Chapter 378: Rumors
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan were a little distracted after meeting their colleagues. So they headed back after shopping for a while.
Shu Pan thought that the incident on the pedestrian street was over. After all, it was a small matter and not worth mentioning.
However, who would have thought that it would cause such a huge uproar in the company?
The next day, Shu Pan woke up late, so she came to the company a little later than usual, but she was not late.
Because she was in a hurry, she didn’t notice her colleagues’ strange gazes just now.
When she sat at her desk, put down her things, and calmed down, she realized that a few colleagues were whispering to each other while looking at her.
Shu Pan was very puzzled. How did she become the object of others’ gossip behind her back?
It seemed like nothing special had happened recently.
Shu Pan shook her head and planned to get back to work. She had never been interested in gossip.
She didn’t want to know, but with Tang Wei around, it was hard for her not to know.
Sure enough, when Tang Wei came out of the pantry and saw Shu Pan, she didn’t even have time to put down the cup in her hand and walked over.
“Shu Pan, you’re finally here. I’m suffocating.” Tang Wei was gossipy.
“What’s wrong? Why is everyone looking at me like that?” Shu Pan asked in confusion.
“You don’t know yet, right? Someone spread the news that you’re advancing on Mr. Gu.” Tang Wei didn’t know if the news was true, but it was spread methodically.
Shu Pan was shocked. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
“How could such a ridiculous thing spread?” Shu Pan frowned. Her advancing on Gu Shaoting has to be the biggest joke of the year.
“Yeah, I find it unbelievable too. If you were that kind of person, you wouldn’t still be single.” Shu Pan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Tang Wei’s words.
“Who spread it?” Suddenly, Shu Pan thought of MO Lan and another colleague whom she met on the street last night.
“I don’t know. But someone said that they saw you with Mr. Gu together last night. It seemed like you were on a date.” When Tang Wei said this, Shu Pan guessed that it was MO Lan who spread the rumours.
Shu Pan was suddenly furious. Why was MO Lan always staring at her like a mad dog?
In her impression, she had never offended her before. This person’s personality was twisted.
“No, it’s just a rumour. We met by accident. MO Lan and another colleague met him too.” Shu Pan had always kept her personal life separate, so she didn’t admit it.
She felt that it was a white lie. After all, it was not nice to talk about personal matters at work.
“That goes without saying. MO Lan must have spread it.” Tang Wei knew MO Lan well and knew that she liked to gossip.
“Forget it. Let her talk if she wants to. After all, it involves the CEO. If she speaks nonsense and is found out, she will probably be fired.” Shu Pan felt tired. The best way to deal with people like that was to turn a blind eye.
“Oh right, don’t take it to heart. These rumours will disappear in two days.” The work pressure in the company was relatively high. They could only gossip a little, but it would soon be over.
“I’m fine.” Shu Pan smiled slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness in her smile.
After Tang Wei left, Shu Pan fell into deep thought. It was difficult for her to keep quiet.
Her relationship with Gu Shaoting ultimately had to be made public, but not now. ‘l’ney nad just gotten togetner and needed time to get used to eacn otner.
She Imew that Gu Shaoting wanted to make it public. He didn’t want their interactions to be done secretly but she wasn’t mentally prepared yet, so it was better to do it later..
