Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 17: Dreaming that Ajue Intends to Strangle Her with His Tail
"It’s possible, but I’ve thought it over, Xiaoman, since Huo Yichang saved you this time, shouldn’t you marry him in return? Otherwise, how about you marry him? That way, our two families can still maintain a good relationship, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?"
Looking at the sincere smile on Su Wan’s face, Su Man stepped back twice.
Why wasn’t the script unfolding as she had imagined?!
Su Wan should have been infuriated, scolding and hitting her, prompting outrage from the Su Family.
Then the Su Family would condemn Su Wan together, right?
Seeing the sisterly affection in Su Wan’s eyes, Su Man was completely stunned, unsure of what to say.
In the end, it was because her leg was too painful that she was helped back to her room.
After Su Man left, Su Wan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile, then she turned and went to Grandpa’s study.
"Grandpa, will the Huo Family make things difficult for our family?"
Over the years, the Su and Huo families have cooperated, mutually benefiting each other. However, in reality, the Su Family has been the most profitable, having monopolized the entire Interstellar Federation’s catering industry.
Transportation? The profits were less than a third of the Su Family’s.
Over time, if someone ambitious emerged in the Huo Family, they would naturally be discontent, so this wedding was actually them indulging Huo Yichang’s mistake, testing the Su Family.
Old Master Su certainly understood his old friend’s character the best. He asked Su Wan, "If they really cut off our fruit and vegetable supply, what does Xiaowan think we should do?"
"We should make multiple preparations in advance to avoid being completely controlled by them. I heard from my dad that once, a transportation spacecraft was intercepted by a Star Thief, and later, it was a prominent figure who helped resolve the fruit and vegetable issue. Grandpa, can we find that prominent figure to help us again?"
In the two years since Su Wan had recovered, although she stayed at home, she wasn’t idle.
She naturally came to understand every major event that had occurred in the family over those five years.
So she was aware of this incident.
Old Master Su stroked his chin and finally said, "I’m not sure why that prominent figure wanted to help us. I only know that he holds a position at the Imperial Palace, but I’m not aware of the specifics of his job, only a contact method."
Imperial, Imperial Palace?
Nowadays, whenever Su Wan heard the term ’Imperial Palace’, she couldn’t help but think of Gu Jue.
She even had nightmares at night, dreaming of the soft and adorable Ajue, blushing while kissing her, and the next moment trying to strangle her with his tail!
Of course, Old Master Su had no idea that Su Wan was recalling last night’s nightmare; he continued, "Since the person is a prominent figure at the Imperial Palace, we can’t be sure if he can help. I’ll give you the contact details, and you’ll be responsible for this matter."
Su Wan fell silent for a moment and then nodded her head.
However, holding that contact number felt a bit like a hot potato.
She hoped she was overthinking, and this prominent figure from the Imperial Palace had nothing to do with Gu Jue.
After the grandfather and granddaughter talked for a while, Su Zhen returned.
He had actually visited the injured Xiaoman first before rushing to find Su Wan.
"Xiaowan, come out, Dad has something to tell you!"
Realizing that this father favored other people’s daughters over his own, Su Wan didn’t care much for him anymore.
She spoke earnestly, "Dad, what do you have to say that you need to speak behind Grandpa’s back?"
Old Master Su looked at his son with a detached expression.
Su Zhen choked up, finding himself unable to insist on taking Su Wan outside anymore.
He frowned and said, "Isn’t it because of the trouble you caused! It wasn’t on purpose that Huo Yichang didn’t show up that day, and he even pleaded with you, why didn’t you forgive him? Now look, the Huo Family is reconsidering our cooperation!"
