Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 117 Breast Augmentation (2)_1

Shangguan Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and quickly instructed Liu Ruoling to take Shangguan You upstairs to rest.

"Yes, Father."

"Uncle, Grandfather, Brother Qing, I’ll be going up first. You all should rest early too and take care of yourselves."

"I understand, you should head up and rest," Shangguan Qing nodded. The sudden change in his father’s and grandfather’s demeanor had clued him in. He knew the issue was serious and related to the girl. Otherwise, Grandfather would not have sent the girl and Mom away.

"Okay, good night." Shangguan You gave a gentle smile to the three men before following Liu Ruoling upstairs to rest. She wanted them to know that it was her those people were targeting, and that they were trying to make her recall the buried memories. She was determined to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts.

Back then, few people knew about the incident. She had only been back for a day when she was followed, her whereabouts known with such clarity. If they gave it even a little thought, they would guess who was behind this, who was targeting her, and who didn’t want her to live peacefully.

Uncle Yu was too overconfident; he underestimated his opponents. Such overconfidence spelled death. The comfortable days for Li Wanying and her daughter, as well as the security of the Li Family, seemed to be numbered. Once the Old Master started to suspect, and with her adding fuel to the fire, she would ensure Li Wanying and her daughter could never hold their heads high in the Shangguan Family. She would destroy the Li Family’s reputation in Beijing and make sure that mother and daughter were forever despised by everyone.

A cold smirk flashed across Shangguan You’s lips. She had conquered that nightmare on the very first day of her rebirth. Otherwise, she believed she would still be that same reclusive girl. Since they were so cruel-hearted, they could not blame her for reciprocating.

She would reclaim everything she had lost. Those who had bullied her, those who wished her dead—she would not let any of them off the hook. In this new life, she would live for herself.

Watching Shangguan You disappear up the stairs, Shangguan Zhi’s eyes darkened, a simmering anger radiating from him. With a CRASH, the teacup in his hand smashed to the floor.

"This is too much to bear!" Shangguan Zhi growled in a low, furious voice. He could never have imagined that person could be so heartless. You’er had been sent to B City, far from Beijing. She was only home for the New Year. It was only her second day back, after attending just one banquet, and yet she had been schemed against like this! To use such despicable means to make her recall memories she had suppressed... This person wasn’t just ruthless; they wanted to destroy the Shangguan Family’s Princess!

"Dad, the military doctor said you mustn’t get angry. For Shangguan You’s sake, you need to control your temper," Shangguan Yu said, helping Shangguan Zhi sit down. Shangguan Yu’s own face was flushed with anger, but he was trying hard to keep it in check. Even if they knew who was behind it, they had no evidence. Besides, those people were too good at putting on an act in their daily lives, so without proof, it was useless.

"How outrageous!" Shangguan Zhi roared again, his wrath far from subsiding, growing even stronger.

"Grandfather, Daddy, what exactly is going on?" Shangguan Qing asked, looking puzzled at the two furiously fuming men before him. Everything was fine just moments ago, but after hearing what the girl said, their expressions completely changed. What did those cryptic words she uttered really mean? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Listen well. During this time, accompany the girl wherever she goes. Stay with her. Your mission is to protect her," Shangguan Yu ordered his son in a hushed tone.

"Someone wants to harm Shangguan You?"

"In order to protect her, I already sent her to B City and forbade anyone from even asking about her. But I didn’t expect such a thing would happen the moment she returned. Their reach has extended too far," Shangguan Zhi said coldly, his piercing eyes filled with intense anger.

Was this the outcome of his repeated forbearance—that it only emboldened them further? Shangguan Zhi suddenly regretted his decision from all those years ago. His second son hated him, resented him. In an entire year, the number of times he returned home could be counted on one hand.

Had his decision back then been right or wrong?

"Dad, are you going to send Shangguan You to another city? Do you want her to continue to hide? Does even returning to her own home require such secrecy?" Shangguan Yu’s brows furrowed. In the past, no matter what decision his father made, he had always supported him. This included arranging for his second brother to marry Li Wanying and bringing Shangguan Rou into the Shangguan Family. Although they hadn’t agreed with these things, they believed their father must have had his reasons, so he had always silently supported him.

But ever since that incident happened to Shangguan You, his father, disregarding everyone’s objections, had sent her to B City. He had even ordered that no one was allowed to visit her or call her, insisting that she learn complete independence. At that time, Shangguan You needed comfort and warmth the most. Yet, Shangguan Zhi had heartlessly left her alone in B City, with only Nanny Li to accompany and care for her. Back then, Shangguan Yu had felt his father was being too unfeeling.

It had been too cruel to her when she was just sixteen. Now that she was back, was what happened a year ago going to repeat itself? Could he only watch helplessly, powerless once again?

Shangguan Qing’s usually gentle eyes turned cold. Listening to the conversation between his grandfather and father, and thinking about what had happened that evening, he slowly began to piece things together in his mind.

"She’s not a child anymore; it’s time she was tempered. Here, under our protection, she won’t learn anything. It’s better for her to go to B City. Only by being far away from here will she mature and learn to live on her own," Shangguan Zhi sighed, a decision solidifying in his piercing eyes. Yes, after the New Year, she should return to B City.

The political waters in Beijing ran too deep. In B City, even if their enemies’ reach was long, nothing unexpected should happen to her. But here, if something happened to her, it would drag in that other party. And if that other party got involved, the sixteen years of peace the Shangguan Family had enjoyed would be shattered once more. Then, everything he had done in the past would have been for nothing, utterly meaningless.

"Dad, what you’re doing now isn’t for Shangguan You’s good; it’s harming her! You can run, but you can’t hide forever. That day will come sooner or later, so what’s the use of evading it?" Shangguan Yu sighed deeply. He disagreed with Shangguan Zhi’s current approach.

"That day hasn’t arrived yet, has it? We’ll deal with it when it comes," Shangguan Zhi said coldly, casting a glance at Shangguan Yu before striding upstairs. Shangguan Zhi, much like Shangguan You, had his own study and bedroom whether it was in his own home or at Shangguan Yu’s house. Usually, if there were important matters to attend to, Shangguan Zhi would stay over.
