Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 735: You Are Not That Close

This night was destined to be sleepless for everyone.

Although that reporter was arrested,

Lin Lian actually attempted suicide on live broadcast!

Upon seeing the news online, Su Wan shook her head, "Fortunately, she didn’t marry Xiaoluo. Otherwise, my parents would have been so distressed in the future."

This girl, she really knew how to cause drama!

In comparison, Su Wan felt that her own daughter was much more lovable and sensible.

Gu Yan did not sleep either; she simply couldn’t.

The young girl asked worriedly, "Mom, she wouldn’t really commit suicide, right?"

"No," Su Wan said with great certainty, "She just hopes to win back Xiaoluo’s heart. She really wants to marry Xiaoluo, but no matter whether her feelings for Xiaoluo are genuine or if she’s after something else, after what she’s done, there’s no turning back for her."

In the past, Lin Ranyue didn’t care much about her son’s marriage; she was more democratic and supported her son’s freedom to love.

But now, with Lin Lian being so troublesome, Lin Ranyue wouldn’t let her son marry her.

And now, even if Lin Ranyue agreed, Su Wan would stop them.

The people stirring up trouble were indeed brought in by the Lin Family; they didn’t actually know who had posted the message, but they seized this perfect opportunity to pressure the Imperial Palace with public opinion.

If Gu Ruanruan ascended to the throne, they wouldn’t have to be so eager for Lin Lian to marry Lin Luo.

But as the situation escalated, those who posted the messages were dug up. At first glance, they seemed unconnected, but once a single answer was released... it was either the Lin Family or the Luo Family.

Or rather, for Su Wan and the others, they could directly target the Lin Family.

Then, by backtracking, they unearthed the intricate web of relationships.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before these people were arrested, and those from the Lin Family in decent positions, anyone involved in this incident, were affected.

Old Madam Lin was dumbfounded and rushed to Lin Yu in a panic.

Lin Yu, having quarreled with Chen Nuan, had slept in separate rooms that night, and now, as morning was about to break, his brows furrowed deeply after hearing what Old Madam Lin said.

Old Madam Lin pleaded, "Xiaoyu, you have to save the Lin Family this time! Many of our family have been arrested, the Lin Family is doomed!"

Lin Yu sighed in frustration, "I’ve told you before not to mess with the Su family! You planned to deceive them, and even slandered them online? Forced Gu Chen to abdicate? Don’t you understand yet? The Gu Family decides who takes the throne. Gu Ruanruan has no intention to sit on it, hasn’t Xiaorui told you all this before?"

Old Madam Lin sobbed, "But isn’t it too late to say all this now?"

Lin Yu took a deep breath; he truly couldn’t just watch the Lin Family fall apart.

"What’s the situation now?"

"Many of them have been taken away..."

Turning around, Lin Yu picked up his jacket, "I’ll go out and ask about the situation, and then see what the Su family thinks."

In fact, he didn’t want to go and see Su Wan again.

But with today’s incident, it was probably unavoidable.

Chen Nuan, who came out upon hearing the noise, clothed in her garments, frowned immediately after hearing their conversation, "Are you going to find Su Wan?"

Lin Yu: "Is there any other way?"

Old Madam Lin, seeing that Lin Yu was going to find Su Wan, felt relieved, after all, Lin Yu had been Su Wan’s classmate before.

But Chen Nuan tried to stop Lin Yu, which displeased Old Madam Lin, "Xiaonuan, what do you mean by this? Are you not letting Lin Yu go save our Lin Family?"

"Auntie, I didn’t mean that."

"Then what did you mean? If Lin Yu had married Su Wan back then, we, the Lin Family, would have been living the good life long ago. Would we still need to go through all this trouble today?"

Chen Nuan’s face turned very ugly upon hearing these words.

Lin Yu had no heart to comfort Chen Nuan anymore, because he felt quite overwhelmed. No matter what, his priority was to ensure the safety of the Lin Family first.

After all, this incident hadn’t caused any irrevocable damage yet.

After changing his clothes, Lin Yu turned and left the house, boarded the aircraft, and didn’t care about what Chen Nuan was saying behind him.

Once on the aircraft, he hesitated for a long time before finally dialing the main signal for communication, connecting with the central brain, Bai Ze.

Lin Yu: Bai Ze, I have an urgent matter and would like to get in contact with Commander Su Wan. Could you help me reach her?

Since they had previously deleted each other’s contact information, Lin Yu had to submit a new request to contact Su Wan.

If Su Wan didn’t want to connect... then Bai Ze would directly inform Lin Yu of her decision.

Of course, not everyone is privileged enough to make calls through Bai Ze.

The aircraft flew for a long time, and Lin Yu had already arrived at the entrance to Commander Gu’s residence. He parked the aircraft and quietly waited.

On the other side, Su Wan had already received a message from Bai Ze.

She lazily yawned.

"Ajue, can I take it?"

"Go ahead," Gu Jue said seriously, "I never considered Lin Yu a threat, and he’s even older and uglier now, certainly no match for me."

Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

This man, at his age, still had such a strong streak of jealousy, and what was most important was that he was becoming colder, more venomous with his words as he aged.

His possessiveness hadn’t diminished at all.

Su Wan directly answered Lin Yu’s call and put it on speaker. She didn’t rush to speak, waiting for the other party to start the conversation.

Lin Yu hadn’t expected Su Wan to connect so readily.

He nervously took several deep breaths, then said, "Su Wan, long time no see. I imagine you already know why I am contacting you so presumptuously today. It’s because of the Lin Family, of course. They did wrong, I admit that, but I just hope you can be lenient."

Su Wan: "I hadn’t planned on punishing them severely, the most they might face is, given their actions, whether they’ll face some repercussions in their field of work is now uncertain."

Those from the Lin Family who worked in various departments had been investigated intensively overnight, and even if the investigations concluded with their innocence and they were released, some of them might not be able to keep their jobs.

Others might maintain their jobs, but they would have left a negative impression on their leaders.

For some, the consequences were more serious—any hope for future promotion was likely gone.

Lin Yu also understood these long-term effects. He knew that if that really happened, it would be the end of the Lin Family unless one day, a highly capable and exceptional person appeared who could turn things around completely.

He said bitterly, "This would destroy the Lin Family. Could you perhaps speak to their leaders and explain that they were misled and made a mistake in the moment? They deserve a chance to correct their actions."

"They spoke ill of me, and I let that pass, but they incited people to force Xiaochen to abdicate in favor of Ruanruan. In itself, this act, if looked at seriously, could even be judged as a conspiracy, the work of alien forces aiming to overthrow Landis Star! I’ve already shown restraint, what more do they want? This is not their first time, Lin Yu, you know it well. Time and again, do you think my family and I are made of clay, without any temper? That I don’t immediately expel all of the Lin’s from Landis Star shows just how merciful we have been!"

"Xiaowan, you, how could you become like this?" Lin Yu’s voice sounded pained.

He didn’t know whether the pain stemmed from the family’s impending disaster or Su Wan having become different from the person he remembered, but he felt deeply heartbroken and distressed.

However, at this moment, before Su Wan could respond, a man’s cold voice slowly resonated.

"Either call her Commander Su or Boss Su; you’re not allowed to call her Xiaowan, you’re not that close to my wife!"
