âI understand. Please donât be angry. Iâll handle it,â Gu Shaoting quickly responded.
The next day, Zhou brought news to Tong Fei, confirming her suspicions. Gu Shaoting had been spending most of his free time at Shu Panâs place, officially to visit his daughter, but who knew what was going on behind the scenes?
Tong Feiâs heart turned as cold as ice when she learned of this development. She Imew Gu Shaoting had a different kind of affection for Shu Pan. They had been together for so long but had never fully committed to each other, always stopping short when things got serious.
She had been bothered by this for a long time, and now, with Shu Pan reentering his life, she was worried they might rekindle their relationship. Tong Fei couldnât control Gu Shaotingâs actions, but she could reach out to Shu
Pan.
Around noon, Tong Fei called Shu Pan. Shu Pan didnât pick up initially, but Tong Fei persisted and kept calling.
The last time, Shu Pan finally answered. Before she could speak, the other party did, âShu Pan, letâs meet.â
Shu Pan hesitated momentarily, unsure of the callerâs identity. Just as she was contemplating, the voice continued, âIâm Tong Fei, letâs meet.â
The commanding tone made Shu Pan uncomfortable. She initially intended to hang up but reconsidered when Tong Fei added, âIf you donât meet, I will personally come to your workplace.â
Fearing that her presence might cause trouble, Shu Pan agreed to meet Tong Fei at a designated time to find out what she wanted.
Tong Fei still exuded a strong aura, no matter when.
âMiss Tong, I donât know what you want to discuss. Do we have to meet?â Shu Panâs tone was cold, although deep inside, she couldnât help but wonder why she seemed to attract trouble lately.
âMiss Shu, I thought someone as clever as you would already know why Iâm looking for you,â Tong Fei responded, her words laced with sarcasm and an air of arrogance, causing bystanders to raise an eyebrow.
âMiss Tong, if you have something to say, please be straightforward. I donât understand your cryptic messages,â Shu Pan remarked, genuinely thinking of herself as quite patient.
âMiss Shu, Iâm aware that you and Shaoting have a daughter. If I marry him, I will treat her as my own. I hope you wonât misunderstand Shaotingâs intentions. His frequent visits to your house are for the sake of the child,â Tong Fei said, displaying a sense of magnanimity. She quickly changed the subject, âI hope you donât misconstrue Shaotingâs actions.â
Shu Pan stared at her, feeling like she hadnât fully grasped what Tong Fei meant.
âMiss Shu, you donât have to worry about my daughter. The sooner you marry Mr. Gu, the better. I wish you two a future with many children,â Shu Pan said, thinking that Tong Fei must be out of her mind. What was she thinking?
âMiss Shu, youâre better off not using the child as an excuse to cling to Shaoting,â Tong Fei bluntly stated her true intentions today.
âMiss Shu, if youâre so concerned, you should tie down Mr. Gu yourself. In fact, heâs been frequently visiting my house, and I find it quite troubling,â Shu Pan said, sounding casual.
âDonât think youâre so triumphant just because you have a daughter. Shaoting treats you well because of your daughter,â Tong Fei remarked, feeling that Shu Pan had become a bit too self-assured, and she wondered where this confidence came from.
âShu Pan, Iâm warning you again, donât hope for anything with Shaoting. Give up on that thought sooner rather than later, or bear the consequences,â Tong Fei said fiercely, her beautiful face appearing somewhat fierce. Shu Pan was truly at a loss, wondering why all of this was on her..
