Chapter 248 - 248: Unbelievable
The reporters weren’t that easy to dismiss. They were obviously not satisfied with Tong Fei’s answer.
They kept pressing her.
Fortunately, the restaurant owner saw the commotion and rushed over. He then said apologetically, ‘Ms. Tong is my VIP today. Please don’t disturb her.
Please give me some face and enjoy the dishes we’ve prepared for you over there. Thank you.”
The restaurant owner’s words were reasonable. Since it was his opening night, it would be rude to say anything, so the reporters moved away.
Only then did the restaurant owner say with a guilty look on his face, “Tong
Fei, sorry for the trouble.”
Tong Fei smiled. “Old Zhang, you’re being too polite.”
“Hmm… Shaoting is here too, uh… With his friends.” The restaurant owner said vaguely.
Tong Fei was ecstatic. She knew that Old Zhang and Gu Shaoting were close and Old Zhang would definitely invite him, so she agreed to come and try her Plus, there were reporters here today… As she expected.
She suppressed her elation and didn’t show it on her face as she replied casually, “Oh? He’s here too. I’ll go and say hi later.”
“Um… There’s no hurry…” Tong Fei was a little confused at Old Zhang’s stutter.
“Is it inconvenient?” She could not help but ask.
“He’s having dinner with his friends.” Old Zhang made an inviting gesture and Tong Fei walked into the private room that Old Zhang had prepared for her. A few of her friends were already inside.
They ate and drank for a while, and then Tong Fei went to the bathroom. On her way back, she asked a waiter and found out where Gu Shaoting and his friends were. She followed the waiter’s instructions and headed in his direction.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks as she approached their table, her eyes fixed on the scene before her.
It was a scene of a happy family having dinner. The mother was picking up food for the child while the father smiled knowingly as he watched. Then, the father scooped a bowl of soup for the mother and asked the mother to drink it quickly while he fed the child.
They looked like a happy family to anyone. Tong Fei actually lost the courage to approach them.
The scene really messed up her head because the Gu Shaoting she knew was never so family-oriented and gentle.
He always had a cold look on his face, so she couldn’t believe her eyes.
It turned out that he could be gentle, just not with her.
She then looked at Shu Pan with a vicious gaze. It was all because of her that Shaoting did not want to be with her. He used to be so good to her that she would occasionally reminisced about their good times together.
Tong Fei noticed that the reporters had been looking at her. She pretended not to see them and turned to go back to her private room.
She gave up on the idea of saying hi to Gu Shaoting.
After getting back to her private room, Tong Fei quickly collected herself and chatted and laughed with the dinner companions.
Gu Shaoting had been taking care of Joy, and the little girl was getting attached to him.
Shu Pan would be lying if she said she wasn’t moved by Gu Shaoting’s eager attempts to please her and Joy.
However, could her already scarred heart still love someone?
She still couldn’t let go of the hurt that Gu Shaoting had caused her, so she couldn’t respond to him.
But she was grateful for his involvement in Joy’s life. After all, he had lost his memory yet he could treat Joy as his own.
She looked at the man and child, who looked alike, and their question-and-answer conversation. She fell into deep thought.
“Eat more. Why are you in a daze?” Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but asked when he saw that she wasn’t eating.
“Will do.” Shu Pan slowly picked up her chopsticks and started eating..
