Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 596: The Insect God is coming?

This matter has become serious.

Su Yun’s suggestion to Su Ni was a multiple-choice question, but for Cecilia, it was a matter of life and death. Even someone as obtuse as he could understand what choice to make.

Su Ni contacted Su Man, as they’ve communicated before and had each other’s contact information. As soon as Su Man picked up, she burst into tears, claiming she no longer had anyone she could trust on Landis Star and insisted that her daughter, being of pure human lineage, should indeed live on Landis Star. She even mentioned that she might return there after a while.

Su Ni, "Then when you come back, why not bring your daughter with you and have her stay here, isn’t that okay?"

Su Man, "I just want Yaoyao to get used to life on Landis Star a little earlier. If she doesn’t adapt, then maybe I won’t move there at all."

Su Ni, "If you’re not going to entrust her to someone else, then I can only send her back!"

Su Man, "Second brother, please, I’m begging you, isn’t that enough? I’ve had a hard time these past few years. I know I’ve made mistakes before. Now that the Insectoids and Landis people are trying to make amends, I just want to reconnect with my relatives, with you all. Where would I dare to harbor any ill intentions?"

After hesitating for a while, Su Ni finally spoke, "No, that won’t do. Since that’s the case, I’ll find a way to send the child back to you."

Su Man, "..."

Ordinary people wouldn’t know where the Insectoid Planet base is.

But the higher-ups of Landis Star would know.

So this matter couldn’t avoid Su Wan. If Su Ni wanted to send the child back, he had no choice but to ask for help from his younger sister, Su Wan.

Su Wan looked at Su Ni, who had a dejected expression, "You’re pretty firm this time? I thought you’d be willing to take care of the child for a while."

Although the child was innocent,

how could anyone feel a special affection for a child of someone like Su Man!

With a sheepish expression, Su Ni said, "Xiaowan, don’t make fun of me. Can you help me out here? Su Man made her own plans for the child without even asking if I was willing. This is kind of like a moral hijacking."

"Fine, I’ll help you out. Where’s the child now?"

"At the Su Family restaurant."

Su Wan nodded, "Okay then, there are dormitories there, she can be settled in first. I’ll figure out a way to arrange a spaceship to send the child over."

Su Ni almost cried with relief, "Xiaowan, you’re the best! Wuuu, if I don’t resolve this matter properly, your sister-in-law won’t even let me in the house!"

Su Wan, "..."

She thought so. With Su Ni’s brains and his tendency to be soft-hearted, there was no way he could be so decisive.

Su Wan had met the child once before, and upon meeting her again, she noticed the little girl seemed quite uneasy.

In her features, there was a trace of Su Man before she had undergone plastic surgery, and like Su Man, Su Yao was not afraid of Su Ni, but she seemed a bit afraid of Su Wan.

Su Wan, "We’re going to send you back to the Insectoid Planet base now."

Su Yao silently set down the little cake she was holding. She nodded and said, "I know, you all hate my mother and certainly wouldn’t welcome me. Actually, I’ve told her that too, but she still thinks that since I’m just a child, you would hold a grudge against her but wouldn’t take it out on a child. Sigh, she has always been like this. Although I like Landis Star, I know you don’t welcome me, and I won’t stay. But I’m still too young to defy my mother."

Su Wan realized that the child was quite perceptive, a rare quality for someone who lived with Su Man to have.

Of course, it could also be that Su Man had been teaching the child to be cunning from a young age, to know what to say to whom.

But no matter the situation, Su Wan felt that this child was truly living a tiresome life.

She spoke softly, "With a mother like that, it must be hard on you too, right?"

Su Yao nodded, "Yeah, but I’m still young now, so I can only wait until I’m an adult to have the chance to completely break away from her."

The little girl paused, then carefully said, "Back at the Su Family, it was my mother who made me call you all that way, I know you were all unhappy. I’ll just call you Commander Su from now on if that’s okay. I wanted to ask, can I stay on Landis Star? I’m willing to work, I just don’t want to go back to my mother."

Su Yao was at that rebellious age of fourteen or fifteen, not to mention, she had indeed been controlled by her mother for far too long.

She looked around; only Su Wan and Su Ni were in the private room, so the little girl spoke with confidence, "My mother has actually been looking for a future husband for me for a long time. The first candidate was Lord Insect God, this time, she insisted on me staying because she knew Lord Insect God was coming to Landis Star as well. But in fact, I understand that Lord Insect God has no interest in a girl like me at all."

Su Wan had not yet decided whether to keep this little girl.

But the next moment, upon hearing that the Insect God himself had come, her brows lifted slightly, "You mean, the Insect God has come too? How come I haven’t seen him?"

The whole time it was Xi Le acting as the spokesperson.

Su Yao truly wanted to take this opportunity to escape her mother’s control. She whispered, "He’s among those exchange students, but I don’t know which one. Commander Su, please don’t say it was me who told you!"

One out of ten exchange students is the Insect God?

Su Wan thought it was essential to immediately inform Ajue and Xiaochen about this matter.

She cautiously asked, "Then do you know what the Insect God is here for, under a different identity?"

Su Yao shook her head, "I don’t know, even my father doesn’t know, but I’m sure of one thing, Lord Insect God’s presence on Landis Star is definitely not with malicious intent."

After she finished, she looked at Su Wan with a somewhat pitiable gaze, "Commander Su, can you let me stay? I can work at your restaurant, just give me a place to live. My mother isn’t that stingy, she left me with plenty of Star Coins."

Su Wan looked into the little girl’s pleading eyes and said, "Alright, you can stay for now. There are staff dormitories behind the restaurant, and Du Yue will come to settle you in later. Add my communications, stay put here, and if you cause any trouble, I will immediately send you back to the Insectoid Planet."

"Okay!"

Su Wan hurriedly walked outside, followed by Su Ni.

"Xiaowan, you’re really keeping the child here?"

"For now."

"And, what if Su Man asks about it?"

Su Wan paused mid-step, turned back to look at Su Ni, and said, "I’m really glad your son takes after Cecilia instead of you."

Su Ni: "..."

He sheepishly said, "I’m just, worried about saying the wrong thing."

Su Wan: "You don’t have to contact her directly. When she contacts you, just hang up right away. Besides, that child has a neural computer, she will definitely contact Su Man."

"Alright..."

Meanwhile, Su Wan rushed to the military headquarters. Having contacted them earlier, she knew Gu Jue was in a meeting, so Su Wan decided to come back and tell him in person.
