Chapter 141 Corbin
Speaking of Burroughs' third son, Corbin Burroughs, that's interesting.
Corbin was not the son of the late Mrs. Burroughs.
But they were indeed Burroughs' children.
Years ago, Corbin's father was one of the most competitive children in the Burroughs family. But he cheated on his wife and secretly fathered a child with a female, and that child was Corbin.
After this incident was exposed, Corbin's father disappeared from the public eye, but as Burroughs's child, Corbin stayed and became the third and most inconspicuous son of the Burroughs family.
This time, the eldest son Jenkinson, the second son Ursey and the third son Corbin all came to the Flower Kingdom.
However, everyone knew that Corbyn was just there to make up the numbers and do odd jobs. No matter how well he performed, his background was not legitimate, so he had no qualifications to compete for the succession.
Corbin personally delivered an invitation, lowering his tone and inviting him over. Song Chen thought of that slightly pleading look, as if if he didn't agree, he would be punished when he returned...
Come to think of it, Corbin's position in the Burroughs family is indeed awkward and even a little embarrassing.
"I'm going to go."
It’s not that he feels pity for Corbyn, but among the people attending the dinner are partners he wants to win over.
"Tomorrow night?" Guan Heng thought for a moment. "It seems the government has received it, too. My mother wants me to go and make a formality."
"That party was more casual, and it seemed like many people brought their partners and children."
Everyone has some idea of the Burroughs family's reputation in the circle, but in the eyes of the public, there is not much bad news about them, especially in the Flower Country, where no one knows about the Burroughs family's dirty deeds.
After they arrived in the Flower Kingdom, they prepared a charity dinner to care for the cubs in order to establish a good image in the Flower Kingdom.
However, in Guan Heng's opinion, this charity dinner for caring for cubs is really ironic.
If the Burroughs family were truly kindhearted, why would they stage an orc show?
Guan Heng looked at Yu Man and asked, "Sister, are you going? I can be your flower protector."
By the way, let the outside world take a good look at him. He is now a male with a girlfriend.
"I don't want to go." Yu Man frowned slightly. She didn't like such occasions very much.
"Okay..." Guan Heng shrugged dejectedly. "Sis has a child now, so it's really hard for her to attend large gatherings. I'll try to be as careful as possible."
It was not until the next night when Guan Heng arrived at the banquet hall that he suddenly saw Yu Man.
"Sister?" Guan Heng looked at Yu Man in surprise. "Why are you here?"
Didn’t you say it couldn’t come?
He lowered his head, and Yu Manman also waved at him, "Hello, Uncle Guan!"
"Manman is here too?"
"yes!"
Yu Man's eyes flashed with some worry, "I changed my mind at the last minute and came here."
She looked at the magnificent banquet hall and immediately saw Song Chen chatting with someone.
There was no sign of nervousness on Song Chen's face over there. He just silently turned the white ring in his hand.
Yu Man did change her mind at the last minute.
As for the reason...
Yu Man looked down at Manman.
Because my daughter is full.
To be more precise, it’s because of the system.
Just today, Yu Manman heard Song Chen talking about the banquet, and as if a keyword was triggered, the system spoke again.
[Ding! After Song Chen was betrayed by Pat and Pang Xiaoyu, his company is on the verge of bankruptcy. The Curry family covets the rest cabin technology, but the core technology has always been in the hands of Yu Man and has not been leaked. The Curry family uses threats and inducements, but still fails!
In a desperate attempt to survive, Song Chen went to a banquet hosted by Burroughs, hoping to gain support to rebuild his rest cabin. Little did he know, it was a trap set by the Curry family, injecting him with a drug that could easily cause mental confusion! He was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to five years in prison!
[Now issuing a villain reformation mission: Please overturn Song Chen's verdict and clear his name!]
[Mission Difficulty: Nine Stars!]
[Quest Reward: Mind Reading! Limited to three times per day! You can read anyone's thoughts for ten minutes at a time!]
A lot of things have changed now. Yu Manman doesn't know if something will happen to Third Father at the banquet.
Therefore, Yu Manman also specially tested the luck of the third father attending the banquet!
As a result, the orange-red warning index is 78!
Yu Manman instantly became nervous and quickly told her mother what had happened.
So, they came to the party together...
Yu Man had considered not going at all, but if they didn't go this time, who knew what the next time would be like? The system wouldn't remind them every time.
And Manman took the initiative to ask to come along.
She has a system, who knows, she might be able to help...
"Guan Heng, can I ask you a favor?" Yu Man asked.
"Of course!" Guan Heng nodded immediately. "If you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
Yu Man leaned close to Guan Heng's ear and whispered, "Please keep an eye on Song Chen. Someone might try to attack him today..."
Guan Heng was stunned.
Since Yu Man said this, she must have known something in advance.
"Also, keep an eye on the Curry family for me."
Guan Heng nodded blankly, "The Curry family?"
When did my sister become involved with the Curry family again?
"Song Chen's original surname was Curry."
Guan Heng was surprised.
So, my sister’s beastly husbands, one’s original surname was Kevin, and the other’s original surname was Curry?
What else doesn't he know?
"I'll tell you about these things later. Please help me keep an eye on Song Chen first."
Guan Heng made an OK gesture and said, "Alright, leave it to me. I'll have someone keep an eye on it for you..."
Guan Heng spoke to Yu Man for a few words, then found an opportunity to leave the banquet hall and made a phone call.
"I'm at the banquet now. Send a few people to me to help follow Song Chen, and also... keep a close eye on the Curry family. Don't let anyone find out."
Guan Heng thought for a moment and said, "Oh, and there's Yu Man too. Protect her well."
Maybe they are targeting Song Chen, but my sister is Song Chen’s wife, so maybe someone is targeting my sister too?
Guan Heng was in high spirits, as it seemed that today's banquet would be filled with trouble again.
He returned to Yu Man and nodded to her.
"Thanks."
Yu Manman looked around, carefully watching the people toasting each other on the field, and sighed with melancholy in his heart.
Oh, who is trying to kill Third Dad? If only I could read his mind now!
[Ding! The host has a strong demand. Would you like to use 100 Luck Points to open the system mall?]
System Mall? ?
Yu Manman bit her fingers, feeling very conflicted!
Do you want to open the system mall?
That would cost a hundred luck points...
I'm so reluctant...
——System, what’s in the mall?
[As long as the host has enough luck, the system can help you solve everything. Of course, this system is for villains to become good, and cannot be used to help evildoers!]
I am full of satisfaction.
She just wanted to protect her family and didn't want to harm anyone. If a bad guy wanted to harm them, she would fight back, wouldn't that be against the system?
