Gu Shaoting had to say this; if Shu Pan found out that a colleague had seen her coming here, he guessed she would once again be unwelcome. Yet, he was also annoyed, particularly repulsed by the woman before him.
He had seen through her tricks too many times.
âSo, CEO, you and Shu Pan arenât familiar?â MO Lan pretended to be surprised, but in her heart, she scorned Shu Pan.
âWhether we are familiar or not has nothing to do with you,â Gu Shaoting didnât even glance at MO Lan and coldly uttered a single word, âLeave.â MO Lan was scared pale by the sudden coldness. âIâm sorry, CEO, I disturbed you.â
As she bowed in apology, a hint of cleavage showed, but Gu Shaoting didnât spare a glance.
MO Lan guessed his mood might be bad; perhaps Shu Pan had upset the CEO just now?
MO Lanâs hatred for Shu Pan deepened.
Seeing Gu Shaotingâs icy demeanor, she didnât dare linger. Biting her lip, she stamped her foot and left in frustration.
Meanwhile, Shu Pan was happily soaking in the hot springs with Tang Wei.
No wonder wealthy people loved to go on vacation. Shu Pan leaned back in the hot pool, half-closing her eyes, instantly feeling relaxed.
Tang Wei looked at Shu Pan in her swimsuit, her fair skin radiating a rosy glow, seemingly flawless.
âThatâs unexpected; youâve got quite the figure, Shu Pan,â Tang Wei envied. âWith your looks, are you telling me thereâs no one pursuing you? Are all those guys blind?â
Shu Pan, blushing, quickly covered herself with a towel. âWhat are you talking about?â
âYou saying someone like you has no admirers, nobody would believe it. Are all those men blind?â Tang Wei said indignantly. Shu Pan just smiled; even if someone was interested, she would need to consider it carefully.
Two days passed quickly. Since she had to pick up Joy, Shu Pan found an excuse not to leave with everyone else.
AS they knew her tamily was here, they understood It she wanted to visit. In the afternoon, Shu Pan returned home. Her dad and Auntie Lu were both there, and due to the rushed visit the other day, they hadnât properly greeted each other.
âDad, Auntie Lu, how are you both feeling?â Shu Pan asked with concern.
âVery well, donât worry,â Shu Laide looked at Shu Pan, relieved that her life was getting better, and he could finally let go of his worries.
âDad, Auntie Lu, how about you both come back to Bin City with us? Itâs a big city, and life is more convenient,â Shu Pan brought up the topic once again.
âWe wonât go. Weâre old, and we like the tranquility here. Thereâs nothing wrong with it, and the air is fresh,â Shu Laide was quite satisfied with their current life.
âPanpan, Joy has been talking about Uncle Gu. Who is he?â Auntie Lu suddenly interjected.
Shu Pan was momentarily stunned. She hadnât realized Joyâs feelings for Gu Shaoting were so deep.
âUh⦠Heâs just a friend,â Shu Pan answered vaguely.
âSurnamed Gu?â Shu Laide snorted, showing obvious displeasure toward that surname.
âHe cares so much about Joy; it proves he likes you. Pay attention, Panpan,â Auntie Luâs eyes lit up. It was great; she had a suitor now.
This matter had always been a big deal for the two of them.
Shu Pan felt a headache coming on. She had to change the subject, âWhereâs Joy? Why havenât I seen her?â
âSheâs playing with the neighborâs kids,â Auntie Lu pointed towards the house.
âPanpan, youâre not young anymore. You should consider your marriage more. Donât be too picky,â Auntie Lu said with emphasis.
âI know, Auntie Lu. Please donât worry about it,â Shu Pan reassured quickly..
