Shu Pan heaved a sigh of relief when Tang Wei dropped the subject.
MO Lan saw that Shu Pan didn’t seem affected and left disappointedly.
Shu Pan was anxious the whole day, worried that someone would recognize her as the female lead in the news article.
Fortunately, everyone was busy with work and had no time to gossip.
People trickled out of the office when the workday ended. Shu Pan was the last person to leave again. It seemed to be her habit.
Gu Shaoting went to pick Joy up again, like it had become his responsibility. Shu Pan sometimes wondered if he had recovered his memories.
But judging by his innocent expression, he didn’t look it.
Since the limelight had been on him lately, she had asked him to be more careful and not to pick up Joy, but he didn’t care.
Since she was also very tied up with the project, she relented and let him pick Joy up, but not her.
She wanted to go home by herself. She had always kept a low profile and didn’t want to draw attention to herself.
Just as she was about to cross the road, a car next to her honked.
Through the car window, Shu Pan saw the passenger in the car, who was in her usual sunglasses like they were her signature.
When Tong Fei saw Shu Pan look over, she opened the car door and walked out.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange, pink, and purple across the canvas of the evening sky, the two women stood facing each other. The soft breeze played with their hair and clothes.
Neither of them spoke. Shu Pan frowned, confused about Tong Fei’s sudden appearance at her work place.
Finally, Tong Fei broke the silence.
“Shu Pan, you must be very proud that Shaoting has finally called off our engagement.”
Shu Pan looked at her in silence.
“Do you think that you’ve won?” Tong Fei raised her voice.
Shu Pan let out a cold chuckle. This woman was truly pathetic and laughable.
“You’re really funny. What does the annulment of your engagement have anything to do with me? If you are unhappy about it, please talk to Gu Shaoting. I’m not the person you should be talking to.”
Shu Pan couldn’t stand people like Tong Fei, whom she had tolerated repeatedly but had become even more aggressive.
Tong Fei’s expression froze, like she had been hit on the sore spot. She yelled, “Don’t try your sarcasm on me. If it weren’t for your daughter, Shaoting wouldn’t have looked back. You won using your child instead of fighting. Don’t you think that it’s pathetic? Do you really think that you’ll be happy together?”
Shu Pan sneered. “I’ve never thought about getting back with him. You’re overthinking this. ”
“Then why did you come back into his life again? Why did you secretly give birth to his child? You still love him deep down, right?” Tong Fei asked.
Shu Pan was stunned. She had never given any thought to those questions.
Tong Fei took Shu Pan’s silence as her admission and continued hatefully, “I should have let those debt collectors force you to death back then. Also, I should have been even crueler and let the car hit you again. Let’s see if you’ll be so lucky again to avoid getting hit and if you can still be so smug.”
Shu Pan’s eyes widened; she couldn’t believe her ears.
Tong Fei must have lost her mind to be able to do such vicious things just to satisfy her selfish desires.
“So, it was you… Did you ask those debt collectors to harass me and smash my things? The recent car accident that Gu Shaoting got into was targeted at me and he was just a scapegoat?”
Tong Fei couldn’t care less about Shu Pan’s interrogation.. She just shrugged and said nonchalantly, “So what if I’m behind it all?”
