Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 34 Shock! The Owner of the House Actually Did Such a Thing!
The cold Commander Gu stood up and said to everyone, "Carry out the orders I just gave, meeting adjourned!"
Immediately, everyone nodded, picked up their belongings in unison, and turned to head outside.
Eric hurried a few steps to catch up with Li Rui, flipping his blond hair, "Li Rui, do you think it was Mrs. Gu who called the Commander?"
Li Rui’s face was expressionless: "I don’t know. If you want to know, you can ask the Commander yourself."
The expression on Eric’s face collapsed instantly.
He didn’t have the guts.
At this moment, the feared Commander himself was sitting in his private lounge, taking off his military cap and placing it on the table.
He connected to the projection on the White Tiger aircraft and immediately saw his pretty and delicate little wife sitting in the aircraft’s seat.
Su Wan was wondering if her father was going to bring up the issue of managing the branch again.
Suddenly, a handsome face appeared on the video screen, startling her!
"Comma, Commander, weren’t you in a meeting?"
"It’s over," Gu Jue looked at her instinctively sitting up straight, feeling that the young girl was still very afraid of him, and he frowned slightly.
This person projected into the video, not speaking, with a handsome and cool face, Su Wan felt as if the air in the entire aircraft had become thinner as well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
It’s strange, that face is clearly Ajue.
But Su Wan was inexplicably a little afraid of him.
Gathering her thoughts, Su Wan took the initiative and said, "Commander Gu, I heard White Tiger say that you want me to move over?"
"We’re married."
"...But I, I still have to go to school."
"You can take the aircraft to school when it’s time. If needed, you can occasionally stay in the dormitory."
Su Wan was startled, always feeling that something was a bit off!
Looking at the man in the projection wearing a military uniform, with a face of indifference, she bit her lip and said, "Commander Gu, is the reason you’re against a divorce, and now asking me to move in, because of your Manic-Depressive Period?"
Although a bit apprehensive of Gu Jue, Su Wan still planned to have a clear and straightforward talk.
If the initial marriage mishap was due to her being momentarily seduced, then the subsequent interactions between the two needed to be clarified.
She didn’t want to unclearly become someone’s exclusive medicine!
The scene on the other side of the projection seemed to freeze, and for a moment Su Wan wondered if it was a signal issue.
Then the next moment, there were several crackling sounds, and the communication was interrupted just like that?!
Su Wan: ???
"White Tiger, White Tiger, what’s going on?"
At this time, White Tiger was extremely vexed, it hadn’t expected that its master would do such a thing!
Pretend to lose connection?!
As the AI with the most stable data information in the entire Federal Empire, could it take the blame for this?
It could...
White Tiger: "I’m sorry, madam, there was a strong signal interference just now, so it was interrupted. If you have something for the Commander, shall I connect you again?"
Su Wan nodded, "Connect."
But a minute later, White Tiger regretfully said, "The Commander was on a break just then; he’s gone back to a meeting now. Shall we wait for him to finish and then get him back on, is that okay?"
Su Wan felt something was amiss, but Gu Jue was certainly very busy with countless matters; she couldn’t very well fuss over it.
And at this time, the aircraft had already stopped at the front door of the Su Family restaurant, and White Tiger looked at her expectantly, "Madam, when should I come to pick you up?"
"Wait for the Commander’s communication to connect again before discussing."
"..." White Tiger used its highly intelligent thought processes to analyze the situation and came to a conclusion.
That is, the lady very likely saw through the lies of the house’s master!
In fact, Su Wan also roughly guessed that Gu Jue didn’t really want to answer her question.
But she didn’t regret asking it.
Furthermore, after voicing the doubts in her heart, Su Wan felt much more relaxed.
She walked with an easy gait into the soon-to-be-opened Su Family Restaurant.
The Su Family Restaurant specialized in rare dishes from Ancient Earth, so the decor was inspired by the architectural style of Ancient Earth as depicted in the literature.
Red walls and green tiles, wooden tables and chairs, and ancient paintings hung on the walls, with various porcelain vases placed on the cabinets.
The décor style was consistent across the franchise in different regions.
So, the well-known patrons who came not only got to taste a variety of delicious dishes but also enjoyed the architectural style of Ancient Earth, making their Star Coins well spent.
Su Wan walked through the lobby, past the long corridor, and directly into the small lounge at the back.
Old Master Su sat in an armchair sipping tea, while Su Zhen and a man in a white suit sat in chairs alongside, deep in conversation.
Su Man stood obediently by their side, occasionally refilling their teacups with tea.
The man in the white suit was named Su Teng, Su Zhen’s cousin and Su Wan’s young uncle.
Su Teng, thirty-five this year, had never married; he was passionate about cooking to the point of obsession with researching recipes.
Now, many of the chefs in Su Family Restaurant were his disciples.
Su Wan also knew that Su Teng greatly admired Su Man, considering her to be intelligent and even wanting to take her as an apprentice to teach her cooking.
After all, these past years Su Man had been active within the Su Family Restaurant, establishing her own network of contacts.
Such zeal from an adopted daughter, and only her father, Su Zhen, was foolish enough to not see through Su Man’s ambition.
"Grandfather, Father, Uncle," Su Wan walked in and greeted her elders with propriety.
She glanced at Su Man.
Seeing the expressions on her father and the others, she guessed the complaint had likely already been made.
Sure enough, Su Zhen frowned and said, "Xiaowan, didn’t I send you a message to come right after school, why have you only just arrived? You said you wanted to manage the branch, but with such laxity, how are you going to manage anything?"
Su Wan widened her beautiful eyes, "Ah, it’s because Su Man didn’t wait for me. I struggled to catch another flyer to come here."
Su Man immediately said with an aggrieved tone, "Sister, I went looking for you to ask when your class ends so we could come together, but you completely ignored me, closed the door right in my face and even hit my nose."
As she spoke, she rubbed her nose tip as if it had really been hurt by the door.
Su Wan blinked, "I recall your nose isn’t fake, right? Did it get knocked askew or what?"
"...No."
"Good if it’s not crooked, mainly because I thought you had left after we finished talking, but I didn’t expect you were still standing there."
The corner of Su Man’s mouth twitched.
Su Zhen frowned, "Xiaowan, how come I heard that you didn’t return to the dormitory last night, you weren’t there. Where did you go off to play? You came to Empire University to study, not to mess around!"
Su Wan gave a light laugh, "Heh, Su Man was really quick to tattle, huh? But are you sure you want to know where I went last night?"
Su Man suddenly felt somewhat uneasy.
However, Su Teng said from the side, "Xiaowan, why all the secrecy? What is it that we, your elders, shouldn’t know about?"
Old Master Su, however, said nothing and sipped his tea leisurely.
Su Wan looked at them and said quite naturally, "Oh, I went to the Imperial Palace to visit His Majesty and the Empress last night."
Su Teng: ...
Su Zhen: ???
Su Man: !!!
