Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Uncle, My Dad Gets Jealous Easily!
Su Yun had been doing well these past few years, having been promoted to the position of Director of the Mecha Research Center.
Young and promising, the future was bright.
From the exterior, he seemed gentle and humble, but in reality, he wasn’t easy to approach.
Even now, his way of speaking carried a hint of sharp assertiveness.
Others might fear him, but Su Wan certainly did not.
Even going so far as to say with a light laugh, "If it were just a family dinner, like the one when Su Ni and Cecilia got married, that would be one thing. But this is different, take a look for yourself, how many people from the Lan Family have come?"
Even if Lan Rui was no longer the Mermaid Princess, her status still far exceeded Su Yun’s.
To marry their beloved daughter and then invite them over just for a meal?
Su Yun frowned, "I didn’t invite them, they came on their own."
Su Wan replied, "To be honest, I’ve never been fond of Lan Rui, not to mention the messes she’s made before. But Su Yun, if you don’t like her, you could simply not marry her. If you do, then don’t humiliate her like this."
"Now, with so many people here, your actions aren’t just humiliating Lan Rui and the Lan Family but also the Su Family".
She then lifted her gaze once more, her eyes smiling yet not as she looked at Su Yun, "Or do you plan on making the same mistakes Su Zhen did back in the day?"
Su Zhen had regretted his actions as he lay dying.
If he didn’t love Lin Ranyue, he shouldn’t have married her.
Later, after they got married, Lin Ranyue truly loved him and bore him three children.
But Su Zhen did not cherish her.
Su Wan: "Do you want to be like Su Zhen, Su Yun?"
Su Yun fell silent.
No, he didn’t want to be like his father.
It’s just that...
Suddenly, Su Yun thought of something and briskly took a few steps forward.
However, Little Gu Chen, who had been playing nearby, immediately stepped in front of mommy.
Blocking Su Yun.
Little Gu Chen, with his chubby little face, said earnestly, "Uncle, don’t get too close. My daddy might look like a big Commander, but he’s really petty and gets jealous very easily."
Su Yun’s lips twitched at being called uncle.
But of course—since Xiaowan refused to call him brother, her child wouldn’t call him uncle.
Yet still, Su Yun frowned and said, "I share a blood relationship with your mother."
Little Gu Chen: "That doesn’t stop my dad from getting jealous. Sometimes, he even gets jealous of me."
Su Wan: "..."
Looking at the child, seeing Xiaowan in his eyes and brow, Su Yun was somewhat torn between laughter and tears.
Then, Little Gu Chen continued, "Also, there’s one more thing, I tend to be electrically conductive, so uncle, you really shouldn’t stand so close to mommy."
Su Yun: "..."
As Su Wan left with her son, Su Yun stood there as if petrified, unmoving.
After a while, he seemed to shake his head, smiling faintly.
Su Wan actually didn’t know if he would clear his mind about his feelings for Lan Rui—that was their own business.
In any case, today was not the day to let grandpa lose face.
Nor was it a day to let the Su Family lose face.
And definitely not to give the Lan Family or any other newly joined aristocrats of the Federal Empire a reason for resentment or bad thoughts.
The intricacies within were far too abundant.
Su Wan knew Su Yun was intelligent, he should understand all this.
And as she was about to walk away, Su Yun’s voice came from behind.
"Xiaowan, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me anymore..."
This wasn’t the first time Su Yun had apologized to Su Wan, in fact, it was hard to say how many times it had been.
How sincere he was each time was also unclear.
However... Su Wan had never actually been angry with Su Yun.
It was just that she couldn’t consider him a trustworthy relative.
Su Wan, without turning her head, said in a low voice to her son Little Gu Chen, "Xiaochen, when your sister is born, what will you do if someone bullies her?"
"If anyone dares to bully my sister, I’ll zap them!"
Su Wan reached out to touch her son’s soft hair on the top of his head, "Xiaochen will surely be a good brother in the future."
Su Yun’s face paled.
In the end, he watched his younger sister with a bitter smile, slowly walking away.
A child of a few years old knew what was right.
Yet, when Xiaowan needed her older brother the most, he was not only absent to protect her.
He was either self-pitying or indifferent, being nice to others, later on using her...
In such circumstances, Xiaowan was willing now to bring her husband Commander Gu to attend this wedding.
It was out of respect for their grandfather...
The wedding ended with all the guests in high spirits; Su Wan was so tired that she could only yawn, and Gu Jue knew she was sleepy again.
He simply picked her up horizontally and boarded the flying vehicle.
Little Gu Chen immediately followed with his short little legs.
Several members of the Su Family, upon seeing this scene, were a bit dumbfounded, one of them commented, "Isn’t Xiaowan being too spoiled in front of the Commander, isn’t that not very proper?"
Lin Ranyue, who was just about to leave with Gu Lei, turned around and said to that person, "Shouldn’t it be only right for Xiaowan and her husband to have a good relationship? And who are you to have a say in it?"
The other person laughed awkwardly, "Ranyue, I am your aunt by marriage..."
Lin Ranyue stated very straightforwardly, "I don’t have an aunt by marriage."
She already had no dealings with the Mu Family, and with the royal circle of the Gu Family, she also kept her distance, not getting too close to anyone other than the Empress and her circle.
As for the aunt by marriage of the Su Family, she was even less of Lin Ranyue’s concerns.
When Lin Ranyue had been hurt by Su Zhen’s neglect back then, these so-called "aunts by marriage" were the ones speaking ill-willed words behind her back.
The woman’s expression grew even uglier.
Gu Lei, however, gave that woman a cold look, then gently said to Lin Ranyue, "Ranyue, let’s go home."
"Yeah."
It was not until they had left.
That woman dared to grumble, "She’s remarried, and still has the nerve to strut around at our Su Family like this?"
Su Ni was looking for Cecilia everywhere.
He had clearly seen her arrive, but he hadn’t had a chance to speak to her.
Now hearing his aunt by marriage speak that way, Su Ni was very annoyed, "Remarried or not, she is still my and Xiaowan’s mother! Have you forgotten who the inheritor of the Su Family restaurant is? If you don’t like staying at the Su Family, you should remarry sooner too!"
The aunt by marriage was left red-faced and white-faced by Su Ni’s retort.
But she dared not say anything more.
What if Su Wan decided to fire her husband from the Su Family restaurant?
Su Ni didn’t bother to waste more words on that kind of person.
He immediately resumed searching for Cecilia.
Finally, in front of a gray flying vehicle, he saw Cecilia.
He immediately ran over.
The electronic door of the gray flying vehicle was half closed, and Su Ni forcefully caught up, but he also ended up getting himself stuck there!
