Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 93 Yu Family Banquet (4)_1

"You silly girl, whatever you want to do is fine. Your uncle supports you; you can do anything you want," Shangguan Yu said, tousling her hair with an affectionate expression. He only had one son. This son had been clever and sharp since childhood but wasn’t particularly close to them. In contrast, Shangguan You, this girl, was more affectionate and considerate than his own son, Shangguan Qing. This was why Shangguan Yu and his wife doted on Shangguan You so much.

"Hehe, I knew you loved me the most. I also like Grandpa and Uncle the most. You guys are so nice." Her endearing, daughterly words made everyone laugh out loud again.

Gui Mo watched Shangguan You, who sat in the center, the focus of everyone’s attention. His peach-blossom eyes remained fixed on her. In B City, this girl was usually as cold as ice, with an unapproachable demeanor. But now, back home, she would snuggle into her relatives’ embrace and act like a spoiled child. This was how a sixteen-year-old girl should be.

"Girl, could it be you don’t like Jun Brother? When I heard you were leaving, I was upset for days. How can you be so heartless? Girl, do you have the heart to make Jun Brother sad? To make him cry for you every day?" Gui Jun shouted exaggeratedly.

"Of course, I like him too. But compared to Jun Brother, I like Qing Brother more. Let Gui Luo cherish Jun Brother as her actual brother; I don’t want to steal someone else’s brother."

"Shangguan You, Jun Brother is my big brother, so of course, I like him the most! Besides, if you actually managed to snatch him away, I’d be overjoyed. Go on, snatch him away quickly!" Gui Luo joined the merry atmosphere and soon blended in with everyone else.

"Jun Brother, Sister doesn’t like you, but Rourou likes you," Shangguan Rou said, causing Gui Jun to roll his eyes. He ignored Shangguan Rou, continuing to hover around Shangguan You. No matter what the girl said, he loved listening to her, but he just didn’t like Shangguan Rou. Moreover, since the girl had returned this time, he felt she was even more captivating. He just loved being near her, even if only to listen to her speak.

"Alright, alright, stop crowding around the girl. Go play by yourselves," Shangguan Qing timely intervened as he saw Shangguan You encircled by everyone.

"That’s right, our girl will be treasured by the Shangguan family. As for you lot, go treasure the girls from your own families," Shangguan Zhi laughed heartily, happy to see his granddaughter so beloved.

"Grandfather, she isn’t just your family’s girl; she’s also the Gui family’s girl! We were inseparable as kids!" Gui Jun shouted in protest at the right moment, determined to oppose to the end.

"Your own sister is right here. Stop trying to get ideas about our girl," Shangguan Qing pulled Gui Jun over to Gui Luo’s side, his meaning perfectly clear.

"Hehehe." Shangguan You laughed out loud at Gui Jun’s sulking face. Suddenly, she felt a piercing gaze on her. Frowning, she turned towards the source of the resentful stare. She saw Shangguan Rou and Li Wanying offering fawning smiles. But those smiles, no matter how she looked at them, seemed utterly fake.

"Dinner is ready!" Zhang Ma’s voice called out at just the right moment, drawing everyone towards the dining room. Everyone enjoyed the dinner immensely. Liu Ruoling, who had rushed back, showed Shangguan You particular care and attention.

After dinner, Shangguan Yu and Liu Ruoling insisted that Shangguan You stay at their home for a few days. Although Li Wanying was reluctant, she couldn’t object since Old Master Shangguan had approved. She had wanted Shangguan Rou to go along, but Shangguan Yu and Liu Ruoling pretended not to hear her repeated suggestions. Shangguan Qing, meanwhile, had gone directly to Shangguan You’s room.

She couldn’t very well let Shangguan Rou shamelessly tag along. So, with an expression full of care, Li Wanying saw Shangguan You to the door, all the while seething with hatred internally. Watching Shangguan Qing carry the new outfits she herself had bought that day, she felt a murderous urge toward Shangguan You.

Shangguan Rou’s mouth opened and closed several times, tears welling in her eyes. She knew Shangguan Qing was definitely taking Shangguan You to a banquet, and she desperately wanted to go too. But Shangguan Qing had never been particularly close to her, and her relationship with Shangguan You was poor. She couldn’t just force her way in, could she?

Li Wanying watched her daughter’s aggrieved expression and wanted to speak up for her. However, every time she tried to broach the subject, Liu Ruoling would deftly interrupt, cutting her off before she could say what was on her mind. The words she wanted to say remained unspoken.

"Auntie, can I go with Sister to your place? We can keep each other company. After all, she’s just returned and isn’t familiar with many things. I’m worried she won’t be able to manage on her own," Shangguan Rou couldn’t take it anymore and stepped forward, looking pleadingly at Liu Ruoling. She had to go! She desperately wanted to meet the Young Master of the Yu family but had never had the chance. Now that an opportunity was right in front of her, she couldn’t let it slip away.

A flash of coldness glinted in Shangguan You’s eyes. She really has some nerve, saying that. How shameless! I seriously doubt Shangguan Rou is even a child of the Shangguan family. Could she have been switched at birth?

"Originally, I did consider having you sisters stay with us together. But if both of you were to go, with your father not home, leaving only Wanying and Grandma here, I wouldn’t feel at ease. Besides, you’re a filial child, so you should naturally stay and keep them company, shouldn’t you?" Liu Ruoling said with a smile, her words kindly but firmly refusing the request.

"Besides, our families live close by. You used to stay at our place often, and her room is always kept ready. Even though she’s been away, I’ve had it cleaned every day. She has plenty of clothes there too, so there’s no need to prepare anything. And with Qing there to look after her, I have nothing to worry about. Rourou, if you want to visit, you can come over and play with them tomorrow. For now, you should stay home and keep your mother company."

"Since I won’t be here, I’ll have to trouble you, Younger Sister, to take good care of Aunt Li and Grandma," Shangguan You interjected smoothly, smiling at Shangguan Rou as she allowed Shangguan Qing to lead her away.

"Mommy! Now that wretched girl is back, she’s snatched away everything that was mine! I hate her! I hate her so much! Why doesn’t she just die? Why did she have to come back?" Shangguan Rou threw herself into Li Wanying’s arms and wept heavily.

"Rourou, don’t talk such nonsense! Let’s go back inside," Li Wanying quickly covered her daughter’s mouth, stopping her from saying anything more reckless.
