Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 521: You Family Takes Root (2)_1

Once they touch the skin and generate warmth, these jade pieces become transparent. They can be felt, yet they are completely invisible, allowing the Shangguan Family to wear them with complete confidence and peace of mind.

"Girl, how could your aunt possibly not like something you’ve given? Whatever you give, your aunt will surely wear it every day," Liu Ruoling said with a smile, unwilling to see Shangguan You bear even the slightest grievance.

"Grandfather, these pieces of jade can be worn safely. Right now, you can see them, but once the Spirit Jade touches the skin, it will turn transparent," Shangguan You explained. She also didn’t want her family to face trouble because of this Spirit Jade.

"Girl, what are your own thoughts regarding university?" Shangguan Zhi changed the subject, inquiring about Shangguan You’s personal ideas. Everyone in the Shangguan Family hoped Shangguan You would study abroad, preferring she not stay here. This was also a form of veiled protection.

In just a few short days, the entire situation in Beijing had grown strange. Even Shangguan Zhi, the Yu Family elder, and the Luo Family patriarch could hardly discern the state of affairs. Everyone was paying close attention, and this was the very reason Shangguan You had been called back.

"Indeed, girl, I think it’s better to go to a university abroad," Shangguan Hao also sat down, and the family gathered to discuss Shangguan You’s university plans.

Shangguan Zhi and the others still advised Shangguan You to go abroad. This would allow her to see a much wider world and also avoid the troubles of the upcoming year. Even the strange atmosphere of the past few days was something Shangguan Hao could clearly feel, and it extended even into the military.

Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Zhi, who held positions of authority in the government, felt this strange atmosphere even more acutely. Moreover, several different factions had begun to appear around the Shangguan Family residence.

The security here was among the best in the country; it wasn’t a place just anyone could enter. Yet, the anomalies now appearing near the Shangguan Family’s home had put everyone on edge.

"Grandfather, I don’t want to go abroad. I want to stay by your side; I want to accompany you all. Moreover, I’ve already submitted my application to Beijing First University, for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department," Shangguan You said, her words drawing everyone’s gaze. The Traditional Chinese Medicine department?

They had imagined her studying any number of other majors, but Traditional Chinese Medicine had never crossed their minds. For any other field, they could arrange for her to study abroad. But Traditional Chinese Medicine? Where else could one study that but in their own country?

"Daddy, you all know that once the application is submitted, it can’t be changed. Besides, Grandfather and Maternal Grandfather are getting older. I’m not going anywhere; I’m staying right here with all of you. Once I’ve mastered Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ll take care of your health. Big Uncle and you, Daddy, are always so busy with work, so I’ll look after Grandfather. And really, are there even Traditional Chinese Medicine departments abroad?"

"Child, are you sure about your decision? I still think that going abroad would be better—"

"Aunt, with Brother Qing not here, I just want to stay and spend more time with you all. And everyone—Grandfather, Daddy, Big Uncle, Aunt—you have to trust me. I have the ability to protect myself. I believe in my choices, and I won’t regret them. I definitely won’t let you down," Shangguan You said, her clear gaze fixed on her family, her voice firm with determination.

As Shangguan You finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. After a long silence, Shangguan Zhi finally spoke in a solemn voice, "Girl, since you wish to stay here, then stay. However, Grandfather has something to tell you: whatever you do, you must remember that you are not alone. You have the Shangguan Family behind you. No matter what you do, the Shangguan Family will definitely support you." His words caused Shangguan You to tremble slightly.

That morning, after they decided on the university Shangguan You would attend, the men of the Shangguan Family became busy, and even Liu Ruoling delved into her intense work.

The family members had just left, and Shangguan You hadn’t even had a moment to breathe when Yu Zijin and Gui Luo arrived early at the Shangguan residence, pulling her out and rushing off to school.

Today was the day the exam results were revealed. Just after receiving Shangguan You’s call, the two of them had hurried over and driven to the school.

In the schoolyard, students were gathered in groups, whispering among themselves; some were joyous, others worried. By the time Yu Zijin, Shangguan You, and Gui Luo arrived, the university entrance exam scores had already been announced.

Upon seeing Shangguan You and Yu Zijin, their classmates looked at them with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and other complex expressions.

Yu Zijin glared back fiercely, causing those looking at them to quickly turn away. Here, the identities of Shangguan You and Yu Zijin were known to all; no one would dare cause them trouble unless they were tired of living and willing to provoke the Shangguan and Yu Families.

They were not ones to be trifled with.

"Youyou, hurry up, let’s see how we did!" Yu Zijin’s crisp voice rang out. The surrounding students readily made way, their gazes toward the two filled with admiration. Truly worthy of being princesses of the Shangguan and Yu Families. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Okay," Youyou agreed, her eyes moving to the score bulletin. As for the heated gazes around her, she automatically ignored them.

Shangguan You, total score seven hundred and forty; Yu Zijin, total score six hundred and ninety; Gui Luo, total score six hundred and fifty. Her name occupied first place on the entire bulletin board, listing not only the total score but also the scores for the four subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, English, and one integrated test. Shangguan You’s gaze swept over it lightly. Seeing the ten deducted points, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

It seemed a perfect score on the university entrance exam wasn’t allowed.

"Youyou, you’ve actually secured first place in the whole school—no, it should be said, the whole country! Youyou, you’re the top scholar of the university entrance exam!" Yu Zijin exclaimed, staring at the commanding lead in points. Although she herself had secured second place, there was still a full fifty-point gap between her and Shangguan You.

While she was happy for Shangguan You, Yu Zijin couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. Shangguan You won this time, which means Big Brother will have to marry into the Shangguan family.
