Upon hearing Shu Panâs words, MO Lan felt like she had stepped on a sore spot. She angrily retorted, âWhatâs it to you?â
âSo why should it matter to you what kind of person I am? MO Lan, youâre not the only one who resorts to personal attacks. Donât use someoneâs kindness as an excuse for your bullying,â Shu Pan responded.
MO Lan arrogantly stated, âHumph! You have the nerve to say that? What about that night at the CEOâs villa? Donât think people didnât see.â
MO Lan believed she had found a handle on Shu Pan.
Shu Pan was indifferent because she had only been inside for a short time. If anyone had seen, they would know nothing had happened.
âDid you see it? What were you doing there? Looking for the CEO?â Shu Pan casually remarked.
MO Lan was suddenly left speechless.
She tried to say something, but even if she did, it would be feeble. She noticed people around them casting curious glances.
No wonder Tang Wei could compete with her for so long, this personâs character seemed twisted.
MO Lan left in frustration, but she vowed not to let Shu Pan have it too easy.
Shu Pan returned to her seat and daydreamed for a while. She had blocked Gu Shaoting, so he couldnât call her. She had also informed the teacher that only she could pick up Joy.
For a while, Gu Shaoting couldnât enjoy the pleasure of seeing them.
After waiting for a day, he reached his limit.
Early in the morning, he found an excuse to appear at Sunrise with Secretary Zhang.
Shu Pan didnât notice, as she was busy.
âMiss Shu, the CEO wants to talk to you about some issues with Su Corporationâs project.â It wasnât until Secretary Zhang stood beside her and reminded her that she knew.
What kind of trouble was he causing now?
Reluctantly, Shu Pan followed Secretary Zhang to the office.
âPanpan, let me explain,â Gu Shaoting said as the secretary closed the door, locking eyes with her.
Shu Pan wasnât in the mood to listen to his explanations. She discounted everything he said.
She gritted her teeth and said, âThereâs nothing to explain. Itâs better if we go our separate ways.â
âPanpan, calm down and listen to me, okay?â Gu Shaoting said calmly.
âI didnât intend to hide anything from you. Whether I remembered my past or not, I would still treat you and Joy well. You can pretend this never happened.â
âGu Shaoting, are you trying to be good to Joy, make her like you, and then compete with me for her custody?â Shu Pan couldnât think of any other reason, so she assumed this.
âPanpan, you could be a scriptwriter. The plot youâve come up with is so thrilling,â Gu Shaoting felt defeated by this woman; his good intentions were misunderstood.
âOr maybe you can guide me and help me compete with you for Joyâs custody,â Gu Shaoting continued self-mockingly.
Shu Pan, filled with anger, glared at him fiercely.
This man was shameless. She decided to keep Joy away from him.
âMy momâs words, donât believe them. Although I promised her, I absolutely have no intention of taking Joy away from you,â Gu Shaoting squinted his eyes, staring intently at her.
He knew his momâs words were harsh, but she was still an elder, and he couldnât respond in kind. All he could do was comfort Shu Pan.
Shu Pan, with anger in her eyes, looked at him and said, âYou and your mom are in cahoots, colluding together. Making promises to your mom while acting in front of me.. And you expect me to believe you?â
