Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 254: Lady Hilo

"Are you Manman? I’ve heard about you from Yingyue." Grandpa Hilo smiled kindly.

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

It was a traditional Chinese painting of a pine tree and a crane.

"Good, good, good!" Grandpa Hilo chuckled, "I’ve always loved the culture of Flower Country, this painting is truly wonderful!"

"I’m glad you like it."

[I do like this child. It would be great to match her with someone from the family. Unfortunately, that’s not possible...]

Upon stepping into this estate, Yu Manman activated her Mind Reading Card.

Hearing Grandpa Hilo’s inner voice, Yu Manman’s eyes flickered slightly.

Why is it unfortunate?

[Behind this child stands not only a mother developing Rest Pods, an uncle creating Heart Cleansing Pills, but also the Guan Family, the Reed family, and an admiral father...]

Grandpa Hilo sighed inwardly, [Too sensitive. If the estate’s secret were discovered, it would be terrible.]

Otherwise, with the power behind Yu Manman, they would definitely receive great support from them.

Grandpa Hilo sighed repeatedly.

Yu Manman subtly pursed her lips, what is the estate hiding? Hilo family must be concealing something unspeakable that must not be discovered!

However, after that, Grandpa Hilo began chatting with others, and Yu Manman could no longer hear his inner voice about the ’estate.’

Moreover, the Hilo estate was vast, with many attendees, filling the air with chaotic inner voices.

[The young masters of the Hilo family are indeed handsome, it would be great to marry one of them.]

[If I can’t get in touch with the Hilo family today, I’m doomed when I return! Oh God! Who knows what the Hilo family likes?]

[That female is really pretty, my God, how is she surrounded by over ten Beast Husbands? It’s intense!]

[I heard Lady Sisley spent a night with three husbands...]

The inner voices were too chaotic, making Yu Manman feel dizzy.

"Mom..."

Wu Yingyue obediently approached Lady Hilo and the eldest young master of the Hilo family, "Mom, brother, this is my classmate, Yu Manman."

As soon as Lady Hilo saw Wu Yingyue, her smile slightly faded.

"Hmm, I understand." Lady Hilo nodded coldly, "If there’s nothing else, take your friend for a walk, don’t come in front of me."

[After being back at the Hilo family for so long, don’t you know my attitude towards you? Don’t you know I don’t welcome you? Why do you keep appearing in front of me every day to annoy me?]

Amidst a heap of chaotic inner voices, Yu Manman clearly heard the voice of Lady Hilo.

Lady Hilo... doesn’t seem to like Yingyue? Why? Isn’t Yingyue her biological daughter?

Wu Yingyue’s last name follows her mother’s, until meeting Lady Hilo, Yu Manman always thought Lady Hilo should like Yingyue!

Yingyue is such a pretty and well-behaved girl, how could Lady Hilo not like her?

"Mom..." The eldest young master looked at his mother with some helplessness in his eyes.

[Why can’t mom be nicer to my sister? Even if giving birth hurt your body, it’s your own daughter, shouldn’t be so indifferent? Before, when she wasn’t back from the Zhou Family, you always stopped me from visiting sis! But I remember when we were young, mom seemed to be quite nice to sis, right?]

The eldest young master sighed silently in his heart.

"Why are you calling me? If you have nothing to do, go help your father entertain the guests!" Lady Hilo gave him a glance.

"Okay, I got it..." The eldest young master nodded, "Sis, I’ll leave now."

Wu Yingyue nodded with a smile, "Brother, go ahead!"

She looked around and asked, "Mom, I didn’t see Dad, didn’t he come back?"

"How would I know? If you want to know, you can ask him yourself, why ask me?"

[Dominic, that man, never consults with me on anything, whatever he decides, I’m only left to comply! When did he ever consider my opinions? Just like the incident back then!]

Lady Hilo’s eyes flashed with a trace of dislike.

It was her own foolishness, falling for him back then! Which led to so many troublesome matters! But once having stepped into this quagmire, wanting to leave was not possible anymore.

Lady Hilo’s inner voice was laced with self-mockery: [He’s selfish and indifferent, able to exploit anything, even his own bloodline! As an outsider, what right do I have to meddle in his affairs? If he listened to me even half a word, back then, she wouldn’t have been sent to the Zhou Family?! It’s good she didn’t end up like the sickly one in the Zhou Family!]

Back then? She? Sent to the Zhou Family? Is this ’she’ referring to Yingyue?

Zhou Family’s sickly one? Who? Is it Zhou Yanfeng?

Upon hearing the words Zhou Family’s sickly one, the first person Yu Manman thought of was Zhou Yanfeng.

Yu Manman felt a bit strange in her heart.

If the "she" refers to Yingyue, it implies Lady Hilo was opposed to sending Yingyue to the Zhou Family back then, but Yingyue went there for treatment, why would Lady Hilo oppose it? And what does it mean ’like that sickly one’?

Could it be... there was more than meets the eye when Yingyue was sent to the Zhou Family?

Yu Manman was a bit confused.

But, she will eventually figure out what secrets the Hilo family is hiding...

Wu Yingyue moved her lips but didn’t ask any further questions.

"Then mom, I’ll take my friend for a walk." Wu Yingyue’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment.

"Go ahead!" Lady Hilo also didn’t want Wu Yingyue lingering around her.

She adopted an attitude of avoiding trouble by not seeing it.

Wu Yingyue took Manman for a walk nearby.

While Yu Manman’s ears were filled with countless scandals, dark affairs, and unseemly curses—she felt like blocking her ears.

Truly, sometimes one shouldn’t hear too much.

Yu Manman observed the affluent ladies and gentlemen around, many appearing cheerful on the outside while internally denouncing and cursing the very people they flattered!

"Yingyue, it’s too noisy here, let’s stay somewhere quieter!"

Fortunately, she only temporarily activated the Mind Reading Technique via the system; if she heard these voices every day, she’d probably go insane!

"Alright!" Wu Yingyue also had the same thought, "It’s too lively here, I’m actually not that used to it."

Wu Yingyue looked up and met Yu Manman’s gaze, the two shared a smile, carrying a sense of mutual understanding.

They just wanted to find a quieter place to be.

The two, without prior agreement, went hand in hand to a quieter spot to sit.

Shang Yu, like a guardian, stayed by Yu Manman’s side at all times.

Arriving at a relatively quiet place, Yu Manman finally rid herself of the buzzing inner voices like bees. If she had stayed there, she would surely have gone insane from the noise!

Staying here, she could still hear the inner voices from the crowd, but at least they weren’t as harsh and chaotic.

[Yu Manman!]

Suddenly, Yu Manman heard a sharp and familiar voice.

She looked around, and indeed, saw Mu Yaoyao’s face.

Mu Yaoyao was staring at her, and when she directed her gaze toward her, Mu Yaoyao hadn’t had time to retract that spiteful look, only managing to pull a stiff smile, and slowly waved at her.
