When Song Can heard Charlene’s compliment, she couldn’t help but turn around. She learned that the sweet voice belonged to a pretty, young girl with bags of shopping hanging off both her arms.
The bags were all from luxury brands. This young girl obviously came from money.
Song Can was delighted. “Young lady, does this really look good on me?”
Charlene nodded quickly.
“Very much so.”
Song Can chuckled. What a lovely girl.
Sigh, it was so much better to have daughters. Daughters were much more caring, unlike her son, who disregarded all parental advice when he was grown.
Sometimes, when he came home, they would start arguing after just a couple of verbal exchanges. Grown sons never listened to their mothers.
Plus, their arguments were always about Shu Pan. Song Can couldn’t help but sometimes wonder if Shu Pan was the bane of her existence.
Why did her son meet her? Gu Shaoting became like this probably under the influence of Shu Pan.
She was so upset the last time that she went on yet another trip with her friends. Out of sight, out of mind. She had just arrived home yesterday.
She didn’t even tell Gu Shaoting that she was back. She figured that he didn’t care anyway, so she couldn’t be bothered to tell him.
It wouldn’t make any difference anyway.
She felt quite sad thinking about it. A girl she had just met could make her so happy while her son was so infuriating.
“It’s really nice, Song Can. This shawl looks like it was designed for you.” Song Can’s friend added when she heard Charlene’s compliment.
Song Can felt like she was on cloud nine.
“Alright, since everyone says it looks good on me, I’ll get it.” Song Can did not look at the price and was taking off the shawl to ask a sales assistant to wrap it up.
Charlene peeked at the price tag and got a shock. Even when Charlene bought branded goods all the time, she was shocked at the price. The shawl cost a five-figure sum, but this rich lady didn’t even blink an eye and just asked the sales assistant to wrap it up.
“Just buy. You’re the mother of the CEO of Gu Group. Why look at the price tag when you shop? Just get it if you like it.” Her friend teased.
“Please don’t say that. I’ll be the butt of people’s jokes.” Song Can said unhappily. She only had this kind of false reputation. Gu Shaoting still wouldn’t heed her advice.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. That was why she couldn’t be bothered to call him even when she was back.
Charlene thought that she misheard this noble lady’s friend. Did she just refer to this lady as the mother of the CEO of Gu Group?
There was only one Gu Group in Bin City, right? Could this noble lady in front of her be Gu Shaoting’s mother?
She couldn’t believe her luck.
She had been racking her brain on how she could get close to Mrs. Gu and the heavens granted her a chance meeting like this…
“Xiaoyu, is this lady CEO Gu’s mother?” Charlene wanted to confirm.
Xiaoyu thought for a moment and replied, “I’m not sure. She rarely comes to the office. She appeared once but left in a hurry. This lady looks to be her.”
Charlene knew what she had to do. She walked up to Song Can and said, “It still looks better on you.”
“You’re too sweet. Aren’t you going to buy the same shawl?” Song Can saw that Charlene was empty-handed.
“I wouldn’t want to create a fashion faux pas for you. I’ll find something else.” Charlene said cleverly.
“Don’t be silly. What does it matter?” Song Can liked this girl.
She felt an instant connection with her.
“What’s your name, young lady?” Song Can asked.
“Charlene.” She answered quickly.
“That’s a nice name, as sweet as a person.” Song Can said with a smile.
Charlene felt a little shy.
“I don’t know why I felt a sense of familiarity when I met you.” Charlene said fawningly.
