Su Man had a rough idea of what was going on.
But her expression remained calm, because it wasn’t a big deal; just that at the bottom of her heart, she was sowhat puzzled. Why did Xi Le find out about it so quickly?
Was it those Insectoids who proactively spoke to him?
Su Man, "Xi Le, what’s wrong with you?"
Xi Le pointed at those Insectoids, "Did you send them to cause trouble at the Su Family restaurant today?"
Su Man, "That didn’t happen! Who told you that? I just said that the food at the Su Family restaurant is really good and took them along to taste it."
Xi Le, "They’ve already said that it was you who told them to deliberately cause problems!"
Su Man, "..."
Xi Le waved his hand, letting the several Insectoids leave until only the two of them, husband and wife, remained in the room.
Xi Le, with a cold face, "Su Man, what did I tell you before we ca here? Didn’t I tell you not to offend Su Wan? What was your response to ?"
Truth be told, Xi Le had been very good to Su Man over the years.
Initially, it was Lucifer who, in an effort to foster relations with the Insectoids, sent Su Man to the Insectoid Xi Le. Later on, when Doris led the Insectoids to a crushing defeat and completely broke away from the Star Thieves accompanied by Lucifer, Xi Le actually survived, managing not to die in the war like other Insectoids.
Moreover, when fleeing for his life, he even rembered to take Su Man with him.
Because Su Man was carrying his child.
But now, Xi Le was truly disappointed in Su Man. The insectoid carapace parts began to erge slowly on his face, making his entire appearance sowhat fierce.
Su Man was scared and quickly said, "I really didn’t start any trouble! Su Wan still bears a grudge over the past incident. I genuinely wanted to reconcile our differences, so I thought of finding a reason to visit the Su Family, to get on good terms with its mbers first."
"I did make them confront the Beastn, but there definitely was no troublemaking. I stopped it right away. It was actually just a chance to suck up to the Su Family, to get close to them. Didn’t you also say we ca here to establish good relations with the people of Landis Star?"
Xi Le looked at Su Man’s anxious appearance. Having been married for many years, he naturally knew she wasn’t lying.
He said in an indifferent tone, "Your tricks are too crude, and Su Wan saw right through them."
Su Man let out a self-deprecating laugh, "She’s always been very clever."
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that aside from being luckier than her, Su Wan was indeed very smart.
The anger had left Xi Le’s face as he said, "If you want to make peace with Su Wan, you can’t resort to underhanded tactics, or it will backfire!"
"I know that now..."
They were only supposed to stay here for a few days. Su Man had wanted Yaoyao to get close to the Insect God, but the Insect God was to accompany the exchange students on a month-long military training!
By the ti the month was up, they would have to leave!
Su Man actually wanted to leave her daughter behind. Even if she couldn’t get close to Lord Insect God, it would be good to get close to so useful people from Landis Star!
But the key question was, if her daughter stayed behind, to whom could she entrust her?
Su Man’s mind flashed with a na, Su Ni!
At this mont, Su Ni returned ho only to be scolded bloody by his wife Cecilia!
"Xiaowan had contacted you in advance and told you, yet how could you still do such a stupid thing? Don’t you know how much everyone is annoyed by Su Man? If she hadn’t co with the visiting Insectoid delegation, they would have kicked her out directly!"
"And then there’s you, bringing her over uninvited? All these years, haven’t we been working hard to reconnect with Grandpa and Xiaowan, to get closer to them? Look at you, you’ve just blown our decade of efforts to smithereens!"
Burdened by guilt, Su Ni shrunk his neck, helplessly saying, "I was thinking, Xiaoman doesn’t have any ill intentions, she has been drifting alone for all these years, it’s quite pitiful."
"She’s pitiful? Wasn’t it her own choice to walk this path? Was she forced by soone? When the Su Family adopted her, if she hadn’t been up to no good, colluding with her mother, would your family have fallen apart? Would your parents have divorced? Not to ntion, wasn’t it Su Man’s own mother who caused your father’s death?!"
Su Ni opened his mouth, intending to say that it was Du Weiwei’s doing, but to so extent, at that ti, Su Man was completely an accomplice to her mother Du Weiwei, she must have been aware of it and didn’t tell them secretly.
In any case, no matter how you look at it, Su Man is not innocent.
Su Ni was rendered completely speechless.
Cecilia brought up the incident at the restaurant, saying, "This incident, at first glance, doesn’t seem to be a problem, just a dispute over a dish. But if you think about it carefully, there are flaws. The Su Family’s restaurant has been selling dishes made from Insect Beasts for many years, and those Insectoids would definitely know who the owner of the Su Family’s restaurant is, so they clearly just concocted a reason on purpose."
"And yet there you are, showing gratitude to Su Man like an absolute fool!"
Cecilia now is extrely relieved that their children did not inherit Su Ni’s intelligence, for life would truly be unbearable otherwise.
She could stand one fool, but two fools in her life was sothing she could not tolerate!
Su Ni was rebuked to the point he couldn’t utter a word. In the end, he mumbled softly, "Does Xiaowan an that I shouldn’t go to the restaurant for the ti being?"
"You still want to go to the restaurant? Reflect on yourself at ho!"
"..."
After being scolded by his grandfather and mother, and despised by his sister Xiaowan, and now scolded by his wife, Su Ni felt a bit autistic, finally saying dejectedly, "Wife, next ti, for any matter related to Su Man, I will ask for your opinion in advance, okay?"
Cecilia sneered, "You still want to keep in touch with her?"
"No, no, no, I an, like today’s unexpected encounter, if it were usual, I definitely wouldn’t initiate any contact with her."
Cecilia responded coldly, "In any case, if there’s a next ti, I’ll just live separately with the children and save myself from being embarrassed with you!"
"Don’t! Please don’t!"
The second child’s household had a round of argunts, and the events of today quickly spread to Su Yun and Lan Rui’s ho.
Lan Rui asked out of curiosity, "Ah Yun, did Su Man contact you?"
"She did. It seed like she was feeling out the situation, then said she was busy, and after that, we didn’t talk further."
"I think Su Man is quite clever; in fact, she understands the character of each mber of your family quite well. This ti, Xiaowan must be quite angry. I hope Su Ni won’t do such a thing again."
Su Yun didn’t dwell on it, as he was now fully focused on cha research. He had established a stable position within the cha Research Center.
Even if he couldn’t beco the head of the cha Research Center in the short term, as long as he continued to work hard and didn’t give up technically, he still had a chance.
Previously, he had always thought about leveraging power and took many detours, but later he realized sothing: when you borrow strength, if the strength you’ve relied on falls, you go down with it.
