Chapter 511: Meeting Song Can
She felt powerless.
But she was truly infuriated with Secretary Zhang. It was such a good opportunity.
She was just curious about what the woman looked like.
Seeing Secretary Zhang knock and enter, she had no choice but to return to her office.
She sat at her desk, took out her phone, pondered for a while, and then dialed Song Can’s number.
Soon, the call was answered.
“Who is this?” Song Can’s voice came through.
“Auntie, it’s Charlene. Do you remember me?” Charlene’s voice was sweet, making Song Can delighted.
“Of course, of course, Charlene! Why do you have time to call today?” Song Can asked with concern.
“I’m at work, just wanted to ask if you’re free to go shopping and have dinner this weekend?” Charlene asked.
“I’m free.” How could she not be? Now that Shaoting has a wife, he’s forgotten about his mother.
She couldn’t be bothered to call him. Every time they meet, it would end in an argument. Why bother causing herself more trouble?
“That’s great. Let’s meet on Saturday. I just came back from France, not sure where the good restaurants are in Bin City, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide.”
“Okay, see you then.” Song Can thought to herself that this child was really thoughtful, reminding her of Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan, which made her feel a bit downhearted again.
Gu Shaoting held Shu Pan’s hand while carrying Joy as they returned to his office. Luckily, it was during working hours, so there were few people around, and they took the CEO’s private elevator.
“Are we disturbing you at work?” Shu Pan actually wanted to take Joy back home.
“No, I’m almost done with work. You can come whenever you want, no need to worry about anything,” Gu Shaoting replied. In fact, he hoped that mother and daughter would come, as it would give him more motivation to work. At this moment, Gu Shaoting noticed that Shu Pan had dressed up for the occasion, looking fresh and elegant, giving off a beautiful aura.
“Mommy, Daddy said it’s okay,” Joy mischievously remarked.
“You…” Shu Pan gave her a stern look.
“Daddy, can Mommy and I come directly up next time? We waited downstairs for a long time, and it’s tiring,” Joy whined.
“Sure, you can come straight up to find Daddy,” Gu Shaoting replied, feeling somewhat sorry for her. He inwardly criticized those who handled things downstairs.
“That’s great!” Joy clapped her hands happily.
“You see, you’ve spoiled her. She starts making a fuss if she doesn’t see you at noon. How will she manage when she grows up?” Shu Pan sighed softly.
“My daughter is the best, and I’ll give her the best of everything. She doesn’t need to care about others’ opinions,” Gu Shaoting said nonchalantly, feeling that Shu Pan was overly worried.
Shu Pan was speechless, feeling that she would be the one responsible for their child’s upbringing in the future.
Shu Pan and Joy stayed in Gu Shaoting’s office until it was time to leave work. Since it was the end of the workday, there were still quite a few people around. As they descended in the private elevator, they found the lobby crowded with people.
Obviously, everyone was curious about Shu Pan and Joy. They kept staring at them until Gu Shaoting shot them a cold glance, causing everyone to quickly avert their gaze.
Shu Pan felt embarrassed, her face reddening involuntarily.
After they left, the place erupted into chatter.
“Wasn’t that Mr. Gu’s wife and child?” someone asked excitedly, as if they had stumbled upon some sensational news.
“I haven’t heard that Mr. Gu got married. Where did the child and wife come from?” someone immediately countered.
“Celebrities sometimes marry quietly to avoid attention.”
“That makes sense.”
