Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 573 Su Man Was Ignored

Gu Lei’s polite smile had already faded from his face.

As Su Man was of the same generation as Su Wan, she should have called Gu Lei "Uncle," since Gu Lei was married to Lin Ranyue. But... Gu Lei still remembered how Su Man and her mother had done many things in the past that had hurt Lin Ranyue and caused Xiaowan to suffer.

Gu Lei truly had no good feelings towards Su Man.

However, with Commander Xi Le standing by, and considering the Insectoids had indeed maintained a good relationship with Landis Star over the years, there was no need to embarrass Su Man at this moment.

Thus, Gu Lei simply nodded without saying anything. It might have been a bit cold, but he gave face to Commander Xi Le.

By now, Su Man had developed a very strong mental resilience. She was definitely unhappy inside but did not show it. The group first went to the reception hall for a talk, then arranged accommodations for the ten students.

When Commander Xi Le and Su Man returned to their own rest room, Su Man sighed, "Su Wan is lucky, and so is her mother."

Who could have thought that despite both remarrying, Su Man’s mother Du Weiwei, who had remarried to Su Zhen, did not enjoy many good days after that.

On the other hand, Lin Ranyue remarried Mu Lei, who was just a department head at the time, and after getting married, she bore Mu Lei a son. After changing her name to Gu Lei, Gu Lei even went on to become the president of Empire University.

In comparison, it seems Lin Ranyue was indeed luckier than her mother Du Weiwei.

Commander Xi Le shook his head, "Why do you only see one side of the story? How did Lin Ranyue come to know Gu Lei? Also, if Su Wan had not married Gu Jue, many things might have changed."

Su Man was stunned and said unhappily, "Are you implying that Su Wan married better than I did, and that her mother is certainly more fortunate than mine?"

Commander Xi Le was somewhat speechless, "Do you feel aggrieved being with me?"

Su Man remained silent.

Commander Xi Le continued, "Haven’t you noticed the main point? From what I’ve heard, Su Wan and her mother have an excellent relationship, and over the years, whenever one of them has an issue, they help each other at the first opportunity. But you and your mother... The most I’ve heard is your complaints about your mother."

Su Wan and Lin Ranyue had a good mother-daughter relationship and would help each other out.

The relationship between Su Man and Du Weiwei, however, was quite similar to some extent; for each other, exploitation far outweighed kinship.

The simplest example was that when Du Weiwei died, Su Man was not very saddened but felt that her future path might become more difficult.

This was the crux of the problem.

Su Man’s face turned pale, and she finally muttered, "But my mother is gone now. Even if I wanted to fulfill my filial duties, there’s nowhere to fulfill them!"

Commander Xi Le actually liked Su Man, but he also knew her faults. Fortunately, she did not dare to do anything major, always under his control.

He reminded her, "There will be a banquet tonight, and you will meet Su Wan. I hope you remember what you’ve promised. You can get close to Su Wan, but don’t do anything else. If anything goes wrong, I won’t let you leave the Insectoid Planet for the rest of your life."

"I know."

Although Su Man wanted to gloat, she knew she depended on Commander Xi Le. If she really angered him, then she wouldn’t have anything left.

After relying on so many men, now only this "insect" remained. No matter what, she had to hold on to him tightly.

Su Wan also received the news that Su Man had come to Landis Star.

To tell the truth, Su Wan didn’t care much about Su Man anymore, but she still didn’t like her.

In a conversation, Lin Ranyue said anxiously, "Xiaowan, what do you think Su Man’s intentions are by coming at this time? Today, she even called you ’Uncle Lei.’ Gu Lei said that if it weren’t for the sake of the Insectoids, he would have wanted to embarrass her right then and there."

Su Wan imagined that scenario and found it quite funny, too. She spoke in a light tone, "No matter what Su Man comes here for, at the end of the day she can’t affect us. And now that the Insectoids and Landis Star have a good relationship, she wouldn’t dare do anything foolish. Of course, if she does dare, I will definitely strike back decisively."

Back then, when Su Wan had not yet evolved into a Beastman, she had never been afraid of Su Man. Whenever they clashed, the one who ended up losing was definitely Su Man.

Now, Su Wan herself was a high-level Beastman, and even without borrowing Gu Jue’s power, she possessed formidable strength.

In other words, Su Wan wasn’t afraid even when facing Commander Xi Le, let alone Su Man.

"Mom, don’t worry, this is our Landis Star, after all."

"I know, I’m just worried she might say something unpleasant."

"It’s fine, if she dares to speak out, the one who will be embarrassed is certainly her."

Su Wan had that kind of confidence!

Seeing her daughter so assured, Lin Ranyue felt at ease. After ending the communication, she was still a bit dazed.

In the blink of an eye, the matter of her divorce with Su Zhen had passed for over twenty years; her Xiaoluo was already so grown up.

"Time really flies," Lin Ranyue couldn’t help but sigh.

After the Insectoids arrived at Empire University, the students were all very curious, but they curbed their curiosity. In fact, most of them had seen Insectoids before, but never had they walked together in the campus like this.

But Gu Yan was eager to meet Brother Little Mushroom, and when she didn’t receive a reply to her messages, she thought about going out to look for him.

It was said that the Insectoid exchange students were distributed across several faculties.

Gu Yan had heard that Brother Little Mushroom had chosen the military academy, indeed, most Insectoids would opt for the military academy.

So, she decided to head to the military academy.

Vivian was actually a bit scared, she was already afraid of some of the male students from her own school, not to mention Insectoids!

But Gu Yan was a pure human; if she went alone and encountered trouble, what would she do?

Vivian finally gritted her teeth, adopting a resolute look, and said to Gu Yan with righteous indignation, "Xiaoyan, I’ll go with you!"

Gu Yan couldn’t help but smile and cry at the same time seeing her like this, but considering the other’s good intentions, she didn’t say much.

She would wait and ask Brother Little Mushroom to make amends in private later.

Since her mother wanted her to attend an evening banquet, she had to go early, so Gu Yan was in a hurry, dragging her friend along to the military academy.

The military academy was always known for having more males than females, and more Beastmen than pure humans.

And Gu Yan was too beautiful, too famous; her appearance almost instantly attracted a lot of attention.

It so happened that Lu Yu and Mu Feng were standing there talking when someone mentioned that the Gu Family’s young princess had arrived. Both of them looked up at the same time in the direction of Gu Yan.

However, when they realized what they’d done, they glanced at each other.
