Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 657 A Test

Su Wan brought the two children to the Su Family’s old house, and it happened to be noon.

Having been informed in advance, the Su Family’s elder did not show any surprise when he saw Su Yao, but when he turned his head to look at Gu Yan, his eyes were filled with kindness and warmth.

He carefully asked about Gu Yan’s recent studies, and Gu Yan honestly answered.

Meanwhile, Su Wan asked the children to chat with the elder and water the plants, after which she went to help Meira with the cooking for lunch.

Meira, soft-hearted, expressed her concern, "Your grandfather might treat the two children differently."

Su Wan calmly responded, "It’s okay, after all, she is Su Man’s daughter."

In the past, Su Man was quite good at pretending. Just in case this young girl was also good at it, although she is a child, numerous experiences have taught people never to underestimate children.

Moreover, if this child’s nature is genuinely good, then Su Wan was actually willing to help her more.

After all, it wasn’t easy for a nice child, who had been rashly coached by Su Man and had not yet gone astray.

The elder probably shared her thoughts, harboring a mindset of testing.

After all, Su Man had played her role too well back in the day at the Su Family’s home.

Because the elder inquired so attentively about Gu Yan, completely neglecting Su Yao beside her, Gu Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. She wasn’t familiar with Su Yao, but she felt that this wasn’t very nice.

However, the great-grandfather could not be blamed. It is said that Su Man did some things in the past that made the great-grandfather very angry.

Additionally, Gu Yan’s maternal grandfather, Su Zhen, was the one who had been harmed to death by Su Man’s mother.

Nevertheless, Gu Yan quickly regained her composure. She tried to observe Su Yao and found that although Su Yao appeared somewhat disappointed, she didn’t take it too seriously, earnestly eating the snacks laid out on the table beside her.

It must be said that the food that ever appeared at the Su Family’s place was never subpar.

As for the elder’s lack of fondness for her, Su Yao was aware of it. Thus, although she felt down, she was not so sad and did not blame anyone.

Oh, but there was still someone to blame.

All blame lay with her mother!

Everyone kept their composure, regardless of how much they were thinking. This meeting turned out to be quite joyful and harmonious for everyone.

By evening, Su Wan left with the two children. She first took Su Yao back to the Su Family’s restaurant, and then she returned home with her daughter Gu Yan.

On the flying vehicle, when it was just the two of them, Su Wan asked, "Xiaoyan, did you notice anything today?"

Gu Yan nodded, "Great-grandfather doesn’t seem to like Su Yao very much. He kept talking to me, intentionally neglecting Su Yao. However, I think, great-grandfather has his intentions for doing so. And I also observed that Su Yao was a bit disappointed but made an effort to self-regulate. Throughout the process, she didn’t hide her emotions but expressed them vividly. During the trip to the restroom together, she even shared her thoughts with me."

"Oh, what did she share with you?"

"She said that her mother, who had a good hand back in the day, ended up playing it terribly. Actually, what her grandmother did back then had nothing to do with her mother. If her mother had stayed and acted as an obedient adopted daughter of the Su Family, then she could have a happy life like she has now."

Her daughter had seen through the true nature of the events, which comforted Su Wan.

At the same time... she spoke softly, "Su Man’s daughter is indeed much better than her."

"Mom, Su Yao and I exchanged neuro-communication numbers, and we’re now friends. But don’t worry, I’ll remember her mother’s identity and keep the friendship within appropriate bounds."

Su Wan nodded, "Since you were young, you didn’t have many female friends. Those brothers always indulged and spoiled you. But I know, a girl still needs girl friends."

Gu Yan spoke earnestly, "Friends are hard to come by, good friends even more so. Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t make friends lightly, and I’ll be sure to carefully select them when the time comes."

She knew her family background was special and easily exploited by those with ulterior motives, so she was always clear and aware.

For example, the Molly she had encountered at school, Gu Yan knew that person approached her with no good intentions.

Su Wan nodded with relief.

"Wanwan, it’s not just female friends, but you need to be even more cautious with male friends," Su Wan almost directly said, "You need to see through that insect!"

Luckily, the Insect God had already left Landis Star and probably wouldn’t be back anytime soon. With time, Xiaoyan would probably forget about him.

Making some new friends would be good.

As for her daughter’s situation, it could actually stabilize now, but Su Wan was a bit worried about her eldest son, Gu Chen.

Even after learning that Vivian’s father was Lucifer, Su Wan didn’t explicitly tell her eldest son that he could no longer be in contact with her.

As a very open-minded mother, Su Wan wouldn’t do that, and besides, she didn’t dislike Vivian as a child.

All she could say was that fate played tricks on people.

That evening, as Su Wan was organizing a batch of seeds and planning to visit the fruit and vegetable base again soon, Gu Jue noticed his wife looking tired.

"Wanwan, if you’re too tired, don’t overwork yourself. Rest early," said Gu Jue, the Commander known throughout the Universe as the man who dotes on his wife the most. As he spoke, he gently brushed Su Wan’s hand back with his fluffy tail in an especially tender gesture.

Su Wan expertly groomed the fluffy tail and said, "I’m worried about Xiaochen. He’s been so busy these days that he’s practically living at the Imperial Palace."

"He’s been a bit busy lately. There’s news that the Universe Alliance is in contact with Freya, and their intention is clear—they want to ally with Freya to oppose our planet and the Insect God’s."

"What’s Freya’s stance on this?"

"She’s hesitating. There’s also news that she’s been approaching the Insect God, probably looking to form an alliance with them."

Su Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "But didn’t Freya lead an attack against the Insect God’s forces before? Now she wants to ally with them?"

"When they first arrived in this universe, they did not understand the Beastmen and were hesitant to act rashly. But as time passed and they learned about the Beastmen and Plantmen, they reassessed the strength of all sides. Of course, the most attractive thing to Freya must be the power of the Insect God, which surpasses hers."

Even the Beastmen admire strength.

How much more for the Insectoid race?

After hearing this, Su Wan’s eyes paused for a moment.

Hmm, someone’s got their sights set on the Insect God, huh? Well, that’s good; it will give that person a clear understanding of some basic knowledge about feelings and stop them from mindlessly cozying up to Xiaoyan!

Su Wan nodded, "An Insect God and an Insect Queen do sound quite well-matched."

Gu Jue commented, "Freya’s power is probably stronger than that of Doris before, but Doris occupied the body of the Insect Queen and wasn’t the real Insect Queen."

Su Wan also knew that Doris was still alive, but the Insect God was now using her as a tool for combat, occasionally helping with tasks like Instant Teleportation of a ship or starship.

What’s most astonishing is that Doris, a woman with such ambition, didn’t dare to resist the Insect God at all, diligently serving as their tool.

Su Wan’s brow furrowed.
