“Pan, Auntie knows you’re a good girl, but you and Wen Chi really aren’t a good match. Auntie hopes you can understand my motherly love,” Mrs. Wen spoke in a gentler tone.
Shu Pan nodded but felt a deep sense of discomfort.
Back at home, Wen Chi happened to arrive.
“Pan, get Joy ready. I’m taking you both out for dinner at a friend’s restaurant,” Wen Chi announced with a cheerful smile.
Pretending like everything was normal, Shu Pan looked at Wen Chi, feeling torn inside. She knew she was about to disappoint him.
BoxNovel.comWen Chi and Shu Pan came out with Joy, appearing to be a lovely and harmonious family in the eyes of outsiders.
This was particularly true for Gu Shaoting, who had been spending time near
Shu Pan’s building, observing them from a distance whenever he had a chance.
Today was no exception, and he intended to take a quick look and then leave. However, to his surprise, he saw Shu Pan coming out with another man, holding hands with Joy. The man was the same person he had encountered at the café.
Gu Shaoting frowned deeply, his expression stormy as if a tempest was approaching.
He watched them get into a car and followed their direction, his heart feeling like it was crawling with thousands of ants. He was uncomfortable.
Seeing the three of them entering a restaurant, the man holding Joy, and Joy hugging him, whispering something in his ear, both of them laughing, Gu Shaoting was consumed with jealousy. That was his privilege, and he couldn’t understand why someone else was taking his place. Seeing them so happy, he felt a burning discomfort.
He knew this discomfort was jealousy. He wanted to replace that man.
Late that night, unable to resist, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan.
When the call was picked up, he remained silent, his ears perking up to listen for any other sounds or movements on the other end of the line.
Seeing that it was his call, Shu Pan’s initial reaction was to hang up. However, she knew he was the type who wouldn’t give up easily, so reluctantly, she pressed the answer button.
“What is it, Mr. Gu?” Shu Pan’s tone was as calm as water, as if the person on the other end was a stranger.
Mr. Gu—the address stung Gu Shaoting’s nerves.
“Shu Pan, you’re just the same as before, skilled at pursuing men, aren’t you?
Found a new man so quickly, thinking of finding a father for my daughter?” Gu Shaoting’s words dripped with sarcasm.
“Gu Shaoting, are you insane? We’ve already divorced. What I do is none of your business.” Shu Pan had heard much worse words, faced much greater hardships, so these words meant nothing to her.
“Shu Pan, you better think carefully. I won’t give up Joy’s custody. Don’t do something foolish; the consequences are something you can’t bear,” Gu Shaoting’s voice turned frosty.
Shu Pan “hehe” chuckled twice on her end, as if she had heard a joke.
What consequences could she not bear? She had already endured the worst. “Then you go ahead and see if I can bear it or not. If you push too far, we can all go down together,” Shu Pan suddenly said ruthlessly. She had nothing left to lose, and she would go all the way, even if it meant risking her life.
Gu Shaoting was taken aback by her harsh words. In his memory, Shu Pan had always been gentle and wouldn’t be this cold now.
He didn’t realize that a cornered dog would jump over the wall. The current Shu Pan felt like she had nothing left to lose. If he insisted, she would go down with him, even if it cost her life..
