Chapter 164 Gazing at her with resentment

Principal Lu appears gentle, but he is decisive and efficient, never dragging his feet in his work.

She must have had her own backing to be able to run such a primary school. In less than a day, she followed the clues and found the person behind it!
"Who?" Yu Man asked coldly.

“The Aurel family…” Altaïr said.

Yu Man's gaze grew even colder.

Taro Auré, even after all this time, she still hasn't learned her lesson and actually went after Manman again!

“My lady, Principal Lu said that they hadn’t screened the students properly and had let in people with ulterior motives. She also said that she would find an opportunity to apologize to us in person, and that as long as Manman stays at Lu’an Elementary School, all her fees will be waived.”

The annual cost of Lu'an Elementary School is approximately over one million yuan.

"We can't entirely blame them; it was deliberately arranged by someone."

Yu Man lowered her eyes. If anyone is to blame, it's those with ill intentions!

She'll need to be more careful in the future!

The next day, Yu Man arrived at the teahouse as promised.

Merton was already waiting outside.

"Sister Man!" Merton waved to Yu Man, "Over here!"

He looked at Atel next to Yu Man and greeted him with a grin, "Hello, brother-in-law."

Altaïr nodded slightly.

Merton said, "Sis, I've already booked a small private room. Let's go in and talk!"

He led Yu Man and Atair to an elegant private room, where the waiters began serving tea and snacks after they sat down.

"The pastries here are quite good, Sister Man, you should try them!" Merton moved a delicate lotus-shaped pastry in front of her. "If you like them, Sister Man, take some home for Manman to try!"

Yu Man glanced at the light green tea and delicate pastries on the table, all of which were her favorite flavors.

Although she knew Merton, he didn't know her that well.

Therefore, it is quite obvious who prepared these things.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Merton looked nervously at the exquisite and delicious pastries on the table.

That shouldn't be the case! This was personally chosen by my uncle! Even he would be drooling over it if he saw it!

Yu Man shook her head. "No, I like it very much."

She didn't reveal anything.

"I'm glad you like it!" Merton smiled. "Sister Man, is there something important you wanted to talk to me about?"

Yu Manqian took a sip of tea. "I just wanted to ask you, have you found anything about Lai Yi's matter?"

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Sister Man!" Merton said, as if taking credit. "Sister Man, don't worry, we've made some progress! If we continue investigating, we should be able to find out the exact area where he's being held!"

"You did indeed interfere." Yu Man put down the porcelain cup in her hand. "You should stop interfering in this matter."

"Huh? Why?" They were worried that Yu Man was anxious, so they were speeding up the investigation!
Merton thought that Man Yuman was worried about Lai, which was why she came to find him...

"I understand. Sister Man asked Guan Heng to investigate for you, right?" Meton was a little disappointed. Well, Sister Man was eager to distance herself from her uncle, and with Guan Heng's help, she probably didn't need them.

“It has nothing to do with Guan Heng. Lai’s disappearance was part of his plan, so you don’t need to get involved. Ersey Burroughs is a madman; if you interfere, he might even turn on you.”

Merton was taken aback, then grinned sheepishly, "Sister Man, are you worried about us?"

"I just don't want to drag others down with me," Yu Man said calmly.

“Oh…” Merton’s smile vanished. “Anyway, you all stay out of it.” Then, Yu Man took something out of her bag and handed it to Merton.

“This was left behind by Ray. I know he probably wanted to give it to you.”

Merton asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It's a life-saving medicine," Yu Man said. "As long as there's still a breath left, it can save a person. There's only one pill, so please take it. I hope you won't need it."

The Resurrection Pill was originally kept by Lai, but Lai left it behind before leaving home.

Once, Ray had asked Yu Man if she would agree if he gave the drug to Branwin one day.

What was Yu Man's response at the time?
If it really comes down to a matter of life and death, I would support him even if he gave the medicine to a stranger.

Thinking about the calamity that Manman mentioned in the information she had given her, Yu Man thought it over. Regardless of whether this calamity would occur or whether it would occur ahead of time, she couldn't wait until something really happened before bringing it up.

By then, it would probably be too late.

Yu Man had also asked Manman about the Resurrection Pill, and she didn't mind that she wanted to give the medicine to Merton.

"Mom, I can change..." Yu Manman once whispered to her.

Therefore, she decided to give the Resurrection Pill to Merton.

“This is Lai’s idea, and it’s also mine,” Yu Man said. “You saved Lai and helped him out of danger before, and this is our way of repaying you.”

Merton looked at the exquisitely crafted little medicine bottle on the table, but he wasn't very happy.

Because he probably understood what Yu Man meant.

Yu Man still wants to distance herself from them, right?
"Sister Man..."

"Take it," Yu Man said resolutely, looking at him.

"All right……"

Dejected and pitiful, Merton said, "Then, Sister Man, can we still keep in touch?"

Sister Man only removed her number from the blacklist less than a day ago! Is she going to call her back?

"Sister Man!" Merton thought, she still had to try. "I promise I won't bother you! Putting aside Uncle, we're friends, right?"

"They say things shouldn't happen more than three times, but my sister has already blacklisted me twice..." Merton looked at her resentfully, just like a naive child who had been deceived by bad people.

Yu Man suddenly remembered that when she was with the official, she had just promised not to blacklist him again, but then immediately locked his number in the blacklist, and she felt a little guilty.

"Okay." It's just a number, it's nothing.

Merton's face instantly brightened, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Then you can't lie to me again this time, Sister Man! Otherwise, I'll really come to your door demanding an explanation!"

"Sister Man doesn't want me to complain to Manman that you're a liar who doesn't keep his word, right?" Merton threatened, baring his teeth.

"Okay! I won't do it this time!" Yu Man nodded in agreement.

Merton flashed a triumphant smile. "Sister Man, from today onwards, you're my older sister!"

Uncle, go to the side for now.

"Sis, if you need anything in the future, just tell me!"

Yu Man took a bite of the crispy pastry and hummed in agreement.

Merton immediately sensed the perfunctory tone in it.

Sister Man still didn't want to trouble him, and wanted to have as little involvement with him as possible...

After a while, Merton asked cautiously, "Sister Man, I actually heard that that blind woman from the Aure family is bothering you again?"
