Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 761 When to Take Action

Jian Tong, the senior, isn’t a bad person.

But when she does things, she likes to put people in a position where they feel morally obliged, making it seem like rejecting her is almost an act of injustice.

Gu Yan directly stated what the matter was.

Vivian decisively said, "Don’t help with this favor. You should know that since you’re a Plantman, and because of your parents and brother’s relationships, these Plantman exchange students will pay more attention to you. In other words, originally Liu Jie didn’t want to see Jian Tong, but with your involvement, he might agree to meet her out of consideration for you, which is exactly what Jian Tong wants."

"Liu Jie is avoiding Jian Tong to steer clear of suspicions. But why does Jian Tong insist on seeing Liu Jie? Didn’t she date Feng Hao for many years? It can’t be that she suddenly started liking Liu Jie, right?"

Vivian said indifferently, "Do you really believe they broke up? Let me tell you, they can’t be separated. Jian Tong seeking out Liu Jie this time is probably to spite Feng Hao."

Gu Yan was utterly speechless.

What kind of logic is this?

She said, "Well then, I’ll mention it to Liu Jie. If he disagrees, then all the better. If he agrees, I’ll tell Jian Tong to bring Feng Hao along to apologize, that’s the only way Liu Jie would agree."

If Jian Tong can’t bring Feng Hao to apologize later on... it’s basically impossible. Feng Hao is hot-tempered and impulsive, and seeing Liu Jie again will surely result in him starting a fight.

Vivian nodded, "In the end, their meeting is their business; you stay out of it."

"Mhm."

Gu Yan relayed the message to Liu Jie, and surprisingly, he agreed to it right away.

He did have a condition, though, he wanted Gu Yan to be present.

Liu Jie said, "Gu Yan, I’m worried that things might not be clear when the time comes, so please be there so that in case of any misunderstandings, we can clarify them."

"You can bring Jiang Huai with you."

"No, no, no, Jiang Huai and I are both Plantmen, as close as brothers. His testimony might be seen as biased and unfair by others."

"Then..."

"If you feel anything is inappropriate, let’s meet at the Su Family restaurant. It’s a public place and it’s better that way."

Since he had said so much, Gu Yan had no choice. She turned around and went to inform Jian Tong about it.

And she mentioned that Liu Jie had requested an apology from Feng Hao in person.

Jian Tong was clearly troubled.

"That’s a bit difficult, Gu Yan. You don’t know how stubborn Feng Hao can be. Sigh, we’re in the midst of breaking up, he definitely won’t go."

Hearing Jian Tong saying ’we’re in the midst of breaking up,’ Gu Yan’s expression became very subtle.

Vivian was right.

Maybe these two won’t end up parting ways after all.

Then, not only Liu Jie, but she, Gu Yan, would also end up being used.

Although there was no malice intended, Gu Yan still felt a bit annoyed, and finally she said, "Then there’s nothing I can do, senior. I’ve tried my best, so let’s just forget it."

After hanging up the communication, Gu Yan sent a message to Liu Jie, implying that Jian Tong had not yet decided whether to meet or not, suggesting that they discuss it another time.

After putting down the photon computer, Liu Jie said to Jiang Huai, puzzled, "Jiang Bro, what happened? It didn’t go as you said. Wasn’t Jian Tong supposed to come and apologize to me? Why is she not coming now?"

Jiang Huai was sitting there, sipping his coffee, his slender fingers gliding over the coffee cup.

"This situation wasn’t going to be resolved instantly anyway. Moreover, Gu Yan is very intelligent."

"So, how do we approach Gu Yan next?"

"Don’t rush, the war won’t end so quickly. If we move too swiftly and Gu Yan notices, it wouldn’t be good."

The kind of pollen needed was the kind that moisturizes things quietly. Over time, the user would develop trust in the target person.

But it required contact with Gu Yan’s food.

Eating together was the best opportunity.

Usually, Gu Yan didn’t eat at school, nor did she live there, so it was very difficult for them to meet.

Gu Yan had previously eaten with Jiang Huai, but afterward, such occasions had all but ceased, and without a reason, it was very difficult to have a meal together.

Gu Yan had no idea what she had narrowly missed.

After some reflection, she resolved that in the future, when she encountered someone like Jian Tong, she should outright refuse them.

Especially since not long after, Gu Yan indeed saw Jian Tong and Feng Hao walking through the campus intimately, and unbelievably, Jian Tong even waved to greet Gu Yan.

Gu Yan: "..."

She turned her head to Vivian by her side and said, "I truly admire people like Jian Tong. You call her your friend, but when it comes to a crunch, she uses you. If she’s not your friend, then she’s overly affectionate, closer than sisters whenever she sees you."

"’Those who do not share values cannot make plans together.’ That’s why we can never become true friends with her. People like us, we will not be friends with her, and nor will people like her be friends with each other."

"Why?"

"Because they all know that they are only using each other as tools. Such plastic friendships, which lack even basic trust, how can they be considered true friendships?"

Gu Yan suddenly saw the light!

The two then talked about Xu Wei’an.

Vivian said, "Xu Wei’an must have given up on Sheng Le, because she feels that just being able to come here to live, to have a chance to live a few more decades, and to meet us, already makes her very happy and contented. As for romantic relationships, let it be."

Gu Yan reflected, "Actually, her character is quite open-minded."

"She’s open-minded now, but you don’t know how in the past, upon facing any issue, she would be the first to doubt herself. She believed she couldn’t do it, that she was incapable, and eventually, she truly became incapable of anything, turning into a real ’small waste’."

"It’s probably related to her childhood experiences. Now that she’s living happily, she will gradually change for the better."

"Hmm."

The two slowly walked off into the distance.

Meanwhile, Jiang Huai was on a call with his father, Jiang Shang.

"Xiaohuai, haven’t you made your move yet? Are you hesitating?"

"No, Father. Gu Yan is very clever; I can’t rush this."

"But you need to hurry up. The war has already passed its halfway point, and the victory of the Landis Alliance Army is practically a foregone conclusion. We continue to fight in the hopes of achieving complete peace in the Universe. You don’t have much time left."

Jiang Huai thought of Gu Yan’s beautiful eyes, and he lowered his gaze, "Father, I understand."

"Xiaohuai, for the future of our Plantmen, you must get Gu Yan at any cost, understand? Your superpower hasn’t been exposed yet, and if it really becomes necessary, you could..."

"I will think about it some more."

"Alright, you are always cautious in your actions; Father trusts you."

After the communication ended, Jiang Huai sat quietly in his dormitory, with sunlight streaming in through the window.

If he used his superpower, then the odds of success in winning over Gu Yan would increase by many times.

But would Gu Yan hate him, once she found out the truth?

"Gu Yan, I don’t want you to hate me..."
