Shu Pan felt that something was wrong when no one came back in after a long time. She stood up and walked out the door.

Then, she saw her father waving his fist at Gu Shaoting.

“Mommy, why is Grandpa hitting Uncle Gu?” Joy asked anxiously.

“Stop, Dad. Watch your blood pressure. Don’t get agitated.” Shu Pan quickly pulled Shu Laide back.

Shu Pan saw that Gu Shaoting’s face was black and blue, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.

Gu Shaoting coughed lightly before he said, “It’s okay. Let Dad punch me a few more times to vent his anger.”

He wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

“Who is your dad? Who are you calling Dad? You b*stard.” Shu Laide was still angry as he shouted.

But he was tired from beating up Gu Shaoting. He leaned against the wall and panted. He was old after all. He had the will but not the stamina. Gu Shaoting had been let off easy.

If he was ten years younger, he would have beaten Gu Shaoting half to death.

Shu Laide then said with anguish, “Look what you’ve done. You almost ruined Panpan’s life. Do you know how much she has suffered the past few years? He thought about the hardships his daughter had endured and felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Was there any father who didn’t love his daughter? He blamed himself every day. His daughter ended up like this because of him.

Gu Shaoting pursed his lips before he said, “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve let Panpan down. Please give me a chance to make it up to her and take care of her. I promise to make her happy every day.”

“Don’t apologize to me.” Shu Laide waved his hand. “You’ve done wrong by Shu Pan. You won’t be able to make it up to her in this lifetime.”

He then punched Gu Shaoting hard in the chest.

Gu Shaoting let out a muffled cough.

“I know. I’ll do my best to make her and Joy happy.” Gu Shaoting promised.

Shu Laide looked at Shu Pan’s anxious expression. Was she worried about Gu Shaoting?

Sigh, married daughters were cut apron strings. Let it be. Matters between the young were not something an old man like him could interfere in.

Shu Laide looked at the few people around him and felt that there was nothing more for him to do. So, he walked back into the house with a long face.

“Who is it?” Lu Lifen asked.

“Who else? It’s Joy’s b*stard father.” Shu Laide said unhappily before he let out a heavy sigh.

“What? Gu Shaoting? Why is he here?” Auntie Lu was very surprised. This was totally unexpected.

She had never heard Shu Pan mention him. No wonder Shu Pan was so indifferent when she introduced other men to her. She still loved Gu Shaoting!

Auntie Lu said with a frown, “What a frenemy couple.”

Sighs filled the house while tension filled the air outside.

“Uncle, you’re bleeding. Does it hurt?” Joy had a look of concern on her face.

Gu Shaoting squatted down and caressed Joy’s head. He then said softly, “Uncle did something wrong and made Grandpa angry.”

“Really? Then Uncle must be more careful next time. You can’t do something wrong again.” Joy said seriously like a little adult.

“Alright, Uncle will never make the same mistake again.” Gu Shaoting seemed to be saying that to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to him.

“Clean yourself up. Why did you do it? I already said that my father still has unresolved feelings about you. He won’t be nice to you.”

Shu Pan felt something strange in her heart as she looked at the bruised and bleeding Gu Shaoting.

“It’s okay. I’m willing to accept his beating if it helps him vent his anger.” Gu Shaoting said indifferently. This was already the best outcome for him.

“You guys go in. I’ll wait outside.” Gu Shaoting wouldn’t dare enter the house without Shu Laide’s permission..
