“Don’t get too cocky. Let’s see what you’ve got to compete with us,” Song Can said in extreme anger.

After saying that, she walked away.

Shu Pan stared at her retreating figure, lost in thought for a moment. She truly regretted coming to Bin City. She shouldn’t have come in the first place. If she hadn’t, they wouldn’t have discovered Joy’s existence.

However, given her current situation, she could only go with the flow.

Lately, Gu Shaoting had softened his stance and hadn’t pushed for Joy’s custody. She didn’t know what he was really thinking, as he was always inscrutable.

She had promised Mrs. Wen that she wouldn’t have any connection with Wen Chi, and she couldn’t break her word.

When would fate truly favor her?

Back at the Gu family’s mansion, Song Can was so angry that she threw her bag on the sofa, and Gu Shaoting raised an eyebrow.

“What’s wrong? Who made you so angry?” he asked.

“Who else? It’s your ex-wife! You said Joy is my granddaughter, so why can’t we acknowledge her? What’s wrong with you?” Song Can exclaimed.

“Did you go see Shu Pan?” Gu Shaoting asked hastily.

“Mom, I’ll handle this matter. Please don’t get involved anymore,” Gu Shaoting sighed, fearing that his mother had messed things up.

He had worked hard to improve his relationship with Shu Pan. While he could insist on claiming Joy, he realized, as He Ming had pointed out, that it might not be in Joy’s best interest, and he didn’t want to hurt Shu Pan.

Every time he saw Shu Pan unhappy, it made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn’t understand what was happening to him.

“I was about to talk to you too. We haven’t seen you around lately. Tong Fei has come a few times and hasn’t seen you. She’s your fiancée. Can’t you be more attentive?” Song Can suddenly remembered that she hadn’t seen Gu Shaoting much recently, despite the fact that the company was doing well and there wasn’t much for him to do.

“I’ve been busy with some things,” Gu Shaoting replied vaguely.

“Anyway, I don’t care. You need to make Joy acknowledge her roots soon.

You’ve been engaged to Tong Fei for a while now. When are you planning to get married?” Song Can looked around and realized that everyone else had grandchildren while she was still alone. She was getting impatient.

Now that she finally found out that she had a granddaughter. How could she not be anxious.

Now that she had finally found out about her granddaughter, was she not in a hurry?

“Mom, it’s not urgent. We’ll take our time with this matter. I need to think about my marriage with Tong Fei,” Gu Shaoting increasingly felt the need to carefully consider his marriage to Tong Fei. He was becoming more and more averse to the idea.

Initially, after his separation from Shu Pan, he had been indifferent to everything, and Tong Fei happened to be around, so they got engaged. He had probably lost his feelings for her long ago. When she had left for abroad to pursue her career, he had stopped feeling the same way about her, and when she returned, his initial affection had faded.

However, now, when he saw Shu Pan, he experienced a strange feeling.

Seeing Shu Pan and Joy now brought him a sense of peace. He longed to be with Shu Pan and Joy, and he couldn’t afford to make Shu Pan angry.

Now he found all sorts of excuses to get closer to them every day.

Unfortunately, the person Joy loved the most now was someone called Uncle Wen. He was consumed by jealousy.

Now when Shu Pan saw him, she was cold and distant, and with this move from his mother, he was probably going to be placed on her blocklist. She might think he and his mother were in cahoots, and all his previous efforts would go to waste.

With these thoughts, he immediately dialed Shu Pan’s number. It rang for a long time, but no one answered. In the end, he had no choice but to hang up, deciding he needed to visit in person to explain..
