Chapter 178: Did He Bully You?

So she didn’t agree and quickly held back her emotions before they deepened.

The disappointment in his eyes was something she couldn’t bear to face. Some people were destined to have no resolution.

The next morning, Ye Xiaomeng called, suggesting that Shu Pan join her for lunch and shopping at noon.

It was a case of great minds thinking alike, as Shu Pan had also wanted to invite Ye Xiaomeng out for some fresh air.

With Joy not around, Shu Pan found the weekend quite unbearable.

As noon approached, Shu Pan quickly prepared a simple meal and set it on the table. She didn’t want Gu Shaoting to use this as an excuse to complicate matters. Fortunately, he had gone out in the morning, mentioning something about revisiting the Gu Family’s ancestral mansion.

Knowing he was out, she felt relieved.

After finishing her tasks, she grabbed her bag and left.

When she arrived, Ye Xiaomeng was already waiting.

“Girl, you’re too slow. Is Gu Shaoting preventing you from going out?” Ye Xiaomeng speculated.

“Where did you come up with that?” Shu Pan smiled.

“Has he bullied you?” Ye Xiaomeng asked anxiously.

“No, everything is fine, Comrade Ye Xiaomeng from the neighborhood committee.” Shu Pan felt warm inside, grateful for her concern anytime, anywhere.

“You’re asking for a beating.” Ye Xiaomeng pretended to slap Shu Pan’s hand.

“Rest assured, I’m fine. Once Joy starts school later, I won’t take care of him anymore, and all debts will be settled. It’s a good thing he has amnesia now. At least, he doesn’t know Joy, and we won’t argue about custody.” Shu Pan said with relief.

“You’re too naive. With his mother around, do you think he won’t know about Joy’s existence?” Ye Xiaomeng shattered Shu Pan’s dreams with her words.

Shu Pan felt a bit disheartened.

“Never mind, we’ll deal with it when come across it. Let’s plan for the present.” Shu Pan decided to take one thing at a time.

“Let’s go, buy some beautiful clothes. The brand you like seems to be on sale.” Shu Pan quickly pulled her towards the mall.

“Let’s go. I won’t go home until I max out my credit cards today.” Ye Xiaomeng said confidently.

Indeed, Ye Xiaomeng turned her bold words into actions.

As if it were free, Ye Xiaomeng bought one item after another. Shu Pan seemed to be working as a laborer, helping Ye Xiaomeng carry the bags.

“Girl, did you find anything you like?” Ye Xiaomeng knew that Shu Pan didn’t like to spend money on clothes.

“No, I’m already a mother, and I don’t pay much attention to these things. You dress up nicely and catch a wealthy husband.” Shu Pan teased her, and it was true.

She didn’t like to dress herself up now. Usually, she went makeup-free with a plain face. Fortunately, her natural beauty made up for it.

“Nonsense. A woman should always dress herself up exquisitely. What if you meet the right person the next second?” Ye Xiaomeng quickly corrected her, urging her not to waste her prime years.

“Alright, alright, love expert.” Shu Pan saw the old Ye Xiaomeng in her, lively and full of vitality, seemingly having truly stepped out of Cheng Yang’s shadow. That was great.

“Let’s go. Your birthday is coming up, and I’ll buy you a set of clothes.” Ye Xiaomeng pushed Shu Pan forward.

The dress had a slim design that accentuated her curves, surprising Ye Xiaomeng. Shu Pan’s figure was unexpectedly good..
