Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 653: My Mom Losing to Her is Not a Disgrace
Having such a mother, Su Yao grew up prematurely, understanding many things early on.
She sighed like an old person and said, "Dad, do you know? In this world, the person Mom cares about the most isn’t you or me, but Aunt Su Wan."
Always competing with her, for a lifetime.
Always losing, yet still challenging her.
Su Yao felt her own mother was as exasperating as she was pitiable.
She didn’t want to compete with Gu Yan; she knew she couldn’t win anyway. If possible, she would even like to be friends with Gu Yan.
Xi Le looked at his daughter, who was as clear-headed as a mirror, and reached out to touch her forehead. "Dad has to go to war soon, so it’s good for you to stay here. I see that Su Wan treats you well, too."
"Aunt Su Wan really is a wonderful person! She doesn’t look down on me because of my mother. She’s sensible, gentle, and at the same time, very strong! It’s not a disgrace for my mom to lose to someone as outstanding as her."
Xi Le chuckled. "It’s a pity she doesn’t realize she has trapped herself in a dead end. Well, I have to leave now. If you have an emergency, send me a message. Also, take these Star Coins. Just stay at the Su Family restaurant, and don’t run around everywhere. If you have a problem and I don’t reply to your message in time, go find Su Wan, understand?"
"Hmm, I got it. Dad, I’ll work hard at learning to cook. Next time we meet, I’ll be able to prepare a whole table of dishes for you."
Xi Le finally felt relieved. He gently hugged his daughter, then turned and left, discreetly departing from Landis Star to prepare for the battle.
At this time, Bai Li was already in Gu Yan’s room.
Bai Li listened to her talk about what had happened between Gu Chen and Vivian. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Gu Yan: "Perhaps Vivian’s father isn’t Lucifer."
Bai Li: "There’s an eighty percent chance that’s true."
Gu Yan suddenly raised her head.
Bai Li said, "That Moran is Lucifer’s sister. However, these years Lucifer has been in hiding, and hasn’t been living with Julia and her daughter. It seems more like Vivian was the result of an accident."
Gu Yan had always been puzzled: why the kind and gentle Aunt Julie would be with the brutish Star Thief Leader Lucifer. If the truth was that Lucifer’s Manic-Depressive Period exploded and Aunt Julie just happened to be nearby, then everything made sense.
Gu Yan’s eyes lit up, "Are you saying they were both coerced?"
Bai Li shook his head: "Now Moran can often be seen at Julia’s house, and Vivian has actively distanced herself from your brother and you, which shows that Vivian acknowledges her father."
The hope in Gu Yan’s eyes diminished bit by bit.
She hugged the pillow gloomily. "It seems I’m really going to lose this friend..."
Seeing her care so much about Vivian, Bai Li narrowed his eyes. "Do you care a lot about Vivian?"
"Yes, she’s my first friend!"
"What about me?"
Gu Yan was taken aback.
She thought about it and then said somewhat confusedly, "But aren’t you Brother Little Mushroom?"
Bai Li looked into her eyes. "In your eyes, am I the same as your family members?"
"Yes!"
Bai Li received a positive answer, but his mood fluctuated. In Gu Yan’s heart, he was as important as family, which was actually a good thing.
He knew she cared deeply about her family.
But... it seemed that wasn’t what he wanted or something that would satisfy him.
Especially considering what Su Wan had reminded him of not long ago.
Bai Li walked over and embraced Gu Yan in his arms, "I have an emergency, so I have to leave for a few days. As for Vivian’s issue, don’t be too upset about it, it’s not your fault."
"Mhm."
"I will come back as soon as possible."
"... Brother Little Mushroom, in the future, when you receive my messages, could you... not ignore them?"
Bai Li’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he thought of something, then he nodded his head, "Okay."
Actually, Bai Li didn’t say anything particularly comforting, just spending a long time with Gu Yan. The next morning, she had no idea when he had left.
But her mood really did calm down miraculously.
Putting herself in the shoes of others, Gu Yan considered that her older brother was probably suffering more than she was.
As it happened, Gu Chen didn’t have much time to be upset either; he also received news and mentioned at the dinner table that another group of Insectoids had appeared.
Gu Chen, "Right now the Insect God hasn’t contacted us, but we’ve always had an alliance. If necessary, we’ll also deploy Starships to assist."
Gu Jue, "That group of Insectoids only targets their own kind, which is why the Insect God has not spoken up. But this is only temporary, we still need to prepare early."
Gu Chen, "Yes. Moreover, those people from the Universe Alliance will likely cooperate with this group of Insectoids."
Listening to their conversation, Gu Yan finally understood why Bai Li had to leave for a while.
She felt a bit distracted.
Bai Li has always been very capable, but what if among the newly emerged group of Insectoids, there happens to be an Insect God?
Su Wan did not join her husband and son’s conversation, she added more food to her daughter’s bowl, "Xiaoyan, if you’re feeling unwell today, you can ask for a day off to rest at home."
After all, Xiaoyan shared a dorm with Weiwei. There had been a dispute between them before, and knowing the identity of Weiwei’s biological father, would the two girls feel awkward meeting each other now?
Gu Yan shook her head, "I’ll have to face it sooner or later, and besides, it’s not Weiwei’s fault, nor is it mine."
Su Wan smiled, "Mhm, it’s good that you can think this way."
Gu Yan, "But Mom, will Lucifer’s identity affect Weiwei and Aunt Julie?"
After she finished speaking, the father and son beside her who were discussing important matters also stopped.
Su Wan looked at Gu Jue.
Gu Jue, "If the mother and daughter haven’t done anything to harm Landis Star, then whatever Lucifer has done has nothing to do with them."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan completely let go of her worries.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief; even though they couldn’t be together, he knew that Weiwei was a simple girl, and so was her mother.
They shouldn’t be involved in the things Lucifer has done, right!
Gu Yan prepared herself mentally, then said goodbye to her family and got on the flyer with her younger brother Gu Yu to head to school.
She was ready for what to say when she saw Weiwei later.
However, when Gu Yan arrived at school and until class started, she didn’t see Weiwei anywhere.
She eventually went to the teacher, only to find out that Weiwei didn’t come to school today and had taken sick leave instead.
Watching Gu Yan walk away with a complex expression, a classmate said to Molly beside her, "It’s so weird, isn’t Gu Yan very close with Weiwei?"
Molly had tried several times to approach Gu Yan, but Gu Yan wouldn’t pay her any attention.
After hearing this, she said with a bit of schadenfreude, "What can be done, they’ve obviously had a falling out!"
