Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 512 Peach Blossoms Blooming (3)_1

"CLAP, CLAP, CLAP." Zhu Li was the first to applaud. "Youyou, you played wonderfully." Zhu Li stepped forward with a fencer’s swiftness, her face alight with excitement as she watched Shangguan You. Han Yachu’s eyes darkened for a moment, but the look quickly faded.

"Hungry, aren’t you? Let’s go, let’s go have dinner." Lan Xuan stood up, extending a gentlemanly invitation to Shangguan You.

"Alright, then thank you, Lan Shao, for today."

"Call me Lan Xuan."

"Okay. Let’s go." Shangguan You said with a slight smile, nodding politely to Han Yachu and heading towards the door.

"How did you all get in?" Shangguan You asked as she looked at the locked gate, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.

"We got in the same way you did," Lan Xuan replied, his eyes twinkling with humor. It was a jest; he hadn’t actually thought Zhu Li would have really climbed the iron gate.

We got in by climbing the iron gate, Shangguan You thought. If Lan Xuan said that, he must have climbed too.

"Oh, Youyou, let me go up first. I’ll pull you up." Without waiting for Shangguan You to reply, Zhu Li quickly climbed up and stretched her hand down to help her up.

Shangguan You’s mouth twitched sharply. The son of a mayor, the son of a principal... how could they possibly climb an iron gate? This was a huge loss of face.

"Youyou, come on up," Zhu Li urged from above.

Han Yachu clenched the keys in his hand, his mouth twitching sharply. If that’s the case, then let’s all climb. Lan Xuan wasn’t any better. Feng Shao’an and his sister were gaping at Zhu Li’s somewhat rough actions. Making the dignified daughter of a high official climb an iron gate—only Zhu Li would come up with such a crazy idea.

"You go back down; leave Youyou to me," Lan Xuan chuckled softly as he agilely climbed up. Naturally, if the esteemed daughter of a high official chose to climb the iron gate instead of using the actual door, they would have to accompany her.

"I’ll pull you up," Han Yachu said flatly, climbing up swiftly and pushing Lan Xuan aside. He extended his hand to help Shangguan You up.

Shangguan You raised an eyebrow. She didn’t really need their help but shook her head, then extended her hand. She let Han Yachu pull her up.

She decided to play the part of a damsel in distress for once. The Feng siblings exchanged a glance and climbed up as well. If someone had been outside, they would have seen a group of young masters bypassing the gate and opting for the wall instead.

"Shangguan You, now that you’re in B City, we’re the hosts. Why don’t we go to our house for dinner?" Han Yachu said flatly. This was also the longest sentence he had spoken all evening.

"Yeah, tonight, Aunt Han has prepared some delicious food. Since we’ve met up, instead of dining out, why not eat at home?" Lan Xuan added with a smile. He could tell Shangguan You was in a bad mood, so going to their home seemed like a good idea. They could even get to know each other better. Besides, they were already planning to go to the Han family’s for dinner that night anyway.

"How about another day?"

"Yeah, let’s go another day."

"Since we’ve met, let’s go together. Besides, the food outside won’t be as good as at home," Han Yachu spoke calmly. For some reason, tonight, he really wanted to take Shangguan You home.

"Let’s go. Don’t forget, during those days in Beijing, we were guests at your house. Now that you’re here, naturally, you should come to our house," Lan Xuan said with a light smile, guiding Shangguan You into his car. Han Yachu’s lips curved slightly as he too got into the car.

The Feng siblings got into their own car and followed suit. The Han family was hosting dinner that night, which was why everyone had ended up playing basketball at the school.

A timely ring of the phone broke the silence, and Shangguan You frowned, taking the call. She had originally planned to buy some things before going to the Han family’s home.

"Daddy." Shangguan You took the call, her voice affectionate. Why would Shangguan Hao think of calling her? He was usually so busy.

"Girl, where have you been for the past ten-odd days?" Shangguan Hao’s voice carried the authoritative pressure inherent to a military man. Although his daughter had called to report she was safe, her phone had no signal for more than ten days. Now that he had some time, he naturally had to check in rigorously. Zhu Li looked curiously at Shangguan You upon hearing her affectionate address. Lan Xuan and Han Yachu exchanged glances while Lan Xuan drove steadily. Shangguan Hao’s imposing figure was etched deep into their very bones.

"Daddy, I’m in B City," Shangguan You admitted, breaking out in a cold sweat. She had updated everyone else on her situation, but had somehow missed her father. Now he had her.

"HMM..."

"Daddy, do you remember Han Yachu and Lan Xuan from last time? They saved your daughter, and today I bumped into them again. I’m going to their house for dinner. Daddy, what do you think I should bring as a gift?" Shangguan You quickly changed the subject, bringing up her saviors.

"Hm, Han Xiao and Lan Guohua’s sons?" Shangguan Hao paused for a few seconds, rapidly recalling their identities. Of course, they were his daughter’s classmates, so their backgrounds would naturally have been thoroughly vetted.

"Yes, Daddy, what do you think I should bring? I can’t go empty-handed, can I?" Shangguan You blinked innocently.

"Bring two bottles of Maoliang. Make sure to thank them properly—they’ve raised two fine sons."

"Daddy, I understand. If you hadn’t called, I wouldn’t have known what gift to bring. Thank you, Daddy," Shangguan You flattered him shamelessly.

"Girl, you’ve been playing for half a month; it’s about time you came back. Don’t you want to know your scores?"

"Dad, I’m confident," she replied.

"Confidence is good, but don’t forget the wager between the Yu Family and the Shangguan Family. Grandfather had wanted to cancel that bet, but now it’s been brought up again. For your future’s sake, you better come back soon."

The corners of Shangguan You’s mouth twitched sharply. Those two old men really knew how to stir up trouble.

After hanging up with Shangguan Hao, Yu Zijin also called, worried about her. For half a month, her phone had been unreachable, and she’d had no contact. Even Gui Luo had called. Throughout the journey, Shangguan You was caught up in a flood of calls. Seeing Zhu Li’s suggestive glances, Shangguan You laughed softly and decisively turned off her phone.

She was worried that if Zhong Mingyang and the others called again, they wouldn’t even be able to enjoy dinner that night.
