Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 14 Grandpa, We Might Not Be Able to Afford to Keep Him
Su Wan’s mind flashed with the image of Ajue crying while kissing her, causing her ears to burn.
She whispered, "I like him."
It was just a pity, liking him was futile.
The Su family patriarch observed his granddaughter’s eyes and realized she truly liked the person in question, but since she did not reveal his identity, he tentatively asked, "Is it that the conditions of the other party aren’t presentable, that you’ll have to support him in the future?"
Su Wan: "..."
My dear grandfather, it’s not that his identity isn’t presentable.
It’s that he’s of such high profile that a single cough from him could bring our family restaurant crashing down!
Feeling very complicated, Su Wan had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
The Su family patriarch, however, smiled calmly and confidently said, "That’s not a big problem, our Su Family can certainly support him."
Su Wan: "..."
Grandfather, you’re too confident!
Even if the Su Family were rich, they couldn’t afford to support the number one Commander of the Interstellar!
The Su family patriarch didn’t bring up the matter again; instead, he took another sip of tea and said, "Our Su Family is going to open a branch in the first district, and if nothing goes wrong, the branch in the first district might be the largest of all. In a while, you and Su Man will both go to Empire University for your studies; your father intends for her to take over and learn the business."
When the old patriarch said this, he was watching Su Wan’s expression.
Su Wan remained unflustered, only asking calmly, "And his reasons?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Your health isn’t good, and then there’s Su Man who is meticulous and dependable in her work."
Su Wan smiled, "That does sound like something my dad would say. Grandfather, what do you think?"
His granddaughter’s consistent composure reassured the Su family patriarch.
He had actually been observing his granddaughter for quite some time. Previously, she indeed had poor health, having been in a coma for five full years, and afterwards, this girl had always stayed at home, seemingly uninterested in worldly affairs.
The eldest grandson would later join the military department, the second grandson loved to sing, mixing all day with the entertainment industry, and that Su Man...
The Su family patriarch put the empty teacup in front of Su Wan and said, "That girl Xiaoman is indeed not bad, but this restaurant belongs to the Su Family."
The implication was clear—he could pamper you, support you, and treat you well.
But the Su Family restaurant was off-limits for a foster daughter like you.
Su Wan was a bit surprised but felt it made sense.
Her grandfather saw things much more clearly than her father Su Zhen; otherwise, the Su Family restaurant wouldn’t have been expanded across several districts.
Su Wan smiled: "Grandfather, if you entrust the first district branch to me, I certainly won’t let you down."
"Great, Xiaowan, I’m looking forward to your performance."
When Su Wan left her grandfather’s study, she felt relieved all over.
She had known before that her father was biased, but fortunately, her grandfather was on her side.
However, the thought of Gu Jue gave her a headache again.
Glancing at her personal information on the light computer, with the spouse’s name next to hers, Su Wan felt the clouds of gloom gather over her.
This was serious trouble!
Without a single message from the other party, Su Wan felt as though there was a Sword of Damocles hanging over her head.
It was distressingly unsettling.
Just then, the light computer suddenly beeped, startling Su Wan.
She thought it was Gu Jue calling!
Su Wan hurried into her room, closed the door, and then checked the light computer.
But seeing the name, her expression instantly turned cold.
Then she pressed to dismiss the call without expression.
Because it was Huo Yichang calling.
Su Wan was now thinking about Gu Jue, about starting school, and also about opening a branch in the first district.
Where did she have the time to deal with such a scumbag potato!
However, Huo Yichang seemed particularly persistent, incessantly trying to reach her through calls.
After noticing Su Wan wasn’t answering, he sent a message.
Huo Yichang: Xiaowan, please answer the communication; it’s about your family restaurant.
