After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 268 Are the Meng family members brain-dead or mentally challenged?

Zhou Shuyu stared at Meng Yunting, and asked hesitantly, "Not here... what do you mean?"

"She's gone." Meng Yunting raised his hand to cover his eyes, his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, and even breathing hurt. "It's my fault."

Zhou Shuyu pursed her lips, her brows furrowed.

Meng Yunting continued, "If I had taken her home without hesitation back then, perhaps she wouldn't have had this accident."

Seeing his regretful look, Zhou Shuyu had no intention of comforting him, and simply said, "There's no going back in life."

"I know." Meng Yunting's voice trembled with a sob. "But if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would definitely recognize her without hesitation."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Shuyu's eyes were indifferent, and her tone was devoid of emotion. "If you could do it all over again, you would still hesitate. You only feel regret now because you've already experienced it."

Meng Yunting's back suddenly stiffened.

Zhou Shuyu poured wine into two glasses, saying with a mocking tone, "What you call unwavering commitment is nothing but guilt and self-blame. Even your sister, who shares the same blood, is not important to you. You only care about your own interests."

"Shuyu." Meng Yunting slowly turned his head to look at her, and said self-deprecatingly, "Thank you for scolding me awake."

“I’m not trying to wake you up,” Zhou Shuyu said coldly. “I’m just speaking from the heart.”

She glanced at the man, picked up her wine glass, and drank by herself.

Meng Yunting fell silent.

After a moment, his consciousness gradually calmed down, and he said softly, "You are right. I made a mistake when she was alive. Now that we are separated by life and death, I have finally come to my senses... I will bring her body back, arrange her funeral, and let her be recognized by her ancestors."

Zhou Shuyu opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Perhaps they don't want to acknowledge their ancestors?

Forget it, this is someone else's family matter, it has nothing to do with her.

"Take your time drinking, I'm leaving now." Zhou Shuyu put down her empty wine glass.

"I'll take you," Meng Yunting said.

Zhou Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "You've had some wine too, how are you going to deliver it?"

Meng Yunting: "I'll have the driver come over."

"No need," Zhou Shuyu said calmly. "I have a friend to pick me up."

Meng Yunting paused for two seconds before asking, "Li Nanyue?"

Having not heard that ominous name for a long time, Zhou Shuyu's eyes and brows instinctively showed a look of disgust. "He's dead."

"I'm sorry," Meng Yunting quickly apologized.

Zhou Shuyu picked up her bag, stood up, and left the private room after saying "I'm leaving."

Meng Yunting watched her figure disappear and then pressed the service bell.

A staff member quickly brought a bottle of whiskey into the private room. "Mr. Meng, would you like some more?"

Meng Yunting: "Change it to plain boiled water."

At 1 a.m., Jiang Yuan heard a system notification after ending her live stream.

[System 009: Congratulations on completing the LV3 hidden quest: Blessing; Rewards: 50 points, 50 cash.]

Jiang Yuan's lips curled up, her mood becoming increasingly wonderful.

It seems I need to do more live streams in the future; if I'm lucky, the system will give me a lot of gold coins.

Jiang Yuan was lying in bed preparing to sleep when she suddenly saw Fu Xiaoxiao post a photo in the group chat—a photo of her and Zhou Shuyu.

Jiang Yuan sent three surprised emojis in a row: [When was this filmed?]

Fu Xiaoxiao: [Just now! I secretly saw Shuyu having a tryst with a handsome guy at a private club!]

Zhou Shuyu: [No, that's my ex-boyfriend!]

Fu Xiaoxiao: [Old flame rekindled!]

Zhou Shuyu: [No! I just went to watch the show. I thought he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol because of a romantic relationship, but I never expected...] Since the other person was Zhou Shuyu's ex-boyfriend, Jiang Yuan became interested to hear more: [Never expected???]

Seeing that she was interested, Zhou Shuyu edited her chat history with Meng Yunting into text and sent it out.

Jiang Yuan felt that the plot she was describing sounded so familiar...

She hesitated before sending a message: "Your ex-boyfriend's last name isn't Meng, is it?"

Zhou Shuyu: [How did you know?]

Jiang Yuan: [...]

As someone in the know, Fu Xiaoxiao immediately burst out cursing: "What a lunatic! Who are you cursing? Unbelievable! This 'sister' he's talking about, who's been living away from home, is perfectly fine! I'm speechless!"

Zhou Shuyu: [Could it be that his sister is Xiaoxiao...?]

Fu Xiaoxiao: [No, that won't happen.]

Zhou Shuyu: [That is...]

Jiang Yuan felt both unlucky and speechless.

Are the Meng family members brain-dead or mentally challenged?

They actually believed a single casual remark made by Cao Laoting?
Aren't you going to investigate this at all?
But then I thought, maybe this family is happy to hear this news, so it's normal that they don't investigate, because for them, whether she is alive or dead is not important.

What is Meng Yunting acting in front of Zhou Shuyu?

Jiang Yuan didn't reply to any more messages in the group chat and went to sleep angrily.

She could have had a good night's sleep, but because of the Meng family's influence, she had nightmares all night.

In her dreams, she suffered endless torment from Fu Jinxing and Jiang Die, living a life that was neither human nor ghost.

Jiang Yuan woke up with a start, covered in a cold sweat.

so horrible.

She reached for her phone on the bedside table and glanced at the time; it was only six in the morning.

Jiang Yuan put down her phone, intending to go back to sleep, but half an hour later, she still couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.

She simply got up and took Zhanzhan and Momo to kindergarten, which could be considered as atonement for the bad things she had done in the past and the ones she didn't have time to do.

On the way out of the kindergarten, Jiang Yuan was still wide awake. She hesitated for a few seconds, then turned the steering wheel and changed the destination on the navigation to Yunjing Wildlife Park.

It's been a while since I've seen my tiger brothers, and I do miss them a bit.

Jiang Yuan had a free pass to enter and exit the zoo. After entering the zoo, she headed towards the tiger enclosure, but found the viewing platform crowded with people, so she stopped in her tracks.

The Tiger Brothers are really popular.

Jiang Yuan turned and went to look at other animals.

In the tiger enclosure, Hu Rui, who was lying on a rock, twitched his whiskers and suddenly raised his head. His sharp tiger eyes were fixed on the viewing platform, and he muttered, "The tiger seems to have smelled Yuan Yuan's scent!"

Jiang Yuan is already watching the giraffes, and tourists are feeding them food.

She stood in front of the railing and took out her phone to take a picture of the giraffe.

As she was patting him, the giraffe's head suddenly came close to her face, and it exclaimed in surprise, "You smell so good! Did you hide something delicious?"

"Me?" Jiang Yuan blinked and waved her hand, "No, I didn't bring any food."

The giraffe sniffed her intently. "Impossible! You must have hidden something delicious. Otherwise, why would it smell so good? Are you deliberately withholding food from me?"

"I really don't have any." Jiang Yuan looked at it amusedly. "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

"Never mind if you don't have one." The giraffe shook its head, then asked, "Do you want to see me kick the antelope's butt?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan asked, bewildered. "Why did you kick the antelope's butt?"

The giraffe chuckled and said matter-of-factly, "Because work is so boring, I bully my colleagues to have some fun."
