Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 41 What bad things did Su Man say about me?
Su Family’s patriarch didn’t quite believe Su Wan’s words.
No matter what, the influence of Su Yun and Su Ni was best to be used, and they were both very effective.
But since the patriarch intended to train Su Wan, he had no choice but to trust her at this moment.
In the end, he nodded, "Alright, I look forward to it."
"Grandpa, I won’t let you down."
Su Wan still needed to go over the guest list for the opening ceremony, and just then Luo Jina made a call to her.
"Su Wan, my sister will come tomorrow as well, but she doesn’t want to attract too much attention, so keep a low-key private room for us. However, I still like the lively atmosphere, so don’t put us in a too secluded spot."
"No problem," Su Wan immediately agreed and then thought for a moment, "By the way, if you don’t have anyone else, Sheng An will be there alone, can I let her share a private room with you?"
"I don’t mind, but are you sure she won’t be frightened?"
Luo Jina didn’t mean anything else, but her sister was, after all, the Empress of the Federal Empire.
She was a bit worried that her roommate from District 10 might get so nervous that she wouldn’t be able to hold a cup steady when the time came.
Su Wan said: "If you have no objections, I will ask Sheng An later."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
After cutting off the communication, Su Wan crossed her arms and placed them on the table. She was about to call Sheng An when her second brother Su Ni sent a projection directly to her.
Once the projection connected, the figure of Su Ni, who was styling his hair, appeared in mid-air.
Different from the refined and handsome appearance of big brother Su Yun, Su Ni had blonde hair and blue eyes, with features that were somewhat androgynous.
If he dressed as a woman, standing next to Su Wan, it would make people mistaken them for sisters.
Well, how should she put it, Su Wan also knew that this second brother meant no harm, but he had a sharp tongue and was also foolish, believing whatever Su Man told him.
How could fans like such a silly idol?
"Xiaowan, did big brother also refuse to come tomorrow? Are you worried sick? Let me tell you, you should just give up competing with Xiaoman; she’s more suitable to manage this branch than you."
Su Wan lifted her head, showing a lazy smile, "Did she talk bad about me to you as well?"
"Xiaoman didn’t talk bad about you... huh, how did you know she came to me?"
Su Wan just smiled with a lift of her lips.
Wasn’t it obvious?
Su Man did not want the opening ceremony hosted by Su Wan to be a success, but she dared not tamper with the food.
Damaging the reputation of the Su Family’s restaurant would also not be in her interest.
So, Su Man would definitely go to Su Yun and Su Ni to enact a sob story, asking these two brothers not to come and support Su Wan.
Besides, because Gu Jue was busy with official business and went to another planet, he couldn’t make it back in time to support Su Wan.
Normally, if the restaurant’s opening could invite more influential people, the effect would undoubtedly be better.
Su Man just wanted to see Su Wan fall flat on her face.
Su Ni said somewhat irritably, "Xiaowan, why do you have to compete with Xiaoman? Look at you, you have everything, happiness; but she has nothing."
"No, you’re wrong. Right now, I only have a mother, but she, Su Man, has a father and two brothers," Su Wan retorted without any politeness and directly cut off the projection.
She rubbed her temples in exasperation, "What kind of nonsense has Su Man been feeding them?"
Xiaobai spoke up, "Master, are you asking me?"
"Forget it, you wouldn’t know even if I asked. Send a message to Sheng An to ask her if she’d like to share a private room with the Empress and her sister."
"Yes, master."
The message was sent, but as expected, it sank without a trace, and there was no response for a long time.
Sheng An came from District Ten, and because of public perception, she had always been very sensitive and a bit inferior deep down.
Yet she was also an exceptionally intelligent and hardworking girl.
Su Wan was still very fond of this roommate, and she directly dialed Sheng An’s communication.
Sheng An answered immediately, but her voice sounded a bit unnatural, "Su Wan, what’s happened?"
"Oh, you might not have seen the message I sent you. Tomorrow, Jina and her sister, the Empress, have a private room. If you’re not bringing other friends, you can join them in their room. Or else, I can arrange another place for you."
"...I’m sorry, Su Wan, am I being a bother? You must be very busy today. Maybe I shouldn’t go after all."
Sheng An always felt that even Su Wan’s world was incompatible with hers.
Not to mention the world of Jina and her Empress sister.
Su Wan walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the spiraling flight paths outside.
She said with a smile, "It’s no trouble. You’re my friend after all."
"Friend..." Sheng An murmured these two words to herself.
Though they were simply two ordinary words, they felt incredibly heavy to her.
Su Wan said, "The Empress is a very gentle person, easy to get along with. Sheng An, you are also a good person. I’ve always thought highly of you."
Her gentle words were carefully protecting Sheng An’s self-esteem. At the same time, she hoped Sheng An could shed those binding shackles and work hard to pull herself into the sunshine.
Such a warmhearted friend was simply too precious.
Sheng An did not speak right away.
Su Wan wasn’t in a hurry either, squinting as she admired the stars outside the window.
After a while, Sheng An said in a soft voice, "Okay, I’ll join Jina and the others tomorrow."
"That’s settled then. I have some things to attend to, so see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Su Wan cut the communication on her end, turned around, and saw her mother, Lin Ranyue, carrying a glass of milk as she walked in.
Lin Ranyue had been visiting friends these past few days, so mother and daughter hadn’t seen each other.
She handed the warm milk to her daughter and said angrily, "I just heard that Xiaoyun and Xiaoni are not coming to support the event tomorrow?"
"It’s fine, Mom. They’re not important."
"I’m starting to wonder if they were even born to me!"
Listening to her mother say such a thing, Su Wan couldn’t help but cry and laugh.
She said, "Mom, it’s actually not hard to understand. Big brother has never cared about the restaurant’s affairs. As for the second brother, he is just a fool who has been used by Su Man as a pawn."
"Why does that little temptress appear everywhere lately? She’s been so lively these days!"
Lin Ranyue could not understand. When Su Man was first brought home, she was a very sensible and well-behaved girl.
Su Wan finished the milk and placed the glass cup on the coffee table.
She said, "Maybe it’s because Du Weiwei is about to be released from prison, and Su Man is worried since Grandpa wants to give me the management rights to the branch store."
In a way, the management of First District of the Su Family Restaurant symbolized the management of the entire Su Family Restaurant.
How could Su Man, who had always been coveting the Su Family Restaurant, not be anxious?
Lin Ranyue suddenly looked up, "Du Weiwei is about to be released from prison? Wasn’t she sentenced to thirty years before?"
