Shu Pan followed Gu Shaotingâs advice and returned home to rest for a while before waiting for the driver to pick her up for her styling appointment.
In the afternoon, around 2 p.m., the driver returned. Gu Shaoting was too busy with his affairs today, so he couldnât come back, but he assured her that he would pick her up later to go to the venue together.
Shu Pan was unfamiliar with all this, but Gu Shaoting had arranged everything. All she needed to do was get into the car and let the driver take her there.
âMadam, we have arrived, itâs right here, the place Mr. Gu arranged. Iâll wait for you outside,â the car stopped in front of a large styling company.
âAlright, thank you,â Shu Pan said as she got out of the car and went inside.
Soon, someone came to receive her. Since it was arranged by Gu Shaoting, Shu Pan didnât have to worry about anything.
âMiss, Iâm sorry, your Stylist is still with another client. You might have to wait for a bit,â the receptionist apologized.
Actually, the appointment was made by the lady in front of her, but just now another lady arrived and insisted on having that Stylist. She caused quite a scene, fearing it might affect others, so they prioritized her.
âNo problem, Iâll wait,â Shu Pan said with a good attitude.
She didnât really mind; any stylist would do for her. Besides, Gu Shaoting had arranged it, and she couldnât be bothered to change.
Shu Pan waited in the VIP room.
After a while, the receptionist came to inform her that it was her turn.
As Shu Pan got up to walk inside, she almost collided with someone passing by.
âWhy is it you again?â Charlene turned her head, instantly annoyed. How could this person keep showing up everywhere? They bumped into each other at the office last time, and now they meet here.
Shu Pan was also taken aback, her brows furrowed.
âThis isnât exclusively your place, why, canât I come here?â Shu Pan couldnât help but retort. It seemed they were destined to meet again. Judging by her appearance, she was here for styling too, and she might be the one who cut the line as the receptionist mentioned.
But then she thought, encountering her here wasnât surprising. If she was an employee of the Gu Group and attending the corporationâs banquet tonight, it was normal for her to come here for styling. Judging by her demeanor and choice of venue, her position and background were probably not simple.
Charlene hadnât expected Shu Pan to stand up to her. Seeing her gentle demeanor, she thought she was an easy target. Turns out she had quite a sharp tongue.
In reality, Shu Pan treated people differently. Generally, she wouldnât make a fuss, understanding the importance of forgiving others. But when faced with someone so audacious, who insisted on blaming others for their own mistakes, she couldnât help but retort.
It was too much.
âHmph, do you even know where you are? Styling here isnât cheap. Even if youâre angling for a wealthy husband, you need to consider your own capabilities. Donât end up with empty hands and empty pocket,â Charlene looked Shu Pan up and down, noticing she wasnât wearing any designer clothes, indicating her financial status was probably not great.
She was just trying to kindly remind her not to rely on looking pretty, as the expenses here were not insignificant.
âThanks for your concern, but I donât need you worrying about this,â Shu Pan said calmly, before stepping inside and closing the door behind her.
Charlene stomped her foot in frustration. It was outrageous. She swore not to cross paths with her again, or sheâd make her regret it.
Shu Pan treated the incident as a joke and shrugged it off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It just went to show, there were all sorts of people in the world.
Sigh, she hoped not to encounter such a piece of work next time. It was exhausting just thinking about it.
