Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Bringing Home_1

Even after swiping the card and taking the clothes, Feng Shao’an and his sister still wore expressions of disbelief as they gazed at Shangguan You.

"Lan Xuan, Han Yachu, to thank you both for helping me buy clothes, tonight I’ll treat you to dinner," Shangguan You said softly, observing their calm expressions.

"Miss Shangguan, please allow me to treat you to this meal. How about it? Consider it my way of apologizing," Mr. Li said, wiping sweat from his brow with an ingratiating tone.

"No need," Shangguan You declined coldly. This Mr. Li is clearly an opportunist. He’s the type of man I despise the most, she thought.

"Is this really okay?" Lan Xuan rubbed his nose and glanced at Han Yachu.

"Let’s go," Han Yachu said, his hair swinging slightly as he took the bags from her hands and walked out first.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Lan," Feng Shao’an called out to the two departing figures. How could they agree to have a meal with this silly girl? he wondered.

"Mr. Li, please take a seat," Xu Nuo warmly greeted Mr. Li. He was a well-known figure in B City, often seen in newspapers, magazines, and on television. His visit to her humble shop was a rare honor.

"There’s no need. From now on, for Miss Shangguan’s regular clothing deliveries, bill the Li Family directly. Here is my business card. Please refund today’s transaction to her account. If there’s anything concerning Miss Shangguan in the future, deal directly with me," Mr. Li handed over a business card and, ignoring the stunned group, promptly left.

He immediately took out his phone and respectfully dialed a number. Having offended Miss Shangguan, my good days are numbered, he thought grimly.

The trio took a taxi straight to Lotus Villa. At home, Mother Zhang had already prepared a meal, waiting for her Young Miss to return. It was rare for the Young Miss to bring friends home for dinner, so naturally, Mother Zhang had taken extra care with the preparations.

Taking the clothes from Han Yachu and Lan Xuan, Shangguan You headed directly upstairs.

"Rest for a bit. I’ll change my clothes and be right down," Shangguan You said hurriedly, then headed upstairs. I need to check on Zhuge Feng. I wonder if he’s still here. If he ran off, then today’s whole charade would have been for nothing, and I’d be at a loss.

Opening the door to her room, Shangguan You looked around the tidy bedroom, puzzled. Where is he? Where is that pretty boy, Zhuge Feng?

"So, you finally decided to grace me with your presence," the bathroom door suddenly opened, revealing Zhuge Feng’s youthful face. His fair skin, long, slender legs, and his body clad only in a pair of briefs. Those pitiful eyes of his truly made Shangguan You feel as if she were committing a sin.

His wounds have mysteriously disappeared in just one day! That Spring Water truly is amazing, Shangguan You marveled internally once more. And the medicine I concocted is so effective. If I opened a pharmacy like this, I wonder if I could become a tycoon?

"I have to go to school, buy clothes for you, and find excuses to let you live openly in my house. Do you think it’s easy for me?" Shangguan You snapped back to reality and snorted coldly, throwing the garment bag at him.

"Put these on. Then, carefully climb out the window and ring the doorbell to come back in," she said, picking up a set of comfortable clothes and walking into the bathroom. When she came out again, the room was empty.

In the living room, Lan Xuan and Han Yachu surveyed the villa, which was certainly on par with their own. They grew even more curious about Shangguan You’s identity. Someone who can afford such a lavish home is truly playing it too low-key at school.

"You must be the Young Miss’s friends. Have some milk tea first; the Young Miss really likes it. Have some pastries too. Once the Young Miss comes down, we can have dinner," Mother Zhang said, bringing over exquisite pastries and the milk tea that Shangguan You enjoyed.

She then sized them up. They’re both quite handsome. No wonder they’re friends with the Young Miss. It’s a good sign that the Young Miss is proactively inviting young men home for dinner, she thought.

"Thank you, Mother Zhang. We’ll help ourselves," they replied.

"I’ve heard from the Young Miss that you two take good care of her at school. On behalf of my Young Miss, I thank you. My Young Miss is all alone in B City with very few friends. It pains me to see her like that. It’s rare for her to be willing to make friends now, so please look after her well at school and don’t let her be bullied," Mother Zhang said. As she spoke, her eyes grew blurry, welling with unshed tears. Ever since we arrived in B City, the Young Miss became timid, withdrawn, and reclusive, all of which makes me blame myself deeply. If only I had taken better care of her, that incident wouldn’t have happened. Then the Young Miss would still be the Princess she once was.

Lan Xuan and Han Yachu’s mouths twitched violently. The old Shangguan You might have been bullied, sure. But the current her? We’d be thankful if she didn’t bully others!

"We’ll definitely take good care of Shangguan You."

"Mother Zhang, it’s good enough if I don’t bully others. Who would dare to bully me?" Shangguan You said as she came downstairs. Hearing Mother Zhang’s words, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. Indeed, who would dare bully me?

"My lady, you’re just too soft-hearted. When people bully you, you never tell me about it when you come home," Mother Zhang said, looking at Shangguan You with a pained expression as she handed her a cup of milk tea.

"Thank you, Mother Zhang," Shangguan You said with a smile, taking a light sip. Why isn’t Zhuge Feng here yet?

Lan Xuan and Han Yachu stared at Shangguan You, who seemed like a completely different person; astonishment flashed in their eyes. She wore a cream-colored casual outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure. Her jet-black hair cascaded around her shoulders. Without her glasses, her deep, profound eyes were revealed. A smile now danced within them, like tranquil spring waters gently flowing, her gaze captivating and full of light. She exuded a compelling Spiritual Energy and possessed an innate, striking nobility. At this moment, she seemed to radiate light, a stark contrast to her usual cold and lifeless persona.

Her long, slightly innocent eyebrows, pink lips, skin as pale and lustrous as jade, and her well-defined nose gave her an air of cool detachment, yet inspired affection, making it impossible to look away.

The girl who seemed so ordinary without her glasses is actually such a noble figure! they thought.

"Shangguan You?" Lan Xuan said, somewhat uncertainly.

"Lan Xuan, let’s sit for a bit. Mother Zhang, I have another friend coming; I wonder if they’ve arrived. I’ll go check."

She had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang at the perfect moment.

"Alright, Young Miss, please sit. I’ll get the door. Any friend of yours is, of course, our most honored guest," Mother Zhang insisted.
