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

Chapter 277 You all owe me

Yu Manman looked at him and sighed inwardly. Zhou Yanfeng was indeed courageous; otherwise, he wouldn't have become one of the male leads.

Zhou Yanfeng extended his hand to Yu Manman in a gentlemanly manner, "Miss Yu Manman, may I dance with you?"

Yu Manman remained unmoved. "Sorry, I don't know how."

He wasn't lying about that; she was quick at everything since elementary school, but she was just uncoordinated and couldn't dance at all.

Even if she knew how, she didn't want to dance with Zhou Yanfeng.

She adheres to a life motto: stay away from male and female protagonists for safety.

Zhou Yanfeng wasn't annoyed. "Alright, then I won't bother you."

He took a sip of his drink and walked back into the crowd.

Soon, Cruz walked up to Zhou Yanfeng and looked at him with a suspicious gaze. "What do you want with her?"

“I wanted to try and see if I could win her over…” Zhou Yanfeng shrugged, annoyed, “but she seems to be hostile towards me.”

Hearing Zhou Yanfeng say this, Cruz sneered, "You think she's that shallow woman Mu Yaoyao? Your face can't fool her."

When Mu Yaoyao was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Cruz's eyes.

If it weren't for Mu Yaoyao, how could he have gotten caught up in this public opinion storm? The Zhou family used to rely on them, but now that the Xiluo family's reputation has been tarnished, the Zhou family has started to get arrogant...

Ah.

"You don't need to worry about Yu Manman!"

Anyway, Wu Yingyue has already drugged Yu Manman, so they'll control her sooner or later.

I heard that the Yu family has a doctor with good medical skills, but even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter, because by then the damage to the mental sea will be irreversible.

Cruz didn't believe that Ray could find a drug without side effects that could also repair the mental sea!

This Yu Manman... she's just unlucky, what can she do when she's a child of the Yu family?

Cruz felt that anything related to Yu Manman and her family was always going to cause trouble.

More than a decade ago, the market for inhibitors was divided up by the rest pods, and the government's schemes were foiled one by one. The Flynn family and Bona Vick, whom they had supported, were forced to give up...

Gurgling.

The sound of a wheelchair rolling over the ground could be heard.

Upon hearing the sound, Cruz raised an eyebrow and looked up at the middle-aged male orc in the wheelchair.

“Uncle…” Zhou Yanfeng looked at him.

Zhou Na sat in a wheelchair, looking gloomy. His right lower leg had been amputated, leaving it empty, and no prosthesis was installed.

"Who is he? I don't recognize him at all."

"Oh, he looks like Zhou Na? I thought he had already..."

All eyes were on Zhou Na, and many people were whispering among themselves.

"What brings you here?" Cruz asked, hands in his pockets, looking down at him.

Wasn't he always hiding and avoiding people? Why did he suddenly show up?

The moment the old man of the Zhou family saw Zhou Na, his brows furrowed deeply.

What are you doing out here?

The old man of the Zhou family had very mixed feelings about his son.

Decades ago, he would have been proud to have a bright son. But now, he felt only disgust and guilt. No, even the guilt had vanished; he felt nothing but disgust and wished Zhou Na would disappear. Zhou Na looked up, meeting the gaze of the Zhou family patriarch, and scoffed, "What? My nephew is getting engaged, and as his uncle, I can't even attend?"

The old man of the Zhou family looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Ignoring the old man's cold look, Zhou Na turned his wheelchair around and looked at Zhou Nan and Wu Yingyue, "Congratulations."

“I don’t have anything good to give you, so I’ll just give you this house.” Zhou Na took out a set of keys. “I bought this house with my own money when I was young. There’s no problem with it, so I’m giving it to you as a gift.”

"You had nowhere to go that day, but you still had a house..."

My money, at least, came from a clean source.

Yu Manman looked at Zhou Na; he really did know something.

"Zhou Na!" Old Master Zhou hissed, "What do you mean? Stop being sarcastic! Do we owe you something? If you're going to go crazy, go back to your place!"

"I'm crazy?" Zhou Na looked at Old Master Zhou. "Yes, I'm crazy!"

"You all owe me!" Zhou Na sneered.

If it weren't for you, would I have been in a car accident and become disabled? I could have had such a bright future!

Back then, to make the old man wary of him, fearing that he would surpass him, he arranged a car accident for himself!

Old Master Zhou's face turned ashen.

He clearly meant to ask people to be careful back then, just wanting Zhou Na to rest for a while, but who knew... his other son found out about his plan and had someone run Zhou Na over and sent him to the ICU, where he was in a coma for several days. When he woke up, he had already had his limbs amputated.

His leg didn't actually need amputation; it was his other son who, out of jealousy, bribed the doctor and had his leg amputated without his consent.

He felt guilty back then, but Zhou Na's repeated tantrums wore away the last bit of father-son affection and his own guilt!
He's always blaming me! What right does he have to blame me? I'm his father! Besides, I've already cruelly sent my other son to the underwater city, isn't that enough? Does he expect me, his father, to pay with my life?

Yu Manman listened quietly to their thoughts, her gaze falling on Zhou Na's legs.

Zhou Na was also pitiful.

“Grandpa, Uncle…” Zhou Nan spoke up to ease the icy atmosphere between the two.

"Here you go." Zhou Na gave Zhou Nan a deep look.

He's lucky. His father, fearing he'd end up like me, kept everything from him. That's good, though. Even if something happens to the Zhou family, it won't implicate him too much. And unlike me back then, he didn't hesitate and ruin his own life!

Back then, he had already been involved in a lot of family affairs and discovered what his father was doing. He secretly reminded his father to stop, but his father ignored him and even scolded him.

On one side was his beloved father and the vast Zhou family; on the other was his own conscience.

He was in great agony. After vaguely learning that his father planned to make him leave the company, he felt heartbroken, but also relieved. So he pretended not to know and let himself get into a car accident.

But he never expected that the car accident would almost take his life, and even less did he expect that it would leave him disabled.

I'd rather just die!

Yu Manman's gaze shifted.

Did Zhou Na know that the Zhou family patriarch had attacked him?
"Thank you uncle."

Zhou Nan accepted it, still not quite understanding the look in Zhou Na's eyes.

Zhou Na said nothing more and had someone push his wheelchair away.

As Zhou Na passed by Yu Manman, he glanced at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions—a mixture of guilt, pain, and helplessness…

He couldn't bear to see the Zhou family decline, so he stood by and did nothing.

But he wasn't ruthless enough, so he suffered every day.
