Chapter 115: Chapter 115
Yu Manman was so amused that she forgot all about being shy.
Her mission was completed! And the reward had arrived!
"Daddy number two~ do you like Manman a lot?" Yu Manman looked at Atier with bright, expectant eyes.
"I don’t..." Atier placed Yu Manman on the soft sofa.
Yu Manman stood on the sofa, proudly looking at Atier, "Manman doesn’t believe it! Daddy number two likes me~"
The system even said she gained daddy number two’s favor!
"Little rascal..." Atier chuckled softly.
Yu Man looked at Guan Heng, "Thank you for today."
If it weren’t for Guan Heng’s quick eyes and fast hands, stopping that doctor and intercepting that syringe, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"No need to thank me. We’re family now! It’s only right to help each other!" Guan Heng said, "Oh, by the way, my dad said he’ll have the Meng Li matter investigated by tomorrow."
Then Guan Heng playfully said, "If you really want to thank me..."
"Why don’t you accompany me to a party?"
Guan Heng said, "In a few days, our family is having a banquet for my little brother’s eighteenth birthday."
"By then... could you come as my girlfriend?"
Guan Heng looked at Yu Man with anticipation.
"Okay." Yu Man nodded.
Guan Heng was overjoyed; even when he left, the grin never left his face! Orıginal content can be found at novel⟡fire.net
This was just perfect!
Sister agreed to come home with him, wasn’t getting certified just around the corner?
Guan Heng was so thrilled he was beside himself!
"Hey! Mom! I’ve got great news for you..."
"Hey! Dad! I’ve got great news for you..."
Guan Heng made calls one by one; even through the Light Brain, his love-filled news reached them.
An entire afternoon passed, and even Guan Family members and his friends were not left out.
If he had been home, even the cats and dogs would have had to hear his good news!
"You’re such a show-off. Didn’t you say before you wouldn’t look for a wife until you’re thirty?" a friend mocked, "It’s not like you’re married. Why are you so cocky? Aren’t you afraid something might go wrong halfway..."
"Pfft! What bad luck are you spouting! When Guan Heng takes the field, is there anything I can’t handle? Just wait for my wedding banquet!"
"Hmph, whether there’ll be a wedding banquet soon or not, in a few months, you’ll be attending my son’s full-month banquet!"
Guan Heng: ... You win.
He stubbornly said, "Isn’t it just a cub? My family’s Manman is way cuter than your little brat!"
Compared to Guan Heng’s happiness, the atmosphere in the Kaven Family was much gloomier.
If it weren’t for Atier’s biological mother going insane due to an accident, she would have held considerable power.
But ever since Atier’s biological mother went mad and passed away, their family had gradually distanced from the center of family power and became increasingly insignificant.
Since they learned that Atier’s wife, Yu Man, had developed the Rest Pod, their eyes were gleaming!
This was a golden opportunity for them!
If they could successfully acquire Yu Man’s Rest Pod technology, wouldn’t they regain value?
As a result, they tried to persuade Atier nicely, but Atier refused to listen, hung up immediately, and even blacklisted them!
(Atier: Who wants to listen to your empty promises?)
The main family wanted them to maintain a good relationship with Atier, as they greatly valued the Rest Pod technology too.
Gentle methods didn’t work, so they had no choice but to take harder measures! They released negative news about Atier, trying to force Yu Man to hand over the Rest Pod technology!
However, the results were far from ideal and led to nothing but trouble! The main family scolded them for their stupidity!
Now, they’ve been completely abandoned by the Kaven Family! They’ve been pushed forward to bear all the responsibility, while the Kaven Family staged a grand act of righteousness, barely salvaging some reputation...
They were dissatisfied, clearly suggesting using Atier to force Yu Man was something the Kaven Family agreed to, playing a facilitating role in it. Yet, in the end, they were the ones abandoned!
But even if they were discontented, there was nothing they could do, for they simply didn’t have the power to resist...
Now, as beastmen grew up, most females would move out to start their own families.
And most males would go out seeking work and a wife.
Since Atier’s mother died, their family hadn’t had a second young female, always supported by Atier’s maternal grandparents and uncles.
Several of Atier’s blood-related uncles lived in the house, either having unhappy lives, divorced from their wives, openly refusing to serve a wife, or too unsuccessful to find a wife, lazing around the house even into their thirties or forties!
Atier’s biological grandfather overnight had a lot more white hair.
He listened to his wife cursing and felt an increasing headache.
Although he was the first Beast Husband to the wife, many of the Beast Husbands had left, and he still remained, troubled by the family affairs all these years?
The children born of the wife, few turned out well! All lazing at home, few had serious jobs, and even those with some success had cold personalities, unwilling to lend a helping hand!
Who let their family fall on hard times?
Their family now was just a huge burden!
Suddenly, one day, Nash received a call from an unfamiliar, altered voice.
"You’re unwilling to give up, right? Do you want to revive your family? Obtain the power you desire?"
Nash was wary, "Our family currently doesn’t even have a young female! Even if we revive, what good would it do?"
Wouldn’t it all be squandered by those good-for-nothings?
If Atier could return to their family, if they could tie Atier’s wife Yu Man to their family and have Yu Man bear a little female for their family, then there’d be some hope for them.
Of course, power was tempting, and personally, he naturally wanted it!
He wanted Yu Man’s technology, and he also wanted to bind Yu Man to their family; otherwise, why would he go all out to pressure Atier?
But the person on the other end, hidden and evasive, didn’t seem trustworthy! Who’s to say they wouldn’t be treated as pawns like the main family did!
"What if...we could give you a female with your family’s bloodline?"
Nash’s breath hitched.
In the Beast World, female birth rates are much lower than males!
Male cubs can be born several at a time, but female cubs typically come one by one! And the probability of bearing female cubs is low and even hard to influence with technology.
Technological conception usually sees female embryos aborted within a few weeks! Male embryos remain unaffected!
Otherwise, how could there be so few females nowadays?
"Test tube success rates are low, but it’s not impossible..."
Repeated in-vitro attempts or frequent terminations severely affect a female’s fertility, yet for those profiting from it, a female’s safety is negligible.
For female safety, in the Beast World, unless under specific circumstances, in-vitro and abortions are not allowed!
"So, do you want it or not?" the person scoffed.
