“Mom, you promised to pick me up earlier.” Joy explained worriedly.

“Don’t worry. If your mother isn’t free, Uncle Gu will come and pick you up, okay?” Gu Shaoting asked for Joy’s opinion before Shu Pan could answer. “Uncle, don’t you have to go to work? If you don’t go to work, you won’t have

money.” Joy said seriously.

“Uncle has a job and enough money.” Gu Shaoting laughed. Joy was so cute.

“That’s great, but will it be very troublesome?” Her mother had taught her not to trouble others.

“It won’t. Uncle has a car so I will be very fast. Besides, it’s Uncle’s honour to serve a little beauty like you.” The more Gu Shaoting looked at Joy, the more he liked her.

Shu Pan listened to their conversation and was too tired to speak. Even if she said something, Gu Shaoting would have thousands of reasons to refute her. Joy was his daughter. If he wanted to pick her up, he could do so. Anyway, he had lost his memory and would not know that Joy was his daughter. However, she still had to make rules with him after she recovered from her tiring day.

Gu Shaoting saw that Shu Pan didn’t say anything and thought that she had tacitly agreed. He secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Seeing that Shupan was so tired, Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to see her go home to cook, so he turned the car around and took them out for dinner.” “Why isn’t it the way home?” Only then did Shu Pan notice.

“You’re tired today. Let’s go out to eat. Joy, what do you want to eat?” Gu Shaoting asked.

“KFC.” Joy replied happily. She had only been there once in her lifetime taken by her godmother.

“No, it’s too heaty.” Shu Pan rejected her immediately.

Gu Shaoting didn’t dare to plead for Joy. “Uncle will take you there next time. Let’s eat something else this time, okay?”

“All right then.” Joy reluctantly agreed.

Gu Shaoting took them to Gathered Dragon. The Chinese food here had always been of high standard. Gu Shaoting was a regular customer. He had just stepped in with Joy when the manager came to greet him.

“Mr. Gu, is it still the same seat?” The manager bowed and asked. When he saw the little girl in his arms, he was stunned for a moment but quickly returned to his senses. The privacy of the VIP guests was not something they could talk about.

“Yes, serve the dishes as soon as possible. Try to make it as light as possible.” Gu Shaoting ordered and then walked to the private room he usually sat in.

After the dishes were served, Gu Shaoting was busy taking care of the mother and daughter. He felt very satisfied.

Gu Shaoting and family were happy and harmonious, but Tong Fei was extremely depressed. Today, she went to look for Gu Shaoting and learned of his decision.

It seemed that there was no room for negotiation. She was really unwilling to accept it. Everything was fine originally. Why did everything change when she met Shu Pan?

Shu Pan was the bane of her life. It seemed that the lesson she gave Shu Pan was not enough. No matter if she ended up with Gu Shaoting or not, Tong Fei really could not take it lying down.

At the moment, her career was more important. When her career stabilized, she would deal with Shu Pan.

Tong Fei thought hatefully in her heart. Getting the role in the movie was the most important thing at the moment. Although the director had said to give her the role the other day, she would not feel at ease if she did not get the contract and script.

She thought about it carefully. On the day of the audition, a group of people went out. There were investors, directors, and a few young actresses who were auditioning. Everyone looked normal on the surface, but when they talked about the movie, they were scheming behind their backs.

She saw the investor next to her reach out to touch the thigh of the actress next to him. Boss Zhu was also rubbing her calf with his foot. It was obvious what he wanted, but she pretended not to know because she didn’t know what Gu Shaoting’s feelings were. If there was a chance to turn things around, she couldn’t be caught in a scandal..
