Chapter 177 Iceberg of the Year (2)_1
The Yu Family indeed owes the Shangguan Family a favor, and now is not the time for disputes.
"The young lady of the Shangguan Family belongs to the Shangguan Family, not any other household. The lives and deaths of any other family have nothing to do with our Shangguan Family, and likewise, the Shangguan Family’s affairs are none of your concern. So, with no kinship or obligation, why should our girl be expected to sacrifice herself to save you?"
"Why? Those of you who spoke so self-righteously about having Shangguan You exchange places with you, the Shangguan Family will one day seek redress."
Shangguan Zhi’s voice was cold as his gaze swept contemptuously over the few who had wanted Shangguan You to save them. He had committed all these people to memory. If Shangguan You comes to no harm, all well and good, but should anything happen to her, none of them will be let off the hook. The Shangguan Family might not wield the greatest power, but they still have ample means to deal with these people.
"Father, I had no other choice. Both are my children. Shangguan Rou is also your grandchild; you cannot show favoritism. And Shangguan You volunteered willingly. Father..." Li Wanying sobbed to Shangguan Zhi, with the blood-covered Shangguan Rou in her arms.
"Grandfather, I’m so afraid, so very afraid! I’m still young; I don’t want to die! Grandfather, please don’t be angry. Father and Uncle will bring Sister back safely," Shangguan Rou cried out as well.
"Despicable women! The Shangguan Family does not have a cowardly mother and daughter like you! If anything happens to Shangguan You, I will make sure you are buried alongside her!" Liu Ruoling had watched Shangguan You disappear from sight. It wasn’t until she saw Lin Wenjie that she snapped back to reality. Seeing this shameless mother and daughter feigning pitifulness to gain sympathy, she couldn’t help but burst into a fiery rage and cursed out loud.
Two sharp slaps rang out.
"Sister-in-law, how could you do this? Shangguan You is your niece, but isn’t Shangguan Rou as well? I was also left with no choice. As a mother, if it were you, I believe you would have done the same as me," Wanying defended.
"Aunt, you only care for Sister! Sister is human, and so am I! Why is Sister the princess of the Shangguan Family, while I’m treated like wild grass? Why?!"
