Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 94 Yu Family Banquet (5)_1

"Mommy, tonight Shangguan Qing is taking that wretch to meet the Yu Family’s son. I want to go too! I really, really want to go! Why does she get everything she wants while I have nothing? Why? I hate her! I hate her!"

"Alright, what’s the big deal about a banquet or the Yu Family’s son? Wasn’t there a charity banquet before New Year’s? You’ll see him then. There’s no need to cry," Li Wanying gently coaxed, wiping away her daughter’s tears.

"But why does everyone else get gifts and we don’t? SOB SOB SOB! That wretch must be deliberately humiliating us."

"Regarding what happened back then, her mother hates me to death. How could she possibly send us anything? And even if she did, you’re not allowed to accept it. Did you hear me?"

"Why not?" freewebnøvel_com

"That woman has such a sanctimonious air. If she weren’t so conceited, so self-assured, how could I have had the chance to give birth to you? Besides, she can’t get close to her own biological daughter, nor can they even meet. That’s why she hates me. It’s better if she doesn’t send anything. If she does, there must be something fishy about it."

"Does that wretched girl know about these things? If she finds out, she definitely won’t let us off easy."

"That’s why, in front of everyone, I always treat her the best. Even you have to take a backseat. Don’t you understand yet? If we want to deal with her, we need to plan this carefully."

"I want to make it so she can never hold her head high in public. I’m going to ruin her! I’ll see then how she can still have the face to be the princess everyone adores and cherishes!"

The mother and daughter whispered conspiratorially as they walked toward the room. After closing the door, they began to plan how to deal with Shangguan You.

"Girl, hurry to your old room and change. The banquet is about to start; we’ll be late if you don’t go now," Shangguan Qing urged, pushing Shangguan You up the stairs before hurrying to his own room. If it weren’t for Shangguan Rou, it wouldn’t be such a hassle.

"Take it easy, child. If we’re late, we’re late. A girl naturally has to dress up beautifully. Our You girl will, without a doubt, dazzle everyone tonight," Liu Ruoling said with a light chuckle, taking Shangguan You to get ready as if she were a daughter about to be married off.

"Auntie, I can do it myself. It’s just a private banquet; there’s no need to be too formal."

"How can it not be formal? You’ve been out of their circle for half a year. Tonight, you must make a huge impression and let everyone know that our family’s princess is forever young and beautiful!"

Shangguan You didn’t know what to say, allowing Liu Ruoling to do her makeup and style her hair. Her originally jet-black hair was skillfully curled by Liu Ruoling, cascading lazily down her back.

"So beautiful," Liu Ruoling praised while applying the makeup, her hands even reaching to help Shangguan You change her dress.

"I can do it myself! I can do it myself!" Shangguan You backed away a few steps, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by Liu Ruoling’s enthusiasm.

"What are you shy about, silly girl? I treat you like my own daughter. When you took baths before, wasn’t it always Auntie who helped you change? Before you went to B City... sigh." Liu Ruoling sighed and said no more.

"Let me do it myself. I’ve grown up now; I’d feel embarrassed," Shangguan You said, clutching her clothes. She rushed into the bathroom, quickly stripped, dashed into her personal dimension for a swift shower, and then hurried back to change.

Liu Ruoling was stunned by her speed. This was a bit too fast! But seeing Shangguan You emerge so graceful and poised, Liu Ruoling’s heart overflowed with an indescribable joy. She felt the pure joy of seeing a daughter come into her own.

"Girl, are you ready? If you take any longer, the banquet will be over!" Shangguan Qing’s voice came from the doorway.

"Ready, ready!" Shangguan You pushed open the door and stepped out. Shangguan Qing’s eyes lit up; he stared, stunned for several seconds, as a faint scent of lotus wafted towards him.

"Silly boy, look at you, completely captivated! Our girl will definitely stun everyone tonight," Liu Ruoling said with a light laugh.

"Yes, our girl is the most beautiful no matter how she dresses up," Shangguan Qing murmured, then quickly took Shangguan You’s hand and led her downstairs.

"Brother Qing is very handsome too," Shangguan You said with a light laugh. She was wearing the pale yellow dress she had bought that day, with the white fur coat over it, and naturally, the matching white shoes.

She looked ethereal and otherworldly, like a fresh, pure blossom that captivated everyone’s gaze. Shangguan Qing, in a silver-white suit, appeared even more handsome and refined.

"Alright, hurry and go."

"Those two young masters from the Gui Family have been waiting at the door for half an hour already," Shangguan Yu remarked, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the pair. Then he shook his head. Although his son was outstanding, he seemed a bit unworthy of the girl. In just half a year, she had completely transformed, possessing such a refined aura.

"Let’s go, girl. It’s time we showed our faces tonight. Let’s see how smug that Yu Family kid can be," Shangguan Qing said with a light laugh, offering his arm for Shangguan You to take.

"Yes, Master! I will definitely make you shine today and promise not to disappoint you!" Shangguan You replied playfully. Mimicking a scene from television, she gave a slight curtsy, a wide smile blooming on her face, and elegantly looped her slender hand through Shangguan Qing’s arm.

"You’re still as mischievous as ever, girl."

"Uncle, Auntie, Brother Qing and I are leaving now."

"Go on, be careful on the road."

「Chaoyang Hotel, Private Club.」

The atmosphere within was electric, teeming with handsome men and beautiful women.

This private banquet was hosted by the Crown Prince of the Yu Family, who had returned from studying abroad for his winter vacation. The people he invited today were all former playmates, those he was familiar with. Naturally, Shangguan Qing, who often clashed with him, was also on the guest list. This group had practically grown up fighting each other; any gathering would be incomplete without these top-tier young masters and prominent young ladies.

This group of well-known scions, when gathered, discussed neither military nor political affairs. Anything related to national matters, they wouldn’t discuss, much less speak of.

What they competed for was ’face.’ As for how this competition played out, it depended on who initiated the gathering.

Stepping out of the car, Shangguan You wore a faint smile, her hand naturally linking with Shangguan Qing’s arm. Followed by Gui Jun and his two siblings, the group entered the hotel.
