Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 625: Calculating Gu Chen

When the three of them reached the school entrance, they suddenly saw Julia standing at the door.

It was then that Vivian remembered her mother’s words about coming to pick her up... She turned to Gu Yan and said, "Xiaoyan, my mother is here, so you don’t need to take me back."

Gu Yan said, "Why don’t we just take both of you home? That way, you won’t have to squeeze into a public flyer, and you can get home earlier."

Vivian was hesitant, but she turned around and discussed it with her mother.

Julia sighed, "Alright then, we’ll have to trouble you, Gu Yan."

"It’s no trouble at all."

On the flyer, Julia sincerely thanked Gu Yan and Gu Yu once more, and they both hastily waved their hands, uttering many polite phrases.

Julia was a rabbit Beastman, even more gentle and graceful than Vivian, and made for very comfortable company. The ten or so minutes passed quickly and after dropping the mother and daughter off at home, Gu Yan then went back home with her brother in the flyer.

With just the siblings on the flyer, Gu Yan said with some concern, "Brother, do you know what illness Big Brother has? These past few days, he’s been staying at home, saying it’s because of his health. What’s actually wrong with him?"

"I heard it’s the Manic-Depressive Period."

"But Big Brother’s mental state seems very stable, he doesn’t seem like someone in a frenzy."

"Maybe Big Brother has stronger willpower, so he’s been restraining himself. But don’t worry, Uncle Qingyu is already working on a strengthened version of the exclusive medicine for Big Brother, he’ll be fine for sure."

"Oh."

Gu Yan had a total of four uncles, two by blood and two not related by blood.

For some reason, she had always been closer to the two uncles who weren’t related to her by blood, one was Uncle Qingyu, and the other was Uncle Xiaoge.

However, she got along well with all four of her aunts.

Since it was Uncle Qingyu who was involved, Gu Yan felt somewhat relieved.

On the other side, after Vivian returned home with her mother, Julia, she immediately checked her over and, finding that her daughter was indeed unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"How could such a thing happen? If it’s not urgent, why don’t you stay at the school for the time being and not come home?"

"Mom, then you’d be at home alone. How about I don’t come back by myself, and I walk with Gu Yan and the others instead?"

Vivian cautiously gauged her mother’s expression.

Julia sighed lightly as she thought of her daughter spending the previous night at Commander Gu’s residence, "Vivian, due to your father’s identity, it’s a sensitive matter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stopped you from going to the military academy in the first place. And the Gu Family... if they knew about your father’s identity, we might not be able to continue living peacefully on Landis Star anymore."

"Mom, Gu Yan never inquires about my family matters; we get along very happily. And... The Gu Family members are easy to get along with; they’ve always been good to me."

Julia knew all too well that the Gu Family members were good people, and she had nothing against them. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Not to mention, back in her student days, she actually admired and envied Su Wan a great deal.

In the end, Julia conceded, "Alright, it’s just a ride in their flyer, so that’s acceptable. Just don’t go to Commander Gu’s residence again next time."

"I know, Mom, it was an accident..." For some reason, Vivian thought of Gu Chen, a hint of bewilderment flickering in her eyes.

Julia didn’t notice her daughter’s distraction and said with a bit of anxiety, "Although our family isn’t well-off, we can’t always take advantage of Gu Yan. If she needs help with anything at school in the future, you must offer without hesitation. Also, as for cooking, forget it; my food definitely isn’t as delicious as Su Wan’s. But even though you usually wear uniforms, I’ll make a few dresses to give to Gu Yan."

"Sure, Mom, make us similar styles so we can wear them together when we’re not at school!"

Julia nodded. She looked at her daughter with tenderness, who was happy at the thought. Since her daughter wanted to be good friends with Gu Yan, then so be it—after all, she was her daughter’s friend. Su Wan wouldn’t think too much about this... right?

But Julia was wrong.

In fact, Su Wan had been paying attention to Vivian recently, not only to that Insectoid named Bai Li.

Unlike the detailed investigation into Bai Li, Su Wan would not conduct a very comprehensive inquiry into Vivian’s identity. In reality, she was pondering the events concerning Julia from back in the day.

Back then, Julia was not a resident of the Empire Main Star; she was from Plist Planet, an exchange student who happened to be at Empire University when Su Wan was there.

Julia was in the medical academy, and Su Wan remembered her having a crush on Gill from Plist Planet as well.

Gill was a Wolf Clan Beastman, and at that time, he wasn’t interested in Julia. His affections lay with Lan Rui, who is now Su Wan’s sister-in-law, Lan Rui.

"Could it be that Julia ended up marrying Gill after all? But Vivian’s personal information says her father is deceased? Quite a pitiable young girl."

Such a pitiable and timid girl, if she really took up the position of the Empress, she would be bullied, wouldn’t she?

No, if it really came to that day, she would have to protect this young girl diligently.

Only after a moment of contemplation did Su Wan shift her focus back to Bai Li, discovering that he hadn’t done anything else of note recently. It seemed that Lord Insect God was truly here to experience university life.

Children grow up and start to cause worries, don’t they?

Of course, what worried Su Wan the most right now was the health of her eldest son.

Due to several incidents of Beastmen running amok and injuring people, the military had been deployed, and they had also urged the public to send those with such tendencies to medical centers.

This situation wasn’t limited to Landis Star; it had occurred repeatedly on other planets with a majority of Beastman populations, with numerous serious incidents ensuing.

Therefore, the Universe Alliance meeting was convened to discuss this collective issue of the Beastmen.

Inside the family study, Gu Jue said to his son seated opposite, "Don’t attend the Universe Alliance meeting this time, stay on Landis Star. I will go."

"Father, if I don’t attend, it will confirm their speculations that I am indeed troubled by the Manic-Depressive Period."

This symptom of the Manic-Depressive Period only affected unmarried adult single Beastmen, whereas leaders of other planets were all elderly, and the few young people who had recently become leaders were also married.

They didn’t face this trouble.

On the contrary, they all knew about Gu Chen’s struggle and took pleasure in his misfortune. Moreover, years of attempts had proven that conquering Landis Star through military force was impossible.

But if the young Emperor of Landis married a woman from their planets, then wouldn’t the next heir have half the bloodline of their planets?
