Chapter 80: Chapter 80

Guan Heng was slightly dazed.

What a beautiful woman...

Every detail perfectly matched his aesthetic taste!

Yu Man was still unaware that Guan Heng was looking at her, at this moment, Meadon was chatting with her.

"Man," Meadon grinned at Yu Man, "can you remove me from the blacklist? Don’t worry, between you and my little uncle, I’m firmly on your side!"

Hehehe! Let him first infiltrate Man’s camp, and then slowly tip-off his little uncle!

"Man! Man!" Meadon pleaded, "Please remove me from the blacklist!"

Yu Man was annoyed by his persistence, "Fine, fine, fine!"

She frowned but still took Meadon’s Light Brain Number off the long-standing blacklist.

Guan Heng’s lips slightly curled upwards.

That beautiful female, even her frown looked so attractive.

He wondered what her name was?

Guan Heng glanced at Meadon next to Yu Man.

He knew Meadon, from the Reed family. They were around the same age and used to play together when they were kids.

Seeing Meadon smiling so happily, he muttered to himself: He hadn’t heard of Meadon having a wife, could it be someone Meadon liked, or his girlfriend?

"This lad is my eldest grandson, Guan Heng! He’s been studying abroad all these years and just graduated this year!" Old Sir Guan noticed his distraction, "Hey! What are you daydreaming about?"

Guan Heng snapped back to reality, shook his head, and pretended nothing happened, "Nothing..."

He planned to find an opportunity to probe Meadon about it first!

Elcaron glanced at the time, and just then, saw a streaming ball float down from upstairs, landing in an inconspicuous spot.

This was the streaming ball Mu Zhi had brought in, which they had discreetly gained control of.

After Mu Zhi was taken away, the streaming ball flew around and sneaked into the villa...

Since it was meticulously arranged, how could there be a lack of an audience?

[Wow! The streaming ball came in through the window from the second floor! The show crew is really great! Letting us see the grand feast of high society! This house... it’s just like my dream house! If I could live here for one day in this life, I’d die without regrets!]

[Isn’t it just me focusing on the people inside? At a glance, some of them even look familiar!]

[How could they not look familiar? They’re all big shots from every channel! Business tycoons, celebrities...]

[The people outside exchanging pleasantries may have some pretenders, but inside, they must be the aristocrats living in Land City? They all seem so polite, it turns out real aristocrats are mostly very cultured...]

At this moment, Mansa finally arrived, "Sorry, I had some minor issues to deal with, so I’m late."

She held a gift in one hand and Wen Jin’s hand in the other.

She wasn’t wearing a dress but a ladies’ suit and pants, exuding confidence.

"Good, good!" Old Sir Guan laughed, "Mansa, it’s good that you’re here!"

Old Sir Guan had always appreciated Mansa, feeling she was much like his own Xiaoxue.

Unfortunately, if it weren’t for the setbacks caused by her family’s decisions, Mansa’s achievements wouldn’t be much lesser than his Xiaoxue’s.

"Come, come, come! A’Yue’s one-year-old catch game will start soon, why don’t you add something too?"

Mansa thought for a moment, reaching into her pocket and taking out a medal.

"I’ll give this to Yue then."

This was the first medal she received when she joined the military.

Old Sir Guan showed a hint of affection, "Great! It has a wonderful meaning!"

Compared to being a socialite, Old Sir Guan hoped his granddaughter could spread her wings and achieve great things like her mother!

Becoming a female soldier was excellent too!

"Old Sir Guan, should the little miss have some milk before the catch game starts?"

"Alright, bring it over now." Old Sir Guan checked the time.

Soon, a male servant in uniform walked over to Guan Yue with a bottle of milk.

Seeing the bottle in the servant’s hand, Guan Yue’s eyes sparkled as she reached out her little hands, her lips seemed to glisten.

Elcaron watched as Guan Yue took the bottle, his eyes flickering slightly.

A fair little arm stopped in front of Guan Yue.

Guan Yue blinked, her cheeks bulged slightly!

She wanted to drink milk!

"Grandpa! My sister can’t drink that milk!" Yu Manman held Guan Yue back and turned to Old Sir Guan, saying, "It’s... spoiled!"

Old Sir Guan frowned.

Yu Man stepped forward quickly, "My Manman has a very keen sense of smell and can detect subtle scents."

"Why not have it checked to see if it’s gone bad?"

Previously, Yu Manman had completed the task of helping Fifth Dad clear his name, gaining a random Skill Card!

Later, Yu Manman used the Skill Card and obtained the skill of olfactory detection! Her sense of smell greatly improved! Able to discern unusual scents!

Thus, the task of identifying poison for Guan Yue first fell upon Yu Manman.

Even if Yu Manman hadn’t discovered anything, Yu Man would have found an opportunity to knock over the milk Guan Yue was about to drink.

"How could it be?" the servant said in surprise, "We’ve always been very careful with the little miss’s milk!" Read full story at novel-fire.ɴet

His face flushed as he continued, "If you’re worried, we can check!"

Elcaron’s brow furrowed slightly, scanning the surroundings.

Why hasn’t it come yet?

Elcaron shot a glance at Yu Manman, suppressing his impatience.

He feared that his well-laid plans would be turned to someone else’s advantage.

"Alright, let’s check," Guan Yue’s mother, Guan Lingxue, with her sharp short hair, dressed in a tailored suit, appeared both vigorous and intense.

She was now the head of the Guan family, exuding an authoritative presence.

Others said she lacked the feminine grace and motherly kindness, but she vowed to lead the Guan family to the peak!

Now her voice carried more weight in the Guan family than Old Sir Guan.

"I’ll do it!" A male beastman with a keen sense of smell eagerly volunteered, "I’ve been responsible for food safety for five years, if there’s anything wrong inside, I can tell by smelling!"

If there really was a problem, not only could he save a young life, but also gain the Guan family’s favor, which he considered worthwhile.

He took the bottle, sniffed carefully with some suspicion.

Then he squeezed out two drops of milk onto the back of his hand and continued to sniff, frowning slightly.

"Old Sir Guan, this milk does seem off!" he said, "There’s a subtle odd smell, but I can’t tell what it is, it’s best to have a professional identify it!"

The servant’s face changed, "How could this be?"

Pale-faced, he said, "I’ve always been very careful, sir!"

He took the bottle, "If you don’t believe me, I can drink it in front of you!"

"This milk shouldn’t be drunk! It’s poisonous!" a worried female voice exclaimed.
