Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 645: Her Envy

Gu Yu didn’t want to leave the laboratory, but when he heard that his sister almost experienced an attack today, he immediately took off his white gloves, shed his white lab coat, and hurriedly said something to Lan Yu before he ran off.

Aboard the flying vehicle, Gu Yu saw the news about today’s cinema. He frowned and said, "Why would such a large mutant Star Beast appear in the cinema in Central City?"

In the main city, there shouldn’t be any Star Beasts with killing power, let alone ones so large and dangerous!

Gu Yan shook her head, she wasn’t sure either, "Let’s ask Uncle Xiaoge later."

Vivian, on the side, listened with a bit of envy.

Because she had also heard that Head of the Security Bureau Su Xiaoge was not Gu Yan’s biological uncle. Su Xiaoge originally had the surname Mu, but after conflicts with the Mu Family, he and his brother Mu Qingyu changed their surnames.

Mu Qingyu became Gu Qingyu, and Mu Xiaoge became Su Xiaoge, both of them recognizing Su Wan as their sister and treating her especially well.

And now, these two uncles of hers, not related by blood, were both particularly good to Gu Yan, even better than Gu Yan’s two blood-related uncles.

Vivian, who had depended solely on her mother since childhood and only occasionally saw her aunt in her life, really envied Gu Yan.

After Vivian alighted from the flying vehicle, the vehicle continued its journey towards Commander Gu’s residence.

Gu Yu knitted his brows slightly, "Was your friend frightened? Her mood today seems especially downcast."

Gu Yan nodded, "The scene was indeed frightening. I was about to leave, then I turned around and saw that huge Star Beast standing right next to Vivian. I called out to her, she finally snapped back to her senses and ran a few steps towards me. Thank goodness she’s a Beastman; the impact wasn’t as great on her. But the other girls, pure humans, were so scared they couldn’t move."

Gu Yu frowned slightly, "So you’re saying, the Star Beast was closest to Vivian yet it didn’t attack her first?"

Gu Yan frowned as she looked over.

Gu Yu hurriedly said, "Xiaoyan, don’t be mad, it’s a good thing that Vivian wasn’t hurt. I’m just used to scrutinizing details, I didn’t mean anything else."

"I understand, I’m not really sure why that was either."

After all, it wasn’t just the other girls who were frightened, Gu Yan was somewhat dazed too. She had never witnessed giant Star Beasts swallowing people before in her life!

Gu Yu reached out to gently stroke his sister’s soft hair, "Don’t think too much about it, that Star Beast has already been eradicated by Uncle Xiaoge and his team. Mom must have made a lot of delicious food today, let’s hurry home."

"Okay."

When the Gu siblings returned home together, Vivian also made it back to her own house, with her aunt still there, unchanged.

Julia was already aware of what had happened during the day. Even though she had received a message earlier, seeing her daughter’s pale face, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.

"Vivian, you were frightened today, weren’t you?"

Vivian weakly nodded her head.

Indeed, Vivian’s mood today wasn’t good.

She was supposed to watch a movie with Gu Yan and the others when she couldn’t help but think, if her father’s identity weren’t so special, could she be sitting here watching a movie with Gu Chen?

Instead, just like now, she didn’t even dare to reply to his messages.

And then there was the fact that Gu Yan had so many family members who doted on her and treated her well, while Vivian only had her mother and her aunt who appeared so infrequently...

"Mom, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I think I’ll go back to my room to rest first."

Julia looked at her daughter’s worn appearance and had words to say, but in the end, they turned into a sigh, "Go on, a good sleep will do you good."

"Mhm."

Once Vivian was back in her room, Moran emerged from hers, frowning, "Has Vivian retired to rest?"

"Yes, she got frightened today."

Moran shook her head helplessly, "That Star Beast wouldn’t harm her, how could it still scare her so much? Sister-in-law, why do I feel like Vivian is even more timid than you?"

Julia didn’t think there was anything malicious in Moran’s words; after all, it was the truth.

She sighed softly, "My Beast Transformation Level was never high to begin with, and Vivian has mostly taken after me. Even if she had listened to him since she was young and taken the medicine, she... Moran, I just want to live a simple life with Vivian, the life of ordinary people!"

"But sister-in-law, my brother only has her as an heir. From the moment you were with my brother, it was destined that you and your child could not lead the ordinary life of commoners."

Julia’s eyes reddened.

She herself didn’t mind, but Vivian...

Moran too felt somewhat helpless whenever she saw her sister-in-law’s tears and tried to soften her tone again, "Vivian hasn’t awakened yet. Today was her first time seeing that scene; she’ll get used to it eventually."

"I hope so." Julia was so distressed that she couldn’t say anything else.

Moran returned to her room and pulled up the interstellar news on her light computer, then watched the videos in detail.

The incident happened in the girls’ restroom; nearly all the young girls present were terrified, their faces pale as shown in the footage. Even when questioned by security bureau staff, they spoke incoherently.

And there was Vivian, her face also pale, though slightly better off than those incoherent young girls. However, it was still apparent that she was very frightened and uneasy.

It was Gu Yan who stood beside Vivian, and even though she was scared, she wasn’t as frightened. She explained the incident to the staff in an organized manner.

Frightened, but trying to remain calm.

Moran sighed lightly; despite both being delicate young girls, Gu Yan’s reaction was much better than Vivian’s.

After all, Vivian is a Beastman, while that Gu Yan is a Plantman, even weaker than a pure human.

As Moran was pondering over Gu Yan, Gu Yan was also talking about Moran with her mother, Su Wan.

"Mom, you should watch the film that was released today. It was written by little Miss Vivian. Moran, she’s quite impressive!"

Su Wan was relieved that her daughter hadn’t been too affected by the day’s events.

But upon hearing the name Moran, she was reminded of something that had happened many years ago.

Back then, Xiaochen was very young, and she went to a cinema with Sheng An Luo Jina and others to watch a movie, when an accident occurred... That movie was created by that Moran.

At the time, Su Wan had thought that Moran knew too much about the life on Ancient Earth, even some of the trendy phrases... If it hadn’t been for the years Su Wan had lived on Ancient Earth, she wouldn’t have known either.

She once had a suspicion, but later too many things happened; and after investigations showed that Moran was just a simple writer, the matter was dropped.

And now, she has appeared once more.

And the cinema that played her movie, had an incident with a mutated Star Beast?
