"Have I ever offended you?"
"No," Shangguan You said, smiling as she shook her head. There was no enmity between Shen Cheng and Shangguan You, but she was not only Shangguan You; she was also Wanyou.
"If not, why are you treating like this? Why did you ruin the Shen Family, ruin , ruin Wanqian? Now that we’ve both co to this, do you still insist on wiping us out?" Shen Cheng struggled to get up from the ground. Things had co to this. Even if he couldn’t believe it, Shen Cheng now understood: Shangguan You had been incredibly active behind the scenes. From the mont Shen Congming went bankrupt and sought refuge with , she began her sche. Slowly, bit by bit, she turned against Wanqian. Finally, she had Shen Congming deliver the fatal blow, which also landed in prison. And she never spared .
"Heh heh, Shen Cheng, do you still rember Wanyou? When you and Wanqian conspired against her, did you ever think that you would one day face the sa fate? You should be asking yourself whether you had any enmity with her," Shangguan You laughed, finally revealing her identity in front of her two enemies.
"The mont I died, I swore I would smile as I watched you weep, and watch you turn from lovers into enemies. I thought it would take several years to witness this, but I never imagined that in just over a year, I would see what I longed for. It even exceeded my expectations."
"Watching the two of you fight like dogs truly made want to laugh out loud. I must have been blind to ever have liked scum like you. Thankfully, the heavens gave a chance to be reborn, allowing to see the state you’re in now."
Shangguan You stood quietly in the darkness. Her voice was calm, detached, and cold as she spoke, word by word. Shen Cheng’s eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief.
She said she was Wanyou? No, that’s impossible. Shen Cheng shook his head. I can’t believe it. I won’t believe it. It just can’t be. I watched Wanyou breathe her last; I personally placed her body in the Crystal Coffin. Shen Po preserved her body. If Zhuge Ao hadn’t thrown her body out, Wanyou’s body would still be perfectly preserved.
I don’t believe it; I can’t believe it. Wanyou was dead, truly dead. She couldn’t have co back to seek revenge on . Besides, Wanyou loved too much. Even if Wanyou were to co back to life, she wouldn’t do this to . She wouldn’t destroy everything I have. She wouldn’t, she just wouldn’t.
"You’re lying to ! You must be lying! Wanyou wouldn’t treat like this, she couldn’t! She loved ; her heart was only for ! She wouldn’t do this to !" Shen Cheng shouted. He didn’t believe it; no matter what Shangguan You said, he wouldn’t believe her.
"Heh heh, Shen Cheng, do you think I need to lie to you? What do you have left that’s worth my deception? The Shen Family’s assets are back in my hands. I will restore the Shen Family to the glory it had when Grandfather was alive. I will destroy everyone who wronged , including you and Wanqian. I have already done so. I’ve also proven that Wanqian, in that research institute, is living a life worse than death. And you, too, will return to where you belong. I will make sure you live out your entire life there. Do you enjoy being dominated? I’ll ensure you spend the rest of your life being tornted by others there!" Shangguan You smiled, looking at Shen Cheng’s face, which was a ghastly mix of colors. She laughed with such delight that tears welled up in her eyes.
"No, Wanyou, you can’t do this to ! You can’t, you can’t! You used to defy Grandfather for ; your relationship with him even soured because of ! You loved ! You were mine! Wanyou, I loved you too. It’s just that my heart was filled with hatred. I hated that all of you could enjoy everything while my family was cast out and struggling. That’s why I treated you that way. Wanyou, I was wrong, I was wrong," he pleaded.
"After you died, I truly realized that it was you I loved; I sincerely loved you. That’s why I preserved your body in the Crystal Coffin. Whenever I had ti, I would stay by your side and talk to you. I hoped so much that you would wake up, and I swore I would treat you right."
"Wanyou, now that you’ve co back to life, I will treat you well. Can we start over? Please, Wanyou. Can we? I will make up for everything I owe. Let’s start again from the beginning. Let’s live happily together; let’s have children that belong to us. Please? Will you? Please?" Shen Cheng said excitedly, walking towards Shangguan You.
He looked at Shangguan You with deep emotion, as if she were the girl he loved most in the world, the one he couldn’t live without.
"HAHAHA!" Shangguan You swiftly stepped back, dodging him. Seeing Shen Cheng’s display of deep affection, she felt like vomiting. Who does Shen Cheng think he is? Does he believe he can get whatever he wants just by asking? Even if he wants to, does he think I would agree? Such a despicable, shaless man—if it weren’t for revenge, I wouldn’t waste a single breath on him.
"Shen Cheng, you think too highly of yourself. The only reason I ca back to life was to trample you all underfoot while you still lived, to make it so you couldn’t even die. Now, I’ve succeeded. Do you think I’d believe your words or foolishly trust you again? Besides, in my eyes, Shen Cheng, you’re nothing but a worm now," Shangguan You sneered, her gaze filling with even greater disgust.
"Wanyou, your resurrection is such a bizarre thing. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell everyone? Then your fate will be just as miserable as Wanqian’s!" Shen Cheng threatened.
"Shen Cheng, since I dared to reveal it, I’m not afraid of you spreading the word. If you have the ability, feel free to tell the whole world," Shangguan You laughed. Shen Cheng and Wanqian truly are a despicable pair. They even think alike, their thoughts practically identical. Trying to threaten ? Only if they actually have the ability.
Besides, who would believe them? I am the daughter of the Shangguan Family. That status alone ensures no one would dare to touch .
"Wanyou, why has it co to this between us? We had happy tis too, happy mories, didn’t we?" Shen Cheng looked deeply stricken, his expression softening once more.
"Happy mories? Those are mories of hell!" Shangguan You gave a cold laugh, her voice chilling further. Just the thought of them poisoning , adding drugs to my milk every day, and then flaunting their affair right in front of —it makes my heart freeze and my gaze turn to ice.
