Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 36: Pink First Love

Luo Manya had a favorable impression of Su Wan.

She spoke doubtfully, "That shouldn’t be the case. I find that Su Wan has a very nice personality. Even though my sister can sometimes be a bit hot-tempered, she has also praised Su Wan, saying she is a good person."

Gu Zilan replied, "Su Wan may be easy-going, but my uncle is an ice-cold man and very difficult to get along with! Look, in such a short time, he has already upset her so much that she won’t even come home!"

Luo Manya said, "Then you should still help out and give them some advice. After all these years, it’s not easy for my uncle to have finally found a companion."

The company of family is ultimately different from the daily companionship of a spouse.

Gu Zilan thought so too, and he had already investigated Su Wan’s background.

Apart from having been seriously injured and fallen into a coma before, possibly leading to her not being in the best of health, there were no other faults.

Although the Su Family was only an aristocracy of the Third Star District, if my uncle is satisfied with this wife, then there should be no problem.

So after thinking it over, Gu Zilan gave his uncle some tactics.

Gu Zilan: "Pleasing a woman is simple, give her flowers, beautiful jewelry, and clothes."

Gu Zilan: "If all else fails, just kiss her!"

Upon receiving his message, Gu Jue’s lips twitched.

Those answers obviously didn’t sound reliable!

**

By seven o’clock in the evening, Su Wan had finally finished organizing all the materials.

She drafted the preliminary steps for the opening ceremony, but some parts still needed modifications.

Especially this menu.

The tastes and spending levels of the average residents in the First Star District were easy to find.

But information about the Royals, aristocrats, and military bigwigs was much harder to come by.

These details were encrypted, and obviously, special channels would be needed to obtain them.

Su Man had just come out from the kitchen and, wiping her hands, she smiled and said, "Sister, preparing for the opening ceremony is quite troublesome, isn’t it?"

"Yes, it’s pretty troublesome."

"Then do you need my help to share the burden?"

Su Wan looked up, smiling, "Sure, you could pour me a cup of hot water."

The fake smile on Su Man’s face slowly faded away.

She sneered, "Su Wan, you won’t outdo me, so you might as well give up. Although the old man seems to be supporting you for now, if you mess up this opening ceremony, even he won’t be able to protect you. I am more suitable than you to manage this branch!"

Su Wan moved her slightly sore wrist nonchalantly and said, "You’re speaking too confidently. Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue?"

"You’re just twisting facts to suit your purpose. After all, over these years, if you weren’t lying in a nutrition capsule, you were at home recuperating, whereas I have worked so hard and put in so much effort, and you definitely can’t compare to me!"

Su Wan smiled faintly, "What effort have you made? To fawn over the Su Family members, to get them to care about you, to treat you well? Don’t think that everyone is a fool, easily deceived. And the fool who is successfully deceived by you is utterly useless."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Could it be that your mother is coming back, so you’ve been anxious lately?"

At that, Su Man’s expression instantly darkened.

Su Man’s mother, Du Weiwei, was Su Zhen’s first love, and they had intended to marry.

But an accident occurred on the eve of their wedding.

Suddenly, Du Weiwei ran off with a man from an Outer Star Domain, although she later claimed she had been kidnapped.

The truth remained unknown, but a few years later, when Du Weiwei returned, she brought Su Man with her.

Although the reason was unclear, Du Weiwei was found guilty by the Interstellar Court, imprisoned in the Interstellar Prison, and then Su Zhen adopted Su Man.

Now, Du Weiwei was about to be released.

Su Man was so eager to gain control of the Su Family restaurant, and when all these events were linked together, it seemed increasingly suspicious.

Su Man clenched the menu in her hand, "Su Wan, you don’t have to bring up my mother’s issue, just wait and see if you can invite Commander Gu on your opening day. Your wedding to him is quite bewildering, isn’t it?"

"I married him, and I should thank you for that, shouldn’t I? If you hadn’t interfered and stopped Huo Yichang, would I have married Commander Gu?"

Su Man’s gaze grew even darker.

Whenever she thought about this matter, she was overwhelmed with frustration, as if her own leg had been pointlessly broken!

The atmosphere between the two was as tense as drawn swords, and similarly, the atmosphere at the entrance of Su Family restaurant seemed a bit peculiar.

Two flying vehicles parked there, one emblazoned with the Huo Family emblem, the other... was a military craft.

Dressed in a dark blue military uniform, his long legs encased in army boots, he was quite intimidating.

Yet this cool and aloof Commander held a bunch of delicate red roses in his hand.

Huo Yichang, too, had dressed up significantly, and in his hand, he also had a bunch of roses, pink ones.

White Tiger whispered to Gu Jue through the earpiece, "Master! Pink roses mean first love! This Huo Yichang is trying to encroach on your territory!"

Su Wan was Huo Yichang’s first love.

So this bunch of pink roses...

Gu Jue looked at Huo Yichang indifferently, his eyes calm and undisturbed, yet even so, he exuded a tremendous intimidating force.

Not to mention the invisible aura of a killer, which he had developed after many battles.

Huo Yichang’s legs went weak, his palms sweating.

He spoke respectfully, "Commander Gu, hello."

"What are you doing here?"

"I... I came to see Su Man."

Hearing that he was there for Su Man, the cutting chill on Gu Jue’s face diminished slightly, and he turned and strode in with his long legs.

Huo Yichang clenched the bunch of roses so tightly that his fingers were pricked by the thorns.

White Tiger continued to chatter quietly into Gu Jue’s ear, "I swear on the name of Bai Ze’s mainframe, Huo Yichang is definitely here for the lady! Luckily, you arrived early, Master! Otherwise, this wall-crawler would have had the chance to show off in front of the lady!"

Gu Jue’s lips curved slightly, he didn’t take Huo Yichang, this rival, seriously at all.

It was Huo Yichang who missed the wedding, causing Su Wan to almost be randomly assigned to marry another man.

For Gu Jue now, the troublesome issue was how to take Su Wan back home with him.

And at this time, Su Man was coldly sneering, "Do you know, Su Wan, dad suggested I marry Brother Huo, but I refused. Actually, I never liked him. He’s the kind of person who will never say no if you act coquettishly and ask him for something. But do you know? The person he truly loves in his heart is still you. Yet you’ve already married Commander Gu, Su Wan, does that upset you?"

Su Wan didn’t take Su Man’s verbal attack seriously at all.

Just as she was about to retort, she saw two people enter through the door, one after another.

One was her legal husband, Commander Gu.

And right behind Gui Jue was her former fiancé, Huo Yichang.

Oh, now things were getting interesting.

Unaware of the new arrivals since she had her back to the door, Su Man sneered in triumph, "What’s wrong, Su Wan? Why aren’t you speaking? Could it be that you’re so upset you don’t know what to say?"
