50. A Rival in Love is Creeping In

Having something to eat upstairs, Shu Shu was not in a hurry to attend the banquet. On the contrary, he started to eat happily.

Halfway through, his communication device suddenly rang. Shu Shu opened it to see and found that it was actually Synthia who had sent a message.

Synthia had already arrived at the banquet ahead of time, but he was not familiar with anyone at all, so he sent a message to Shu Shu, asking whether Shu Shu had come or not.

"Is it a message from a classmate?" Ian asked. Shu Shu certainly didn't hide from him when reading the message, and the letters on the screen were also very large, so he was able to read the message just by taking a glance at it.

"Yeah. It's my desk-mate Synthia who sent me a message. Uncle Ian, do you know Synthia?" Shu Shu curiously asked.

When Ian introduced those people just now, he was familiar with all of them. It made Shu Shu feel that Ian should be omnipotent.

"I mainly know the older generation. I'm not familiar with a young sub-beastman like him, but Edgar should have his information." Ian said. When his son sent Shu Shu to the bridal class, he had definitely checked the situation of everyone in the bridal class.

And him speaking out like this was partly to give Shu Shu a hint, letting him know some of the things that they did and would do.

Edgar glanced at his own mother a little unhappily. He did investigate Shu Shu's classmates, but he didn't want to let Shu Shu know-what's to be done if Shu Shu felt displeased after knowing about it?

However, Shu Shu did not feel displeased and turned towards him with great interest instead. Edgar thought about it and then sent Synthia's information to Shu Shu.

Synthia was the stepson of a viscount, and, from a certain point of view, his life experience in the Beastman Empire was quite melodramatic . . . .

To begin with, Synthia's biological father died in an accident. His sub-beastman father initially intended to raise him alone, but a viscount pursued him ardently later on. He was originally a rather weak sub-beastman, and after his husband died, he did not know what he should do. He ultimately accepted the viscount's pursuit and married the viscount.

He had eaten his former husband's beast bead, so naturally, he could no longer give birth to a child for the viscount. At first, this did not matter. The society had developed to the present; there were many beastmen and sub-beastmen who did not want to have children, and no one would think they were strange for not having children. Unfortunately, another sub-beastman took a fancy to this viscount afterwards . . . .

This viscount should have loved Synthia's mother dearly, but he nevertheless wanted children. In the end, he actually gave his beast bead to this sub-beastman, letting the other party give birth to his children . . . .

A person's feelings would change. Between a sub-beastman who kept his former husband in mind constantly and a sub-beastman who was dead set on bearing and raising his own children and even gave birth to five or six children, which one was more important?

The viscount decided to divorce Synthia's mother, but Synthia's mother was hard-pressed to accept it. The marriage that had been unhappy from the beginning also made him depressed. In the end, he actually killed himself.

This was the case. Of course, there were some more details written on the investigation report, but at the same time, there was no mention of the beast bead-after all, this was considered to be a general knowledge that everyone knew.

"This is a scum male who had an extramarital affair, and the mistress even gave birth to illegitimate children, ah!" Shu Shu suddenly sympathized with Synthia.

"This viscount is indeed immoral." Ian also commented after reading the information. The number of sub-beastmen in the Beastman Empire was less than that of the beastmen. Sub-beastmen whose husbands had an accident and chose to remarry were not few, and many beastmen would not care about this. After getting married, they would concentrate their thoughts and efforts on their sub-beastmen all the same. The viscount's way of handling matters would naturally be despised.

Anyway, although Ian found many more faults with the viscount, but he also wouldn't say much. It was because he had a bit of guilty conscience-his son had no beast bead, so in the future, when he was together with Shu Shu, he would not be able to give Shu Shu a child, and then Shu Shu's situation would be just like that of the viscount . . . .

"Shu Shu, since your classmate has arrived, would you like to go and chat with him?" Ian asked.

"Is it alright for me to go down?" Shu Shu inquired. He certainly wanted to go down and have fun.

"Just until it's your turn to appear. Once it's your turn, Edgar will come find you right away." Ian said.

"Okay!" Shu Shu showed a big smile and quickly rushed downstairs.

Edgar felt a little uneasy. He walked a few steps forward and had the surveillance cameras follow Shu Shu closely. Then, fixing his attention on the surveillance screen, he started to watch it.
