Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 730: Did She Help You Through The Manic-Depressive Period?
The Lin Family members were smart, and although most of them were purebloods, which was somewhat of a disappointment, they had a number of standout individuals in various fields on Landis Star.
However, some time ago, the Lin Family was causing a commotion, wanting to take advantage of Gu Ruanruan’s power to move into the Imperial Palace and take up some significant positions.
Just like the Luo Family.
They all couldn’t wait for Gu Ruanruan to ascend to the throne!
Now, here, seeing someone introducing a girlfriend to Xiaoluo and it happened to be a Lin Family girl made Su Wan think more about it.
The few people from the Lin Family all greeted Su Wan with respect.
However, Chen Nuan was avoiding Su Wan’s expression.
Even if Lin Yu never mentioned Su Wan again, for Chen Nuan, having once been Su Wan’s stand-in was a thorn in her heart that would never go away.
Su Wan’s lips curved into a shallow arc as she turned her head towards Lin Ranyue, "Mom, what’s actually going on?"
"Xiaoluo mentioned to me before that he thought a colleague was quite nice, that they had a lot in common, and he planned to bring her over for me to meet, so I suggested we could meet up at the Su Family restaurant together," Lin Ranyue explained.
"So I came, and because Xiaoluo was delayed by a work issue, he’s coming later. Then the other party, well, you saw, came in with three people, all gung-ho," she continued.
"After they arrived, this young lady started crying in the lobby, claiming that she was mistreated by Xiaoluo, and then her grandmother and aunt kept saying our Xiaoluo bullied someone and should take responsibility. I was speechless. Why on earth would Xiaoluo be that kind of person? Besides, if it was really like that, wouldn’t Xiaoluo have said something to me about meeting this young lady?"
It’s no wonder when Su Wan arrived, the lobby manager asked her to come to this private room.
So there had been a commotion in the lobby earlier.
And, if things went as expected, there probably were some rumors spreading on the Star web; if these grew, it would surely impact Xiaoluo.
A forced marriage?
Su Wan: "Mom, where’s Xiaoluo?"
Lin Ranyue: "He’s tied up with work and will be late, and I just tried calling his optical computer, but I can’t get through."
"Can’t get through?"
Su Wan looked gentle, but her gaze was incredibly sharp as it swept across the three people from the Lin Family,
That was interesting indeed.
Something must be holding Xiaoluo back, and then these three are here pulling a fast one.
Su Wan snorted coldly.
Are they scheming against her family now?
Su Wan closed the door to the private room with the back of her hand and then noticed the three people in front instinctively retreating a step back.
This was a display of guilt, or perhaps fear.
The two women from the Lin Family became timid and looked eagerly at Chen Nuan, who cleared her throat and said, "Commander Su, we didn’t want this, but at that time, it was true that Lin Luo’s Manic-Depressive Period acted up, and he mistreated our Xiaolian. Actually, the two are quite compatible, they are colleagues, and they share common topics, so we thought, since it’s like this, why not settle the marriage between the two? Commander Su, you wouldn’t use your status to bully us ordinary people, would you?"
"How can you talk like that?" Lin Ranyue said on the side, growing very irritated.
First they plotted against her son, and now they were slandering her daughter. Although Lin Ranyue was someone with little ability, if anyone bullied her children, she would fight with her last breath and not let them off!
Su Wan gently patted her mother Lin Ranyue’s hand and then smiled at Chen Nuan, "If I truly enjoyed using my status to pressure others, then you and Lin Yu wouldn’t have been able to live on Landis Star for so many years. Your Lin Family also wouldn’t have had the opportunity to have so many people working in various important departments. Oh right, that also includes your most proud Lin Rui—he wouldn’t have had the chance to marry Ruanruan."
Chen Nuan’s face changed color.
The Lady of the Lin Family hurriedly said, "Commander Su, you can’t be like this. We, we just want what’s best for the two children! They are both in their twenties, and we just hope that they can get married soon."
Lin Lian no longer dared to speak at this point.
For some reason, she was a little afraid of this Su Wan.
Su Wan said calmly, "Whatever the matter, let’s wait until Xiaoluo arrives. After all, he is the person involved. You agree, right?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely."
Initially, they had wanted to intimidate Lin Ranyue, knowing that she was soft-hearted. As long as they mentioned that Xiaolian was being bullied by Lin Luo, Lin Ranyue would definitely feel sorry for Xiaolian. Once she agreed, the marriage would be no issue.
But who could have expected that Su Wan would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
Wasn’t it said that Su Wan had been away dealing with some mysterious business and hadn’t appeared on Landis Star for several days?
For a moment, the private room fell silent. Lin Ranyue asked Su Wan in a low voice, "Xiaowan, do you have other matters to attend to? Does staying here and waiting interfere with your time?"
The Lady of the Lin Family also said, "Yes, yes, if Commander Su is busy, you should go ahead with your work."
Su Wan: "I’m not busy. I was busy with something earlier, but I’ve just finished with that, and now I’m quite free."
People of the Lin Family: "..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
They ended up waiting for the better part of the day before Lin Luo hurried over.
"I received a last-minute notification to go to the research institute. The higher-level laboratory there is signal shielded." Lin Luo started to explain as soon as he entered but felt a bit guilty when he saw his sister Su Wan, "Sis, I’m sorry to worry you with my affairs when you’re so busy."
On his way here, Su Wan had Vermilion Bird send the recording of the conversation in this room to her brother Lin Luo.
As soon as he got out of that signal-shielded laboratory, he could receive the recording of this conversation.
Su Wan asked indifferently, "Xiaoluo, is it true that Lin Lian was with you through your Manic-Depressive Period?"
Lin Luo glanced at Lin Lian, who was avoiding his gaze.
He sighed and said, "Sis, that’s indeed what happened."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ranyue was at a loss for words, "Xiaoluo, how could you do this? Didn’t I teach you not to force other girls when your Manic-Depressive Period hit?"
"Mom, you misunderstand. I didn’t force Lin Lian. When my Manic-Depressive Period hit, I couldn’t find my exclusive medicine. Only Lin Lian was nearby, and she said she’d take me home to get the exclusive medicine in her aircraft. But, halfway there, the aircraft malfunctioned and crashed at an abandoned factory warehouse. We lost signal on our light-brains, and then Lin Lian told me she had admired me for a long time and was willing to be my exclusive medicine."
Lin Ranyue kicked her son’s shin in anger, "And then you just accepted her?"
Lin Luo, holding his shin, took refuge beside his sister Su Wan and said, "No, I didn’t, but then my consciousness suddenly became blurry, and by the time I was lucid again, Lin Lian had already helped me. Thinking that I was also at the age to get married and that Lin Lian and I had common ground as colleagues, I said we could try dating. She agreed."
Su Wan: "Oh, so even though you knew there was something fishy about Lin Lian becoming your exclusive medicine, since she did help you and she’s your colleague, and you didn’t have anyone else you liked, you decided to date her and see how it goes?"
"Yes! Sis, you really understand me!"
"Hmm, it’s a pity, though, that you failed to point out her scheming and agreed to try dating. But she wasn’t satisfied with just that; she wanted to force you into marriage. If you didn’t agree, they had set up today’s situation to pressure mom!"
