Principal Lu appeared gentle, but she was decisive and never procrastinated.
To be able to run such a primary school, she certainly had her own resources behind her. In less than a day, she managed to identify the culprit!
"Who?" Yu Man asked coldly.
"The O’Reilly family..." Atier replied.
Yu Man’s gaze grew even colder.
Taro O’Reilly, after all this time, still hadn’t learned her lesson and dared to target Manman again!
"Wife, Principal Lu said it’s their failure to screen properly that allowed someone with ulterior motives in. She also said she’ll find a chance to apologize in person, and as long as Manman remains at Lu’an Primary School, all fees will be waived."
The annual fee for Lu’an Primary School was about a million.
"It’s not entirely their fault; it was deliberately planned by someone."
Yu Man lowered her gaze. If there was blame to be assigned, it was on those with ill intentions!
In the future, she needed to be more vigilant!
The next day, Yu Man arrived at the teahouse as agreed.
Meadon was already waiting outside.
"Man!" Meadon waved at Yu Man, "Over here!"
He looked at Atier beside Yu Man and greeted with a playful smile, "Hello, brother-in-law."
Atier nodded slightly.
Meadon said, "Sis, I’ve booked a small private room. Let’s go in and talk!"
He led Yu Man and Atier to a tasteful private room. Once they sat down, the server began serving tea and snacks.
"The snacks here are pretty good. Man, you should try some!" Meadon moved a delicate lotus pastry in front of her, "If you like it, take some home for Manman to try!"
Yu Man glanced at the light green tea and the delicate snacks on the table, all of which were her favorites.
Although she knew Meadon, he didn’t know her well enough to prepare these things.
So, it was obvious who had prepared them.
"What’s wrong? Don’t you like them?" Meadon anxiously looked at the exquisite and delicious snacks on the table.
How could that be? These were personally chosen by my little uncle! Even he couldn’t resist them!
Yu Man shook her head, "No, I quite like them."
She didn’t reveal anything.
"As long as you like it!" Meadon smiled, "Man, is there something important that you wanted to discuss with me?"
Yu Man took a sip of tea, "I just wanted to ask you, regarding Lai’s situation, have you found anything?"
"As expected, nothing escapes you, Man!" Meadon boasted, "Rest assured, we have made some progress! With further investigation, we might pinpoint the range where he is being held!"
"You guys have indeed gotten involved." Yu Man put down the white porcelain cup, "This matter, don’t get involved."
"What? Why?" They were worried Yu Man would be anxious, so they were hurrying the investigation!
Meadon assumed Yu Man was concerned about Lai, which is why she reached out to him...
"I know, you asked Guan Heng to help with the investigation?" Meadon felt a bit dejected. After all, Yu Man wished to distance herself from little uncle, and with Guan Heng’s assistance, they weren’t needed.
"It has nothing to do with Guan Heng. Lai’s disappearance was part of his plan. You guys don’t need to get involved. Esie Burles is a madman. If you interfere, he might target you too."
Meadon was stunned, then grinned foolishly, "Man, are you worried about us?"
"I just don’t want to drag others into this," Yu Man said plainly.
"Oh..." Meadon’s smile faded.
"In any case, don’t intervene." Then, Yu Man took something out of her bag and placed it in front of Meadon.
"This item was left behind by Lai. I know he probably intended to give it to you."
Meadon curiously asked, "What is this?"
"A life-saving medicine," Yu Man said, "As long as there’s a breath left, this can bring someone back, but there’s only this one, so use it wisely."
The Rejuvenation Pill was originally with Lai, and before leaving home, he left it behind.
Lai had once asked Yu Man if she would agree to give this medicine to Blanwen in a life-or-death situation.
What was Yu Man’s answer then?
If it really came down to a life-or-death situation, even if he gave this to a stranger, she would support it.
Recalling the information Manman gave her regarding Meadon’s calamity, Yu Man considered it—regardless of whether it would happen or happen sooner than expected, she couldn’t wait until disaster struck to take it out.
Otherwise, it might be too late.
Regarding this Rejuvenation Pill, Yu Man had also discussed with Manman. She didn’t mind that Yu Man intended to give the medicine to Meadon.
"Mom, I can always exchange for another one..." Yu Manman had quietly shared with her.
So, she planned to give the Rejuvenation Pill to Meadon.
"This was Lai’s idea, and it’s mine too," Yu Man said, "You once saved Lai and helped him out of danger; this is our way of repaying you."
Meadon looked at the exquisitely packaged small medicine bottle on the table but didn’t seem very pleased.
Because he probably picked up on what Yu Man meant.
Yu Man still wanted to distance herself from them, didn’t she?
"Man..."
"Just take it," Yu Man insisted, looking at him sternly.
"Alright..."
Meadon sulked, looking pitiful, "So, Man, can we still keep in touch?"
Man had only taken his number off the blacklist less than a day ago! Was she going to put it back on?
"Man!" Meadon thought he should make an effort, "I promise not to disturb you! Not mentioning little uncle, aren’t we still friends?"
"It’s said that things shouldn’t happen a third time. You’ve put me on the blacklist twice already..." Meadon looked at her resentfully, much like a simple-minded child deceived by bad people.
Yu Man suddenly recalled the time at the Guan Family when she promised not to blacklist him, yet did it immediately after. She felt a bit guilty.
"Alright." It was just a number, after all.
Meadon’s face instantly brightened like the sun after rain, smiling, "Then Man, you better not lie to me this time! Otherwise, I’ll come to you for an explanation!"
"Man wouldn’t want me complaining to Manman, telling her you’re a liar who doesn’t keep her word, right?" Meadon grinned in threat.
"Fine! This time I won’t!" Yu Man nodded in agreement.
Meadon displayed a victorious smile, "Man, from today onwards, you’re like my real sister~"
Little uncle, step aside for now.
"Sis, if you ever need anything, just let me know!"
Yu Man tried a bite of the flaky and crispy snack and hummed lightly.
Meadon immediately detected the perfunctory tone.
Man still didn’t want to trouble him and wanted fewer entanglements...
After a while, Meadon cautiously asked, "Man, I actually heard that the unseeing O’Reilly female is bothering you again?"
