Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 499 Ye Family’s Third Young Master (5)_1

Listening to the conversation among the three men, Shangguan You sighed deeply. They were speaking so loudly that even she could hear everything clearly. It seemed Ye An, the eldest of the Ye Family, was doing it deliberately. He wanted her to know that no matter how hard she tried, and no matter how much Ye Shaoting loved her, they would not confront him.

"Younger brother, you are not young anymore. If you don’t fancy An Ya, could it be that you have feelings for Shangguan You?" Ye An teased.

"That girl suits my taste. I’ll wait for her to grow up," Ye Shaoting said, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Speaking of Shangguan You always improved his mood.

"However, little brother, according to the family rules, you can only marry a woman from the Ye Family, not someone with a different surname. Have you forgotten that?"

"I haven’t forgotten. I am only the Young Master, not the Family Head. Besides, I plan to let Big Brother take over as Family Head. Therefore, the ancestral teachings of the Ye Family don’t concern me," Ye Shaoting said with a light smile. He had never intended to lead the Ye Family or get involved in such troublesome matters. If Ye An enjoyed that kind of life, he could have it.

"Nonsense! Do you realize what you’re saying? There are plenty of women in the world. If it’s just for fun, I won’t oppose it. But if you’re thinking about marrying her, that’s out of the question! Out of so many women, why must you fixate on that girl?" Ye An scolded angrily. He could tolerate Shangguan You living under his watch, but he absolutely would not allow Ye Shaoting to give up the position of Family Head for her.

"Even if you don’t want to marry An Ya, you could still marry another woman from within the clan. You can even play around with women from outside. But you must absolutely not marry Shangguan You, let alone have any sort of relationship with her."

"Big Brother, why?" Ye Shaoting downed the red wine in his glass and spoke indifferently. He was aware of the opposition from Ye An and others within the family. But since he didn’t plan on being the Young Master, what use was their opposition?

"There’s no reason. It’s just not allowed," Ye An retorted furiously, unable to disclose the real reason to Ye Shaoting just yet.

"Big Brother, I think that girl’s not bad. Even I can’t beat her in a fight. She’s quite a match for our little brother."

"Ye Shaoting, do you know what you are saying? Do you realize the nonsense you’re spewing? A match? How is she suitable? A little girl in her teens is a match for our Third Brother?" Ye An exploded in anger, directly calling the Second Young Master by his name. If the Second Young Master weren’t his own flesh-and-blood brother, Ye An might have struck him dead with a single palm strike.

"Young Master, I’m telling you: you can play around however you like, but stay away from that girl! Otherwise, not just her, but the entire Shangguan Family will cease to exist. Little brother, you know I mean what I say. I have many Puppet Poisonous Insects and replacement ones. If you truly care about that girl, stay far away from her. If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I will make her hate you for a lifetime and regret everything forever!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Having raged with threats, Ye An stormed out, slamming the door and departing in his wheelchair.

Ye Shaoting exchanged glances with the Second Young Master. They nodded in unison, understanding each other without words. Ye An was still Ye An—otherwise, he wouldn’t have stormed off like that, especially in such a fury. However, his behavior was too impulsive this time. He likely raised his voice so Shangguan You next door would hear and leave Ye Shaoting for her family’s sake.

The once noisy room instantly returned to tranquility. Ye Shaoting and the Second Young Master sat with their wine, savoring it slowly without speaking.

In her room, Shangguan You quickly rose from the bed. Puppet Poisonous Insects, replacement insects? Was Ye An planning to use these creatures against her and her family? He was wishful thinking! Her figure flashed as she hastily left the room.

Within the pitch-black night, the wind began howling as a great fire engulfed the Ye Family’s villa, painting half the sky red. Fed by the wind, the flames grew fiercer.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! The sound of burning rose, and soon a faint stench of blood permeated the air.

"Girl, there’s a fire! Hurry up and get out!" The door was kicked open, and Ye Shaoting rushed in. Seeing the huddled figure on the bed, he swiftly scooped her up and leaped down from the window. The cold wind blew, and Shangguan You, who had been drowsy, suddenly became fully awake. Upon realizing her rescuer was Ye Shaoting, she yawned, snuggled into a comfortable position in his arms, and closed her eyes to continue sleeping. She was exhausted. Now that she had a chance to sleep, she intended to take it. Those insects were like resilient cockroaches. She had to expend considerable effort to burn them one by one. Little did she know that the people tasked with guarding the insects, seeing them all burnt up and fearing Ye An’s cruel methods, had set the villa ablaze. Otherwise, she would be sleeping in her bed right now, not being carried to safety by Ye Shaoting.

Ye Shaoting, looking at the figure in his arms, shook his head helplessly. What an audacious girl! She was gutsy enough to burn all the Puppet Poisonous Insects Ye An had painstakingly raised and even set the entire villa on fire. And yet, she could still sleep through it.

The entire villa blazed fiercely. Ye An sat in his wheelchair, his complexion livid. His usual placid facade had slipped. His hands were clenched tightly as he gasped for breath. Those insects, cultivated with so much effort, were all destroyed in a single blaze! Not one was spared!

A cold aura emanated from Ye An, deterring anyone from coming within three feet of him. The Second Young Master, arms crossed, stood behind Ye Shaoting. He watched Shangguan You, who seemed unbothered in Ye Shaoting’s embrace, and shook his head. What a daring girl she was, to do something so bold! Even if the Second Young Master himself had considered it, he would fear the repercussions from Ye An. Ye An’s methods were truly exasperating and terrifying.

Ye Zhiqiu and An Ya stood together behind Ye Shaoting. A throng of Ye Family members followed them, all watching Ye Shaoting’s doting gaze upon Shangguan You. A hint of malice flickered in An Ya’s eyes before she quickly lowered her head.

Feeling that malicious gaze, Shangguan You snuggled deeper into Ye Shaoting’s embrace, finding an even more comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
