Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 651: He used to love eating grilled octopus legs...
They were all familiar with the name Lucifer.
After all, he had been the infamous Star Thief Leader with a terrible reputation.
If it hadn’t been for Gu Jue leading the Universe Alliance to destroy Lucifer’s lair completely back then, the major powers of the universe might have had to reshuffle their cards by now.
Perhaps Vivian herself didn’t expect that Su Wan and the others would guess it so quickly.
Her intention was also to remind Gu Chen that there was simply no possibility between them.
Because Vivian had considered that after so many years, Gu Jue had made many enemies, and even Gu Chen himself had foes.
And now, the name Lucifer was laid out on the table.
If Vivian’s biological father was indeed Lucifer... Gu Chen’s heart sank.
Gu Yan looked at his mother and brother, and said weakly, "Could it be that we’ve guessed wrong?"
Su Wan sighed lightly, "If we had guessed individually, there might be room for error, but remember back when you were little, Xiaochen, I took you to see a movie written by Moran. During that 5D movie, an accident happened, and Lucifer suddenly appeared. Then, you even severed one of his tentacles, have you forgotten?"
Gu Chen: "..."
Although Gu Chen had been young at the time, he indeed remembered the incident.
Even since then, he had developed a taste for grilled tentacles...
Thinking of this, Gu Chen’s face also turned ugly.
Gu Jue had been busy tonight and returned late. By this time, the family should have finished dinner, but he learned from White Tiger that everyone was still in the dining room, except for his youngest son Gu Yu who had gone back to his room.
Still in his military uniform, he stepped forward and saw that the expressions on his family’s faces were... indescribable, and certainly something Gu Jue had never encountered before.
Gu Jue turned his gaze to Su Wan, "Wanwan, what happened?"
Su Wan stood up, instructed the household robot to set a place for Gu Jue, and then started, "We’ve been unable to find out who Vivian’s father is, but if her biological father is Lucifer, then everything makes sense."
Gu Jue raised his eyebrows, "How is that possible?"
He turned to look at his eldest son.
Xiaochen had been very clever since he was a child, exceptionally outstanding, and at a young age, he had taken his seat on the throne, making Gu Jue very proud with everything he did.
And now, he seemed somewhat dejected, lost in thought.
If Gu Jue had arrived a few minutes earlier, he would have heard about his son eating grilled tentacles as a child...
Su Wan sighed softly, "Every time that child comes to our house, she’s always on guard. Later when Xiaochen expressed his feelings for her, she got completely scared and then subtly mentioned it. In fact, if Vivian really is Lucifer’s child, it’s not the family who is in trouble, it’s just you..."
She looked worriedly at her son.
Gu Chen silently stood up, "Mom, Dad, I’ve finished eating, I’ll go back to my room first."
Gu Chen was all too aware that Lucifer had tried many times to kill his mother, Su Wan... and it was his father, Gu Jue, who had made Lucifer destitute over the years.
There was also a time when his father, Gu Jue, almost killed Lucifer.
In such a relationship, it was indeed impossible for him to have anything with Vivian... Vivian’s avoidance meant that she would not abandon her father.
And Gu Chen would not sacrifice his family for the sake of love.
His eyes half-closed, he slowly returned to his room.
He sat quietly on the sofa, his slender fingers tapping the tabletop rhythmically, making a very faint sound.
Azure Dragon, usually so calm and composed, was now struggling to maintain his composure.
"Master, don’t be sad."
"I’m not sad, no, perhaps a little," Gu Chen sighed lightly, "never could I have imagined, when I grilled Lucifer’s tentacle that time, that one day I would fall for his daughter."
Azure Dragon wouldn’t reciprocate that comment, wishing he could immediately make a call to White Tiger.
Yet Gu Chen continued, "Perhaps, Vivian is right."
This time it was Azure Dragon’s turn to sigh.
And in the restaurant, only the three members of the Gu Family remained; the incident had hit Gu Chen hardest, but it wasn’t a small blow to Gu Yan either.
She remained silent for a long time.
Su Wan felt a bit heartbroken and gently patted her hand, "Don’t think too much, Vivian probably didn’t really mean to dislike you by saying she wanted to sever ties with you."
"I know, it’s just... Mom, I’m fine, I’m going back to my room first."
"Okay."
Su Wan sighed softly, watching the state of her children, "I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this."
Gu Jue was quite rational, "I’ll have someone investigate again following this lead."
Su Wan, "I also hope we are all wrong, it is right to investigate again... Also, recently, that Moran is on Landis Star."
Gu Jue nodded and immediately ordered someone to keep an eye on that Moran.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan, who had returned to her room, looked at her palm computer. It was quiet; Vivian hadn’t replied to any of her messages.
Xiaofu, "Master, why don’t you directly call Bai Li!"
Gu Yan was thinking the same thing.
Her mood was very bad right now; she couldn’t reach Vivian... and maybe, she didn’t even know how to face their friendship with Vivian moving forward.
She even dared not think too deeply.
Did Vivian know about the several times Lucifer had nearly killed her mother, Su Wan?
And her father, Gu Jue, had also nearly killed Lucifer several times...
Gu Yan directly dialed Bai Li’s communication.
Bai Li had indeed been busy all day. He had seen the picture Gu Yan sent, but thought that Gu Yan must have been dining with Vivian, so he didn’t respond.
At that moment, he was sitting there, facing a very serious Xi Le.
Because on the edge of the Universe, another wormhole had appeared, and an alien Insect Clan had managed to travel through this wormhole that had existed for billions of years!
Xi Le said seriously, "Their initial landing point was on one of our planets, and they started attacking as soon as they arrived, utterly unreasonable."
They looked similar, all part of the Insect Clan, but they were a different species.
The innate instinct of the Insect Clan is to plunder resources and reproduce; they didn’t understand the rules of this Universe at first, so they didn’t rashly declare war on the Beastmen.
Instead, they went straight after Bai Li’s side, the Insectoids.
In just one day, they lost a planet, and Bai Li couldn’t help but take it seriously.
At this time, Gu Yan’s call came through.
Bai Li raised his hand, signaling Xi Le to stay quiet for the moment, and then he answered Gu Yan’s call.
In the call, the little girl’s voice was full of grievance.
"Brother Little Mushroom, where are you? Can you come to my house for a bit?"
Bai Li pursed his lips, "Okay, wait for me."
After cutting off the communication, he looked up to see Xi Le looking a bit dumbfounded, but the latter quickly coughed and showed no difference in expression from before.
In reality, Xi Le was emotionally churning inside!
