Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 626 Shangguan Rou’s Biological Father (4)_1

"Shangguan You?"

Both of them spoke at the same time, looking around the slightly brownish space with puzzled faces.

"Sister, where is this place? Why are we here?" Shangguan Rou quickly came to her senses and was about to affectionately approach Shangguan You. "Youyou, what do you want to do by bringing Auntie Li and Little Rou here?" Li Wanying glanced at the few people around her, her expression guarded as she looked at Shangguan You. Why had they appeared here? Why didn’t they know anything about it? If it weren’t for the pain in her body, she would have doubted if she was dreaming.

"Heh, Auntie Li, Little Sister Rou, I’ve brought you here, naturally, to help Little Sister Rou find her biological father and to help Auntie Li find her real husband. This way, you can stop scheming after my daddy all day long," Shangguan You said with a laugh.

As Shangguan You finished speaking, the expressions on Li Wanying and Shangguan Rou changed multiple times. Second Young Master Ye, however, merely raised his eyebrows, his gaze constantly sweeping back and forth between Young Master Ye and Li Wanying.

"Young Master Ye, I have found your wife, who was lost for many years, and your only daughter. Isn’t this meeting gift I’ve brought you quite something?" Shangguan You said with a light smile, watching Young Master Ye’s darkened face with increasing satisfaction. Seeing Young Master Ye’s expression made her immensely pleased. However, it seemed Young Master Ye had no recollection of such a woman and daughter. Shangguan You felt a perverse thrill watching this mother-daughter pair, almost breaking into a sweat for them. The Li family’s mother and daughter, along with Young Master Ye—truly, birds of a feather flock together. A family of three, finally reunited, she mused sarcastically.

"Hahaha, Shangguan You, I’m afraid your calculations are off. Such an ugly woman? Even if you offered her to me for free, I wouldn’t touch her!" Young Master Ye said disdainfully, casting a glance at Li Wanying and her daughter before bursting into laughter. Such ugly women were usually beneath his notice, let alone someone he would proactively touch. This was simply a huge joke.

This was no surprise. The former Li Wanying, after all, still retained some charm. She knew how to take care of herself and lived well, considered a beautiful middle-aged woman. But during the half-year she was held captive by Zhuge Feng, especially in a frigid, snow-covered land, Zhuge Feng, while not starving her to death, hadn’t treated her well either. After half a year of captivity, her once-beautiful face was now far more aged than her peers.

Although she tried hard to maintain her appearance after returning, the effects of that period and her aged face were beyond recovery, no matter how diligently she tried. No wonder Young Master Ye spoke as he did.

Hearing Young Master Ye’s words, Li Wanying was so angry her eyes widened. If the situation here weren’t still unclear, she would have definitely charged forward and slapped Young Master Ye several times. Although the man was good-looking, he gave her a dangerous feeling; otherwise, Li Wanying was not one to take things lying down.

"Young Master Ye, you are mistaken. This woman, you did indeed have a past with her, and furthermore, she even carried your child. Sister Rou, the man before you, half-demon and half-angel, is indeed your biological father. From now on, you can acknowledge Young Master Ye and never again slander my father..." Shangguan You said with a light smile, speaking once more.

"Sister, even if you dislike me that much, you can’t just grab any man and claim he’s my dad, can you?" Shangguan Rou said, her face full of grievance. She had just been kicked by Young Master Ye, and her chest still throbbed with pain. Tears welled up and fell as she spoke.

Although Young Master Ye was quite handsome and easy on the eyes, considering his apparent age and Li Wanying’s current aged appearance, she looked old enough to be his mother. For Shangguan Rou to call someone only a few years her senior ’Dad’ was an absolute joke. Not many people would believe it if word got out.

"Youyou, I know you hate us and don’t want to see us, but regardless, we lived together for sixteen years. You can’t just drag us out here in the middle of the night. Although you all don’t want to see Rourou and me, this kind of joke isn’t funny at all; it’s even less amusing," Li Wanying said, equally aggrieved. The situation was unclear, and there was a chill in the air that made her involuntarily shrink her neck. She looked at Shangguan You with some dissatisfaction.

At the same time, she cast a glance at Young Master Ye, a man she had not seen before. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Auntie Li, Sister Rou, it’s precisely because we lived together for sixteen years that I brought you here—to help one of you find a husband and the other a father. You should know, for the past sixteen years, you’ve been freeloading off the Shangguan Family, eating and living for free. Now that you’ve found your real men, it’s time to settle our accounts," Shangguan You said with a light smile, slowly starting her calculations.

"What accounts are you planning to settle? This is the Shangguan Family’s business and has nothing to do with me. Moreover, don’t even think about pinning anything on me," Young Master Ye spoke indifferently. His black attire added an air of mysterious danger to him, and the aura that Shangguan You had suppressed began to slowly return.

"Naturally, it’s the account from eighteen years ago when you all conspired against my dad, Shangguan Hao, and my mom, Lin Mengjie. Besides that, what else do you think there is to settle?" Shangguan You sneered coldly, her gaze sweeping over Li Wanying, who shuddered violently at the mention of Lin Mengjie.

"Auntie Li, you don’t know, do you? The man in the wheelchair right here is known as Young Master Ye. Don’t be fooled by his age. He looks like he’s in his early twenties, but his true age... I’m not sure. He’s older than all of us, anyway. And the man who secretly helped you eighteen years ago was him. The one who was with you that night should have been him too, not my dad." Shangguan You’s light words sent a jolt through Li Wanying’s mind. She remembered the events of that year all too clearly. Although she had insisted it was Shangguan Hao, he had never acknowledged it in the past seventeen years and had never once touched her. Adding the recent DNA verification, and connecting all the pieces, her heart understood a fair bit of the truth, even if her lips wouldn’t voice it.

Shangguan Hao hadn’t touched her that year; perhaps it was just her fantasy. Even though she thought this, her lips still refused to acknowledge it. From the very first sight of Shangguan Hao, her heart had been utterly consumed by him. Even after more than a decade, she remained unchanged. Often, what is unattainable is most desired, the hardest to let go—this was precisely Li Wanying’s state of mind. "Dad certainly didn’t have any involvement with you back then. Whether you acknowledge it or not, that’s the fact. And the man with you was probably Young Master Ye. Even if not, his involvement with this Young Master is undeniable. This is also why Dad never acknowledged Sister Rou as his daughter. You both remember the results of the DNA test, right?" Shangguan You said with a light smile, her gaze fixed on Li Wanying, watching her face shift through a myriad of expressions before she spoke again.
