Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 767: If Bai Li Marries Someone Else...

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: If Bai Li Marries Someone Else...

Su Yao gazed longingly at Sheng Le.

Sheng Le was focused on cooking as if he hadn’t heard.

Then Su Yao looked longingly at Gu Yan, "Sister Xiaoyan, I can’t stay here anymore. Could you please apologize to grandma for me?"

After speaking, the girl cast another longing glance at Sheng Le and then turned and ran away.

How much did she not want to go home?

"Xiaoyao?" Gu Yan called out a few times, but to no avail; the girl was familiar with Lin Ranyue’s home and slipped away through the back door.

This was also to avoid meeting her mother.

Gu Yan murmured to herself, "What did her mother do to her in the past to make her so scared? Uncle Sheng Le, is she going to be okay?"

"She’ll be fine. This girl has gotten to know the main city of Landis Star these past few months, she’s definitely found a place to hide," Sheng Le said calmly as he donned his chef’s robe and deftly handled the ladle.

Gu Yan suddenly remembered the issue Xu Wei’an had mentioned.

Just now, Su Yao had eagerly looked at Sheng Le several times, but Sheng Le... his gaze was always on the pots and pans, on the various dishes.

Not a single moment was spent on Su Yao.

Even though Gu Yan admitted that Auntie Sheng An was exceptional.

But after all these years of marriage, why couldn’t Uncle Xiaole let go?

Can loving someone last for such a long time?

Gu Yan couldn’t help but wonder, if Bai Li married someone else, would she continue to love him?

Upon thinking this, she suddenly felt uneasy, and couldn’t explain why, as if there was a blockage in her chest.

"Xiaoyan?"

"Ah, Uncle Xiaole, what’s up?"

Sheng Le looked at the finely chopped celery that Gu Yan had mangled with a complex expression and said, "Why don’t you go out and chat with the others for a bit?"

Gu Yan looked down, saw the vegetables she had ruined, stuck out her tongue, nodded, and then sheepishly left.

There were domestic robots in the kitchen anyway, so there was no need to worry about exhausting Sheng Le, as he was just the head chef.

After Gu Yan left, Sheng Le took out his lightbrain and saw a message that had just come in.

Su Yao: Brother Sheng, let me know once my mom leaves, okay?

Sheng Le was silent for a few seconds before he finally replied with a simple "Okay".

No matter what, Su Man had a poor character, and Commander Xi Le was only concerned about military matters every day, without having the energy to take care of his children.

So, staying on Landis Star would be much better for Xiaoyao than returning with Su Man.

When Gu Yan walked out of the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief, she walked forward and bumped into Su Man.

Su Man had come here eagerly, but the others hardly paid her any attention.

She was also formidable, pretending not to see the disgust from others.

How nauseous she felt inside, who knew.

But on the surface, Su Man still maintained a beaming smile.

However, when she saw Gu Yan, her smile became more complex.

How could it not be complex?

Even Lord Insect God was about to marry into the Landis Star for this Gu Yan—how could this situation be justified?

This Gu Yan was just like her mother, Su Wan; both of them had the ability to manipulate influential people.

Hadn’t Commander Gu Jue been inexplicably entranced by Su Wan back in the day?

Although she inwardly made sarcastic remarks, Su Man’s face exuded enthusiasm towards Gu Yan.

She approached and said, "Aiya, isn’t this Xiaoyan? You’ve become more and more beautiful. You look so obedient and sensible. If only Xiaoyao could learn a thing or two from you."

Gu Yan was really speechless.

She even doubted that Su Man, who claimed to have come to Landis Star to visit her daughter, had actually seen her daughter at all.

This woman’s intentions were too obvious.

Even towards her own biological daughter, she was always using her.

Previously, Xiaoyao had told Gu Yan that her mother sent her here to build a good relationship with Gu Yan.

What was even more disgusting was that Su Man had also instructed her daughter Xiaoyao to seduce Gu Chen or Gu Yu.

Su Yao didn’t want to do these things to the Gu Family. She felt it was nice to stay in the restaurant, keeping busy with work, learning to cook, and going out for fun when on vacation.

Gu Yan disliked this Su Man and didn’t want to engage in polite conversation, so she just smiled faintly and turned to leave.

But Su Man immediately followed her. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

She said, "Xiaoyan, have you not been in contact with Lord Insect God recently?"

Gu Yan, on guard, "What’s the matter?"

Su Man: "Ah, Lord Insect God is busy commanding, but as a young lady, you should learn to care for a man. As someone who has been through it all, men, you see..."

"You’re certainly someone who has been through it all, but although you’ve married several men, it seems like you haven’t been very successful, have you?"

Su Man was displeased upon hearing this, turned around, and saw the white-haired Meira.

Gu Yan immediately ran to Grandma Meira’s side, "Grandma Meira, are you going to take a walk in the park? May I accompany you?"

"Sure."

It was only after walking away with Meira that Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

She whispered, "If you hadn’t shown up, I would have wanted to use instant teleportation to get away. That Su Man is so annoying."

Meira patted her hand and said, "Although you’re the younger one, she’s not a senior you need to respect. If it weren’t for the fact that Landis Star is on good terms with the Insectoids right now, I would have thrown her out already. So Xiaoyan, if you’re upset next time, just walk away. There’s no need to pay her any mind."

"Yeah, I got it."

"If she really angers you, and because you’re a well-behaved kid and won’t hit anyone, you can always tell on her. Go tell your parents, your older brother, hmm, even your boyfriend. The last one might be the most effective."

Gu Yan’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

Who would have thought that the most experienced one would be Grandma Meira!

Su Man stubbornly stayed for over two hours before leaving. Her next destination was the Su Family restaurant.

Of course, she sent a message to her daughter’s brain-computer interface, but her daughter replied saying she wasn’t at the restaurant, as she had the day off and had gone out to have fun.

Su Man was fuming and set off to catch her ungrateful daughter.

Gu Yan, somewhat worried, said to her mother Su Wan, "Mom, she won’t cause trouble at the Su Family restaurant, will she?"

Su Wan sneered, "She dares? If she does, I have a perfect excuse to beat her up, cripple her, and throw her at Xi Le."

Gu Yan: "..."

Why does it feel like mom, who talks about beating someone up herself, is terrifyingly cute!

Gu Yan really did detest Su Man, especially a mother who wasn’t good to her own daughter, especially when the daughter was young and hadn’t done anything wrong... Gu Yan decided to give this Su Man a good sorting out!

She thought for a moment and then, while eating her grandmother’s birthday cake, she sent a message to her boyfriend who was fighting in the Outer Star System.

She first took a picture of the cake.

Gu Yan: Today is grandma’s birthday, and it was supposed to be a happy occasion, but unfortunately, I ran into Su Man. She talked a lot of weird stuff to me!
