Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Exam_1

"Teacher Yang, excuse me, I need to submit my test."

Yang Liwen’s face flushed. Stunned, he watched Shangguan You leave the examination hall, his mind reeling. Could this really be the work of a first-year high school student?

For the remaining exams, Yang Liwen attended every single one. He even sat beside Shangguan You, like a fellow examinee, observing her every move, watching her answer questions, and seeing her submit her paper exactly forty minutes into each test.

The pride and sarcasm he initially felt were slowly replaced by shock and then terror.

「」

After the last exam, Shangguan You let out a soft sigh of relief. She walked out of the campus slowly, her mind unusually calm.

"Shangguan You, stop right there!" Five figures suddenly blocked Shangguan You’s path. It was indeed Shen Jia and Feng Shaomei with their three cronies. Unexpectedly, as soon as the attention from their recent scandal had subsided, Shen Jia and her four cronies had started strutting around campus again.

"Shangguan You, as long as you kneel and apologize to us now, take a detour whenever you see any of us five from now on, and stop trying to seduce Han Shao and Mo Shao, then we’ll be generous enough to let you stay at First High," Shen Jia announced, her head held high like a proud peacock, exceptionally smug.

"That’s right! Hurry up, kneel, and apologize! We might just take pity on you and let you stay," Li Ruo’s voice rang out sharply, drawing the attention of students emerging from the examination rooms.

"Dreaming of becoming first in school? Dream on! Kneel down!" Liao Sisi sneered. This was their first outing since their online scandal broke. If it weren’t for the exams, they believed their parents still wouldn’t have let them out.

"Idiot! Kneel down, quick!" Gao Lili shrieked. They would reclaim, bit by bit, the honor lost from the humiliation that had befallen them. Shangguan You could forget about transferring schools. No matter where she went, they wouldn’t let her off so easily.

Shangguan You stood with her arms crossed, her deep, cold gaze fixed on the four in front of her. Feng Shaomei, however, was relatively quiet, merely an onlooker who hadn’t spoken.

"Heh, I can tell you this: I’ve definitely won this time. I’m waiting for all of you to disappear from my sight forever," Shangguan You scoffed, her graceful figure flitting past the four of them in a flash.

"Shangguan You!" Shen Jia and the others shouted, chasing after her. They had worked hard to corner her; how could they let her leave so easily?

She was right in front of them, yet even with all their might, they couldn’t catch her.

"Shangguan You, you bitch! Stop right there!"

Shen Jia cursed angrily. Her words successfully halted Shangguan You, who hadn’t intended to bother with her. A cold light glinted in Shangguan You’s chilling eyes. A white figure flashed past.

SMACK! SMACK! Two sharp cracks echoed as slaps landed squarely on Shen Jia’s face. A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and her body was sent flying, crashing to the ground with a THUD. Fortunately, this area was deserted, so no one witnessed it.

"AAAH!" Shen Jia screamed, her body feeling as if it were falling apart. Her eyes, wide with terror, watched Shangguan You approach step by step. At that moment, Shangguan You seemed like an emissary from hell, exuding a chilling, murderous aura. Intimidated by her overwhelming presence, Gao Lili and the other two girls recoiled several steps.

"UGH!" Shen Jia cried out as Shangguan You stomped her foot hard on her chest.

"Shen Jia, didn’t Shen Cheng teach you how to behave? Do you know the best way to deal with someone with a filthy mouth? It’s to ensure they can never speak again."

Shangguan You’s chilling voice echoed in the alleyway as a small, gleaming knife appeared in her hand. She gripped Shen Jia’s chin tightly, immobilizing her.

"MMPH! MMPH!" Her chin caught in a vise-like grip, Shen Jia struggled in terror as she watched the silver knife flash before her eyes.

"AAAH! Shangguan You is killing someone!" Li Ruo shrieked, trembling from head to toe, her eyes filled with deep fear and unease.

With three sharp THUDS, Li Ruo, Gao Lili, and Liao Sisi collapsed to the ground. A searing pain, as if their ankles had been slashed by knives, shot through them. The trio was in too much agony to even scream. Their faces turned deathly pale, sweat beaded on their foreheads, and tears they could no longer hold back streamed down their cheeks. Shangguan You is too terrifying! She’s not human! Not human!

"Remember this," Shangguan You said, her voice like ice, "don’t provoke me again. The consequences are more than you can bear." She then sharply released Shen Jia’s chin. Her chilling words lingered in the ears of the four girls on the ground. Shangguan You swept a cold glance over Feng Shaomei, who was cowering in a corner of the alley. Then, she turned and walked away, one deliberate step at a time.

Shen Cheng, don’t blame me for being cruel. This is all you deserve.

Feng Shaomei stared, her eyes wide with terror. She pressed her hands tightly over her mouth, stifling the scream that threatened to escape. As she watched Shangguan You’s graceful departure, Feng Shaomei slid down the wall, her body trembling. She gasped for breath, tears of fear finally streaming down her face. Thank goodness I didn’t go out there... otherwise...

"AAAH!" Only after Shangguan You’s figure had completely disappeared did Shen Jia finally break down, wailing loudly. Her abdomen and jaw throbbed with excruciating pain. Shangguan You isn’t human; she’s a demon! Luckily, she didn’t actually cut off my tongue.

Li Ruo sat on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. Her expression was dazed, her entire body shaking violently. Shangguan You’s ruthlessness is now deeply etched into my very bones. She’s no longer that timid little lamb.

「」

Inside the villa, Aunt Zhang spoke excitedly, "Miss, the Old Master called just now. He asked you to come home for New Year’s during your winter break. Your father also called."

It has been a full six months. Apart from a few calls from the Shangguan Family when Miss first arrived in B City, it was as if everyone had forgotten that the Shangguan Family even had a direct-line granddaughter. Only the Old Master still remembered this granddaughter of his. Miss is finally going back to Beijing! I can’t wait to see the looks on those two wretched women’s faces when they see Miss completely recovered. How arrogant can they be then?

"Mm," Shangguan You responded faintly, turning to go upstairs. Her mind was in turmoil. She had truly wanted to kill Shen Jia just then. If she hadn’t held back at the last moment, Shen Jia would probably be dead by now.

After locking the door, she once again blinked into the space. The dense Spiritual Energy and refreshing Spirit Fruit within gradually soothed the raging hatred in her heart.
