Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 734: You Should Change Your Surname

Having just taken a bath, Su Wan was draped in long hair, with her youthful and lush features, lazily yawning. Yet at the corners of her eyes and brows, there was a mocking smirk.

"I thought the Lin Family would know when to quit while they were ahead, and I wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. But who would have guessed, the greed in people never knows any boundaries. What, they thought by causing a scene, they could tarnish our reputation and force us into a compromise? Naive!"

Su Wan usually had a good temper and didn’t get angry.

But everyone who knew her was aware that once she really got angry, the consequences were something no one could bear.

So that remark by Bai Li was the most accurate.

In the Commander’s residence of the Gu Family, those who lived there knew that the most fearsome person wasn’t Gu Jue or Gu Chen.

It was Su Wan.

Gu Jue reached out to embrace his wife, "Wanwan, don’t be angry. Shall I take care of it?"

"No need. It wouldn’t be fun if you handled it directly."

"Mhm, you do whatever you wish," the Commander doted on his wife, kissing her forehead. After all, as long as his wife wasn’t angry, everything was fine.

Su Wan wasn’t truly angry; after all, the Lin Family wasn’t worth it.

First, she had Bai Ze investigate the detailed information of the person who posted the message. Then Lin Ranyue also learned about this, and her first reaction was to contact her daughter.

"Xiaowan, hasn’t this affected you? Ah, this is all Xiaoluo’s fault! Xiaoluo, come here and apologize to your sister!"

"Sister, I’m sorry."

Su Wan spoke calmly, "It’s fine, they don’t have the capability to affect me. But Xiaoluo, since you decided to try dating that Lin Lian, you should have some detailed information about her private life. Send it to me, and I won’t investigate myself."

Of course, Su Wan could still conduct her own investigation if she wished.

She gave her brother something to do so that he wouldn’t feel too guilty.

Also, she wanted to see who was leading the charge online. If it was someone else from the Lin Family, Su Wan wouldn’t be so harsh on the young girl Lin Lian.

But what if Lin Lian was the person herself?

Lin Luo sent Lin Lian’s information over promptly, saying, "Sister, if she isn’t the mastermind..."

"I know, I won’t give her too hard a time. I will only target the mastermind."

It was clear that they were targeting Su Wan; it would be a cold day in hell before she let them off!

As the online commotion escalated, those forces that had opposed Gu Chen becoming emperor started to surface.

They believed Su Wan was shielding her brother’s misdeeds and that it would influence Gu Chen, suggesting he was unfit to be emperor and the throne should be returned to Gu Ruanruan.

After hearing this, Gu Chen scoffed, coldly instructing Bai Ze to gather the information on those speakers and send it to him.

Bai Ze: Your Majesty, I’ve gathered the information. These people are all very ordinary, just regular citizens. As of now, my data scan hasn’t found any connection between them.

Gu Chen: Mhm, the other party has been very cautious. But who was the most jubilant about having me abdicate the throne to Gu Ruanruan before? It must be one of their people.

That was an easy question to answer.

It was the Luo Family and the Lin Family.

The matter grew more heated; in the dead of night, Gu Ruanruan called Gu Chen.

"Xiaochen, I’ll investigate who’s behind this. Don’t worry about it."

Gu Ruanruan was genuinely vexed; she was perfectly content with her life as Commander, occasionally going out to man starships, operate mechas, kill star beasts, and fight star thieves.

What a thrilling life it was!

Why were there always people popping up, insisting that she take on the role of emperor?

Gu Ruanruan felt a sense of irritability and really wanted to go out in a mecha and hack at people!

In contrast to her restlessness and anger, Gu Chen was very calm and composed, "Ruanruan, you can rest assured, I know how to handle this. Right now, we just have to wait for mother’s orders."

"Hmm, whether it’s the Luo Family or the Lin Family, once the evidence is solid, you can do as you please!"

One is her maternal family, and the other is her in-laws.

Neither of them is easy to deal with, huh!

Having no significant skills yet still daring to challenge authority, what, do they think the Gu Family is so easy to take advantage of because they seem good-natured?

Do they not realize that if the Gu Family were so easy-going, they wouldn’t have been able to establish such a prosperous Landis Star?

They’re even planning on how to initiate a universe war!

After ending the call and putting down the light-brain, Gu Ruanruan still rubbed her temples in anger and, feeling frustrated, stretched out her foot to kick her sleeping husband awake.

Lin Rui had just come off a night shift yesterday and hadn’t slept all night; he only returned this evening and quickly fell asleep holding his wife.

At this moment, he was still oblivious to the matter on the internet, let alone that his family had stirred up such a monstrous incident.

"Ruanruan, what’s wrong?" He wasn’t angry at all about being kicked awake by his wife but instead reached out his hand to pull her into his arms.

Gu Ruanruan pushed him away and said seriously, "Lin Rui, I need to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

"You should change your surname!"

"..."

Lin Rui was initially confused, not understanding why he should change his surname for no reason, but after seeing the news online, his handsome face darkened instantly.

He prayed that all of this was the doing of the Luo Family.

But who could have expected that Su Wan had already obtained definite information?

The person who posted that message wasn’t on Landis Star, but their identity had been dug up; they had lived and studied on Landis Star until they were twelve years old.

This reporter was neither from the Lin Family nor the Luo Family nor had any marital ties to them.

It was only that in a photo of his primary school classmates, there was Lin Lian.

Nameless Star.

Three-thirty in the morning.

The man was excitedly looking at the discussions fermenting online, planning to seek credit from Lin Lian after daybreak.

But the next moment, his house door was kicked open.

Fully-armed Star Warriors, pointing weapons at him, said, "Is this Li Tao? Come with us."

Li Tao was shocked, "I am a law-abiding citizen, I haven’t committed any crimes, you can’t arrest me!"

"Still a law-abiding citizen after posting something like that?"

"I, I was just discussing the facts! I was simply objectively stating a fact! Commander Su has always been gentle and magnanimous, she wouldn’t mind what netizens say online!"

The Star Warrior recalled Commander Su’s gentle smile in the projection, but her smile contained a chill, and he shuddered subconsciously.

Gentle and magnanimous?

No no no, that’s only for those who deserve it.

For someone who has overstepped as much as this, being gentle and magnanimous would just be foolish!

Obviously, Commander Su was even wiser than many of them, possessing both softness and strength, and indeed, she was the most powerful!

The Star Warrior looked at the reporter with a sympathetic gaze, "Then you should just go to Commander Su and let her be magnanimous enough to forgive your indiscretion."

After saying this, he arrested the man and took him to the aircraft.
