Chapter 681: Testing (1)

After a while, all the business partners came into the KTV. Seeing Gu Shaoting sitting there with a dark face, everyone felt baffled.

But everyone had also noticed Mr. Gu was not in a good mood today. They observed it during dinner. He wasn’t much of a talker, to begin with, but now he even spoke less.

The people who came in looked at each other, not daring to ask what had happened.

However, Gu Shaoting noticed that everyone was acting strangely. He adjusted his mood and said, “Sit down, and let’s drink to our heart’s content.”

Hearing him say that, the group of people drank without restraint.

Around eight or nine o’clock in the evening, Shu Pan was at home coaxing Joy to sleep. However, Joy kept looking for her father for some reason and refused to sleep.

Shu Pan finally lost her patience. She reprimanded Joy, but she still said that she wanted her father.

In the end, Shu Pan had no choice but to call Gu Shaoting in front of her.

The call was connected after a while. In front of their daughter, Shu Pan maintained a very pleasant attitude and tone. She didn’t want the child to have any other thoughts, as she believed that parents quarreling would be detrimental to her upbringing. Therefore, she spoke to him very gently and even asked him if he had eaten and when he would be back.

Gu Shaoting suddenly saw that it was a call from Shu Pan and was secretly delighted. He thought to himself that Shupan finally couldn’t take it anymore and called him.

His male ego suddenly swelled.

He simply did not care about the consequences.

“I’ve told you that I have a business appointment tonight. Go to bed early, don’t wait for me. I’ll go back when it’s time.” Gu Shaoting’s tone was cold and a little impatient.

“No…” Shu Pan was yet to finish speaking when Gu Shaoting accidentally pressed the hang-up button. He wanted to call her back, but it was too noisy, and he didn’t think there was anything, so he gave up.

Shu Pan looked at the call that was hung up for no reason and was a little dumbfounded. What did Gu Shaoting mean?

Did he not want to answer her call? Did he find her annoying? She could not figure out his intentions.

She looked at her anticipatory daughter and comforted her, “Daddy is busy now. Let’s sleep first. Daddy will be back soon.”

“What’s wrong with Daddy recently? He doesn’t send me to school or pick me up. He doesn’t love me anymore?” Joy was very unhappy.

“No, of course, he loves you. It’s just that he’s been very busy recently, so he doesn’t have time to pick you up. How about tomorrow? You ask him about it.” Shu Pan coaxed Joy but was cursing Gu Shaoting in her heart.

“Alright, let’s sleep, Mommy.” Joy finally compromised.

Shu Pan heaved a sigh of relief.

Secretary Zhang by the side saw Gu Shaoting hang up the phone and heard his tone of voice. He broke out in a cold sweat for him.

He felt like he was talking to a brick wall. What he had just said seemed utterly futile.

He thought that Gu Shaoting had thought it through, but it ended up like this.

The president by the side saw this and said, “Mr. Gu, was it your wife you talked to on the phone? Amazing, how dare you say that! If it were my wife, she would definitely eat me up.”

Gu Shaoting smiled as if he had a lot of experience. “You must not spoil women. You can’t indulge them too much, or they will act like a tyrant.”

“Amazing, amazing! You’re really capable.” Everyone praised him.

Gu Shaoting felt proud of himself.

But if he knew what would happen next, Gu Shaoting probably wouldn’t think so.
