Beast World: The villain mermaid cub refuses to become a good person

Chapter 254 First Lady Hiro

"You must be Manman? I've heard Yingyue mention you before." Grandfather Hiro smiled, his face full of affection.

"Grandpa, I wish you longevity and eternal youth!" Yu Manman presented the gift.

It is a traditional Chinese painting of pine trees and cranes.

"Excellent, excellent!" Grandfather Hiro chuckled. "I've always loved the culture of the Flower Kingdom. This painting is truly wonderful!"

"As long as you like it."

I like this child. If only I could find someone from the family to match them up. Unfortunately, it's not possible…

Upon entering the manor, Yu Manman activated her mind-reading card.

Hearing Hiro's grandfather's heartfelt words, Yu Manman's lowered eyes flickered slightly.

Why is it a pity?
Behind this child are not only the mother who developed the rest pods and the uncle who developed the calming pills, but also the official family, the Reed family, and the general father…

Grandfather Hiro sighed inwardly, "This is too sensitive. It would be terrible if the matter of the manor were discovered."

Otherwise, given the power behind Yu Manman, they would definitely receive a great deal of help.

Hiro's grandfather sighed repeatedly.

Yu Manman pursed her lips slightly. What manor? The Hiro family must be hiding some unspeakable secret that they can't let anyone discover!
However, afterwards, Grandfather Hiro started chatting with other people, and Yu Manman no longer heard his thoughts about the 'manor'.

Moreover, the Hiro family's estate was very large, and there were many people there, making the atmosphere extremely noisy.

The young masters of the Hiro family are so handsome; I wish I could marry one of them.

If I can't get on the Heroes's side today, I'm doomed when I get back! Oh God! Does anyone know what the Heroes like?

[That female is so beautiful! My god, how come she's surrounded by more than ten beastmen? That's incredible!]

[I heard that Lady Sisley had three husbands in one night...]

The thoughts in his mind were so chaotic that Yu Manman felt dizzy and disoriented listening to them.

"Mother……"

Wu Yingyue obediently walked up to Madam Xiluo and Young Master Xiluo, "Mom, brother, this is my classmate, Yu Manman."

The moment Lady Hiro saw Wu Yingyue, the smile on her face faded slightly.

"Yes, I understand." The First Madam nodded coldly. "If you have nothing else to do, take your friend for a walk. Don't come running in front of me."

[You've been back at Hiro's house for so long, don't you understand my attitude towards you? Don't you know I don't like you? Why do you keep coming in front of me to annoy me?]

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Yu Manman clearly heard the voice of the First Madam.

The First Madam... seems to dislike Yingyue? Why is that? Isn't she her biological daughter?

Wu Yingyue's surname is her mother's. Before meeting the First Madam, Yu Manman always thought that the First Madam must like Yingyue very much!
Yingyue is such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, Madam, I said you don't like Yingyue?
"Mom..." The eldest son looked at his mother, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Why can't Mom be nicer to my sister? Even if giving birth to her damaged her body, she's still your own daughter. You shouldn't be so cold towards her, right? Before we came back from the Zhou family, you always stopped me from seeing my sister! But I remember when we were little, Mom seemed to treat my sister quite well, didn't she?

The eldest son sighed silently in his heart.

"Why did you call me? If you have nothing to do, go and help your father entertain the guests!" The First Madam glanced at him.

“Okay, I understand…” The eldest son nodded. “Sister, I’ll be leaving now.”

Wu Yingyue smiled and nodded, "Brother, go quickly!"

She looked around and asked, "Mom, I don't think I see Dad. Hasn't he come back?" "How should I know? If you want to know, you can go ask him yourself. Why are you asking me?"

[Domenico never consults me on anything; once he makes a decision, I'm always the one who has to follow it! When has he ever asked for my opinion? It was the same back then!]

A hint of disgust flashed in the First Madam's eyes.

She was blind to have fallen for him back then! That's why she's brought so much filth into this mess! But once she's stepped into this quagmire, there's no way she can get out.

The First Madam's thoughts were tinged with self-mockery: "He's selfish and cold-hearted, capable of using anyone, even his own bloodline! What right do I, an outsider, have to interfere in his affairs! If he would listen to even half a word I say, would she have been sent to the Zhou family back then?! It's a miracle she didn't end up like that sickly Zhou!"

Back then? She? Was she sent to the Zhou family? Is this Yingyue?

The sickly Zhou family member? Who? Is it Zhou Yanfeng?
When Yu Manman heard the words "sickly son of the Zhou family," the first person she thought of was Zhou Yanfeng.

Yu Manman felt a little strange.

If this "she" is Yingyue, then it means that the First Madam opposed Yingyue going to the Zhou family back then. But Yingyue went there to seek medical treatment, so why did the First Madam stop her, just like that sickly girl? What does that mean?

Could it be... that there's another reason why Yingyue was sent to the Zhou family?
Yu Manman was somewhat confused.

But she will eventually find out what kind of secret the Hiro family holds...

Wu Yingyue moved her lips, but didn't ask anything more.

"Then Mom, I'll take my friend shopping first." A hint of disappointment flashed in Wu Yingyue's eyes.

"Go ahead!" The First Madam didn't want Wu Yingyue hanging around in front of her either.

They seem to have an attitude of "out of sight, out of mind".

Wu Yingyue took Manman for a walk around the neighborhood.

Yu Manman's ears were filled with countless gossips, shady stories, and vile curses, making her wish she could plug her ears.

Indeed, sometimes, one shouldn't hear too much.

Yu Manman looked around at the elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen. Many of them were laughing and joking on the surface, but in their hearts they were slandering and cursing the people they were flattering!

"Yingyue, it's too noisy here. Let's find a quieter place to stay by ourselves!"

Fortunately, I only temporarily activated the mind-reading ability through the system. If I had to hear these things every day, I probably would have gone crazy!
“Great!” Wu Yingyue had the same idea. “It’s too lively here. I’m actually not used to it.”

Wu Yingyue looked up and met Yu Manman's gaze. The two smiled at each other, a tacit understanding between them.

They just wanted to find a quiet place to stay.

Without thinking, the two agreed and went to sit down in a quieter place, arm in arm.

Shang Yu was like a protector, always by Yu Manman's side.

Reaching a relatively quiet spot, Yu Manman finally escaped the buzzing in her mind like a bee. If she had stayed there, she was sure she would have gone insane!

Staying here, the whispers of the crowd would reach her ears, but at least they weren't as harsh or chaotic.

[Full of joy!]

Yu Manman suddenly heard a sharp yet familiar voice.

She looked around and, sure enough, saw Mu Yaoyao's face.

Mu Yaoyao was staring at her. After she turned her gaze to her, Mu Yaoyao didn't have time to hide her resentful look. She could only force a stiff smile and slowly wave at her.
