Gu Lei's polite smile had already faded from his face.
As Su Man was of the same generation as Su Wan, she should have called Gu Lei "Uncle," since Gu Lei was married to Lin Ranyue. But... Gu Lei still remembered how Su Man and her mother had done many things in the past that had hurt Lin Ranyue and caused Xiaowan to suffer.
Gu Lei truly had no good feelings towards Su Man.
However, with Commander Xi Le standing by, and considering the Insectoids had indeed maintained a good relationship with Landis Star over the years, there was no need to embarrass Su Man at this moment.
Thus, Gu Lei simply nodded without saying anything. It might have been a bit cold, but he gave face to Commander Xi Le.
By now, Su Man had developed a very strong mental resilience. She was definitely unhappy inside but did not show it. The group first went to the reception hall for a talk, then arranged accommodations for the ten students.
