Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 478 Engagement (2)_1

Shangguan You stepped back several paces, clutching her chest tightly. Her heart felt like it was bleeding; that pain swept over her once more. After a moment, she laughed at herself, a smile that was bitter and thick with irony.

Believe him, believe him, the words Ye An uttered before he left still echoed in her ears. But now he’s getting engaged. How could I believe him? How could I still believe him?

Ye An, An Ya... one cold, the other sweet—indeed, they are well matched, truly well matched. Both from the Ye Family, the same clan, equally powerful. Shangguan You lowered her head as a tear quickly slid from her eye, vanishing swiftly on the ground. Raising her head once more, Shangguan You had regained her usual calm.

In my past life, I was killed by love. In this life, I will be equally cold-hearted. Since Ye An is getting engaged, why should I care about him at all? No one is indispensable for survival in this world. I still have my family, my loving, doting family; there’s no need for me to feel sad.

"My girl, are you alright?" Zhuge Feng had appeared beside her at some point, his eyes full of concern. At this moment, with all attention drawn to the Ye Family members above, no one noticed them in the corner.

"Uncle, I’m fine," Shangguan You said, her lips curving into a faint smile as she nodded at Zhuge Feng. What could possibly be wrong with me?

"My girl, you’re still young. Wait until you grow up, and Uncle will find you a man far better than him. The Ye Family looks down on you, but you should look down on them! Not a single one of them is any good," Zhuge Feng said, his heart aching. She seems alright on the surface, but she must be in terrible pain.

"Uncle, I really am fine," Shangguan You reassured Zhuge Feng with a nod, smiling slightly. What good would feeling upset do about something that has already happened? Promises are useless. He made me feel this way; I’ll make them all feel even worse.

"I will help you get vengeance for this, rest assured."

"Uncle, I don’t know about the other members of the Ye Family, but as for Ye An and Ye Min, with their unfathomable skills... I think there’s no need to ask them. It would be pointless, and besides, I’m fine," Shangguan You said lightly, feeling a faint warmth emanating from the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist, her heart stirred inexplicably.

Shangguan You didn’t hear a single word of what the Eldest Young Master Ye was saying from above. The once dimly lit banquet hall brightened again as the lights came back on. The Ye Family members slowly descended the grand staircase; Ye Min had taken over An Ya’s designated spot.

An Ya, like a demure new bride, followed closely a step behind Ye An, a sweet smile on her face. Her happiness was visible to everyone.

No sooner had the Ye Family descended than they were surrounded by people.

"Young Master Ye, you truly are young and promising, and blessed with such a beauty by your side. It’s truly enviable," Zhuge Feng mocked him coldly. Anyone who dares to bully my girl, I won’t stand for it!

Ye An gave Zhuge Feng a cold glance but said nothing.

"Family Head Zhuge, you jest. If you were willing, I believe every woman here would throw herself into the fire for you," An Ya said softly.

"Miss Ye, I have a question. How did you manage to snag Young Master Ye? Perhaps you could give us some pointers. The four young masters are still single, and who knows, we might still have a chance. Could you teach us?" Haitang approached An Ya and spoke indifferently. She couldn’t stand arrogant women, especially self-righteous, brain-dead ones like An Ya. Marrying Ye An was such a big deal? She wondered if An Ya was just an embroidered pillow—all looks and no substance. Haitang herself had chased Bai Muxue for years without success, and now someone was getting engaged before her? How could she accept that, especially when they were so arrogant? Thinking about it made her feel thoroughly unbalanced.

"Indeed, I’m curious about this too, Miss Ye. How did you do it? Or rather, how did you manage to seduce Young Master Ye? I’ve heard Young Master Ye is as elusive as a dragon. How did you manage that?" Zhuge Yao swaggered over, chiming in at the right moment. How dare they belittle the Family Head? They’re courting death!

"That’s right, Miss Ye. You should share your success story. For the sake of all us women here, come on, share with us," Rose said, watching An Ya with a smirk. If she wants to be in the spotlight, she’ll have to see if we’re willing to let her. Regardless of whether we like Young Master Ye or not, he is still a Young Master, and that’s a fact.

"HEH, since you elder sisters have asked... The Young Master and I grew up together, so there’s no question of seduction. Our affection is mutual; we’re childhood sweethearts. Isn’t that right, Young Master?" An Ya turned to Ye An, gazing at him with eyes full of affection.

Ye An glanced coldly at An Ya, then turned and walked away, leaving behind only his white-clad retreating figure—a silhouette of ruthless indifference. He ignored An Ya completely.

Stunned, An Ya watched Ye An’s retreating figure. Her face flushed red, then turned pale, and her hands clenched so tightly her nails dug into her flesh. Tears welled in her eyes, but she fiercely blinked them back. They were about to get engaged. Was the Young Master still so disdainful of her?

"HEH HEH HEH, it seems Young Master Ye isn’t too pleased with you, huh? Some people are just shameless, throwing themselves at him."

"Wrong! It’s not that he’s not pleased; he simply doesn’t care at all! Didn’t you see? Young Master Ye’s retreating figure looked so cool, so stylish! I love it!"

"HEH, I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you’re nothing special. How pitiful, truly pitiful! The flower may yearn, but the stream flows on, unfeeling."

"HEH, Haitang, Bai Muxue is over there. Let’s go. I’m sure Young Master Bai wouldn’t treat us this way."

"Yes, Young Master Bai is gentle and refined. He wouldn’t ignore us."

"Exactly! Unlike Miss Ye, who only gets a cold shoulder. HEH HEH HEH."

"Truly pitiful, so pitiful."

Listening to everyone’s jeering, An Ya’s face alternated between flushed and pale, her expression twisting. Gazing at Ye An’s indifferent retreating figure, tears swirled in her eyes. She wanted to retort, but what they said was true, and she was speechless. Once again, Ye An had trampled her pride underfoot, leaving her for anyone to mock.
