Chapter 192: She’s No Push-Over!

Xin Ya is a female of the Curry Family, three years older than Yu Manman.Aliya thought Song Chen had already eased relations with their family and wanted Song Chen to be the successor of the Curry Family, so she let Song Chen get involved in some family affairs...

Three years ago, Song Chen made a bold move, directly exposing some of the Curry Family’s gray industries and various issues! Even Aliya was sent to prison by him! Most of the remaining clean small businesses didn’t make as much money as those.

Many people criticized Song Chen for being ruthless, even turning against his own family.

However, most people were rational, calling Song Chen "a strategist who enters the game and makes a move against the odds," clear in right and wrong, not shielding so-called blood relatives at all.

And Xin Ya Curry is a female of the Curry Family. Aliya, having no daughter, was quite fond of Xin Ya and even intended to train her.

Aliya also worried that Song Chen would be uncontrollable. She wasn’t old yet and didn’t want to give up power, hoping to stay in control for another ten or twenty years!

Thus, Aliya wanted to cultivate Xin Ya, instill fighting spirit in her, making Xin Ya think she could also become a successor, and then compete with Song Chen.

Xin Ya was also eager, wanting to become Aliya’s successor.

In Xin Ya’s heart, since Song Chen had left the Curry Family for so many years, how could he genuinely wish the family well? Song Chen was still an outsider; he even married Yu Man, so he was no longer a member of their family, so why should he have inheritance rights?

She was different; she was a female! She would always stay in the Curry Family, wholeheartedly wishing it well!

How much effort did she put into gaining Aliya’s approval? She had been desperately studying since her teenage years, but before she had the chance to start managing family affairs, most of the family’s industries were sealed.

The family fell into chaos, scrambling over the last bit of assets...

And her dream of becoming a successor was shattered! The males who once courted her left one by one!

Now, the few followers she had were the ones she used to look down upon!

This made Xin Ya hate Song Chen all the more!

Yet Xin Ya couldn’t even get a chance to meet Song Chen!

Because of Song Chen, whenever Xin Ya saw Yu Manman, she wanted to cause trouble for her. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novelhall.com

This time was no exception.

Yu Manman stood there, looking at Xin Ya, "What do you want? Fight me in front of everyone?"

"Only if you can actually beat me," she blinked, not fearing Xin Ya at all.

To be honest, with the system boosting her, her strength was beyond normal people’s reach. Plus, she never wasted her talent, being trained by her own father, Puslin, for several years! Now, even male beastmen who trained for many years might not be her match!

Xin Ya’s face turned red, suddenly recalling that impromptu moment when she wanted to slap Yu Manman but got her hand caught by her...

Yu Manman was incredibly strong; her grip almost broke her hand!

Going head-to-head would only end in her own loss!

Xin Ya harbored great resentment, clouding her judgment, but nonetheless, she was trained by Aliya to analyze pros and cons.

If she dared act against Yu Manman openly, she would only receive warnings from the school, further tarnishing her reputation! Besides, she couldn’t even beat Yu Manman!

Thinking like that drove Xin Ya mad!

"If you’ve got nothing else, then I’ll take my leave," Yu Manman smiled slightly, "Let’s go, Brother Shang Yu!"

Xin Ya watched Yu Manman leave, filled with unwillingness.

She saw a beastman walking past and suddenly stuck out her foot...

Even if she couldn’t truly harm Yu Manman, she wanted to make her look foolish!

The passerby tripped, his tray flying from his hands!

Yu Manman’s ears twitched, hearing the commotion behind her, quickly pulling Shang Yu aside to avoid it!

"Watch out!"

Yu Manman then heard a male beastman’s voice.

She turned to see a beastman in a white t-shirt standing in front of her, with food scraps all spilled over him.

Yu Manman widened her eyes, "Are you, are you okay?"

Arthur wiped the sauce from his face and looked back at Yu Manman, "I’m fine, what about you?"

"...I’m okay, thank you," Yu Manman’s expression was a bit complicated, but she saw from the corner of her eye that this person had rushed over to shield her.

"No need to thank..." Arthur pursed his lips, "Without me, you could still dodge it."

"Arthur! Are you okay? Why did you act so impulsively!" Robbins looked at the mess on his clothes, unable to bear it.

"Arthur?" Yu Manman was a bit surprised, realizing something, "Is your name Arthur?"

Could it be the Arthur she knew?

Arthur’s eyes glimmered with excitement, "Do you, do you still know me?"

Did Manman actually remember him? He thought Yu Manman had long forgotten about him!

"I remember, you’re Arthur’s younger brother, I even gave you chocolate when we were kids!"

Most importantly, Yu Manman still remembered that Arthur was caught by a fishhook!

How could she not have a deep impression?

Arthur’s expression was slightly complex, "Actually... I’m older than you."

Back then, he appeared younger due to malnutrition, but in truth, he was older than Yu Manman.

Of course, he only realized this upon accessing Yu Manman’s information on the Star Network after getting his own Light Brain.

"Is that so?" Seeing a familiar face made Yu Manman quite happy.

"Your clothes are dirty; you should hurry back and change!" Yu Manman looked at him with concern, "Sorry for involving you."

"It’s okay." Arthur finally stood in front of Yu Manman and didn’t want to leave just like that.

"Can I, can I get your Light Brain Number?"

"Of course!" Yu Manman opened her Light Brain and added him as a friend.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Arthur left the cafeteria to change clothes.

Meanwhile, Yu Manman wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

She glanced coldly at Xin Ya, who was disappointed that not even a drop had splashed on her, "Xin Ya, your Curry Family did things it shouldn’t have, and having your assets sealed was inevitable! Even if you’re unwilling, it’s useless."

"Do you really want to go down the same path with them?"

Xin Ya’s face turned red with indignation, but she didn’t dare say anything.

"Xin Ya, if you dare pull another stunt next time..." Yu Manman casually kicked the eight-person table next to her!

She wasn’t a pushover like in the past life!

"Bang!" The metal table was kicked two meters away, crashing into the opposite wall with the table legs dented in!

"Hiss—"

The looks directed at Yu Manman around them changed instantly.

This young lady, her strength was something else!

"Is she from the Bear Clan?"

"How could that be? That’s Yu Manman, from the Fish Clan! Her beast form seems to be some kind of carp."

Xin Ya was pale...
