Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 595: Who Will Take Care of Her Child!
But if all your abilities are truly your own strength, then no matter what unexpected events occur, your skills are something nobody can take away from you!
As for deceitful people like Su Man...
Su Ni said, "You might still encounter Su Man on some occasions. Don’t pay attention to her, every word she says to you has a purpose, an ulterior motive."
"I know, I never had much to do with her anyway. If I run into her, I won’t even bother with a greeting."
"Mhm."
Everyone has their own thoughts, and Su Wan returned to the military department unaffected by the incident, because Su Man wasn’t worth it. Now, it was Su Man who was eager to ingratiate herself and get close to Su Wan.
After dealing with things at the military department, Su Wan had lunch with Gu Jue and mentioned the situation, asking, "When are Xi Le and the others leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Finally, they’re leaving. That Su Man is so annoying. If she stays any longer, I won’t be able to stop myself from putting her in a sack and giving her a good thrashing one of these days."
Gu Jue looked at his wife, who was all puffed up with anger. They had been married for many years, and he rarely saw such lively expressions on her.
He laughed, "If you want, just go ahead and do it. It’s fine as long as you don’t beat her to death."
His tone was extremely indulgent.
Su Wan was actually just a bit annoyed by Su Man’s disgusting tricks, but she didn’t take the person seriously, saying, "Well, never mind. I heard that she’s had lots of plastic surgeries all over her body. Imagine if I disfigured her and left her face crooked—how scary would that be."
The two of them ended their conversation about Su Man there and talked about their children in military training instead. Mentioning their daughter Xiaoyan, Su Wan said contentedly, "Xiaoyan may not be very healthy, but she’s very hardworking. In the future, she should be able to take good care of herself."
Gu Jue: "Actually, it’s okay. No matter what, we can ensure her life goes smoothly."
When he and Wanwan grow old, there will still be Xiaochen and Xiaoyu. No matter what, they will take good care of Xiaoyan and prevent her from any harm.
In the following days, Su Man didn’t cause any more trouble, and finally, Xi Le and the group of Insectoids were ready to leave Landis Star.
They left two behind at Empire University, mainly to follow and monitor the ten exchange students.
One of the lead teachers was Lina, who was familiar with Su Wan; when she saw Su Wan, she greeted her very enthusiastically.
"Su Wan, the food at your family’s restaurant is so delicious! I don’t want to leave at all!"
"You don’t have to leave now. Aren’t you staying until the kids finish their one-year exchange program before leaving?"
"A year won’t be enough. I can’t get enough of that delicious food. I’m thinking, maybe I should marry one of your locals. Then I would have a reason to stay!"
Lina had always been outspoken. When Su Wan first met her in the Insect Nest, her words were quite shocking, but Lina was frank and did not harbor any bad intentions.
Over the years, Su Wan had interacted with many Insectoids and found that their thoughts were actually very simple.
It turned out that the most complex were the Beastmen.
Such as the former Lucifer, and later, Doris... To some extent, Doris was also a Beastman, but due to her special nature, she had been crippled by Gu Jue and now could only rely on a bionic robot body.
Su Wan asked Lina about Doris, as Doris hadn’t appeared for a long time, and Insectoid diplomacy was mostly handled by Xi Le.
Lina said, "You’re talking about Doris. Lord Insect God doesn’t trust her and rarely lets her handle anything. Besides, this woman is restless, thinking all day about dominating the Universe."
Lina’s usual thinking was simple; she would never betray Lord Insect God. Under the premise that it wouldn’t affect betrayal, she was willing to do certain things for what she liked.
For instance, she really liked the cuisine of Landis Star and the meals at the Su Family restaurant. Then she eagerly said, "Su Wan, do you have any apprentices or someone who has learned cooking from you? Of course, they wouldn’t be as good as you, but someone almost as close?"
"...I don’t have an apprentice."
Disappointment visibly flashed across Lina’s face.
On the other hand, the Insectoid visiting delegation had finally boarded the spaceship, and Su Wan made eye contact with Su Man in mid-air.
Su Man gave Su Wan a smile.
Su Wan’s right eyelid twitched, feeling that something bad was about to happen!
It wasn’t until the Insectoids’ spaceship had been gone for a while that Lina was still pestering her, asking if there was any single chef in the Su Family restaurant.
"I’ll ask around for you."
"Thanks! Ah, I finally get why Commander Gu is so devoted to you. If I were a guy, I would chase after you in all sorts of ways too! After all, the food you make is just so delicious!"
Lina actually had never tasted Su Wan’s cooking firsthand, but she often went to the Su Family restaurant. After all, Su Wan used to be called the Food God, and her delicacies were the most delicious throughout the whole Landis Star!
Eventually, Su Wan, partly amused and partly distressed, agreed to help this gluttonous creature inquire if there was any single chef in the restaurant willing to marry a glutton.
Meanwhile, Su Ni was looking at the little girl standing in front of him, feeling slightly overwhelmed.
"How did you end up here?"
Su Yao said, "My mom sent me. She said I am purebred and better suited to live on Landis Star. She told me to stay here for a while. Uncle, you’ll take me in, right?"
The little girl’s eyes were very clear. In reality, she had been directly abandoned by her mother, and Su Ni couldn’t just ignore the child.
However, having just been scolded by a bunch of people, especially, he didn’t dare to bring the child straight home either!
In the end, Su Ni had no choice but to take the child to the Su Family restaurant, order some food for her, and then he didn’t dare tell his wife Cecilia but decided to reach out to his brother Su Yun first.
He explained the situation.
"Big brother, what should I do? Su Man, really, why did she just send the child straight to me!"
"Because you’re the dumbest."
"...Okay, now isn’t the time for that. Tell me what to do quickly. If it was you, what would you do?"
"Send her straight back to Su Man."
"...Su Man and the rest of those Insectoids have already left, and I don’t even know where the Insectoid Base is! Besides, it’s just a child, actually, staying on Landis Star for a few days should be okay, right?"
Listening to his foolish younger brother, Su Yun started to laugh, "Su Man guessed you would think this way, which is why she dumped the child on you. Alright, I’ve given you advice, now it’s up to you to decide what to do. I’ve got to go get busy."
After Su Yun ended the call, Su Ni turned his head to look at the little girl eating earnestly and felt a bit helpless.
In the end, with no other options, he obediently told Cecilia.
Cecilia: "..."
Cecilia was very firm, "Why the hell should I raise Su Man’s child! Contact Su Man, either take the child away, or find someone else to take care of her. Those are the only two options. If neither works, from today on, you don’t need to bother coming home."
