Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Confronting the White Lotus
Just then, a commotion was heard from the other side, and Lin Ranyue came into the yard with the guests.
Jiang Ye’s mother, upon hearing it, instantly changed color. She pulled her daughter over and whispered, "Xiaoye, stop making a scene, hurry up and apologize to the Commander’s wife."
Jiang Ye cried, "I don’t want to apologize to her, what right does she have to scold me? As the Commander’s wife, she lacks even this bit of tolerance, she doesn’t deserve the title at all!"
"Mom, stop pulling me, don’t you also wish that I could marry Commander Gu?"
The face of Jiang Ye’s mother darkened in an instant.
She looked over at her good friend Lin Ranyue nervously.
Lin Ranyue’s face sank, "So you had this in mind when you came to see me today? Huh, if that’s the case, then we don’t need to continue this friendship! The door is that way!"
The other mother and daughter did not have this intention, but they couldn’t admit it at this time.
Jiang Ye’s mother, with an embarrassed expression, went over to coax Lin Ranyue, uttering apologies.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ye cried, feeling very aggrieved.
Su Wan didn’t even feel the desire to beat up this white lotus anymore.
However, Jiang Ye assumed that Su Wan was in the wrong.
Red-eyed, she looked around, and finally, her gaze landed on the two children playing by the pond.
And there, Little Gu Chen was watching her.
Jiang Ye immediately walked over to Little Gu Chen and said, "You are Little Gu Chen, right? Your mother is so fierce, always scolding people, aren’t you afraid of her?"
"Isn’t she always busy and has no time to take care of you?"
The baby with wolf ears blinked and suddenly had an epiphany.
"I get it, you’re here to take my dad away from my mom, aren’t you?"
Jiang Ye’s expression became complicated. She was just about to explain when she felt her legs go numb!
The next moment, she was kicked into the pond by the suddenly leaping wolf-eared baby!
"Ah!"
Little Gu Chen could now control his electricity well.
It was just enough to make the other party suffer, but not enough to fry her.
Not to mention, water is the main stage for electricity.
A little bit was enough to make this bad woman who was trying to steal his dad suffer!
It was Jiang Ye’s mother who noticed that her daughter could not climb out of the pool for a long time, and was screaming continuously.
Only then did she realize something was wrong!
Amidst the chaos,
they finally fished her out, but she was in a very sorry state.
Lin Ranyue was in no mood to entertain them any further and bluntly drove them away.
Before leaving, she said to Jiang Ye’s mother, "You know me, I usually have a very good temper, but that’s only when my limits are not crossed. My child is my greatest limit."
"Anyone trying to destroy my daughter’s family is an enemy in my eyes."
"Leave, and let’s pretend we were never friends."
Finally, with the guests gone, Lin Ranyue felt very guilty.
"Xiaowan, I had no idea they had such intentions..."
Su Wan waved her hand and patted her son’s dog ears, saying, "Mom, you’re not to blame for this. And don’t be angry, see, I’m not angry, am I? But in the future, you can use this as an opportunity to filter out your friends."
It’s better not to associate with those who have ulterior motives.
Su Wan thought her own situation was actually fine.
That young girl was aggressive but was still wary of her.
Not to mention, Xiaochen was there.
During this time, Luo Manya probably wasn’t having an easy time either.
Su Wan guessed correctly.
Even though Gu Zilan, like his uncle Gu Jue, was very faithful to his wife and would never marry another woman,
some women, like Jiang Ye, had corrupted worldviews and shamelessly thick skins.
And they even had the audacity to act like a victimized green tea white lotus!
**
In the Imperial Palace.
Luo Manya was entertaining her mother and younger sister.
The news of Luo Jina’s pregnancy had made them all very happy.
Yet, there was a dark glint in their mother’s eyes as she seemed burdened with worries.
Luo Jina, always speaking her mind, said, "Mom, what’s wrong? Are you not happy about my pregnancy?"
Luo’s mother sighed and said, "You silly girl, how could I not be happy? But, I’ve heard many rumors, and they all say that His Majesty should take several more wives."
As she spoke, she lifted her head to look at her elder daughter.
Luo Jina was taken aback.
She said in astonishment, "Are those people insane? Or are they just idle and overly full?!"
After speaking, Luo Jina looked worriedly at her older sister, Luo Manya, "Sis, don’t overthink it. His Majesty is not that kind of person."
The truth was, Gu Zilan had been comforting her all of last night.
Luo Manya raised her head, looking at her mother who was filled with worries, and said, "Mom, have they come pleading to you and Dad’s side?"
The Luo Family was perceptive, but they also had relatives of their own.
Luo’s mother let out a sigh.
"They are also considering the well-being of the family. However, that would be too unfair to you, so no matter what, your father and I will never force you into anything."
Luo Jina was confused.
But Luo Manya understood.
She smiled gently, "Mom, don’t make it hard on you or Dad. Anyone else who dares entertain such thoughts can come to me directly."
She slowly set down her teacup.
"If they even dare."
The matter of forming an alliance indeed stirred a lot of situations among the high nobility of the Federal Empire.
Everyone was weighing the pros and cons.
Of course, some were indifferent to it all.
But from the perspective of this grand integration, all the various powers in the universe were actually undergoing change and reorganization.
Under such circumstances, Interstellar Warriors from the seventh and eighth Starship Fleets faced their assessments.
Their assessment location was at the Training Star Base.
Before heading to the Training Star Base, Su Wan specifically asked Ouyang Qing to help Luo Jina undergo a comprehensive medical examination.
The result was that she was still not fit to participate in the assessment.
Luo Jina: "..."
The young missus almost cried out aloud.
She muttered, "I’ve been working hard for the past three years, just so that when the assessment came, I could cheer on my comrades with them."
Ouyang Qing: "There will be many more opportunities in the future for you to fight side-by-side with your comrades."
Luo Jina, with tears in her eyes, "But it’s not the same! Moreover, this time, if I don’t pass the assessment, the eighth Starship Fleet might be disbanded..."
Other Starship Fleets’ Interstellar Warriors will also undergo assessments.
But those are individual assessments.
Only the seventh and eighth fleets undergo a full-fleet assessment.
Such an assessment, though it appears to carry a lot of pressure, is likewise an opportunity.
If they perform exceptionally well during the assessment, there is a chance for a direct promotion of military rank.
Su Wan reached out and grabbed Luo Jina’s hand, "Don’t worry, we’ll all work hard for your part too. The eighth Starship Fleet definitely won’t be disbanded!"
Luo Jina waved her hand, urging Su Wan to leave quickly.
Worried that seeing her there would make it harder for herself.
Su Wan had no choice but to turn and leave first.
After watching her depart, Luo Jina then let out a sigh.
"If only I were a Beastman, then even pregnant, I could participate in the assessment."
