Chapter 667: Not Realizing How Lucky She Is

It seemed difficult to get her Brother Gu drunk, but what if she was the one who was drunk?

Would her Brother Gu take care of her?

“Brother Gu, thank you for taking care of me all this time. I’ve troubled you.” Seeing that Gu Shaoting was about to walk away, Charlene quickly changed the subject to prolong their time together.

“It’s fine. It’s no trouble at all.” Gu Shaoting replied patiently when he really wanted to walk away. Shu Pan took Joy to wash her hands. Why weren’t they back yet?

Charlene suddenly had an idea. She rubbed her temples and muttered, “This red wine has quite a kick. Why do I feel a little dizzy after drinking it?”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but Gu Shaoting was close enough to hear her.

He furrowed his brows but did not act.

Charlene felt a little anxious at his indifference. She feigned weak knees and stumbled forward.

Gu Shaoting had no choice but to help her up. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Gu Shaoting’s frown deepened.

“I’m a little tipsy. My alcohol tolerance is really terrible. Brother Gu, could… Could you help me find a place to rest, please?” Charlene acted like she was about to fall.

Gu Shaoting saw that everyone was chatting and Shu Pan was not back yet, so he had no choice but to help Charlene to the guest room.

Charlene kept leaning on Gu Shaoting as they walked.

Gu Shaoting just wanted to quickly help her into the guest room so she could rest.

Shu Pan finally coaxed Joy to sleep. After Joy finished eating the cake and washed her hands, she began to rub her eyes out of sleepiness because she was too excited to see her parents when she got home last night and didn’t sleep well.

Shu Pan brought her to their room at the old Gu residence and coaxed her to sleep before she walked out.

But she couldn’t find Gu Shaoting when she came out. The mansion was only so big, where could he have gone to?

Plus, he told her that he would wait for her at the same spot.

It was really odd but never mind. He was a grown man; he wouldn’t just go missing. Shu Pan was famished and decided to eat something first.

Shu Pan picked up a plate and got some food from the buffet table. She then sat and ate quietly.

Not far away, Song Can was chatting enthusiastically with her friends.

“You’re really lucky to live in a mansion. Your son and daughter-in-law are filial, and your granddaughter is so cute and sensible.” One of Song Can’s friends said enviously.

“Lucky how? You don’t know the pain and suffering in my heart. Today is such a happy day, so I shall not talk about those unpleasant things.” Song Can sighed and said helplessly.

Her friend also guessed what she meant. She could see how Song Can’s daughter-in-law was gentle, demure, and had a good temper. It was clear from the way she spoke to her child. Despite Song Can’s reluctance to air her dirty laundry in public, her close friends knew about her troubles.

“Children will eventually grow up and have their own lives. Let the bird fly from the nest. Don’t worry too much. I just saw your daughter-in-law give you a branded bag. That shows that she values you as her mother-in-law. You haven’t met my daughter-in-law, who’s nothing but a lazy bum. You should be content.” Her friend said.

“She’s just spending my son’s money to please me.” Song Can had wronged Shu Pan in this regard. Shu Pan who bought the bag for her mother-in-law with money that she had saved up over two months.

“It’s the thought that counts.” Song Can’s friend felt that Song Can didn’t realize how lucky she was.

She liked Song Can’s daughter-in-law the moment she saw her.
