After hearing Shu Panâs words, Su Yuan felt even more self-reproach.
âWhatâs the point of my success if I donât have my beloved to share it with?â Su Yuan realized this a bit too late.
Seeing that Su Yuan didnât say anything more, Shu Pan intended to leave.
âMr. Su, if there are any project-related issues, you can contact me again.â Shu Panâs implication was clear â donât approach her for personal matters next time.
After saying that, Shu Pan picked up her bag and left.
Su Yuan had nothing else to do and could only watch Shu Panâs departing
figure in a daze.
How could he win Shu Panâs heart? Su Yuan really had no idea.
Similarly lost in his thoughts, Gu Shaoting was now like a tangled mess of threads.
Currently, he was on his way back to the Gu Familyâs mansion.
Because of an urgent call from his mother, Song Can, demanding that he must return immediately.
She insisted on discussing it face to face despite his attempts to handle it over the phone.
When Gu Shaoting returned to the Gu Familyâs mansion, Song Can, adorned in branded attire, was sitting upright on the living room sofa. Her expression was stern.
Seeing Gu Shaoting return, she gestured for him to sit down before addressing him directly.
âShaoting, have you already recovered your memory?â Song Canâs words startled Gu Shaoting. Besides He Ming, he hadnât informed anyone else.
âHow did you know?â Gu Shaoting asked.
âBecause I saw you reverting to the way you were before losing your memory, obeying Shu Pan and her daughterâs every command,â Song Can said angrily.
Even after Shu Pan gave birth to a child, Song Can still couldnât warm up to her.
âMom, thatâs my daughter, your granddaughter,â Gu Shaoting emphasized.
âMom wonât stop you from acknowledging Joy; sheâs a child of the Gu family and should be recognized as such. But I wonât accept Shu Pan,â Song Can declared.
Song Can and her friends had just returned from a trip abroad. Initially unaware, her friends informed her about the news of her son and granddaughter in the newspapers. They even speculated if the woman in the side profile was her future daughter-in-law.
She was furious at the time because she recognized Shu Pan from that side profile. She suspected that Shu Pan had entangled Gu Shaoting again due to Joy, prompting her to call Gu Shaoting back to clarify.
âMom, Iâve chosen Shu Pan as my wife.â Gu Shaoting also expressed his stance.
âShaoting, youâre really bewitched. Why do you have to choose Shu Pan when there are so many women available? Whatâs so good about her?â Song Can was truly enraged.
âMom, some people are irreplaceable. Iâve decided on Shu Pan, and I hope you understand her more,â Gu Shaoting stood firm, trying both a tough and gentle approach.
âTong Fei is so good, so outstanding. Why donât you like her? Iâll say it again, I acknowledge Joy, but I canât accept Shu Pan.â Song Can made her stance clear.
Song Can couldnât understand what kind of spell Shu Pan had cast on Gu Shaoting to make him like this. She initially believed he didnât like Shu Pan, and later, she thought he hadnât overcome the shadow of the divorce.
Now it seemed he had always liked Shu Pan. Otherwise, why would he be so persistent?
In the past, he would never have contradicted her, but now, he was standing his ground.
It was okay, she would talk to Shu Pan.
If Shu Pan wanted to be with Gu Shaoting, she wouldnât let it happen.
After all, it was hard-won for her to get a divorce, and she would never agree to them divorcing again. She would wait and see.
âMom, I hope this time you let me make my own decisions. If you have time, go play with friends.â After saying this, Gu Shaoting stood up and walked out of the house.
âShaoting, stop.â Song Can called out loudly, but Gu Shaoting didnât stop..
