Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 772: Has Everyone Been Deceived by Jiang Huai?

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Has Everyone Been Deceived by Jiang Huai?

Su Yao smiled, "It’s fine, you can say whatever bad things you want about her, I don’t care about her anymore, because in my eyes, she long ago stopped deserving to be a mother. Honestly, a parent’s existence, like hers, really isn’t necessary anymore."

"No wonder you came here and never wanted to leave. What about your father? Is he not good to you either?"

"No, I am his only pure human daughter. His other children are either Insectoids or pure human boys, so being rare makes me valuable, and he has always been good to me."

"But in my father’s eyes, power is the most important thing. Women and children are just his appendages. And he’s very busy usually, you see, I’ve been away from home for so long now, and he hasn’t missed me much."

After all, she was a girl not yet twenty, and speaking to this point, the corners of her eyes began to mist up with tears.

Unloved by father and unloved by mother, even the strongest person cannot be without scars in their heart.

Gu Yan felt that the person at the door had been standing there for quite a while.

She quickly said, "Xiaoyao, hurry up and cut the cake, I’m telling you, this is my first time making a birthday cake, so you have to try it quickly."

"Okay."

Su Yao wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, then began to seriously cut the cake. She cut a piece for each of her three good friends and also left the largest piece aside.

"This piece is for Master!"

The unhappy topic from before was now over, and the atmosphere in the room warmed up again.

Sheng Le entered the room, holding a bowl of longevity noodles.

"Xiaoyao, happy birthday."

"Master..."

Xu Wei’an, standing beside her, was a bit envious, but it seemed to be just envy, not jealousy.

She envied not only the attention Sheng Le gave to Xiaoyao but also Xiaoyao’s courage.

Sheng Le, a man of few words, put down the bowl, greeted Gu Yan and the others, and then left, as the kitchen was very busy today and he needed to be there.

But before he left, Sheng Le gave Gu Yan a box of pastries, "Xiaoyan, this is something you and your mother like to eat, we made extra today, so you take it home with you."

"Thank you, Uncle Sheng."

After Sheng Le left, Xu Wei’an watched Su Yao cherish the bowl of noodles, her face so excited she was nearly in tears, and she said with emotion, "Manager Sheng is really thoughtful, in our Ancient Earth, eating longevity noodles is a birthday tradition. Xiaoyao, even if he’s rejected you and said he doesn’t like you, he definitely still cares about you."

"I know! He just thinks I’m too young! So, I will strive to grow up! After my birthday next year, I will confess to him once more!"

The simple birthday party continued until late. Weiwei’an and Xu Wei’an rode another vehicle home together, while Su Yao stayed here.

Gu Yan drove her vehicle home alone.

However, at the docking station, she ran into Jiang Huai again.

The incident she had nearly forgotten suddenly rushed back to her mind, and her surroundings seemed to fill with a sweet musky scent.

Her heart pounded erratically.

Could it be, had she truly fallen for someone else?

"Gu Yan, my vehicle’s been taken by a friend, could I ride back to school with you?"

Gu Yan’s first instinct was to refuse!

But the other person was very polite, and it wasn’t as if they hadn’t shared rides before.

In fact, the two of them had ridden together many times, including alone.

From the Su Family restaurant to Empire University, it was actually just about a five minute ride.

Suppressing all the confusion and strangeness in her heart, Gu Yan looked at Jiang Huai, whose eyes were as calm and tranquil as ever, just like a lake free from any impurities.

Had she been overthinking?

There’s no problem with Jiang Huai?

As she saw Weiwei’s and Xu Wei’an’s flying vehicle about to take off, Gu Yan pushed the flight button into Jiang Huai’s hand, "Since it’s like that, you can take my flying vehicle. I need to talk to Weiwei and the others anyway! Once you arrive at the school, just give the flight button to my little brother."

After that, Gu Yan ran towards Weiwei and the others’ flying vehicle without looking back.

The other party quickly noticed her and opened the hatch to let her in.

Gu Yan didn’t look back, since there were many flying vehicles at home anyway. Although she instinctively wanted to be close to this Jiang Huai, rationally, Gu Yan felt that there was something off about her state.

In such a situation, it was better not to be alone with Jiang Huai.

Even if, it was only for a few short minutes.

Seeing Gu Yan jump onto the flying vehicle, Weiwei became very alert, "Xiaoyan, what happened?"

Gu Yan sat on the chair and let out a slight sigh of relief, "I’m not sure yet, just start the flying vehicle. Can you guys take me home?"

"Of course, no problem."

On this end, Xu Wei’an had already learned how to drive the flying vehicle. She immediately nodded, went to control the flying vehicle, and changed the address setting to Commander Gu’s residence to take Gu Yan home first.

Feeling relieved, Gu Yan looked up and through the glass, she noticed Jiang Huai had already boarded the flying vehicle and was also adeptly controlling it, flying towards Empire University.

Gu Yan frowned slightly.

Could it be that she was overthinking things?

Did Jiang Huai not have any issues at all?

But even if Jiang Huai had no problems, her inexplicable desire to be close to him was a big problem, right?

So, the one with the issue, could it be her?

Weiwei, being especially smart, noticed Gu Yan’s unrest and asked, "I just saw you give the flight button to Jiang Huai, and then you suddenly came to our flying vehicle. Is it related to him? What did he say to you?"

Gu Yan couldn’t admit her true feelings, so she could only inquire indirectly, "Nothing much, it’s just, I suddenly didn’t want to be alone with him. Weiwei, what do you think of Jiang Huai?"

"He’s quite good, a gentleman, intelligent, and even the most critical person couldn’t find fault with him after dealing with him. As an exchange student, sometimes they can be met with resistance, but there hasn’t been a single student who had any issues with Jiang Huai. Even the teachers praise him."

On this end, Xu Wei’an didn’t know much about Jiang Huai, having not seen him very often.

Plus, after coming to Landis Star, she had seen too many handsome guys and had become numb to it.

So she didn’t find Jiang Huai particularly handsome.

Curious, she asked, "From what you say, this person seems to be a perfect existence! But does such a perfect person truly exist?"

Gu Yan’s heart sank.

No, in fact, a person who is one hundred percent perfect does not exist!

For instance, many of the people she knew were exceptionally skilled, but each of them, even including herself, had some flaws.

There’s no such thing as a perfect human.

Gu Yan remembered her mother telling her that, whether beastmen, plantmen, or insectoids, their essence is human.

And humans have emotions and desires, they all have some sort of longing.

Once humans have desires, they become unsatisfied. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Then, they have flaws.

The more Gu Yan thought about everyone having a good impression of Jiang Huai, a wildly absurd idea suddenly struck her heart.

Could it be that all of them had been deceived by Jiang Huai?
