Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 689: Might Be in Early Love

After listening, Su Wan said straightforwardly, "Su Ni, your intention isn’t a problem, and I can understand why you want to surprise your second sister-in-law, but I suggest you ask her opinion about this matter."

Su Ni became anxious, "Xiaowan, I didn’t mean anything else, and I’ve assessed them all; they are qualified for the position before I agreed! Are you worried that I will affect the restaurant?"

Su Wan spoke in an even tone, "If the people you appoint are not up to the task, then if there are problems, we’ll reward or punish according to the rules and regulations. However, I still suggest you talk to your second sister-in-law. Be careful, good intentions might lead to bad outcomes."

After saying these words, Su Wan rubbed her sore neck and got up to leave.

Su Ni, this fool, if his second sister-in-law had really let go of those family conflicts, she wouldn’t have been so out of touch for all these years.

And the other party had been trying to get close to the Su Family all these years, or rather, trying to get close to Su Wan’s family.

Currying favor in every possible way.

See, getting a job at the Su Family restaurant is only the first step... If the other party is competent and has no ill intentions, Su Wan wouldn’t mind. After all, what does it matter whom we hire?

But recalling Luo Manya, a bit distraught, Su Wan understood that as their family’s power grew, relatives who were previously unconnected would try every means to get close.

The Su Family restaurant.

Then, it would be the military.

Su Wan turned around and saw Su Ni’s conflicted, frowning face. She hoped, as ever, that the fool would treat Cecilia’s word as a commandment.

The fact that this couple hadn’t reached the point of divorce over the years was all thanks to Cecilia.

Su Ni didn’t harbor any bad intentions; he genuinely hoped his wife would be happier.

But he couldn’t dismiss his sister’s warning.

Even though she still wasn’t close to him and wouldn’t call him her second brother, she had been good to them over the years.

She definitely wouldn’t harm him.

Thinking this, Su Ni made a decision and after returning home, he told Cecilia everything just as it was.

After listening, Cecilia asked calmly, "Did they approach you, hoping to work at the Su Family restaurant?"

Su Ni nodded, "Yes, but I have assessed them too. Your maternal uncle and your cousin, as well as your cousin’s brother, they have all worked in restaurants. Especially this cousin’s brother of yours, His dishes are quite tasty; I’ve tried them myself."

"But if you disagree, I’ll go talk to Xiaowan and replace them."

Cecilia, who was making pastries, asked without looking up, "What did Xiaowan say?"

"Xiaowan said, I should tell you about this."

Cecilia replied, "Remove the maternal uncle and cousin. They are capable, but once they have power, they will want to meddle. Then let the cousin’s brother stay in the kitchen. After working there for two years, if he passes the assessment, promote him to head chef."

"Alright."

Soon, Su Wan received the detailed information about the new management staff for the branch that Su Ni had sent. She wasn’t surprised at all by Cecilia’s choices.

Because Su Wan had investigated these three people before. Indeed, it was only Nolen, Cecilia’s younger cousin, who was passionate about cooking. But if he was immediately put in the position of head chef, it could cause dissatisfaction among others and even inflate his ego.

As for the other two, they had the capability but too many schemes—unreliable for important roles.

Having sorted out all these matters, Su Wan went to the military department. Lately, other than the visit from Plantman, there were no other issues, so non-frontline combat personnel like Su Wan were not too busy.

Jina whispered to Su Wan, "I heard that Sheng An had a fight with Zhuo Yun!"

Su Wan asked, "Why are you using such an excited tone?"

Luo Jina: "It’s quite rare to see them argue, not like Alex and me. We’ve been married for so many years, and the arguments never stopped. But, every time, I’m the one who wins!"

Su Wan was speechless, there were too many cringeworthy points, she simply didn’t know where to start.

After all, the reason Luo Jina won arguments was mostly because Alex indulged her, not because she was reasonable.

But Luo Jina was right about one thing, it was indeed rare to see Sheng An and Zhuo Yun argue.

There’s a saying that as long as couples who bicker all the time don’t have significant, principle-based conflicts, there won’t be any major problems between them—perhaps they fight before a meal, and reconcile after it.

However, couples who hardly ever argue might fall apart with just one big fight.

Coincidentally, when Su Wan went to the archives that afternoon, she ran into Sheng An, who had a chilly look in her eyes, though she did show a hint of warmth upon seeing Su Wan.

Su Wan, from her student days until now, only had two best friends.

One was Luo Jina, and the other was Sheng An.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t be nosy, but these two were different.

When she had gathered the necessary documents, Su Wan asked Sheng An, "Wanna grab a coffee next door?"

"Oh? Sure."

"Xiao’an, have you been fighting with Zhuo Yun recently?" Su Wan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Sheng An was smart and knew that Su Wan must have something to discuss if she had called her over. Stirring her coffee, she said, "It must be that big mouth Luo Jina who told you, right? It wasn’t really a fight, he just set up Xiaole with a girlfriend without asking, and then I called him out on it. He brought up the old issue of Xiaole having a crush on me back then. I was so angry that I hit him."

Su Wan: "...But Zhuo Yun has known about the past for a long time, hasn’t he?"

Sheng An: "Men are very narrow-minded about these things. If I had known he was this narrow-minded, I definitely wouldn’t have married him!"

Su Wan: "What does Sheng Le think about this? He’s not young anymore, and I feel that he’s not as attached to you as he was before."

Sheng Le’s feelings for Sheng An back then were even tinged with a sense of mutual dependence that went beyond affection.

After so many years, both of them had somewhat moved on, and it might be because Sheng Le remained unmarried that Zhuo Yun felt insecure.

Hence the arguments.

Sheng An spoke calmly, "I’ll let Xiaole make his own decisions about this, I won’t interfere. If Zhuo Yun causes more trouble for no reason, then we might have to spend some time apart."

Su Wan: "That might be an overreaction."

Sheng An: "Enough about me. Why do I get the feeling that you’ve been quite preoccupied lately?"

Su Wan sighed.

How could she not be preoccupied?

That bug was still on Landis Star, and even if the alias ’Bai Li’ hadn’t returned, Su Wan felt sure that old bug would take the opportunity to visit Xiaoyan at school.

Su Wan confided in her friend, "I suspect that Xiaoyan might have fallen in puppy love."

"Puppy love? With a classmate from school?"

"Sort of. But they might still be in a fuzzy stage. I’ve probed the boy, and it seems like he doesn’t harbor those kinds of feelings..."

Sheng An looked at her friend, who had a troubled expression, and said decisively, "If he dares to let down our Xiaoyan, we’ll just blast him with a cannon!"
