they trust each other. Love? HMPH. I want to see it for myself," Shangguan You said, her eyes darkening as she sneered.

She would repay them for everything they did to her back then. They claimed to be so loving and devoted? Then she would witness just how deep their love was. If, after so much had happened, they could still love and trust each other without doubt, perhaps she would be moved by their love and let them go.
