âDonât get too cocky. Letâs see what youâve got to compete with us,â Song Can said in extreme anger.
After saying that, she walked away.
Shu Pan stared at her retreating figure, lost in thought for a moment. She truly regretted coming to Bin City. She shouldnât have come in the first place. If she hadnât, they wouldnât have discovered Joyâs existence.
However, given her current situation, she could only go with the flow.
Lately, Gu Shaoting had softened his stance and hadnât pushed for Joyâs custody. She didnât know what he was really thinking, as he was always inscrutable.
She had promised Mrs. Wen that she wouldnât have any connection with Wen Chi, and she couldnât break her word.
When would fate truly favor her?
Back at the Gu familyâs mansion, Song Can was so angry that she threw her bag on the sofa, and Gu Shaoting raised an eyebrow.
âWhatâs wrong? Who made you so angry?â he asked.
âWho else? Itâs your ex-wife! You said Joy is my granddaughter, so why canât we acknowledge her? Whatâs wrong with you?â Song Can exclaimed.
âDid you go see Shu Pan?â Gu Shaoting asked hastily. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMom, Iâll handle this matter. Please donât get involved anymore,â Gu Shaoting sighed, fearing that his mother had messed things up.
He had worked hard to improve his relationship with Shu Pan. While he could insist on claiming Joy, he realized, as He Ming had pointed out, that it might not be in Joyâs best interest, and he didnât want to hurt Shu Pan.
Every time he saw Shu Pan unhappy, it made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldnât understand what was happening to him.
âI was about to talk to you too. We havenât seen you around lately. Tong Fei has come a few times and hasnât seen you. Sheâs your fiancée. Canât you be more attentive?â Song Can suddenly remembered that she hadnât seen Gu Shaoting much recently, despite the fact that the company was doing well and there wasnât much for him to do.
âIâve been busy with some things,â Gu Shaoting replied vaguely.
âAnyway, I donât care. You need to make Joy acknowledge her roots soon.
Youâve been engaged to Tong Fei for a while now. When are you planning to get married?â Song Can looked around and realized that everyone else had grandchildren while she was still alone. She was getting impatient.
Now that she finally found out that she had a granddaughter. How could she not be anxious.
Now that she had finally found out about her granddaughter, was she not in a hurry?
âMom, itâs not urgent. Weâll take our time with this matter. I need to think about my marriage with Tong Fei,â Gu Shaoting increasingly felt the need to carefully consider his marriage to Tong Fei. He was becoming more and more averse to the idea.
Initially, after his separation from Shu Pan, he had been indifferent to everything, and Tong Fei happened to be around, so they got engaged. He had probably lost his feelings for her long ago. When she had left for abroad to pursue her career, he had stopped feeling the same way about her, and when she returned, his initial affection had faded.
However, now, when he saw Shu Pan, he experienced a strange feeling.
Seeing Shu Pan and Joy now brought him a sense of peace. He longed to be with Shu Pan and Joy, and he couldnât afford to make Shu Pan angry.
Now he found all sorts of excuses to get closer to them every day.
Unfortunately, the person Joy loved the most now was someone called Uncle Wen. He was consumed by jealousy.
Now when Shu Pan saw him, she was cold and distant, and with this move from his mother, he was probably going to be placed on her blocklist. She might think he and his mother were in cahoots, and all his previous efforts would go to waste.
With these thoughts, he immediately dialed Shu Panâs number. It rang for a long time, but no one answered. In the end, he had no choice but to hang up, deciding he needed to visit in person to explain..
