Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 124 The Commander is Quite Easy to Placate
Du Weiwei’s voice was very gentle.
"Xiaoman, in one’s lifetime, one is bound to encounter many setbacks. But one setback does not mean we have lost. Do you understand what Mommy is saying?"
"Mom, don’t worry, I understand. And I will definitely not be worse than Su Wan!"
From the day Su Man entered the Su Family, she had wanted to compete with the Su Family’s little princess, Su Wan.
At that time, Su Wan was lying in the healing pod, half-dead.
Every night, Su Man would pray that Su Wan would just die.
That way, she would become the one and only little princess of the Su Family!
However, Su Wan eventually woke up and became healthier day by day, which greatly disappointed Su Man.
After ending the call with her mother, Su Man looked at herself in the mirror. Her originally gentle features became somewhat twisted.
"Su Wan, why won’t you just die?"
If Su Wan hadn’t woken up, then perhaps she would have been the only little princess of the Su Family.
And the one to marry Commander Gu, would it have been her?

Just after school was let out, Su Wan waited at the school gate for the aircraft, and sneezed.
She rubbed her nose. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Someone must be cursing her.
Xiaobai considerately asked, "Master, are you catching a cold?"
Su Wan sniffled, "Are you also telling me to drink some hot water? I should ask Ajue later if he can upgrade you. This system of yours is not smart enough, like a doctor who can’t cure diseases, asking where the body feels uncomfortable, wanting to know what medicine to buy. It’s totally useless."
Xiaobai fell silent.
It was at this moment that Huo Yichang approached Su Wan.
He was actually quite conflicted. After all, he had sworn that until Su Wan and the Commander were divorced, he would not bother Su Wan again.
But this time, it wasn’t bothering.
Su Wan ignored him and walked outside.
Seeing that Su Wan was ignoring him, Huo Yichang quickly walked a few steps to block her.
"Xiaowan, I’m looking for you this time for a business matter between our two families."
"A business matter? Is it about the compensation the Huo Family has to pay?"
Huo Yichang nodded, "Yes, Xiaowan, our family business is having cash flow problems right now, the financial situation isn’t great, and we’re going to have to sell off shares. Considering the many years our families have known each other, we will pay the compensation, but can we talk about it later?"
Now, no one in the Huo Family had expected that Su Wan would actually take charge of the Su Family Restaurant.
They all regretted their past decisions.
If they had supported Huo Yichang in marrying Su Wan in the past, wouldn’t the Su Family Restaurant be theirs now?
But regret was useless now; Su Wan had already married Commander Gu.
All they could do was play the emotional card.
Hoping that Su Wan would show mercy, not press too hard, and leave some way out for others.
Su Wan looked at the pain and conflict in the depths of Huo Yichang’s eyes and laughed.
"Huo Yichang, I hadn’t even thought about this matter until that day on the airship when your sister and mother’s words were too harsh. Before, they bullied me and for your sake, I didn’t hold it against them. But now, I have nothing to do with you, and they continue to bully me. Tell me, should I continue to bear it?"
Huo Yichang actually knew that his mother and sister had not spared Su Wan in the past.
He thought Su Wan had a good temper and that it wasn’t a big deal for the family to say a few words.
But now it was different, as the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
His face showed pain, "I know it’s their fault, I’ll have them come and apologize to you."
"Huo Yichang, when will you understand that in this world, there are many things for which an apology is useless."
The aircraft bearing the insignia of the Commander’s mansion slowly landed on the platform at the school gate.
Su Wan’s eyes lit up, and she walked a few steps towards the aircraft, then turned her head back.
"Huo Yichang, aside from promptly preparing to compensate us, your Huo Family should refrain from contemplating any other schemes. Should you entertain any other thoughts, I might suddenly recall some other matter, and that outcome is likely something your Huo Family wouldn’t want to see,"
the beautiful and radiant beauty said with a soft but resolute voice.
Huo Yichang found this Su Wan even more enchanting.
He wanted to say more, but seeing that Su Wan had already headed towards the flying apparatus of the First Commander’s mansion, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
He didn’t dare to come any closer.
On this end, Su Wan had assumed the flying apparatus came automatically, but when the hatch opened, the tall and imposing Commander stepped down.
Su Wan was stunned, "Ajue, why have you come?"
"To pick you up," Gu Jue said in an even tone, yet his gaze shifted past Su Wan to the man who was quickly walking away.
The man’s retreating figure looked quite disheveled.
The Commander’s deep eyes became dangerously narrow.
The next moment, his large hand was held by Su Wan’s smaller one.
Su Wan: "I’ve initiated a lawsuit against the Huo Family’s transportation company in the name of the Su Family’s restaurant. They breached the contract during the agreement period and cut off our family’s fruit and vegetable supply. This compensation is rightfully ours."
"However, the Huo Family is now facing a financial crisis, and Huo Yichang hopes I can temporarily refrain from giving the Huo Family a hard time."
"But, I, refused."
Su Wan earnestly explained the whole situation.
Then, she saw the icy frost in the Commander’s eyes slowly melt away.
She suddenly discovered that the great Commander was quite easy to appease.
It wasn’t long before the two of them arrived home.
When disembarking the flying apparatus, Su Wan asked, "Ajue, could you upgrade Xiaobai’s intelligence level?"
Previously, Xiaobai’s intelligence didn’t seem insufficient.
But compared to White Tiger, his IQ was instantly crushed.
Gu Jue: "Possible."
Su Wan smiled brightly, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed the corner of the great Commander’s mouth to express her gratitude.
Because she still remembered, the great Commander didn’t like her saying ’thank you.’
So she would express it through action instead.
But just as she finished the kiss, with her tiptoes still raised, Su Wan looked over the Commander’s shoulder to see several people standing at the door.
They looked at them with complex expressions.
Su Wan: "..."
She was so startled that she almost twisted her ankle, but it was Gu Jue who reached out to hold her waist.
Only then did she steady herself.
In a whisper, Su Wan said, "Why didn’t you tell me there were guests at home?"
Right after receiving a kiss from his sweet wife and being blamed, the great Commander helplessly replied, "They are here to help you with your spiritual power and soul power testing."
Su Wan: "..."
Oh right, she had forgotten about that.
At the door stood several medical personnel and Ouyang Qing, who was familiar to Su Wan.
And the man standing beside Ouyang Qing, with tender eyes and handsome features,
his smile revealed shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth.
For some reason, Su Wan felt a sense of familiarity.
Gu Jue, unlike his small wife who was a bit mortified, calmly said, "Xiaowan, you know Ouyang Qing. She will conduct the test with Mu Qingyu, so don’t worry. I will be by your side as well."
"Mu Qingyu?"
Su Wan looked again at the cultured man, and suddenly remembered the Director Mu she saw that day at the school gate with another young man.
She realized, "You must be a relative of Director Mu’s family, right?"
