Charlene could only watch as the files were taken away.
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 Canâs number.
Soon, the call was answered.
âWho is this?â Song Canâs voice came through.
âAuntie, itâs Charlene. Do you remember me?â Charleneâs voice was sweet, making Song Can delighted.
âOf course, of course, Charlene! Why do you have time to call today?â Song Can asked with concern.
âIâm at work, just wanted to ask if youâre free to go shopping and have dinner this weekend?â Charlene asked.
âIâm free.â How could she not be? Now that Shaoting has a wife, heâs forgotten about his mother.
She couldnât be bothered to call him. Every time they meet, it would end in an argument. Why bother causing herself more trouble?
âThatâs great. Letâs meet on Saturday. I just came back from France, not sure where the good restaurants are in Bin City, so Iâll leave it up to you to decide.â
âOkay, see you then.â 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 Panâs 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 CEOâs private elevator.
âAre we disturbing you at work?â Shu Pan actually wanted to take Joy back home.
âNo, Iâm almost done with work. You can come whenever you want, no need to worry about anything,â 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.
âMommy, Daddy said itâs okay,â Joy mischievously remarked.
âYouâŠâ Shu Pan gave her a stern look.
âDaddy, can Mommy and I come directly up next time? We waited downstairs for a long time, and itâs tiring,â Joy whined.
âSure, you can come straight up to find Daddy,â Gu Shaoting replied, feeling somewhat sorry for her. He inwardly criticized those who handled things downstairs.
âThatâs great!â Joy clapped her hands happily.
âYou see, youâve spoiled her. She starts making a fuss if she doesnât see you at noon. How will she manage when she grows up?â Shu Pan sighed softly.
âMy daughter is the best, and Iâll give her the best of everything. She doesnât need to care about othersâ opinions,â 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 childâs upbringing in the future.
Shu Pan and Joy stayed in Gu Shaotingâs 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.
âWasnât that Mr. Guâs wife and child?â someone asked excitedly, as if they had stumbled upon some sensational news.
âI havenât heard that Mr. Gu got married. Where did the child and wife come from?â someone immediately countered.
âCelebrities sometimes marry quietly to avoid attention.â
âThat makes sense.âfreewđbnđšđđđč.đ°đđș
