Song Can was genuinely stunned by Gu Shaotingâs words and took a long time to regain her composure.
âYou have a daughter with Shu Pan? Itâs unbelievable. Where is the child?â Song Can eagerly asked, wanting to see the child as soon as possible.
âAlong with her mother,â Gu Shaoting said matter-of-factly.
Song Canâs frown deepened, and she exclaimed, âHow can we leave the care of a child from the Gu family to an outsider?â
At the same time, while saying this, she noticed Tong Fei sitting next to her. Tong Fei had a heavy expression and didnât utter a word. Song Can thought, âThis is not good. In front of Tong Fei, who would want to be a stepmother?â
âMom, sheâs the childâs mother after all. Letâs take it slowly, you mustnât act recklesslv,â Gu Shaotinq worried that Sonq Can might mess evervthinq up.
Given Song Canâs personality, she was capable of anything.
âDonât worry, I understand. Do you have any pictures of the child? Iâd like to see,â Song Can said, not letting go of the topic about the child.
Gu Shaoting opened his phoneâs gallery, selected a photo, and handed it to Song Can.
Taking the photo, Song Can examined it closely. âOh, isnât this the little girl I bumped into at the mall that day? At the time, I thought she looked a lot like you. It turns out sheâs your daughter. What a remarkable coincidence,â Song Can couldnât help but marvel at destinyâs arrangement.
She was extremely happy inside, but she maintained a calm demeanor.
Tong Fei, seeing their reactions, felt a wave of fear in her heart. She was worried that all her previous efforts would be in vain.
After a long pause, she spoke in despair, âShaoting, letâs recognize Joy a bit later, alright?â She suddenly grabbed Gu Shaotingâs hand tightly and continued, âLetâs get married.â
She didnât even dare to ask if he had fallen in love with Shu Pan or why he was so concerned about the child. She had never seen him care so much about a child.
Gu Shaoting looked at her, furrowing his brow, and his eyes turned icy.
âLetâs discuss marriage later,â Gu Shaotingâs tone was cold. He had no mental capacity for discussing marriage at the moment. More importantly, he seemed to genuinely reject the idea of marrying Tong Fei.
Tong Fei was taken aback, but she had anticipated this response. She sat there like a statue, unmoving.
Song Can was a woman of action. The next day, she quietly went to the kindergarten where Joy was enrolled. She ignored Gu Shaotingâs advice. She wanted to see Joy as soon as possible.
At the kindergartenâs entrance, she stood on her tiptoes and strained to see inside.
Because it was morning, the children were doing exercises on the playground. She glanced multiple times and finally spotted Joy bouncing around in the middle. Her heart melted.
She truly wanted to tell Joy, âIâm your grandmother,â but she held back to avoid scaring the child.
Standing at the entrance, she couldnât get enough of watching Joy.
Once back home, she immediately called Gu Shaoting. âYou should quickly contact Shu Pan and have Joy recognize her roots. Our Gu familyâs descendants shouldnât be left suffering outside.â
She had a determined tone, and Gu Shaoting felt a headache coming on. âMom, didnât I tell you not to act recklessly?â
âWhatâs wrong with that? Joy is already a Gu by name. You need to handle this matter as soon as possible,â Song Can felt she couldnât wait any longer.
She thanked her lucky stars that she finally had a granddaughter. She had been waiting for this day for too long. Originally, she had reservations about Shu Pan, but now, seeing Joy, she felt a sense of gratitude. She was thankful that Shu Pan had given birth to Joy..
