Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 656 Engagement (1)_1

Lin Wenhao and his brother watched Shangguan You’s actions, knowing that something must have happened to her. However, in front of the two elders of the Lin Family, they found themselves unable to ask. The matter concerning Lin Mengjie was still unknown to the elders, and they had no intention of telling them. Although Lin Mengjie had also changed their physiques, the matter regarding her was nonetheless a heavy blow to them. Therefore, it was better that the elders remained unaware.

After leaving the Lin Family, Shangguan You made a trip to the Ye Family to clear out some things that shouldn’t be there and asked the Ye Family’s second son to look after her family before she left.

"Where are you going?" the cold voice of the Ye Family’s second son still echoed in her ears.

"I am going to study for three months, then I will come back."

"Are you going to study with Lin Mengjie?" The Ye Family’s second son’s cold lips pressed tightly together as he stared at Shangguan You. For some reason, upon hearing Shangguan You’s farewell words, especially her request for him to help her family if they were ever in danger, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

"Yes," Shangguan You nodded, left some Spirit Gathering Pills for the Ye Family’s second son, and then departed. He watched her retreating figure, his vision growing somewhat unsteady.

"Shangguan You, are you going to find the Young Master? Does the Young Master need you now?" the Ye Family’s second son asked coldly, looking at her retreating back. Shangguan You paused slightly but did not answer, then coldly followed Shangguan Qing away.

Shangguan Qing looked at the girl beside him. After seventeen years together and only a six-month separation, he felt she had changed a lot. But no matter how much she changed, she was still their family’s girl. Having just heard that she would be leaving for three months, Shangguan Qing couldn’t help but secretly heave a few sighs in his heart.

Three months is always better than being gone forever. Though reluctant, he knew Lin Mengjie’s capabilities; no matter how reluctant they were, they couldn’t prevent her from leaving. Today, the girl had taken him to her properties. This made it clear to everyone that during her absence, the Shangguan Family would be their backing. If the Shangguan Family encountered difficulties, those forces belonging to her would be their final safeguard.

The Shangguan Family’s home was now full of laughter and joy. Shangguan You and Shangguan Qing seemed to be celebrating the New Year as they helped Liu Ruoling in the kitchen, from where bursts of laughter occasionally emanated. In the living room, the three men of the Shangguan Family sat on the sofa. Listening to the laughter coming from the kitchen, their hearts felt uneasy.

Although the girl said nothing, they could also sense that something was definitely going to happen. Shangguan Hao was the most distressed among them; his wife’s dominance and ruthlessness had dealt him a crushing blow. While Shangguan You was his pride, deep within, he felt an immense guilt towards her.

"Invite the people from the Yu Family over," Shangguan Zhi said heavily, sighing deeply. "Let’s have dinner together today and settle the girl’s marriage."

"Dad, shouldn’t we consider this a bit more?" Shangguan Yu furrowed his brows, voicing his disagreement.

"Dad, I think it’s better to let the girl decide her own affairs," Shangguan Hao also furrowed his brows. Everyone knew the girl’s temperament; if they forced her into a marriage, who knew what might happen.

"No need," Shangguan Zhi said gravely. "This is the Elder’s wish, and Old Yu and I also agree. Our two families were originally one, and this can also be considered fulfilling the Yu Family’s wish." He picked up the phone and personally dialed the Yu Family’s number.

The arrival of the Yu Family, along with the Qi Family’s grandparents and grandchildren, made the Shangguan Family’s home even livelier. Shangguan You looked at her family members before her and couldn’t help but sigh deeply. Shangguan Zhi had already spoken to her about the relationship between the Shangguan and Yu families, and even about the impending marriage.

Shangguan Zeming. The thought of that old man made Shangguan You’s heart fill with silent resentment. If not for him, how could the Shangguan Family have ended up like this? Why should such a burden fall upon me? If she hadn’t personally seen Shangguan Zeming’s body vanish before her eyes, she would have made that old man pay dearly.

He ruined the Shangguan Family, and now he even arranged my marriage! Although the Yu Family and the Shangguan Family are distant relatives, they’re still relatives! Shangguan You looked at Yu Zifeng, who was elegantly chatting in the distance. Her heart grew even more resentful. Even on the verge of leaving, that old man still made trouble for me!

"You, let me help you," Yu Zifeng said, a faint smile in his phoenix eyes. Although marrying into her family might sound somewhat disgraceful, Old Master Yu had already explained the history of both the Shangguan and Yu families. Moreover, he had a special feeling towards Shangguan You, so he could now accept it openly, even looking forward to it somewhat.

Even seeing the angry expressions on the faces of the Shangguan men, his heart grew more determined to marry her. If Yu Zifeng knew that Shangguan You was the woman the Ye Family’s third young master had his eyes on, and that what awaited him was the Ye Family’s third young master’s relentless suppression, as well as various forms of pressure from other different people, one wonders if Yu Zifeng could still smile so happily.

Yu Zijin, giving the two an ambiguous look, pulled Shangguan Qing along. "Future Sister-in-Law, Young Master Qing, let’s go help in the kitchen!" he said, squeezing past them to head to the kitchen.

"You, are you unhappy with our engagement?" Yu Zifeng leaned lazily against the wall. After a few months of school training, Yu Zifeng had become much steadier. He even carried an air of iron-willed determination and was no longer the young master from a prestigious family who only knew how to compete in profligacy with Brother Qing.

Yu Zifeng watched Shangguan You’s ever-enthralling face, a slight smile touching his lips.

"We’re only engaged for now, and no one can tell what the future holds. But I won’t let go. This is for you!" As if performing a magic trick, Yu Zifeng produced a box from his clothes. A lozenge-shaped purple diamond glittering with radiance appeared in his hand.

Shangguan You was momentarily dazzled by the light. What a spendthrift! Casually bringing out something worth millions!

"Do you like it? If I find something better in the future, I’ll give it to you," Yu Zifeng said with a light smile, extending his hand, which also held a men’s purple diamond. Hers was noble and elegant, while his was simple and understated.
