Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 48: A Daughter Is One’s Own, A Husband May Belong to Someone Else
Su Yun was about to check the situation on the Star Network when his roommate, Molto, finished his shower and pushed open the door from the next room.
With a careless tone, Molto said, "Yun bro, you’ve kept it so well hidden! That beautiful sister of yours is actually Commander Gu’s wife! Ah, my first love is over in an instant, but I’m totally convinced to lose to the Interstellar Federation’s number one commander."
It was only after he finished speaking that Molto noticed Su Man crying with red eyes at the end of the projection.
He shrugged, "Sorry, I didn’t know you were on a projection chat, we’ll talk later."
Molto muttered quietly as he wiped his dripping wet hair with a towel: This looks even uglier.
Su Man: "..."Coming back to his senses, Su Yun was extremely astonished!
He had no mood to listen to Su Man’s crying and whining anymore; after mentioning he had something to do, he cut off the connection with her.
Su Yun then turned around and tried to contact Su Wan.
Really, hadn’t Xiaowan said that Commander Gu wasn’t coming today?
When Su Wan saw the projection chat request from her older brother, the corners of her mouth lifted in a mocking curve.
Unlike her confused second brother, her sharp-witted eldest brother was not likely to be bewitched by Su Man’s teatime gossip.
He simply had transferred the affection he had for his sister to Su Man, not an unconditional trust in Su Man.
Su Yun appeared gentle and refined, but he was actually very utilitarian and shrewd.
Previously, his sister Su Wan had spent her days lying in a nutrition capsule, seemingly without any particular talent.
After waking up, she just stayed at home every day, living the life of a freeloader.
Perhaps her most outstanding achievement was being admitted to Empire University.
But Su Yun himself was a distinguished student at Empire University, and he even attended the most prestigious Military Academy.
So, to him, the fact that his sister Su Wan had been admitted to Empire University wasn’t considered particularly outstanding.
And now, his sister, whom he didn’t care much about, had transformed into the wife of the Federal Empire’s War God, Gu Jue!
Everything started to change.
Su Wan couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and directly declined the call.
She was busy with the manager Raul, settling the final details of the restaurant’s opening day.
Lin Ranyue was helping her on the side, and then she said excitedly, "Xiaowan, I heard from your grandfather that he wants to make you the successor to the Su Family’s restaurant?"
Su Wan nodded.
Lin Ranyue: "Then I’m absolutely delighted!"
Although her husband was disappointing, Lin Ranyue knew that the patriarch of the Su Family had a significant influence.
Moreover, this elder was someone who had a clear-cut view of things.
Xiaowan’s performance today was outstanding and won the recognition of the bigwigs in the catering industry.
It was well-deserved for Xiaowan to become the successor of the Su Family’s restaurant!
As Su Wan looked into her mother’s eyes, filled with genuine joy, she couldn’t help but find it both funny and moving.
"Mom, if I become the successor, dad will be out of a job; are you still happy?"
To call it unemployment was a bit of an exaggeration since the Su Family owned so many chain restaurants.
But there’s a difference between being in charge and stepping back.
Not to mention, Su Zhen wasn’t even fifty yet.
Lin Ranyue sneered, "What’s there to worry about? No matter what, my daughter is the one I gave birth to. But a husband is different; who knows, one day he might become someone else’s!"
Lin Ranyue’s family was from the Second Star Area, and they were well-off.
Everyone in her family loved the dishes from the Su Family’s restaurant, and because they had business dealings with the Su Family, the marriage between the two was arranged.
Lin Ranyue herself had a very good impression of the young and capable Su Zhen, who was rational and steady in handling affairs.
Although she knew that he had a first love, that first love ran away with someone else, abandoning Su Zhen, Lin Ranyue didn’t think much of it.
Later, when their Xiaowan had an accident and fell into a coma, at that time Su Zhen brought back a little girl who was only half a year younger than Xiaowan.
Lin Ranyue simply conducted a DNA test, and after confirming that the girl was not Su Zhen’s biological daughter, didn’t make any issue of it.
After all, that woman was going to be in prison for thirty years.
But now Lin Ranyue finally understood, was her magnanimity and forbearance making Su Zhen think she was easy to bully?
And letting that mother and daughter think they still had a chance?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
Su Wan tenderly stretched out her hand and hugged her mother.
"Mom, don’t be angry, you’re not pretty when you’re angry."
"Not angry, not worth it for Su Zhen," Lin Ranyue said reflectively, "Now that I think about it, it doesn’t feel so bad anymore. Daughters are better, always knowing how to be considerate of their mom. Look at your two brothers, sigh, they’re just two heartless scoundrels!"
Just thinking about her two sons being so good to Xiaoman made Lin Ranyue very angry.
She wished she could take them back into her womb.
Actually, Su Wan wasn’t too worried about what Su Yun said, her astute older brother might not support that mother and daughter in taking away their father.
It was that foolish second brother of hers who was too easy to believe in Su Man!
Sure enough, after Su Yun broke off contact, Su Ni chatted with Su Man for quite a while, and as soon as the call ended, he immediately barked orders for his manager to arrange a spacecraft for him.
Su Ni’s manager was named Cecilia, a woman with long, straight black hair.
This year she was twenty-eight, three years older than Su Ni.
At the age of twenty, Cecilia was assigned a detestable man, and then she fought with him, crippling the other party.
As a result, Cecilia spent five years in prison.
After five years, she came out and, with her remarkably strong personal abilities, became a top manager in the entertainment industry.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, her face stern: "You want to go home?"
Su Ni looked blusterous, but he was actually a bit afraid of Cecilia.
"I, I’m going back to properly teach Xiaowan a lesson! She’s getting too bold, even trying to kill someone!"
Remembering the red mark on Su Man’s neck made Su Ni feel very hurt.
Cecilia pulled up her holographic computer and said coldly, "In one hour, you must be on a spaceship heading to Blue River Star for location shooting. In thirty hours, you must go to District Seven for a charitable event. In sixty hours, you must join the cast and start shooting for the new drama."
Su Ni visibly wilted, "My sister, you’re going to drain me dry!"
Cecilia: "Not at all, your potential is limitless. So, you don’t have time to go home, I’ll give you twenty minutes to set up a projection communication with your sister."
Su Ni pouted, muttering that she was too harsh, but in the end, he gave up on the idea of going home and dialed Su Wan’s communication.
As expected, Su Wan ignored him once again.
With just a thought, Su Wan knew that this silly second brother was coming to demand an explanation.
She indeed had hit Su Man, which was undeniable.
But what of it?
Su Man totally deserved it, she should be hit!
Before leaving the restaurant, in front of the whole family, Su Wan boldly said, "Grandpa, since I am to be the next successor, there’s something I want to do right now."
The old master leisurely sipped his tea.
With a successor in place, his mood was incredibly light and pleasant.
Moreover, he had a pretty good idea of what Su Wan was about to say.
And, he did not intend to stop her.
So the old master looked up: "What is it?"
