Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 258: Wu Jie

Lady Hilo, Wu Jie, walked over at some point, her face cold as she looked at the medicine in Lloyd Cassie’s hand, and with a flick of her hand, she knocked the medicine box out of his grasp!

A few white pills rolled on the ground, scattering in different places, one of them ending up by Yu Manman’s feet...

"She’s already lively and jumping around, why does she need medication?" Wu Jie glanced at Wu Yingyue, snorting coldly, "It’s a waste to use it on her! She’s been taking it for so many years, and still taking it? Be careful, it might backfire!"

Wu Yingyue was somewhat at a loss.

"Madam..." Lloyd Cassie frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, "This was instructed by the sir."

"He instructed? Even if Wu Yingyue is a patient, is he a doctor?" Wu Jie was unafraid of him, "Who knows what kind of mysterious medicine this is, she’s taken it all these years, and isn’t afraid it’ll end up killing her!"

There was a trace of resentment in Wu Jie’s tone, a trace she herself wasn’t even aware of.

But Lloyd Cassie’s attention was all on the pills scattered on the ground, he didn’t notice anything wrong, and even if he did, he wouldn’t find it strange.

The madam herself harbors grievances against the sir.

Whenever the sir comes up with something, she has to voice her opposition.

Lloyd Cassie reached out and bent down, preparing to pick up the pills from the ground.

"Am I not right?" Wu Jie stretched out her foot, stepping on one of the pills, "If this medication is effective, why doesn’t the Zhou Family’s sickling use it? Isn’t his health bad too? Why hasn’t his health improved?"

Lloyd Cassie’s hand paused, he looked at Wu Jie with a deep gaze.

[Has the madam noticed something? Knocking over this medicine, was it intentional? No way? She dislikes Wu Yingyue so much, what reason would there be to stop it?]

Yu Manman’s gaze flickered slightly.

Is there a problem with the medication Wu Yingyue is taking?

Yu Manman looked at Wu Jie’s foot grinding into the pill, her lips slightly pressed together.

"Why? Am I wrong? Wu Yingyue is an outsider, while Zhou Yanfeng is a member of the Zhou Family. Why doesn’t he take it, but Wu Yingyue has to?" Wu Jie laughed coldly, sarcastically saying, "Maybe the old lady of the Zhou Family just wants to use Wu Yingyue as a little lab rat."

The coldness in Lloyd Cassie’s eyes subsided, and understanding dawned in his mind.

[The madam has always disliked the old lady of the Zhou Family, if it weren’t for her interference, the madam would have ended up with Zhou Na as a lover. So, it’s because this concerns the old lady, that’s why the madam doesn’t want Wu Yingyue to take the medicine? Could it also be because Wu Yingyue was raised by the Zhou Family, making her dislike Wu Yingyue more?]

"Madam, rest assured, the Zhou Family cherishes Miss Yingyue a lot." Lloyd Cassie spoke slowly, "Master Zhou Yanfeng has also taken this medicine, it’s just that his constitution doesn’t suit it well, and the Zhou Family is still developing a new medication suitable for him."

[So Zhou Yanfeng has taken it too, maybe his health failed because of it? I remember when Zhou Yanfeng was young, his body was as strong as a little calf!]

"Heh, if you say so!" Wu Jie stomped once more and glanced at Wu Yingyue, "Zhou Family’s medicine, not to be taken! Don’t even think about it!"

[You think your body is truly this weak? It was me! It was me who raised you from a sickly little cub to being lively and jumping around, if it weren’t for Dominic taking you away from me and sending you to the Zhou Family, would you have suffered so much all these years? Dominic is selfish and cold, didn’t even flinch when dealing with his own daughter!]

Wu Jie gave Wu Yingyue a long, deep look.

[When Dominic brought you back, I shouldn’t have softened my heart and adopted you because my daughter died prematurely, I shouldn’t have treated you like my own! Why bother meddling? Do I think I’m a saint saving the suffering? I can’t even save myself!]

She silently lowered her bitter gaze, striding forward into the crowd, once again engaging in cheerful conversation.

Yu Manman looked at Wu Jie, who was smiling tenderly under the lights opposite her, inexplicably feeling a certain unspoken sadness behind it.

So, Yingyue was never Aunt Wu Jie’s daughter? She was adopted by Aunt Wu Jie?

Is Yingyue... Dominic’s illegitimate daughter?

Yu Manman looked at Wu Yingyue, her mind a bit chaotic.

Moreover, Aunt Wu Jie doesn’t seem to dislike Yingyue as much as it appears on the surface, she seems to be someone with a harsh mouth and a soft heart.

Indeed, if Aunt Wu Jie truly disliked Yingyue so much, how could she allow Yingyue to take her surname?

Aunt Wu Jie is so stern towards Yingyue, perhaps it’s just helplessness, unable to help Yingyue, yet unwilling to see her suffer.

She probably guessed there was a problem with the medication Yingyue is taking, so she deliberately came to destroy these pills! She even advised Yingyue not to take the medication anymore.

What exactly is this medication?

Yu Manman’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

After Wu Jie left, Lloyd Cassie looked at the crushed pills, frowning.

He picked up the pills that had rolled a short distance away, feeling irritable.

[These pills are difficult to make, each one requires a lot of time and special ingredients! And now Wu Jie wasted them like this...]

"Uncle, there’s one more here." Yu Manman picked up the pill by her feet, not keeping it to herself, but handing it back to Lloyd Cassie.

Since these pills are very important, Lloyd Cassie would absolutely not allow them to be left out, there were only a few, and if she hid one, it would definitely raise suspicion.

Rather than causing Lloyd Cassie to be alarmed, it was better to take the initiative to return it to him.

"Thank you." Lloyd Cassie chuckled lightly, collecting the pills from the ground and checking to ensure none were missing.

He looked at the ground where the pills were crushed, and directly called for a servant, "Clean it up!"

[These pills must not fall into others’ hands!]

He didn’t rush to leave, instead he ensured everything on the ground was cleaned up before he turned to leave...

Yu Manman watched Lloyd Cassie, pondering: It seems there is indeed a big problem with this medication!

Fortunately, when she picked up the pill, she discreetly scraped off a layer with her fingernail, and quickly had the system help hide it!

When she gets home, she must investigate what kind of medication Yingyue is taking!

And Zhou Yanfeng, what exactly caused his body to break down?

There are many secrets in the Zhou Family and the Hilo family...

Yu Manman shifted her gaze, noticing Wu Yingyue looking despondent.

"Manman, do you think... why doesn’t mom like me?" Wu Yingyue’s eyes shimmered with confusion.

"Who said she doesn’t like you? I actually think your mom cares about you! It’s just that the way she expresses it might be a bit off!"

Wu Yingyue looked at Yu Manman with hope, "Really?"

"Yep! Of course!" Yu Manman nodded earnestly, "Believe me, she actually cares about you! If she didn’t, why would she advise you not to take medication carelessly?"

"If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try!"

Wu Yingyue’s eyes lit up, "How to try?"

Yu Manman whispered a few words in her ear...
