Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 18 I Wouldn’t Allow It If It Were Actually Good
Su Wan sighed after listening.
"Dad, you really can’t blame this on me. Xiaoman and Huo Yichang, the two of them are truly in love. I only married someone else on a whim to make things work out for them! Ah, it’s one thing if others can’t understand my intentions, but how could you misunderstand me like this? Xiaoman is so pitiable, I want her to be with the person she loves, what’s wrong with that? Even though I lost face, I couldn’t let Xiaoman lose her love."
Su Zhen was stunned.
Old Master Su gave his granddaughter a meaningful glance.
It took Su Zhen a while to regain his composure, and then he said, "Is that true?"
Su Wan immediately nodded, "Of course! Xiaoman has liked Huo Yichang for a long time, but because there was a marriage arrangement between me and Huo Yichang, she had to hide her feelings. And when Xiaoman was in danger, Huo Yichang didn’t hesitate to risk everything to save her. Isn’t that true love? I was so moved by them that I wanted them to be together!"
Su Zhen got caught up in her words, "So, the two of them really love each other?"
"Mhm, so let Xiaoman marry Huo Yichang. This way, you get two birds with one stone: Xiaoman marries for love, and the relationship between our two families can continue. As for me, a little mistreatment doesn’t matter, after all, Xiaoman is my sister." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Watching the emotions in his daughter’s eyes, Su Zhen suddenly realized that he had been misjudging her all along.
He said, "Xiaowan, I’m sorry, I’ve been blaming you all this time! I’ll go speak with the Huo Family right away."
Su Wan’s eyes reddened as she nodded, "Go ahead, don’t let it affect our family’s business. Also, Xiaoman might be a bit shy; she doesn’t want me to sacrifice for her. When the time comes, Dad, it might be best to set their marriage first, then inform Xiaoman afterwards. She will definitely be touched to tears."
"Alright."
Su Zhen hurried off.
Su Wan calmly wiped away the tear at the corner of her eye.
Old Master Su smirked and teased, "Wan girl, are you really willing to give him away?"
Su Wan replied, "If he were any good, I wouldn’t let him go. He’s just a rotten potato. But whether Huo Yichang will marry Su Man or not is still uncertain. The Huo Family has finally found an opportunity and might not give up so easily, we still need to prepare for both outcomes."
"Uh-huh, you should contact that important person as soon as possible."
"...Okay."
When Su Wan returned to her room, she put her hands together in prayer, "I hope I’m overthinking this and that the important person has no connection whatsoever with Gu Jue!"
Xiaobai didn’t understand, "Master, wouldn’t it be easier for you to get help if they are connected?"
Su Wan sighed, "But now I don’t know whether I am a friend or foe in Gu Jue’s eyes."
Xiaobai: "Friend or foe? Aren’t you his wife?"
Su Wan speechless, "It’s no use explaining this to you, a single AI brain. Anyway, there’s no time to delay. I need to address the fruit and vegetable issue first."
If they waited for the Huo Family to make a move first, they would be at a disadvantage!
Then Su Wan dialed the number her grandfather had given her.
Gu Jue, who was in a meeting, swept his icy gaze over everyone.
"The recent attack proves that there are problems inside all ten of our districts. Going forward, everyone will be in charge of one district and must conduct thorough screenings. The spy is definitely among us! If you don’t find them, nobody gets any rest!"
"Yes!" The people nodded solemnly.
The enemy had even reached into the heart of their ten districts; if not purged, nobody could rest easy!
Just then, Gu Jue’s communicator went off, and he frowned slightly, looking displeased.
