Chapter 253: Take Good Care of Me

"Manman! Are you ready? Let's go!" Wu Yingyue's eyes flashed with surprise.

This was her first time bringing a friend home! She was quite excited about this novel experience!

"Everything is ready, let's go!" Yu Manman picked up the prepared gift, turned around and looked at Wu Yingyue's excited expression, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Yingyue treated her sincerely, but she went to Xiluo's house to inquire about the news.

Wu Yingyue smiled happily, with a hint of joy in her gentleness.

"Yingyue, why don't you take a ride with me?" Yu Manman suggested.

Wu Yingyue's eyes lit up, and she took Yu Manman's hand, "Okay, I'll ride with you! I'll let Brother Zhou Nan drive himself!"

"Hey, Manman, isn't Instructor Ackerman going with you?"

Wu Yingyue did not see Ackerman after going downstairs.

Yu Manman shook her head and explained, "He had something to do and couldn't go with me. It was Brother Shang Yu who accompanied me!"

Yu Manman didn’t know what task his father had assigned him. Anyway, he hadn’t seen him in the past few days!

After getting into Shangyu's car with Wu Yingyue, Yu Manman asked curiously, "Yingyue, there must be a lot of people in your family, right?"

But in fact, Yu Manman had already read the information of everyone in Wu Yingyue's family...

"Well... there are quite a lot! To be honest, I'm not particularly familiar with them!" Wu Yingyue sighed, "When I was young, I was in poor health and stayed at the Zhou family the whole time!"

"But my family treats me very well!" Wu Yingyue's lips curled up. "When I told my family that I wanted to bring you home, they were very welcoming!"

"It's just that our family is more strict about rules, and the atmosphere isn't as cheerful as yours."

Yu Manman then asked, "Does your family have any special rules? Or what are the personalities of your family members like? Are there any taboos?"

She blinked and said playfully, "I have to be careful. This is your first time bringing friends home. If I accidentally make a mistake, wouldn't that embarrass you?"

"Actually, there's nothing special about it..." Wu Yingyue pondered for a moment, "My dad is the eldest brother. He looks a bit serious, but he's also very easy to talk to! Just don't say too much nonsense in front of him!"

"Second Uncle... is very easygoing and has a very good temper!" Wu Yingyue leaned close to Yu Manman's ear and said teasingly, "Actually, I think Second Uncle is a bit of a smiling tiger!"

"If it's my second uncle, he'll only smile brighter when he gets angry! If we provoke him at this time, we're done for!"

Wu Yingyue's eyes flickered slightly.

After she returned to the Hiro family, she heard that someone had angered her second uncle, and that person had never appeared again. No one knew where her second uncle had taken them, perhaps to another city, or perhaps to the underwater city...

"As for my third uncle, he is more straightforward and uninhibited, but his temper is a little more irritable than my second uncle." Wu Yingyue continued.

"And my grandfather is very kind to us youngsters, so you don't have to worry too much!"

"As for the others, they're all my peers. They've all been assigned to study and work, so I don't spend much time with them, and I don't know much about their personalities." Wu Yingyue winked at Yu Manman. "There are just too many of them, and I can't remember them all! Besides, I grew up in the Zhou family. If you ask me about the Zhou family, I might be able to name a few!"

She had not been home since she was a child, so her cousins ​​naturally didn't know much about it.

"I don't even know the situation of my biological brother who has the same father and mother as me..." Wu Yingyue sighed.

Only occasionally, her brother would look at her with a very strange look, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

When she was in the Zhou family, although everyone treated her the same as other members of the Zhou family, she was not a real member of the Zhou family after all. There was still a layer of distance between them. Moreover, because of her poor health when she was a child, she could not play with the children of the Zhou family.

They were close, but not as close as family members.

After returning home, Wu Yingyue longed for the affection of her brothers and sisters, but she hadn't seen most of them in over a decade, and some of them she had never even met. They were all busy on their own, and even though they were related by blood, they were still very unfamiliar with each other.

Therefore, she envied those families where the brothers and sisters had good relationships.

"Is that so?" Yu Manman seemed to be lost in thought. Yingyue probably really didn't understand much, and what she said was almost the same as the information she had found.

"Doesn't your brother visit you often? Is your home far from the Zhou family?"

"It's not very far, but my brother is busy..." Wu Yingyue moved her lips, "Mom has high hopes for him and doesn't want him to spend his time on other things."

Is visiting my sister considered 'something else'? Yu Manman didn't know much about Yingyue's family situation, and seeing that Yingyue didn't want to talk about it, she didn't continue.

Yu Manman stopped asking about the Xiluo family and chatted for a while longer.

Then, under her intentional or unintentional guidance, the topic turned to the Zhou family.

"The Zhou family takes good care of me." Wu Yingyue smiled. "I was born prematurely, but I've been with the Zhou family since I can remember. Every time I'm sick, my grandparents come to see me!"

It was very painful to be sick, but with their comfort, Wu Yingyue endured it and got through it.

Wu Yingyue said a lot of things. She liked the elders of the Zhou family from the bottom of her heart. When she talked about the Zhou family, her eyes lit up even brighter.

Yu Manman listened to a lot.

"The Zhou family also has an uncle in a wheelchair, who is very strange..."

"So strange?" Yu Manman pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The uncle in the wheelchair, should that be Zhou Na?

"I don't know what to say." Wu Yingyue shrugged, "That uncle doesn't talk to me much either."

Zhou's grandparents also seemed to not want to have contact with that uncle.

"He had a strange look in his eyes. When he looked at me, he looked at me with a kind of...pity."

Wu Yingyue didn't understand either, "Maybe he felt sorry for me being sick?"

That uncle didn't talk much, but sometimes, he would stare at Grandpa Zhou and the others with a mocking look.

Yu Manman nodded.

"Ah, we're almost there!" Wu Yingyue's eyes lit up when she saw the road sign.

Yu Manman sat up straighter, looking into the distance, feeling a little nervous.

Shang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to drive forward steadily.

Before leaving, Yu Manman's father had told him to protect Manman.

After driving for about another half an hour, they finally arrived at Shiro Manor.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, someone came to guide them to drive their vehicles into the designated parking area.

"We're finally here." Wu Yingyue got out of the car and took Yu Manman's hand. "Let's go. I'll take you to see my grandfather!"
